Model-Based Estimation of the Prevalence of Chronic Hepatitis B in Canada and Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Implementing a Universal Birth Hepatitis B Vaccination Program in Ontario, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2022-07-26)BACKGROUND Hepatitis B is a potentially life-threatening acute or chronic disease that is caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV). The development of chronic disease is age-dependent, with the highest risk in the infant population. ... -
Modeling a controlled-sourced, multichemical plume undergoing natural attenuation
(University of Waterloo, 2004)Sampling of an emplaced creosote source installed below the water table at CFB Borden was conducted over a period of ten years, with over nine thousand samples taken from approximately 250 multilevel samplers. This ... -
Modeling age-related ocular media changes using the Farnsworth Munsell (FM) 100-Hue Test
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-31)Introduction: Evaluation of chromatic discrimination can help diagnose and monitor diseases and disorders of the visual system; however, normal age-related changes can make diagnosing colour discrimination losses challenging. ... -
Modeling and managing noise in quantum error correction
(University of Waterloo, 2023-10-19)Simulating a quantum system to full accuracy is very costly and often impossible as we do not know the exact dynamics of a given system. In particular, the dynamics of measurement noise are not well understood. For this ... -
Modeling and Simulation of Polarization Mode Dispersion and Polarization Dependent Loss
(University of Waterloo, 2007-01-23)Novel theoretical formulations and efficient simulation methods for polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) and polarization-dependent loss (PDL) that are directly applicable to optical network design are developed. In particular, ... -
Modeling Classical Dynamics and Quantum Effects in Superconducting Circuit Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2015-08-20)In recent years, superconducting circuits have come to the forefront of certain areas of physics. They have shown to be particularly useful in research related to quantum computing and information, as well as fundamental ... -
Modeling In Vitro Lipid Deposition on Silicone Hydrogel and Conventional Hydrogel Contact Lens Materials
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-12)Purpose: To examine the variables that influence lipid deposition on conventional and silicone hydrogel contact lens materials and to build a physiologically relevant in vitro model of lipid deposition on contact lenses. ... -
Modeling of Body Weight Metrics for Effective and Cost-Efficient Conventional Factor VIII Dosing in Hemophilia A Prophylaxis
(MDPI, 2017-12-01)The total body weight-based dosing strategy currently used in the prophylactic treatment of hemophilia A may not be appropriate for all populations. The assumptions that guide weight-based dosing are not valid in overweight ... -
Modeling of carbon dioxide dissolution in an injection well for geologic sequestration in aquifers
(Elsevier, 2021-04-15)Carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration is considered to be one of the most effective technologies of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. In this technology, single phase supercritical CO2 is injected into an underground ... -
Modeling Phosphorus Cycling in a Seasonally Stratified Reservoir (Fanshawe Reservoir, Ontario, Canada)
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-22)Human activities, such as mining, sewage discharge, fertilizer usage and dam construction for electricity and flood controll, have significantly disturbed the biogeochemical cycling of nutrients, such as carbon, phosphorus, ... -
Modeling the emission, transport, and fate of key micropollutants and their treatment using novel titanium dioxide nanomaterials
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-31)Endocrine disruptive effects in fish have been observed in many watersheds worldwide. The presence of intersex (ova-testes) in particular is well-documented in the Grand River watershed in southern Ontario, and is associated ... -
Modeling the growth dynamics of <em>Cladophora</em> in eastern Lake Erie
(University of Waterloo, 2005)<em>Cladophora glomerata</em> is a filamentous green alga that currently forms extensive blooms in nearshore areas of Lake Ontario, eastern Lake Erie, Lake Michigan, and isolated locations in Lake Huron. The biomass, ... -
Modeling the Interactions of Antimicrobial Peptides with Cell Membranes
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-09)Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are key molecules of the innate immune system, found among a wide variety of living organisms, including animals, plants, and humans. It is typically composed of cationic and has a unique ... -
Modeling the X-ray absorption of Neodymium ions in cuprate superconductors
(University of Waterloo, 2022-07-18)Electronic nematicity, a breaking of the rotational symmetry of the electronic structure beyond what is expected from the ionic displacements of atoms, has been identified in the (La, M)₂CuO₄ family of the cuprate ... -
Modeling Water Emission from Intermediate Mass Star Formation Regions
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-22)In this research water emission is modeled from intermediate mass star formations regions placed at 1 kpc. Nine models are created to describe these regions of varying source luminosity ($L=100,500,$ and $1000L_{\odot}$) ... -
Modelling Biogeochemical Cycles Across Scales: From Whole-Lake Phosphorus Dynamics to Microbial Reaction Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-21)Lakes are ecologically, economically, and culturally significant resources that are, at the same time, very fragile and sensitive to human disturbances. During the last decades, intensified urbanization and discharge of ... -
Modelling effects of stormwater best management practices on urban stormwater runoff phosphorus
