Flora Tristan: Rethinking the Intersection of 19th Century French Women’s Travel Writing and History of Anthropology
(University of Waterloo, 2023-09-21)Flora Tristan was a 19th century French socialist and feminist writer and activist. During her lifetime, Tristan published two works of travel writing, Pérégrinations d'une paria (Tristan 1838a; 1838b) and Promenades ... -
Flow and Sediment Routing in Urban Channels with Flashy Hydrographs
(University of Waterloo, 2023-10-20)Urbanization has a major impact on flow and erosion in open channels. By replacing rural land surfaces with impervious surfaces, urbanization causes a decrease in infiltration and an increase in surface runoff and faster ... -
A Flow Calorimetric Study of Adsorption of Dibenzothiophene, Naphthalene and Quinoline on Zeolites
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-20)The purpose of this work is to develop a reliable procedure for determination of liquid phase heats of adsorption via a flow calorimetric technique. The second objective is to study heats of adsorption of target sulfur ... -
A Flow Cytometry Based Assay for the Quantification of Viruses Using Changes in Infected Cell Granularity
(University of Waterloo, 2015-08-21)A need exists for rapid, low-cost, and accurate infectious viral quantification method in the bio-pharmaceutical field for the production of vaccines and virus-based therapeutics. Two of the most common and traditionally ... -
Flow Cytometry-Assisted Detection of Adenosine in Serum with an Immobilized Aptamer Sensor
(American Chemical Society, 2010-05-15)Aptamers are single-stranded nucleic acids that can selectively bind to essentially any molecule of choice. Because of their high stability, low cost, ease of modification, and availability through selection, aptamers hold ... -
Flow Down a Wavy Inclined Plane
(University of Waterloo, 2011-03-29)Under certain conditions, flow down an inclined plane destabilizes and a persistent series of interfacial waves develop. An interest in determining under what conditions a flow becomes unstable and how the interface ... -
Flow Dynamics and Aeroacoustics of Flow-induced Vibration of Bluff Bodies
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-17)Flow-induced vibration (FIV), a common phenomenon of fluid-structure interaction (FSI), is found everywhere and at all scales in the applications of marine, civil, aeronautical, and power engineering. The study of FIV ... -
Flow in the Vascular System Post Stent Implantation: Examining the Near-Stent Flow Physics to Guide Next-Generation Stent Design
(University of Waterloo, 2014-04-24)The prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) has increased dramatically due in part to the increased rates of obesity in North America. Atherosclerosis, the most prevalent type of CVD, is a progressive disease characterized ... -
Flow Separation on the β-plane
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-15)In non-rotating fluids, boundary-layer separation occurs when the nearly inviscid flow just outside a viscous boundary-layer experiences an appreciable deceleration due to a region of adverse pressure gradient. The fluid ... -
Flow visualization of natural convection in a tall, air-filled vertical cavity
(Elsevier, 2006-03-01)Natural convection of air in a tall vertical cavity was studied using a smoke patterns and interferometry. Experiments covered Rayleigh numbers of 4850 < Ra < 54,800 and aspect ratio A ≈ 40. Secondary cells were noted at ... -
Flow-Induced Vibration of Elastically Mounted Cylinder-Plate Assemblies
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-17)The transverse flow-induced vibration (FIV) of an elastically supported cylinder-plate assembly (viz., a rigid splitter-plate attached to the downstream side of a cylinder) is investigated deeply and systematically in this ... -
Flow-Induced Vibrations of foreign objects inside steam generator’s tube bundle.
(University of Waterloo, 2017-04-20)Flow-induced vibrations of foreign objects were studied experimentally at University of Waterloo’s water flume facility. The main objective of this study was to understand the three-dimensional dynamic response of foreign ... -
Flowable-Electrode Capacitive Deionization for Treatment of Mining Process-Affected Water
(University of Waterloo, 2019-11-26)Water is a critical resource in the mining and resources sector. It enables the extraction and materials processing operations that underpin this primary industry, and therefore everyday life. Water’s value in mining means ... -
Flowing with the River
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-17)Carried by the flow of water, this thesis is a journey into rediscovering the power of the River to animate and give reason to urban life. Its purpose is to create an alternate reality that brings people back to the ... -
Fluctuation correction for the critical transition of symmetric homopolymer blends
(AIP, 2017-07)Monte Carlo simulations are performed on structurally symmetric binary homopolymer blends over a wide range of invariant polymerization indexes, N. A finite-size scaling analysis reveals that certain critical exponents ... -
Fluctuation effects in blends of A+B homopolymers with AB diblock copolymer
(AIP, 2018-05)Field-theoretic simulations (FTS) are performed on ternary blends of A- and B-type homopolymers of polymerization N_h and symmetric AB diblock copolymer of polymerization N_c. Unlike previous studies, our FTS are conducted ... -
Fluid Identities Material Imagination and the Ritual of Water Collection at the Mineral Spring of Sofia
(University of Waterloo, 2011-01-18)How do we build for a specific place and culture in the age of globalization, where the notion of culture has become fluid and drawn from a multiplicity of locations? This thesis argues that rather than relying on ideologies ... -
