A new family of routes to substituted phenols has been developed. 2-Bromo-3- methoxycyclohex-2-en-1-ones are readily deprotonated at C-6 and the resulting anions react smoothly with a variety of electrophiles; treatment with DBU in PhMe at room temperature then results in efficient aromatization...

To estimate rates of Al accumulation within the symplasm, all apoplastic pools of Al need to be eliminated or accounted for. We have developed a revised kinetic protocol that allows us to estimate the contribution of mucilage-bound Al to total, nonexchangeable Al, and to eliminate the mucilage as...

We have isolated and characterized regions important for expression of the mouse NaGraphic/HGraphic exchanger gene. A 1.1-kilobase fragment upstream of the 5′-untranslated region contains specific DNA motifs characteristic of promoter and enhancer elements including a TATA box, two CAAT boxes, an...

Alberta Environment is in the process of reviewing the scientific and technical basis for refinement of a regulatory approach to the environmental impact of present and future industrial development in the Athabasca oil sands region. The review has encompassed the results of 10 years (1975 to...

Parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) are used as models of transport-reaction phenomena in a variety of different industrial chemical and materials engineering processes, and can yield precise descriptions of process variables with complex temporal and spatially dependent system...

This dissertation describes a series of experiments that examined: 1) hydraulic responses of Populus trichocarpa x deltoides, Populus trichocarpa and Picea glauca plants to change in their surrounding environment; 2) Changes of aquaporin expression in response to such changes. In the first study,...

We investigated the effects of flooding for three weeks on physiological responses and uptake of NH4+ and NO3- by black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP.) and tamarack (Larix laricina (Du Roi) K. Koch) seedlings fertilized with labeled (15NH4)2SO4 or K15NO3 in a growth chamber experiment....

Enterprises must manage their information risk as part of their larger operational risk management program. Traditionally, IT security investment decisions are made in isolation. However, as firms that compete for customers in an industry are closely interlinked, a macro perspective is needed in...

This thesis analyzes surrogacy regulation and practice in Canada and India and examines how both altruistic and commercial surrogacy have the potential to harm and exploit surrogates. I argue that money might not be the sole reason (or even the main reason) for the potential for harm and...

Development from a juvenile to an adult animal is driven by pulses of steroid hormones released at precise developmental times. Inputs from the environment, timing cues, and nutritional factors are all coordinated to produce a steroid hormone pulse. Insects and in particular, the fruit fly...
