Circulation and oxygen cycling in the Mediterranean Sea: Sensitivity to future climate change
(American Geophysical Union, 2016-11-12)Climate change is expected to increase temperatures and decrease precipitation in the Mediterranean Sea (MS) basin, causing substantial changes in the thermohaline circulation (THC) of both the Western Mediterranean Sea ... -
Citrate inhibition of cisplatin reaction with DNA studied using fluorescently labeled oligonucleotides: implication for selectivity towards guanine
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013-10-21)The reaction between cisplatin and DNA is conveniently studied using fluorescently labeled oligonucleotides and gel electrophoresis; as an example of application, the inhibition of this reaction by citrate is demonstrated, ... -
The City and the Stream: Impacts of Municipal Wastewater Effluent on the Riffle Food Web in the Speed River, Ontario
(University of Waterloo, 2011-10-31)Fast paced population growth in urban areas of southern Ontario is putting increased pressure on the surrounding aquatic environment. The City of Guelph uses the Speed River to assimilate its municipal wastewater effluent. ... -
CK-2 of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) has two differentially regulated alleles that encode a functional chemokine
(Elsevier, 2018-04)Rainbow trout chemokine 2 (CK-2) is currently the only known CC chemokine to have a mucin stalk. Further analysis of the mucin stalk region revealed a second, related CC chemokine sequence, denoted here as CK-2.1. This ... -
Cladophora growth in littoral environments of large lakes: Spatial complexity and ecological interpretations
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-19)This thesis brings together a variety of new and evolving technologies in an attempt to characterize spatial variability in highly complex near shore areas of the Laurentian Great Lakes in order to provide methods and ... -
Classical simulations of quantum systems using stabilizer decompositions
(University of Waterloo, 2021-02-19)One of the state of the art techniques for classically simulating quantum circuits relies on approximating the output state of the circuit by a superposition of stabilizer states. If the number of non-Clifford gates in ... -
A Classification of (2+1)D Topological Phases with Symmetries
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-18)This thesis aims at concluding the classification results for topological phases with symmetry. First, we know that “trivial” (i.e., not topological) phases with symmetry can be classified by Landau symmetry breaking ... -
Classifications of Quantum Field Theories
(University of Waterloo, 2018-07-04)We discuss classifications of UV complete supersymmetric theories in six dimensions, and (spin-)topological field theories admitting a finite global symmetry and possibly time-reversal symmetry in three dimensions. We also ... -
A Cleavable Molecular Beacon for Hg2+ Detection based on Phosphorothioate RNA Modifications
(American Chemical Society, 2015-06-10)Mercury is a highly toxic heavy metal, and detection of Hg2+ by biosensors has attracted extensive research interest in the past decade. In particular, a number of DNA-based sensing strategies have been developed. Well-known ... -
CLINICAL AND ANALYTICAL STUDIES IN POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN SYMPTOMATIC OF DRY EYE
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-22)Introduction Menopause which is defined as a permanent physiological, or natural, cessation of menstrual cycle, plays an important role in the development of ocular surface dryness symptoms and there is an increased ... -
Clinical Pharmacy Services in Ambulatory Oncology: An Environmental Scan of the Canadian Practice Landscape
(University of Waterloo, 2023-02-21)Background: Canadian clinical pharmacy key performance indicators (cpKPIs) have been developed for inpatient hospital practice but are not established for ambulatory oncology. This study represents the first step in ... -
Cloning and characterization of new cellulases from Cellulomonas fimi and Cellulomonas flavigena
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-27)Lignocellulose is one of the most abundant carbon sources in nature. This naturally-occuring substance is an underutilized source of bioenergy. A major bottleneck in biofuel processing is the enzymatic hydrolysis of ... -
Cloning and characterization of voltage-gated sodium and calcium channel homologs from the single-cell choanoflagellate, Salpingoeca rosetta
