Microstructural Characterization of 3D Deposited Metal Structures
The microstructure of deposited materials is characterized using a variety of techniques. The two specific types of deposited materials studied are electrodeposited nickel and additive manufactured stainless steel. A focus ... -
Characterization and Age of North-Verging Back Structures in the Tethyan Sedimentary Sequence, Hidden Valley, Central Nepal Himalaya
(2006)Throughout the central Nepal Himalaya, the Tethyan sedimentary sequence (TSS) is structurally dominated by a train of north-verging folds, in apparent contradiction to the dominantly south-propagating Himalayan orogen. The ... -
O antigen biosynthesis in Gram-negative bacteria: Characterization of alpha1,4-glucosyltransferase WclY from Escherichia coli O117 and development of glycosyltransferase inhibitors.
Gram-negative bacteria have a polysaccharide coat (O antigen) consisting of repeating units of oligosaccharides that is assembled by glycosyltransferases. Many of these bacteria are associated with disease, and the ... -
The Racial Mosaic: Race, Cultural Pluralism, and Canadian Multiculturalism
This dissertation examines the intellectual origins of the Canadian federal government’s official policy of multiculturalism. The first half employs the methodology of historical biography and examines the life and thought ... -
“Not just somebody’s mother”: University Campus Daycare Co-operatives in Ontario and British Columbia, 1960s to 1970s
(2019)Daycare is now a common sight on university campuses, but this was not always the case. This project examines the creation of daycare co-operatives on university campuses in the late 1960s and early 1970s, using the case ... -
Active Learning in Lecture-Based Classes: "Discipleship Survivor" as a Case Study
(2019)The project included researching the pedagogy behind Prof. Ascough's "Discipleship Survivor" activity in RELS 214, and its effects on student learning. Each week, students were asked to nominate and vote disciples of Jesus ... -
Effect of Terminal Electron Acceptors on Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Oil Sands Tailings
Surface mining of Alberta's oil sands produces large volumes of water and solid wastes stored in oil sands tailings ponds. Tailings ponds contain numerous contaminants that have negative effects on the environment (air, ... -
Modelling Methane Emissions from Arctic Lakes
Climate change in the Arctic is moving at a greater rate than the rest of the world, and the urgency of characterizing greenhouse gas emissions from water bodies located in high latitudes has become a subject of intensive ... -
Engagement of Children, Families, and Care Providers in the Selection or Development of Patient Reported Outcomes
BACKGROUND: The growing prevalence of chronic conditions in childhood calls for a child and family engaged approach to research. Engaging with children and families across the selection of outcomes and development of ... -
Towards a sustainable Arctic fishery: Population genomics of lake whitefish in a hybrid species complex
Genetic variation is an important predictor of population persistence under changing or stressful environmental conditions. Consequently, efforts to preserve genetic variation by identifying genetically distinct populations ... -
Provenance, mineralogy, geochemistry, geochronology and Pb isotope systematics of meta-siliciclastic rocks in the Mesoproterozoic Upper Vazante Sequence, Brazil: Implications for metal sources and base metal metallogeny
The objective of this research is to investigate the origin and evolution of meta-siliciclastic rocks within the Mesoproterozoic Upper Vazante Sequence (1300 to 1100 Ma) in order to improve understanding of metal sources ... -
Rhodium-Catalyzed Allylic Alkylation of Enolates and Homoenolates: Enantioselective Construction of α- and β-Stereogenic Carbonyl Compounds
The asymmetric alkylation of enolates is a particularly versatile method for the construction of -stereogenic carbonyl motifs, which are ubiquitous in synthetic chemistry. Over the past several decades, the focus has ... -
Cyber Electoral Interference in the Five Eyes Countries
(2019)The poster outlines the cyber threats identified within scholarly literature: notably cyber tampering, cyber influencing operations, information operations, and finally international implications. The second part identifies ... -
Pre-compensation of nonlinear distortion of a silicon microring modulator in short reach systems
Silicon photonics has attracted significant attention due to its compatibility with CMOS technology and the potential for both discrete and integrated devices. As a critical component in silicon-based communication systems, ... -
Unidirectional Large-Amplitude Oscillatory Shear Flow of Human Blood
(2019-09)Blood is non-Newtonian suspension of red and white cells, platelets, fibrinogen and cholesterols in Newtonian plasma. To assess its non-Newtonian behaviors, this work considers a newly proposed blood test, unidirectional ... -
The Importance of Live‐Well Transport in the Physiological Disturbance Experienced by Smallmouth Bass in Tournaments on Large Water Bodies
(Wiley, 2019)Competitive fishing has become an important element of recreational fisheries for black bass Micropterus spp. in North America. The vast majority of competitive events involve a “live‐release” format, where fish are held ... -
A Fluorescence‐Based Assay for Screening β‐Lactams Targeting the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Transpeptidase LdtMt2
(Wiley, 2019)Mycobacterium tuberculosis l,d‐transpeptidases (Ldts), which are involved in cell‐wall biosynthesis, have emerged as promising targets for the treatment of tuberculosis. However, an efficient method for testing inhibition ... -
19F NMR Monitoring of Reversible Protein Post‐Translational Modifications: Class D β‐Lactamase Carbamylation and Inhibition
(Wiley, 2019)Bacterial production of β‐lactamases with carbapenemase activity is a global health threat. The active sites of class D carbapenemases such as OXA‐48, which is of major clinical importance, uniquely contain a carbamylated ... -
Reduction in Mortality Risk With Opioid Agonist Therapy: a Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
(Wiley, 2019)Introduction Opioid agonist therapies are effective medications that can greatly improve the quality of life of individuals with opioid use disorder. However, there is significant uncertainty about the risks of cause‐specific ...
