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 ... -
An Interface-based Modular Approach for Designing Distributed Event-based Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2008-04-25)A Distributed Event-based System (DEBS) exhibits its desired behavior through its functional components collaborating with each other via event exchanging. Due to loose-coupling and flexibility, DEBS applications have ... -
Interference Management in Dense 802.11 Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2009-09-29)Wireless networks are growing at a phenomenal rate. This growth is causing an overcrowding of the unlicensed RF spectrum, leading to increased interference between co-located devices. Existing decentralized medium access ... -
Interference-Aware Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2008-12-05)User demand for seamless connectivity has encouraged the development of alternatives to traditional communications infrastructure networks. Potential solutions have to be low-cost, easily deployable and adaptive to the ... -
Interior-Point Algorithms Based on Primal-Dual Entropy
(University of Waterloo, 2006)We propose a family of search directions based on primal-dual entropy in the context of interior point methods for linear programming. This new family contains previously proposed search directions in the context of ... -
Internal Wave Generation and Near-Resonant Interactions: Theory and Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-29)Near-resonant triad interactions and wave generation theory are investigated for continuously stratified fluids. Interaction equations are derived for spatially-varying wave trains under the inviscid Boussinesq approximation. ... -
Internal Wave Interaction with Broad Topography in the Presence of a Near-Bottom Stratification
(University of Waterloo, 2016-05-02)This thesis considers the impact of internal waves on the transport of suspended matter across the bottom boundary layer. High resolution two- and three-dimensional direct numerical simulations of fully nonlinear, ... -
Internet Congestion Control: Modeling and Stability Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-27)The proliferation and universal adoption of the Internet has made it become the key information transport platform of our time. Congestion occurs when resource demands exceed the capacity, which results in poor performance ... -
Internet of Drones
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE): OAJ, 2016-03-02)The Internet of Drones (IoD) is a layered network control architecture designed mainly for coordinating the access of unmanned aerial vehicles to controlled airspace, and providing navigation services between locations ... -
Interpolation Sets For Compact Abelian Groups
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-04)We will study various properties of I_0 and \epsilon-Kronecker sets. We show that most infinite sets in the discrete dual group contain infinite interpolation sets. -
Interpreting and Answering Keyword Queries using Web Knowledge Bases
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-22)Many keyword queries issued to Web search engines target information about real world entities, and interpreting these queries over Web knowledge bases can allow a search system to provide exact answers to keyword ... -
Intersperse Coloring
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-27)In this thesis, we introduce the intersperse coloring problem, which is a generalized version of the hypergraph coloring problem. In the intersperse coloring problem, we seek a coloring that assigns at least l different ... -
Interval Censoring and Longitudinal Survey Data
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-11)Being able to explore a relationship between two life events is of great interest to scientists from different disciplines. Some issues of particular concern are, for example, the connection between smoking cessation and ... -
Intervals with few Prime Numbers
(University of Waterloo, 2004)In this thesis we discuss some of the tools used in the study of the number of primes in short intervals. In particular, we discuss a large sieve density estimate due to Gallagher and two classical delay equations. ...
