A Dual Pathway Approach for Solving the Spatial Credit Assignment Problem in a Biological Way
(2013-12-05)To survive, many biological organisms need to accurately infer which features of their environment predict future rewards and punishments. In machine learning terms, this is the problem of spatial credit assignment, for ... -
DUAL SEGMENTED AND RECONFIGURABLE APPROXIMATE MULTIPLIERS FOR ERROR-TOLERANT APPLICATIONS
(2021-07-06)Approximate multiplier circuit designs have shown substantial advantages in improving many operational features, such as power, area and delay, in many error-resilient applications such as image processing and deep learning ... -
Dual-energy Stereoscopic X-ray Imaging to Enhance Soft-tissue Contrast in Lung Imaging
(2016-08-11)In this thesis, dual-energy x-ray technique is developed and discussed for a stereoscopic imaging system to enhance soft tissue contrast in lung imaging. The thesis starts with an introduction chapter on general physics ... -
Dub City: Sample, Remix, and the Techno-Urban Graft
(2012-08-13)This thesis looks to techno music, and subsequently to the DJ, as models for a way of understanding urban spatial ecology. In its compositional use of rhythm to create a sense of musical space punctuated by time, the DJ’s ... -
DURABILITY OF PERFORATED GFRP UNDER VARIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS WITH EMPHASIS ON ITS APPLICATION AS A LINER FOR DIRECTIONAL OIL WELLS
(2013-09-03)Directional oil wells provide larger pay-zone (extraction zone) than the conventional vertical wells; they are therefore considered to be more economical means for oil extraction. Customarily, perforated steel pipes, ... -
Duties of a Free Person
(2012-08-29)The following is an attempt to ground personal duty – duty which is both believed and felt by all agents. To do this, I look at two contrasting attempts. The first is a rationalist attempt, which tries to ground it in ... -

Dwelling in Harmony: Mitigating Biodiversity Loss through Ecological Cohabitation
(2023-07-12)Though ecological destruction is not an inherent requirement for human habitation, we often design our homes to the detriment of native species. As the human population continuously increases, as does our need for new ... -
A Dynamic Approach for Visualizing Local and Global Information in Geo-spatial Network Visualizations
(2016-04-29)Geo-spatial network visualization is a fusion of visualization techniques and geographic information science, and has progressed rapidly in recent years. However, challenges still remain regarding the clarity of high density ... -
Dynamic Architecture in the Canadian Arctic
(2019-04-05)This thesis investigates changing conditions in the Canadian Arctic. Reduced yearly sea ice extent due to anthropogenic global climate change has spurred a significant increase in marine traffic within the Canadian Arctic ... -
A Dynamic Asset Allocation Strategy with Macroeconomic Indicators
(2023-04-12)This thesis proposes a novel approach to strategic asset allocation (SAA) that uses macro-econometric factors and a regime-switching regression model to capture systemic risk, which is crucial in setting target allocations ... -
Dynamic Characterization of Tire Derived Aggregates (TDA) and its Application in Civil Engineering
(2024-01-06)The substantial increase of scrap tires worldwide has resulted in the disposal of millions of scrap tires to stockpiles or landfills annually. These stockpiles raise a significant risk to the environment and human ... -
Dynamic Compact Planar Embeddings
(2023-04-28)This thesis presents a way to compactly represent dynamic connected planar embeddings, which may contain self loops and multi-edges, in 4m + o(m) bits, to support basic navigation in O(lg n) time and edge and vertex ... -
