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, ... -

A SCENARIO-BASED TRUST MANAGEMENT APPROACH WITH 3R MESSAGE CATEGORIZATION IN VANETS
(2021-03-11)With the recent advancements in vehicular communications, there has been tremendous growth in the applications supported by Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs). To realize the primary objective of the Intelligent Transportation ... -
Scholar and Practitioner Views on Science in Environmental Assessment
(2018-04-05)This study investigated the views of environmental assessment (EA) scholars and practitioners on science in EA. Fifty-six online survey responses were received, including 35 scholars and 21 practitioners; thirteen practitioners ... -
Scholars of the needle: Halifax's African School, needlework and the recouping of identity
(2022-08-30)This thesis examines the history of African Nova Scotian school children by investigating the instruction they received at segregated schools established by the British religious society The Associates of the Late Reverend ... -
SCHOLARS’ INTERACTIONS ON TWITTER: A CASE STUDY ON OCEAN RESEARCHERS’ CONFERENCE PARTICIPATION
(2021-04-01)Twitter is a robust tool with which to analyze conference participation for increasing visibility, measuring public engagement, and other scholarly activities. This paper offers an overview of conference participation by ... -
School culture: deciphering some basic cultural assumptions operating in a school in Zimbabwe
(1995)Culture, defined as basic assumptions, undergirds values and governs behaviour. This study deciphered some basic assumptions operating in a school in Zimbabwe using Schein"s method of observation, interviews and "joint ... -
School Fees and Primary Education in Sub-Saharan Africa, 1970-2011
(2011-09-06)Education broadens the life choices and capabilities of those who receive it, and confers external benefits to society as a whole. In sub-Saharan Africa, a major issue concerning school attendance among the poor has been ... -
SCIENCE FICTION THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS IN BIOETHICS
(2012-12-19)Science fiction is particularly apt as bioethical thought experiment. In considering the theories of James R. Brown, John D. Norton and Marco Buzzoni, I suggest that mental-modeling theories afford the best explanation for ... -
Science on Law's Terms: Implications of Procedural Legitimacy on Scientific Evidence
(2012-08-20)Scientific evidence is increasingly relied on in litigation. Discussions and debates aimed at enabling courts to make the best use scientific evidence are therefore critical. This thesis adds the perspective of procedural ...
