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, ... -
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
(De Gruyter, 2017-05)This article presents early findings regarding the interplay between script (text) and image on medieval badges, which are small, brooch-like objects made from lead-tin alloy (pewter) and adorned with familiar images drawn ... -
BanditFuzz: Fuzzing SMT Solvers with Reinforcement Learning
(2020)Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) solvers are fundamental tools in the broad context of software engineering and security research. If SMT solvers are to continue to have an impact, it is imperative we develop efficient ... -
Barriers to the Management of Heart Failure in ON Long Term Care Homes: An Interprofessional Care Perspective

A battery hardware-in-the-loop setup for concurrent design and evaluation of real-time optimal HEV power management controllers
(Inderscience publishers, 2013-11-03)We have developed a battery hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) setup, which can expedite the design and evaluation of power management controllers for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) in a novel cost- and time-effective manner. The ... -
Bayesian Filtering of Surface EMG for Accurate Simultaneous and Proportional Prosthetic Control
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2016-12-01)The amplitude of the surface EMG (sEMG) is commonly estimated by rectification or other nonlinear transformations, followed by smoothing (low-pass linear filtering). Although computationally efficient, this approach leads ... -
Beam Me 'Round, Scotty! II: Reflections on Transforming Research Goals into Gameplay Mechanics
(ACM, 2018-10-23)We reflect on the design, implementation, and testing of the experimental testbed game Beam Me 'Round, Scotty! II and the numerous design lessons learned in transitioning theoretical research questions about social presence ... -
Behavior Change Techniques Present in Wearable Activity Trackers: A Critical Analysis
(JMIR mHealth and uHealth, 2016-04-27)Background: Wearable activity trackers are promising as interventions that offer guidance and support for increasing physical activity and health-focused tracking. Most adults do not meet their recommended daily activity ... -
Behaviour of apatite during partial melting of metapelites and consequences for prograde suprasolidus monazite growth
(Elsevier, 2017-03-01)The suprasolidus behaviour of apatite and monazite is examined for an average metapelite composition using phase equilibria modelling coupled with solubility equations of these minerals. Both closed- and open-system scenarios ... -
