Multicopper Laccase Mimicking Nanozymes with Nucleotides as Ligands
(American Chemical Society, 2017-01-18)Using nanomaterials to achieve functional enzyme mimics (nanozymes) is attractive for both applied and fundamental research. Laccases are multicopper oxidases highly important for biotechnology and environmental remediation. ... -
Multicultural Planning in Mid-Sized Cities
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-15)Multiculturalism embraces racial and cultural differences within a society. This is a well-established aspect of Canadian life, especially in Canada’s largest cities because the majority of immigrants prefer to settle in ... -
Multiculturalism: The Un/making of an In/visible Un/problematic Citizen
(University of Waterloo, 2021-01-06)This thesis explores the lived experiences of Chinese Canadian youth (n=9) and their understandings of multiculturalism and racialization in Ontario, Canada. Canada is often cited as the epitome of acceptance and cultural ... -
A Multidimensional Model of Biological Sex
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-10)This dissertation is about biological sex and how we ought to make sense of it. By biological sex I mean those elements of an individual’s body that are involved in reproduction of the individual’s species; by make sense ... -
Multidimensional Vinogradov-type Estimates in Function Fields
(Cambridge University Press, 2014)Let Fq[t] denote the polynomial ring over the finite field Fq. We employ Wooley’s new efficient congruencing method to prove certain multidimensional Vinogradov-type estimates in Fq[t]. These results allow us to apply a ... -
Multidisciplinary Design Optimization of NAFTA Supply Chains
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-01)Supply chain management is the set of tasks through which businesses acquire, process, and move raw materials and final products from suppliers through factories and distribution points to customers. The mathematical ... -
Multidisciplinary Optimization of Hybrid Electric Vehicles: Component Sizing and Power Management Logic
(University of Waterloo, 2011-06-16)A survey of the existing literature indicates that optimization on the power management logic of hybrid electric vehicle is mostly performed after the design of the powertrain architecture or the power source components ... -
Multifaceted Approaches to Enhancing Shoulder Health in Breast Cancer Patients undergoing Radiation Therapy: quantification of treatment effects and rib fracture prediction assessment
(University of Waterloo, 2024-04-11)Radiotherapy is a highly effective treatment for breast cancer, but it is also associated with several complications that can impact patients’ quality of life and overall survival. This dissertation addressed the lack of ... -
Multifrequency Raman Generation in the Transient Regime
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Two colour pumping was used to investigate the short-pulse technique of Multifrequency Raman Generation (MRG) in the transient regime of Raman scattering. In the course of this study we have demonstrated the ability to ... -
A Multifunctional MEMS Pressure and Temperature Sensor for Harsh Environment Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2013-02-21)The objective of this thesis was to develop a fast-response multifunctional MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) sensor for the simultaneous measurement of in-cylinder pressure and temperature in an internal combustion ... -
Multifunctional Nano MOF Particle for Anticancer Drug Delivery
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-05)PCN-224 MOF nano particles were modified with a peptide named NPKMTX to deliver dox to cancer cells. -
A multifunctional sensor system for brake system applications
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-28)The objective of this thesis is to develop a multifunctional MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System) sensor system for the simultaneous measurement of pressure and temperature inside a hydraulic system, more specifically a ... -
Multigraphs with High Chromatic Index
(University of Waterloo, 2009-07-22)In this thesis we take a specialized approach to edge-colouring by focusing exclusively on multigraphs with high chromatic index. The bulk of our results can be classified into three categories. First, we prove results ... -
Multigrid Methods for Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman and Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman-Isaacs Equations
(University of Waterloo, 2011-06-28)We propose multigrid methods for solving Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) and Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman-Isaacs (HJBI) equations. The methods are based on the full approximation scheme. We propose a damped-relaxation method as ... -
