Fall 2010
In the present work, we focused our attention on triacylglycerols. Their phase behavior strongly influences production processes of products based on fats and oils. However, the mechanisms controlling such behavior are not well understood. Hence, we decided to utilize computer simulation to gain...

Studying Structure-Nanoaggregation Relations of Polyaromatic Molecules in the Bulk Oil Phase and at the Oil-Water Interface Using Molecular Dynamics Simulation
DownloadSpring 2014
The detection, identification and characterization of early stage molecular association of polyaromatic molecules into nanoaggregates, where these nanoaggregates represent the first level of molecular clusters or building blocks are critical in areas such as design and fabrication of advanced 3-D...

Suicidal behaviour: understanding the process of online help-seeking in adolescents and young adults
DownloadFall 2011
Young people are accessing the Internet for help with their suicidal state; yet, little is known about how the online help-seeking process occurs in suicidal adolescents and young adults. The present study explored this topic by interviewing Canadian’s who experienced the suicidal state as...

The Effects of Intensive Expiratory Muscle Strength Training (EMST) on Respiratory and Speech Function in Adults with Cerebral Palsy: A Case Study
Download2014-06-27
Stewart, Ande, Haggerty, Anne, Miltenburg, Amanda, Boduch, Megan
Expiratory Muscle Strength Training (EMST), or exhaling against high resistance at the airway opening, is a procedure that requires high chest wall muscular effort. High expiratory effort practiced over time is thought to strengthen the neural control of these chest wall muscles as measured by...

Purpose. The present study focused on modulating features of speech motor control using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). Recent studies have shown that tDCS modulates cortical activity within the brain, leading to changes in both cognitive and motor performance. More specific to...

With climate change rapidly affecting northern forests and wetlands, mercury reserves once protected in cold, wet soils are being exposed to burning, likely triggering large releases of mercury to the atmosphere. We quantify organic soil mercury stocks and burn areas across western, boreal Canada...
