High throughput solid phase microextraction: A new alternative for analysis of cellular lipidome?
(Elsevier, 2017-02-01)A new SPME method for untargeted lipidomic study of cell line cultures was proposed for the first time. In this study the feasibility to monitor changes in lipid profile after external stimuli was demonstrated and compared ... -
High-Resolution Geophysical Characterization of an Ethanol Release into an Existing Gasoline-Impacted Zone
(University of Waterloo, 2012-04-09)This study aims to evaluate the ability of high-frequency (450 and 900 MHz) ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to monitor the effects of an ethanol release over an existing gasoline-contaminated zone. In September 2009, 184L ... -
High-resolution infrared emission spectroscopy of diatomic and triatomic metal hydrides
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Several hydrides of Group 2 and 12 elements were generated in the gas phase using an emission source that combines an electrical discharge with a high temperature furnace, and their high-resolution infrared emission spectra ... -
High-resolution laboratory spectroscopy of transient metal-containing molecules
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-14)Ten gaseous transient metal-containing molecules have been synthesized and studied by high resolution spectroscopy. Transient molecules are molecules with a short lifetime, and they play an important role in chemistry ... -
High-throughput analysis of biological fluids using 96-blade (thin-film) solid phase microextraction system
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-07)The initial research of this thesis involves the evaluation of different strategies for developing diverse chemistries of highly stable coatings for the automated 96-blade (thin-film) solid phase microextraction (SPME) ... -
High-throughput OpenArray™: novel, swift TaqMan® Real-Time PCR chip for diagnostic biomarkers in Oncorhynchus tshawytscha
(University of Waterloo, 2024-01-26)In 2014, aquaculture replaced capture fisheries as the primary source of fish supply for human consumption for the first time in history, but to date, fish domestication has not developed enough to cope with the ... -
Higher dimensional Taub-NUT spaces and applications
(University of Waterloo, 2006)In the first part of this thesis we discuss classes of new exact NUT-charged solutions in four dimensions and higher, while in the remainder of the thesis we make a study of their properties and their possible applications. ... -
A Highly Active RNA-Cleaving DNAzyme with Accelerated Activity by Ethanol and by Freezing
(University of Waterloo, 2018-04-27)DNAzymes are functional DNA molecules with catalytic activities. The EtNa is an example of a RNA-cleaving DNAzyme that catalyzes the cleavage reaction of a phosphodiester bond in the presence of metal ions, such as Na+ or ... -
A highly specific sodium aptamer probed by 2-aminopurine for robust Na+ sensing
(Oxford University Press, 2016-09-20)Sodium is one of the most abundant metals in the environment and in biology, playing critical ecological and physiological roles. Na+ is also the most common buffer salt for nucleic acids research, while its specific ... -
Hillock-free and atomically smooth InSb QWs grown on GaAs substrates by MBE
(Elsevier, 2019-05-01)Comprehensive studies on the surface morphological evolution of AlInSb metamorphic buffers and InSb QWs grown on top were conducted as a function of the GaAs (0 0 1) substrate offcut angles. We confirmed our earlier ... -
Historical overview of imaging the meibomian glands
(Elsevier, 2013-01)Growing knowledge of the role of the meibomian glands in dry eye disease and contact lens discomfort has resulted in a surge of interest in visualizing these glands within the eyelids. This manuscript provides an overview ... -
Historical Trends in Water Quality in the Grand River, Ontario: Reconstruction of Phosphorus Loadings
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-29)Phosphorus, a mineral nutrient, is an essential element in aquatic systems. It is only available for biological activity in the form of orthophosphate and soluble restrictive phosphate. Eutrophication, caused by nutrient ... -
Historical trends of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans in fish and sediment associated with two bleached kraft pulp mills in northern Ontario.
(University of Waterloo, 2013-12-11)In the early 1990s polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin (PCDD) and dibenzofuran (PCDF) contamination of fish was widely associated with bleached kraft pulp mills. Regulations were put into place in Canada and elsewhere to ... -
Hodge Theory for Geometrically Frustrated Magnetism
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-29)We present an analytical formalism based on the concept of discrete differential forms and Hodge theory as a framework for understanding geometrically frustrated magnetism. The primary insight is to treat spins as a 1-form ... -
Holographic Correspondence and Exploring New Regimes of AdS/CFT Duality
(University of Waterloo, 2013-06-21)We aim to have a comprehensive understanding of holographic correspondence and to demonstrate how the holographic correspondence (or renormalization) can be applied. Thus this thesis is divided into two parts. The first ... -
Holographic Entanglement Entropy: RG Flows and Singular Surfaces
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-23)Over the past decade, the AdS/CFT correspondence has proven to be a remarkable tool to study various properties of strongly coupled field theories. In the context of the holography, Ryu and Takayanagi have proposed an ... -
Holographic Experiments on Defects
(University of Waterloo, 2009-09-03)Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we study the anisotropic transport properties of both supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric matter fields on (2+1)-dimensional defects coupled to a (3+1)-dimensional N=4 SYM "heat bath". ... -
Holographic Optical Manipulation of Trapped Ions for Quantum Simulation
