Talking with and about older adult patients: The socializing power of patient-centered communication in an optometry teaching clinic
(University of Waterloo, 2007-07-31)In a teaching clinic, healthcare students and their supervisors talk with their patients in the examination room and they talk about their patients during teaching consultations outside the examination room. Effective ... -
Tandem DNAzymes for mRNA cleavage: choice of enzyme, metal ions and the antisense effect
(Elsevier, 2015-04-01)The concept of DNAzyme-based gene silencing via mRNA cleavage was proposed over twenty years ago. A number of studies regarding intracellular gene silencing have been reported as well. However, questions have been raised ... -
Tandem Phosphorothioate Modifications for DNA Adsorption Strength and Polarity Control on Gold Nanoparticles
(American Chemical Society, 2014-09-10)Unmodified DNA was recently used to functionalize gold nanoparticles via DNA base adsorption. Compared to thiolated DNA, however, the application of unmodified DNA is limited by the lack of sequence generality, adsorption ... -
Tapasin's protein interactions in the rainbow trout peptide-loading complex
(Elsevier, 2018-04-01)Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I receptors play a key role in the immune system by presenting non-self peptides to T cell lymphocytes. In humans, the assembly of the MHC class I with a peptide is mediated by ... -
Targeted enrichment of cellulase genes using stable-isotope probing and metagenomics
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-23)Cellulose is the most abundant organic compound on the planet, and is found in nearly every ecosystem. Cellulose is also the most abundant waste product produced by human activity. These enormous stores of natural cellulose ... -
Targeted nanoparticle binding & detection in petroleum hydrocarbon impacted porous media
(Elsevier, 2019-01-01)Targeted nanoparticle binding has become a core feature of experimental pharmaceutical product design which enables more efficient payload delivery and enhances medical imaging by accumulating nanoparticles in specific ... -
Targeting novel soil glycosyl hydrolases by combining stable isotope probing and metagenomics
(University of Waterloo, 2014-02-25)Soil represents the largest global reservoir of microbial diversity for the discovery of novel genes and enzymes. Both stable-isotope probing (SIP) and metagenomics have been used to access uncultured microbial diversity, ... -
Taub-NUT Spacetime in the (A)dS/CFT and M-Theory
(University of Waterloo, 2005)In the following thesis, I will conduct a thermodynamic analysis of the Taub-NUT spacetime in various dimensions, as well as show uses for Taub-NUT and other Hyper-Kahler spacetimes. <br /><br /> Thermodynamic analysis ... -
Tear evaporation rates: What does the literature tell us?
(Elsevier, 2017-12-24)Purpose A previous literature review reported tear evaporation rates (TERs) from studies conducted on rabbits and humans between 1941 and 2003. Closer examination of the presented data revealed inaccuracies in the reporting ... -
Tear exchange and contact lenses: A review
(Elsevier, 2015-01)Tear exchange beneath a contact lens facilitates ongoing fluid replenishment between the ocular surface and the lens. This exchange is considerably lower during the wear of soft lenses compared with rigid lenses. As a ... -
The tear ferning test: a simple clinical technique to evaluate the ocular tear film
(Wiley, 2014-08-20)A healthy tear film is very important for many major functions of the ocular surface. Dry eye disease is a significant clinical problem that needs to be solved but the poor correlation between clinical signs and reported ... -
Techniques for Coherent Control of Effective Photon-Photon Interactions at Low Light Levels
(University of Waterloo, 2019-02-01)This thesis proposes improvements on techniques for the coherent control of photon-photon interactions mediated by a cloud of cold atoms. Atoms cooled and trapped in a MOT can be loaded into a hollow, photonic crystal ... -
Tectonic Stresses and Injection-Induced Fault Slip Assessment
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-14)Understanding the Earth's stress state at depth is fundamental to a wide variety of subsurface projects, ranging from seismology projects to studies on underground energy storage or extraction. The primary objectives of ... -
Temperature Effects in Optical Fiber Dispersion Compensation Modules
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-05)This thesis presents the results for the temperature variation of the Differential Group Delay (DGD) measurements of a Dispersion Compensation Module (DCM) and interprets the results with a theoretical DGD model based on ... -
Temperature Response of Aqueous Solutions of Pyrene End-Labeled Poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide)s Probed by Steady-State and Time-Resolved Fluorescence
(Wiley, 2018-02-15)Aqueous solutions of a series of monodisperse poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide)s end‐labeled with n‐butyl‐1‐pyrene at one or both chain ends (Pyn‐PNIPAMs with n = 1 or 2) were studied by turbidimetry, light scattering, and ... -
