Transition Galaxies: The Evolution of Environmental Quenching
(University of Waterloo, 2021-05-28)We study the evolution of environmental quenching using a photometric selection of transition galaxies in GOGREEN- which encompasses clusters between 1<z<1.5 spanning a wide range in halo mass. We split the galaxies in ... -
Transition Matrix Monte Carlo Methods for Complex Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-15)The aim of this thesis is to develop efficient transition matrix Monte Carlo simulation methods for complex systems(e.g., spin glasses) that enable one to construct the transition matrix from which the density of states ... -
Transition to light-like trajectories in thin shell dynamics
(Elsevier, 2018-11)It was recently shown that a massive thin shell that is sandwiched between a flat interior and an exterior geometry given by the outgoing Vaidya metric becomes null in a finite proper time. We investigate this transition ... -
Transport and Retention of Particulate Organic Matter in Riverbed Sediments: Laboratory Experiments and Modelling
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-22)Infiltration of river water into riverbeds can deliver particulate organic matter (POM: the remains of plants, algae, and other life), which has an important role for transforming nutrients in watersheds. Once POM is ... -
Transport of chloride and deuterated water in peat: The role of anion exclusion, diffusion, and anion adsorption in a dual porosity organic media
(Elsevier, 2019-08)The dual-porosity structure of peat and the extremely high organic matter content give rise to a complex medium that typically generates prolonged tailing and early 50% concentration breakthrough in the breakthrough curves ... -
Treatment of a PHC Source Zone using Land Application of Sulfate
(University of Waterloo, 2015-02-23)This pilot-scale experiment was performed in the sand pit area at the University of Waterloo Groundwater Research Facility at CFB Borden located near Alliston, ON. A multicomponent PHC source zone (3 m x 3 m) was emplaced ... -
Treatment of Water-borne Nutrients, Pathogens, and Pharmaceutical Compounds using Basic Oxygen Furnace Slag
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-27)Phosphorus (P) is one of the essential nutrients for living organisms; however, excess P in aquatic systems often causes environmental and ecological problems including eutrophication. Removal of P from domestic wastewater, ... -
Trophic disruption effects on the diet and condition of Lake Whitefish
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-18)Recently, the growth and condition of Lake Whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis), an important commercial fishery commodity, has declined in some areas of the Great Lakes. As Lake Whitefish are benthic feeders, historically ... -
THE TULU KAPI GOLD DEPOSIT OF THE WESTERN ETHIOPIAN SHIELD: STRUCTURAL FRAMEWORK, U-PB ZIRCON GEOCHRONOLOGY AND PARAGENESIS
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-10)Gold production dates back millennia in the Arabian Nubian Shield. Most of the mined deposits are in the northern portions of the shield, with little know about its southern extent. Tulu Kapi is a rare example of a gold ... -
Tunable Coupler in Superconducting Circuits and Impedance Engineering for Josephson Parametric Amplifier
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-04)In this thesis, we study two topics on superconducting circuits. The first topic is the tunable coupler for resonators. This coupler is implemented with a superconducting circuit coupling with resonators in the dispersive ... -
Tunable covalent organic framework electrochemiluminescence from non-electroluminescent monomers
(Elsevier, 2021-10)It is hard to find new electrochemiluminescence (ECL) luminophores using existing research strategies, especially from ECL non-active monomers. Here, fully conjugated covalent organic frameworks with trithiophene (BTT-COFs) ... -
Tunable three-body interactions between superconducting flux qubits for quantum annealing
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-03)The field of quantum information has been a fast growing field of research in the last few decades. The reason for this development is the potentially immense power of quantum computers, capable of solving hard problems ... -
Tunable Two-Color Ultrafast Yb:Fiber Chirped Pulse Amplifier: Modeling, Experiment, and Application in Tunable Short-Pulse Mid-Infrared Generation
(University of Waterloo, 2013-10-04)In this thesis, I have developed a tunable two-color two-stage ultrafast Yb:fiber chirped pulse amplifier for the generation of short-pulse mid-infrared (MIR) radiation in the long-wavelength side of the "molecular ... -
Tuneable Hybrid and Multimode Squeezed States of Light
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-03)Gaussian quantum states of light have many applications in quantum technologies. Two of the most widely used Gaussian quantum states of light are the single- and two-mode squeezed states. In this thesis, we propose the ... -
Tuning Cation and Anion Redox Chemistry in Transition Metal Oxide Positive Electrode Materials for Lithium and Sodium-Ion Batteries
