The Logic of Imagination in Architecture
(University of Waterloo, 2011-01-19)Spaces are determined not only by their physical qualities, but also by the narratives created during their occupation. These persistent yet ephemeral stories infuse our experience of space with meaning and can be the ... -
Logical Superposition Coded Modulation for Wireless Video Multicasting
(University of Waterloo, 2009-04-23)This thesis documents the design of logical superposition coded (SPC) modulation for implementation in wireless video multicast systems, to tackle the issues caused by multi-user channel diversity, one of the legacy problems ... -
Lognormal Mixture Model for Option Pricing with Applications to Exotic Options
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-23)The Black-Scholes option pricing model has several well recognized deficiencies, one of which is its assumption of a constant and time-homogeneous stock return volatility term. The implied volatility smile has been studied ... -
London Layover: Impermanent dwelling in a nomad's city
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-19)Presently, 190 million people live outside of their countries of origin. Almost all have moved in search of a better life: higher wages, or an escape from war or persecution. However, a small but growing demographic is ... -
Lone Mothers Exiting Social Assistance: Gender, Social Exclusion and Social Capital
(University of Waterloo, 2014-05-14)After the North American wave of “welfare reform” in the 1990s, much research has measured the success of the work-to-welfare model. Lone mothers as a group have proved a particularly intractable challenge to policies aimed ... -
Long Range Polymer Chain Dynamics Probed with Pyrene Excimer Fluorescence
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-27)A series of fluorescently labeled vinyl polymers bearing a C1-C18 side-chain (namely poly(methyl methacrylate), poly(butyl methacrylate), poly(octyl methacrylate), poly(lauryl methacrylate), and poly(stearyl methacrylate) ... -
Long Range Polymer Chain Dynamics Studied by Fluorescence Quenching
(American Chemical Society, 2016-09-13)Over the years, fluorescence quenching experiments have provided a robust analytical means to retrieve information about the internal dynamics of macromolecules in general and the long range polymer chain dynamics (LRPCD) ... -
The Long Reach of War: Canadian Records Management and the Public Archives
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-24)This thesis explores why the Public Archives of Canada, which was established in 1872, did not have the full authority or capability to collect the government records of Canada until 1966. The Archives started as an ... -
Long Term Two-Phase Flow Analysis of the Deep Low Permeability Rock at the Bruce DGR Site
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-27)Abnormal pressures have been measured in the deep boreholes at the Bruce site, southern Ontario, where a deep geologic repository for low and intermediate level radioactive waste disposal has been proposed. The pressure ... -
Long- and Short-Term Dynamics of the Wetlands in the Amboseli Savanna Ecosystem, Kenya
(University of Waterloo, 2006)The wetlands of the semi-arid savanna ecosystem of Amboseli are the critical dry-season range for a diverse wildlife population, as well as for livestock and humans. Changes in the migratory patterns and increases in ... -
A Long-acting Ocular Lubricant Eye Drop based on Dextran Hydrogel Nanoparticles
(University of Waterloo, 2019-03-27)Dry eye disease is a highly prevalent condition that affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide. In moderate to severe cases, affected individuals experience considerable difficulty in carrying out their day-to-day ... -

Long-distance Movement over a Period of Days by a Female Myotis lucifugus in Newfoundland, Canada
(Humboldt Field Research Institute, 2021-02)Myotis lucifugus (Little Brown Myotis) is a regionally migrating bat, widely distributed throughout North America. Through long-term monitoring systems deployed in 2 locations in Newfoundland, Canada, we recorded the ... -
Long-lived Anatexis in the Exhumed Middle Crust from the Torngat Orogen and Eastern Core Zone: Constraints from Geochronology, Petrochronology, and Phase Equilibria Modeling
(University of Waterloo, 2016-05-11)The Torngat Orogen (southeastern Churchill Province, Canada) is a transpressional Paleoproterozoic orogen resulting from the collision between the North Atlantic Craton and the Core Zone (an Archean micro-continent) during ... -
