¹H MAS NMR Spectral Coalescence of Water and Hydroxyl Resonances in MCM-41
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-01)Solid state ¹H MAS NMR spectroscopy was used to investigate the temperature and hydration dependance of water and hydroxyl proton spectra of hydrated mesoporous MCM-41. The NMR spectra show a complex peak structure, with ... -
H(div)-conforming Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Multiphase Flow
(University of Waterloo, 2021-05-05)Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is concerned with numerically solving and visualizing complex problems involving fluids with numerous engineering applications. Mathematical models are derived from basic governing ... -
H-Infinity Performance Limitations for Problems with Sensor Time Delays
(University of Waterloo, 2008-01-23)Motivated by ongoing research into automating radiotherapy, this thesis is concerned with linear feedback control and estimation problems where only a delayed output signal is measurable. Various discrete-time performance ... -
H-∞ optimal actuator location
(University of Waterloo, 2012-05-17)There is often freedom in choosing the location of actuators on systems governed by partial differential equations. The actuator locations should be selected in order to optimize the performance criterion of interest. ... -
H2-Optimal Sensor Location
(University of Waterloo, 2014-06-24)Optimal sensor placement is an important problem with many applications; placing thermostats in rooms, installing pressure sensors in chemical columns or attaching vibration detection devices to structures are just a few ... -
Habitat use of young-of-year Arctic Grayling (Thymallus arcticus) in Barrenland streams of central Nunavut, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2020-06-01)Arctic Grayling, a species within the family Salmonidae that is valued by sport fishers and Indigenous communities, is distributed throughout a diversity of northern landscapes. While Arctic Grayling are known to be sensitive ... -
Hack: Reclaiming the Commons
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-03)Architecture is an act of agency, and a technology that can be learned by anyone for their own purpose. It evolved as a system of organization and a protective shell for our fragile bodies, a vast, complex technology that ... -
Hadez, a Framework for the Specification and Verification of Hypermedia Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2000)In recent years, several methodologies for the development of hypermedia applications have been proposed. These methodologies are, primarily, guidelines to be followed during the design process. They also indicate what ... -
Hair cortisol concentration as a predictor of quality of life among children with mental disorder
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-08)Children living with mental disorder are at risk for lower health-related quality of life (HRQoL) than their healthy peers. Although hair cortisol concentration (HCC) is found to be elevated among individuals subjected to ... -
Halfway to Halfspace Testing
(University of Waterloo, 2017-10-18)In this thesis I study the problem of testing halfspaces under arbitrary probability distributions, using only random samples. A halfspace, or linear threshold function, is a boolean function f : Rⁿ → {±1} defined as the ... -
Hall Resistance Characterization of Thermoelectric Materials; Subgap Leakage Measurement of Josephson Junctions
(University of Waterloo, 2020-06-01)The thesis has two parts. The first part is the Hall measurement of thermoelectric materials which are promising energy sources in the future. By characterizing the Hall resistance at different environments, their charge ... -
Halocline mixing due to heavy rainfall in the cenote's of the Yucatan Peninsula
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-23)The hydrodynamics of the Yucatan peninsula are extremely important due to the strain on water resources caused by increasing development along the eastern coast. The geology of the peninsula is unique geologically in that ... -
Hamilton Paths in Generalized Petersen Graphs
(University of Waterloo, 2002)This thesis puts forward the conjecture that for <i>n</i> > 3<i>k</i> with <i>k</i> > 2, the generalized Petersen graph, <i>GP</i>(<i>n,k</i>) is Hamilton-laceable if <i>n</i> is even and <i>k</i> is odd, and it is ... -
Hand preference after stroke: The development and initial evaluation of a new performance-based measure
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-21)Functional recovery of the upper limb after stroke is influenced by many factors, one being amount of affected arm and hand use following stroke. In the healthy population, amount of hand use is influenced by degree of ... -
Hand-mapped stories of ‘Canadian’ Blackness, Failed Multiculturalism, and Black Humanity in a Predominantly White Mid-Sized City in South-Western Ontario
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-13)The happy, upbeat narratives of multiculturalism in Canada misrepresent lived experiences of individuals who embody Canada’s narrative of multiculturalism and cultural diversity (Berry, 2013; Walcott & Abdillahi, 2019). ... -
Handle with Care: Agreeableness and Responses to Hurt Feelings
(University of Waterloo, 2021-05-21)What factors predict people’s reactions to hurt feelings in romantic relationships? I propose that people higher in agreeableness (Agreeables) show more cognitive and behavioral responses to hurt feelings that reflect ... -
