Chemical and Toxicological Characterization of Dissolved Organics from Oil Sands Waters
(University of Waterloo, 2018-07-04)The surface mining of oil sands from the Athabasca deposit north of Fort McMurray, Alberta produces considerable tailings waste which is stored in large tailings ponds on industry lease sites. With the advent of oil sands ... -
Chemical biopsy via solid phase microextraction: strategies and applications for in vivo brain studies
(University of Waterloo, 2020-08-19)Adequate and quantitative observation of neurochemical phenomena is instrumental in guiding efforts towards a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying brain functions. Although a plethora of highly focused mechanistic ... -
Chemical characterization of construction materials and solute transport in peat from the Nikanotee Fen watershed at the Athabasca oil sands region, Alberta, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2017-02-22)Overburden and tailings materials from oil sands production were used as construction materials as part of a novel attempt to create a self-sustaining, peat accumulating fen-upland ecosystem. To evaluate the potential for ... -
Chemical Composition of Soybean Root Epidermal Cell Walls
(University of Waterloo, 2006)The root epidermis, being the outermost cell layer of the organ, is in contact with the soil environment. The position of the epidermis determines its important roles, such as taking up water and ions from the surrounding ... -

Chemical Modification of Poly-α-1,3-Glucan
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-09)Sustainability is becoming a primary consideration in the development of new materials. Specifically, renewability and biodegradability are desirable properties for materials in a variety of applications, including packaging ... -
Chemical Modification of Polybutene-1 Resins
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-07)Controlled rheology polybutene (CRPB) resins have been produced by peroxide induced degradation during reactive processing in a batch mixing operation. Two grades of commodity polybutene-1 (PB-1) resins were selected for ... -
Chemical Modification of Polyisobutylene Succinimide Dispersants and Characterization of Their Associative Properties
(American Chemical Society, 2015-09-17)The secondary amines found in b-PIBSI dispersants prepared by attaching two polyisobutylene chains to a polyamine core via two succinimide moieties were reacted with ethylene carbonate (EC). The reaction generated urethane ... -
Chemical Modification of Polypropylene with Organo-functional Silanes
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-05)Conventional polypropylene (PP) suffers at higher service temperatures and its poor melt strength limits its application in some processes. PP also lacks functional groups necessary for good adhesion to synthetic or natural ... -
Chemical shift assignments of calmodulin constructs with EF hand mutations
(Springer, 2016-04-01)Calmodulin (CaM) is a ubiquitous cytosolic Ca2+-binding protein able to bind and regulate hundreds of different proteins. It consists of two globular domains joined by a flexible central linker region. Each one of these ... -
Chemical shift perturbations induced by residue specific mutations of CaM interacting with NOS peptides
(Springer, 2015-10-01)The regulation of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) by calmodulin (CaM) plays a major role in a number of key physiological and pathological processes. A detailed molecular level picture of how this regulation is achieved is ... -
Chemical Tailoring of Lignin for Functional and Sustainable Material Solutions
(University of Waterloo, 2023-09-01)Lignin, being the second most abundant natural biopolymer after cellulose, constitutes between 18 wt.% and 35 wt.% of wood. Due to its abundance, sustainability, renewability, and the amenability to undergo numerous ... -
Chemical-Looping Technology: Application of Nonlinear Model Predictive Control and Reactor Network Modelling Using Biomass as a Fuel
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-11)As climate change becomes a more pressing issue, there is increasing research being performed to investigate greenhouse gas reduction strategies such as carbon capture technology and sustainable fuels. To this end, ... -
Chemotherapy Treatment Models: Incorporating Tumor Growth and Stochastic Cancer Staging
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-13)Cancer is a deadly disease causing a heavy health burden worldwide throughout the recorded history. Chemotherapy is widely used to treat any type of cancer. With an enormous effort to improve cancer chemotherapy treatment ... -
The Chester 'Command' System c. 71-96 C.E.
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-13)This thesis centres on the operations of the Chester ‘command’ system in the region of North Wales, roughly from the first year in which Petilius Cerialis served as the governor of Britain to the death of Emperor Domitian. ... -

Children accept information from incongruent speakers when the context explains the communicative incongruence
(Elsevier, 2019-07-30)Past work has shown that children are less likely to solicit information from speakers who use incongruent communicative cues (i.e., demonstrate an emotion nonverbally that differs from the emotional valence of the words) ... -
