Inhibition of Defocus-Induced Myopia in Chickens
(Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, 2013-04-12)Purpose.: To determine the effect of wearing a lens with a unique peripheral optical design on the development and progression of defocus-induced myopia in newly hatched chickens.Methods.: Eighty-five newly hatched chickens ... -
Inhibition of Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase with a 3-Mercaptopicolinic acid Analogue
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-01)Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) is the metabolic enzyme that catalyzes the first committed step in gluconeogenesis and glyceroneogensis. More recently, PEPCK has been implicated in the maintenance and establishment ... -
Initial Biodegradation Potential of Microcystin-LR by Biofilters Experiencing Sudden Cyanobacterial Blooms in Drinking Water Treatment
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-20)Cyanobacterial blooms have become a major cause of drinking water problems because certain metabolites from cyanobacteria are toxic to human health. Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is one of the most commonly detected cyanotoxins. ... -
Initial State Stabilities and Inverse Engineering in Conflict Resolution
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-23)Two original contributions are made which extend the Graph Model for Conflict Resolution: one is a new family of solution concepts, while the other is a novel methodological approach. In addition to theoretical contributions, ... -
Initialization and characterization of open quantum systems
(University of Waterloo, 2015-08-21)In this thesis we address three topics of open quantum systems theory. The first concerns the operational characterization of an open quantum system. We develop a graphical calculus for open quantum systems and use it to ... -
