a-Si:H-Silicon Hybrid Low Energy X-ray Detector
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-15)Low energy X-ray (< 20 keV) detection is a key technological requirement in applications such as protein crystallography or diffraction imaging. Silicon based optical cameras based on CCDs or CMOS imaging chips coupled to ... -
A. Schopenhauer and F. Dostoevsky: Some Philosophical and Literary Parallels
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-29)This thesis juxtaposes the philosophical theories of Arthur Schopenhauer with themes and characters in Fyodor Dostoevsky's major fictional works of the middle post-Siberian period (1863-1871). Of particular interest is the ... -
AADT Estimation Models and Analytical Comparison of Pedestrian Safety Risk Evaluation Methods for Signalized Intersections
(University of Waterloo, 2021-01-13)Pedestrian road safety is a priority for Canadian municipalities due to the particularly large social and economic impact that pedestrian-vehicle collisions can have on society. There is a constant need to improve roads ... -
Ab Condita
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-21)Time and structure; expectation and construction; landscape and architecture; history and myth. The foundation is a joint which carries extraordinary potential to speak of the cultures that built it. This ... -
Abandoned Mid-Canada Radar Line Site 500 in the Western Hudson Bay region of sub-Arctic, Canada: A source of organochlorines for the people of Weenusk First Nation?
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-26)Interest in the presence of environmental contaminants in the Canadian arctic and sub-arctic arises in part over concerns that Aboriginal people residing in these regions continue to rely on subsistence harvesting. ... -
Abandoning Private Femininity: Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, the 1784 Westminster Election, and Its Implications for the History of Women in Politics
(University of Waterloo, 2022-04-26)My thesis argues that women had a powerful influence on politics long before the fight for suffrage in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and that the focus in political history on “high politics” has not ... -
ABCD and beyond: From grain merchants to agricultural value chain managers
(Canadian Food Studies, 2015-09-08)The world of agricultural commodity trading firms has changed over the years, although corporate concentration has long been a defining feature of this sector. The four dominant agricultural trading firms—the ABCDs (ADM, ... -
Abelian, amenable operator algebras are similar to C∗ -algebras
(Duke University Press, 2016-12)Suppose that H is a complex Hilbert space and that ℬ(H) denotes the bounded linear operators on H. We show that every abelian, amenable operator algebra is similar to a C∗-algebra. We do this by showing that if 𝒜⊆ℬ(H) is ... -
Abiotic controls of fine sediment on the form and mobility of phosphorus in a gravel-bed river during low flow
(University of Waterloo, 2018-06-18)Landscape scale disturbance in forested source water regions can accelerate the transfer of fine sediment and associated phosphorus (P) to receiving streams and degrade water quality in downstream environments for human ... -
Abiotic Stresses to Vegetation Re-establishment in a Cutover Bog Contaminated with Seawater
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Part of a cutover bog in Pokesudie Island, New Brunswick, Canada was contaminated with seawater and was still largely devoid of vegetation 5 years after the event and was consequently chosen for study. The study area ... -
Ablation loading and qudit measurements with barium ions
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-31)Barium is one of the best ions for performing quantum information in a trapped-ion system. Its long-lived metastable D5/2 state allows for some interesting quantum operations, including the current best state preparation ... -
Aboriginal participation in sport: Critical issues of race, culture and power.
(University of Waterloo, 2009-10-28)This study is a qualitative examination of my lived experiences and the lived experiences of my immediate family in sport. Using critical race theory (CRT) as my guiding theoretical framework, this research project answers ... -
Aboriginal Participation in Tourism Planning in British Columbia
(University of Waterloo, 2010-07-22)Tourism has been identified as a strategy for Indigenous communities worldwide to adopt in order to stimulate economic and social development. The goal of this research was to evaluate Aboriginal participation in tourism ... -
Above Bandgap Hyperpolarization Mechanism in Isotopically Purified Silicon and Optimal Bayesian Experiment Design for $T_1$ Estimation
(University of Waterloo, 2018-05-24)This thesis is concerned with the mechanism underlying the above bandgap illumination Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) of phosphorus donors in isotopically purified silicon-28. Two proposed DNP models are introduced and ... -
