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 ...
Synthesis and characterization of nanostructured catalysts for photovoltaic applications
(2013-07-01)
The objective of this project was to investigate the effect of the morphology of titanium
dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles on the electron transport properties and light harvesting potential in
a dye sensitized solar cell ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Cloning and characterization of AdeMNO RND efflux pump of Acinetobacter baumannii
(2010-11-01)
Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen which has been implicated in a variety of nosocomial infections among immunocompromised patients worldwide. Recently, Multi-drug resistant (MDR) isolates of A. baumannii ...
Ray tracing large distributed datasets using ray caches
(2012-03-09)
Many large scale simulations now produce datasets that are signi cantly
larger than can typically be stored in memory on a visualization system. Visualization
algorithms then become ine ective and stall since the data must ...
Moving towards enhancing playtesting reports through data visualization
(2019-08-01)
Playtesting is a key component in the game development process aimed at improving the quality of games through gameplay data collection and identification of design issues. Visualization techniques are currently being ...
Nanostructured carbon-based materials for electrochemical applications
(2019-12-01)
Mesoporous carbons have been widely studied due to the relevance of these materials for applications in energy storage and conversion devices (batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells), mainly due to their high surface ...
