    • Bipartite Quantum Walks and the Hamiltonian 

      Chen, Qiuting (University of Waterloo, 2023-09-26)
      We study a discrete quantum walk model called bipartite walks via a spectral approach. A bipartite walk is determined by a unitary matrix U, i.e., the transition matrix of the walk. For every transition matrix U, there is ...
    • BIPV/BAPV Barriers to Adoption: Architects’ Perspectives from Canada and the United States 

      Mousa, Ola (University of Waterloo, 2014-04-28)
      Solar photovoltaic technology (PV) is a promising clean energy source that assists in climate change mitigation. This is due to solar PV having minimal greenhouse gas emissions when operating compared to burning fossil ...
    • Bird Monitoring and New Media: An Anthropological Exploration 

      Moscovitch, Mallory (University of Waterloo, 2019-01-25)
      As the diversity of new media increases, people have more choices than ever before to select between various media for specific uses. In this thesis, I draw from my own research to look at the ways that bird monitors ...
    • Birding Trail Development from a Tourism Planning Perspective 

      Vas, Krisztian (University of Waterloo, 2012-02-17)
      As bird-watching gains popularity, there have been various techniques utilized by tourism planners to attract birdwatchers. One method of drawing birders to a specific region is through the development of a birding trail. ...
    • "Biste etwa einer von den roten Gebhardts?" - Identities between Family and Society in Klaus Kordon's "Trilogie der Wendepunkte" 

      Schaefer, Sonja (University of Waterloo, 2017-01-20)
      This thesis deals with the "Trilogie der Wendepunkte" ("Trilogy of Turning Points") by Klaus Kordon. The trilogy, consisting of "Die roten Matrosen" (1984), "Mit dem Rücken zur Wand" (1990), and "Der erste Frühling" (1993), ...
    • Bit Serial Systolic Architectures for Multiplicative Inversion and Division over GF(2<sup>m</sup>) 

      Daneshbeh, Amir (University of Waterloo, 2005)
      Systolic architectures are capable of achieving high throughput by maximizing pipelining and by eliminating global data interconnects. Recursive algorithms with regular data flows are suitable for systolization. The ...
    • Bit-vector Support in Z3-str2 Solver and Automated Exploit Synthesis 

      Subramanian, Sanu (University of Waterloo, 2015-11-30)
      Improper string manipulations are an important cause of software defects, which make them a target for program analysis by hackers and developers alike. Symbolic execution based program analysis techniques that systematically ...
    • Bitemporal Sliding Windows 

      Ge, Chang (University of Waterloo, 2014-04-29)
      The bitemporal data model associates two time intervals with each record - system time and application time - denoting the validity of the record from the perspective of the database and of the real world, respectively. ...
    • Black Frontiers: Race, Region, and Myth in African American Westerns, 1854-1954 

      Gallagher, Sara (University of Waterloo, 2021-10-04)
      Up until the 1960s the African American West remained largely unexamined in scholarship and, when examined, was marked for its historical absence or, as Eric Gardner notes, “limited to brief biographical asides focusing ...
    • Black hole dynamics in Effective Field Theory extensions to General Relativity 

      Cayuso, Ramiro (University of Waterloo, 2023-09-22)
      This thesis aims to develop and implement mathematical and numerical techniques to enable the study of deviations from General Relativity (GR) in the nonlinear regime. The focus is on studying the nonlinear dynamics of ...
    • The black hole information paradox in a brane world 

      Chen, Hong Zhe (University of Waterloo, 2023-06-28)
      Recent progress in our understanding of the black hole information paradox has led to a new prescription for calculating entanglement entropy, which involves special subsystems in regions where gravity is dynamical, called ...
    • Black Hole Thermodynamics and the Tunnelling Method for Particle Emission 

      Kerner, Ryan (University of Waterloo, 2008-08-29)
      The semi-classical black hole tunnelling method is a useful technique to calculate black hole temperature and understand black hole thermodynamics. I will investigate the black hole tunnelling method in detail. I will ...
    • Black Hole to White Hole Quantum Tunnelling 

      Clements, Kate Elizabeth Alexandra (University of Waterloo, 2019-08-26)
      In this thesis, we explore the proposal that near the end of its lifetime, a Schwarzschild black hole will undergo a quantum transition into a 'white hole': an object which is precisely the time-reversal of the black hole. ...
    • Black holes in cosmological spacetimes and alternative theories of gravity 

      corman, maxence (University of Waterloo, 2023-08-09)
      This thesis is dedicated to the study of spacetimes surrounding black holes within the context of cosmology, high energy physics and modified theories of gravity. We do this by applying and adapting modern numerical ...
    • Black Holes in Pseudo-Topological Gravity 

      Robinson, Brandon (University of Waterloo, 2009-08-05)
      In the following, we build on previous work done on higher derivative gravity, in particular Lovelock gravity. The latter is a family of theories in higher space-time dimensions in which interactions involving higher ...
    • The Black-Scholes and Heston Models for Option Pricing 

      Ye, Ziqun (University of Waterloo, 2013-05-22)
      Stochastic volatility models on option pricing have received much study following the discovery of the non-at implied surface following the crash of the stock markets in 1987. The most widely used stochastic volatility ...
    • Blade Number Influence on Centrifugal Impeller Flow Behavior 

      Nugroho, Rifki (University of Waterloo, 2015-12-10)
      In this study, experiments were conducted to observe the performance and flow structure of the fluid inside the passage of 5 and 7 bladed impellers. The main purpose is to understand the influence of the number of blades ...
    • Blending in at the Cost of Losing Oneself: The Cyclical Relationship between Social Anxiety, Self-Disclosure, and Self-Uncertainty 

      Orr, Elizabeth (University of Waterloo, 2013-06-18)
      Recent research has demonstrated that high social anxiety is associated with uncertainty about one’s self views and self-concept (Moscovitch et al., 2009; Stopa et al., 2010; Wilson & Rapee, 2006). However, no research has ...
    • Blind Image Quality Assessment: Exploiting New Evaluation and Design Methodologies 

      Ma, Kede (University of Waterloo, 2017-10-12)
