Simulation of Soot Formation in Turbulent Diffusion Flames Using Conditional Source-term Estimation
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-19)Conditional Source-term Estimation (CSE) is a turbulent combustion model which uses the conditional averages of scalars for calculating the mean reaction source term in the species transport equation. CSE has been shown ... -
Pathways to Social-Ecological Viability for Mangrove Dependent Small-Scale Fisheries in the Bangladesh Sundarbans
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-19)It is well described in the literature that mangrove-dependent small-scale fisheries (MDSSF) are increasingly vulnerable to drivers of change. However, the survivability of many MDSSF communities indicates that there are ... -
MT-MAG: Accurate and interpretable machine learning for complete or partial taxonomic assignments of metagenome-assembled genomes
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-19)We propose MT-MAG, a novel machine learning-based software tool for the complete or partial hierarchically-structured taxonomic classification of metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs). MT-MAG is capable of classifying large ... -
Phenotypic Characterization of the Male Tafazzin-Knockout Mouse Model of Barth Syndrome at 3-, 6-, and 12-Months of Age
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-18)Barth Syndrome (BTHS) is a devastating disorder caused by mutations in the gene encoding for Tafazzin (TAZ), a key enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of the phospholipid cardiolipin, which is vital for maintaining the ... -
Examining the Effect of Parvalbumin Overexpression on the Development of Centronuclear Myopathy in Phospholamban Overexpressing Mice
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-18)Within the myofibre, the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) has an essential role in regulating intracellular Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i) by pumping Ca2+ into the SR. There are several known regulators ... -
Asynchronous Optical Flow and Egomotion Estimation from Address Events Sensors
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-18)Motion estimation is considered essential for many applications such as robotics, automation, and augmented reality to name a few. All cheap and low cost sensors which are commonly used for motion estimation have many ... -
Integration of a Self-Powered Sensor and Electronics to Produce a Battery-Free, Wireless, Water Leak Detection Device
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-18)Water damage accounts for 73% by dollars lost in commercial real estate claims [1]. Water leak detectors are a key solution to the problem but suffer from numerous drawbacks, namely high costs, lack of scalability, and ... -
An Intersectional Colour-Blind Frame Analysis of Sports News Coverage on Athlete Activism in the WNBA, NBA, and NHL Following the Shooting of Jacob Blake
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-17)Despite Black women leading the way in athlete activism, there is little research and discussion on their experiences doing so. With the rapid progression of athlete activism in sport, it is important to understand the ... -
The White House, and Other Counter-Narratives from the Lockdown
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-17)Contemporary emplacement demands movement, whether through migration, travel, or transcultural exchange. Identity, as positioned by the postcolonial writer Édouard Glissant, is linked fundamentally with change and contact ... -
Borrowers and Bullies
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-17)Borrowers and Bullies is an exhibition of sculpture, installation, and video. I was highly impacted throughout the making of this work by the Covid-19 pandemic, which began immediately preceding my acceptance into the UW ... -

RRAM in High-speed TCAM Design and Its Applications with New Switching Materials
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-17)With the continuous scaling of transistor devices reaching their physical limits, emerging non-volatile memory (eNVM) devices such as resistive random-access memory (RRAM) is considered one of the alternatives to maintain ... -
Tissue Pattern Detection in Whole Slide Images Using You-Only-Look-Once Approach
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-17)Analyzing digital pathology images is required for diagnostic conclusions by investigating tissue patterns and morphology. However, because of the large size of the whole slide images, manual evaluation can be time-consuming, ... -
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 ... -
Dispersing representations of semi-simple subalgebras of complex matrices
(Elsevier, 2022-06-01)In this paper we consider the problem of determining the maximum dimension of P?(A!B)P, where A and B are unital, semi-simple subalgebras of the set Mn of n⇥n complex matrices, and P 2 M2n is a projection of rank n. We ... -
Comprehensive Repetitive Scheduling for Linear and Scattered Infrastructure Projects
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-16)The majority of civil infrastructure projects involve activities that are repeated across a number of units (e.g., linear highway sections; or scattered multi-bridge repairs). While repetition represents a potential for ... -
Non-Invasive Blood Glucose Monitoring Using Electromagnetic Sensors
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-16)Monitoring glycemia levels in people with diabetes has developed rapidly over the last decade. A broad range of easy-to-use systems of reliable accuracies are now deployed in the market following the introduction of the ... -
Mathematical Modeling of Kidney Function During Pregnancy
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-16)During pregnancy major adaptations must occur in the maternal body to be able to support the rapidly developing fetus and placenta. Adaptations occur in almost all tissues and organs. These changes are dynamic, complex, ... -
