The Instability of Mesoscale Jets in Idealized Two-Layer Models
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-06)The rotating shallow water (RSW) equations have been used extensively in oceanographic literature to model dynamical elements of the world’s oceans and atmosphere at large scales. The RSW model is a simple and useful model ... -
Institutional Arrangements for Composting and Compost Use in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-21)The staggering levels of growth and development resulting in a more populous and affluent society that Vietnam is experiencing have resulted in greater levels of consumption and environmental damage from agricultural ... -
Institutional Barriers and Enablers for Green Infrastructure Implementation: A Case-Study of the City of Brampton, Ontario, using the Institutional Analysis and Development framework.
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-26)Green infrastructure (GI) has increasingly being deliberated in the planning discourse for its multifunctionality and applicability to address a number of urban issues. However, despite the benefits, the mainstream use ... -
An Institutional Ethnography Inquiry into the Management of Anaphylaxis for Adolescents at-risk in Ontario Schools
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-31)In Ontario, Sabrina’s Law mandates that all school boards have anaphylaxis policies in place to protect at-risk students. Despite this law research has shown that within schools, the management of anaphylactic allergies ... -
Institutional Traps and Private Housing Sector Adaptation: A Case Study of the Bangkok Metropolitan Region
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-18)Southeast Asia is at particular risk of the impacts of climate change which is, and is predicted to continue, causing increased intensity and frequency of extreme weather events. Thailand is particularly vulnerable to ... -
Institutional-level Contributors to Inequality: The Existence and Impact of Gendered Wording within Job Advertisements
(University of Waterloo, 2010-06-08)The present research demonstrates a novel institutional-level contributor--that is, gendered wording used in job recruitment materials--that serves to perpetuate the status quo, keeping women underrepresented in traditionally ... -
Institutions, Theology, and the Language of Freedom in the Poetry and Prose of John Milton
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-20)Freedom is an essential topic in the writings of John Milton, but what he means by this term varies over the course of his career. Milton’s prose works centre on religious and political liberty, which explore how the ... -
An Instruction Scratchpad Memory Allocation for the Precision Timed Architecture
(University of Waterloo, 2012-12-18)This work presents a static instruction allocation scheme for the precision timed architecture’s (PRET) scratchpad memory. Since PRET provides timing instructions to control the temporal execution of programs, the objective ... -
Instrumental Landscapes: Sustainable Strategies for Wetland Development
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-25)As a result of widespread urban development over the past two decades, global wetlands are disappearing at an alarming rate. This thesis develops a series of strategies for protecting wetland ecosystems from the ecological ... -
Instrumental Matrix: Regenerative Systems in Hamilton, Ontario
(University of Waterloo, 2007-01-22)Positioned at the metaphysical divide between civilization and wilderness, this thesis investigates the potential for symbiotic relationships among cultural, ecological and industrial systems in an effort to suggest ... -
Instrumentation and Overall Evaluation of Perpetual and Conventional Flexible Pavement Designs
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-28)The perpetual structural pavement design is currently being explored for usage in Canada and worldwide. This thick structural design can provide many potential benefits but it also has associated costs. Cold Canadian winters ... -
Instruments
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-11)The Instruments installation represents the superimposition of two systems. The marketed elements that comprise the hegemony exerted by commodity culture are placed on top of the occult qabalistic Tree of Life. This ... -
Inszenierungen von Erinnerung und kollektivem Gedächtnis. Hermann Hesses <em>Das Glasperlenspiel</em> als Gedächtnisroman.
(University of Waterloo, 2005)This thesis examins various representations of individual memories and collective memory in Hermann Hesse?s <em>Das Glasperlenspiel</em> (1946). The analysis of Hermann Hesse?s novel basically pursues three different ... -
Integrability in AdS/CFT: Exacts Results for Correlation Functions
(University of Waterloo, 2012-06-14)We report on the first systematic study of correlation functions in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory using integrability techniques. In particular, we show how to compute three- and four- point functions of single-trace ... -
Integral Moments of Quadratic Dirichlet L-functions: A Computational Perspective
(University of Waterloo, 2010-04-27)In recent years, the moments of L-functions has been a topic of growing interest in the field of analytic number theory. New techniques, including applications of Random Matrix Theory and multiple Dirichlet series, have ... -
An Integral Projection Model for Giant Hogweed
(University of Waterloo, 2019-02-04)In this thesis I investigate the impact that the choice of model may have on predictions of giant hogweed population dynamics. It has been shown in two case studies that population growth rates predicted by matrix population ... -
Integrality theorems for symmetric instantons
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-05)Anti-self-dual (ASD) instantons on R4 are connections A on SU(N)-vector bundles with finite L2-norm and curvature satisfying the ASD equation. Solutions to this non-linear partial differential equation correspond to certain ... -
