MacLane's Theorem for Graph-Like Spaces
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-12)The cycle space of a finite graph is the subspace of the edge space generated by the edge sets of cycles, and is a well-studied object in graph theory. Recently progress has been made towards extending the theory of cycle ... -
Macro-Prudential Implications of Sustainability Policies in the Banking Sector
(University of Waterloo, 2020-06-02)Sustainability related issues, such as inequality, water security, and climate risk, represent a significant concern for many individuals and organizations, threatening the stability of the world's markets, including the ... -
Macropore flow and transport dynamics in partially saturated low permeability soils
(University of Waterloo, 2007-12-11)Near-surface sediments play an important role in governing the movement of water and contaminants from the land surface through the vadose zone to groundwater. Generally, low permeability surficial soils restrict water ... -
The mad manifesto
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-15)The “mad manifesto” project is a multidisciplinary mediated investigation into the circumstances by which mad (mentally ill, neurodivergent) or disabled (disclosed, undisclosed) students faced far more precarious circumstances ... -
Maelström
(University of Waterloo, 2009-09-10)The Lofoten Maelström in Norway, one of the world’s most powerful systems of tidal eddies, has been a locus of terror and imagination for centuries. First depicted in renaissance cartography, the myth of the vortex was ... -
Magical Activism
(University of Waterloo, 2012-06-08)Lack of knowledge about the lived experience of leisure is a result of the distanced, objective way in which it has primarily been studied (Hemingway, 1999), and there is an increased interest in conceptualizing leisure ... -
Magnesium for biomedical applications as degradable implants: thermomechanical processing and surface functionalization of a Mg-Ca alloy
