Spring 2013
Presented herein is a solid-state 71Ga and 69Ga NMR study of several six-coordinate gallium-oxygen compounds: Ga(acac)3, Ga(thd)3, Ga(trop)3, and (NH4)3[Ga(cit)2]·4H2O. Spectra of stationary and magic angle spinning (MAS) samples are reported, and their electric field gradient (EFG) and chemical...

Anaerobic biodegradation of hydrocarbons in different oil sands tailings ponds: key microbial players and main activation pathway of hydrocarbon biodegradation
DownloadFall 2016
Anaerobic biodegradation of hydrocarbons is an important process in oil sands tailings ponds, which directly affects consolidation of tailings and extent of greenhouse gas emissions from tailings ponds. Since tailings ponds from different operators differ due to extraction process, age of...

Applications of Lime and Enzymes for Oil Sands Tailings Management: Dewatering and Mitigation of Methane Emissions
DownloadSpring 2023
The remediation of oil sands tailings is a crucial environmental aspect of the Canadian oil sands industry. Oil sands tailings management involves the endless storage of massive volumes of fluid fine tailings (FFT). The slow gravity settling of tailings, the release of toxic compounds, and the...

Biodegradation of Hydrocarbons in Bitumen: Exploring Plant-Assisted and Microbial Stimulation Techniques
DownloadFall 2020
While bitumen is one of the oldest construction materials in the world and currently provides an important fuel needed to sustain our modern lifestyle, the disturbances caused by extracting and refining this material are considerable, with 895 km2 of land being disturbed in Alberta as of 2018...

Can caffeine alter blood potassium concentration or the perception of pain and fatigue after a 1 km cycling sprint?
DownloadSpring 2013
Caffeine is used by some athletes to improve endurance performance, however, the mechanism(s) by which caffeine elicits performance improvements have been unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of caffeine on pain perception, fatigue perception, plasma catecholamine...

Canadian Writers, McClelland & Stewart, and the Paperback Book: Remediation, Publishing, and Cultural Context
DownloadSpring 2014
This dissertation analyzes the relationship between literature and new media through an investigation of the book in a Canadian context and draws on book history and new media studies. To better understand the relationship between print and digital forms of publishing, I look backwards to a...

Coupled effects on the transport and deposition of biocolloidal particles in saturated porous media
DownloadSpring 2016
The transport and deposition of biocolloidal particles in porous media is a crucial phenomenon in understanding environmental challenges from pathogen contamination to bioremediation of soil and water. The fate and transport of biocolloidal particles in porous media is influenced by many factors...

Enhancing Anaerobic Digestion Efficiency of High Strength Wastes with Different Solid Contents
DownloadSpring 2023
Anaerobic digestion has been considered as a sustainable technology to treat a wide range of organic wastes and to recovery value-added products such as methane and fatty acids. However, several factors such as low temperature and high solids content of substrates would lead to the imbalance of...
