Bacteriophages as antimicrobial agents against bacterial contaminants in yeast fermentation processes
DownloadFall 2013
Bacterial contaminants are ubiquitous in yeast fermentation processes for biofuel production. In general, they compete with yeasts for nutrients, reducing overall production yield. The present project investigates the application of bacteriophages (phages), viruses infecting and killing...

Background: The trigeminal ganglion (TG) is a cluster of neuron bodies in the cranium that supplies the face and skull with sensory innervation. In the mouse, neurons of the TG supply the whisker pad that is important for spatial navigation and intraspecific communication. Specialized cells in...

Characterization of Human Pancreatic Beta-cell Progenitors as a Means to Alleviate the Shortage of Donor Tissue for Islet Transplantation
DownloadFall 2012
The current shortage of islet tissue from cadaveric human donors is not sustainable and will preclude islet transplantation from becoming a widespread therapeutic treatment for those with type 1 diabetes. A potential alternative source of tissue may be through isolating, expanding, and...

Characterization of Particulate Matter Morphology and Volatility for Two Direct-Injection Engines
DownloadFall 2015
Particulate matter emitted from two direct injection engines has been characterized by morphology, volatility, mass-mobility exponent, effective density, and size distribution using tandem measurements from a centrifugal particle mass analyzer (CPMA) and differential mobility analyzers (DMA). The...

Characterizing the role of the endocannabinoid system’s catabolic enzymes FAAH and MAGL in the development of functional sensorimotor activities in zebrafish
DownloadFall 2022
The endocannabinoid system (eCS) plays a critical role in a variety of homeostatic and developmental processes. Generally, the eCS relies on the naturally produced compounds known as endocannabinoids (eCBs), which are lipophilic signaling molecules that interact with cannabinoid receptors to...

Conserving cougars in a rural landscape: habitat requirements and local tolerance in west-central Alberta
DownloadSpring 2011
Maintaining large carnivores in human-dominated landscapes poses a significant conservation challenge. Extirpation is common because of habitat loss or direct persecution. I studied cougar habitat selection and human perception of cougars in west-central Alberta to better understand...

Creating and Capitalizing on Opportunities to Reduce Poverty: The Process and Power of Integrated Knowledge Translation
DownloadSpring 2016
This thesis describes the experiences of partners involved in integrated knowledge translation (iKT)—a poorly understood process wherein partners from diverse professional spheres (e.g. community, government, and academia) work together to ensure research generated is relevant for the context of...
