Spring 2012
Climate change is expected to drive major changes in agricultural production around the world, but estimates of the economic impact of these changes for Canadian agricultural production have been inconsistent. Most models use aggregate temperature data such as average temperature or growing...

Spring 2016
The study of methanogenesis in wastewater biofilms and various aggregated methanogenic environmental samples with high spatial resolution can be achieved by using microbiosensor techniques. In this study, the fabrication of a microbiosensor for methane detection was studied. This microbiosensor...

Magnowski, Nicholas Brooks Kenneth
The natural gas industry recognises that the need for removal of CH4 from C2H6 feedstock C2H4 production and utilization. CH4 being a contaminant in the production of C2H4 and furthermore in the production of polymers from C2H4. Dethanizers in gas processing plants are energy intensive and...

SOFCs which can directly operate under high concentration of H2S would be economically beneficial as this reduces the cost of gas purification. H2S is highly reactive gas specie which can poison most of the conventional catalysts. As a result, developing anode materials which can tolerate high...

Application of Multi-Omics Tools to Study the Genetic Background of Economically Relevant Traits in Commercial Beef Production
DownloadSpring 2022
The sustainability and profitability of beef cattle production are largely associated with feed efficiency, carcass merit, and resistance to infectious diseases. These traits are difficult or expensive to measure on individual animals, which makes them suitable for genomic application. Currently...

Application of manure from cattle fed with different diets affects soil properties and greenhouse gas emissions
DownloadSpring 2019
Cattle production contributes the largest portion of livestock agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Canada mostly in the form of methane (CH4). Efforts to reduce CH4 emissions have led to modification of diet composition for livestock, resulting in a corresponding change in manure...

Association analyses of SNPs in candidate genes with body fat deposition and carcass merit traits in beef cattle
DownloadFall 2009
A candidate gene approach was used to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and their associations with body fat deposition and carcass merit traits in beef cattle. In total, 37 SNPs from 9 candidate genes have been genotyped on 463 hybrid, 206 Angus and 187 Charolais steers for...

Fall 2011
Feed efficiency affects profitability and sustainability in beef production systems. Since ruminal microbes play essential roles in feed digestion and conversion, the overall objective of this project was to investigate the association between ruminal bacteria and feed efficiency of beef cattle....

Boxed-in: Comparing Algorithms for Box-flight Mass-Balance Greenhouse Gas Flux Measurements from Mineable and In Situ Oil Sands Developments
DownloadSpring 2022
To combat global warming, Canada has committed to reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs) 40-45% below 2005 emission levels by 2025. Monitoring emissions and deriving accurate inventories are essential to reaching these goals. GHGs can be measured at a small scale, often using ground measurements which...
