(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-08)Analyzing microbial genomes found in archaeological samples can provide insights into the origins of modern infectious diseases. A large-scale metagenomic analysis of archeological samples discovered bacterial species ... -
Petrogenesis of Archean granitoids: Insights from inverse and forward modelling
(University of Waterloo, 2022-06-24)Archean granitoids are the earliest representation of continental crust on Earth. The Archean geological record is dominated by rocks of the tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite (TTG) suite, which are thought to have formed ... -
The Petrogenesis of Pseudocarbonatites in Bancroft Region, Southwestern Grenville Province
(University of Waterloo, 2022-02-15)Carbonatites are rare igneous rocks that form from fractionation of carbonate-rich, silica undersaturated magma. The petrogenesis of pseudocarbonatites (rocks that are similar to carbonatites, but without a clear mantle ... -
Petrogenesis of the Bissett Creek flake graphite deposit: Implications for regional graphite mineralization models in the Grenville Province, Ontario
(University of Waterloo, 2018-07-16)Graphite is a critical component of green and renewable energy technologies. In Ontario, graphite deposits are scattered throughout the pre-Grenvillian Laurentian Margin and the Composite Arc Belt of the Grenville Province. ... -
Petroleomic analysis of the treatment of naphthenic organics in oil sands process-affected water with buoyant photocatalysts
(Elsevier, 2018-09-15)The persistence of toxicity associated with the soluble naphthenic organic compounds (NOCs) of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) implies that a treatment solution may be necessary to enable safe return of this water ... -
PETROLOGY, TECTONIC SETTING, AND REGIONAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE OPHIOLITIC LIUYUAN COMPLEX, NW CHINA
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-03)Located along the southern margin of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), the mafic 290-280 Ma Liuyuan Complex stratigraphy and tectonic setting have been controversial for decades. Here, the results of a detailed field ... -
pH-Responsive Poly(Ethylene Glycol)- block -Polylactide Micelles for Tumor-Targeted Drug Delivery
(American Chemical Society, 2017-08-16)A biodegradable micellar drug delivery system with a pH-responsive sheddable PEG shell was developed using an acetal-linked poly(ethylene glycol)-block-polylactide (PEG-a-PLA) copolymer and applied to the tumoral release ... -
Pharmaceutical Applications of Gemini Surfactants
(University of Waterloo, 2011-01-10)Gemini surfactants are an intriguing class of surface active agents that are comprised of two surfactant monomers chemically linked at or near the headgroups by a rigid or flexible spacer. In comparison to their corresponding ... -
Pharmacist experience with providing care for patients with chronic pain in the community setting: A qualitative study
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-20)Objectives: Chronic pain is a condition pharmacists frequently encounter in practice; however, the pharmacist’s role in the management of chronic pain is under-investigated. This study examines pharmacist perceptions and ... -
Pharmacokinetic and economic implications when switching between hemophilia A treatments
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-18)Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder in which the blood is unable to form clots, and is also classified as severe (defined as having an endogenous factor VIII [FVIII] concentration < 1 IU/dL, or 1%), moderate (1-5%) or mild ... -
Pharmacokinetic modelling of clinically relevant situations in the treatment of hemophilia A and B
(University of Waterloo, 2020-04-03)Hemophilia is a congenital bleeding disorder caused by deficiency of clotting factor VIII (FVIII; hemophilia A) or IX (FIX; hemophilia B). Severe hemophilia patients have less than 1% (or 1 IU/dL) of normal factor activity, ... -
Pharmacy patron perspectives of community pharmacist administered influenza vaccinations
(Elsevier, 2019-02)One approach to boost influenza vaccination coverage has been to expand immunization authority. In 2012, the province of Ontario gave community pharmacists the authority to administer the influenza vaccine. -
Pharmacy5in5: Evaluating a computer-based education platform to improve pharmacists’ knowledge and behaviour
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-30)Background The pharmacist’s role continues to evolve and expand from the traditional role of dispensing to a more patient-centered model of care. However, many pharmacists still fall short in terms of their provision of ... -
Phase Relations, Reaction Sequences and Petrochronology
(Mineralogical Society of America, 2017-02-01)Phase equilibria modelling has played a key role in enhancing our understanding of metamorphic processes. An important breakthrough in the last three decades has been the ability to construct phase diagrams by integrating ... -
