Spring 2014
This thesis focuses on fabrication of aluminum matrix composites using friction stir processing. Al 5059 alloy was selected as the matrix alloy, and the effect of processing parameters on microstructure and mechanical properties of this alloy was studied in detail. Friction stir processing was...

Schaeffer, Jonathan, Charter, K., Lu, Paul, Szafron, Duane, Parsons, I., Driga, A.
Technical report TR01-10. For two DNA or protein sequences of length m and n, dynamic programming alignment algorithms like Needleman-Wunsch and Smith-Waterman take O(m x n) time and use O(m x n) space, so we refer to them as full matrix (FM) algorithms. This space requirement means that large...

Genetic Analysis of Lignification and Secondary Wall Development in Bast Fibers of Industrial Hemp (Cannabis sativa)
DownloadSpring 2010
Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa) is a highly productive crop that is well suited to cultivation in Canada. To better understand the development of bast (phloem) fiber secondary walls and to facilitate reverse genetics screening for improved germplasm, I undertook two sets of microarray...

Wen, Xiao-Yan, Hegele, Robert A., Wang, Jian, Wang, Ding Yan, Cheung, Joseph, Wilson, Michael, Yahyapour, Maryam, Bai, Yahong, Zhuang, Lihua, Skaug, Jennifer, Young, T. Kue, Connelly, Philip W., Koop, Ben F., Tsui, Lap-Chee, Stewart, A. Keith
"Triglyceride (TG) metabolism is crucial for whole body and local energy homeostasis and accumulating evidence suggests an independent association between plasma TG concentration and increased atherosclerosis risk. We previously generated a mouse insertional mutation lpd (lipid defect) whose...

Inference of epigenetic subnetworks and expression-based analysis using a breast cancer dataset
DownloadFall 2018
Changes in gene expression have been thought to play a crucial role in various types of cancer. With the advance of high-throughput experimental techniques, many genome-wide studies are underway to analyze underlying mechanisms that may drive the changes in gene expression. It has been observed...

Investigation of Causal Mutations in Livestock and Companion Animals Using Whole-Genome Sequencing (WGS) and Bioinformatics
DownloadSpring 2024
In this thesis project, three studies were conducted, aimed at identifying the causal variants responsible for phenotypic/genotypic sex discordance in cattle, copper toxicosis in Dalmatian dogs, and low fertility/infertility in cattle. In all three studies, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and...

Mechanisms of Aluminum Tolerance in Triticum aestivum L. (Wheat). I. Differential pH Induced by Winter Cultivars in Nutrient Solutions.
Download1985
Twenty winter cultivars of Triticum aestivom L. (wheat) were grown in solution culture with and without aluminum (A1) (74 gM, 2.0 mg L-') for 14 days. Exposure to s increased root growth of the most tolerant cultivar, while both root and shoot growth were depressed in all other cultivars. On the...

Mechanisms of Aluminum Tolerance in Triticum aestivum L. (Wheat). II. Differential pH Induced by Spring Cultivars in Nutrient Solutions.
Download1985
Twenty spring cultivars of Traticum aestivum L. (wheat) were grown in solution culture with and without aluminum (A1) (74 gM, 2.0 mg L-l) for 14 days. Root growth and shoot growth were depressed in all cultivars grown with A1; however, symptoms of A1 toxicity were most evident on roots. Based on...

Fall 2011
We examined the production of high-surface area anodized porous aluminum (Al) oxide within a micro-scale channel. A potential surface modification using an initial layer of oxidized tantalum (Ta) was also studied. Channels were etched into a layer of silicon dioxide on silicon wafers (groups of...
