Augmenting Basin-Hopping With Techniques From Unsupervised Machine Learning: Applications in Spectroscopy and Ion Mobility
(Frontiers, 2019-08-07)Evolutionary algorithms such as the basin-hopping (BH) algorithm have proven to be useful for difficult non-linear optimization problems with multiple modalities and variables. Applications of these algorithms range from ... -
Author Addendum Conundrum: Reconciling Author Use of Addenda With Publisher Acceptance
(Partnership Association, 2022-01-28)The purpose of this paper is simultaneously to investigate researcher use and awareness of author addenda (e.g., the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition [SPARC] author addendum) and publisher awareness ... -
Autistic traits influence gaze-oriented attention to happy but not fearful faces
(Taylor & Francis, 2015-01-02)The relationship between autistic traits and gaze-oriented attention to fearful and happy faces was investigated at the behavioral and neuronal levels. Upright and inverted dynamic face stimuli were used in a gaze-cueing ... -
Autobiographical memory retrieval and appraisal in social anxiety disorder
(Elsevier, 2018-08-01)Individuals with social anxiety disorder (SADs; n = 41) and healthy controls (HCs; n = 40) were administered the Waterloo Images and Memories Interview, in which they described mental images that they tend to experience ... -
Automated Downloading with Wget
(The Editorial Board of the Programming Historian, 2012-06-27)Wget is a useful program, run through your computer’s command line, for retrieving online material. It can be useful in the following situations: Retrieving or mirroring (creating an exact copy of) an entire website. ... -
Automated Histological Analysis System for Quantifying Microstructural Damage Accumulation to the Annulus Fibrosus
(Kitchener-Waterloo Vision and Imaging Society, 2016)In this paper, we proposed an automated histological analysis system for quantifying microstructural damage accumulation to the annulus fibrosus. This system takes in a digital histology image and uses Gaussian mixture ... -
Automated topology optimisation of hybrid electric vehicle powertrains
(Inderscience publishers, 2015-11-04)Gasoline and electric powertrain components can be connected in numerous configurations to create hybrid powertrains. Owing to the exponential increase of permutations as the number of components increases, a framework to ... -
Automatic estimation of aquifer parameters using long-term water supply pumping and injection records
(Springer, 2016-09-01)Analyses are presented of long-term hydrographs perturbed by variable pumping/injection events in a confined aquifer at a municipal water-supply well field in the Region of Waterloo, Ontario (Canada). Such records are ... -
Automatic feature selection and weighting for the formation of homogeneous groups for regional IDF estimation
(Elsevier, 2019-08)The intensity-duration frequency (IDF) curve has been used as an effective tool to quantify the risk associated with the impact of extreme rainfall on civil infrastructure. However, recent changes in the rainfall climatology ... -
The automatic use of capillary isoelectric focusing with whole column imaging detection for carbamazepine binding to human serum albumin
(Elsevier, 2017-08-05)The binding of the anticonvulsant drug carbamazepine (CBZ) to human serum albumin, both without (dHSA) and in the presence of fatty acids (HSA) was studied in real time by capillary isoelectric focusing with whole column ... -
Automating Big Data Cleaning: An Example Using Local Bibliometric Data
(2017-04-06)The University of Waterloo recognizes bibliometric data as an important piece of evidence-based research assessment, and recommends bibliometric data as one measure, among many, for capturing research productivity trends, ... -
Back to the Future of Postfeminist Film: Hallmark, Netflix, and the ‘New’ Woman’s Holiday Film
(Routledge, 2024)Within the context of shifting dialogues around feminism and women’s roles at work and home, and an increasing recognition of racial and sexual diversity within these conversations, this chapter considers the resurgent ... -
Backscatter in stratified turbulence
(Elsevier, 2016-11)In this paper, kinetic and potential energy transfers around a spectral test fil ter scale in direct numerical simulations of decaying stratified turbulence are studied in both physical and spectral domains. It is shown ... -
Bacteriophage interactions with mammalian tissue: Therapeutic applications
(Elsevier, 2019-05)The human body is a large reservoir for bacterial viruses known as bacteriophages (phages), which participate in dynamic interactions with their bacterial and human hosts that ultimately affect human health. The current ... -
Badges: Abzeichen als sprechende Objekte
