Growth and Characterization of epitaxial FeCo/MgO/EuS Magnetic Tunnel Junctions on MgO buffered (100)-Si
(University of Waterloo, 2016-04-15)In the last few decades, due to the dramatic improvement of the TMR (tunneling magnetoresistance) effect in MTJs (Magnetic Tunnel Junctions), the data storage industry has been revolutionized. There are so many applications ... -
Growth and regulatory metabolism of cellulose-utilizing thermophilic Caldicellulosiruptor species
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-19)Hydrogen biofuels have been proposed as an environmentally-friendly and renewable energy substitute for petroleum-based fossil fuels. One species of bacteria capable of degrading cellulosic materials and producing vast ... -
Growth Appropriate Planning in Canada: What factors lead to the implementation of progressive planning and economic development policy in Canadian Communities?
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-27)ABSTRACT A key feature of Canada’s urban system is the uneven distribution of population and economic growth. The 2011 Census showed that in the past five years more than 80% of the country’s growth was concentrated in ... -
Growth Control and Manipulation of Morphology, Crystallinity, and Physical Properties of Tin (IV) Oxide Nanostructures: Granular Nanocrystalline Films and One-Dimensional Nanostructures
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-30)A variety of nanostructures of tin (IV) oxide (TO) are synthesized using two fabrication methods: a solution spin-coating method followed by post-annealing in an oxygen flow and a newly developed catalyst-assisted pulsed ... -
Growth of graded quantum wells for THz polaritonics
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-02)Rectangular quantum wells have long dominated the landscape of layered nanostructures. They exhibit a rich variety of physics and can be reliably grown with techniques such as molecular beam epitaxy. Rectangular wells ... -
Growth of rainbow darter (Etheostoma caeruleum) in the Grand River watershed
(University of Waterloo, 2020-11-27)Assessment of growth is an important tool in fisheries assessment and management and provides valuable insight into biological responses to stressors in biomonitoring programs. A small-bodied fish species, rainbow darter ... -
Growth of Silicon Nanowire Mechanical Oscillators for Force-Detected Magnetic Resonance Measurements
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-19)This thesis describes two ways to grow silicon nanowires with the catalyst gold (Au) by Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) system. One way to prepare catalyst is drop-casting gold nanoparticles solution, the other is making ... -
Gröbner Bases Theory and The Diamond Lemma
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Commutative Gröbner bases theory is well known and widely used. In this thesis, we will discuss thoroughly its generalization to noncommutative polynomial ring <em>k</em><<em>X</em>> which is also an associative free ... -
GRS: Combining Generation and Revision in Unsupervised Sentence Simplification
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-30)Text simplification is a task in the natural language processing field that alters a given text to reduce the structural and lexical complexity of the text while preserving the underlying meaning. We can classify existing ... -
Guarded Evaluation: An Algorithm for Dynamic Power Reduction in FPGAs
(University of Waterloo, 2012-04-25)Guarded evaluation is a power reduction technique that involves identifying sub-circuits (within a larger circuit) whose inputs can be held constant (guarded) at specific times during circuit operation, thereby reducing ... -
Guidance Under Uncertainty: Employing a Mediator Framework in Bilateral Incomplete-Information Negotiations
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-24)Bilateral incomplete-information negotiations of multiple issues present a difficult yet common negotiation problem that is complicated to solve from a mechanism design perspective. Unlike multilateral situations, where ... -
