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
(University of Waterloo, 2016-12-15)We have isolated a complement of gene homologs from the simplest extant eukaryotic species to possess voltage-gated sodium (Na+) and calcium (Ca2+) channels, Salpingoeca rosetta. The isolated channels share the same 4 ... -
Cloning and expression of Cyt2Aa1 toxin and characterization of its mode of action
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-19)The discovery of the pore-forming toxins produced by Bacillus thuringiensis, which are toxic to insects but not to mammalians, has provided a new successful means to control harmful plant-feeding insects biologically. The ... -
Closed-loop control system and hardware-aware compilation protocols for quantum simulation with neutral atoms in optical trap arrays
(University of Waterloo, 2023-09-25)Quantum materials offer tremendous potential for advancing electronic devices beyond traditional semiconductor-based technologies. Understanding the dynamics of these materials requires the use of quantum simulators. Quantum ... -
Co-immobilization of multiple enzymes by metal coordinated nucleotide hydrogel nanofibers: improved stability and an enzyme cascade for glucose detection
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-03-21)Preserving enzyme activity and promoting synergistic activity via co-localization of multiple enzymes are key topics in bionanotechnology, materials science, and analytical chemistry. This study reports a facile method for ... -
Coherent control of nuclear and electron spins for quantum information processing
(University of Waterloo, 2015-08-10)The ability to perform quantum error correction (QEC) arbitrarily many cycles is a significant challenge for scalable quantum information processing (QIP). Key requirements for multiple-round QEC are a high degree of quantum ... -
Coherent interactions and thermometry in a trapped ion quantum simulator
(University of Waterloo, 2022-10-27)Quantum simulators are useful tools to study exotic systems which may be otherwise intractable for a traditional computer. In particular, the trapped-ion platform has been a leading candidate for use in quantum simulation ... -
Coinfection takes its toll: Sea lice override the protective effects of vaccination against a bacterial pathogen in Atlantic salmon
(Springer Nature, 2017-12-19)Vaccination is considered crucial for disease prevention and fish health in the global salmon farming industry. Nevertheless, some aspects, such as the efficacy of vaccines, can be largely circumvented during natural ... -
Cold Fiber Solid Phase Microextraction
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-29)A cold fiber solid phase microextraction device was designed and constructed based on the use of a thermoelectric cooler (TEC). A three-stage thermoelectric cooler was used for cooling a copper rod coated with a ... -
Cold fiber solid phase microextraction in solid sample analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-03)The cold fiber solid phase microextraction (SPME) system was improved by minimizing the coating temperature fluctuation range, and the performance of the system was evaluated by investigating the extraction of PAHs from ... -
Collective Dynamics in NMR and Quantum Noise
(University of Waterloo, 2016-10-17)We introduced an open quantum system model to describe the statistical fluctuations of a spin ensemble in NMR. The model considers an ensemble measurement where the detection coil does not distinguish spins, and accounts ... -
Collective Spin-Cavity Ensembles and the Protection of Higher-dimensional Quantum Information
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-28)The development of devices leveraging their quantum nature to outperform classical analogues has been an ongoing effort for many decades now. In this thesis we investigate two facets related to this effort, albeit at ... -
Colloid transport through basic oxygen furnace slag as permeable treatment media for pathogen removal
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-26)Basic oxygen furnace (BOF) slag media were studied through a series of laboratory, modeling and field studies as a potential treatment material for use in on site wastewater disposal systems. Microsphere enumeration ... -
Colour discrimination thresholds and acceptability ratings using simulated Microtile displays.
(University of Waterloo, 2011-10-03)Introduction Nearly all flat panel video display monitors have luminance and colour variations as the angle of view varies from the monitor’s perpendicular. The new MicrotileTM displays developed by Christie Digital are ... -
Colour Vision Test for Railway Dispatchers
(University of Waterloo, 2009-04-29)Introduction Colour codes are used extensively in railways to convey specific information governing movement of trains and equipment on the track. One such task is the railway traffic control display that uses colour coded ... -
Combination treatment of epilepsy with ketogenic diet and concurrent pharmacological inhibition of cytochrome P450 2E1
(Elsevier, 2013-04)While most epileptic patients respond to treatment with existing antiepileptic drugs, there remains a considerable number of patients in whom these drugs do not suffice. Such patients, particularly children, are often ... -
