Generation Capacity Expansion Planning in Deregulated Electricity Markets
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-22)With increasing demand of electric power in the context of deregulated electricity markets, a good strategic planning for the growth of the power system is critical for our tomorrow. There is a need to build new resources ... -
Generation Scheduling in Microgrids under Uncertainties in Power Generation
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-29)Recently, the concept of Microgrids (MG) has been introduced in the distribution network. Microgrids are defined as small power systems that consist of various distributed micro generators that are capable of supplying a ... -
Generative Adversarial Networks for ECG generation, translation, imputation and denoising
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-30)Artificial Intelligence is increasingly being used in medical applications. One challenge present in AI in medicine is not having high quality datasets available for training machine learning models. In this work, I explore ... -
Global Sampled-Data Regulation of a Class of Fully Actuated Invariant Systems on Simply Connected Nilpotent Matrix Lie Groups
(IEEE, 2021-02-09)We examine a regulator problem for a class of fully actuated continuous-time invariant systems on Lie groups, using a discrete-time controller with constant sampling period. We present a smooth discrete-time control law ... -
Global Stability of a Class of Difference Equations on Solvable Lie Algebras
(Springer, 2020-06-17)Motivated by the ubiquitous sampled-data setup in applied control, we examine the stability of a class of difference equations that arises by sampling a right- or left-invariant flow on a solvable matrix Lie group. The map ... -
Global-connected network with generalized ReLU activation
(Elsevier, 2019-12)Recent Progress has shown that exploitation of hidden layer neurons in convolutional neural networks (CNN) incorporating with a carefully designed activation function can yield better classification results in the field ... -
GoA: Actors with Locally Managed Memory for Go
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-25)Reasoning about concurrent programs and the way they manage memory can be difficult. Single-process programs can allocate memory without concern regarding data races or memory corruption, but multi-threaded programs must ... -
GPU Wavefront Splitting for Safety-Critical Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2022-10-07)Graphics processing units (GPUs) are compute platforms that are ideal for highly parallel workloads due to their high degree of hardware parallelism. Parallelism offered by GPUs lends itself well to machine learning and ... -
Grafted polymer monolayer brush as electron beam resist
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-11)This thesis focuses on the nanofabrication process using novel electron beam resists. First, in Chapter 3 and Chapter 4, the nanofabrication process using grafted polymer monolayer brush as e-beam resist was examined. ... -
Grammar-Based Representations of Large Sparse Binary Matrices
(University of Waterloo, 2016-10-26)Large sparse matrices representation is a fundamental problem in big data processing and analysis. In some applications dealing with large sparse matrices, the I/O of these sparse matrices is the bottleneck of the whole ... -
Grammatical Functions and Possibilistic Reasoning for the Extraction and Representation of Semantic Knowledge in Text Documents
(University of Waterloo, 2007-12-05)This study seeks to explore and develop innovative methods for the extraction of semantic knowledge from unlabelled written English documents and the representation of this knowledge using a formal mathematical expression ... -
Granger Causal Network Learning and the Depth Wise Grouped LASSO
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-31)In this thesis we study the notion of Granger-causality, a statistical concept originally developed to estimate causal effects in econometrics. First, we suggest a more general notion of Granger-causality in which to frame ... -
A graph based approach for formal verification of Galois field multipliers
