    • The Evolution of Reason 

      Abdallah, Sajad (University of Waterloo, 2017-01-17)
      Aristotle’s metaphysics bridges the gap between mind and nature explaining how their relationship constitutes development in life. Charles Sanders Peirce’s objective idealism similarly aims to investigate how the principles ...
    • The Evolution of Subhalo Orbits in Galaxy Clusters 

      de Luna, Jedri (University of Waterloo, 2023-10-23)

      Soares, Michael (University of Waterloo, 2018-09-26)
      This thesis examines the historical evolution of racial hierarchies and white racism in American society, and in particular how these ideological frameworks have impacted Black American society. By utilizing a case study ...
    • Evolutionary Design for Computational Visual Attention 

      Bruce, Neil (University of Waterloo, 2003)
      A new framework for simulating the visual attention system in primates is introduced. The proposed architecture is an abstraction of existing approaches influenced by the work of Koch and Ullman, and Tompa. Each stage ...
    • Evolutionary Dynamics of Cancer: Spatial and Heterogeneous Effects 

      Mahdipour Shirayeh, Ali (University of Waterloo, 2017-01-23)
      Despite significant advances in the study of cancer and associated combination therapeutic treatments, cancer still remains one of the most common and complex often-terminal diseases. Acquisition of high-throughput ...
    • The Evolving Muskoka Vacation Experience 1860-1945 

      Shifflett, Geoffrey (University of Waterloo, 2012-08-29)
      This dissertation examines the development of tourism in Muskoka in the Canadian Shield region from 1860 to 1945. Three key themes are examined: the tourists, the resorts and projected image of the area. When taken ...
    • Evolving Priorities: Canadian Oil Policy and the United States in the years leading up to the Oil Crisis of 1973 

      Muller, Ian (University of Waterloo, 2008-05-20)
      This study investigates the relationship between the oil industries of Canada and the United States in the years leading up to the 1973 oil crisis. Shortly after the Second World War it became apparent that American ...
    • The Evolving Search for Positive Electrode Host Materials for the Li-S Battery 

      Hart, Connor (University of Waterloo, 2015-05-06)
      High energy density storage systems are constantly being researched to support the demand for electric vehicles and use for renewable energy systems. One such energy storage system of interest is lithium-sulfur batteries ...
    • Evolving Software Systems for Self-Adaptation 

      Amoui Kalareh, Mehdi (University of Waterloo, 2012-04-25)
      There is a strong synergy between the concepts of evolution and adaptation in software engineering: software adaptation refers to both the current software being adapted and to the evolution process that leads to the new ...
    • Evolving the Urban Dwelling 

      Gauthier, Martin (University of Waterloo, 2012-05-18)
      In examining the Canadian residential fabric, this thesis advocates for the design of urban dwellings which respond directly to a number of contemporary urban challenges. A number of these challenges stem from the largely ...
    • An Ex-Ante Rational Distributed Resource Allocation System using Transfer of Control Strategies for Preemption with Applications to Emergency Medicine 

      Doucette, John Anthony Erskine (University of Waterloo, 2012-08-20)
      Within the artificial intelligence subfield of multiagent systems, one challenge that arises is determining how to efficiently allocate resources to all agents in a way that maximizes the overall expected utility. In this ...
    • Exact and Perturbed Friedmann-Lemaitre Cosmologies 

      Ullrich, Paul Aaron (University of Waterloo, 2007-08-07)
      In this thesis we first apply the 1+3 covariant description of general relativity to analyze n-fluid Friedmann-Lemaitre (FL) cosmologies; that is, homogeneous and isotropic cosmologies whose matter-energy content consists ...
    • Exact C*-algebras and the Kirchberg-Phillips Nuclear Embedding Theorem 

      Sarkowicz, Pawel (University of Waterloo, 2019-08-08)
      A C*-algebra A is exact if the functor A ⊗ min (·) preserves short exact sequences. This is equivalent to the algebra A having a nuclear faithful *-representation. Exact C*-algebras are a class of C*-algebras which is ...
    • Exact Formulas for Averages of Secular Coefficients 

      Medjedovic, Andean (University of Waterloo, 2021-09-29)
      We study averages of secular coefficients that frequently appear in random matrix theory. We obtain exact formulas, identities and new asymptotics for these integrals as well as a technique to deal with singularities that ...
    • Exact Results in Gauge Theories 

      Silva, João (University of Waterloo, 2015-10-23)
      This thesis is devoted to the study of observables in the four dimensional superconformal N = 4 Yang-Mills theory. We will be focused on the problem of computing higher point correlation functions, scattering amplitudes ...
    • Exact results in QFT: Minimal Areas and Maximal Couplings 

      Toledo, Jonathan (University of Waterloo, 2016-09-14)
      This thesis is devoted to a two-pronged study of non-perturbative quantum field theory. In Part I we focus on the four-dimensional super conformal $\mathcal{N}=4$ Yang Mills theory. We compute smooth Wilson loops and ...
    • Exact Results in Supersymmetric Gauge Theory 

      Lamy-Poirier, Joel (University of Waterloo, 2016-08-30)
      Exact results are a key component for understanding any physical theory. Unfortunately in the context of quantum field theory (QFT) they are in general impossible to obtain, and we need some sort of approximations. However ...
    • Exact Solutions and Black Hole Stability in Higher Dimensional Supergravity Theories 

      Stotyn, Sean Michael Anton (University of Waterloo, 2012-06-20)
      This thesis examines exact solutions to gauged and ungauged supergravity theories in space-time dimensions D⩾5 as well as various instabilities of such solutions. I begin by using two solution generating techniques for ...
