Between the Temporal and the Eternal Falls the Shadow
(University of Waterloo, 2011-01-19)This thesis is composed of a number of fragments, each revealing an aspect of the dynamic, complex and reciprocal relationship that we form with architecture. Architecture is brought to life through the animation of ... -
Calibrant Free Sampling and Enrichment with Solid-Phase Microextraction: Computational Simulation and Experimental Verification
(American Chemical Society, 2017-04-05)Despite the benefits of diffusion-based calibrant-free sampling based on solid-phase microextraction (SPME), this quantification approach is often underestimated due to an inadequate understanding of how extraction parameters ... -
"Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour": William Blake's Visions of Time and Space in the Light of Eastern Traditions
(University of Waterloo, 2013-07-23)This thesis examines William Blake’s conceptions of time and space in the light of the philosophies of Hinduism and Islam. In order to perform this analysis, source material, often from rare and neglected texts, is utilized ... -
Insights into the Effect of the PDMS-Layer on the Kinetics and Thermodynamics of Analyte Sorption onto the Matrix-Compatible Solid Phase Microextraction Coating
(American Chemical Society, 2017-03-07)The currently presented research investigated the performance of matrix compatible PDMS-overcoated fibers (PDMS-DVB/PDMS) as compared to unmodified PDMS/ DVB coatings using aqueous samples and employing a wide range of ... -
The Lady in Red: Spirit of the Historic Alleyways in the Ancient Capital
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-23)THIS is a record of a place in flux, the hutongs of Beijing. It is a patchwork where the essence of place can be experienced. It is a journey of discovery. It is a document that, in the face of terms such as heritage and ... -
A Line in Motion
(University of Waterloo, 2009-06-19)This is a graphic account, showing various spaces found in a work of Chinese calligraphy, using, for analysis, the work of contemporary calligrapher Noriko Maeda, historical examples by Wang Hui, Wang Xizhi, Wen Cheng Ming, ... -
Liquid Monumentality: A Search for Meaning
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-02)Contemporary architecture suffers from an acute malaise: it has lost its sense of meaning, and in turn, its sense of significance. In our world of economy and utility—the liquid world—architecture can only allude to a ... -
Numerical Simulation and Experimental Validation of Calibrant-Loaded Extraction Phase Standardization Approach
(American Chemical Society, 2016-09-06)We present the kinetics of calibrant release and analyte uptake between the sample and calibrant-loaded extraction phase, CL-EP, with a finite-element analysis (FEA) using COMSOL Multiphysics software package. Effect of ... -
When and Where?: Time and Space in Boris Akunin's Azazel' and Turetskii gambit
(University of Waterloo, 2007-08-27)Boris Akunin’s historical detective novels have sold more than eight million copies in Russia, and have been translated into nearly a dozen languages. Boris Akunin is the pen name of literary critic and translator Grigory ...
