Grafted polymer monolayer brush as electron beam resist
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-11)This thesis focuses on the nanofabrication process using novel electron beam resists. First, in Chapter 3 and Chapter 4, the nanofabrication process using grafted polymer monolayer brush as e-beam resist was examined. ... -
Grafting Maple with Cedar
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-26)Canada’s metaphor for integrating immigrants is the mosaic —vividly colored pieces of ethnicity, culture, racial identity, and language planted side by side, and in contrast to the melting pot of the American states, ... -
Grammar-Based Representations of Large Sparse Binary Matrices
(University of Waterloo, 2016-10-26)Large sparse matrices representation is a fundamental problem in big data processing and analysis. In some applications dealing with large sparse matrices, the I/O of these sparse matrices is the bottleneck of the whole ... -
Grammatical Functions and Possibilistic Reasoning for the Extraction and Representation of Semantic Knowledge in Text Documents
(University of Waterloo, 2007-12-05)This study seeks to explore and develop innovative methods for the extraction of semantic knowledge from unlabelled written English documents and the representation of this knowledge using a formal mathematical expression ... -
The Grange Hotel: Everyday Leisure in the Grange Neighbourhood
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-07)The modern metropolis offers a wide variety of experiences to enrich our everyday life. Beyond meeting our daily needs, such a rich and diverse city is a complex system of urban phenomena that also satisfies our need for ... -
Granger Causal Network Learning and the Depth Wise Grouped LASSO
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-31)In this thesis we study the notion of Granger-causality, a statistical concept originally developed to estimate causal effects in econometrics. First, we suggest a more general notion of Granger-causality in which to frame ... -
Granular Activated Carbon for the Removal of Seasonally Present Microcystin-LR
(University of Waterloo, 2017-04-20)Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is a potent hepatotoxin, produced by cyanobacteria. MC-LR is the most commonly regulated cyanotoxin. MC-LR typically occurs seasonally in late summer in temperate regions, such as the North American ... -
Granular Filtration of Airborne NaCl Nanoparticles and Carbon Nanotubes
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-04)Filtration is one of the primary technologies for nanoparticle control. However, conventional filtration techniques are evaluated mostly for solid mass removal and do not show promising effectiveness for filtration of ... -
Granularity measures and complexity measures of partition-based granular structures
(Elsevier, 2019-01-01)Granular computing is an emerging field of study in which the complexity of problem solving is reduced through granulation. Researchers have proposed various granularity measures of partitions to quantify the effects of ... -
A graph based approach for formal verification of Galois field multipliers
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-22)Data transfer between devices has increased rapidly with improvements in technology and the internet. To protect data from hackers, data is encrypted using methods of cryptography. To make the process of encryption faster, ... -
Graph Locality Prefetcher for Graph Database
(University of Waterloo, 2015-04-30)This work presents a hardware prefetcher to improve the performance of accessing graph data representing large and complex networks. We represent complex networks as graphs, and queries amount to traversals on the graph. ... -
Graph-Based Model For Distribution Systems: Application To Planning Problem
(University of Waterloo, 2015-02-18)Distribution system engineers analyze distribution systems and operate them to minimize the costs of delivery of power while satisfying customers and imposed constraints such as voltage limits, congestion, system losses, ... -
