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 ...
Chronic effects of single intra-peritoneal injection of endosulfan on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and field observations of caged rainbow in Oshawa Creek
(2009-08-01)
The organochlorine pesticide endosulfan has been shown to be highly toxic to fish
and there is some evidence to support that it may act as an endocrine disrupting chemical.
Juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were ...
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 ...
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 ...
Mass transport in the cathode electrode of a molten carbonate fuel cell
(2009-04-01)
A molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) is an electro-chemical energy conversion technology that runs on natural gas and employs a molten salt electrolyte. In order to keep the electrolyte in this state, the cell must be kept ...
Diffusion in inhomogenous media
(2009-10-30)
This project considers the diffusion of water molecules through a cellular medium
in which the cells are modeled by square compartments placed symmetrically in a
square domain. We assume the diffusion process is governed ...
