(University of Waterloo, 2021-01-13)The Ordovician Gubaoquan eclogite is situated in the southern part of the Palaeozoic Beishan Orogenic Collage of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt in NW China. Mapping of an extensive section of the metamorphic tectonite ... -
Structurally Enhanced Electrodes for Redox Flow Batteries Produced via Electrospinning
(University of Waterloo, 2024-04-29)The vanadium redox flow battery is one of the most promising secondary batteries for energy storage system due to its design flexibility attributed to the large adjustable capacity of the storage tanks filled with electrolyte ... -
The Structure and Composition of Seasonally Dry Tropical Forest Communities on St. Lucia
(University of Waterloo, 2009-01-19)Dry forests of the Caribbean islands are regarded as highly disturbed ecosystems and have been characterized as having a high density of small diameter stems, a lower basal area at maturity and a lower species-richness ... -
Structure and Function in Early Glaucoma
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-24)Glaucoma is a group of diseases, which exhibit a characteristic optic neuropathy and may result in progressive visual field loss. The most important risk factor is raised intraocular pressure (IOP) usually secondary to ... -
Structure and Function in Early Glaucoma
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-23)Glaucoma is a general term that includes an array of ocular conditions that cause a specific neuropathy of the optic nerve (Greenfield, Bagga, et al. 2003) of which abnormalities associated with this disorder are localized ... -
The Structure and Function of Lung Surfactant: Effect of Amyloid Fibril Formation
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-21)The alveoli of mammalian lungs are covered in a thin lipid film referred to as pulmonary surfactant. The primary purpose of pulmonary surfactant is to reduce the surface tension of the air/liquid interface allowing breathing ... -
The Structure and Internal Dynamics of Polypeptides Probed with Pyrene Excimer Fluorescence
(University of Waterloo, 2021-01-25)A combination of pyrene excimer fluorescence, fluorescence blob model (FBM), and molecular mechanics optimizations (MMOs) was applied to characterize a series of pyrene-labeled polypeptides. Analysis of the fluorescence ... -
