Selenate Reduction by Granular Iron and the Associated Isotope Fractionation
(University of Waterloo, 2013-11-27)Research in selenium isotopes has been gaining interest as new contaminated sites are identified around the world. Selenium is an emerging contaminant, as it is increasingly being released through anthropogenic activities. ... -
Seleukos IV Philopator
(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-01)This thesis seeks to prove that Seleukos IV Philopator was a competent ruler after the death of his father and throughout his peaceful 12 year reign. Seleukos was a king who led a successful reign and led the Seleukid ... -
Self, Materiality, and National Identity: The Dilemma of Authenticity Among Millennial Industrial Designers in China
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-29)By analyzing the discourse relating to the dilemma of authenticity among millennial industrial designers in China, the major objective of this thesis is to gain insights into the values, beliefs, practices, and ethics of ... -
Self-assembled gold nanochain based materials as building blocks to fabricate flexible devices and electrocatalysts
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-25)1D metal nanostructures are being actively researched as a component in next-generation electronic devices and as highly efficient electrocatalysts. 1D gold nanomaterials can be designed by controlling the aspect ratio and ... -
Self-assembled Metal Organic Framework Microflowers as Polysulfides Immobilizers for Lithium Sulfur Batteries
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-18)A unique flower-like metal organic framework (ZnHMT) is synthesized by a facile and efficient method. The obtained ZnHMT microflowers were employed for the construction of a multifunctional interlayer towards improved Li-S ... -
Self-assembling Peptide for HIV-1 Vaccine Design
(University of Waterloo, 2015-12-17)Human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) is a worldwide epidemic, which cannot be eliminated by any current therapeutics, even with highly active antiretroviral therapy, which only can control virus replication. A safe and ... -
Self-Assembling Peptide-Carbon Nanotube Dispersions and Hydrogels for Tissue Engineering and Biosensor Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-25)Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are attractive functional materials for use in a broad range of fields due to their unique mechanical and electrical properties. However, their hydrophobic nature is a major problem for some of these ... -
Self-Assembling Peptides as Potential Carriers for the Delivery of the Hydrophobic Anticancer Agent Ellipticine
(University of Waterloo, 2008-03-11)Self-assembling peptides have emerged as new nanobiomaterials in the areas of nanoscience and biomedical engineering. In this category are self-assembling, ionic-complementary peptides, which contain a repeating charge ... -
The Self-Assembly of Particles with Isotropic Interactions
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-26)In recent years there has been much interest in the self-assembly of materials. Much of this research has been focused on the self-assembly of particles in solution (colloids), typically on the order of nanometres or ... -
Self-association of Oligoquinoline Foldamers Probed by Time-Resolved Fluorescence Anisotropy
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-31)The self-associations of oligoquinoline-based foldamers (OPV-QₙA with n = 4, 8, 17, and 33) terminated at one end with a carboxylic acid (A) and at the other end with the fluorescent dye oligo(phenylene vinylene) (OPV) ... -
Self-Complementary Arc-Transitive Graphs and Their Imposters
(University of Waterloo, 2009-01-28)This thesis explores two infinite families of self-complementary arc-transitive graphs: the familiar Paley graphs and the newly discovered Peisert graphs. After studying both families, we examine a result of Peisert which ... -
Self-discharge of Rechargeable Hybrid Aqueous Battery
