A Multiprocessor Platform Based on FPGA Technology Targeted for a Driver Vigilance Monitoring Device
(University of Waterloo, 2009-04-30)Medical devices processing images or audio or executing complex AI algorithms are able to run more efficiently and meet real time requirements if the parallelism in those algorithms is exploited. In this research a methodology ... -
Multipurpose Image Quality Assessment for Both Human and Computer Vision Systems via Convolutional Neural Network
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-07)Computer vision algorithms have been widely used for many applications, including traffic monitoring, autonomous driving, robot path planning and navigation, object detection and medical image analysis, etc. Images and ... -
Multireference equation of motion coupled cluster benchmark study of magnetic model systems
(Elsevier, 2018-04-15)The multireference equation of motion coupled cluster (MREOM-CC) approach including spin-orbit coupling is applied to magnetic model systems FArO, FArOF and FArFOH, and compared to benchmark multireference Configuration ... -
Multireference Equation of Motion Coupled Cluster Study of Atomic Excitation Apectra
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-21)Variants of the family of the recently developed Multireference Equation of Motion Coupled Cluster (MR-EOM-CC) approaches are applied to the atomic excitation spectra of the first-row transition metals, for which experimental ... -
Multiscale GARCH Modeling and Inference
(University of Waterloo, 2018-10-11)The motivation behind this thesis is the shortage of formal statistical inference methods in the literature for testing whether a time series model is consistent with a sample at multiple sampling frequencies simultaneously. ... -
Multiscale Methods in Image Modelling and Image Processing
(University of Waterloo, 2005)The field of modelling and processing of 'images' has fairly recently become important, even crucial, to areas of science, medicine, and engineering. The inevitable explosion of imaging modalities and approaches ... -
Multiscale modeling in mathematical programming: Application of Clustering
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-18)Integration across decision levels of a supply chain is a key point in improving returns on investment. For example, planning and scheduling are usually carried out separately although they are interdependent of each other. ... -
Multiscale Modeling of Amphibian Neurulation
(University of Waterloo, 2007-10-23)This thesis presents a whole-embryo finite element model of neurulation -- the first of its kind. An advanced, multiscale finite element approach is used to capture the mechanical interactions that occur across cellular, ... -
Multiscale modelling of snow depth over an agricultural field in a small catchement in southern ontario, canada.
(University of Waterloo, 2011-05-20)Snow is a common overlying surface during winter-time and the redistribution of snow by wind is a very important concept for any hydrological research project located within the cryosphere. Wind redistributes snow by eroding ... -
Multiscale Modelling of Structural Transformation in Metal Nanocatalysts for CO2 Electroreduction
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-12)The precise control of nanostructure and surface atomic arrangement can be used to tune the electrocatalytic properties of materials and improve their performance. Unfortunately, the long-term structural stability of ... -
Multiscale models of kidney function and diseases
(Elsevier, 2019-09)The kidney is a complex system whose function is the result of synergistic operations among a number of biological processes. The spatial and functional scales of those processes span a wide range. To interrogate kidney ... -
Multiscale Pore Network Modeling of Hierarchical Media with Applications to Improved Oil and Gas Recovery
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-10)For complex geological materials such as carbonates and tight sandstones having pores at several scales, the conventional relationships are not adequate to quantify transport properties. Therefore, it becomes important to ... -
Multiscale Simulation of CO2 Reduction in Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells
(University of Waterloo, 2020-12-10)Electrochemical CO2 reduction in solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) is a promising technology to address the global issue of greenhouse emissions. SOEC operates at high temperatures (>873K), possessing high energy ... -
Multisensory attention training for treatment of tinnitus
(Springer Nature, 2015-05-28)Tinnitus is the conscious perception of sound with no physical sound source. Some models of tinnitus pathophysiology suggest that networks associated with attention, memory, distress and multisensory experience are involved ... -
Multisensory Integrative Processes and Aging
(University of Waterloo, 2022-10-04)Our sensory systems provide us with distinct impressions of our surroundings which are critical for perception, cognitive processing, and control of action. Indeed, input from multiple sensory stimuli compared to a single ... -
Multispectral segmentation of magnetic resonance images of the human brain

A Multistage Stochastic Mixed-Integer Model for Perishable Capacity Expansion Problem
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-19)We study a multi-stage capacity expansion problem under demand uncertainty. We consider the problem where there are multiple resources to be expanded at each stage. Moreover, the resources have limited life time after ... -
Multistate analysis from cross-sectional and auxiliary samples
(Wiley, 2020-02-20)Epidemiological studies routinely involve cross‐sectional sampling of a population comprised of individuals progressing through life history processes. We consider features of a cross‐sectional sample in terms of the ... -
A Multistate Model for Bivariate Interval-Censored Failure Time Data
(Wiley, 2008-12)Interval-censored life-history data arise when the events of interest are only detectable at periodic assessments. When interest lies in the occurrence of two such events, bivariate-interval censored event time data are ... -
