Ink-based Note Taking On Mobile Devices
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-20)Although touchscreen mobile phones are widely used for recording informal text notes (e.g., grocery lists, reminders and directions), the lack of efficient mechanisms for combining informal graphical content with text is ... -
Inner approximation of convex cones via primal-dual ellipsoidal norms
(University of Waterloo, 2016-05-13)We study ellipsoids from the point of view of approximating convex sets. Our focus is on finding largest volume ellipsoids with specified centers which are contained in certain convex cones. After reviewing the related ... -
Innovations in Domain Knowledge Augmentation of Contextual Models
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-03)The digital transformation of our society is creating a tremendous amount of data at an unprecedented rate. A large part of this data is in unstructured text format. While enjoying the benefit of instantaneous data access, ... -
The Instability of Geophysical Flows: Two-layer Frontal Instabilities and Continuously Stratified Inertial Instabilities
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-11)This thesis examines the instabilities of idealized two layer fronts with vertically curved interfaces as well as the inertial instabilities of barotropic and baroclinic jets with background linear stratification. We ... -
The Instability of Mesoscale Jets in Idealized Two-Layer Models
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-06)The rotating shallow water (RSW) equations have been used extensively in oceanographic literature to model dynamical elements of the world’s oceans and atmosphere at large scales. The RSW model is a simple and useful model ... -
Integral Moments of Quadratic Dirichlet L-functions: A Computational Perspective
(University of Waterloo, 2010-04-27)In recent years, the moments of L-functions has been a topic of growing interest in the field of analytic number theory. New techniques, including applications of Random Matrix Theory and multiple Dirichlet series, have ... -
An Integral Projection Model for Giant Hogweed
(University of Waterloo, 2019-02-04)In this thesis I investigate the impact that the choice of model may have on predictions of giant hogweed population dynamics. It has been shown in two case studies that population growth rates predicted by matrix population ... -
Integrality theorems for symmetric instantons
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-05)Anti-self-dual (ASD) instantons on R4 are connections A on SU(N)-vector bundles with finite L2-norm and curvature satisfying the ASD equation. Solutions to this non-linear partial differential equation correspond to certain ... -
An integrated personnel allocation and machine scheduling problem for industrial size multipurpose plants
(Elsevier, 2018-01-01)This paper describes the development and implementation of an optimization model to solve the integrated problem of personnel allocation and machine scheduling for industrial size multipurpose plants. Although each of these ... -
Integrating Column-Oriented Storage and Query Processing Techniques into Graph Database Management Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2020-08-14)Column-oriented RDBMSs, which support traditional read-heavy analytics workloads, employ a specific set of storage and query processing techniques for scalability and performance, such as positional tuple IDs, column-specific ... -
Integrating Experimental and Computational Approaches to Optimize 3D Bioprinting of Cancer Cells
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-21)A key feature distinguishing 3D bioprinting from other 3D cell culture techniques is its precise control over created structures. This property allows for the high-resolution fabrication of biomimetic structures with ... -
Integrating Semantically Configurable State-machine Models in a C Programming Environment
(University of Waterloo, 2015-10-02)Model-driven engineering is a popular software-development methodology, which requires suitable domain-specific modelling languages (DSLs) to create models. A DSL requires flexible semantics depending on the domain knowledge. ... -
Integrating Skips and Bitvectors for List Intersection
(University of Waterloo, 2014-11-20)This thesis examines space-time optimizations of in-memory search engines. Search engines can answer queries quickly, but this is accomplished using significant resources in the form of multiple machines running concurrently. ... -
Integration in Computer Experiments and Bayesian Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2005)Mathematical models are commonly used in science and industry to simulate complex physical processes. These models are implemented by computer codes which are often complex. For this reason, the codes are also ... -
Integrity and Privacy of Large Data
(University of Waterloo, 2015-11-26)There has been considerable recent interest in "cloud storage" wherein a user asks a server to store a large file. One issue is whether the user can verify that the server is actually storing the file, and typically a ... -
Interaction of Brain Cancer Stem Cells and the Tumour Microenvironment: A Computational Study
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-10)Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is one of the most common and aggressive primary brain tumours, with a median patient survival time of 6-12 months in adults. It has been recently suggested that a typically small sub-population ... -
The Interactions of Graphene with Ionic Solutions and Their Effects on the Differential Capacitance for Sensing Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-28)Nano-scale devices continue to challenge the theoretical understanding of microscopic systems. Of particular interest is the characterization of the interface electrochemistry of sensors, which operate as field effect ... -
Interactive and Static Statistical Graphics: Bridge to Integration
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-17)There are plenty of graphical packages in R which play an important role in building graphics for data analysis, either static graphics (e.g., `graphics`, `grid`, `ggplot2`) or interactive graphics (e.g., `loon`, `shiny`). ... -
Interactive Visualization and Exploration of High-Dimensional Data
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-21)Visualizing data is an essential part of good statistical practice. Plots are useful for revealing structure in the data, checking model assumptions, detecting outliers and finding unanticipated patterns. Post-analysis ... -
Interconnections accelerate collapse in a socio-ecological metapopulation
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 2017-09-28)Resource over-exploitation can have profound effects on both ecosystems and the human populations residing in them. Models of population growth based on a depletable resources have been studied previously, but relatively ...
