Spring 2018
The aim of this study is to develop a technique capable of performing three-dimensional particle tracking by using images from a plenoptic (or light field) camera. Use of a plenoptic camera enables the collection of three-dimensional positional data within a volume, which would normally require...

Productivity and carbon accumulation potential of transferred biofilms in reclaimed oil sands-affected wetlands
DownloadSpring 2011
Biofilms are significant contributors to primary production, nutrient cycling, bio-stabilization and the food web of wetland ecosystems. Photoautotrophic biomass (PB) and primary production (PP) were determined for biofilms exposed to various treatments and materials in wetlands near Fort...

Protein Separation with Self-Assembled Nanoparticle Beds: Mechanism and Separation Performance
DownloadSpring 2016
This thesis reports the separation behavior of SDS-protein complexes in colloidal self-assembled (CSA) nanoparticle beds, and the processes of stabilization of CSA beds for high voltage separation. First, the variation of electrophoretic mobility with molecular weight (6.5-66 kDa) of SDS-protein...

The Biomicrofluidics of Microbiologically Induced Calcite Precipitation Mediated by Sporosarcina pasteurii
DownloadSpring 2018
I studied a particular bacterium Sporosarcina pasteurii (S. Pasteurii) which has a unique ability to cause chemical precipitation in an aqueous medium in the presence of certain molecules like urea. These precipitated chemicals can go deep inside a network of micro-scale pores and cause clogging....
