Evaluation of a Novel Glycoprotein on Commercial Contact Lenses
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-22)PURPOSE The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate the interaction of a novel glycoprotein, known as proteoglycan 4 (PRG4), with various commercial contact lenses. METHODS PRG4 was investigated for its effects on ... -
Evaluation of an Oxygen Injection Technology for In-Situ Hydrocarbon Bioremediation in a Fractured Bedrock Environment
(University of Waterloo, 2009-04-30)Oxygen has been shown to be an effective addition of enhancing the bioremediation of petroleum hydrocarbon contamination in porous media; however, the ability to effectively deliver oxygen to petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated ... -
Evaluation of baseflow estimation methods with real and synthetic streamflow data from a watershed
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-25)Baseflow with origins from groundwater is a critical component of streamflow sustaining it throughout the year especially during dry periods. To better understand the role of baseflow in streamflow, accurate estimates are ... -
The evaluation of bulbar redness grading scales
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-12)The use of grading scales is common in clinical practice and research settings. A number of grading scales are available to the practitioner, however, despite their frequent use, they are only poorly understood and may be ... -
Evaluation of feasibility and potential impact of a clinical innovative software tool to support pharmacists to prescribe for minor ailments
(University of Waterloo, 2023-09-05)Background: The role of community pharmacists has shifted from dispensing prescribed medications to providing patient-focused clinical services such as Pharmacists Prescribing for Minor Ailments (PPMA). These services are ... -
Evaluation of Geochemical and Reactivity Changes of Different Iron Materials
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Previous studies have suggested that iron PRBs, receiving high concentrations of inorganic constituents in groundwater, may experience passivation because of the accumulation of inorganic precipitates. In an iron PRB ... -
