The Protection of Transmission Lines Connected to DFIG-Based WTGs
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-25)Recently, many countries have proposed various plans to address the issue of climate change, and increasing the capacity of renewables is one of the major common components of such plans. The uncertainty and variability ... -
Protection of Transmission Lines Connected to IG-Based Wind Farms
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-29)Over the last few decades, renewable energy sources have been attracting great attention due to the increased cost, limited reserves, and the adverse environmental impact of fossil fuels. Among them, wind energy is one of ... -
Protective Responses during a Sideways Fall: Effects of Secondary Tasks
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Falls and hip fractures are a major public health problem among the elderly. In addition to bone strength, sideways falls and direct hip impact are important determinants for hip fracture. However, few falls actually ... -
Protein Capture by Cation Exchange Membranes
(University of Waterloo, 2015-04-13)Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are large recombinant proteins produced in CHO (Chinese hamster ovary) cell culture with a multiplicity of applications such as ligands for affinity chromatography material, medical applications ... -
Protein De novo Sequencing
(University of Waterloo, 2016-05-13)In the proteomic mass spectrometry field, peptide and protein identification can be classified into two categories: database search that relies on existing peptide and protein databases and de novo sequencing with no prior ... -
Protein Deposition and Bacterial Adhesion to Conventional and Silicone Hydrogel Contact Lens Materials
(University of Waterloo, 2009-04-27)Introduction Contact lenses suffer from the same problems of deposition that other biomaterials exhibit, being rapidly coated with a variety of proteins, lipids and mucins. The first event observed at the interface between ... -
Protein Engineering of Bacterioferritin: Applications to Bionanotechnology
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-24)Biological protein assemblies are the products of evolutionary necessity that have arisen to protect the cell, improve reaction rates, and/or compartmentalize biological systems. Belonging to this category of sel-assembling ... -
Protein Engineering of Microbial Ferritins
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-23)Nanotechnology has become a field of intense interest due to its applications in medicine, cosmetics, energy, and fabrics. The field has evolved to include nanodimensional self-assembling cage proteins which are multisubunit ... -
Protein Loop Prediction by Fragment Assembly
(University of Waterloo, 2007-01-19)If the primary sequence of a protein is known, what is its three-dimensional structure? This is one of the most challenging problems in molecular biology and has many applications in proteomics. During the last three ... -
Protein sorption to contact lenses and intraocular lenses
(University of Waterloo, 2009-12-22)Purpose: To locate protein sorption on the surface and inside the matrix of soft contact lens materials and intraocular lenses (IOL). Methods: The proteins albumin and lysozyme were investigated as they are highly ... -
Protein Structure Elastic Network Models and the Rank 3 Positive Semidefinite Matrix Manifold
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-09)This thesis is a contribution to the study of protein dynamics using elastic network models (ENMs). An ENM is an abstraction of a protein structure where inter-atomic interactions are assumed to be modelled by a Hookean ... -
Proteomic analyses of plant-bacterial interactions
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-27)Proteome-level changes of both the plant growth-promoting bacterium (PGPB) Pseudomonas putida UW4 and its plant host Brassica napus (canola) were profiled using two-dimensional (2-D) difference in-gel electrophoresis (DIGE) ... -
Proteomic Analysis and Long Term Live Cell Imaging of Primary Human Cells in Culture
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-18)Regenerative medicine is a rapidly developing field, merging engineering and biological life sciences to create biological replacements for damaged tissue and organ function. Development of cellular based therapies has the ... -
Proteomic Analysis of Chinese Hamster Ovary Cells Producing Glycosylated Monoclonal Antibodies
(University of Waterloo, 2013-06-19)Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (MAb) are produced as secreted complex glycoproteins from mammalian cell systems and represent one of the most important classes of therapeutic medicines for the treatment of a variety of ... -
Proteomics Analysis of Protein-Producing Chinese Hamster Ovary Cells during Apoptosis in Prolonged Cultivation
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-21)Among the factors important for maintaining productivity of recombinant proteins in mammalian cells, culture lifetime, cell density and cell viability are three simple but essential aspects that can greatly influence the ... -
Proterozoic zircon dates from auriferous zones at the Island Gold deposit: implications for late gold remobilization in the Superior Province
