Multireference Equation of Motion Coupled Cluster Study of Atomic Excitation Apectra
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-21)Variants of the family of the recently developed Multireference Equation of Motion Coupled Cluster (MR-EOM-CC) approaches are applied to the atomic excitation spectra of the first-row transition metals, for which experimental ... -
Multiscale Modelling of Structural Transformation in Metal Nanocatalysts for CO2 Electroreduction
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-12)The precise control of nanostructure and surface atomic arrangement can be used to tune the electrocatalytic properties of materials and improve their performance. Unfortunately, the long-term structural stability of ... -
Multiscale models of kidney function and diseases
(Elsevier, 2019-09)The kidney is a complex system whose function is the result of synergistic operations among a number of biological processes. The spatial and functional scales of those processes span a wide range. To interrogate kidney ... -
Multisensory attention training for treatment of tinnitus
(Springer Nature, 2015-05-28)Tinnitus is the conscious perception of sound with no physical sound source. Some models of tinnitus pathophysiology suggest that networks associated with attention, memory, distress and multisensory experience are involved ... -
Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube Biohybrid Based Wearable Sensor
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-04)Continuous real-time surveillance of biological markers can have significant implications on disease prognosis. To date, most commercially available continuous monitoring health systems are physical sensors due to the ease ... -
Mutual inhibition through hybrid oligomer formation of daptomycin and the semisynthetic lipopeptide antibiotic CB-182,462
(Elsevier, 2013-02)Daptomycin is a clinically important lipopeptide antibiotic that kills Gram-positive bacteria through membrane depolarization. Its activity requires calcium and the presence of phosphatidylglycerol in the target membrane. ... -
“My pharmacist”: Creating and maintaining relationship between physicians and pharmacists in primary care settings
(Elsevier, 2020-01)Background Pharmacists and physicians are being increasingly encouraged to adopt a collaborative approach to patient care, and delivery of health services. Strong collaboration between pharmacists and physicians is known ... -
Nano-confined water within the membrane of self-assembled vesicles
(University of Waterloo, 2021-10-01)The hydrophobic metal carbonyl complexes, known as FpR (Fp = (Cp)Fe(PPh3)(CO)(CO−), Cp = cyclopentadiene, R = C3Bithiophene, C6Pyrene, C6Azobenzene or C6), self-assembles into stable colloids in water. The colloids are ... -
Nanochemistry on Si(100): Surface Biofunctionalization by Amino-containing Bifunctional Molecules, and Shape Control of Copper Core-Shell Nanoparticles
