Molecular movies and geometry reconstruction using Coulomb explosion imaging
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-24)Coulomb explosion imaging is a technique of imaging the structure of small molecules in the gas phase and their ultrafast dynamics by inducing the rapid ionization and dissociation of the molecule into its constituent ... -
Molecular Nanomagnets for Novel Spintronics Devices
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-08)Molecular nanomagnets possess interesting quantum properties that make them potential candidates for qubits in quantum information processing. Heterometallic antiferromagnetic wheels specifically have been shown to have a ... -
Molecular Phylogeography and Species Discrimination of Freshwater <em>Cladophora</em> (Cladophorales, Chlorophyta) in North America
(University of Waterloo, 2006)<em>Cladophora</em> is a widespread freshwater filamentous cholorophyte genus and is frequently observed in eutrophic waters where it can produce large nuisance blooms. These blooms can have direct impacts on water ... -
Molecular Simulation of Chemically Reacting Flows Inside Micro/Nano-channels
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-27)The main objective of this thesis is to study the fundamental behaviour of multi-component gas mixture flows in micro/nano-channels undergoing catalytic chemical reactions on the walls. This work is primarily focused on ... -
Molecular-Based Methods to Detect Viable Bacterial Pathogens in Source Waters
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-30)Humans can be exposed to waterborne bacterial pathogens and numerous outbreaks have been reported involving these microorganisms around the world. Many different enteric pathogens can be found in source waters used for ... -
Molybdenum Disulphide (MoS2) Nanosheet Inks Evaluated for Printed Electronics and Application to Thin-Film Transistors
(University of Waterloo, 2017-06-20)Inkjet printing is a versatile deposition technique that has been used for the fabrication of electronic circuits, from simple conductive tracks to complete 3D logic circuits. The emergence of solution-processable 2D layered ... -
Molybdenum Disulphide (MoS₂)-Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) Hybrid Ink for Printed Thin-Film Transistor Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2020-02-14)Organic Thin-Film Transistors (OTFTs) based on Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT)-Molybdenum Disulphide (MoS₂) composite films as an active layer were prepared via inkjet printing. There have been many attempts to incorporate ... -
Moment Polynomials for the Riemann Zeta Function
(University of Waterloo, 2009-01-21)In this thesis we calculated the coefficients of moment polynomials of the Riemann zeta function for k= 4, 5, 6...13 using cubic acceleration, which is an improved method from quadratic acceleration. We then numerically ... -
Moments of Random Quantum Circuits and Applications in Random Circuit Sampling
(University of Waterloo, 2021-12-23)Random quantum circuits and random circuit sampling (RCS) have recently garnered tremendous attention from all sub-fields of the quantum information community, especially after Google’s quantum supremacy announcement in ... -
Moments of Spiritual Engagement in Architecture: A Search for Awareness of Life and Architecture
(University of Waterloo, 2014-06-19)In my encounter of Peter Zumthor’s Seniors’ Home and Kolumba Museum, I found architecture to affect well-being within the daily course of life. I saw the Seniors' Home contribute to the dwelling of the entire being of the ... -
Monetary Policy Analysis and its Contemporary Challenges
(University of Waterloo, 2024-01-26)This thesis contains three essays on the empirical analysis of monetary policy. While the subjects are diverse, they all share the goal of providing for a thorough, data-driven analysis of critical policy developments ... -
The Mongrel Approach
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-19)Cities are concentrations of diverse populations that undergo continual transformation over time. This thesis deals with the question, how does the individual make place in a constantly changing environment? The entry point ... -
Monitoring a Shallow Gasoline Release using GPR at CFB Borden
(University of Waterloo, 2011-10-04)This hydrogeophysical field experiment evaluated the ability of high frequency (450 & 900 MHz) ground penetrating radar (GPR) to characterize the release of gasoline over an annual cycle of in situ conditions. In August ... -
Monitoring and Control of Metal Additive Manufacturing Processes Using Ultrasound
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-24)Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and Directed energy deposition (DED) are two classes of additive manufacturing (AM) that are widely used to fabricate metal components. In these processes, metal powder or wire and a heat ... -
Monitoring and Enforcement of Safety Hyperproperties
(University of Waterloo, 2015-10-30)Certain important security policies such as information flow characterize system-wide behaviors and are not properties of individual executions. It is known that such security policies cannot be expressed in trace-based ... -
