Assessing Algal Community Structure and Nutrient Uptake Kinetics Across a Nutrient Gradient in Agricultural Streams
DownloadFall 2020
Streams provide important ecosystem services, such as the transformation of organic matter and water purification, while transporting water from headwaters to larger receiving waterbodies downstream. Excess nutrients introduced through anthropogenic land use put stress on aquatic ecosystems and...

Association between Gut Colonization of Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci and Liver Transplant Outcomes
DownloadSpring 2020
Chiang Jurado, Diana Alejandra
Background: Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) colonization is common in liver transplant candidates. In addition to the risk of invasive enterococcal infections, dominance of VRE colonization in the gut may contribute to low microbiota diversity playing a role in the transplant outcomes. The...

Characterization of the diversification of phospholipid:diacylglycerol acyltransferases in the green lineage
Download2020-06-15
Falarz, Lucas J., Xu, Yang, Caldo, Kristian Mark P., Garroway, Colin J., Singer, Stacy D., Chen, Guanqun
Triacylglycerols have important physiological roles in photosynthetic organisms, and are widely used as food, feed and industrial materials in our daily life. Phospholipid:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (PDAT) is the pivotal enzyme catalyzing the acyl‐CoA‐independent biosynthesis of...

Fall 2019
Canada is committed to reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to mitigate the effects of global warming. A major source of GHG emissions is coal-based power generation. Replacing (fossil) coal with biomass-based feedstocks for the generation of electricity could help reduce these emissions....

Digging Up the Roots of Educational Policy: Curriculum Infusion and Aboriginal Student Identity Development
DownloadFall 2018
Since 2002, Alberta teachers have been required to infuse Aboriginal perspectives into the K-12 curriculum across all subject areas in order to positively impact Aboriginal children’s identity development. There are several assumptions inherent in the policy of infusion that this study uncovers...

Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Ascophyllum nodosum for the Co-Production of Biofuels and Value-Added Products
DownloadSpring 2019
Vargas Sepulveda, Hector Mauricio
There has been an increasing interest in the use of biorefining feedstocks for the production of value-added products. Seaweeds are of special interest, due to the fact that they do not compete for land use with food crops, have low to no lignin content, and can be grown in waste water or at sea,...

The Canadian Indigenous group, the Beothuk, is known for their extinction sometime during the 19th century. Despite the Beothuk’s extinction becoming popular amongst researchers during the 20th century, the Beothuk narrative is still plagued with misconceptions. In my research paper entitled...

Fall 2018
Surface colonization is ubiquitous in marine environments, and bacteria are one of the first, or primary colonizers, to attach to newly formed surfaces. Marine algae are host to a plethora of such bacterial colonizers, one of the most abundant being roseobacters. Most of known pathogenic or...
