Spring 2022
Phage display libraries bearing natural amino acids are commonly used for discovering potential therapeutic macrocycles; however, direct application of those linear peptides often leads to poor pharmacokinetics, including low serum stability, lower cell membrane permeability, and rapid renal...

Investigation of the Adsorption of Model and Oil Sands Process-Affected Water Naphthenic Acids on Graphite
DownloadSpring 2015
Naphthenic acids (NAs) are constituents of bitumen in the oil sands deposits in northern Alberta, Canada. The extraction process of bitumen creates an enormous amount of wastewater called oil sands process affected waters (OSPW). This OSPW contains elevated concentrations of NAs, and other...

Investigation of the Synthesis, Reactivity and Biological Properties of Various 6-Substituted D-Fructose Derivatives
DownloadFall 2017
The detection of small tumors growing in complex organs, including breast tissue, is a challenge in modern medical imaging. The use of positron emission tomography (PET) and tracer molecules containing radionuclei such as 18F have been of significant value to detect small tumors. The commonly...

Fall 2022
A major challenge that plagues nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopists is the inherently low sensitivity of this workhorse characterization technique. This low sensitivity results in long acquisition times and/or costly isotopic-labelling to obtain good resolution and signal-to-noise...

Spring 2013
Coagulation/Flocculation/Sedimentation (CFS), petroleum coke (PC) adsorption, and zero valent iron (ZVI) oxidation-enhanced by PC were applied for the remediation of oil sands process-affected water (OPSW), generated from oil sands operations in northern Alberta, Canada. OSPW is a complex mixture...

Probing Surface Heterogeneity, Electrochemical Properties and Bubble-Solid Interaction Mechanisms of Sulfide Minerals in Flotation
DownloadSpring 2017
The colloidal stability governed by various surface interactions including van der Waals (VDW) interaction, electrical double layer (EDL) interaction, hydrophobic interaction, and some other interactions, plays an important role in a wide range of natural phenomena and engineering applications....

Regional and local controls of surface water chemistry in the Boreal Plain and Shield transition of Canada
DownloadFall 2010
The Western Boreal Forest exhibits complex hydrogeology juxtaposed with rapid resource development. Predicting surface water chemistry to assess the influence of landuse and climate change is needed. The research purpose was to test if a global model (Gibbs), used to assess water chemistry...

Studying Protein–Glycolipid Interactions and Membrane Peptides and Proteins using Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry and Model Membranes
DownloadFall 2018
Membrane systems, including glycolipids (GLs) and membrane peptides and proteins (MPs), play an important role in many cellular processes, such as singling, cellular recognition, transportation, and energy conversion. However, the amphipathic nature of GLs and MPs makes their analysis...

Surface Interaction Mechanisms between Deformable Bubbles and Hydrophobic Surfaces in Aqueous Solutions
DownloadSpring 2018
Deformable bubbles in complex fluidic systems are crucial components in a variety of traditional and emerging industrial processes, where their surface interactions with hydrophobic surfaces play an important role in realizing the targeted functionalities. In this project, a bubble probe atomic...
