Spring 2013
Research was undertaken into the organic semiconductors tris(8- hydroxyquinoline)aluminum (Alq3) as well as bis(8-hydroxyquinoline)zinc (Znq2) to the effect of improving achievable morphological control using an inexpensive evaporation based solution synthesis method. By varying experimental...

Fall 2010
The development of a biorefining process acknowledges the feedstock characterization as it can often dictate the process technology. The maturity stages of agricultural feedstocks also have the potential for altering the process conditions. Thus, the variability of growth stages at 4-6 leaf,...

High Performance Germanium-based Anode Materials for Lithium-ion and Sodium-ion Rechargeable Batteries
DownloadFall 2014
In this thesis the electrochemical performance of germanium nanowires (GeNWs) as anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and tin-germanium-antimony (Sn-Ge-Sb) thin films as anode for sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) have been investigated. Scientific literature shows a substantial study-to-study...

Highly Ordered Methanofullerene Nanotube Array: Fabrication and Implications for Room Temperature Organic Spintronics
DownloadFall 2013
Organic semiconductors have come to the forefront of research in physics, chemistry and electronics due to their impressive properties and low cost of device production. Presented here is a novel centrifuge assisted organic nanowire growth technique and its application in the fabrication of...

Spring 2018
Grade 91 steel is one of the most important 9-12% Cr creep strength enhanced ferritic (CSEF) steels used in fossil-fuel fired power plants. A narrow heat-affected zone with heterogeneous structures is generated in the base metal, due to non-equilibrium phase transformations during the arc welding...

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 2017
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...

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...
