Feeling Queer Together: Identity, Community, and the Work of Affect in the Pre-Stonewall Lesbian Magazine, The Ladder
(University of Waterloo, 2018-12-07)This project examines the emergence of lesbian identity and community through the work of queer feeling, specifically as it was produced in the American magazine, the Ladder (1956-1972). The Ladder was published by the ... -
Feelings of Obligation Related to Volunteering as Serious Leisure Within a Communitarian Framework
(University of Waterloo, 2011-01-04)This research explores feelings of obligation to volunteer, which lie at the interface of volunteering as simultaneously individual and collective and challenge traditional understandings of volunteering as leisure. The ... -
Female Labour Supply with Time Constraints
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-29)The Italian labour market seems unable to allocate a significant fraction of the working age population efficiently. The gap between the employment rate in Italy and in the other developed economies is foremost attributable ... -
Female Masochism in Michael Haneke’s La Pianiste and Lars von Trier’s Nymphomaniac
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-27)The figure of the female masochist, along with her desires and experiences, has been largely ignored within theories of masochism and examinations of masochistic aesthetics. With the rise of more graphic and challenging ... -
Female Sex-Workers in Rome: Agency and Self-Representation
(University of Waterloo, 2022-10-31)This project addresses the notion that female sex-workers at Rome wore the toga. The toga was a symbol of masculine responsibility, authority, political involvement, and citizenship. Focusing on legal, literary, and material ... -
Female Tourists, Magazine Advertisements and Travel Preferences
(University of Waterloo, 2006)I set out to determine how the contemporary Western female traveler is constructed in popular travel media, and how resonant such images were with female travel consumers themselves. Two periods of ads were compared - ... -
A Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis of the Experiences of Community Reintegration for Women Leaving Prison
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-12)Women are a small, yet growing, increasingly diverse and complex group out of the overall Canadian prison population. From 2005 to 2015, the population of people in Canadian prisons rose by approximately 10% and most of ... -
Femtosecond Laser Induced Polyyne Formation
(University of Waterloo, 2010-10-01)Polyyne molecules were produced as a result of the femtosecond laser irradiation of liquid acetone (CH3)2CO and alkane molecules hexane C6H14 and octane C8H18 using 800 nm, 100 fs duration pulses. These polyynes have ... -
Femtosecond Laser Interaction with Graphene Oxide Aqueous Solution
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-23)In this study fs pulsed laser of wavelength 800 nm was used to reduce two sets of aqueous graphene oxide solution namely low (0.5 mg/mL) and high concentration (6.2 mg/mL). It was found that after fs laser treatment the ... -
Femtosecond Laser Joining of Silver Submicron/Nanoparticles
(University of Waterloo, 2015-08-06)The development of future devices is towards to the miniaturization and performance improvement. This requires the large scale integration of nanodevices. Nanojoining is an essential step for the industrial scale production ... -
Femtosecond Time-Resolved Studies on the Reaction Pathways for the Generation of Reactive Oxygen Species in Photodynamic Therapy by Indocyanine Green
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-12)Photodynamic therapy (PDT), which utilizes the combination of light and a photosensitizing drug to cause tissue damages, has emerged as a novel clinical approach for the treatment of numerous cancers, as well as some other ... -
Fen restoration on a bog cut down to sedge peat: A hydrological assessment of rewetting and the impact of a subsurface gyttja layer
(University of Waterloo, 2013-02-22)Vacuum harvested peatlands do not easily regain their hydrological function after peat production therefore restoration is required to create hydrological conditions appropriate for the growth of peat producing fen plant ... -
The Fence Complexity of Persistent Sets
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-21)This thesis studies fence complexity of concurrent sets in a non-volatile shared memory model. I consider the case where CPU registers and cache memory remain volatile while main memory is non-volatile. Flush instructions ... -
Fermentation of Food Waste in a Leach Bed Reactor- Effects of pH and Inoculum to Substrate Ratio
(University of Waterloo, 2018-12-19)A more sustainable method for the treatment of accumulated food waste, instead of landfilling, is in urgently need. Fermentation is one of the most promising waste-to-energy technologies for energy recovery from food waste. ... -
Fermentation study of metabolically engineered Escherichia coli strains for high-level 1-propanol production
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-29)As the current global energy requirements are mainly met through the combustion of petroleum, coal, and natural gas, concerns over the global warming and the sustainability of the future exploitation of fossil fuels are ... -
Fertile Grounds: Cultivating an Identity Through Architecture
(University of Waterloo, 2012-05-01)This thesis explores the contributive role of architecture to the prosperity of a place. The research addresses the challenges and opportunities that rural regions face today by analyzing the general factors of marginalized ... -
Few Hole Quantum Dots in a Gated GaAs/AlGaAs Heterostructure
(University of Waterloo, 2019-06-24)This thesis presents a set of experiments that explore gate de ned hole quantum dots in the GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure. These experiments explore the evolution of the quantum states of holes in a double quantum dot. The ... -
Few-Cycle Laser Pulse Generation and Characterization for Coulomb Explosion Imaging of Molecules
