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...

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...

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...
