Growth, survivability, and reproductive effects of pulse-dosed endosulfan on jordanella floridae (florida flagfish) over one complete life-cycle
(2009-08-01)
Endosulfan is a commonly used organochlorine in Durham Region, Ontario Canada
which has known toxic effects on non-target organisms including fish. This research
investigated the effects of endosulfan on Florida flagfish ...
Characterization of carbon nanotubes grown by chemical vapour deposition
(2009-08-01)
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), discovered by Ijima in 1991, are one of the allotropes of carbon, and can be described as cylinders of graphene sheet capped by hemifullerenes.
CNTs have excellent electrical, mechanical, thermal ...
Molecular characterization of GABA receptor subunits from the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus
(2009-08-01)
Haemonchus contortus is a parasitic nematode that is controlled by several nematocides
which target ion channels. We have identified two H. contortus ion channel genes, Hcounc-
49B and C that encode two GABA-gated chloride ...
Immunomodulatory effects of dietary fibre supplementation: effects on cytokine and antibody production and lymphocyte population profiles
(2009-08-01)
Gastrointestinal microflora has been shown to have a bi-directional relationship with the host immune system. A variety of fermentable carbohydrate polymers largely pass through the small intestine, providing fermentable ...
Design and development of a novel omni-directional platform
(2009-08-01)
This thesis presents the design and development of a unique omni-directional platform
known as the Omnibot which was built in the Mechatronic and Robotic Systems
Laboratory at UOIT. The Omnibot's layout is novel because ...
Evaporative heat and mass transfer with solubility driven solidification of aqueous droplet flows
(2009-03-01)
Nuclear-based hydrogen production via thermochemical water decomposition using a copper-chlorine cycle consists of a series of chemical reactions that split water into hydrogen and oxygen. This is accomplished through ...
Research on remote control of reconfigurable modular robotic system
(2009-08-01)
Serial manipulators, which have large work space with respect to their own volume
and occupied floor space, are the most common industrial robots by far. However, in
many environments the situation is unstructured and less ...
Novel tele-operation of mobile-manipulator systems
(2009-08-01)
A novel algorithm for the simplified tele-operation of mobile-manipulator systems is
presented. The algorithm allows for unified, intuitive, and coordinated control of
mobile manipulators, systems comprised of a robotic ...
Performance assessment of transient behaviour of small wind turbines
(2009-08-01)
Small wind turbine installations have a variety of potential uses, each with unique
performance demands and operating conditions. Many applications require that the
turbine is placed in wind conditions that are not ideal ...
Advancing the technology development for better quality wood plastic composites: process ability study
(2009-03-01)
Wood Plastic Composites (WPC) have advantages over natural wood such as improved
stiffness, recyclability, and waste minimization. However, issues such as the difficulty of
processing WPC with conventional methods, volatile ...
