      Wang, Sunmeng (University of Waterloo, 2020-06-02)
      Carbon nanotubes have broken through the barriers of our imagination and are currently being investigated for various nano-electronic device applications. Successful implementation in these applications however, often ...
    • Enhancing Volunteered Geographical Information (VGI) Visualization with Open Source Web-Based Software 

      Deparday, Vivien (University of Waterloo, 2011-01-13)

    • The Enigma History and Mathematics 

      Faint, Stephanie (University of Waterloo, 2016-10-25)
      In this thesis we look at the solution to the German code machine, the Enigma machine. This solution was originally found by Polish cryptologists. We look at the solution from a historical perspective, but most importantly, ...
    • Enrichment and activity of comammox Nitrospira from the rotating biological contactors of a municipal wastewater treatment system 

      Al-Ajeel, Sarah (University of Waterloo, 2021-02-05)
      Nitrification, the biological conversion of ammonia to nitrate, via nitrite, is an important process in both natural and engineered systems. Nitrification within wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is necessary because ...
    • Entanglement Entropy in Quantum Gravity 

      Donnelly, William (University of Waterloo, 2008-05-22)
      We study a proposed statistical explanation for the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of a black hole in which entropy arises quantum-mechanically as a result of entanglement. Arguments for the identification of black hole entropy ...
    • Entanglement Entropy of Scalar Fields in Causal Set Theory 

      Kouchekzadeh Yazdi, Yasaman (University of Waterloo, 2017-08-15)
      Entanglement entropy is now widely accepted as having deep connections with quantum gravity. It is therefore desirable to understand it in the context of causal sets, especially since they provide the UV cutoff needed to ...
    • Entanglement Harvesting and Divergences in Unruh-DeWitt Detector Pairs 

      Sachs, Allison (University of Waterloo, 2017-08-28)
      We analyze correlations between pairs of detectors quadratically coupled to real and complex scalar bosonic fields in 3+1 dimensions. This is a first step toward studying the entanglement structure of the fermionic ...
    • Entanglement in Non-inertial Frames 

      Ostapchuk, David Cecil Murphy (University of Waterloo, 2008-09-19)
      This thesis considers entanglement, an important resource for quantum information processing tasks, while taking into account the theory of relativity. Not only is this a more complete description of quantum information, ...
    • Entanglement in single-shot quantum channel discrimination 

      Puzzuoli, Daniel (University of Waterloo, 2018-08-30)
      Single-shot quantum channel discrimination is the fundamental task of determining, given only a single use, which of two known quantum channels is acting on a system. In this thesis we investigate the well-known phenomenon ...
    • Entanglement quantification and quantum benchmarking of optical communication devices 

      Killoran, Nathan (University of Waterloo, 2012-04-27)
      In this thesis, we develop a number of operational tests and tools for benchmarking the quantum nature of optical quantum communication devices. Using the laws of quantum physics, ideal quantum devices can fundamentally ...
    • Entire Solutions to Dirichlet Type Problems 

      Sitar, Scott (University of Waterloo, 2007-08-02)
      In this thesis, we examined some Dirichlet type problems of the form: \begin{eqnarray*} \triangle u & = & 0\ {\rm in\ } \mathbb{R}^n \\ u & = & f\ {\rm on\ } \psi = 0, \end{eqnarray*} and we were particularly ...
    • Entity Matching and Disambiguation Across Multiple Knowledge Graphs 

      Farag, Michael (University of Waterloo, 2019-06-10)
      Knowledge graphs are considered an important representation that lie between free text on one hand and fully-structured relational data on the other. Knowledge graphs are a back-bone of many applications on the Web. With ...
    • Entropic Segregation at Surfaces of Polymer Melts 

      Mahmoudi, Pendar (University of Waterloo, 2018-05-04)
      Throughout recent years, polymers have been one of the most widely used materials in industry due to their suitability to a vast variety of fields from construction to biomedical and technological utilities. Their extensive ...
    • Entropy and Graphs 

      Changiz Rezaei, Seyed Saeed (University of Waterloo, 2014-01-23)
      The entropy of a graph is a functional depending both on the graph itself and on a probability distribution on its vertex set. This graph functional originated from the problem of source coding in information theory and ...
    • Entropy-based aggregate posterior alignment techniques for deterministic autoencoders and implications for adversarial examples 

      Ghose, Amur (University of Waterloo, 2020-08-27)
      We present results obtained in the context of generative neural models — specifically autoencoders — utilizing standard results from coding theory. The methods are fairly elementary in principle, yet, combined with the ...
    • Entropy-based Demand Splits in a Hospital-Warehouse Profit Center 

      Attanayake, Nidarsha (University of Waterloo, 2014-08-11)
      Financial pressures on healthcare industry in the United States and elsewhere have forced the industry to address their supply costs, their fastest growing cost sector currently comprising over 40 % of their total spend. ...
    • Entropy-Stable Positivity-Preserving Schemes for Multiphase Flows 

      Simpson, Benjamin Jacob (University of Waterloo, 2024-01-22)
      High-intensity focused ultrasound is a promising non-invasive medical technology that has been successfully used to ablate tumors, as well as in the treatment of other conditions. Researchers believe high-intensity focused ...
    • Entwürfe selbstbestimmten Frauenlebens in Theodor Fontanes L’Adultera und Mathilde Möhring 

      Kaiser, Linda (University of Waterloo, 2009-08-25)
      Few authors in the second half of the nineteenth century wrote in such a decisive way on the subject of women as Theodor Fontane, who produced literary studies on women’s lives, determined both by others and by the women ...
    • Enumerating matroid extensions 

      Redlin Hume, Shayla (University of Waterloo, 2023-09-01)
      This thesis investigates the problem of enumerating the extensions of certain matroids. A matroid M is an extension of a matroid N if M delete e is equal to N for some element e of M. Similarly, a matroid M is a coextension ...
    • Enumerating Query Plans via Conditional Tableau Interpolation 

      Feng, Eva Hu (University of Waterloo, 2023-04-21)
