Instantaneous and Quantitative Functionalization of Gold Nanoparticles with Thiolated DNA Using a pH-Assisted and Surfactant-Free Route
(American Chemical Society, 2012-05-02)The attachment of thiolated DNA to gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has enabled many landmark works in nanobiotechnology. This conjugate chemistry is typically performed using a salt-aging protocol where, in the presence of an ... -
Instantaneous Attachment of an Ultrahigh Density of Nonthiolated DNA to Gold Nanoparticles and Its Applications
(American Chemical Society, 2012-12-11)The last 16 years have witnessed the landmark development of polyvalent thiolated DNA-functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNP's) possessing striking properties within the emerging field of nanobiotechnology. Many novel ... -
Institutional Arrangements for Composting and Compost Use in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-21)The staggering levels of growth and development resulting in a more populous and affluent society that Vietnam is experiencing have resulted in greater levels of consumption and environmental damage from agricultural ... -
Institutional Barriers and Enablers for Green Infrastructure Implementation: A Case-Study of the City of Brampton, Ontario, using the Institutional Analysis and Development framework.
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-26)Green infrastructure (GI) has increasingly being deliberated in the planning discourse for its multifunctionality and applicability to address a number of urban issues. However, despite the benefits, the mainstream use ... -
An Institutional Ethnography Inquiry into the Management of Anaphylaxis for Adolescents at-risk in Ontario Schools
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-31)In Ontario, Sabrina’s Law mandates that all school boards have anaphylaxis policies in place to protect at-risk students. Despite this law research has shown that within schools, the management of anaphylactic allergies ... -
Institutional Traps and Private Housing Sector Adaptation: A Case Study of the Bangkok Metropolitan Region
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-18)Southeast Asia is at particular risk of the impacts of climate change which is, and is predicted to continue, causing increased intensity and frequency of extreme weather events. Thailand is particularly vulnerable to ... -
Institutional-level Contributors to Inequality: The Existence and Impact of Gendered Wording within Job Advertisements
(University of Waterloo, 2010-06-08)The present research demonstrates a novel institutional-level contributor--that is, gendered wording used in job recruitment materials--that serves to perpetuate the status quo, keeping women underrepresented in traditionally ... -
Institutions, Theology, and the Language of Freedom in the Poetry and Prose of John Milton
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-20)Freedom is an essential topic in the writings of John Milton, but what he means by this term varies over the course of his career. Milton’s prose works centre on religious and political liberty, which explore how the ... -
An Instruction Scratchpad Memory Allocation for the Precision Timed Architecture
(University of Waterloo, 2012-12-18)This work presents a static instruction allocation scheme for the precision timed architecture’s (PRET) scratchpad memory. Since PRET provides timing instructions to control the temporal execution of programs, the objective ... -
Instructor presence effect: Liking does not always lead to learning
(Elsevier, 2018-07-01)Online education provides the opportunity to present lecture material to students in different formats or modalities, however there is debate about which lecture formats are best. Here, we conducted four experiments with ... -
Instrumental Landscapes: Sustainable Strategies for Wetland Development
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-25)As a result of widespread urban development over the past two decades, global wetlands are disappearing at an alarming rate. This thesis develops a series of strategies for protecting wetland ecosystems from the ecological ... -
Instrumental Matrix: Regenerative Systems in Hamilton, Ontario
(University of Waterloo, 2007-01-22)Positioned at the metaphysical divide between civilization and wilderness, this thesis investigates the potential for symbiotic relationships among cultural, ecological and industrial systems in an effort to suggest ... -
Instrumentation and Overall Evaluation of Perpetual and Conventional Flexible Pavement Designs
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-28)The perpetual structural pavement design is currently being explored for usage in Canada and worldwide. This thick structural design can provide many potential benefits but it also has associated costs. Cold Canadian winters ... -
