Organocatalytic Asymmetric Conjugate Addition of Heteroaryl Moieties to α,β-Unsaturated Enones Using Boronates and 3,3ʹ-Disubstituted Binaphthols
(University of Waterloo, 2012-04-30)Asymmetric conjugate addition is an important methodology for carbon-carbon bond formation in organic synthesis. While there is extensive literature on the asymmetric conjugate addition of a wide selection of donors to ... -
Orientation and Transitions of Lyotropic Lamellar Phase under Shear
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-24)The intention of this study is to investigate the evolution and transition of lyotropic lamellar phase and the formation of multi-lamellar vesicles (MLVs) under shear flow, since the shear technology can be used to produce ... -
Orienting to probable stimuli increases speed, precision, and kurtosis. A study in perceptual estimation.
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-15)Stimulus probabilities affect detection performance. Rare targets, even in security or medical screenings, are missed more often than frequent ones. To minimize such probability-related costs, there is a need to understand ... -
Origin of NMR Spectral Features in MCM-41 at Low Hydrations
