Governing the Ban: The Canadian Security Certificate Initiative and management of non-citizen terror threats
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-02)Security certificates were designed to act as orders for the immediate detention and expedited deportation of persons deemed to be threats to national security. Legislated during the Cold War when espionage was a heightened ... -
Governing the “Government Party”: Liberal Party of Canada Leadership Conventions of 1948, 1958 and 1968
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-30)During the twentieth century, as Canadian voters began to associate the brand of their major political parties with the characteristics of their leaders, the Liberal Party of Canada’s leadership races evolved into events ... -
GPCR and RTK Regulation in Neurons: The Impact of Stress on GPCR and RTK signalling and Crosstalk
(University of Waterloo, 2020-04-14)Crosstalk between receptors allows for the integration of diverse and complex signalling pathways. Transactivation is a form of crosstalk between G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) and receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). ... -
GPU Wavefront Splitting for Safety-Critical Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2022-10-07)Graphics processing units (GPUs) are compute platforms that are ideal for highly parallel workloads due to their high degree of hardware parallelism. Parallelism offered by GPUs lends itself well to machine learning and ... -
The GR3 Method for the Stress Analysis of Weldments
(University of Waterloo, 2009-10-02)Determination of the fatigue life of a component requires knowledge of the local maximum fluctuation stress and the through-thickness stress distribution acting at the critical cross-section. This has traditionally been ... -
Grading Light: Utilizing plastic deformation to functionally grade ceramic light screens
(University of Waterloo, 2021-12-23)When interacting with light, surface geometries and clay bodies can work together to heighten the perception of depth and alter illumination. This thesis investigates how clay 3D printing can generate materially responsive ... -

Gradual C Programming for Typed Lua
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-22)The work presented in this thesis deals with the problem of enhancing the performance of dynamically-typed programming languages by integrating features from statically-typed programming languages. Statically-typed languages ... -
A Gradual Non-Convexation Penalty Method for Minimizing VaR
(University of Waterloo, 2012-05-08)This thesis investigates the portfolio optimization problem using Value-at-Risk (VaR) as a risk measure, when m sample scenarios are given. Minimizing VaR of a portfolio is computationally difficult: it is non-convex, ... -
Gradual Pluggable Typing in Java
(University of Waterloo, 2016-04-27)Gradual typing provides the ability to safely mix untyped or dynamically typed code with statically typed code while maintaining, within the statically typed portion, the guarantees claimed by the static typing. It is ... -
Graft mechanical compliance in vascular patency
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-26)With the growing age of average population throughout the world, progress of biomaterials research is important to overcome current limitations. Vascular graft is one of the examples. Currently, synthetic vascular grafts ... -
Graft Polymers: From Dendrimer Hybrids to Latex Particles
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-28)The research presented focused on the synthesis and the characterization of graft polymers, of interest either as model systems or for large-scale applications. The materials selected as substrates for grafting reactions ... -
Grafted polymer monolayer brush as electron beam resist
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-11)This thesis focuses on the nanofabrication process using novel electron beam resists. First, in Chapter 3 and Chapter 4, the nanofabrication process using grafted polymer monolayer brush as e-beam resist was examined. ... -
Grafting Maple with Cedar
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-26)Canada’s metaphor for integrating immigrants is the mosaic —vividly colored pieces of ethnicity, culture, racial identity, and language planted side by side, and in contrast to the melting pot of the American states, ... -
Grammar-Based Representations of Large Sparse Binary Matrices
(University of Waterloo, 2016-10-26)Large sparse matrices representation is a fundamental problem in big data processing and analysis. In some applications dealing with large sparse matrices, the I/O of these sparse matrices is the bottleneck of the whole ... -
Grammatical Functions and Possibilistic Reasoning for the Extraction and Representation of Semantic Knowledge in Text Documents
(University of Waterloo, 2007-12-05)This study seeks to explore and develop innovative methods for the extraction of semantic knowledge from unlabelled written English documents and the representation of this knowledge using a formal mathematical expression ... -
The Grange Hotel: Everyday Leisure in the Grange Neighbourhood
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-07)The modern metropolis offers a wide variety of experiences to enrich our everyday life. Beyond meeting our daily needs, such a rich and diverse city is a complex system of urban phenomena that also satisfies our need for ... -
Granger Causal Network Learning and the Depth Wise Grouped LASSO
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-31)In this thesis we study the notion of Granger-causality, a statistical concept originally developed to estimate causal effects in econometrics. First, we suggest a more general notion of Granger-causality in which to frame ... -
Granular Activated Carbon for the Removal of Seasonally Present Microcystin-LR
(University of Waterloo, 2017-04-20)Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is a potent hepatotoxin, produced by cyanobacteria. MC-LR is the most commonly regulated cyanotoxin. MC-LR typically occurs seasonally in late summer in temperate regions, such as the North American ... -
