Comparing occupational musculoskeletal exposures during common materials handling tasks between non-obese and obese adults
(University of Waterloo, 2017-12-08)Higher body mass is associated with increased risk of musculoskeletal injury, a greater number of insurance claims, and higher direct and indirect costs due to decreased productivity during manual materials handling. Over ... -
Engineering Applications of Surface Plasmon Resonance: Protein–Protein and Protein–Molecule Interactions
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-29)Protein-protein and protein-molecule interactions are complicated phenomena due to the tendency of proteins to change shape and function in response to their environment. Protein aggregation whether onto surfaces or in ... -
Hydrogenation of unsaturated polymers in latex form
(University of Waterloo, 2005)Diimide generated from the hydrazine/hydrogen peroxide/catalyst system can be used to hydrogenate unsaturated polymers in latex form. As an economical and environmentally benign alternative to the commercial processes ... -
Kinetic Investigation and Modelling of Multi-Component Polymer Systems with Depropagation
(University of Waterloo, 2005)The phenomenon of depropagation or reverse polymerization for multicomponent polymerizations has been studied in detail. The monomer Alpha-Methyl Styrene (AMS) has been copolymerized with Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) and ... -
A New Crystal Plasticity Framework to Simulate Plastic Deformation Phenomena in Precipitation Hardened Aluminum Alloys
(University of Waterloo, 2022-04-26)This thesis outlines the development of a numerical framework for simulating aluminum alloys that exhibit the precipitation hardening phenomenon. A novel crystal plasticity-based precipitation strengthening model is ... -
Sorptive Removal of 4-Aminophenol from Water Using a Polymeric Sorbent
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-27)This study deals with isotherm, kinetics and mechanistic studies pertaining to the sorption of 4-aminophenol from water using poly(ether-block-amide) (PEBA). A combined Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm model is used to ... -
Surface Chemistry of Hexacyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons on (2x1) and Modified Surfaces of Si(100)
(University of Waterloo, 2004)Room-temperature chemisorption of hexacyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on the 2x1, sputtered, oxidized and H-terminated Si(100) surfaces, as well as those upon post treatments of hydrogenation, oxidization and electron irradiation ... -
Thermodynamics, kinetics and inclusion body formation of a de novo designed protein Threefoil
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-28)Threefoil is a small engineered protein of 141 amino acids which is a member of the beta-trefoil superfamily, with three-fold symmetry and high thermal and kinetic stability. Its primary sequence was designed based on a ... -
Two weeks of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation increases synthesis-secretion kinetics of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids compared to 8 weeks of DHA supplementation
(Elsevier, 2018-10)Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) must be consumed in the diet or synthesized from n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) precursors. However, the effect of dietary DHA on the metabolic pathway is not fully understood. ...
