Towards Coevolutionary Genetic Programming with Pareto Archiving Under Streaming Data
(2013-08-16)Classification under streaming data constraints implies that training must be performed continuously, can only access individual exemplars for a short time after they arrive, must adapt to dynamic behaviour over time, and ... -
Towards Current-Mode Analog Implementation of Deep Neural Network Functions
(2021-12-17)This thesis proposes a current-mode analog circuit design that operates in the subthreshold region to implement various Deep Neural Network functions. The implemented circuit blocks include binary weight multiplier ... -
Towards Effective Governance of Marine Geoengineering in West Africa: Aligning With Global and Regional Best Practices
(2023-08-28)The impacts of climate change have compelled humanity to produce innovative ways of counteracting this phenomenon. Marine geoengineering technologies are regarded as an avenue to forestall climate change. However, these ... -
Towards Examining Supervised and Unsupervised Learning for IoT Attack Detection
(2023-04-27)The Internet of Things (IoT) is the term used to describe the numerous physical objects/devices connected to the Internet and collecting and exchanging data globally. IoT devices are especially susceptible to network ... -
Towards Expertise Modeling Using Hierarchical Classification and Wikipedia Knowledge
(2016-12-19)We define expertise modeling as profiling an expert, a knowledgeable person in one or more domains, based on evidence from research articles into one or more research topics. The traditional text classification approach ... -
TOWARDS IN-NETWORK IMAGE CLASSIFICATION FOR LATENCY-CRITICAL IOT APPLICATIONS
(2021-12-13)As the demand for latency-critical applications (intelligent transport systems, medical imaging, surveillance, AR/VR) continues to increase, tasks such as computer vision, which are imperative to these applications, require ... -
Towards Near-Zero Coefficients of Thermal Expansion in A2Mo3O12 Materials
(2012-12-13)The A2Mo3O12 family, where A3+ is a large trivalent cation, can show interesting thermal properties such as negative thermal expansion, also known as thermomiotic behavior, where the overall volume of the material contracts ... -
Towards Sustainable Practices in Pharmaceutical Research and Development: A Life Cycle Approach
(2024-04-05)This project is an environmental impact and cost analysis of commonly used crystallization processes for isolating and purifying active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) at Solid State Pharma Inc., a pharmaceutical research ... -
Towards the Development of a Proteomics Workflow for High-throughput Protein Biomarker Discovery
(2010-06-22)Two popular workflows exist for quantitative proteome analysis: two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE), with staining to visualize proteins, and multidimensional solution phase separations of isotopically ... -
Towards the synthesis of a homochiral bis(dipyrromethene).
(Dalhousie University, 2006) -
Towards the Synthesis of Di- and Tri-Pyrrolic Compounds
(2015)Dipyrrins and prodigiosenes are two classes of pyrrolic compounds. Dipyrrins consist of two pyrrole units linked by a methane bridge and prodigiosenes are a class of pyrrolyldipyrrins (a dipyrrin with a pyrrole substituent) ... -
Towards understanding the prokaryotic contributions to cobalamin cycling in the Northwest Atlantic
(2021-04-07)Cobalamin has the potential to limit primary productivity and shape the structure and ecological interactions of marine microbial communities. The identification of major sources and sinks of this vitamin is needed in order ... -
THE TOWER AND THE FIELD: ADAPTING A MODERNIST BUILDING TYPOLOGY
(2017-04-11)This thesis is an analysis of vertical inhabitation, looking at recent revolutions of the built form, focusing on the modern 20th century residential high-rise as a typology. The towers are a product of theories for mass ... -
The Towns Pier: Using Place Branding to Revitalize St. John’s Harbour Front Through Design
(2023-04-12)The identity of downtown St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador has been lost. Businesses are migrating to other parts of the city; fewer residents frequent the downtown and a security fence blocks the harbour from the ... -
