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 Deficiencies in the Digital Age: A Survey of User Experiences with Digital Displays
(University of Waterloo, 2024-07-09)Introduction: Approximately 90% of dichromats and 67% of anomalous trichromats experience difficulty performing colour-related tasks daily (Steward & Cole, 1989). As technology becomes more prevalent, examining whether ... -
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 ... -
The combined effects of benzalkonium chloride and ultraviolet radiation on the bovine lens in vitro
(University of Waterloo, 2018-04-23)Purpose: To determine the combined effects of benzalkonium chloride (BAK) and ultraviolet radiation (UV) using the primary culture of intact bovine lenses. Methods: Abattoir-provided lenses were dissected from the eyes ... -
Combined Use of Models and Measurements for Spatial Mapping of Concentrations and Deposition of Pollutants
(University of Waterloo, 2004)When modelling pollutants in the atmosphere, it is nearly impossible to get perfect results as the chemical and mechanical processes that govern pollutant concentrations are complex. Results are dependent on the quality ... -
Combining Similarity Transformed Equation of Motion Coupled Cluster (STEOM-CC), Vibronic Coupling models, and Spin-Orbit Coupling: Towards a First Principle Description of Intersystem Crossing
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-05)Electronic Structure Theory has led to a variety of developments and applications. In the Nooijen group the focus is on the development and use of Coupled Cluster based approaches. Coupled Cluster is a very strong and ... -
Communicating health information in primary care: a multidisciplinary exploration of patient, pharmacist, and physician decision-making
(University of Waterloo, 2019-06-27)Research has yet to clearly define how health care professionals’ (HCPs) use and sharing of information influences how health decisions are made, both independently and collaboratively. Similarly, the manner in which ... -
Communication: Molecular-level insights into asymmetric triblock copolymers: Network and phase development
(AIP publishing, 2014-10-01)Molecularly asymmetric triblock copolymers progressively grown from a parent diblock copolymer can be used to elucidate the phase and property transformation from diblock to network-forming triblock copolymer. In this ... -
Community Surveillance of Omicron in Ontario: Wastewater-based Epidemiology Comes of Age
(Research Square, 2022-03-15)Wastewater-based surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 RNA has been implemented at building, neighbourhood, and city levels throughout the world. Implementation strategies and analysis methods differ, but they all aim to provide rapid ... -
Community-partnered research on subsistence char fisheries near Kugluktuk, Nunavut: novel insights from traditional knowledge and western science
(University of Waterloo, 2023-09-26)Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) and Dolly Varden (S. malma) are the two most closely related species in the genus Salvelinus. Both species show substantial intraspecific variation in ecology, life history, morphology, and ... -
