Cellulose biosynthesis inhibitors modulate defense transcripts and regulate genes that are implicated in cell wall re-structuring in arabidopsis
(2011-06-01)
The cell wall is a multifunctional structure which is implicated in plant growth and development as well as responding to any environmental changes including biotic and abiotic stresses. One of the practical approaches in ...
Use of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to predict water and energy content of juvenile Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
(2011-08-01)
Accurate measurements of energy content and body composition are essential to effectively assess the well-being of fish. Bomb calorimetry and proximate analysis are currently the most dependable and accurate methods to ...
Graphene and graphane functionalization using hydrogen and nitrogen electronic optical and vibrational signatures
(2011-04-01)
Hydrogen is added to Graphene in various compositions and configurations to modify the band structure to produce a suitable band gap for microelectronic applications. Optical and vibrational spectra are calculated as a ...
The role of urban wetland diversity and function in contaminant fate
(2011-08-01)
It is recognized that microbial transformations are the primary mechanism of organic contaminant removal in natural and constructed wetland systems. However, not much is known about urban wetland microbial communities or ...
The anti-estrogenic and liver metabolic effects of DHAA in rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss)
(2011-08-01)
Recent studies have shown that dehydroabietic acid (DHAA), a resin acid
present in pulp and paper mills, may have anti-estrogenic effects in fish. A
chronic-exposure toxicity experiment using immature rainbow trout
(Oncorhynchus ...
Effects of chronic exposure to ibuprofen and naproxen on Florida flagfish (Jordanella floridae) over one complete life-cycle
(2011-08-01)
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a class of drugs prescribed to relieve pain, fever and inflammation, and are among the most commonly consumed medications in Ontario. Approximately 70% of the ingested dose ...
Identification and annotation of concurrency design patterns in Java source code using static analysis.
(2011-12-01)
Concurrent software is quickly becoming a very important facet in Software Engineering due
to numerous advantages, one of which is increased processing speed. Despite it's importance,
concurrent software is fraught with ...
Effects of ibuprofen on Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) following acute and chronic waterborne exposures
(2011-08-01)
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products are a growing concern in the aquatic environment. Compounds from the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are commonly detected in surface waters and have the potential ...
Fundamental investigation of fuel cell-based breath alcohol sensors and the cause of sensor degradation in low-humidity conditions
(2011-08-01)
The goal of this research project was to characterize the physical and electrochemical properties of a commercially available fuel cell-based breath alcohol sensor. Characteristics of the existing sensor were compared with ...
Single copy gene expression system as a tool for the purification of membrane proteins from Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(2011-08-01)
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative opportunistic human pathogen known to cause a variety of infections that are difficult to treat due to extremely high resistance to almost all antibiotics currently in clinical ...
