Chronic Nickel and Copper Toxicity in the Hyalella azteca Cryptic Species Complex
(University of Waterloo, 2016-04-26)The amphipod crustacean Hyalella azteca was thought to be a single species, but recent molecular studies have indicated that it is a large cryptic species complex. Previous work has indicated that the H. azteca complex ... -
Effects of Ultrasound in Microelectronic Ultrasonic Wire Bonding
(University of Waterloo, 2007-12-12)Ultrasonic wire bonding is the most utilized technique in forming electrical interconnections in microelectronics. However, there is a lacking in the fundamental understanding of the process. In order for there to be ... -
Evaluation of antimicrobial coatings in wet conditions and development of sulphonated poly (ether ether ketone) - copper composites for antimicrobial applications
(University of Waterloo, 2020-08-06)The existence of pathogenic bacteria and fungi on surfaces can be a serious threat to health causing numerous infections. With microorganisms developing antimicrobial resistance over the years, there is an increasing need ... -
Experimental and Mechanistic Study of Copper Electrodeposition in the Absence and Presence of Chloride Ions and Polyethylene Glycol
(University of Waterloo, 2007-10-24)The trend to miniaturize electronic devices has led to the development of new fabrication processes. Copper electrodeposition has been used extensively in the fabrication of microelectronic circuits due to the excellent ... -
The House of Matter
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-19)Everything falls apart, but some materials do it with a specific panache, and once design leaves paper to be built, no project is complete until it falls. As creatures subject to time, we identify with things in which we ... -
Implications of copper and nickel exposure to different members of the Hyalella azteca species complex
(University of Waterloo, 2014-04-25)Hyalella azteca, an amphipod crustacean, is frequently used in freshwater toxicity tests. Since the mid-1980s, numerous organizations have collected and established cultures of H. azteca originating from localities across ... -
Leveraging Atmospheric-Pressure Spatial Atomic Layer Deposition and Machine Learning for Nanomaterial and Device Design
(University of Waterloo, 2023-07-27)The deposition and design of nanometre-scale oxide films is an integral component of the ongoing nanomaterial revolution, from cell phones, to batteries, to photovoltaics. Atmospheric-pressure spatial atomic layer deposition ... -
Metal Isotope Fractionation Associated with Cu and Zn Attenuation by Zero-Valent Iron in Anaerobic Flow-Through Cell Experiments
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-12)Metal stable isotope fractionation is an emerging tool in the environmental sciences for studying biogeochemical pathways for cycling of metals in the environment. Copper and zinc are essential elements for many biological ... -
Metal Mixture Toxicity to Hyalella azteca: Relationships to Body Concentrations
(University of Waterloo, 2008-01-25)A literature review of metal mixture interaction analyses identified that there was not a consistent method to determine the impact of metal mixtures on an aquatic organism. The review also revealed that a majority of the ...
