Gibbs Energy Dynamic Yield Method (GEDYM): Predicting microbial growth yields under energy-limiting conditions
(Elsevier, 2018-11-15)Biomass-explicit biogeochemical models assign microbial growth yields (Y) using values measured in the laboratory or predicted using thermodynamics-based methods. However, Y values are rarely measured under the low energy ... -
Glacial Dispersion at the Canadian Malartic Gold Deposit
(University of Waterloo, 2024-04-19)A novel drift prospecting approach detected components from previously established bedrock footprints at the world-class Canadian Malartic gold deposit within the site’s surrounding Quaternary sediments. The measured glacial ... -
Glassy States in Asymmetric Mixtures of Soft and Hard Colloids
(APS Physics, 2013-11-14)By employing rheological experiments, mode coupling theory, and computer simulations based on realistic coarse-grained models, we investigate the effects of small, hard colloids on the glassy states formed by large, soft ... -
Global motion perception is associated with motor function in 2-year-old children
(Elsevier, 2017-09-29)The dorsal visual processing stream that includes V1, motion sensitive area V5 and the posterior parietal lobe, supports visually guided motor function. Two recent studies have reported associations between global motion ... -
Global Risk Assessment of Natural Disasters: new perspectives
(University of Waterloo, 2014-06-20)Natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides and volcanic activities has had devastating effects on human life. Risk is the probability of harmful consequences from the interaction of hazards and vulnerable ... -
Global Study of Tailings Dam Failures by Statistical and Remote Sensing Methods
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-26)The growth of the mining industry, mainly driven by increased resource demands, has accelerated the production and storage of mine waste. Tailings comprise the fine-grained fraction of this waste. Due to their intrinsically ... -
Glucopsychosine increases cytosolic calcium to induce calpain-mediated apoptosis of acute myeloid leukemia cells.
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-20)To identify novel anti-cancer agents, we created and screened a unique nutraceutical library for activity against acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. From this screen, we determined that glucopsychosine was selectively ... -
Glutathione-s-transferase modified electrodes for detecting anticancer drugs
(Elsevier, 2014-03-07)With the fast growth of cancer research, new analytical methods are needed to measure anticancer drugs. This is usually accomplished by using sophisticated analytical instruments. Biosensors are attractive candidates for ... -
Gold nanoparticle self-assembly as means for making electrocatalysts and magnetic nanonets and their application for oxygen evolution reaction and water purification
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-09)Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are widely researched materials in nanotechnology due to their distinct properties like surface plasmon resonance and ability to self-assemble. Citrate capped gold nanoparticles assembled into ... -
Gold nanoparticles as dehydrogenase mimicking nanozymes for estradiol degradation
(Elsevier, 2019-09)Nanozyme catalysis has been mainly focused on a few chromogenic and fluorogenic substrates, while environmentally and biologically important compounds need to be tested to advance the field. In this work, we studied oxidation ... -
Good Golly, Why Moly? THE STABLE ISOTOPE GEOCHEMISTRY OF MOLYBDENUM

GPCR and RTK Regulation in Neurons: The Impact of Stress on GPCR and RTK signalling and Crosstalk
(University of Waterloo, 2020-04-14)Crosstalk between receptors allows for the integration of diverse and complex signalling pathways. Transactivation is a form of crosstalk between G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) and receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). ... -
Graft Polymers: From Dendrimer Hybrids to Latex Particles
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-28)The research presented focused on the synthesis and the characterization of graft polymers, of interest either as model systems or for large-scale applications. The materials selected as substrates for grafting reactions ... -
Graphene Encapsulation for Cells: A Bio-Sensing and Device Platform
(University of Waterloo, 2014-04-30)The generation of new nanoscale fabrication techniques is both novel and necessary for the generation of new devices and new materials. Graphene, a heavily studied and versatile material, provides new avenues to generate ... -
Gravitational Thermodynamics: From Black Holes to Holography
(University of Waterloo, 2021-06-01)The subject of gravitational thermodynamics lies at the center of numerous fields of study, many of which may seem disconnected, yet have proven to be deeply entwined. This thesis examines two primary facets of this subject, ... -
Greenhouse gas cycling in experimental boreal reservoirs
(University of Waterloo, 2009-01-05)Hydroelectric reservoirs account for 59% of the installed electricity generating capacity in Canada and 26% in Ontario. Reservoirs also provide irrigation capacity, drinking water, and recreational opportunities. Further, ... -
Greenhouse gas flux and budget from an experimentally flooded wetland using stable isotopes and geochemistry
(University of Waterloo, 2003)A boreal forest wetland (L979) was flooded in 1993 at the Experimental Lakes Area, Ontario to imitate a hydroelectric reservoir and to study the effects of flooding on greenhouse gas production and emission. Flooding ... -
Ground states of linear rotor chains via the density matrix renormalization group
