Transitions in Belonging and Sense of Community in a Long-Term Care Home: Explorations in Discourse, Policy and Lived Experience
(University of Waterloo, 2013-04-30)This research examined notions of belonging and sense of community through a set of layered lenses that integrated a social model of aging with phenomenology to gain a better understanding of the lived experiences of ... -
Transitions to Ecological Agriculture in Nanjing, China: Farm Types, Social-Political Networks, and Rural Communities
(University of Waterloo, 2020-12-09)China’s rural and agricultural sector has been undergoing a dramatic transformation in the form of three major trends. First, the modernization and capitalization of agriculture has significantly modified traditional ... -
Transitive Factorizations of Permutations and Eulerian Maps in the Plane
(University of Waterloo, 2005)The problem of counting ramified covers of a Riemann surface up to homeomorphism was proposed by Hurwitz in the late 1800's. This problem translates combinatorially into factoring a permutation with a specified cycle ... -
Transmission Protocol for Video-on-Demand Streaming in 5G Core Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2020-06-16)The fifth generation (5G) networks are expected to accommodate various applications with diversified quality-of-service (QoS) requirements. To this end, some new technologies are employed in 5G networks such as software-de ... -
Transmission Strategies for the Gaussian Parallel Relay Channel
(University of Waterloo, 2010-12-07)Cooperative wireless communication has received significant attention during recent years due to several reasons. First, since the received power decreases rapidly with distance, the idea of multi-hopping is becoming of ... -
Transmitting Quantum Information Reliably across Various Quantum Channels
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-01)Transmitting quantum information across quantum channels is an important task. However quantum information is delicate, and is easily corrupted. We address the task of protecting quantum information from an information ... -
A Transmogrifying Discourse of Sexual Violence: Resisting, Redressing, and Re-writing Racial Scripts in Contemporary African American Women's Theatre
(University of Waterloo, 2019-02-14)This dissertation examines contemporary African American women's theatre that addresses the absented and erased reality of black women as victims of sexual violence. This thesis investigates how contemporary African American ... -
Transnational Identity in Online Discourse – Netflix’s Sense8 and accompanying Twitter communication
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-28)Digital media has become ubiquitous and immensely shapes communitarisation, and thus identity construction. As media does not rely on physical border crossing to bring us in con-tact with different subject positions, ... -
Transparency in Federal Policy-Making: the Case of Biotechnology in Animals Intended for Human Consumption
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-24)This research project examines the degree of transparency of the Canadian Federal Government’s decision-making processes and institutions with respect to the human consumption of animals produced through modern biotechnology ... -
Transparent Decision Support Using Statistical Evidence
(University of Waterloo, 2005)An automatically trained, statistically based, fuzzy inference system that functions as a classifier is produced. The hybrid system is designed specifically to be used as a decision support system. This hybrid system ... -
Transparent Oxide Semiconductors: Fabrication, Properties, and Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-14)Transparent oxide semiconductors (TOSs) are materials that exhibit electrical conduction and optical transparency. The traditional applications of these materials are transparent conducting oxides in flat-panel displays, ... -
Transplantation and the Nature of the Immune Self
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-02)There are many theories regarding the nature of the immune self. However, existing theories have not accounted for the clinical experience of transplantation. Kidney transplantation provides a unique opportunity to examine ... -
Transport and Decoherence Phenomena in Quantum Dots
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-11)The problem of a few electronic level coupling to an environmental heat bath, such as in quantum dots (QDs), is well-known in modern quantum physics. These systems have been widely studied as they can dictate the dephasing ... -
Transport and Targeted Binding of Polymer-Coated Nanoparticles in Unsaturated Porous Media
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-25)The effectiveness of most in situ remedial technologies lies on successful delivery of reagents to a target treatment zone. Advances in nanoparticle (NP) materials has led to the targeted delivery concept in which the NP ... -
Transport Control Protocol (TCP) over Optical Burst Switched Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2007-07-13)Transport Control Protocol (TCP) is the dominant protocol in modern communication networks, in which the issues of reliability, flow, and congestion control must be handled efficiently. This thesis studies the impact of ... -
Transport Phenomena in Cathode Catalyst Layer of PEM Fuel Cells
(University of Waterloo, 2010-06-25)Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells have increasingly become promising green energy sources for automobile and stationary cogeneration applications but its success in commercialization depends on performance ... -
