Edge State Transfer
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-11)Let G be a graph and let t be a positive real number. Then the evolution of the continuous quantum walk defined on G is described by the transition matrix U(t)=exp(itH).The matrix H is called Hamiltonian. So far the most ... -
Edge-disjoint Linkages in Infinite Graphs
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-26)The main subject of this thesis is the infinite graph version of the weak linkage conjecture by Thomassen [24]. We first prove results about the structure of the lifting graph; Theorems 2.2.8, 2.2.24, and 2.3.1. As an ... -
EdgeX: Edge Replication for Web Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2015-10-13)Global web applications face the problem of high network latency due to their need to communicate with distant data centers. Many applications use edge networks for caching images, CSS, javascript, and other static content ... -
Editing Fluid Flows with Divergence-Free Biharmonic Vector Field Interpolation
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-16)Achieving satisfying fluid animation through numerical simulation can be time-consuming because such simulations are computationally expensive to perform and there are few practical post-processing tools for editing of ... -
The Edmonds-Giles Conjecture and its Relaxations
(University of Waterloo, 2022-12-23)Given a directed graph, a directed cut is a cut with all arcs oriented in the same direction, and a directed join is a set of arcs which intersects every directed cut at least once. Edmonds and Giles conjectured for all ... -
Effcient Simulation of Message-Passing in Distributed-Memory Architectures
(University of Waterloo, 1996)In this thesis we propose a distributed-memory parallel-computer simulation system called PUPPET (Performance Under a Pseudo-Parallel EnvironmenT). It allows the evaluation of parallel programs run in a pseudo-parallel ... -
Effect of a Mobile Phone Intervention on Quitting Smoking in a Young Adult Population of Smokers: Randomized Controlled Trial
(JMIR, 2018-10-23)Background: Digital mobile technology presents a promising medium for reaching young adults with smoking cessation interventions because they are the heaviest users of this technology. Objective: The aim of this study ... -
The Effect of Input Signals Time-Delay on Stabilizing Traffic with Autonomous Vehicles
(IEEE, 2021-05)This paper extends the results in [1] considering time delays in Standard Car Following models (CFMs). In [1], connected vehicles are characterized with CFMs models and controlled using linear string analysis to stabilize ... -
The effect of omitted covariates in marginal and partially conditional recurrent event analyses
(Springer, 2019-04-01)There have been many advances in statistical methodology for the analysis of recurrent event data in recent years. Multiplicative semiparametric rate-based models are widely used in clinical trials, as are more general ... -
Effect of Prevalence on Relevance Assessing Behaviour
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-29)Relevance assessing is an important part of information retrieval (IR) evaluation in addition to being something that all users of IR systems must do as part of their search for relevant documents. In this thesis, we present ... -
The Effect of Time-Varying Boundary Conditions on the Generation of Sum and Difference Frequency Tones in a Coaxial Loudspeaker
(University of Waterloo, 2009-06-22)A coaxial loudspeaker in which the woofer and tweeter oscillate at angular frequencies ω_1 and ω_2 respectively, is known to produce sum and difference frequencies ω_± = ω_1 ± ω_2. The generation of these can be attributed ... -
Effective and Efficient Optimization Methods for Kernel Based Classification Problems
(University of Waterloo, 2014-04-22)Kernel methods are a popular choice in solving a number of problems in statistical machine learning. In this thesis, we propose new methods for two important kernel based classification problems: 1) learning from highly ... -
Effective Dimensionality Control in Quantitative Finance and Insurance
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-06)It is well-known that dimension reduction techniques such as the Brownian bridge, principal component analysis, linear transformation could increase the efficiency of Quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) methods. Caflisch et al. (1997), ... -
Effective Math-Aware Ad-Hoc Retrieval based on Structure Search and Semantic Similarities
(University of Waterloo, 2023-09-15)Despite the prevalence of digital scientific and educational contents on the Internet, only a few search engines are capable to retrieve them efficiently and effectively. The main challenge in freely searching scientific ... -
Effective Use of SSDs in Database Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2018-05-07)With the advent of solid state drives (SSDs), the storage industry has experienced a revolutionary improvement in I/O performance. Compared to traditional hard disk drives (HDDs), SSDs benefit from shorter I/O latency, ... -
Effects of a Geostrophic Current on the Propagation and Generation of Internal Tides
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-30)Internal tides (ITs) are ubiquitous in a stratified ocean where they are generated in response to tidal flows incident upon bottom topography. Along-shelf currents or boundary currents are ocean currents commonly observed ... -
The Effects of Confinement on Kelvin-Helmholtz Billows
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-15)Turbulence is one of the most interesting and important, yet poorly understood, aspects of fluid mechanics. The transition from an unstable laminar flow to a fully turbulent flow can follow many paths depending on the ... -
Effects of Developmental Heuristics for Natural Language Learning
(University of Waterloo, 2003)Machine learning in natural language has been a widely pursued area of research. However, few learning techniques model themselves after human learning, despite the nature of the task being closely connected to human ... -
The effects of dielectric decrement and finite ion size on differential capacitance of electrolytically gated graphene
(Elsevier, 2018-06-01)We analyze the effects of dielectric decrement and finite ion size in an aqueous electrolyte on the capacitance of a graphene electrode, and make comparisons with the effects of dielectric saturation combined with finite ... -
