Migrating Archival Descriptive Records to AtoM: The Good, the Bad and the Yikes
(Archives Association of Ontario, 2020-10)Special Collections & Archives at the University of Waterloo Library began migrating from a series of internal descriptive databases to a public facing instance of AtoM in 2016. This article provides an overview of the ... -
Minimal induced subgraphs of the class of 2-connected non-Hamiltonian wheel-free graphs
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2022-12-29)Given a graph G and a graph property P we say that G is minimal with respect to P if no proper induced subgraph of G has the property P. An HC-obstruction is a minimal 2-connected non-Hamiltonian graph. Given a graph H, a ... -
Minimal induced subgraphs of two classes of 2-connected non-Hamiltonian graphs
(Elsevier, 2022-07)In 1981, Duffus, Gould, and Jacobson showed that every connected graph either has a Hamiltonian path, or contains a claw (K1,3) or a net (a fixed six-vertex graph) as an induced subgraph. This implies that subject to being ... -
Mining the ‘Internet Graveyard’: Rethinking the Historians’ Toolkit
(Journal of the Canadian Historical Association / Revue de la Société historique du Canada, 2013-05-01)“Mining the Internet Graveyard” argues that the advent of massive quantity of born-digital historical sources necessitates a rethinking of the historians’ toolkit. The contours of a third wave of computational history are ... -
Missed connections: looking for everything in the archives
(Active History, 2017-06-26)Archivists are commonly asked by researchers to produce everything available about a particular topic. While understandable from a researcher standpoint, fulfilling the request is a challenge. Unlike library holdings, ... -
Mitigating bias from intermittent measurement of time-dependent covariates in failure time analysis
(Wiley, 2020-06-15)Cox regression models are routinely fitted to examine the association between time-dependent markers and a failure time when analyzing data from clinical registries. Typically, the marker values are measured periodically ... -
Mitigation of Cyber-Physical Attacks in Multi-Area Automatic Generation Control
(Elsevier, 2019-11)In recent years, several cyber-attacks have been recorded against sensitive monitoring systems. Among them is the automatic generation control (AGC) system, a fundamental control system used in all power networks. AGC ... -
Mitigation of Peak Cooling Demand through the Combination of Residential Zoned Cooling and Window Shading: A Building Simulation Case Study
(International Building Performance Simulation Association, 2014-05)The present study expands on previous building simulation work con-cerning the potential benefits of residential zoned cooling systems during peak summer days. Such zoned systems provide an opportunity for peak reduction ... -
A mixture model for bivariate interval-censored failure times with dependent susceptibility
(Springer, 2020-03-07)Interval-censored failure times arise when the status with respect to an event of interest is only determined at intermittent examination times. In settings where there exists a sub-population of individuals who are not ... -
Mobile commerce and device specific perceived risk
(Springer, 2016)This study examines the role of perceived risk and access device type on consumers’ on-line purchase decisions. We use a two-step hurdle approach to estimate consumer behavior. In the first step, the decision of whether ... -
Mobile Device Use in Pharmacy: A Multi-Institutional Study
(The Editorial Board of the Journal of the Canadian Health Libraries Association, 2015)Although there are studies that explore the use of mobile devices by physicians and pharmacists, there has not been a study to date that examines the prevalence and usage patterns of mobile devices amongst pharmacy students ... -
Mode I Traction-Separation Measured Using Rigid Double Cantilever Beam Applied to Structural Adhesive
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-08-06)Adhesive joining facilitates the development of multi-material vehicle structures; however, widespread adoption requires material properties to characterize adhesive joints for implementation in finite element (FE) models. ... -
A model for deceased-donor transplant queue waiting times
(Springer, 2015-01-01)In many jurisdictions, organ allocation is done on the basis of the health status of the patient, either explicitly or implicitly. This paper presents a self-promoting priority queueing model for patient waiting times which ... -
A Model for the Oceanic Mass Balance of Rhenium and Implications for the Extent of Proterozoic Ocean Anoxia
(Elsevier, 2018-04-15)Emerging geochemical evidence suggests that the atmosphere-ocean system underwent a significant decrease in O2 content following the Great Oxidation Event (GOE), leading to a mid-Proterozoic ocean (ca. 2.0–0.8 Ga) with ... -
Model predictive control-based energy management strategy for a series hybrid electric tracked vehicle
(Elsevier, 2016-11-15)The series hybrid electric tracked bulldozer (HETB)’s fuel economy heavily depends on its energy management strategy. This paper presents a model predictive controller (MPC) to solve the energy management problem in an ... -
A model-based approach to predict muscle synergies using optimization: application to feedback control
(Frontiers Media, 2015-10-06)This paper presents a new model-based method to define muscle synergies. Unlike the conventional factorization approach, which extracts synergies from electromyographic data, the proposed method employs a biomechanical ... -
A modeling and experimental study of capacity fade for lithium-ion batteries
(Elsevier, 2020-11)Lithium-ion batteries are extensively used in electric vehicles, however, their significant degradation over discharge and charge cycles results in severe capacity fade, limiting driving ranges of electric vehicles over ... -
Modeling and predicting mobile phone touchscreen transcription typing using an integrated cognitive architecture
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-09-07)Modeling typing performance has values in both the theory and design practice of human-computer interaction. Previous models have simulated desktop keyboard transcription typing performance; however, as the increasing ... -
Modeling and Stabilizability of Voltage-Actuated Piezoelectric Beams with Magnetic Effects
(Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2014-01-01)Models for piezoelectric beams and structures with piezoelectric patches generally ignore magnetic effects. This is because the magnetic energy has a relatively small effect on the overall dynamics. Piezoelectric beam ... -
Modeling congestion and service time in hub location problems
(Elsevier, 2018-03-01)In this paper, we present a modeling framework for hub location problems with a service time limit considering congestion at hubs. Service time is modeled taking the traveling time on the hub network as well as the handling ...
