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...

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...

Evaluation of Residual Starch Determination Methods for Dried Distillers' Grains with Solubles (DDGS)
DownloadSpring 2012
A co-product of ethanol production is known as dried distillers’ grains with solubles (DDGS). DDGS contains residual starch that escaped hydrolysis under ideal conditions during ethanol production; therefore, residual starch in DDGS is expected to include enzyme-resistant starch. Common starch...

Prospects for Plantations of Improved Poplars in Alberta: Price Behaviour and Competition for Land
DownloadFall 2014
Poplar forestry plantations have the potential for genomic improvements in growth rates and yields. In order to examine the potential for establishing future plantations of improved poplars in Alberta, this thesis seeks to provide an understanding of the price behaviour of poplar outputs, as well...
