Kinetics studies of chemical reactions and quality changes in conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) enriched milk treated with high-pressure sterilization
DownloadSpring 2014
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a bioactive lipid naturally found in milk, is thermally degraded through oxidation during thermal processing. Finding alternatives to enhance the retention of CLA is challenging. In this thesis, high-pressure sterilization (HPS) was used to enhance CLA retention in...

Leg Dominance may not be a Predictor of Asymmetry in Peak Joint Moments and Ground Reaction Forces during Sit to Stand Movements
Download2014
Adeeb, Samer, El-Rich, Marwan, Lewicke, Justin, Carey, Jason P., Schofield, Jonathon, Parent, Eric
Sit-to-stand transfer is a common prerequisite for many daily tasks. Literature often assumes symmetric behavior across the left and right side. Although this assumption of bilateral symmetry is prominent, few studies have validated this supposition. This pilot study uniquely quantifies peak...

Modeling and Optimization of CO2 Fixation using Microalgae Cultivated in Oil Sands Process Water
DownloadSpring 2015
Biological fixation of CO2 using microalgae is a potential CO2 reduction strategy which can be applied to the oil sands operations in Alberta. These operations also produce large amounts of oil sands process water (OSPW), which can act as a growth medium for the microalgae. In this thesis, three...

Nitrous Oxide Emission Reduction in an Annual Cropping System as a function of Nitrification Inhibitors and Liquid Manure Injection Timings
DownloadFall 2016
Nitrous oxide (N2O) contributes to global warming and ozone depletion. Two-thirds of the global N2O emissions are derived from agricultural soils receiving manure or fertilizer applications. The goal of this study was to identify and develop management practices that can decrease N2O emissions...

Probing microscopic conformational dynamics in folding reactions by measuring transition paths
Download2019-12-01
Hoffer, Noel Q, Woodside, Michael T
Transition paths comprise those parts of a folding trajectory where the molecule passes through the high-energy transition states separating folded and unfolded conformations. The transition states determine the folding kinetics and mechanism but are difficult to observe because of their brief...

Fall 2013
Protein folding involves a stochastic search through the configurational energy landscape towards the native structure. Although most proteins have evolved to fold efficiently into a unique native structure, misfolding (the formation of non-native structures) occurs frequently in vivo causing a...

Fall 2014
The assembly of nanoparticle building blocks into more complex nanostructures has important applications in analytical chemistry, materials science, medical science, optics, and electronics. Due to its exquisite specificity and programmable nature, DNA has emerged as a very promising biomolecule...

Spring 2011
Thin film pyrolysis was used to thermally crack the pendant groups from asphaltene molecules. The cracked products were rapidly quenched to minimize further decomposition. The liquid products were condensed and collected, with over 91% material balance on the recovery of gas, liquid and coke...

Recent work suggests that closed-loop electrical stimulation may restore dynamic trunk stability following neuromuscular impairment. However, developing such neuroprostheses requires quantitative predictions of the activation profiles of relevant muscles under different types of dynamic trunk...
