Production and fractionation of antioxidant peptides from soy protein isolate using sequential membrane ultrafiltration and nanofiltration
(University of Waterloo, 2012-04-17)Antioxidants are molecules capable of stabilizing and preventing oxidation. Certain peptides, protein hydrolysates, have shown antioxidant capacities, which are obtained once liberated from the native protein structure. ... -
Production and Modeling of Recombinant Protein
(University of Waterloo, 2007-01-19)Computational models of recombinant production of tissue-type Plasminogen Activator (tPA) were created, studied and compared for two hosts, Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO)cells and Escherichia coli (E. coli), using SuperPro® ... -
Production of Linear Alkybenzene Sulfonic Acid (LAS) at High Pressure in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Medium
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-26)Linear Alkyl benzene Sulfonic Acid (LAS) is the main ingredient of many commercial formulations for industrial and domestic synthetic detergents. The current industrial LAS production method includes sulfonation of linear ... -
Production of 3-hydroxy acids from acetate in engineered Escherichia coli
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-21)Acetate serves as an uncommon carbon source for metabolic engineering of value-added chemicals. As a carbon source, acetate has unique advantages since it is not derived from food sources and can be produced as a waste ... -
Production of a camelid antibody in CHO cells and its potential for the in vitro modification of its N-glycan using N- acetylglucosaminyltransferase III produced in insect cells
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-07)Monoclonal antibodies have been extensively used for clinical diagnosis over the years. Beyond their ability to bind antigens, their ability to invoke or evade immune responses has also led to their use in therapeutic ... -
Production of Highly Monodisperse Polystyrene by Evaporative Purification
(University of Waterloo, 2017-12-14)In this thesis, I will demonstrate a simple evaporative purification method to separate a polydisperse polystyrene with small molecular weight into highly monodisperse components (N-mers) ranging from 3-mers to 13-mers. ... -
The Production of Space for Entrepreneurship: State-Led Gentrification & Innovation along the ION Light Rail Transit Line in the Region of Waterloo
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-26)The Region of Waterloo is rapidly transforming along the route of the ION Light Rail Transit Line as expansions in the innovation industry and investments in public space enhance a new linear core. As the transit line ... -
Production Scheduling Optimization of a Plastics Compounding Plant with Quality Constraints
(University of Waterloo, 2009-01-21)Production scheduling is a common problem that occurs in multi-product manufacturing facilities where a wide range of products are produced in small quantities, resulting in frequent changeovers. A plastics compounding ... -
Production, Fractionation, and Evaluation of Antioxidant Potential of Peptides Derived from Soy Protein Digests
(University of Waterloo, 2010-06-08)Oxidation plays an important role in the basic processes of life, such as the production of energy and phagocytosis employed by the immune system. However, when an imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants exists in ... -
Professional Ethics for Economists: A Reflection on DeMartino's Oath
(University of Waterloo, 2024-02-16)Economists and the discipline of economics occupy positions of immense institutional and intellectual authority in the world today. Decisions made based on the advice and expertise of economists influence the lives of ... -
Profiling Alloy Models
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-03)Modeling of software-intensive systems using formal declarative modeling languages offers a means of managing software complexity through the use of abstraction and early identification of correctness issues by formal ... -
Profiling Concurrent Programs Using Hardware Counters
(University of Waterloo, 2005)Concurrency is a programming tool that is widely used in applications. Concurrent user-level threads can be used to structure the execution of a program in a uniprocessor environment and/or speed up its execution in ... -
Profiling Municipal Decision Agendas: A Pilot Study of Southern Ontario
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-24)Canadian local governments have been consistently described as having a relatively limited role in policymaking. It has been argued in the local government literature that municipalities abide by the mandate imposed by ... -
Profiling skin-associated archaea and bacteria with 16S rRNA and cpn60 genes
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-13)As the largest organ of the mammalian body, skin is associated with commensal microorganisms that impact host health. Characterizing host-microbe associations is critical to our understanding of skin health, function, and ... -
A profit Sharing Pension Plan
(University of Waterloo, 2021-01-05)As Traditional Defined Benefit (DB) plans are declining, more companies are switching to Defined Contribution (DC) plans. However, DC plans have significant disadvantages since employees bear all investment and longevity ... -
Programmable Individual Addressing and Floquet Hamiltonian Dynamics in a Trapped Ion Quantum Processor
(University of Waterloo, 2023-09-26)Trapped ions have been gaining traction as a platform for quantum information processing (QIP) in both academia and industry over the last decade. Their long coherence time, high fidelity gate operations, and built-in ... -
