Inorganic Phosphor Coatings for Ultraviolet Responsive Image Detectors
(University of Waterloo, 2000)Typical CCD digital imaging sensors are insensitive to ultraviolet ( UV ) radiation by virtue of the very shallow ( 2 nm ) penetration depth in silicon. This warrants the use of a post-packaging coating to up-covert the ... -
An Inquiry into Mental Variation
(University of Waterloo, 1995)Although there are both common and specialised senses of the term variation, (the OED lists dozens) there seems to be no well defined use of this term in philosophy. The main task of my thesis is to demonstrate that ... -
Insight into Quantitation of Solid-phase Microextraction
(University of Waterloo, 2016-07-21)Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) is a well-known sampling and sample preparation technique used for a wide variety of analytical applications. As there are various complex processes taking place at the time of extraction ... -
Insights into the metabolic regulation of insulin secretion using a metabolomics approach
(University of Waterloo, 2014-06-20)In the post genomic era, metabolomics, as an integrated part of system biology, offers a promising approach to identify biomarkers associated with diseases and hence has been widely used in disease diagnosis, toxicology, ... -
Insole Energy Harvesting
(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-10)Various energy harvesting techniques have been studied extensively to power portable devices. Each technique has proven to have advantages and disadvantages. Generating energy from human walking is an important energy ... -
Instabilities in Higher-Dimensional Theories of Gravity
(University of Waterloo, 2006)A number of models of nature incorporate dimensions beyond our observed four. In this thesis we examine some examples and consequences of classical instabilities that emerge in the higher-dimensional theories of gravity ... -
The Instability of Geophysical Flows: Two-layer Frontal Instabilities and Continuously Stratified Inertial Instabilities
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-11)This thesis examines the instabilities of idealized two layer fronts with vertically curved interfaces as well as the inertial instabilities of barotropic and baroclinic jets with background linear stratification. We ... -
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 ... -
