(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-23)Fandom-as-religion literature examines similarities between fandom and religion and, in particular, dimensions of the fan experience such as beliefs, emotion, and ritual. This area emerged in the last thirty years and ... -
Cell Cultures from Walleye (Sander vitreus) for Use in Cell Biology and Virology
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-16)This thesis has developed from the walleye, Sander vitreus (Mitchill), cell lines (WE) and used them to study viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV IVb), which is the causative agent for viral hemorrhagic septicaemia ... -
Cell death and proliferation characteristics of the retina after optic nerve section in chickens
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-27)Optic nerve section (ONS) is an experimental model for damage of the optic nerve associated with diseases such as glaucoma and optic neuritis. Damage to the optic nerve causes loss of retinal ganglion cells that are ... -
Cell Density-Dependent Changes in the Localization of the CD26 Protein in Colorectal Cancer Cells in Response to Flavonoid Treatment
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-24)Colorectal cancer is the 3rd most common cancer worldwide and this rate of incidence is largely attributable to lifestyle factors such as the diet. A group of plant secondary metabolites called flavonoids has been found ... -
Cell Manipulations with Dielectrophoresis
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-24)Biological sample analysis is a costly and time-consuming process. It involves highly trained technicians operating large and expensive instruments in a temperature and dust controlled environment. In the world of rising ... -
Cell Path Reconstruction Using 3D Digital Inpainting
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-06)Digital inpainting is the reconstruction of a missing or damaged region in a digital image. Intensity values in the missing region are approximated using information near the boundary of the region. Some applications include ... -
Cell Permeabilization Using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide
(University of Waterloo, 2001)Supercritical fluids have unique properties which may make them ideal as reaction media for biotransformation or extractive solvents. Supercritical fluids are ideal for reducing diffusivity limitations over conventional ... -
Cellular changes at the lid margin
(University of Waterloo, 2017-11-28)PURPOSE: The hypothesis underlying this thesis is that CL wear, lid wiper epitheliopathy (LWE), and symptoms of dryness and discomfort may be manifest as cellular changes of the lid marginal epithelium, as a result of ... -
Cellular Inclusion Bodies: Structure and Mechanisms
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-18)Inclusion bodies (IBs) are insoluble aggregate structures that commonly form upon overexpression of proteins in heterologous hosts with relevance to biomedicine and biotechnology. These structures are of broad interest in ... -
Cellulose Nanocrystal Aqueous Inks Evaluated for Printed Electronics and Application to Thin-film Transistors
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-01)With increasing demand for smart features on consumer items, it is imperative that a new class of environmentally sustainable processing methods and materials are developed in order to enable smart functionality on mass ... -
Cellulose Nanocrystal Hybrids as Reinforcing and Antibacterial Agents in Rubber Nanocomposites
(University of Waterloo, 2020-08-31)As environmental consciousness increases and fossil fuel feedstocks are depleted, ecofriendly product development is of utmost importance. This thesis describes an in-depth analysis of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) used as ... -
Cellulose Nanocrystals Incorporated Nanocomposites for Water Treatment Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-12)Water is the elixir of life; however, it is being increasingly contaminated by a wide variety of contaminants from industrial, municipal and agricultural sources like dyes, heavy metal ions, food additives, pharmaceuticals, ... -
Cellulose – Polycarbonate Nanocomposites: A novel automotive window alternative
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-29)Nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) has great potential as a reinforcing agent in thermoplastics (such as polyesters, polyamides and polycarbonates) due to its high mechanical strength and aspect ratio – being compared with ... -
