Fall 2017
Water contamination by ammonium ions presents huge risks to the ecosystems. This work evaluated the potential application of digested sludge pyrolyzed biochar on ammonium removal. Anaerobic digester sludge was collected from a municipal wastewater treatment plant in Alberta, Canada and pyrolyzed...

Current uptake of 15N –labeled ammonium and nitrate in flooded and non-flooded black spruce and tamarack seedlings.

Macdonald, S. Ellen, Islam, M. Anisul
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....

Perkins, S., Zuidhof, Martin J., Feddes, John J. R., Robinson, Frank E.
Four environmental chambers housing either 75 (5.5 birds/m\") or 37 turkeys (2.8 birds/m ) were used to study the impact of stocking density on air quality, bird health, and performance under similar per bird ventilation rates (3 L/s per bird). Stocking density had little effect on air quality or...

First-principles calculations of equilibrium nitrogen isotope fractionations among aqueous ammonium, silicate minerals and salts
Download2021-03-15
Li, Yonghui, Li, Long, Wu, Zhongqing
Nitrogen isotopes are a robust tool to study geological nitrogen cycle between Earth’s reservoirs. However, the application of nitrogen isotope system to understanding geological processes has been limited by the lack of constraints on equilibrium isotope fractionation factors between mineral and...

Nitrogen isotope fractionations among gaseous and aqueous NH4+, NH3, N2, and metal-ammine complexes: Theoretical calculations and applications
Download2021-02-15
Li, Long, He, Yuyang, Zhang, Zhe, Liu, Yun
Ammonium (NH4+), ammonia (NH3) and N2 are key nitrogen species in geological nitrogen recycling. NH3 has also been proposed to play an important role in mobilizing base metals in the form of metal-ammine complexes in hydrothermal fluids. The nitrogen isotope fractionation factors among these...

Spring 2014
Fugitive emissions of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) from a lagoon containing biosolids were continuously measured using an eddy covariance system for three months. Open Path Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry (OP-FTIR) was also used to quantify concentrations of methane and ammonia...

Fall 2013
Glomus cells of the carotid body are peripheral chemoreceptors that detect changes in arterial oxygen levels. Hypoxia suppresses oxygen-sensitive K+ channels in glomus cells, resulting in cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) elevation in glomus cells via the activation of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. The...

Respiration, Acid/Base, Ammonia and Ionoregulatory Strategies in the Pacific hagfish (Eptatretus stoutii)
DownloadFall 2016
Hagfish feed on putrefied carrion, which poses several environmental challenges to the scavenger including hypoxia (Low PO2), hypercapnia (high PCO2) and high environmental ammonia (HEA). To any other organism, these conditions would be physiologically challenging; however, hagfish seem to have...
