Exploring Atomic Force Microscopy To Probe Charge Transport Through Molecular Films And For The Development Of Combinatorial Force Microscopy
DownloadFall 2012
Since the invention of the atomic force microscope (AFM), this technology has had profound implications in the study of material science and molecular biology. The ability to visualize and perform quantitative analysis of the nanoscale properties of surfaces has provided great insights into...

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...

New Approaches to Thermodynamics-based Predictive Modelling of Gas Chromatography and Comprehensive Two-dimensional Gas Chromatography
DownloadSpring 2019
Thermodynamics-based predictive models of retention in gas chromatography and comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography have been demonstrated to provide high prediction accuracy across a wide range of separation conditions. They generally predict better than retention index-based models...

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....
