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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Greater Toronto Chinese Downtown
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-13)Greater Toronto Chinese Downtown (GTCD) is the largest Chinese Canadian community in the Greater Toronto Area and one of the world’s most unique Chinese diasporic cities outside of Asia. Created by the sudden influx of ... -
Greedy Representative Selection for Unsupervised Data Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-25)In recent years, the advance of information and communication technologies has allowed the storage and transfer of massive amounts of data. The availability of this overwhelming amount of data stimulates a growing need to ... -
Green
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-06)We insist upon “green space”, but the term’s vague cast brings little into focus. In this thesis I search out what it is that we look for in green space. I consider some ways, within our North American context, that we ... -
Green Infrastructure and the Sustainable Metropolitan Village
(University of Waterloo, 2010-09-28)The current model of suburban development in Canadian cities has serious consequences for the natural environment. The ubiquitous landscape of sprawl consumes excessive amounts of greenfield land and natural resources, ... -
Green Petroleum Refining - Mathematical Models for Optimizing Petroleum Refining Under Emission Constraints
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-04)Petroleum refining processes provide the daily requirements of energy for the global market. Each refining process produces wastes that have the capacity to harm the environment if not properly disposed of. The treatment ... -
The Green Scare: Radical environmental activism and the invention of "eco-terrorism" in American superhero comics from 1970 to 1990
(University of Waterloo, 2021-02-22)American environmentalism became a recognizable social movement in the 1960s. In the following two decades the movement evolved to represent a diverse set of philosophies and developed new protest methods. In the early ... -
Green Supply Chain Design: A Lagrangian Approach
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-21)The expansion of supply chains into global networks has drastically increased the distance travelled along shipping lanes in a logistics system. Inherently, the increase in travel distances produces increased carbon emissions ... -
Green Supply Chain Network Design with Emission Sensitive Demand
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-30)Over the last few decades, the argument for a link between greenhouse gas emissions and global warming has become stronger. In response, there has been a global shift. Politicians are implementing carbon policies while ... -
Green Thermo-Mechano-Chemical Processing for the Recovery of Lignocellulosic Biomass Components
(University of Waterloo, 2022-04-20)The components of lignocellulosic biomasses are attractive material alternatives for petroleum-derived products as they are renewable bioresources. However, their applicability is currently stunted by their acid-heavy ... -
Grey Numbers in Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis and Conflict Resolution
(University of Waterloo, 2014-10-24)Definitions of grey numbers are adapted for incorporation into Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis and the Graph Model for Conflict Resolution in order to capture uncertainty in decision making. The main objective is to ... -
GREY TO GREEN 13 GATES TO THE GREENBELT
(University of Waterloo, 2019-10-21)The Greenbelt was created by the Government of Ontario in 2005 to protect working farms, wetlands, natural habitats, woods and river valleys that surround the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Its vast 8000 square kilometers ... -
Grid + Ghost
(University of Waterloo, 2013-02-21)The thesis begins with a notion to design a school of architecture in Saskatchewan. The context, at first, appears overwhelmingly basic: an agricultural grid superimposed on a horizontal plain, under an endless sky. This ... -
Grid Filters for Local Nonlinear Image Restoration
(University of Waterloo, 1998)A new approach to local nonlinear image restoration is described, based on approximating functions using a regular grid of points in a many-dimensional space. Symmetry reductions and compression of the sparse grid make ... -
Grid-able Plug-in Electric Vehicles in Smart Grids: Incorporation into Demand Response
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-22)Electric transportation has attracted a great deal of interest within the transport sector because of its notable potential to become a low-carbon substitute for conventional combustion engine vehicles. However, widespread ... -
