Assembly of DNA-Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles with Gaps and Overhangs in Linker DNA
(American Chemical Society, 2011-04-28)DNA-directed assembly of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has been extensively studied because of its important applications in analytical chemistry, materials science, and nanomedicine. In a typical system, two DNA-functionalized ... -
Assembly of DNA-Functionalized Nanoparticles in Alcoholic Solvents Reveals Opposite Thermodynamic and Kinetic Trends for DNA Hybridization
(American Chemical Society, 2010-05-12)DNA has been a key molecule in biotechnology and nanotechnology. To date, the majority of the experiments involving DNA have been performed in aqueous solutions, which may be related to the perception that DNA hybridization ... -
Assembly: A Revaluation of Public Space in Toronto
(University of Waterloo, 2005)This thesis focuses on the problem of defining and designing public space in contemporary mass society. "Assembly" revaluates a cultural understanding of public space as the space of regulation, consumption and leisure, ... -
Assessing a binary measurement system: A new plan using targeted verification with conditional sampling and baseline information
(Elsevier, 2019-11)We investigate efficient plans to assess the misclassification error rates of a binary measurement system used as an in-line inspection protocol. We assume that parts can be inspected repeatedly and that each part has its ... -
Assessing Au-Al Wire Bond Reliability Using Integrated Stress Sensors
(University of Waterloo, 2010-04-30)Wire bond reliability testing typically consists of aging bonds in a high temperature environment for long time periods, and removing samples at intervals to assess bond shear strength and characterize the bond cross ... -
Assessing Binary Measurement Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-19)Binary measurement systems (BMS) are widely used in both manufacturing industry and medicine. In industry, a BMS is often used to measure various characteristics of parts and then classify them as pass or fail, according ... -
Assessing Binary Measurement Systems Using Targeted Verification with a Gold Standard
(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-19)Binary Measurement Systems (BMS) are used to classify objects into two categories. Sometimes the categories represent some intrinsically dichotomous characteristic of the object, but sometimes continuous or even multidimensional ... -
Assessing Consistency of Scenarios Across Scales Developing globally linked internally consistent scenarios under the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways framework
(University of Waterloo, 2020-07-02)In global environmental change research, anticipating the implications of large-scale environmental changes on local development is an important endeavour for mitigating and adapting to difficult challenges. Researchers ... -
Assessing Convective Heat Transfer Coefficients Associated with Indoor Shading Attachments Using a New Technique Based on Computational Fluid Dynamics
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2015-01)ASHRAE research project RP-1311 concluded with the creation of simulation models, the ASHWAT models, for glazing systems with shading attachments. Such assemblies are known as Complex Fenestration Systems (CFS). ASHWAT ... -
Assessing Dietary Outcomes in Intervention Studies: Pitfalls, Strategies, and Research Needs
(MDPI, 2018-07-31)To inform strategies to improve the dietary intakes of populations, robust evaluations of interventions are required. This paper is drawn from a workshop held at the International Society of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical ... -
Assessing hydrological processes controlling the water balance of lakes in the Peace-Athabasca Delta, Alberta, Canada using water isotope tracers
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-22)One of the world’s largest freshwater deltas (~4000 km2), the Peace-Athabasca Delta (PAD), is located at the convergence of the Peace and Athabasca rivers and Lake Athabasca in northern Alberta, Canada. Since the early ... -
Assessing hydrometeorological controls on subalpine plant community evapotranspiration and evaluating the METRIC method using high-resolution UAV imagery in the Canadian Rocky Mountains
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-06)Subalpine wetlands in the Canadian Rocky Mountains function as buffers for snowmelt runoff towards downstream systems and communities. However, hydrological regimes are changing rapidly in these ecosystems due to climate ... -
Assessing Innovative Technologies for Nitrate Removal from Drinking Water
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-22)Several health problems may be caused by excess nitrate in drinking water, the most important of which being methemoglobinemia, a potentially fatal disorder, in infants under six months of age. Many different parts of ... -
Assessing Input Uncertainty in Commodity-Based Freight Demand Models
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-27)Freight demand models are a set of tools utilized for the forecasting, planning, analysis, and/or optimization of the movement of commodities, such as the billions-of-dollars-worth of goods and services that are moved ... -
