Femtosecond Laser Joining of Silver Submicron/Nanoparticles
(University of Waterloo, 2015-08-06)The development of future devices is towards to the miniaturization and performance improvement. This requires the large scale integration of nanodevices. Nanojoining is an essential step for the industrial scale production ... -
Femtosecond Time-Resolved Studies on the Reaction Pathways for the Generation of Reactive Oxygen Species in Photodynamic Therapy by Indocyanine Green
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-12)Photodynamic therapy (PDT), which utilizes the combination of light and a photosensitizing drug to cause tissue damages, has emerged as a novel clinical approach for the treatment of numerous cancers, as well as some other ... -
Fen restoration on a bog cut down to sedge peat: A hydrological assessment of rewetting and the impact of a subsurface gyttja layer
(University of Waterloo, 2013-02-22)Vacuum harvested peatlands do not easily regain their hydrological function after peat production therefore restoration is required to create hydrological conditions appropriate for the growth of peat producing fen plant ... -
The Fence Complexity of Persistent Sets
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-21)This thesis studies fence complexity of concurrent sets in a non-volatile shared memory model. I consider the case where CPU registers and cache memory remain volatile while main memory is non-volatile. Flush instructions ... -
Fermentation of Food Waste in a Leach Bed Reactor- Effects of pH and Inoculum to Substrate Ratio
(University of Waterloo, 2018-12-19)A more sustainable method for the treatment of accumulated food waste, instead of landfilling, is in urgently need. Fermentation is one of the most promising waste-to-energy technologies for energy recovery from food waste. ... -
Fermentation study of metabolically engineered Escherichia coli strains for high-level 1-propanol production
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-29)As the current global energy requirements are mainly met through the combustion of petroleum, coal, and natural gas, concerns over the global warming and the sustainability of the future exploitation of fossil fuels are ... -
Fermion Doubling in Loop Quantum Gravity
(University of Waterloo, 2015)For the last 20 years, it has been known how to couple matter to the theory of loop quantum gravity. However, one of the most simple questions that can be asked about this framework has not been addressed; is there a fermion ... -
Fertile Grounds: Cultivating an Identity Through Architecture
(University of Waterloo, 2012-05-01)This thesis explores the contributive role of architecture to the prosperity of a place. The research addresses the challenges and opportunities that rural regions face today by analyzing the general factors of marginalized ... -
Few Hole Quantum Dots in a Gated GaAs/AlGaAs Heterostructure
(University of Waterloo, 2019-06-24)This thesis presents a set of experiments that explore gate de ned hole quantum dots in the GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure. These experiments explore the evolution of the quantum states of holes in a double quantum dot. The ... -
Few-Cycle Laser Pulse Generation and Characterization for Coulomb Explosion Imaging of Molecules
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-22)Ultrashort pulses can induce coulomb explosions of molecules through which ionic fragments receive substantial momentum. These momenta, measured in coincidence, carry information about the molecule's initial geometry. ... -
A Feynman Path Centroid Effective Potential Approach for the Study of Low Temperature Parahydrogen Clusters and Droplets
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-20)The quantum simulation of large molecular systems is a formidable task. We explore the use of effective potentials based on the Feynman path centroid variable in order to simulate large quantum clusters at a reduced ... -
Fiber Birefringence Modeling for Polarization Mode Dispersion
(University of Waterloo, 2007-01-17)This thesis concerns polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in optical fiber communications. Specifically, we study fiber birefringence, PMD stochastic properties, PMD mitigation and the interaction of fiber birefringence ... -
Fiber Laser Welding of Advanced High Strength Steels
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-01)Fiber laser welding (FLW) was used to join advanced high strength steel (AHSS) and high strength steel (HSS); specifically two dual-phase (DP) steels, with ultimate tensile strengths above 980 MPa and with different ... -
Fiber Optic Sensor for In-Situ State-of-Charge Monitoring for Lithium-Ion Batteries
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-13)The objective of this thesis is to develop a fiber optic sensor for in-situ measurement of the optical properties of Li-ion batteries for the purpose of state-of-charge (SOC) estimation. Current methods rely on measuring ... -

Ficino's Efforts to Reunite Philosophy and Religion
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-12)Marsilio Ficino (1433 to 1499) was the first Renaissance philosopher to have access to the full Platonic corpus. He desired to use these ancient writings, plus faith, scripture, and reason to reunite religion and philosophy ... -
The Fictional and The Real
(University of Waterloo, 2011-01-19)The impetus of this thesis arose from an unfound text and the unsatisfied questions regarding the profession of architecture when I first entered the school. What exactly is an architect? What exactly does an architect do? ... -
Fictitious Mean-field Reinforcement Learning for Distributed Load Balancing
