Studies on the Physiology and Glucose Metabolism of 14-16-Month-Old Female RTSAKO Mice
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-01)Obesity is a global epidemic. Characterized by an imbalance between energy intake and expenditure, the metabolic and physiological dysfunctions that it yields can result in other diseases such as diabetes. Although several ... -
Studies on Trade-off Between Throughput and Reliability in Wireless Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2007-12-20)In the first part of the thesis, we study the trade-off between the transmission reliability and data rate in high signal-to-noise ratio regime in ad-hoc wireless networks. Bandwidth allocation plays a significant role ... -
Studies Related to Tandem Reactivity of 1-Carbomethoxy-5-dicyanomethyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene
(University of Waterloo, 2006)A set of studies centered around the reactions of the active methine compound 1-carbomethoxy-5-dicyanomethyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene (the "ring-opened adduct"), obtained by base-induced ring-opening of the Diels-Alder adduct ... -
A Study in Paleo-Oncology: On the Identification of Neoplastic Disease in Archaeological Bone
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-24)Humans have experienced neoplastic disease since antiquity as evidenced by its frequent mentions in numerous ancient medical texts from diverse cultures. However, the skeletal record does not always corroborate this fact, ... -
A Study in Preference Elicitation under Uncertainty
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-30)In many areas of Artificial Intelligence (AI), we are interested in helping people make better decisions. This help can result in two advantages. First, computers can process large amounts of data and perform quick ... -
A Study in the Comparative Viability of Green Roofs Constructed Using Native Accent Species Relative to Green Roofs Using Sedum Accent Species: A First Step Toward the Potential Development of Green Roofs as a Tool for Creating a Transition Zone Between Native and Urban Ecosystems
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-18)Modern urban development over the last 200 years has led to the construction of cities which create severe issues for native ecology, human health, and the safety of both people and property. Among these issues are the ... -
Study of a low Re airfoil considering laminar separation bubbles in static and pitching motion
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-25)Performance of low Reynolds number (Re) devices is highly dependent on their airfoil design. Small wind turbines that usually work in areas with poor wind resources with a vast application from remote to busy urban regions ... -
Study of a MEMS fiber-optic pressure sensor based on Optical Interferometry.
(University of Waterloo, 2017-11-27)The main focus of this thesis is the development of a MEMS optical pressure sensor capable of giving real-time, accurate measurements to a mid-high pressure range. Some traditional devices for acquisition of parameters ... -
Study of a Molecular Promoter for Enhancing Cisplatin Cancer Chemotherapy
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-25)Cisplatin is one of the most widely used chemotherapeutic anti-cancer drugs due to its ability to effectively damage DNA and cause cell death. Despite this, cisplatin still suffers from two main drawbacks: toxicity and ... -
Study of a Non-Platinum-Based Antitumor Agent for Targeted Chemotherapy of Pancreatic Cancer
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-29)Cancer has been a significant impediment to human life extension. Pancreatic cancer, the third largest cause of cancer mortality, presently lacks a viable therapy and is only detectable at a late stage. The advancement of ... -
A Study of Adaptation Mechanisms for Simulation Algorithms
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-30)The performance of a program can sometimes greatly improve if it was known in advance the features of the input the program is supposed to process, the actual operating parameters it is supposed to work with, or the ... -
