Gender and Physically Active Leisure: Testing Constraints as Mechanism
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-26)Most adults fail to achieve the minimum amount of exercise for an active lifestyle (Troiano et al., 2008), which is at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity exercise or 75 minutes per week of vigorous-intensity ... -
Addressing cumulative effects in the context of sustainability and co-governance in Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in traditional territory, Yukon
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-26)Cumulative effects and impacts associated with non-renewable resource development are issues of sustainability, with potentially significant implications over broad geographic and temporal scales. In Canada, Indigenous ... -
High-Performance Concurrent Memory Allocation
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-25)Memory management takes a sequence of program-generated allocation/deallocation requests and attempts to satisfy them within a fixed-sized block of memory while minimizing the total amount of memory used. A general-purpose ... -
A Network Integrated Design for Micro-scale Cloud Services
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-25)We present Falcon, network-integrated scheduler for micro-scale services. Falcon follows a centralized scheduler design to achieve high scheduling efficiency and leverages modern programmable switches to lower the scheduling ... -
Development of Needle Trap Devices for Particle Entrapment
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-25)The importance of studying particle-bound components in aerosol samples has been highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic, when people tried to stop the spread of droplet-bound viruses by wearing face masks. While the ... -
Impact of the Kenow wildfire on the form and mobility of particulate phosphorus in gravel-bed rivers at large basin scales: Implications for downstream propagation
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-25)Landscape disturbance by wildfire in forested source water regions can significantly accelerate fine sediment transport from hillslopes to receiving streams. The mobilization of fine sediment and associated nutrients, such ... -

(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-24)Our work aims to solve some of the most significant and fundamental theoretical problems involved in the current statistical modeling of stochastic processes in single-molecule experiments, for which a well recognized yet ... -
A study of cellulose nanocrystal reinforcing effect in polyurethane and vitrimer system
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-24)Nanocellulose-based composites and materials have received remarkable attention due to their high mechanical performance, low weight, and environmental friendliness. However, the compatibility between CNCs and polymer may ... -
3D GIS Modelling of Road and Building Material Stocks: A Case Study of Grenada
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-24)Recent years have witnessed significant material stock accumulation within built environments, resulting in substantial environmental issues, such as greenhouse gas emissions, toxic or harmful wastes, resource scarcity, ... -
All-or-Nothing Private Record Linkage over Streaming Data
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-24)The prevalence and increasing need for insights obtained from the collection of sensitive data gives rise to the problem of protecting the privacy of this data. The collection and storage of data can be distributed across ... -
Volumetric Weak Supervision for Semantic Segmentation
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-24)Semantic segmentation is a popular task in computer vision. Fully supervised methods are data hungry, they require pixel precise annotations for thousands of images. To reduce user annotation efforts, weak supervision for ... -
Food Access Barriers and Supports for Youth in Thunder Bay, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-24)The issue of youth food insecurity is examined in this thesis, in the context of a diverse urban centre which has a growing youth population and a high Indigenous presence. Literature review has identified gaps in academic ... -
Fisher-cetacean interactions in a coastal social-ecological system: Bycatch impacts on vulnerability and adaptation strategies for viability
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-24)This thesis aims to understand the critical linkages between cetacean bycatch and its impact on the vulnerability and viability of small-scale fisheries (SSF) communities. Cetacean bycatch is extremely complex, having ... -
Coding Strip: A Tool for Supporting Interplay within Abstraction Ladder for Computational Thinking
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-20)As technologies advance and play an increasingly larger role in our lives, computational thinking---the ability to understand computing concepts and procedures and their role in the tools we use---has become an important ... -
A Generalized Adversary Method for Quantum Query Complexity
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-20)Quantum query complexity measures the minimum number of queries a quantum algorithm needs to make to some input string to compute a function of that input. Query complexity models are widely used throughout quantum computing, ... -
Ice Flow Shift, Drumlin, and Bedrock Topography Effects on Glacial Dispersal from Kimberlites in the Lac de Gras Region, Northwest Territories, Canada
