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 endosulfan on human MCF-7 breast cancer cells
(2011-08-01)
Organochlorine pesticides (OCs) are environmental toxicants with important links to human health. They have been found to activate signalling pathways within cells and thereby affect cell survival and proliferation. Receptor ...
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 ...
Investigation into smoothed particle hydrodynamics for non-newtonian droplet modelling
(2011-08-01)
Droplet splatter dynamics is an important study in the field of forensics since a crime
event can produce many blood stains. Understanding the origins of the blood stains
from pure observations is very difficult because ...
A parallel adaptive method for pseudo-arclength continuation
(2011-08-01)
We parallelize the pseudo-arclength continuation method for solving nonlinear systems
of equations. Pseudo-arclength continuation is a predictor-corrector method where the
correction step consists of solving a linear system ...
Stability of heroin metabolites and oxycodone in rat hair and liver during decomposition
(2010-01-01)
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of soft tissue decomposition on the stability of drugs incorporated in hair antemortem. Two burial trials were conducted: in the first trial, rats were administered ...
Synthesis and in vitro assessment of chemically modified siRNAs targeting BCL2 that contain 2'-ribose and triazole-linked backbone modifications
(2015-08-01)
Short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are biomolecules used for post-transcriptional gene regulation, and therefore hold promise as a future therapeutic by silencing gene expression of overexpressed deleterious genes. Chemically ...
Detection of side-channel communication in a mobile ad-hoc network environment using the Hamming distance metric
(2015-06-01)
Side-Channel communication is a form of traffic in which malicious parties communicate secretly over a wireless network. This is often established through the modification of Ethernet frame header fields, such as the Frame ...
