Performance assessment of Au SERS substrates prepared by deposition of Au nanoparticles on screen-printed SiO2 particle films
(2023-02-01)
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a highly studied technique for simple and rapid trace analysis. Screen-printing, a low-cost fabrication method, has been proposed as a reproducible and affordable approach for ...
Metabolic, neurotoxic and immunotoxic effects of PFAAs and their mixtures on the proteome of plasma and head kidney from rainbow trout
(2023-03-01)
PFAAs (Perfluoroalkyl acids) are a class of bioaccumulative, persistent and ubiquitous aquatic contaminants. A paucity of toxicological information exists for short chain PFAAs and PFAA mixtures. In order to address these ...
Investigating proteomic profiles of rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss) kidney and liver tissues exposed to low concentrations of waterborne nickel
(2023-08-01)
Nickel has become a component of natural freshwater that may pose serious ecological risks to aquatic wildlife. Due to Canada’s significant presence in producing and exporting nickel, the country has the opportunity to ...
Gloss positioning for a gaze aware L2 reading aid
(2023-08-01)
An important aspect of language learning is reading texts written in the learner’s second language (L2). However, reading can be a daunting task for language learners, as text may contain a large amount of unknown vocabulary. ...
Preliminary design of a social asymmetric virtual reality upper-limb exergame for individuals with dementia utilizing insights from caregivers
(2023-10-01)
This thesis investigates the usability, task load, cooperative performance, and social presence effects of an asymmetric VR game for upper limb activity in the context of elderly care from the perspective of caregivers. ...
