GaN Micro-LED Integration with Thin-Film Transistors for Flexible Displays
(University of Waterloo, 2020-04-13)The research presented provides a systematic attempt to address the major challenges for the development of flexible micro-light-emitting diode (LED) displays. The feasibility of driving GaN-based micro-LEDs with a-Si:H-based ... -
Gaps in the Evidence on Population Interventions to Reduce Consumption of Sugars: A Review of Reviews
(MDPI, 2018-08-08)There is currently considerable attention directed to identifying promising interventions to reduce consumption of sugars among populations around the world. A review of systematic reviews was conducted to identify gaps ... -
Garnet fractionation, progressive melt loss and bulk composition variations in anatectic metabasites: Complications for interpreting the geodynamic significance of TTGs
(Elsevier, 2020-05)Tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite (TTG) suites constitute a large proportion of the Archean geological record; however, the geodynamic processes that generated them, and Archean continental crust in general, remain a ... -
Gas permeation through water-swollen sericin / PVA membranes
(University of Waterloo, 2007-06-14)Silk sericin, a protein obtained from cocoons, is a highly hydrophilic macromolecular material with many hydroxyl, carboxyl and amino acid groups. Sericin has been used for cosmetics, medical, polymer materials and other ... -
Gas Separation by Poly(ether block amide) Membranes
(University of Waterloo, 2008-04-16)This study deals with poly(ether block amide) (PEBA) (type 2533) membranes for gas separation. A new method was developed to prepare flat thin film PEBA membranes by spontaneous spreading of a solution of the block copolymer ... -
Gauge Models of Topological Phases and Applications to Quantum Gravity
(University of Waterloo, 2018-06-26)In 2+1 dimensions, gravity is an SU(2) topological gauge theory that can be written as BF theory. In the condensed matter literature, the Hamiltonian realization of BF theory for finite groups is known as the Kitaev model. ... -
Gauge Theory Dynamics and Calabi-Yau Moduli
(University of Waterloo, 2014-07-02)We compute the exact partition function of two dimensional N=(2,2) supersymmetric gauge theories on S². For theories with SU(2|1)_A invariance, the partition function admits two equivalent representations corresponding to ... -
Gaussian Interference Channels: Examining the Achievable Rate Region
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-31)Interference is assumed to be one of the main barriers to improving the throughput of communication systems. Consequently, interference management plays an integral role in wireless communications. Although the importance ... -
Gaussian Laws on Drinfeld Modules
(World Scientific, 2009)Let A = 𝔽q[T] be the polynomial ring over the finite field 𝔽q, k = 𝔽q(T) the rational function field, and K a finite extension of k. Let ϕ be a Drinfeld A-module over K of rank r. For a place 𝔓 of K of good reduction, ... -
Gaussian Two-Way Channel with Constellation-based Input
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-25)Achieving a higher transmission rate had always been a goal in the field of communications. Having a two-way channel in which two nodes transmit and receive data at the same time, is an important tool to achieve this goal. ... -
The Gaze Cueing Effect and Its Enhancement by Facial Expressions Are Impacted by Task Demands: Direct Comparison of Target Localization and Discrimination Tasks
(Frontiers, 2021-03-11)The gaze cueing effect is characterized by faster attentional orienting to a gazed-at than a non-gazed-at target. This effect is often enhanced when the gazing face bears an emotional expression, though this finding is ... -
Gaze strategies for coping with glare under intense contra light viewing conditions – A pilot study
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-30)Purpose: This is a pilot study to investigate gaze strategies for coping with glare when performing a simple visual task under intense contra light viewing conditions. Method: Twenty-four normally sighted participants ... -
Gazing back: A feminist postcolonial lens on tourism in the townships of South Africa
(University of Waterloo, 2018-06-18)Encountering poverty in tourism is a morally fraught experience. Growing numbers of tourists are desirous of exploring off-the-beaten path adventures and this invariably leads to encounters with the Other in increasingly ... -
Gearbox Fault Detection using Synchro-squeezing Transform
(Elsevier, 2016)This paper presents a novel fault-detection method for gearbox vibration signatures using synchro-squeezing transform (SST). Premised upon the concept of time-frequency (TF) reassignment, SST provides a sharp representation ... -
Gecko Adhesion and Gecko-Inspired Dry Adhesives: From Fundamentals to Characterization and Fabrication Aspects
(University of Waterloo, 2014-02-19)This study focuses on fabrication of dry adhesives mimicking gecko adhesion. We also look into the origin of the supreme adhesion of geckos, which have inspired the fabrication of fibrillar dry adhesives during the last ... -
Gelatin Methacrylate as a Controlled Release Vehicle for Treatment of Recurrent Corneal Erosion
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-04)Patients with recurrent corneal erosions (RCE) experience unpredictable and painful episodes, caused by the loss of superficial corneal epithelial cells. The erratic nature of RCE often leads to patient anxiety, and can ... -
Gelatin/PEDOT: PSS Modified Manganese Dioxide Cathode in Aqueous Rechargeable Zinc-ion Batteries
