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
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-25)Degradable implants for bone fixation have been of significant interest since the last decade. Among different materials, magnesium appears as a promising candidate due to its unique combination of properties. Magnesium ... -
Magnesium Silicide Based Thermoelectric Nanocomposites
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-15)The major objective of this thesis was to investigate how far the thermoelectric (TE) properties of magnesium silicide based materials can be enhanced via doping, alloying, and nanostructuring. The investigation of Sb and ... -
Magnetic and Structural Investigation of Manganese Doped SnO_2 and In_2 O_3 Nanocrystals
