    • Area-Efficient Drawings of Outer-1-Planar Graphs 

      Bulatovic, Pavle (University of Waterloo, 2020-09-29)
      We study area-efficient drawings of planar graphs: embeddings of graphs on an integer grid so that the bounding box of the drawing is minimized. Our focus is on the class of outer-1-planar graphs: the family of planar ...
    • Armitage Lecture 2011: The Design and Analysis of Life History Studies 

      Lawless, Jerald F. (Wiley, 2013)
      Life history studies collect information on events and other outcomes during people’s lifetimes. For example, these may be related to childhood development, education, fertility, health, or employment. Such longitudinal ...
    • Artin's Conjecture: Unconditional Approach and Elliptic Analogue 

      Sen Gupta, Sourav (University of Waterloo, 2008-08-11)
      In this thesis, I have explored the different approaches towards proving Artin's `primitive root' conjecture unconditionally and the elliptic curve analogue of the same. This conjecture was posed by E. Artin in the year ...
    • Artin's Primitive Root Conjecture and its Extension to Compositie Moduli 

      Camire, Patrice (University of Waterloo, 2008-08-11)
      If we fix an integer a not equal to -1 and which is not a perfect square, we are interested in estimating the quantity N_{a}(x) representing the number of prime integers p up to x such that a is a generator of the cyclic ...
    • Asking for Help with a Cost in Reinforcement Learning 

      Vandenhof, Colin (University of Waterloo, 2020-05-15)
      Reinforcement learning (RL) is a powerful tool for developing intelligent agents, and the use of neural networks makes RL techniques more scalable to challenging real-world applications, from task-oriented dialogue systems ...
    • An Aspect-Oriented Approach to Design and Develop Hypermedia Documents 

      Zhang, Ping (University of Waterloo, 2005)
      Hypermedia applications can be defined as collections of interactive multimedia documents that are organized as a hypertext net. The variety of application domains and the complexity of the relationship among the application ...
    • Aspect-Oriented Smart Proxies in Java RMI 

      Stevenson, Andrew (University of Waterloo, 2008-05-21)
      Java's Remote Method Invocation (RMI) architecture allows distributed applications to be written in Java. Clients can communicate with a server via a local proxy object that hides the network and server implementation ...
    • Aspects of Metric Spaces in Computation 

      Skala, Matthew Adam (University of Waterloo, 2008-06-06)
      Metric spaces, which generalise the properties of commonly-encountered physical and abstract spaces into a mathematical framework, frequently occur in computer science applications. Three major kinds of questions about ...
    • Aspects of Quantum Field Theory in Enumerative Graph Theory 

      Yusim, Samuel (University of Waterloo, 2022-10-24)
      While a quantum field theorist has many uses for mathematics of all kinds, the relationship between quantum field theory and mathematics is far too fluid in the world of modern research to be described as the simple provision ...
    • Assessing a binary measurement system: A new plan using targeted verification with conditional sampling and baseline information 

      Severn, Daniel Ernest; Steiner, Stefan H.; MacKay, R. Jock (Elsevier, 2019-11)
      We investigate efficient plans to assess the misclassification error rates of a binary measurement system used as an in-line inspection protocol. We assume that parts can be inspected repeatedly and that each part has its ...
    • Assessing Binary Measurement Systems 

      Danila, Oana Mihaela (University of Waterloo, 2012-01-19)
      Binary measurement systems (BMS) are widely used in both manufacturing industry and medicine. In industry, a BMS is often used to measure various characteristics of parts and then classify them as pass or fail, according ...
    • Assessing Binary Measurement Systems Using Targeted Verification with a Gold Standard 

      Severn, Daniel Ernest (University of Waterloo, 2017-05-19)
      Binary Measurement Systems (BMS) are used to classify objects into two categories. Sometimes the categories represent some intrinsically dichotomous characteristic of the object, but sometimes continuous or even multidimensional ...
    • Assessing the accuracy of predictive models with interval-censored data 

      Wu, Ying; Cook, Richard (Oxford University Press, 2022-01)
      We develop methods for assessing the predictive accuracy of a given event time model when the validation sample is comprised of case K interval-censored data. An imputation-based, an inverse probability weighted (IPW), and ...
    • Assessing The Pandemic Potential Of Mers-Cov 

      Bauch, Chris T.; Oraby, Tamer (Elsevier, 2013-08-24)
      No Abstract Available
    • Assessing the Reliability of Deep Learning Applications 

      TIAN, Yongqiang (University of Waterloo, 2023-08-01)
      Deep Learning (DL) applications are widely deployed in diverse areas, such as image classification, natural language processing, and auto-driving systems. Although these applications achieve outstanding performance in terms ...
    • Assessing the Trainability of the Variational Quantum State Diagonalization Algorithm at Scale 

      Arrow, Joan (University of Waterloo, 2022-04-28)
      Quantum algorithm development is a famously difficult problem. The lack of intuition concerning the quantum realm makes constructing quantum algorithms which solve partic- ular problems of interest difficult. In addition, ...
    • Assessment and Comparison of Continuous Measurement Systems 

      Stevens, Nathaniel (University of Waterloo, 2014-12-10)
      In this thesis we critically examine the assessment and comparison of continuous measurement systems. Measurement systems, defined to be the devices, people, and protocol used to make a measurement, are an important tool ...
    • Asset Return Correlations in Episodes of Systemic Crises 

      Melkuev, David (University of Waterloo, 2014-08-22)
      This thesis explores asset return correlation dynamics in relation to systemic crises. The eigenvalues obtained from principal component analysis performed on the sample return correlation matrix equal the variance explained ...
    • An Assistive Handwashing System with Emotional Intelligence 

      Lin, Luyuan (University of Waterloo, 2014-08-19)
      Whether emotional intelligence (or, affective reasoning) is included can influence the effectiveness of a cognitive assistive system. This thesis presents a novel emotionally intelligent hand-washing assistant that aims ...
    • Astra Version 1.0: Evaluating Translations from Alloy to SMT-LIB 

      Abbassi, Ali; Day, Nancy A.; Rayside, Derek (2019-06-13)
      We present a variety of translation options for converting Alloy to SMT-LIB via Alloy’s Kodkod interface. Our translations, which are implemented in a library that we call Astra, are based on converting the set and relational ...
