Topological Quantum Computation and Protected Gates
(University of Waterloo, 2015-12-22)This thesis serves to give a mathematical overview of topological quantum computation and to apply the theory to characterize desirable fault-tolerant operations called protected gates. Topological quantum computation is ... -
Topological Semimetals
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-31)This thesis describes two topological phases of matter, the Weyl semimetal and the line node semimetal, that are related to but distinct from topological insulator phases. These new topological phases are semimetallic, ... -
Topology and interactions in Weyl metals and quantum Hall systems
(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-10)In recent years it became clear that in the Condensed Matter physics, the study of the interactions and the topology allows one to find and to describe many new phases of matter. Even more interest was drawn by the ... -
Topology Based Optimization of Suspension and Steering Mechanisms of Automobiles
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-24)This thesis proposes a kinematic based optimization of the characteristics of suspension and steering systems by focusing on their dynamics interaction. Two of the most important suspension mechanisms are modeled. A new ... -
Topology in Fundamental Physics
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-02)In this thesis I present a mathematical tool for understanding the spin networks that arise from the study of the loop states of quantum gravity. The spin networks that arise in quantum gravity possess more information ... -
Topology-Awareness and Re-optimization Mechanism for Virtual Network Embedding
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-15)Embedding of virtual network (VN) requests on top of a shared physical network poses an intriguing combination of theoretical and practical challenges. Two major problems with the state-of-the-art VN embedding algorithms ... -
A Topology-Based Method for the Compartmentalization of Multiphysics Flows
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-28)Continuum simulations of multiphysics processes are costly due to the coupling of transport phenomena. Compartment modelling decouples hydrodynamics from other transport phenomena, offering a low-cost simulation alternative ... -
Topology-Based Vehicle Systems Modelling
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-25)The simulation tools that are used to model vehicle systems have not been advancing as quickly as the growth of research and technology surrounding the advancements of vehicle technology itself. A topological vehicle systems ... -
Tor für Deutschland! Vergleichende Analyse von Fußball-Live-Reportagen 1974 und 2006
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-26)This thesis is a contribution to the research of media discourse. During the last decades the media landscape has changed dramatically. These changes have been especially evident in German TV programs and the rise of private ... -
Toronto's Last Mile Delivering to Communities in Public Urban Spaces
(University of Waterloo, 2020-10-22)Streets shadowed by skyscrapers, copious amounts of cars trying to navigate through the downtown core, and, communities that grow in density everyday –Toronto is lacking the infrastructure to accommodate the contemporary ... -
Toronto's Ravines: Conditions and Visitor Perspectives
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-25)This thesis evaluates whether there are significant similarities and/or differences between how visitors perceive ravine park management and the consultation process in six sites across the City of Toronto. This was done ... -
Torque Control Strategies for AWD Electric Vehicles
(University of Waterloo, 2007-02-21)There is a fundamental shift occurring in the design of passenger vehicles for North American markets. While for decades automotive manufacturers have relied on internal combustion engines burning fossil fuels, the early ... -
Torsion in Helically Reinforced Prestressed Concrete Poles
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-22)Reinforced concrete poles are commonly used as street lighting and electrical transmission poles. Typical concrete lighting poles experience very little load due to torsion. The governing design loads are typically bending ... -
Total Relation Recall: High-Recall Relation Extraction
(University of Waterloo, 2021-04-28)As Knowledge Graphs (KGs) become important in a wide range of applications, including question-answering and recommender systems, more and more enterprises have recognized the value of constructing KGs with their own data. ... -
Total Retinal Blood Flow and Retinal Oxygen Saturation in the Major Retinal Vessels of Healthy Participants
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-27)Introduction: Oxygen delivery, or utilization, is a function of retinal blood flow and blood oxygen saturation. The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), in particular, has been shown to have the highest levels of metabolic ... -
Touch and Emotion in Haptic and Product Design
(University of Waterloo, 2012-04-24)The emotional experience of products can have enormous impact on the overall product experience: someone who is feeling positive is more likely to be accepting of novel products or to be more tolerant of unexpected or ... -
Touch Crossing-Based Selection and the Pin-and-Cross Technique
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-13)This thesis focuses on the evaluation, exploration and demonstration of crossing paradigm with touch modality. Under the scenario of crossing selection, the target is selected by stroking through a boundary 'goal' instead ... -
Tour Guides and Sustainable Development: the Case of Hainan, China
(University of Waterloo, 2007-02-20)Tour guides are one of the most visible players in tourism but little scholarly attention has been given to the links that tour guides may have with sustainable development. This study addresses the gap by promoting an ... -
