Fall 2014
Metamaterials are artificially engineered materials with tailored properties for applications in imaging, sensing, waveguiding and quantum optics. Even though they hold the potential for transformative impact, industrial applications have been impeded by large absorption losses in material...

Preparation and Characterization of Immunomodulatory Peptides from Spent Hen Muscle Proteins
DownloadSpring 2016
Each year the egg industry produces about 18 million spent hens in Canada. Since a viable market is not available, spent hens are a liability to the egg producers who have to pay the cost associated with disposal. The overall objective of this thesis was to prepare and characterize bioactive...

Re-Sampling the Ensemble Kalman Filter for Improved History Matching and Characterizations of Non-Gaussian and Non-Linear Reservoir Models
DownloadSpring 2015
Reservoir simulation models play an important role in the production forecasting and field development planning. To enhance their predictive capabilities and capture the uncertainties in model parameters, stochastic reservoir models should be calibrated to both geologic and flow observations. The...

Spring 2015
This thesis is focused on the silicon-based anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) as well as germanium-based electrode materials for sodium-ion batteries (NIBs). In our first attempt we studied electrochemical cycling stability and degradation mechanisms of silicon nanowires (SiNWs)...

Starch nanoparticles (SNP) were isolated by acid hydrolysis from starches varying in amylose content and crystalline type, and physicochemically characterized in terms of their morphology, particle size, crystallinity, molecular size distribution, chain length distribution, amylase resistance and...

Synthesis and Characterization of TiO2 Nanowire and Nanotube Arrays for Increased Optoelectronic Functionality
DownloadFall 2014
The n-type semiconducting, vertically oriented TiO2 nanotube and nanowire arrays constitute a mechanically robust, high surface area, easily functionalized architecture with vectorial electron percolation pathways and have been the focus of interest for variety of applications including but not...

Mitsuhashi, T., Andersson, L. , Carrion, D., Haley, C., Archibald, A., Evans, G., Plastow, G., Day, A.
We describe the characterisation of the two main coat colour determining loci (MC1R and KIT) for pigs and demonstrate how this information can be utilized for breed identification. These approaches can be useful components of quality assurance and traceability schemes which are increasingly...

TiO2 Nanotube Arrays with Engineered Geometries: Growth, Characterization and Study of Selected Interfaces
DownloadSpring 2016
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a wide band gap, robust, n-type semiconductor whose transformation into vertically-oriented nanotube arrays makes them suitable electron percolation pathways for vectorial charge transfer togerther with high surface area. Growth of self-organized TiO2 nanotube arrays as...

Use of Type I DNA markers for initial genetic characterization of two Portuguese swine breeds.
Download2003
Zhang, Y., Ramos, A.M., Cardoso, A., Gouveia, S., Rothschild, M.F., Mestre, R., Plastow, G. , Rangel-Figueiredo, T., Evans, G.
In order to be effective, strategies for conservation and improvement of local pig breeds must ideally include both the phenotypic and genetic characterization of those breeds. In this study, phenotypic information was collected for individuals from the Portuguese pig breeds, Alentejano and...

Technical report TR94-02. A graph is said to be well covered if every maximal independent set has the same size, and very well covered if every maximal independent set contains exactly half the vertices in the graph. Well-covered graphs are of interest because while the problem of finding the...
