Heterostructure development and quantum control for semiconductor qubits
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-04)States of confined electrons in semiconductors are promising candidates for quantum bits with high controllability, scalability, and coherence. Particularly, spin quantum dots offer direct integration with the modern MOS ... -
Heterothermy, body size, and locomotion as ecological predictors of migration in mammals
(Wiley, 2022-01)Migration is ubiquitous among animals and has evolved repeatedly and independently. Comparative studies of the evolutionary origins of migration in birds are widespread, but are lacking in mammals. Mammalian species have ... -
Heterotopia of Spectacles: Toronto International Film Festival in the Entertainment District
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-22)The Toronto International Film Festival Group (tiff.) is the latest addition to an existing array of spectacles offered in Entertainment District of Toronto. Spectacles remove us from reality, surprise us, connect us with ... -
Heuristic Evaluation for Gameful Design
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2016-10-16)Despite the emergence of many gameful design methods in the literature, there is a lack of evaluation methods specific to gameful design. To address this gap, we present a new set of guidelines for heuristic evaluation of ... -
Heuristic Search Strategy for Transforming Microstructural Patterns to Optimal Copolymerization Recipes
(Wiley, 2018-03-12)Manipulation and optimization of copolymer microstructure for tailoring final properties is of great importance in macromolecular science and engineering. Uncovering the complexities of the interrelationships between ... -
Hg2+ detection using a phosphorothioate RNA probe adsorbed on graphene oxide and a comparison with thymine-rich DNA
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-06-21)Mercury is a highly toxic heavy metal and many DNA-based biosensors have been recently developed for Hg2+ detection in water. Among them, thymine-rich DNA is the most commonly used for designing Hg2+ sensors. However, the ... -
The Hidden Cost of Hiding Feelings: Emotion Suppression and Inauthenticity in Social Anxiety
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-26)Social anxiety is associated with an unusually high level of negative affect, yet little is known about the strategies used by socially anxious individuals to manage and regulate their emotions. The present research examined ... -
