In this dissertation, I present a corpus-based, constructionist account of Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) GO verbs (ḏahaba, maḍā, and rāḥa) and COME verbs (atā, ḥaḍara, ǧā’a, and qadima). These seven deictic motion verbs count among the most frequent lexical items in MSA, nevertheless, they are...

Time domain reflectometry has been used for fluid level measurement and characterization since the 1960's, however, there is little research present in the literature to improve the measurements by using alternate probe designs. Numerical analysis of a dielectric loaded circular waveguide probe...

Analyzing Scaling Characteristics of Transport Properties Using Particle-Tracking Based Techniques
DownloadFall 2017
Appropriate scale-up provides a critical link between fine-scale heterogeneity descriptions and coarse-scale models used for transport modeling, which is essential for planning and management of subsurface reservoirs. A significant challenge in subsurface flow and transport modeling is to develop...

A study was conducted to evaluate the properties and processes influencing the rate and magnitude of volume decrease and strength gain for oil sand fine tailings resulting from a change in bitumen extraction process (caustic versus non-caustic) and the effect of adding a coagulant to caustic fine...

Phosphatidylcholine (PC), the most abundant phospholipid in eukaryotic cells, is an important component of cellular membranes and lipoprotein particles. The enzyme CTP: phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CT) regulates de novo PC synthesis in response to changes in membrane lipid composition in...

Establishing the anti-cancer effects of unsaturated fatty acids and a novel oil on human breast cancer cells
DownloadFall 2012
N-3 and n-6 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic (CLA) acid have been known to inhibit breast cancer cell growth, however, effects on normal cells and of single and mixtures of n-3 and n-6 pathway intermediates have not been thoroughly investigated. The objective of this thesis was to determine...

Mandatory folate fortification polices in North America have resulted in high levels of circulating folate in the population. At the same time, a trend toward increased energy intake and reduced energy expenditure has lead to an increased prevalence of obesity, characterized by an accumulation of...

Fluorogenic and fluorescent bioorthogonal labelling strategies for examining glycoproteins and phospholipids
DownloadFall 2012
Traditional genetically-encoded imaging strategies are problematic for use in analysing cell surface interactions due to the heterogeneous nature of the cell surface, and the high level of post-translational modifications. Small molecule fluorophores can provide dynamic information on cell...

Egg yolk contains approximately 10% (w/w) phospholipids (PL), of which about 70% is phosphatidylcholine (PC). Conventional methods of PL extraction from egg yolk involve using hazardous organic solvents. Supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2), as a "green" solvent, had been applied for the...
