Regenerable DNA-Functionalized Hydrogels for Ultrasensitive, Instrument-Free Mercury(II) Detection and Removal in Water
(American Chemical Society, 2010-09-15)Mercury is a highly toxic environmental pollutant with bioaccumulative properties. Therefore, new materials are required to not only detect but also effectively remove mercury from environmental sources such as water. We ... -
The Regional Extent of Suppression: Strabismics Versus Nonstrabismics
(Association of Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, 2013-10)Purpose.: Evidence is accumulating that suppression may be the cause of amblyopia rather than a secondary consequence of mismatched retinal images. For example, treatment interventions that target suppression may lead to ... -
Regulation of a cold inducible antifreeze protein in soil bacterium Pseudomonas putida GR12-2
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-30)In cold inhabiting bacteria, a commonly used strategy to combat freezing stress is the production of antifreeze proteins. These proteins assist in survival below 0 degrees Celsius by minimizing extracellular ice crystal ... -
Regulation of Heat Shock Protein 70 Levels in Red Blood Cells of Rainbow Trout
(University of Waterloo, 2010-10-28)The physiological responses to stressor exposure can be broadly grouped into the organismal and the cellular stress responses. The organismal stress response involves the release of hormones into general circulation, while ... -
Regulation of Integrin Function by XGIPC
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-25)Integrins are a large family of transmembrane cell adhesion receptors that are found on the surface of eukaryotic cells. Integrins act predominantly as cell surface receptors for extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, but ... -
Regulation of MH Class II Associated Invariant Chain in Oncorhynchus mykiss
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-22)Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II associated invariant chain is a chaperone of the mammalian MHC class II antigen presentation pathway. It is responsible for targeting the MHC class II dimer to the endocytic ... -
Regulation of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) mRNA at the innate/adaptive immunity interface in response to Vibrogen 2
(University of Waterloo, 2017-07-31)Aquaculture supplies the world market with over 50% of food fish and is an economically important industry, however limited disease management strategies often lead to significant economic losses and/or poor-quality product. ... -
The Relationship Between Active Galactic Nuclei and Metal-enriched Outflows in Galaxy Clusters
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-25)Clusters of galaxies are host to powerful Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) that greatly affect the thermal history of clusters. By keeping X-ray emitting gas from cooling, massive, run away star formation does not occur in the ... -
Relationship between Corneal Sensation, Blinking, and Tear Film Quality
(Wolters Kluwer, 2016-05-01)Purpose: To examine the possible role of corneal sensitivity and tear film quality in triggering a blink by investigating the relationship between blink rate, central corneal sensitivity threshold (CST), ocular surface ... -
The relationship between retail type and transportation emissions
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-03)This study investigates the relationship between three types of retail, Big Box, traditional and online retail, and their transportation related emissions. The study takes a comprehensive approach by examining both the ... -
The Relationship between Retinal Vascular Reactivity and Arteriolar Diameter
(University of Waterloo, 2006-12-18)ABSTRACT Purpose: The primary aim of the study (i.e. Chapter 3) was to compare the magnitude of retinal vascular reactivity in arterioles of varying diameter in healthy, young subjects. The secondary aims were to determine: ... -
The Relationship between Tear Meniscus Regularity and Conjunctival Folds
(Wolters Kluwer, 2014-09-01)Purpose: To investigate the capability of a new portable digital meniscometer (PDM) to measure tear meniscus radius (TMR) and tear meniscus height (TMH) at different locations along the lower lid and to evaluate relationships ... -
Relationship between vessel diameter and depth measurements within the limbus using ultra-high resolution optical coherence tomography
(Elsevier, 2018-01-01)Purpose To establish a relationship between the diameter and depth position of vessels in the superior and inferior corneo-scleral limbus using ultra-high resolution optical coherence tomography (UHR-OCT). Methods Volumetric ... -
Relationships between depth and δ15N of Arctic benthos vary among regions and trophic functional groups
(Elsevier, 2018-05-01)Stable isotope ratios of nitrogen (δ15N) of benthic primary consumers are often significantly related to water depth. This relationship is commonly attributed to preferential uptake of 14N from sinking particulate organic ... -
Release of Ciprofloxacin and Moxifloxacin From Daily Disposable Contact Lenses From an In Vitro Eye Model
(Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, 2015-10-04)Purpose.: To analyze the release of two fluoroquinolones, ciprofloxacin and moxifloxacin, from conventional hydrogel (CH) and silicone hydrogel (SH) daily disposable contact lenses (CLs), comparing release from a fixed-volume ... -
