On a Categorically Sound Quantum Programming Language for Circuit Description
(2021-08-31)This thesis contains contributions to the mathematical foundations of quantum programming languages. The likely arrival of scalable quantum computers in the not-so-distant future has resulted in a flurry of activity in the ... -
ON A NOVEL METHOD OF INCORPORATING AN INTERNAL STRUCTURE INTO GREEN POWDER METALLURGY COMPACTS USING DIE COMPACTION
(2012-08-09)A novel method of producing die compacted powder metallurgy components with fully en-closed internal structures was developed. The physical characteristics of the compacts were evaluated by measuring bulk density, internal ... -
On Connectedness and Graph Polynomials
(2016-04-08)Given a graph G whose nodes are perfectly reliable and whose edges fail independently with probability q in [0,1], the all-terminal reliability of G is the probability that all vertices of G can communicate with one ... -
On cultural inheritance: Evolution, behaviour and social structure of Eastern Caribbean sperm whales
(2022-08-25)Cultural inheritance is a “second inheritance system” which can affect ecology and evolution in unexpected ways. However, although its implications in humans are recognized and extensively studied, cultural inheritance has ... -
On Demand: Digital Platforms & Class Conflict in the Gig Economy
(2022-08-29)The gig economy represents an ongoing shift in the world of work and can be understood as the most recent attempt by Capital as a class to dominate and undermine the power of workers, collectively known as Labour. Since ... -
ON DEVELOPMENTAL VARIATION IN HIERARCHICAL SYMBIOTIC POLICY SEARCH
(2012-08-27)A hierarchical symbiotic framework for policy search with genetic programming (GP) is evaluated in two control-style temporal sequence learning domains. The symbiotic formulation assumes each policy takes the form of a ... -
On Dominating Sets and the Domination Polynomial
(2021-08-31)A dominating set S of a graph G of order n is a subset of the vertices of G such that every vertex is either in S or adjacent to a vertex of S. The domination polynomial is denoted by D(G,x) is the generating polynomial ... -
On Double Inverse Semigroups
(2013-08-21)A double semigroup is a set equipped with two associative binary operations satisfying the middle-four interchange law. A double inverse semigroup is a double semigroup in which both operations are inverse semigroup ... -
On Holder continuity of weak solutions to degenerate linear elliptic partial differential equations
(2013-08-21)For degenerate elliptic partial differential equations, it is often desirable to show that a weak solution is smooth. The first and most difficult step in this process is establishing local Hölder continuity. Sufficient ... -
On Hopf algebra extensions and cohomologies.
(Dalhousie University, 2002) -
On Improving The Oxidation Resistance Of A Nickel-Based Superalloy Produced By Powder Metallurgy
(2012-08-16)Nickel-based Superalloys are widely used in the steam turbine power generation and aerospace industries. They possess the desirable qualities of high-temperature strength, oxidation and corrosion resistance and can operate ... -
On Increasing the Scope of Genetic Programming Trading Agents
(2020-07-17)This research investigates the potential for widening the scope of Genetic Programming (GP) trading agents beyond constructing decision trees for buy-hold-sell decisions. First, both technical indicators (temporal feature ... -
On Light and Matter: Structural Optics of Biomaterials
(2022-04-12)The wings of a morpho butterfly exhibit a dazzling display of crystalline blue that transforms with viewing angle. The optical properties demonstrated by this improbable blue are produced not by pigment but as a function ... -
On measurably indexed families of Hilbert spaces.
(Dalhousie University, 1992) -
On Models for Detecting Evidence of Molecular Adaptation in Homologous Sequences of Protein Coding Genes
(2019-08-30)Codon substitution models (CSMs) are commonly fitted to alignments of homologous protein-coding sequences with the objective of determining whether sites in the gene underwent positive selection. Under the standard paradigm ... -
On Network Reliability
(2013-06-24)The all terminal reliability of a graph G is the probability that at least a spanning tree is operational, given that vertices are always operational and edges independently operate with probability p in [0,1]. In this ... -
On Northern Hemisphere climate change and variability during the last half of the 20th century.
(Dalhousie University, 2004) -
On simplified predictive control via IP networks.
(Dalhousie University, 2006)
