Field-Sweep Control in Magnetic Resonance and k-space Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2019-10-30)In a general magnetic resonance experiment, resonant radiofrequency or microwave fields are applied to an ensemble of electron or nuclear spins to determine their magnetic interactions with their local environment. These ... -
Fine Motor Skills of Children With Amblyopia Improve Following Binocular Treatment
(Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, 2016-09-08)Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether reduced fine motor skills in children with amblyopia improve after binocular treatment and whether improvements are sustained once treatment has ceased. Methods: ... -
Fingerprinting and tracing the signature of basement-hosted unconformity-type uranium alteration through thick Quaternary tills: an example from the Thelon Basin, Nunavut
(University of Waterloo, 2016-05-17)The question of whether or not it is possible to trace the signature of alteration haloes surrounding deep-seated unconformity-type U mineralization through thick Quaternary tills is one of great importance for those ... -
Fingerprinting Quaternary Subglacial Processes on Hall Peninsula, Baffin Island, using Multiproxy Data
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-23)It is important to study subglacial environments in northern Canada for many reasons, such as to develop a more comprehensive understanding of glacial landscape development and to aid in mineral exploration. The purpose ... -
First Principles Simulations of Vibrationally Resolved Photodetachment Spectra of Select Biradicals
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-10)Nonadiabatic dynamical processes are ubiquitous in chemistry and biology. Such events are directly connected to the treatment of energetically close lying states which gives rise to strong vibronic interactions in which ... -
Fish (Oreochromis niloticus) as a Model of Refractive Error Development
(University of Waterloo, 2009-01-13)Myopia is a common ocular condition worldwide and the mechanism of myopia is still not clear. A number of animal models of myopia and refractive error development have been proposed. The fact that form deprivation myopia ... -
Fish communities near municipal wastewater discharges in the Grand River watershed
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-19)Municipal wastewater effluent (MWWE) has the potential for aquatic degradation, as it is the largest, per volume, anthropogenic discharge in Canada and other areas in the world. With an increasing population in many areas, ... -
Fish feeding variability over space and time in natural and regulated boreal rivers
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-20)Within the boreal region of Canada, river ecosystems are affected by naturally low flows in the summer months and hydropower operations, which can greatly influence the structure and function of river food webs. Few long-term ... -
Fixational eye movements in strabismic amblyopia
(University of Waterloo, 2013-04-29)Purpose: To test the hypothesis that the fixational stability (FS) of the amblyopic eye (AME) in strabismics will improve when binocular integration is enhanced through ocular alignment and inter-ocular suppression is ... -
Flag fault-tolerant error correction for cyclic CSS codes
(University of Waterloo, 2018-06-20)Fault-tolerant quantum error correction (FTEC) protocol is one of the most important components for a fault-tolerant simulation of a quantum circuit. It helps prevent error accumulation during the process which may cause ... -
Flag Fault-Tolerant Error Correction with Qudits
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-20)In this thesis, I explore fault-tolerant quantum error correction using qudits. I show that a specific flag-fault-tolerant procedure for the five-qubit code may be extended to work on the five qudit code for any prime ... -
Flags and Error Weight Parities: A Development of Fault-tolerant Quantum Computation with Few Ancillas
(University of Waterloo, 2021-10-13)In quantum computation, errors in a quantum circuit arising from its interaction with the environment is one of the biggest obstacles to building large-scale quantum computers. One way to deal with such errors is using ... -
A Flexible Synthesis of 68Ga-Labeled Carbonic Anhydrase IX (CAIX)-Targeted Molecules via CBT/1,2-Aminothiol Click Reaction
(MDPI, 2018-12-21)We herein describe a flexible synthesis of a small library of 68Ga-labeled CAIX-targeted molecules via an orthogonal 2-cyanobenzothiazole (CBT)/1,2-aminothiol click reaction. Three novel CBT-functionalized chelators (1–3) ... -
A flexible, scalable, and self-powered mid-infrared detector based on transparent PEDOT: PSS/graphene composite
(Elsevier, 2020-01)A flexible, self-powered and semi-transparent mid-infrared photodetector is demonstrated with graphene and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT: PSS) composite on poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) ... -
Flow Cytometry-Assisted Detection of Adenosine in Serum with an Immobilized Aptamer Sensor
(American Chemical Society, 2010-05-15)Aptamers are single-stranded nucleic acids that can selectively bind to essentially any molecule of choice. Because of their high stability, low cost, ease of modification, and availability through selection, aptamers hold ... -
Fluctuation correction for the critical transition of symmetric homopolymer blends
(AIP, 2017-07)Monte Carlo simulations are performed on structurally symmetric binary homopolymer blends over a wide range of invariant polymerization indexes, N. A finite-size scaling analysis reveals that certain critical exponents ... -
