Bodies in Parallax: Reframing the Cultural Experience of Miami Beach
(University of Waterloo, 2013-11-26)Parallax is integral to the conception of movement in modern architectural space. This research examines the role of architectural parallax in creating dynamic spaces that champion the primacy of perception to reinforce ... -
Body and Mind Shaped by Built Form: Experiences of Borobudur
(University of Waterloo, 2018-02-21)This thesis takes the form of a pilgrimage to the Buddhist temple of Borobudur in Indonesia to explore the relationship between spiritual practices and physical space, in particular analyses the relationships between ... -
Body Builder
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-25)My thesis is a critical essay thematically focused on the fate of the body in the postmodern condition. In this thesis a fundamental question is posed: What happens to the (postmodern) body under the double pressure of ... -
Body Mass Index and Missing Data: Examining the Levels, Patterns, and Impacts of Missing Data in a Large Cohort Study of Canadian Youth
(University of Waterloo, 2022-12-19)Missing data are generally unavoidable in survey-based research. Small amounts of random missingness may not pose significant problems; however, issues arise when data are missing in large proportions or when missingness ... -
Bohmian Mechanics: Towards Illuminating The Quantum Potential
(University of Waterloo, 2018-02-20)This thesis deals with the theoretical and experimental details of trying to understand and infer the quantum potential from Bohmian mechanics using Bohmian trajectories. In this work, some of the key components of the ... -
Bohmian Trajectories of the Two-Electron Helium Atom
(University of Waterloo, 2008-01-17)We introduce the de Broglie-Bohm causal interpreation of quantum mechanics and compare it to the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics, the Copenhagen interpretation. We examine the possibility of experimentally ... -
BOM removal by biofiltration- Developing a quantitative basis for comparison
(University of Waterloo, 2010-06-16)Biological filtration (Biofiltration) processes have been used first in Europe and then in North America for decades, however currently there is not a good overall parameter to guide biofiltration design and operation ... -
Bond and Development Length in Concrete Beams with Exposed Reinforcement
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-19)Corrosion of steel reinforcement in Ontario bridges is causing severe soffit spalling in many situations. These spalled areas are often located within the lap splices and curtailment zones of the primary reinforcement. ... -
Bond and Flexural Behaviour of Self Consolidating Concrete Beams Reinforced and Prestressed with FRP Bars
(University of Waterloo, 2013-04-29)Self consolidating concrete (SCC) is widely used in the construction industry. SCC is a high performance concrete with high workability and consistency allowing it to flow under its own weight without vibration and making ... -
Bond Behaviour of Beams Reinforced with Near Surface Mounted Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer Rods under Fatigue Loading
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-19)Over the past decade, extensive research has been conducted on the strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) structures using externally bonded fibre reinforced polymer (FRP). More recently, near-surface mounted (NSM) FRP ... -
Bond Behaviour of Concrete Beams with Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer Bars Under Fatigue Loading
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-17)Since the 1980s and after the aerospace industries faced several periods of economic difficulty, the companies that produced fibre-reinforced polymers (FRPs) started to introduce them as new materials for construction ... -
Bond Behaviour of Corroded and CFRP Repaired RC Beams Subjected to Monotonic and Repeated Loading
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-27)All reinforced concrete (RC) design theories are based on the assumption that concrete exhibits a perfect bond with the steel reinforcement. The bond between steel and concrete is essential to the transfer of the load ... -
Bond of Corroded Reinforcement in Partial Depth Repairs in Reinforced Concrete Elements
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-29)The bond in a reinforcement concrete (RC) structure is represented by the force transfer between the reinforcing bar and the surrounding concrete. All the RC structures are designed to have a perfect bond between the ... -
Bonding of Glass-to-Glass for the Development of Ultrafast Microchip Lasers
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-21)Direct glass-to-glass bonding is important for high-technology components in optics, microfluidics, and microelectromechanical systems applications. The focus of this research is on the design of an ultrafast, pulsed, ... -
Bone health in adults with epilepsy
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-30)Epilepsy has been associated with an increased fracture risk by various studies in the literature. This is attributed to the decreased bone mineral density (BMD) linked to the anti–epileptic drugs (AEDs) that are used to ... -
Boneh-Boyen Signatures and the Strong Diffie-Hellman Problem
(University of Waterloo, 2009-01-22)The Boneh-Boyen signature scheme is a short signature scheme which is provably secure in the standard model under the q-Strong Diffie-Hellman (SDH) assumption. The primary objective of this thesis is to examine the ... -
Bootstrapping Quantum Field Theories
(University of Waterloo, 2024-01-23)This thesis compiles a few developments on the S-matrix bootstrap, conformal field theory, and integrability in N = 4 SYM. After an introduction contextualizing the various works that compose this thesis, we present a ... -
Bootstrapping Secure Multicast using Kerberized Multimedia Internet Keying
(University of Waterloo, 2012-04-24)We address bootstrapping secure multicast in enterprise and public-safety settings. Our work is motivated by the fact that secure multicast has important applications in such settings, and that the application setting ... -
