Guided Cultural Evolution and Sustainable Development: Proof of Concept and Exploratory Results
(University of Waterloo, 2021-02-25)This dissertation innovatively uses Cross-Impact Balances (CIB) to study how societal cultures evolve, and how societies might steer the evolution of their cultures towards sustainability. Societal cultures have been ... -
Guided Testing of Concurrent Programs Using Value Schedules
(University of Waterloo, 2009-09-29)Testing concurrent programs remains a difficult task due to the non-deterministic nature of concurrent execution. Many approaches have been proposed to tackle the complexity of uncovering potential concurrency bugs. ... -
Guided vasculogenic sprouting induced by the immobilized fusion construct CaM-VEGF120
(University of Waterloo, 2012-05-23)This project is intended to utilize an immobilized bio-active first generation fusion constructed cytokine inducing in receptive cell lines guided vasculogenic development. This research through the assembly, expression ... -
Guided-Wave Superconducting Quantum Optoelectronic Devices
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-27)This thesis investigates a novel optoelectronic platform based on the integration of superconductive structures, such as thin films and micro-constrictions, with optical waveguides for ultra-fast and ultra-sensitive ... -
Guiding our interpretation of quantum theory by principles of causation and inference
(University of Waterloo, 2021-07-07)A key aim of quantum foundations is to characterize the sense in which nature goes beyond classical physics. Understanding nonclassicality is one of our best avenues towards finding a satisfactory interpretation of quantum ... -
Guiding the Grand: Journeying into the Grand River's Diverse Histories
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-20)The Grand River is a dynamic force that acts on and within the landscape of its watershed. Through the course of an eleven-thousand-year relationship with humanity, its identity has evolved most dramatically in the last ... -
Gully Mapping using Remote Sensing: Case Study in Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa
(University of Waterloo, 2009-01-21)At present one of the challenges of soil erosion research in South Africa is the limited information on the location of gullies. This is because traditional techniques for mapping erosion which consists of the manual ... -
Gypsum Wallboard: A Study Examining Wallboard Waste Management Options for Southern Ontario
(University of Waterloo, 2009-07-23)In 2005, the Recycling Council of Ontario published a report that identified the construction industry as one sector that did not manage its waste in an environmentally appropriate manner. In this report, Let’s Climb ... -
¹H MAS NMR Spectral Coalescence of Water and Hydroxyl Resonances in MCM-41
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-01)Solid state ¹H MAS NMR spectroscopy was used to investigate the temperature and hydration dependance of water and hydroxyl proton spectra of hydrated mesoporous MCM-41. The NMR spectra show a complex peak structure, with ... -
H(div)-conforming Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Multiphase Flow
(University of Waterloo, 2021-05-05)Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is concerned with numerically solving and visualizing complex problems involving fluids with numerous engineering applications. Mathematical models are derived from basic governing ... -
H-colouring Pt-free graphs in subexponential time
(Elsevier, 2019-08-31)A graph is called Pt-free if it does not contain the path on t vertices as an induced subgraph. Let H be a multigraph with the property that any two distinct vertices share at most one common neighbour. We show that the ... -
H-Infinity Performance Limitations for Problems with Sensor Time Delays
(University of Waterloo, 2008-01-23)Motivated by ongoing research into automating radiotherapy, this thesis is concerned with linear feedback control and estimation problems where only a delayed output signal is measurable. Various discrete-time performance ... -
H-∞ optimal actuator location
(University of Waterloo, 2012-05-17)There is often freedom in choosing the location of actuators on systems governed by partial differential equations. The actuator locations should be selected in order to optimize the performance criterion of interest. ... -
H2-Optimal Sensor Location
(University of Waterloo, 2014-06-24)Optimal sensor placement is an important problem with many applications; placing thermostats in rooms, installing pressure sensors in chemical columns or attaching vibration detection devices to structures are just a few ... -
Habitat use of young-of-year Arctic Grayling (Thymallus arcticus) in Barrenland streams of central Nunavut, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2020-06-01)Arctic Grayling, a species within the family Salmonidae that is valued by sport fishers and Indigenous communities, is distributed throughout a diversity of northern landscapes. While Arctic Grayling are known to be sensitive ... -
Hack: Reclaiming the Commons
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-03)Architecture is an act of agency, and a technology that can be learned by anyone for their own purpose. It evolved as a system of organization and a protective shell for our fragile bodies, a vast, complex technology that ... -
