IN VIVO EPIGENETIC STUDY OF HISTONE ACETYLATION ASSOCIATED WITH OBESITY
(University of Waterloo, 2007-10-02)Post translational modifications in histone proteins are transmissible changes that are not coded for in the DNA sequence itself but have a significant affect in the control of gene expression. Eukaryotic transcription is ... -
In Vivo Imaging of Corneal Conditions using Optical Coherence Tomography
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Purposes: To use optical coherence tomography (OCT) to image and quantify the effect of various corneal conditions, in terms of corneal, stromal and epithelial thickness, and light backscatter. To assess the changes ... -
In vivo Imaging of Light Induced Intrinsic Optical Signals in the Chicken Retina with a Combined Ultra-High Resolution Optical Coherence Tomography and Electroretinography System
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-15)The main objective of this thesis is to investigate the intrinsic optical signals (IOSs) with an ultra-high resolution optical coherence tomography system (UHROCT). In order to study the retinal IOSs evoked by visible ... -
In vivo Solid Phase Microextraction for Brain Tissue Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2014-03-31)New solid phase microextraction (SPME) method was developed for brain tissue bioanalysis on a liquid chromatography mass spectrometry platform. To achieve set objectives, in vivo SPME desorption process was optimized for ... -
“In Works of Hands or of the Wits of Men”: The Elegies of Wim Wenders, Laurie Anderson and Alexander Sokurov
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-22)This dissertation explores the concept of loss and the possibility of consolation in Wim Wenders’s The Salt of the Earth, Laurie Anderson’s Heart of a Dog and Alexander Sokurov’s Oriental Elegy through a method that ... -
In-between Boundaries
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-27)While the highway infrastructure of North America provides great benefits by connecting both urban and rural communities, this infrastructure also comes with significant costs by separating and creating barriers between ... -
An In-Depth Exploration of the High-Quality Entity Linking for Information Retrieval: MMEAD
(University of Waterloo, 2023-12-19)Entity linking has emerged significantly during the digital information explosion, aiming to provide context and meaning to huge amounts of unstructured data. While traditional information retrieval primarily relied on ... -
An In-Depth Look at Repeated Propagation of Multiple Viruses Simultaneously in Insect Cell Culture
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-22)It is well known that the insect cell-baculovirus expression vector system (IC-BEVS) can be used for the production of various proteins of interest and virus-like particles (VLPs). In the past, many higher order proteins ... -
In-Memory Storage for Labeled Tree-Structured Data
(University of Waterloo, 2017-03-16)In this thesis, we design in-memory data structures for labeled and weights trees, so that various types of path queries or operations can be supported with efficient query time. We assume the word RAM model with word size ... -
In-network computation in sensor networks
(University of Waterloo, 2012-12-07)Sensor networks are an important emerging class of networks that have many applications. A sink in these networks acts as a bridge between the sensor nodes and the end-user (which may be automated and/or part of the ... -
