Techniques for Coherent Control of Effective Photon-Photon Interactions at Low Light Levels
(University of Waterloo, 2019-02-01)This thesis proposes improvements on techniques for the coherent control of photon-photon interactions mediated by a cloud of cold atoms. Atoms cooled and trapped in a MOT can be loaded into a hollow, photonic crystal ... -
Techniques for creating ground-truthed sketch corpora
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-26)The problem of recognizing handwritten mathematics notation has been studied for over forty years with little practical success. The poor performance of math recognition systems is due, at least in part, to a lack of ... -
Techniques for Improving Numerical Secret Key Rates of Quantum Key Distribution Protocols
(University of Waterloo, 2023-10-24)Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a method for producing secure keys between two parties whose security does not rely on computational assumptions potentially breakable by quantum computers. However, physical constraints, ... -
Techniques for Proving Approximation Ratios in Scheduling
(University of Waterloo, 2010-09-30)The problem of finding a schedule with the lowest makespan in the class of all flowtime-optimal schedules for parallel identical machines is an NP-hard problem. Several approximation algorithms have been suggested for ... -
Techniques for Quantum Computing
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-21)This thesis is about techniques for quantum computing. A common theme throughout this work is the examination of how quantum algorithms and protocols might be implemented in practice. I explore this question at the level ... -
Techniques in operator algebras: classification, dilation and non-commutative boundary theory
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-11)In this thesis we bring together several techniques in the theory of non-self-adjoint operator algebras and operator systems. We begin with classification of non-self-adjoint and self-adjoint operator algebras constructed ... -
Techniques of Side Channel Cryptanalysis
(University of Waterloo, 2001)The traditional model of cryptography examines the security of cryptographic primitives as mathematical functions. This approach does not account for the physical side effects of using these primitives in the real world. ... -
The Techno-Economic Potential of Power to Gas for Synthetic Natural Gas Production through Biogas Upgrading
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-28)Raw biogas can be upgraded to produce pipeline grade synthetic natural gas (SNG) via thermo-catalytic hydrogenation of CO2. This method reduces green house gas (GHG) emissions through offsetting fossil natural gas consumption ... -
Techno-Economic Study of CO<sub>2</sub> Capture from Natural Gas Based Hydrogen Plants<br><br>
(University of Waterloo, 2006)As reserves of conventional crude oil are depleted, there is a growing need to develop unconventional oils such as heavy oil and bitumen from oil sands. In terms of recoverable oil, Canadian oil sands are considered to ... -
Techno-Economic Study of CO<sub>2</sub> Capture Process for Cement Plants
(University of Waterloo, 2005)Carbon dioxide is considered to be the major source of GHG responsible for global warming; man-made CO<sub>2</sub> contributes approximately 63. 5% to all greenhouse gases. The cement industry is responsible for ... -
Techno-Economic Study of Renewable Energy Integration in the Upstream Oil Supply Chain (USOSC)
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-21)The production of oil requires tremendous amounts of energy consumption through a distributed combustion network of processes along the oil supply chain spectrum. The consequences of fossil-based fuel combustion processes ... -
The Techno-Inclusive Model of Disability: Motivations, Influences, and Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-03)In this thesis, I advance a techno-inclusive model of disability. I motivate the need for a techno-inclusive model by looking at the current state of affairs for both assistive technology and disability theory respectively. ... -
Techno-Utopia/ Techno-Dystopia: Writing the Future of Cyber-Technology
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-13)Will cyberspace ever become truly inhabitable, and if so, what kind of political climate will be present there? By investigating emergent discourses surrounding the future of cyber-technology, I reveal how online users ... -
Technologies of Identity: A Queer Media Archaeology
(University of Waterloo, 2019-12-16)This dissertation explores how queer people use media technology to make and construe their identities through a series of cases extending from the Victorian era to the present day. Each case is driven by three interlocking ... -
Technology and Strategic Management Decision-Making as a Constrained Shortest Path Problem
(University of Waterloo, 2008-12-22)A constrained shortest path algorithm is developed and implemented in Matlab to optimize the management decision-making process, which is a potential tool for managers. An empirical analysis is performed using Statistics ... -
Technology Diffusion on Spiders
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-29)There has been significant research about cascade effects that occur when information is spread through a network. Most models of such cascade effects are highly-localised, which means that they assume a node’s behaviour ... -
Technology-Scanning Capability and Market-Scanning Capability as Drivers of Product Innovation Performance
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-26)Changing trends in customer preference, competitors’ offerings, new technologies and development techniques may disrupt a firm from its current leading market position and may favor other firms that prioritize innovation. ... -
Tectonic Stresses and Injection-Induced Fault Slip Assessment
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-14)Understanding the Earth's stress state at depth is fundamental to a wide variety of subsurface projects, ranging from seismology projects to studies on underground energy storage or extraction. The primary objectives of ... -
Teleportation: The Possible Leap
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-19)This thesis tells a story, inviting its audience into a parallel world, existing somewhere in my imagination, where human teleportation becomes real and gradually becomes the most prevalent method of transportation. ... -
Television in Literature
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-31)In this master thesis I discuss a topic which is highly neglected. We do see people reading all the time. When we see a person holding a book in his or her hands in the bus, we associate this person as being smart and ...
