The Stage History of Goethe's Faust I in Imperial Russia: Performance and Archival Record
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-27)This dissertation is devoted to the stage history of Goethe’s Faust I in Imperial Russia with the goal of initiating academic discussion of this previously ignored topic. The significance of this study lies not only in the ... -
Stakeholder Involvement in Waterfront Planning and Development in Manado, Indonesia
(University of Waterloo, 2011-10-27)Waterfront development is acknowledged as being significant to urban tourism planning and, ideally, the involvement of multiple stakeholders should be required in the development program. This research explores why and how ... -
Stakeholder Perspectives on how Tourism Development is undertaken in Waterloo Region
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-02)Serious academic enquiry for the tourism sector may appear inconsequential, but the business of tourism is complex and fragmented. Tourism is a multi-disciplinary phenomenon facilitating research from a number of different ... -
Stakeholder Perspectives on Water Conservation Practices and Asymmetrical Power Relations in Southwestern Ontario
(University of Waterloo, 2021-03-04)Abstract This thesis focuses on the politics of freshwater conservation and its impacts on water access, distribution, and management in Southwestern Ontario, focusing on Waterloo Moraine. It examines the role of various ... -
Stalin’s Last Comrade: Hanna Wolf and the “Karl Marx” Party College in the German Democratic Republic
(University of Waterloo, 2024-01-31)For over thirty years, the Parteihochschule Karl Marx (PHS) was under the direction of the fervent Hanna Wolf, who oversaw the training of East Germany’s Socialist Unity Party (SED) functionaries. First appointed as Director ... -
Stand Fast for Peace & Freedom: A Study of Foreign Policy of the British Labour Party in Opposition 1931 to 1940
(University of Waterloo, 2022-11-21)This thesis examines the evolution of foreign policy within the British Labour Party during its years in opposition from 1931 to 1940. It argues that Labour policy was locked in a bitter divide between idealist and pragmatic ... -
Standalone DC Microgrids Improvements Towards Smarter Grids
(University of Waterloo, 2024-01-26)Traditional distribution power systems are facing tremendous challenges in ensuring reliable and secure operation of the energy systems because of the new trend of using small- scale power generation and the proliferation ... -
Standard model physics and beyond from non-commutative geometry.
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-25)Non-commutative differential geometry (NCG) extends Riemannian geometry and yields a striking reinterpretation of the standard model of particle physics (SM) as gravity on a `non-commutative' manifold. The basic idea behind ... -
Standard model physics from abstract mathematical objects?
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-22)This thesis constitutes a first attempt to derive aspects of standard model particle physics from purely abstract mathematical objects. We begin abstractly with an algebra, and argue that physical concepts such as particles, ... -
Standardization and Certification in Lean Manufacturing
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-22)Lean manufacturing is a term that we have been hearing very often in many sectors and areas. Lean started as a manufacturing system and philosophy that was first developed by Toyota using key production principles that ... -
Standardization and use of colour for labelling of injectable drugs
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-25)Medication errors are one of the most common causes of patient injuries in healthcare systems. Poor labelling has been identified as a contributing factor of medication errors, particularly for those involving injectable ... -
Standards for the control of algorithmic bias in the Canadian administrative context
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-30)Governments around the world use machine learning in automated decision-making systems for a broad range of functions, including the administration and delivery of healthcare services, education, housing benefits; for ... -
Star Formation and Environmental Quenching of Group Galaxies from the GEEC2 Survey at z~1
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-03)This work presents detailed analysis from the GEEC2 spectroscopic survey of galaxy groups at 0.8<z<1. This deep survey, which has a magnitude limit of r_AB<24.75, had previously found a population of intermediate ('green') ... -
Star Formation and Quenching in Galaxies: Groups, Clusters, and Mergers
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-21)This thesis studies the impact of galaxy environment on star formation and ‘quenching’, by using simple physically-motivated models that can be fit using available observed quantities. Quenching refers to the close to total ... -
The Star Formation Histories of Red-Sequence Galaxies
(University of Waterloo, 2009-10-02)This thesis addresses the challenge of understanding the typical star formation histories of red sequence galaxies, using linestrength indices, mass-to-light ratios and redshift evolution as complementary constraints on ... -
Star Formation in Molecular Clouds Associated with HII Regions
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-22)We have studied the properties of molecular clouds and the stellar population associated with 10 H II regions. We used the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) to make 12CO(2-1) maps in order to study the structure of the ... -
The Star Unfolding from a Geodesic Curve
(University of Waterloo, 2014-11-06)An unfolding of a polyhedron P is obtained by `cutting' the surface of P in such a way that it can be flattened into the plane into a single polygon. For most practical and theoretic applications, it is desirable for an ... -
Starch Glycan Utilization by the Gut Microbiota: Structural and Biochemical Insights Into Starch Digestion and the Role of the Colon Microbiota
(University of Waterloo, 2016-05-12)The human digestive system is resident to a highly populated ecosystem of bacterial species known as the colon microbiota, which contributes significantly to our assimilation of dietary and mucosal carbohydrates. Bacteroides ... -
Starch modification for sustainable and functional material applications
(University of Waterloo, 2019-02-07)Among biodegradable polymers, starch has attracted significant interest and is currently used in numerous industrial applications. This is because of its renewability, biodegradability, abundance, and cohesive film-forming ... -
