Galo: guided automated learning for query workload re-optimization
(2018-12-01)Traditional query optimization techniques often fail when logical subtleties in business queries and schemas circumvent them. Query performance problem determination is typically performed manually in consultation with ... -
A game-theoretic model for co-promotions: Choosing a complementary versus an independent product ally
(Elsevier, 2015-07)This paper studies the optimal choice of promotional partners in a three-firm market where two firms sell complementary products and a third firm sells an independent product. Game-theoretic models are developed to investigate ... -
Gendered boomtown impacts: a social service perspective on experiences of women in resource extraction communities
(2019-12-01)The natural resource industry is dynamic, unpredictable, and unconventional. Past research on this industry has examined ‘boomtown impacts’ such has challenges to community cohesion, infrastructure issues, and crime, but ... -
Gendered pathways: family violence as a primary pathway into homelessness for women
(2022-08-01)This thesis analyzes secondary data from a study done on 30 homeless men and women in a region in Southern Ontario to assess the gendering of homeless pathways between each group. Qualitative and quantitative methods were ... -
Generative models for multi-modality image inpainting and resolution enhancement
(2022-04-01)Recently, deep learning methods specifically generative adversarial networks (GANs) have been used to rapidly improve a wide range of image enhancement tasks including image inpainting and image resolution enhancement also ... -
A generic methodology for the three dimensional display of radiation fields
(2010-04-01)The radiation field visualization options available for engineers, scientists and health physicists have traditionally been based in the 2d realm, with techniques such as the generation of isodose curves. From the perspective ... -
Genetic analysis of cellulose crystallization in Gluconacetobacter xylinus
(2015-08-01)In nature, polysaccharides, such as cellulose, are important biopolymers involved in numerous biological functions including prevention of cellular desiccation, energy storage, osmoregulation, and cell wall formation. Apart ... -
Genetic sun shadow positioning model for digital forensics
(2017-11-07)Extensively growing a set of methodologies to collect, provide, and analyze geoinformation in this decade. While due to the privacy concerns or elevated consideration, only less than half of videos and pictures bring ... -
A geophysical and biochemical investigation of buried remains in contrasting soil textures in southern Ontario
(2010-08-01)Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a non-invasive, geophysical tool used for the detection of clandestine graves. GPR operates by detecting density differences in soil by the transmission of high frequency electromagnetic ... -

Gloss positioning for a gaze aware L2 reading aid
(2023-08-01)An important aspect of language learning is reading texts written in the learner’s second language (L2). However, reading can be a daunting task for language learners, as text may contain a large amount of unknown vocabulary. ... -
A graph-based real-time spatial sound framework
(2020-01-01)Given the importance of sound, and our ability to localize sound sources in three-dimensions in the real world, incorporating spatial sound in virtual environments can help increase realism, improve the sense of “presence”, ... -
Graphene and graphane functionalization using hydrogen and nitrogen electronic optical and vibrational signatures
(2011-04-01)Hydrogen is added to Graphene in various compositions and configurations to modify the band structure to produce a suitable band gap for microelectronic applications. Optical and vibrational spectra are calculated as a ... -
