Integration of Nanoparticle Cell Lysis and Microchip PCR as a Portable Solution for One-Step Rapid Detection of Bacteria
(University of Waterloo, 2011-05-20)Bacteria are the oldest, structurally simplest, and most abundant forms of life on earth. Its detection has always been a serious question since the emerging of modern science and technology. There has been a phenomenal ... -
Integration of Nanostructures and Quantum Dots into Spherical Silicon Solar Cells
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-26)In order to improve the optical losses of spherical silicon solar cells, new fabrication designs were presented. The new device structures are fabricated based on integration of nanostructures into spherical silicon solar ... -
Integration of New Technologies into Existing Mature Process to Improve Efficiency and Reduce Energy Consumption
(University of Waterloo, 2009-06-30)Optimal operation of plants is becoming more important due to increasing competition and small and changing profit margins for many products. One major reason has been the realization by industry that potentially large ... -
Integration of non-traditional stable isotopes and synchrotron measurements
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-31)Selenium is well named after the moon, because statements about this element must often be qualified, making it feel ever changing; for instance, Se is a nutrient, but an excess of 400 µg per day is toxic for humans. High ... -
Integration of Ozone and Ultrasound Activated Sludge Pre-Treatments into a Wastewater Treatment Whole-Plant Simulator
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-20)Modern wastewater treatment provides great benefit to society by reducing the transmission of disease. In recent years computer simulation of whole plants has allowed for improved design and more economical consideration ... -
