Aging affects circadian clock and metabolism and modulates timing of medication
(Elsevier, 2021-04)Aging is associated with impairments in the circadian rhythms, and with energy deregulation that affects multiple metabolic pathways. The goal of this study is to unravel the complex interactions among aging, metabolism, ... -
Algebraic Multigrid for Markov Chains and Tensor Decomposition
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-23)The majority of this thesis is concerned with the development of efficient and robust numerical methods based on adaptive algebraic multigrid to compute the stationary distribution of Markov chains. It is shown that classical ... -
Algorithms and Models for Tensors and Networks with Applications in Data Science
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-19)Big data plays an increasingly central role in many areas of research including optimization and network modeling. We consider problems applicable to large datasets within these two branches of research. We begin by ... -
Almost-Sure Stability of a Noisy Autoparametric Vibration Absorber
(University of Waterloo, 2022-12-13)This thesis investigates the almost-sure stability of the single mode solution of a two degree-of-freedom, noisy, nonlinear autoparametric system. While only the first mode is forced in such a system, the nonlinear coupling ... -
Analysis of a pressure-robust hybridized discontinuous Galerkin method for the stationary Navier-Stokes equations
(Springer, 2019-08-30)We present well-posedness and an a priori error analysis of the hybridized discontinuous Galerkin method for the stationary form of the Navier-Stokes problem proposed in (J Sci Comput, 76(3):1484{ 1501, 2018). This scheme ... -
Analysis of Asymptotic Solutions for Cusp Problems in Capillarity
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-27)The capillary surface $u(x,y)$ near a cusp region satisfies the boundary value problem: \begin{eqnarray} \nabla \cdot \frac{\nabla u}{\sqrt{1+\left|\nabla u \right|^2}}&=&\kappa u \qquad \textrm{in }\left\{(x,y): ... -
Analysis of Light-Matter Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-18)In this thesis we introduce the simplest model of a two–level system coupled to a single mode of an optical cavity, called the Jaynes-Cummings model. This model is then extended to an ensemble of identical two-level systems ... -
Analysis of Plasmons Sustained on the Surface of Graphene
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-11)This thesis is broken into two parts, both dealing with the role of two-dimensional graphene in electronic and optical applications. The first section develops a phenomenological relationship for the polarizability of the ... -
An Analysis of Stockwell Transforms, with Applications to Image Processing
(University of Waterloo, 2014-04-30)Time-frequency analysis is a powerful tool for signal analysis and processing. The Fourier transform and wavelet transforms are used extensively as is the Short-Time Fourier Transform (or Gabor transform). In 1996 the ... -
Angles, Majorization, Wielandt Inequality and Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-29)In this thesis we revisit two classical definitions of angle in an inner product space: real-part angle and Hermitian angle. Special attention is paid to Krein’s inequality and its analogue. Some applications are given, ... -
An Anisotropic Subgrid-Scale Parameterization for Large-Eddy Simulations of Stratified Turbulence
(AMS, 2020-10-01)Subgrid-scale (SGS) parameterizations in atmosphere and ocean models are often defined independently in the horizontal and vertical directions because the grid spacing is not the same in these directions (anisotropic ... -
Annular Capillary Surfaces: Properties and Approximation Techniques
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-17)The capillary surface formed within a symmetric annular tube is analyzed. Assuming identical contact angles along each boundary, we consider surfaces u(x,y) that satisfy the capillary problem on an annular region. Several ... -
An Antibiotic Protocol To Minimize Emergence Of Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis
(Elsevier, 2014-04-15)A within-host model of the spread of tuberculosis is proposed here where the emergence of drug resistance and bacterial dormancy are simultaneously combined. We consider both sensitive and resistant strains of tuberculosis ... -
Application of Mixture Theory to solid tumors and normal pressure hydrocephalus
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-15)In this thesis, the theory of poroelasticity, namely the Mixture Theory version -- a homogenized, macroscopic scale approach used to describe fluid flow through a porous medium -- is employed in three separate cases ... -
Application of repetitive control to the lateral motion in a roll-to-roll web system
(University of Waterloo, 2012-04-10)In a roll-to-roll web system lateral motion of a web caused by disturbances, which are often periodic, results in poor product quality. To reduce the effect of such disturbances, two control strategies are applied. First, ... -
Application of the LANS-alpha Model to Gravity Currents
(University of Waterloo, 2019-10-21)This thesis aims to investigate how HERCULES performs when running a lock-exchange gravity current case. The LANS-alpha model with stratification is also tested as a subgrid model in HERCULES using the same gravity current ... -
