Advanced Water Treatment Strategies for the Removal of Natural and Synthetic Organic Contaminants
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-24)Prior to full-scale implementation of process modifications at the Brantford WTP, a pilot-scale treatability study was conducted to investigate intermediate ozonation/AOP and to determine the most suitable granular media ... -
Development of Sensitive In Vitro Assays to Assess the Ocular Toxicity Potential of Chemicals and Ophthalmic Products
(University of Waterloo, 2009-04-27)The utilization of in vitro tests with a tiered testing strategy for detection of mild ocular irritants can reduce the use of animals for testing, provide mechanistic data on toxic effects, and reduce the uncertainty ... -
Hydrogen peroxide is vasoactive in the mesenteric arteries of spontaneously hypertensive rats
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-22)It is well established that hypertension decreases endothelium-dependent vasomotor function, partially by excessive generation and reduced scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Nevertheless, at appropriate levels, ... -
Iron Nanoparticles for In Situ Chemical Oxidation
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-09)Recently, metal nanoparticles have attracted the attention of researchers in several fields of study due to their high surface area and other unique properties. Using metal nanoparticles as a component of an in situ ... -
Mechanisms of over-active endothelium-derived contracting factor signaling causing common carotid artery endothelial vasomotor dysfunction in hypertension and aging
(University of Waterloo, 2011-03-09)Background and Purpose: The endothelium is a single-cell layer positioned at the blood-vascular wall interface, where in response to blood-borne signals and hemodynamic forces, endothelial cells act as central regulators ... -
Photochemical Degradation of Chlorobenzene
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-02)Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are organic compounds of anthropogenic origin that have been linked to the development of cancer, neurobehavioural impairment, and immune system biochemical alterations. These chemicals ...
