The heavy oils produced from the Alberta oil sands contain cyclic organic compounds together with sulphur and nitrogen. Upon thermal treatment they have the potential to form carcinogenic, mutagenic, and toxic compounds. Recovery of oil by in-situ combustion processes, such as the Combination of...

Induction of microsomal membrane proteins in roots of an aluminum-resistant cultivar of Triticum aestivum L. under conditions of aluminum stress
Download1994
Basu, U., Basu, A., Taylor, G. J.
Three-day-old seedlings of an Al-sensitive (Neepawa) and an Al-resistant (PT741) cultivar of Triticum aestivum were subjected to Al concentrations ranging from a to 100 mu M for 72 h. At 25 mu M Al, growth of roots was inhibited by 57% in the Al-sensitive cultivar, whereas root growth in the...

Investigating cryoinjury using simulations and experiments: 1. TF-1 cells during two-step freezing (rapid cooling interrupted with a hold time)
Download2014-09-22
McGann, L. E., Ross-Rodriguez, L. U., Elliott, J. A.
There is significant interest in designing a cryopreservation protocol for hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) which does not rely on dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO) as a cryoprotectant. Computer simulations that describe cellular osmotic responses during cooling and warming can be used to optimize the...

MetaboMiner – semi-automated identification of metabolites from 2D NMR spectra of complex biofluids
Download2008
Tang, P., Wishart, D.S., Xia, J., Bjorndahl, T.C.
Background One-dimensional (1D) 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is widely used in metabolomic studies involving biofluids and tissue extracts. There are several software packages that support compound identification and quantification via 1D 1H NMR by spectral fitting...

Modeling the transport of cryoprotective agents in articular cartilage for cryopreservation
DownloadSpring 2011
Loading vitrifiable concentrations of cryoprotective agents is an important step for cryopreservation of biological tissues by vitrification for research and transplantation purposes. This may be done by immersing the tissue in a cryoprotective agent (CPA) solution, and increasing the...

Modulation of the uptake and toxicity of PFOA by Polystyrene and Titanium dioxide nanoparticles in Pacific oysters (Magallana gigas) and Daphnia (Daphnia magna)
DownloadFall 2023
Nanomaterial toxicity is a major concern in today’s world. The benefits of nanoparticle use have led to the production of various kinds of nanomaterials including a high volume of nanoplastics, TiO2 nanoparticles, and CeO nanoparticles. Different nanomaterials are shown to be a suitable vector...

Non digestible carbohydrates in the diet determine toxicity of irinotecan (CPT-11)/5-fluorouracil in rats independently of β-glucuronidase activity in intestinal lumen
DownloadFall 2012
Aim of this study was to assess effects of non-digestible carbohydrates on the pathobiology of mucosal injury after chemotherapy. Rats bearing colon tumor (n=6/diet) were fed diets including 8% (w/w) as either cellulose, inulin, fructo-oligosaccharide (OligoF), 50:50 (w/w) inulin and oligoF...

Osteoarthritis is characterized by pain and inflammation in joints, typically weight-bearing joints such as the knee. An early warning sign of osteoarthritis is the loss of proteoglycan molecules in the cartilage matrix. A surrogate method for measuring proteoglycan loss is detection of sodium...

Fall 2015
Osteoarthritis, a disease resulting in the breakdown of cartilage and bone within joints, is a global burden that is growing in scope. There is no cure for osteoarthritis, and the current treatments are all lacking in some form or another. One treatment which attempts to prevent degeneration of...
