Induced subgraphs and tree decompositions II. Toward walls and their line graphs in graphs of bounded degree.
(Elsevier, 2024-01)This paper is motivated by the following question: what are the unavoidable induced subgraphs of graphs with large treewidth? Aboulker et al. made a conjecture which answers this question in graphs of bounded maximum ... -
Induced Subgraphs and Tree Decompositions III. Three-Path-Configurations and Logarithmic Treewidth.
(Advances in Combinatorics, 2022-09-09)A theta is a graph consisting of two non-adjacent vertices and three internally disjoint paths between them, each of length at least two. For a family H of graphs, we say a graph G is H-free if no induced subgraph of G is ... -
Induced Subgraphs and Tree Decompositions IV. (Even Hole, Diamond, Pyramid)-Free Graphs
(Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2023-06-16)A hole in a graph G is an induced cycle of length at least four, and an even hole is a hole of even length. The diamond is the graph obtained from the complete graph K4 by removing an edge. A pyramid is a graph consisting ... -
Induced subgraphs and tree decompositions VII. Basic obstructions in H-free graphs.
(Elsevier, 2024-01)We say a class C of graphs is clean if for every positive integer t there exists a positive integer w(t) such that every graph in C with treewidth more than w(t) contains an induced subgraph isomorphic to one of the ... -
Induced Subgraphs and Tree Decompositions VIII: Excluding a Forest in (Theta, Prism)-Free Graphs
(Springer, 2024-04-08)Given a graph H, we prove that every (theta, prism)-free graph of sufficiently large treewidth contains either a large clique or an induced subgraph isomorphic to H, if and only if H is a forest. -
Induced subgraphs of graphs with large chromatic number. VIII. Long odd holes
(Elsevier, 2020-01)We prove a conjecture of András Gyárfás, that for all k, l, every graph with clique number at most κ and sufficiently large chromatic number has an odd hole of length at least ℓ. -
Induced-Charge Electrokinetic Motion of a Heterogeneous Particle and Its Corresponding Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2013-02-22)This thesis conducts numerical and experimental studies of the nonlinear electrokinetic motion of heterogeneous particles in microfluidic systems and their corresponding applications in laboratory-on-a-chip (LOC) systems. ... -
Inducing Feelings of Ignorance Makes People More Receptive to Expert (economist) Opinion
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-19)While they usually should, people do not revise their beliefs more to expert (economist) opinion than to lay opinion. The present research sought to better understand the factors that make it more likely for an individual ... -
Inducing Slips of Action: Creating a Window Into Attention Failures
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-27)Many of our daily activities are achieved through goal-oriented routines which illustrates the adaptability and efficiency of information processing. Nevertheless, slips of action do occur. This study was designed to ... -
Inducing Support for Organizational Visions through Person-Vision Congruence in Values and Identity
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-22)Organizational visions articulate a desirable future state in connection to some shared values or identity among organizational members. Theories in both visionary and transformational leadership suggest that values and ... -
Induction Relations in the Symmetric Groups and Jucys-Murphy Elements
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-16)Transitive factorizations faithfully encode many interesting objects. The well-known ones include ramified coverings of the sphere and hypermaps. Enumeration of specific classes of such objects have been known for quite ... -
Industrial Waste Management and Urban Environments in Medieval England, 1300 - 1600
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-20)This paper demonstrates how key industries impacted urban environments in late medieval England from 1300-1600CE through an examination of city laws, ordinances, and rulings. It focuses on the municipalities of Bristol, ... -
Industry Foundation Processes (IFP): Theoretical and Practical Foundations for the Construction Industry
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-12)Industry foundation processes are formulated to improve capital project process conformance and interoperability. These processes are used to implement key elements of practices. Several research studies confirm that the ... -
Inequalities in Health and Wellbeing Among Elderly Populations: A Case Study of Central Uganda
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-23)Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has the fastest aging population in the world. Yet its older population has the lowest life expectancy, lowest ratings of subjective wellbeing, and greatest burdens of disease in old age globally. ... -

Inertial MEMS Sensors
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-07)In this work, novel electrostatic micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) sensor and sensors are introduced and demonstrated. First, a novel bifurcation-based MEMS ethanol vapor sensor is demonstrated. In contrast to ... -
Inertial, Transient, and Turbulent Flow through Deformable and Propagating Fractures: Theory and Computational Engineering
(University of Waterloo, 2023-07-20)Fluid flow in deformable fractures is important to many natural and industrial geological engineering applications including contaminant transport, geothermal energy, and hydraulic stimulation. Large-scale simulations of ... -
