Fall 2014
The oil sands landscape in northern Alberta is interspersed with large tailings ponds that hold wastewater from bitumen mining and extraction processes. Recent monitoring results indicate that annually many thousands of birds, mostly migrating waterfowl, land on the ponds associated with this...

Spring 2020
Spent hen, a poultry industry by-product with little market value and high lipid content, can be used as a new and sustainable biomass source for lipid production. This study focused on environmentally benign extraction methods, i.e., the microwave-assisted and supercritical CO2 extraction of...

Lipidomics of Biological Samples for the Assessment of Physiological and Pathological Processes
DownloadFall 2020
Lipids are a large class of hydrophobic molecules involved in energy storage, signaling, modulation of gene expression and membranes. Lipidomics focuses on the comprehensive analysis of lipids and their interactions. Although the potential of lipidomics to study physiological and pathological...

Manipulation of Seed Carbon Flow from Cellulose to Lipid and Protein Biosynthesis in Arabidopsis to Accelerate the Characterization of Protein-Related Genes in Canola
DownloadFall 2023
Canola (Brassica napus L.) is the major oilseed crop in Canada. After oil extraction, the protein-rich seed meal (around 40% protein) serves as a nutritious feedstock for animals and the protein fraction has potential for human consumption. However, excess fiber in the seed meal (about 33%) can...

Modeling and Optimization of Wastewater Treatment and Lipid Production using a Mixed-Culture of Algae and Bacteria in a High Rate Algal Pond
DownloadSpring 2019
Biofuels are being considered as an alternative source of energy produced from fossil fuels. Among various biological resources, microalgae have captured lots of attention in recent years due to their potential use as renewable energy source for biofuel production since they offer high growth...
