An Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopic Diagnostic Device for Characterization of Liquid-Liquid Systems and Phase Separation Detection in Emulsions
DownloadFall 2013
Rapid characterization of complex fluids, especially sensing emulsion stability, is crucial for many industrial applications, ranging from pharmaceutical industry to petroleum production. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is a powerful tool for electrical characterization of such...

An Item Analysis of the Instability of Parent Report Scores on the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory
DownloadFall 2012
Purpose: To evaluate item instability of the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory – Functional Skills Scale completed by parents. Methods: Scoring instability was analyzed between baseline and after 6 months of intervention (T1-T2) on 113 children and between end of intervention and 3...

Atomistic Simulations for Investigating Structural Stability and Selecting Initial Adsorption Orientation of Lysozyme and Apo-α-Lactalbumin at Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Surfaces
DownloadFall 2012
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to investigate the structural stability of lysozyme and apo-α-lactalbumin under physiological pH and solution. Upon introduction to the solution, apo-α-lactalbumin showed lower stability than lysozyme with higher backbone root mean square...

Characterization of magnetic nanoparticles as contrast agents and their application for quantitative magnetic susceptibility monitoring of the waterflooding of heavy oil in real time
DownloadSpring 2018
Waterflooding is one enhanced oil recovery process used in heavy oil reservoirs such as at Cold Lake in North-Eastern Alberta. However, little has been published in terms of imaging heavy oil waterfloods, mainly due to the similar densities of water and heavy oil, which makes it difficult to...

Development of Poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(ε-caprolactone) based Micelles for Tumor Targeted Drug and siRNA Delivery
DownloadFall 2015
The use of nanotechnology has made significant advancements in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Polymeric micelles are a relatively new generation of nanocarriers mostly intended for the delivery of hydrophobic drugs. In this thesis, our objective was to develop an optimized polymeric micellar...

Fall 2009
The complexity of large industrial engineering systems such as chemical plants has continued to increase over the years. As a result, flexible control systems are required to handle variation in the operating conditions. In the classical approach, first the plant model should be linearized at the...

Initial Excited-State Structural Dynamics and Damage Kinetics of Nucleic Acid Derivatives and a Rhodopsin Analogue
DownloadFall 2013
Photochemical reactions resulting from the absorption of ultraviolet light are one of the main causes of DNA damage. For any excited-state photochemical reaction, it is the structural changes in the excited state after the absorption of the photon that ultimately decide the photochemical fate...

Fall 2019
Lateral–torsional buckling is a stability-related failure mode of unbraced or insufficiently braced flexural members. In recent years, several concerns have been raised regarding the adequacy of the Canadian steel design standard, CSA S16-14, in characterising the lateral–torsional buckling...
