Tuning Cation and Anion Redox Chemistry in Transition Metal Oxide Positive Electrode Materials for Lithium and Sodium-Ion Batteries
(University of Waterloo, 2021-03-31)The surging demand for electrified transportation (both ground and air), robots, and other battery-powered devices has driven the development of electrochemical energy storage systems that can provide high gravimetric/volumetric ... -
Tuning Monuments
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-25)This thesis examines the development of historically inaccurate monuments that censor and sanitize reality by questioning their ongoing legacies by using a derivative of counter monument culture. Tuning Monuments seeks to ... -
Tunnel Ionization in Strong Fields in atoms and molecules and its applications
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-26)We look at the theory of ionization of atoms and molecules in the presence of a strong laser field. The history of ionization of atoms is reviewed and the methods used to calculate the ionization rates are examined in ... -
Tunneling Transport and Spectroscopy of Two-Dimensional Magnetic Materials
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-24)The recent discoveries of magnetism in the single atomic layer have opened up a new direction for two-dimensional (2D) materials research. In this thesis, two types of magnetic materials are investigated: chromium trihalides ... -
Turbulence in stably stratified boundary layers
(University of Waterloo, 2020-11-26)In this thesis, turbulence dynamics for a stably stratified boundary layer is studied. The processes by which stable boundary layers are formed through strong surface cooling imposed on neutrally stratified wall-bounded ... -
Turbulence structures in isolated pool-riffle units
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-28)The macroscale morphology of a river has significant effects on sediment transport, flow pattern, bed stability, and ecosystem function. Pools and riffles, which are respectively the deeper and shallower parts of the bed, ... -
Turbulent Drag Reduction by Polymers, Surfactants and Their Mixtures in Pipeline Flow
(University of Waterloo, 2011-11-24)lthough extensive research work has been carried out on the drag reduction behavior of polymers and surfactants alone, little progress has been made on the synergistic effects of combined polymers and surfactants. A number ... -
Turf & Twig
(University of Waterloo, 2014-04-25)In Turf & Twig solitary figures are depicted at the boundaries of salable land, performing surreal and fruitless tasks. The objects they interact with recall a manufactured domesticity that seems displaced and almost ... -
Turning Open Government Data Portals into Interactive Databases
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-21)The launch of open governmental data portals (OGDPs), such as data.gov, data.gov.in, and open.canada.ca, have popularized the open data movement of the last decade, which now includes numerous other portals from other ... -
Turning Point for Transformation? Investigating a Local Decarbonization Initiative in Waterloo Region, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-15)Canada is a world leader - in burning fossil fuels. Canadians produce more tonnes of CO2 per capita than almost any nation on earth. Canada’s GHG emissions are part of a global problem. There is international consensus ... -
Turning to the Source: Assessing the Evidence Sources Used to Describe the Potential Human Health Impacts of Wind Turbines by Public Health Organization Websites and Community Group Websites Using a Social Network Analysis Approach
(University of Waterloo, 2018-06-11)Introduction: Wind turbines are a source of renewable energy that has become more common in Canada in the past decades. Concerns have been raised over potential adverse health effects from exposure to wind turbines, ... -
Turnpike Property for Generalized Linear-Quadratic Optimal Control Problem
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-28)The turnpike phenomenon describes the long time behavior of optimally controlled systems whose optimal trajectories over a sufficiently large time horizon stay for most of the time close to a prescribed trajectory of the ... -
Twinning: An Exhibition of Video and Sculpture
(University of Waterloo, 2016-05-05)Marianne Burlew’s installation Twinning affords space for contemplating our body’s unique sensory knowledge and its role in mediating perception. The exhibition consists of four stations that present sculpture in the form ... -
Twisted Holography: The Examples of 4d and 5d Chern-Simons Theories
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-29)Twisted holography is a duality between a twisted supergravity, and a twisted supersymmetric gauge theory living on the D-branes in the supergravity. The main objectives of this duality is the comparison between the algebra ... -
TwitSong: A current events computer poet and the thorny problem of assessment.
(University of Waterloo, 2018-11-29)This thesis is driven by the question of how computers can generate poetry, and how that poetry can be evaluated. We survey existing work on computer-generated poetry and interdisciplinary work on how to evaluate this type ... -
Two Affine Scaling Methods for Solving Optimization Problems Regularized with an L1-norm
(University of Waterloo, 2010-09-30)In finance, the implied volatility surface is plotted against strike price and time to maturity. The shape of this volatility surface can be identified by fitting the model to what is actually observed in the market. The ... -
Two Coalitional Models for Network Formation and Matching Games
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-23)This thesis comprises of two separate game theoretic models that fall under the general umbrella of network formation games. The first is a coalitional model of interaction in social networks that is based on the idea ... -
Two combinatorial problems from craniosynostosis
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-08)The art of cranial vault remodelling surgery is amazing and fascinating, but remains much of that, an art, to this day. In this thesis, we provide two mathematical approaches to tackle cranial vault remodelling surgery, ... -
