Metamorphic History of the Mougooderra Formation, Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia
(University of Waterloo, 2018-12-05)Sedimentary sequences are common in granite-greenstone belts of Archean terranes. In the Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia, the Mougooderra Formation is an extensive sedimentary sequence that preserves low-variance ... -
Methane gas transport in unconfined aquifers: A numerical sensitivity study of a controlled release experiment at CFB Borden
(Elsevier, 2019-08)Subsurface leakage of natural gas from petroleum wells can impact freshwater aquifers. Accurate prediction of gas migration in the subsurface will depend on knowledge of permeability, porosity, and flow system conditions. ... -
Method development for the analysis of soil bacterial communities
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-23)Due to the tremendous diversity and abundance of microbes in environmental and host-associated environments, adequate characterization of these samples remains a challenge for microbiologists. In order to increase the depth ... -
Methodical evaluation and improvement of matrix compatible PDMS-overcoated coating for direct immersion solid phase microextraction gas chromatography (DI-SPME-GC)-based applications
(Elsevier, 2017-05-12)The main quest for the implementation of direct SPME to complex matrices has been the development of matrix compatible coatings that provide sufficient sensitivity towards the target analytes. In this context, we present ... -
Methodologies for capture zone delineation for the Waterloo Moraine well fields
(University of Waterloo, 2000)The Region of Waterloo relies mainly (75 %) on local groundwater resources for its drinking water supply. The water demand is increasing with the growth of the population and there is a need to enhance the present water ... -
Methodology Development for the Electrophilic Aromatic Amination of Secondary Amides
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-25)The intramolecular electrophilic aromatic amination of secondary amides was developed. Secondary N-methoxy and N-p-methoxyphenyl amides were cyclized to oxindoles by triflic anhydride mediated electrophilic activation and ... -
Methods for parallel quantum circuit synthesis, fault-tolerant quantum RAM, and quantum state tomography
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-18)The pace of innovation in quantum information science has recently exploded due to the hope that a quantum computer will be able to solve a multitude of problems that are intractable using classical hardware. Current quantum ... -
Methods of the Alignment-Relay Technique for Nanosystems: Optimization and Innovation
(University of Waterloo, 2020-12-22)This manuscript details the achievements and the scientific evidence for the alignment of single-walled carbon nanotubes for field-effect transistor applications. There has been immense growth in the semiconducting industry ... -
Methylmercury Production in Riverbank Sediments of the South River, Virginia (USA) and Assessment of Biochar as a Mercury Treatment Option
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-24)Mercury (Hg) is a toxic element which bioaccumulates in the food chain when methylated and poses a health risk to the human population mainly through fish consumption. It is released into the environment through both ... -
Metolachlor and TCE Plume Characteristics in a Dolostone Aquifer Using a Transect
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Much is known about natural attenuation of contaminants in granular aquifers because many contaminant plumes in these aquifers have been intensively monitored with detailed sampling along cross sections positioned across ... -
Micelle Assisted Thin-Film Solid Phase Microextraction: A New Approach for Determination of Quaternary Ammonium Compounds in Environmental Samples
(American Chemical Society, 2014-08-22)Determination of quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) often is considered to be a challenging undertaking owing to secondary interactions of the analytes’ permanently charged quaternary ammonium head or hydrophobic tail ... -

(ACS, 2014)Determination of quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) often is considered to be a challenging undertaking owing to secondary interactions of the analytes’ permanently charged quaternary ammonium head or hydrophobic tail ... -
Microbial communities of wastewater in the Canadian Arctic
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-20)Wastewater management in the Canadian Arctic is challenging due to the extreme climate and lack of conventional treatment system infrastructure. To resolve these issues, most Northern communities use waste stabilization ... -
Microbial Community Compositional Stability in Agricultural Soils During Freeze-Thaw and Fertilizer Stress
(University of Waterloo, 2024-01-22)Microbial activity persists in cold region agricultural soils during the fall, winter, and spring (i.e., non-growing season) and frozen condition, with peak activity during thaw events. Climate change is expected to change ... -
Microbial Composition and Functional Diversity in Waste Environments
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-09)Landfilling remains the most common endpoint of discarded waste. At landfill sites, waste is transformed and degraded by microbially mediated processes conducted by different trophic groups, comprised of members of a ... -
Microbial diversity and cellulosic capacity in municipal waste sites
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-25)Cellulose is the most abundant organic compound found on earth. Cellulose’s recalcitrance to hydrolysis is a major limitation to improving the efficiency of industrial applications. The biofuel, pulp and paper, agriculture, ... -
