Graphene Oxide Femto Gel Photodetector
(University of Waterloo, 2016-06-29)Due to its unique optical (electrical) properties such as wide-range absorbance of wavelength, and high carrier mobility, graphene becomes a promising candidate for photodetector devices. The ability to tune the band gap, ... -
Graphene travelling wave amplifier for integrated millimeter-wave/terahertz systems
(University of Waterloo, 2018-10-09)Terahertz (THz) technology offers exciting possibilities for various applications, including high resolution biomedical imaging, long-wavelength spectroscopy, security monitoring, communications, quality control, and process ... -
Graphene-Assisted Integrated Nonlinear Optics
(University of Waterloo, 2018-03-09)The unique linear and massless band structure of graphene in a purely two-dimensional Dirac fermionic structure has ignited intense research since the first monolayer graphene was isolated in the laboratory. Not only ... -
Graphene-based FET biosensors
(University of Waterloo, 2021-06-16)Graphene and graphene-based materials are highly attractive for field effect transistor (FET) applications because of their elevated theoretical charge carrier mobility. Graphene FETs (GFETs) are studied for biosensing ... -
Graphene-Based Nanophotonic Structures
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-31)Terahertz (THz) technology offers a rich playground for a vast number of research topics and applications. High resolution imaging for biomedical applications, long-wavelength spectroscopy for interstellar applications, ... -
Graphene-Wrapped Hierarchical TiO2 Nanoflower Composites with Enhanced Photocatalytic Performance
(University of Waterloo, 2014-04-23)Increasing energy demands as well as the depletion of traditional energy sources has led to the need for the development and improvement of energy conversion and storage technologies. Concerns regarding climate change and ... -
GraphflowDB: Scalable Query Processing on Graph-Structured Relations
(University of Waterloo, 2023-10-02)Finding patterns over graph-structured datasets is ubiquitous and integral to a wide range of analytical applications, e.g., recommendation and fraud detection. When expressed in the high-level query languages of database ... -
Graphical CSS Code Transformation Using ZX Calculus
(University of Waterloo, 2023-12-21)In this work, we present a generic approach to transform CSS codes by building upon their equivalence to phase-free ZX diagrams. Using the ZX calculus, we demonstrate diagrammatic transformations between encoding maps ... -
The Graphs of HU+00E4ggkvist & Hell
(University of Waterloo, 2009-01-19)This thesis investigates HU+00E4ggkvist & Hell graphs. These graphs are an extension of the idea of Kneser graphs, and as such share many attributes with them. A variety of original results on many different properties of ... -
Grappling on the Grain Belt: Wrestling in Manitoba to 1931
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-10)Abstract “Grappling on the Grain Belt: Wrestling in Manitoba to 1931,” explores the history of wrestling in the geographic region now demarcated as Manitoba, from the pre-Confederation period to the Great Depression, with ... -
Grating Technology and System Development for High-Resolution X-Ray Phase-Contrast Imaging
(University of Waterloo, 2023-02-16)X-ray imaging is a workhorse of medical imaging, and in particular, high-resolution X-ray imaging is used in the detection of carcinomas and micro-calcifications in the breast, small fractures, and early stages of cancerous ... -
Graveyard of Republics: An Analysis of Torture in Counterinsurgency
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-20)Counterinsurgency relies on the dual instruments of propaganda and coercion. If well balanced, these instruments may convince the civilian populace that the rebels cannot win; furthermore, the agenda of counterinsurgents ... -
Gravitational Thermodynamics: From Black Holes to Holography
(University of Waterloo, 2021-06-01)The subject of gravitational thermodynamics lies at the center of numerous fields of study, many of which may seem disconnected, yet have proven to be deeply entwined. This thesis examines two primary facets of this subject, ... -
Great Expectations: The Role of Implicit Current Intentions on Predictions of Future Behaviour
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-29)I present behavioural data contributing to existing research that (implicit) self-predictions are overly reliant on current intentions at the time of the decision (Koehler & Poon, 2006). Results are consistent with previous ... -
Great Lakes Regional Water Conflict Analyses
(University of Waterloo, 2021-03-25)This research proposes a holistic framework to help understand and mitigate the interrelated and successive conflicts that occur over water resources in the Great Lakes and the rivers flowing into them. Local Canadian ... -
