    • Aspects et portée dialogiques de l'écriture romanesque (1994-2010) de Michel Houellebecq 

      Chékété, Godrick Hospice Houédoté (University of Waterloo, 2015-11-30)
      Ma thèse porte sur l’esthétique et l’idéologie dans l’œuvre romanesque de Michel Houellebecq en me fondant principalement sur la notion barthienne du plaisir et celle du dialogisme bakhtinien pour faire ressortir la ...
    • Aspects of Anomaly in Condensed Matter Physics 

      Ye, Weicheng (University of Waterloo, 2023-05-30)
      Anomalies have proven to be an important tool for unraveling the enigmatic properties of strongly-coupled condensed matter systems. Especially, it provides powerful constraints on the emergibility problem, i.e., whether a ...
    • Aspects of Corneal Fluorescein Staining 

      Woods, Jill (University of Waterloo, 2019-04-25)
      PURPOSE Evaluating the cornea for epithelial fluorescein staining is a key element of the ocular examination of contact lens wearers and people with dry eye disease. It has long been viewed as a method of visualizing a ...
    • Aspects of Dynamic Anterior Surface Aberrations 

      Jayakumar, Varadharajan (University of Waterloo, 2014-01-07)
      Introduction: The measurement of tear film stability/regularity is very critical in the diagnosis of dry eye. The tear breakup time, which is used as a diagnostic tool in diagnosing dry eye, is very subjective in nature ...
    • Aspects of Metric Spaces in Computation 

      Skala, Matthew Adam (University of Waterloo, 2008-06-06)
      Metric spaces, which generalise the properties of commonly-encountered physical and abstract spaces into a mathematical framework, frequently occur in computer science applications. Three major kinds of questions about ...
    • Aspects of Nonlocality: from Particles to Black Holes 

      Saravani, Mehdi (University of Waterloo, 2016-05-06)
      This dissertation is a collection of works on different aspects of the following subjects: causal set--continuum correspondence, wave propagation on causal sets, nonlocal quantum field theory, potential connection between ...
    • Aspects of Polymer Chain Dynamics in Solution Studied by Fluorescence 

      Ingratta, Mark (University of Waterloo, 2008-04-14)
      Several pyrene-labeled polymers and polypeptides were synthesized and their chain dynamics were characterized using steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence techniques. Firstly, four series of pyrene-labeled polystyrenes ...
    • Aspects of Quantum Field Theory in Enumerative Graph Theory 

      Yusim, Samuel (University of Waterloo, 2022-10-24)
      While a quantum field theorist has many uses for mathematics of all kinds, the relationship between quantum field theory and mathematics is far too fluid in the world of modern research to be described as the simple provision ...
    • Aspects of Quantum Field Theory with Boundary Conditions 

      Tjoa, Erickson (University of Waterloo, 2019-08-02)
      This thesis has two modest goals. The primary goal is to deliver three results involving particle detectors interacting with a quantum field in presence of non-trivial boundary conditions (Dirichlet, Neumann, periodic; ...
    • Aspects of Quantum Information and AdS/CFT Duality 

      Al Balushi, Abdulrahim (University of Waterloo, 2021-05-17)
      This thesis considers four different aspects of quantum information, AdS/CFT duality, and the interplay between them. First, we study the holographic complexity conjectures in detail for rotating black holes. We focus ...
    • Aspects of Scattering Amplitudes and Moduli Space Localization 

      Mizera, Sebastian (University of Waterloo, 2019-08-19)
      We propose that intersection numbers of certain cohomology classes on the moduli space of genus-zero Riemann surfaces with $n$ punctures, $\mathcal{M}_{0,n}$, compute tree-level scattering amplitudes in quantum field ...
    • Assembly of an Ionic-Complementary Peptide on Surfaces and its Potential Applications 

      Yang, Hong (University of Waterloo, 2007-09-25)
      Self-assembling peptides have emerged as new nanobiomaterials and received considerable attention in the areas of nanoscience and biomedical engineering. In this category are ionic-complementary peptides, which contain a ...
    • Assembly of DNA-Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles with Gaps and Overhangs in Linker DNA 

      Smith, Brendan D.; Dave, Neeshma; Huang, Po-Jung Jimmy; Liu, Juewen (American Chemical Society, 2011-04-28)
      DNA-directed assembly of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has been extensively studied because of its important applications in analytical chemistry, materials science, and nanomedicine. In a typical system, two DNA-functionalized ...
    • Assembly of DNA-Functionalized Nanoparticles in Alcoholic Solvents Reveals Opposite Thermodynamic and Kinetic Trends for DNA Hybridization 

      Smith, Brendan D.; Liu, Juewen (American Chemical Society, 2010-05-12)
      DNA has been a key molecule in biotechnology and nanotechnology. To date, the majority of the experiments involving DNA have been performed in aqueous solutions, which may be related to the perception that DNA hybridization ...
    • Assembly: A Revaluation of Public Space in Toronto 

      Kenniff, Thomas-Bernard (University of Waterloo, 2005)
      This thesis focuses on the problem of defining and designing public space in contemporary mass society. "Assembly" revaluates a cultural understanding of public space as the space of regulation, consumption and leisure, ...
    • Assessing a binary measurement system: A new plan using targeted verification with conditional sampling and baseline information 

      Severn, Daniel Ernest; Steiner, Stefan H.; MacKay, R. Jock (Elsevier, 2019-11)
      We investigate efficient plans to assess the misclassification error rates of a binary measurement system used as an in-line inspection protocol. We assume that parts can be inspected repeatedly and that each part has its ...
    • Assessing Au-Al Wire Bond Reliability Using Integrated Stress Sensors 

      McCracken, Michael (University of Waterloo, 2010-04-30)
      Wire bond reliability testing typically consists of aging bonds in a high temperature environment for long time periods, and removing samples at intervals to assess bond shear strength and characterize the bond cross ...
    • Assessing Binary Measurement Systems 

      Danila, Oana Mihaela (University of Waterloo, 2012-01-19)
      Binary measurement systems (BMS) are widely used in both manufacturing industry and medicine. In industry, a BMS is often used to measure various characteristics of parts and then classify them as pass or fail, according ...
    • Assessing Binary Measurement Systems Using Targeted Verification with a Gold Standard 

      Severn, Daniel Ernest (University of Waterloo, 2017-05-19)
      Binary Measurement Systems (BMS) are used to classify objects into two categories. Sometimes the categories represent some intrinsically dichotomous characteristic of the object, but sometimes continuous or even multidimensional ...
    • Assessing Consistency of Scenarios Across Scales Developing globally linked internally consistent scenarios under the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways framework 

      Kurniawan, Jude Herijadi (University of Waterloo, 2020-07-02)
