Control techniques in spin based quantum computation
(University of Waterloo, 2019-07-11)Working on quantum systems entail different interests, for example, working on fundamental understanding of quantum systems also lay foundation for better quantum computation techniques. A test for whether a system is ... -
Controlled nanometer liquid layer thicknesses for the study of nanomaterials and biospecimens in liquid-cell transmission electron microscopy
(University of Waterloo, 2023-09-22)Liquid-cell transmission electron microscopy (LC-TEM) is an in-situ microscopy technique which aims to image nanomaterials and biospecimens in their native liquid phase environment. To accomplish this task, miniature vessels ... -
Controlling Exciton Polarization in Transition Metal Doped Indium Oxide Nanocrystals
(University of Waterloo, 2024-02-20)The simultaneous manipulation of electronic charge and spin in dilute magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) doped with transition metal ions has been long considered a holy grail for advancing spintronics and quantum information ... -
Controlling Quantum Information Devices
(University of Waterloo, 2012-06-18)Quantum information and quantum computation are linked by a common mathematical and physical framework of quantum mechanics. The manipulation of the predicted dynamics and its optimization is known as quantum control. Many ... -
Controlling the sustainability and shape change of the zinc anode in rechargeable aqueous Zn/LiMn2O4 battery
(Elsevier, 2018-11-01)The use of thixotropic gel electrolytes in the rechargeable hybrid aqueous battery improves the battery performance but it is required to have a corrosion inhibitor in the gel electrolyte. These inhibitors are not always ... -
Controlling “chemical nose” biosensor characteristics by modulating gold nanoparticle shape and concentration
(Elsevier, 2015-09)Conventional lock-and-key biosensors often only detect a single pathogen because they incorporate biomolecules with high specificity. “Chemical nose” biosensors are overcoming this limitation and identifying multiple ... -
Controls of Fish Mercury Concentrations in Subarctic Lakes of Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2022-07-25)Mercury (Hg) is a global pollutant that in its organic and more toxic form, methyl Hg (MeHg), can cause detrimental health effects on fish, wildlife, and humans. In lake ecosystems, concentrations of Hg ([Hg]) in fish ... -
Copper Isotope Fractionation and the Evolution of Sulfide Alteration in a Sudbury Tailings Impoundment
(University of Waterloo, 2016-10-18)The fate of dissolved Cu in the Copper Cliff Central Tailings Impoundment was investigated to better understand the extent of Cu stable isotope fractionation accompanying the oxidation of Cu-bearing sulfide minerals and ... -
Copper-mediated C-S Bond Formation and C(sp2)-H Functionalization via Cascade Cyclization
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-27)Organosulfur compounds have a wide variety of applications in pharmaceutical compounds and synthetic materials. Carbon-sulfur bonds are often found in natural and important bioactive compounds, thus the formation of C-S ... -
Corneal sensitivity after ocular surgery
(Wolters Kluwer, 2019-07-01)The cornea is densely innervated with free nerve endings to provide a high level of sensitivity to foreign bodies or noxious substances. They also provide trophic support to the tissues of the cornea and facilitate their ... -
Corneal Swelling with Cosmetic etafilcon A Lenses versus No Lens Wear:
(Wolters & Kluwer, 2016-06)Purpose: To determine if the use of pigments or adding polyvinyl pyrrolidone during the fabrication of 1-DAY ACUVUE DEFINE (AD) brand contact lenses impacts open-eye corneal swelling compared with no lens wear (NLW). ... -
The correction of static and dynamic aniseikonia with spectacles and contact lenses
(Wiley, 2017-02-16)We describe a case of where significant anisometropic astigmatism was accompanied with considerable asthenopic symptoms. Symptoms were not alleviated by the prescribing of a partial spectacle correction. Subsequent treatment ... -
Correlation Functions of Heavy Operators in AdS/CFT
(University of Waterloo, 2024-04-15)In this thesis we investigate the holographic dual description of correlation functions of heavy operators in conformal field theory. These heavy operators have scaling dimension that scales with the CFT central charge in ... -
Correlation harvesting in the presence of Unruh and Hawking effects
(University of Waterloo, 2023-07-14)Quantum field theory (QFT) in curved spacetime is a study of quantum fields under the influence of the relativistic motion of particles or spacetime curvature. The famous outcomes of this subject are the Unruh and Hawking ... -
Correlation of photobleaching, oxidation and metal induced fluorescence quenching of DNA-templated silver nanoclusters
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013-04-07)Few-atom noble metal nanoclusters have attracted a lot of interest due to their potential applications in biosensor development, imaging and catalysis. DNA-templated silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) are of particular interest ... -
Correlation of visually evoked intrinsic optical signals and electroretinograms recorded from chicken retina with a combined functional optical coherence tomography and electroretinography system
(Society of Photo Optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2012-02-08)Visually evoked fast intrinsic optical signals (IOSs) were recorded for the first time in vivo from all layers of healthy chicken retina by using a combined functional optical coherence tomography (fOCT) and electroretinography ... -
Corundum formation by metasomatic reactions in Archean metapelite, SW Greenland: Exploration vectors for ruby deposits within high-grade greenstone belts
(Elsevier, 2018-05-01)Corundum (ruby-sapphire) is known to have formed in situ within Archean metamorphic rocks at several localities in the North Atlantic Craton of Greenland. Here we present two case studies for such occurrences: (1) Maniitsoq ... -
