The Impact of Domain Knowledge on the Effectiveness of Requirements Engineering Activities
(University of Waterloo, 2014-05-21)One of the factors that seems to influence an individual’s effectiveness in requirements engineering activities is his or her knowledge of the problem being solved, i.e., domain knowledge. While in-depth domain knowledge ... -
The Impact Of Human-Environment Interactions On The Stability Of Forest-Grassland Mosaic Ecosystems
(Nature Publishing Group, 2013-09-19)Forest-grassland mosaic ecosystems can exhibit alternative stables states, whereby under the same environmental conditions, the ecosystem could equally well reside either in one state or another, depending on the initial ... -
The Impact of Information Technology Investments on Hospital Performance and Quality of Care
(University of Waterloo, 2011-10-18)The business value of Information Technology (measuring the impact of IT investments on organizational productivity and efficiency) and quantifying Information technology’s tangible and intangible benefits havebeen significant ... -
The Impact of Internal Solitary Waves on the Nutrient Circulation System
(University of Waterloo, 2013-07-25)Internal waves in lakes and oceans are ubiquitous whenever a density stratification is present. These waves are relatively slow moving, can be large in extent and have long time scales. As these waves are so common, it is ... -
Impact of Mobility and Wireless Channel on the Performance of Wireless Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2006)This thesis studies the impact of mobility and wireless channel characteristics, i. e. , variability and high bit-error-rate, on the performance of integrated voice and data wireless systems from network, transport ... -
The Impact of Near-Duplicate Documents on Information Retrieval Evaluation
(University of Waterloo, 2011-01-21)Near-duplicate documents can adversely affect the efficiency and effectiveness of search engines. Due to the pairwise nature of the comparisons required for near-duplicate detection, this process is extremely costly in ... -
Impact of sex and pathophysiology on optimal drug choice in hypertensive rats: Quantitative insights for precision medicine
(Elsevier, 2021-04)Less than half of all hypertensive patients receiving treatment are successful in normalizing their blood pressure. Despite the complexity and heterogeneity of hypertension, the current antihypertensive guidelines are not ... -
The Impact of Small Time Delays on the Onset of Oscillations and Synchrony in Brain Networks
(Frontiers Publishing, 2021-07)The human brain constitutes one of the most advanced networks produced by nature, consisting of billions of neurons communicating with each other. However, this communication is not in real-time, with different communication ... -
The Impact of Teams in Multiagent Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2023-07-31)Across many domains, the ability to work in teams can magnify a group's abilities beyond the capabilities of any individual. While the science of teamwork is typically studied in organizational psychology (OP) and areas ... -
Impacts Of Constrained Culling And Vaccination On Control Of Foot And Mouth Disease In Near-Endemic Settings: A Pair Approximation Model
(Elsevier, 2014-12-01)Many countries have eliminated foot and mouth disease (FMD), but outbreaks remain common in other countries. Rapid development of international trade in animals and animal products has increased the risk of disease ... -
The Impacts Of Simultaneous Disease Intervention Decisions On Epidemic Outcomes
(Elsevier, 2016-04-21)Mathematical models of the interplay between disease dynamics and human behavioural dynamics can improve our understanding of how diseases spread when individuals adapt their behaviour in response to an epidemic. Accounting ... -
Implementation of Kalman Filtering for Differential-Algebraic Equations
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-28)This thesis describes two Kalman filters which are usable on semi-explicit index-1 differential-algebraic equations, prior to which a discussion of linear and nonlinear Kalman filters is presented. Performance between ... -
An Implementation of the Discontinuous Galerkin Method on Graphics Processing Units
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-07)Computing highly-accurate approximate solutions to partial differential equations (PDEs) requires both a robust numerical method and a powerful machine. We present a parallel implementation of the discontinuous Galerkin ... -
Implementation of the Metal Privileged Architecture
(University of Waterloo, 2020-08-31)The privileged architecture of modern computer architectures is expanded through new architectural features that are implemented in hardware or through instruction set extensions. These extensions are tied to particular ... -
Implementations of iterative algorithms in Hadoop and Spark
(University of Waterloo, 2014-07-29)Facing the challenges of large amounts of data generated by various companies (such as Facebook, Amazon, and Twitter), cloud computing frameworks such as Hadoop are used to store and process the Big Data. Hadoop, an open ... -
Implementing a Functional Language for Flix
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-15)Static program analysis is a powerful technique for maintaining software, with applications such as compiler optimizations, code refactoring, and bug finding. Static analyzers are typically implemented in general-purpose ... -
Implementing Overloading and Polymorphism in Cforall
(University of Waterloo, 2003)The programming language Cforall extends the C language with, among other things, overloading, parametric polymorphism, and functions that can return multiple values from a single call. This thesis presents an outline ... -
Implementing the Castryck-Decru attack on SIDH with general primes
(University of Waterloo, 2024-01-09)With the rapid progress of quantum computers in recent years, efforts have been made to standardize new public-key cryptographic protocols which would be secure against them. One of the schemes in contention was Supersingular ... -
Implementing the Schoof-Elkies-Atkin Algorithm with NTL
(University of Waterloo, 2013-04-30)In elliptic curve cryptography, cryptosystems are based on an additive subgroup of an elliptic curve defined over a finite field, and the hardness of the Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem is dependent on the order ... -
