1H MAS NMR Study of Water on Pd-MCM-41
(University of Waterloo, 2015-06-18)Hydrogen spillover represents one of the most promising avenues to achieve hydrogen storage at the density required for transportation applications. The spillover phenomenon, however, is a topic of much debate, with many ... -
A 2-Approximation for the Height of Maximal Outerplanar Graph Drawings
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-18)In this thesis, we study drawings of maximal outerplanar graphs that place vertices on integer coordinates. We introduce a new class of graphs, called umbrellas, and a new method of splitting maximal outerplanar graphs ... -
2-crossing critical graphs with a V8 minor
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-17)The crossing number of a graph is the minimum number of pairwise crossings of edges among all planar drawings of the graph. A graph G is k-crossing critical if it has crossing number k and any proper subgraph of G has a ... -
The 2006 Russia-Ukraine Natural Gas Dispute: A mechanisms based approach
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-26)This thesis addresses the factors which lead the Russian government to increase natural gas prices for Ukraine in 2006. Through the use of methodological individualism, an explanation which links system, state, and ... -
The 2009 H1N1 Health Sector Pandemic Response in Remote and Isolated First Nation Communities of Sub-Arctic Ontario, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2011-05-26)On June 11, 2009, the World Health Organization declared a global influenza pandemic due to a novel influenza A virus subtype of H1N1. Public health emergencies, such as an influenza pandemic, can potentially impact ... -
22-32 GHz Low-Noise Amplifier Design in 22-nm CMOS-SOI Technology
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-29)This thesis explores the use of a 22-nm CMOS-SOI technology in the design of a two-stage amplifier which targets wide bandwidth, low noise and modest linearity in the 28 GHz band. A design methodology with a ... -
27 Stories
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-20)Invisible Cities is Italo Calvino’s description, in fifty-five stories of fifty-five cities, of the travels of Marco Polo. Each city is fictitious, but collectively they make up Marco Polo’s Venice. A city is distinct; ... -
2D Digital Filter Implementation on a FPGA
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-31)The use of two dimensional (2D) digital filters for real-time 2D data processing has found important practical applications in many areas, such as aerial surveillance, satellite imaging and pattern recognition. In the ... -
3-D Reconstruction from Single Projections, with Applications to Astronomical Images
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-23)A variety of techniques exist for three-dimensional reconstruction when multiple views are available, but less attention has been given to reconstruction when only a single view is available. Such a situation is normal in ... -
