The Q motif is involved in DNA binding that affects ATP hydrolysis and unwinding in ChlR1 helicase
(2016-02-19)Helicases are molecular motors that couple the energy of nucleoside triphosphate (NTP) hydrolysis to the unwinding and remodeling of structured DNA or RNA. The conversion of energy derived from NTP hydrolysis into unwinding ... -
A Q-enhanced 3.6 GHz tunable CMOS bandpass filter for wideband wireless applications
(2004-03-26)With the rapid development of information technology, more and more bandwidth is required to transmit multimedia data. Since local communication networks are moving to wireless domain, it brings up great challenges for ... -
QCD Correlation Functions of Light Quarkonium and Strangeonium Hybrids
(2015-10-23)The correlation function is the critical ingredient for Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) sum-rule methods that are used to predict hadronic properties. Thus, in order to perform a sum-rule analysis of hybrids, we need to compute ... -
QCD sum rule studies of heavy quarkonium-like states
(2013-12-19)In 2003 the Belle collaboration announced the discovery of the X(3872) particle. This was confirmed shortly thereafter by the CDF, D0 and BaBar collaborations, and later by the LHCb collaboration. Based on the decay modes ... -
QCD sum-rule study of scalar mesons
(1999-01-01)In this thesis, QCD Laplace sum-rules for the light quark 'qq ' currents are employed to study the properties of the non-strange ' I' = 0 and 'I' = 1 light quark scalar mesons. This QCD sum-rule analysis allows us to ... -
Quadratic forms, orderings and quaternion algebras over rings with many units
(1988)The "algebraic" theory of quadratic forms over fields of characteristic ≠2 dates back to the 1937 paper of Witt [37]. It was in this paper that the Witt ring of a field was first considered. Thirty years later, Pfister ... -
Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the cannabinoid content of combusted cannabis plant tissue
(2007-07-12)Marihuana continues to be a controversial topic in today’s society. The plant material is used recreationally as a stupefacient and has a purported medicinal use. In fact, anecdotal information about its medicinal ... -
A qualitative Assessment of Practice Experiences of Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE) pharmacists in Saskatchewan
(2015-10-21)ABSTRACT Background: Pharmacists are a rapidly growing segment of certified diabetes educators (CDEs) in Canada; however, little is known about their practice experiences. Objective: This study aimed to describe the practice ... -
Qualitative Exploration of the Education and Skills Needs of Community Pharmacists in Saskatoon Concerning Addiction
(2015-09-22)Community Pharmacists are the most accessible health care providers in Canada. Utilizing these cadres in effectively addressing substance abuse and addiction problems would help minimize the health and socioeconomic negative ... -
Quality control program for a geochemical laboratory, Department of Geological Sciences, University of Saskatchewan, Canada
(2015-01-05)The quality of analytical data produced by geochemical laboratories has become progressively more important as complex decisions concerning the impact of development on the environment Public concern regarding the impact ... -
Quality healthcare from the nurses' perspective
(2013-08-20)A growing interest in evaluating quality of healthcare services has led to several initiatives geared towards quality improvement and increased efficiency by focusing on patient needs and collected evidence. Efforts designed ... -
Quality of life among people with acquired brain injury living in the community
(1997)Utilizing qualitative research methods, this study explored and then described perceptions of quality of life among six adults with Acquired Brain Injury (ABI), living in or near Regina, Saskatchewan. Theoretical ... -
Quantification of spray drift from aerial applications of pesticide
(2007-04-02)With widespread use of pesticides in modern agriculture, the impacts of spray drift have become a topic of considerable interest. The drifting of sprays is a highly complex process influenced by many factors. Advances in ... -
Quantifying and modeling the bioavailability of sediment-associated uranium to the freshwater midge (Chironomus dilutus)
(2016-05-24)Uranium (U) enters aquatic environments from natural and anthropogenic sources, often accumulating in sediments to concentrations that could, if bioavailable, adversely affect benthic organisms. Current assessments of ... -
Quantifying Energy Consumption and Carbon Dioxide Equivalent Generation in Typical Roadway Construction Projects
(2013-09-04)All roadway agencies monitor and maintain their infrastructure as it deteriorates over time. Agencies allocate the money that they have for maintenance, rehabilitation and reconstruction operations across their entire ... -
QUANTIFYING GRASSLAND NON-PHOTOSYNTHETIC VEGETATION BIOMASS USING REMOTE SENSING DATA
(2017-09-21)Non-photosynthetic vegetation (NPV) refers to vegetation that cannot perform a photosynthetic function. NPV, including standing dead vegetation and surface plant litter, plays a vital role in maintaining ecosystem function ... -
Quantifying Losses in Power Systems Using Different Types of FACTS Controllers
(2015-10-20)This thesis discusses the placement of conventional power flow controllers (namely the Fixed series capacitor (FSC), Phase Angle Regulating Transformer (PAR)) and Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices (namely the ... -
Quantifying mercury reduction kinetics in soils
(2013-01-24)Mercury emissions from soils significantly contributes to the global Hg cycle; however there is little research on the fundamental biotic and abiotic factors (soil temperature and moisture) controlling Hg reduction kinetics ... -
