A Comprehensive Screen of Metal Oxide Nanoparticles for DNA Adsorption, Fluorescence Quenching, and Anion Discrimination
(American Chemical Society, 2015-10-22)Although DNA has been quite successful in metal cation detection, anion detectioin remains challenging because of the charge repulsion. Metal oxides represent a very important class of materials, and different oxides might ... -
Impacts of Dredging and Brush Cutting of Paired Agricultural Drainage Ditches on GHG Emissions and Nutrient Filtration Capacity
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-04)Agriculture provides many beneficial and essential ecosystem services. Along with these beneficial services, the conversion of natural ecosystems into heavily modified agricultural ecosystems is also a source of ... -
Investigation of divalent metal ion detection using 17E DNAzyme Biosensor
(University of Waterloo, 2021-04-30)DNAzymes are in vitro selected oligonucleotides that can catalyze reactions, such as RNA cleavage. Most DNAzymes require metal ions as cofactors. Unlike ribozymes, which have been found in nature, all known DNAzymes are ... -
Nutrient sources for excessive growth of benthic algae in Lake Ontario as inferred by the distribution of SRP
(University of Waterloo, 2010-11-30)Total phosphorus concentrations in the open waters of the Laurentian Great Lakes are currently at or beneath target concentrations set by international agreement. Despite the success of phosphorus loading controls in ... -
Onion Root Anatomy and the Uptake of Sulphate and Phosphate Ions
(University of Waterloo, 2007-06-12)Ions in the soil solution traverse many layers (epidermis, exodermis, central cortex, and endodermis) within the root to reach the stele. The endodermis is present in almost all vascular plants while the exodermis is found ...
