Computerized and Non-Computerized Colour Vision Tests
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-05)Introduction: Measuring colour discrimination of people who carry out tasks where colour is used to convey information and accurate colour judgments are essential for safe and efficient performance of the task is important ... -
Concepts and methods for benchmarking quantum computers
(University of Waterloo, 2021-07-09)Quantum computers have the potential to bring about a new age of technology, but in order for them to become a reality, the elephant in the room must be addressed, quantum errors. The complexity of quantum errors grows ... -
Confined Quantum Molecular Degrees of Freedom
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-22)Motivated by recent experimental measurements of the degeneracy lifting of the rotational ground state of molecular ortho-H2 con ned inside the fullerene cage C60 and, more generally, motivated by the physics of con ned ... -
Conformation of 2-fold Anisotropic Molecules Confined on a Spherical Surface
(University of Waterloo, 2012-03-09)Anisotropic molecules confined on a spherical or other curved surface can display coupled positional and orientational orderings, which make possible applications in physics, chemistry, biology, and material science. ... -
Conformation of Pyrene-Labeled Amylose in DMSO Characterized with the Fluorescence Blob Model
(American Chemical Society, 2016-10-25)Amylose and poly(methyl acrylate) were randomly labeled with pyrene to yield a series of Py-Amylose and Py-PMA constructs, and their ability to form excimer in DMSO was characterized quantitatively by steady-state and ... -
Conical Designs and Categorical Jordan Algebraic Post-Quantum Theories
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-06)Physical theories can be characterized in terms of their state spaces and their evolutive equations. The kinematical structure and the dynamical structure of finite dimensional quantum theory are, in light of the ... -
The Conjugate Addition of Novel Nucleophiles and Catalytic Intramolecular Tandem [1,5]-Hydride Shift / Cyclization and Friedel-Crafts Acylation with Alkylidene Meldrum’s Acid Derivatives
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-26)Investigations into the conjugate addition of phenols and sp3-hybridized carbons bound to tin, boron and silicon by transition metal catalysts through novel transmetallation pathways were undertaken with limited success. ... -
Consequences of a lack of adult intravenous data on the prediction accuracy of pediatric physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-22)Lack of pediatric clinical data has led to a large gap in knowledge concerning drug efficacy, safety and dosing guidelines within the pediatric population. Many pediatric off-label doses are based largely on adult studies ... -
Consequences of cytochrome c oxidase assembly defects for the yeast stationary phase
(Elsevier, 2018-06-01)The assembly of cytochrome c oxidase (COX) is essential for a functional mitochondrial respiratory chain, although the consequences of a loss of assembled COX at yeast stationary phase, an excellent model for terminally ... -
Considerations of Varied Thermoregulatory Expressions in Migration Theory
(Wiley, 2021-10)Optimal migration theory has been used for 3 decades to generate predictions of stopover behavior and understand migration ecology. Yet, to date, there have been no attempts to understand the impacts of thermoregulation ... -
Constraining sources of atmospheric trace constituents with Lagrangian particle dispersion modeling
(University of Waterloo, 2013-06-19)This manuscript based thesis examines and advances methods for constraining sources of atmospheric trace constituents with a Lagrangian particle dispersion model. The method of Bayesian inversion is demonstrated, and a new ... -
Constraining the Properties of Sagittarius A* with the Event Horizon Telescope
(University of Waterloo, 2015-10-01)Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) is a primary target for testing strong gravity, jet formation and black hole accretion for the the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT). Motivated by continued improvements of the observations from the ... -
Constructing Exact Correlators In N=4 SYM Using Integrability
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-09)This thesis is devoted to the study of correlation functions in N = 4 superconformal Yang- Mills theory. We focus on a class of four point functions for which we achieve formal results at finite coupling and explicit ... -
Construction and Characterization of a Fine-Tuned Lytic Phage Display System
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-15)Bacteriophage (phage) Lambda (λ) has played a key historic role in driving our current understanding of molecular genetics. The lytic nature of this bacterial virus along with the conformation of its wild-type capsid protein ... -
Construction and characterization of a hybrid bacteriophage gene delivery platform
(University of Waterloo, 2022-04-26)Bacteriophages, viruses that specifically infect bacteria, may be considered as structurally simplistic protein-based vehicles for ferrying nucleic acid cargo. Since phages cannot infect nor replicate within human cells, ... -
