Zaretzky, Jessica, Bide, Martin
Most textile items are expected to maintain their properties over time, and thus, exhibit durability. Durability extends to mechanical integrity, color, and additional properties conferred by textile finishes. The durability of color is routinely measured in colorfastness tests, many of which are...

Air-and water-stable halide perovskite nanocrystals protected with nearly-monolayer carbon nitride for CO2 photoreduction and water splitting
Download2022-09-25
Halide perovskites are exciting candidates for broad-spectrum photocatalysts but have the problem of ambient stability. Protective shells of oxides and polymers around halide perovskite nano- and micro-crystals provide a measure of chemical and photochemical resilience but the photocatalytic...

An Assessment of the Impacts of Climate Change on Freight Delivery Schedule Strategies on the Mackenzie River
DownloadFall 2016
The Mackenzie River is a major freight transportation route serving many remote northern Canadian communities and mining sites. The river is only navigable during the summer and early fall months, when it is clear of ice. However, the water conditions of this river have changed significantly in...
