Automated Synthesis of Timed and Distributed Fault-Tolerant Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-21)This dissertation concentrates on the problem of automated synthesis and repair of fault-tolerant systems. In particular, given the required specification of the system, our goal is to synthesize a fault-tolerant system, ... -
Developing Novel Synthetic Methodologies Using Hypervalent Iodine(III) Reagents and Diazonium- or Iodonium Ylides
(University of Waterloo, 2018-02-14)Hypervalent iodine compounds have been established as useful reagents in synthetic chemistry due to their ease of handling and wide range of chemical reactivity under mild reaction conditions. Reported within are studies ... -
Fabrication and Characterization of Nanowires and Quantum Dots for Advanced Solar Cell Architectures
(University of Waterloo, 2012-05-01)The commercially available solar cells suffer from low conversion efficiency due to the thermalization and transmission losses arising from the mismatch between the band gap of the semiconductor materials and the solar ... -
Investigations on Colloidal Synthesis of Copper Nanoparticles in a Two-phase Liquid-liquid System
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-23)Synthesis of copper nanoparticles by a colloidal recipe in a two-phase liquid-liquid mixture (toluene/water) was investigated. The synthesis recipe used in this work was originally applied for the fabrication of alkylamine-capped ... -
A Puzzle-Based Synthesis Algorithm For a Triple Intersection of Schubert Varieties
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-29)This thesis develops an algorithm for the Schubert calculus of the Grassmanian. Specifically, we state a puzzle-based, synthesis algorithm for a triple intersection of Schubert varieties. Our algorithm is a reformulation ... -
Synthesis and Characterization of Ethylene Carbonate Modified Polyisobutylene Succinimide Dispersants
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-19)Succinimide-based dispersants are the most commonly used dispersants in the oil industry. They are used in engine oil to prevent the aggregation of carbon-rich particles generated during engine operation, and consequently ...
