Sampling Discrete Combinatorial Spaces in Phylogenetics
(2015-04-28)Phylogenetics is the study and identification of evolutionary structure, and phylogeneticists often present evolutionary inferences as leaf-labelled trees. We investigate the combinatorial nature of phylogenetic tree ... -
SAMUEL RINGGOLD WARD’S EXAMINATION DAY: THE EDUCATION OF A BLACK ABOLITIONIST
(2021-04-09)This thesis examines the life of Samuel Ringgold Ward, one of the greatest orators and spokesmen for abolition in the nineteenth century. This work specifically examines how Ward’s early life and education at the New York ... -
Sappho's Aesthetics
(2020-08-31)The lyric poet Sappho wrote her poems in the service of Aphrodite, favouring themes of love and beauty. While scholars have frequently discussed the priority of desire (eros) within her poetry, analysis of beauty qua beauty ... -
Satellite Retrievals of Total Column Water Vapour and Surface Emissivity During Arctic Winter
(2017-10-02)A new water vapour column retrieval using passive microwave satellite measurements is presented for use during the Arctic winter. The retrieval, named PLDC16 (Perro Lesins Duck Cadeddu 2016), uses measurements at the strong ... -
A SCALABLE FRAMEWORK FOR AIS DATA ANALYSIS AND VISUALISATION
(2016-08-04)Maritime traffic data is an important resource to understand vessel activities. Several topics, such as maritime traffic anomaly detection, have been widely studied. With the increase in the number of vessels, location, ... -
Scalable QoS and QoS management models for IP networks.
(Dalhousie University, 2006) -
Scalable real-time OLAP systems for the cloud
(2014-08-18)On-line Analytical processing (OLAP) has been an important approach to the analysis of large structured data warehouse systems for many years. OLAP queries, in contrast to On-line Transaction Processing (OLTP) queries that ... -
Scale-based Exploded Views: Evaluating Object Selection Methods on Mobile Devices
(2014-08-18)Many 3D exploded view diagrams are too expensive for use on relatively low powered mobile devices, particularly for large models. In this thesis, we evaluate a low-complexity scale-based 3D exploded view method that is ... -
Scaling Genetic Programming to Challenging Reinforcement Tasks through Emergent Modularity
(2018-06-21)Algorithms that learn through environmental interaction and delayed rewards, or reinforcement learning, increasingly face the challenge of scaling to dynamic, high-dimensional environments. Video games model these types ... -
Scaling Limits for Partial Sums of Power Series
(2016-08-11)In this thesis it will be shown that the partial sums of the Maclaurin series for a certain class of entire functions possess scaling limits in various directions in the complex plane. In doing so we obtain information ... -
Scaling of Mixing in Stirred Tank Crystallization Reactors
(2023-03-08)A solver was developed in OpenFOAM to simulate fluid dynamics and competitive-parallel reactions in stirred tank crystallization reactors. The model uses the direct quadrature method of moments (DQMOM) coupled with the ... -
Scaling up to food webs: Effects of temperature on structure and function along a latitudinal gradient
(2010-09-09)Global warming will affect every level of biological organization from the metabolism of individuals to the functioning of ecosystems. I explored the effects of warming on three rock-pool meioinvertebrate communities along ... -
Scan Context 3D Lidar Inertial Odometry via Iterated ESKF and Incremental K-Dimensional Tree
(2022-07-12)This thesis focused on a 3D lidar inertial odometry algorithm framework that improves the Lightweight and ground optimized lidar odometry and mapping (LeGO-LOAM) by constructing a new back-end optimization algorithm. In ... -
Scar Tissue: Stitching the Divide - Reintegrating Beirut's Central District Into Public Life
(2016-08-22)This thesis examines the role of ruins and memory in triggering public ownership, and using them as a setting for programs that encourage inclusion, reconciliation, and interaction between different sectarian and social ... -
SCARRING THE LANDSCAPE: DESIGNING FOR A FIRE PRONE REGION, KELOWNA, B.C.
(2011-08-25)This thesis explores architectural and design principles for fire-prone regions. A number of these principles are identified and developed in the design of a recreational infrastructure for Kelowna, British Columbia, ... -
