BOM removal by biofiltration- Developing a quantitative basis for comparison
(University of Waterloo, 2010-06-16)Biological filtration (Biofiltration) processes have been used first in Europe and then in North America for decades, however currently there is not a good overall parameter to guide biofiltration design and operation ... -
Bond and Development Length in Concrete Beams with Exposed Reinforcement
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-19)Corrosion of steel reinforcement in Ontario bridges is causing severe soffit spalling in many situations. These spalled areas are often located within the lap splices and curtailment zones of the primary reinforcement. ... -
Bond and Flexural Behaviour of Self Consolidating Concrete Beams Reinforced and Prestressed with FRP Bars
(University of Waterloo, 2013-04-29)Self consolidating concrete (SCC) is widely used in the construction industry. SCC is a high performance concrete with high workability and consistency allowing it to flow under its own weight without vibration and making ... -
Bond Behaviour of Beams Reinforced with Near Surface Mounted Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer Rods under Fatigue Loading
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-19)Over the past decade, extensive research has been conducted on the strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) structures using externally bonded fibre reinforced polymer (FRP). More recently, near-surface mounted (NSM) FRP ... -
Bond Behaviour of Concrete Beams with Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer Bars Under Fatigue Loading
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-17)Since the 1980s and after the aerospace industries faced several periods of economic difficulty, the companies that produced fibre-reinforced polymers (FRPs) started to introduce them as new materials for construction ... -
Bond Behaviour of Corroded and CFRP Repaired RC Beams Subjected to Monotonic and Repeated Loading
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-27)All reinforced concrete (RC) design theories are based on the assumption that concrete exhibits a perfect bond with the steel reinforcement. The bond between steel and concrete is essential to the transfer of the load ... -
Bond of Corroded Reinforcement in Partial Depth Repairs in Reinforced Concrete Elements
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-29)The bond in a reinforcement concrete (RC) structure is represented by the force transfer between the reinforcing bar and the surrounding concrete. All the RC structures are designed to have a perfect bond between the ... -
Bonding of Glass-to-Glass for the Development of Ultrafast Microchip Lasers
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-21)Direct glass-to-glass bonding is important for high-technology components in optics, microfluidics, and microelectromechanical systems applications. The focus of this research is on the design of an ultrafast, pulsed, ... -
Bone health in adults with epilepsy
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-30)Epilepsy has been associated with an increased fracture risk by various studies in the literature. This is attributed to the decreased bone mineral density (BMD) linked to the anti–epileptic drugs (AEDs) that are used to ... -
Boneh-Boyen Signatures and the Strong Diffie-Hellman Problem
(University of Waterloo, 2009-01-22)The Boneh-Boyen signature scheme is a short signature scheme which is provably secure in the standard model under the q-Strong Diffie-Hellman (SDH) assumption. The primary objective of this thesis is to examine the ... -
Bootstrapping Quantum Field Theories
(University of Waterloo, 2024-01-23)This thesis compiles a few developments on the S-matrix bootstrap, conformal field theory, and integrability in N = 4 SYM. After an introduction contextualizing the various works that compose this thesis, we present a ... -
Bootstrapping Secure Multicast using Kerberized Multimedia Internet Keying
(University of Waterloo, 2012-04-24)We address bootstrapping secure multicast in enterprise and public-safety settings. Our work is motivated by the fact that secure multicast has important applications in such settings, and that the application setting ... -
BORDERLINES
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-17)This thesis paper is the supporting document for an exhibition that was held at the University of Waterloo art Gallery. The show consisted of a series of large scale acrylic paintings on canvas. Through my paintings I ... -
Borders & Barricades: A Study of the Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill Movement in Hong Kong
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-26)Amidst the global rise of resistance against crises and discontent, space performs an elementary role in pursuing changes to the status quo. Hong Kong’s administrative boundaries have been in continuous shifts throughout ... -
Boredom and Motivation: From Anxious Uncertainty and Low Approach Motivation to Low Self-Control
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-30)Across two studies, this research investigated trait (Study 1 and 2) and state (Study 2) level variation in anxious uncertainty and approach motivation as motivational substrates of boredom. It further tested a series of ... -
Born Geometry
(University of Waterloo, 2020-04-21)In this thesis, we summarize the work which we authored or co-authored during our PhD studies and also present additional details and ideas that are not found elsewhere. The main topic is the study of T-duality in theoretical ... -
Born Reciprocal Representations of the Quantum Algebra
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-26)This thesis addresses the representations of the Weyl algebra of quantum mechanics with an explicitly Born reciprocal structure and the dynamics of physical systems in these representations. In this context, we discuss ... -
Borrowers and Bullies
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-17)Borrowers and Bullies is an exhibition of sculpture, installation, and video. I was highly impacted throughout the making of this work by the Covid-19 pandemic, which began immediately preceding my acceptance into the UW ... -

Bosonic fields in strong-field gravity
(University of Waterloo, 2023-07-19)In this thesis, we investigate bosonic fields in the strong-field and highly dynamical regime of general relativity focusing specifically on the black hole superradiance process of scalar and vector fields, as well as on ...
