(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-03)Located along the southern margin of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), the mafic 290-280 Ma Liuyuan Complex stratigraphy and tectonic setting have been controversial for decades. Here, the results of a detailed field ... -
PEV Charging Infrastructure Integration into Smart Grid
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-05)Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) represent a huge step forward in a green transportation system, contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emission, and reduce the dependence on fossil fuel. With the increasing popularity ... -
pH-Responsive Poly(Ethylene Glycol)- block -Polylactide Micelles for Tumor-Targeted Drug Delivery
(American Chemical Society, 2017-08-16)A biodegradable micellar drug delivery system with a pH-responsive sheddable PEG shell was developed using an acetal-linked poly(ethylene glycol)-block-polylactide (PEG-a-PLA) copolymer and applied to the tumoral release ... -
Phantom Limb
(University of Waterloo, 2015-04-13)The living interact with the dead. We live in a funerary landscape that surrounds us, that is inside us. We fold memories of the dead into the space of the living. We embrace death, even while we turn away from it. ... -
„Phantom, du bist nicht meinesgleichen!“ Identity in the works of Annette von Droste-Hülshoff
(University of Waterloo, 2023-09-08)This thesis examines the role of identity in the works of German author Annette von Droste-Hülshoff. The analysis of this theme investigates the extent to which the author's mode of execution, composed of depicting conflicts ... -
Phantoms of the Sea: Phokaian Colonies of the Far Western Mediterranean
(University of Waterloo, 2022-12-20)Phokaian settlement and expansion in the western Mediterranean constitute an integral and distinctive part of the broader phenomenon of Greek colonization in the Archaic period, yet many aspects of Phokaian colonization ... -
Pharmaceutical Applications of Gemini Surfactants
(University of Waterloo, 2011-01-10)Gemini surfactants are an intriguing class of surface active agents that are comprised of two surfactant monomers chemically linked at or near the headgroups by a rigid or flexible spacer. In comparison to their corresponding ... -
Pharmacist experience with providing care for patients with chronic pain in the community setting: A qualitative study
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-20)Objectives: Chronic pain is a condition pharmacists frequently encounter in practice; however, the pharmacist’s role in the management of chronic pain is under-investigated. This study examines pharmacist perceptions and ... -
Pharmacokinetic and economic implications when switching between hemophilia A treatments
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-18)Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder in which the blood is unable to form clots, and is also classified as severe (defined as having an endogenous factor VIII [FVIII] concentration < 1 IU/dL, or 1%), moderate (1-5%) or mild ... -
Pharmacokinetic modelling of clinically relevant situations in the treatment of hemophilia A and B
(University of Waterloo, 2020-04-03)Hemophilia is a congenital bleeding disorder caused by deficiency of clotting factor VIII (FVIII; hemophilia A) or IX (FIX; hemophilia B). Severe hemophilia patients have less than 1% (or 1 IU/dL) of normal factor activity, ... -
Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics and Analysis of the Effect of β-Amyloid Peptide on Acetylcholine Neurocycle and Alzheimer’s Disease Medications
(University of Waterloo, 2013-12-17)The brain of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by accumulations of β-amyloid peptide aggregates which promote neurodegentartive dysfunction. Comprehensive understanding of the interaction between β-amyloid aggregates ... -
Pharmacy patron perspectives of community pharmacist administered influenza vaccinations
(Elsevier, 2019-02)One approach to boost influenza vaccination coverage has been to expand immunization authority. In 2012, the province of Ontario gave community pharmacists the authority to administer the influenza vaccine. -

A Phase Model with Large Time Delayed Coupling
(Elsevier, 2020-10)We consider two identical oscillators with weak, time delayed coupling. We start with a general system of delay differential equations then reduce it to a phase model. With the assumption of large time delay, the resulting ... -
Phase models and clustering in networks of oscillators with delayed coupling
(Elsevier, 2017-09-19)We consider a general model for a network of oscillators with time delayed coupling where the coupling matrix is circulant. We use the theory of weakly coupled oscillators to reduce the system of delay differential equations ... -
