Fluid Identities Material Imagination and the Ritual of Water Collection at the Mineral Spring of Sofia
(University of Waterloo, 2011-01-18)How do we build for a specific place and culture in the age of globalization, where the notion of culture has become fluid and drawn from a multiplicity of locations? This thesis argues that rather than relying on ideologies ... -
Flume Construction and RFID Tracking Techniques for Fluvial Sediment Transport Studies
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-28)Sediment transport studies incorporating radio frequency identification (RFID) tracers are becoming a key component in understanding sediment transport dynamics due to the data they provide on spatial and temporal variability. ... -
Fluorescence and Adaptation of Color Images
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-26)Color plays a vitally important role in the world we live in. It surrounds us everywhere we go. Achromatic life, restricted to black, white and grey, is extremely dull. Color fascinates artists, for it adds enormously ... -
Fluorescently Labeled Latex Particles to Monitor Film Formation
(University of Waterloo, 2017-10-25)The influence of the length of an oligo(ethylene glycol) spacer (EGn, where n is the number of ethylene glycol units) in a 1-pyrenemethoxy-EGn methacrylate (PyEG-MA) monomer on the incorporation of the monomer into a ... -
Fluoride Removal from Contaminated Water by Limestone Reactor and Phosphate Rock Reactor
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-05)Fluorosis, which results in mottling of teeth enamel, softening of bones, ossification of tendons and ligaments, and even neurologic damage, is endemic in many mid-latitude regions. It is caused by the long-term ingestion ... -
Foam as a Vehicle for Nanoparticle Delivery in Unsaturated Porous Media
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-23)Accidental releases, spills, and leaks of petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs), such as gasoline and jet fuel, can result in subsurface contamination. PHCs that become entrapped as a residual light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) ... -
Focused Retrieval
(University of Waterloo, 2010-12-03)Traditional information retrieval applications, such as Web search, return atomic units of retrieval, which are generically called ``documents''. Depending on the application, a document may be a Web page, an email message, ... -
Focusing and Vertical Mode Scattering of the First Mode Internal Tide via Mesoscale Eddy Interactions
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-25)In this work we perform numerical experiments using the MITgcm to simulate the interaction of a mode-one internal tide with barotropic and baroclinic mode-one mesoscale eddies. We also employ the ray tracing equations to ... -
Focusing on Values and Ideals Decreased P3a Amplitude: A Confirmation of the Joint Subsystems Hypothesis
(University of Waterloo, 2017-11-21)Approach - avoidance dichotomy can be found in most of the major psychological theories concerned with motivation (Elliot, 1999). However, to date little is known about the effects that the underlying systems have on each ... -
Fold-and-thrust belt deformation of the Hongliuhe Group: a Permian tectonic closure record of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt, NW China
(University of Waterloo, 2011-05-20)The Early Permian strata of the Hongliuhe Group, NW China, experienced a thin-skinned fold-and-thrust belt style of deformation that recorded the final stages of amalgamation of the Beishan orogenic collage, a part of the ... -
Folding and Stability Studies on Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis-Associated apo Cu, Zn Superoxide dismutases
(University of Waterloo, 2009-10-05)Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a debilitating, incurable, neurodegenerative disease characterized by degradation of motor neurons leading to paralysis and ultimately death in ~3-5 years. Approximately 10% of ALS ... -
Folding and Unfolding
(University of Waterloo, 2001)The results of this thesis concern folding of one-dimensional objects in two dimensions: planar linkages. More precisely, a planar linkage consists of a collection of rigid bars (line segments) connected at their ... -
Folding Orthogonal Polyhedra
(University of Waterloo, 1999)In this thesis, we study foldings of orthogonal polygons into orthogonal polyhedra. The particular problem examined here is whether a paper cutout of an orthogonal polygon with fold lines indicated folds up into a simple ... -
Folly and Fire: A Space of Play in the Black Rock Desert
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-28)In Nevada’s Black Rock Desert, there is a city that appears for one week each year and then vanishes, leaving no trace of its existence except ruts in the dusty clay. The inhospitable, barren salt flat that the city is ... -
Food & Cultural Center, A New Model for Toronto's Shopping Center - A place for collective memories and un-heard stories of South Asian Immigrants & their future generations in Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-27)With the increase in global migration, the notion of cultural identity is now no longer attached to a single place or time and is a continuous process of re-making. This thesis investigates the role of art, craft, and ... -
Food Access Barriers and Supports for Youth in Thunder Bay, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-24)The issue of youth food insecurity is examined in this thesis, in the context of a diverse urban centre which has a growing youth population and a high Indigenous presence. Literature review has identified gaps in academic ... -
Food and the City: An Examination of the Role of Food in Local Neighbourhood Revitalization
(University of Waterloo, 2010-06-17)The majority of people in North America have lost not only the knowledge of how to successfully sustain themselves from the land but, even more troubling, the basic knowledge of where the food comes from, what real food ... -
Food for Thought:Reimagining the Ontario Food Terminal
(University of Waterloo, 2011-06-03)Toronto is experiencing a food renaissance. Although there has been a resurgence in the popularity of local food and specialty products, neither supermarkets nor farmers’ markets have adequately responded to meet the ... -
Food insecurity among University of Waterloo undergraduate students: Barriers, coping strategies, and perceived health and academic implications
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-23)Background: Food insecurity, which refers to uncertain or inadequate access to food due to financial constraints, represents a serious public health problem in Canada. Although post-secondary students may be vulnerable due ... -
Food insecurity in a tobacco growing region in Zambia
(University of Waterloo, 2022-11-29)Given increasing pressure from transnational corporations to increase tobacco production in sub-Saharan Africa, especially in contexts where food insecurity is prevalent, this study contributes to our understanding of how ...
