Molecular assays to detect the presence and viability of Phytophthora ramorum and Grosmannia clavigera
Download2020-02-01
Wong, Barbara, Leal, Isabel, Feau, Nicolas, Dale, Angela, Uzunovic, Adnan, Hamelin, Richard C.
Wood and wood products can harbor microorganisms that can raise phytosanitary concerns in countries importing or exporting these products. To evaluate the efficacy of wood treatment on the survival of microorganisms of phytosanitary concern the method of choice is to grow microbes in petri dishes...

Treatment of Primary Influent Wastewater during Wet Weather Flow by Powdered Activated Carbon – Catalyzed Ozonation: From Fundamentals to Application
DownloadFall 2020
Cities equipped with combined sewers to accommodate domestic and industrial wastewater as well as storm water runoffs, encounter the need to prevent seasonal overflows into water bodies. An extensive literature review pertaining to the treatment of primary influent (PI) during wet weather...

Pai, Roshan S., Doraswami, Uttam R., Belino, Nuno, Paul, Rosham
The textile industry contributes significantly to the growth of the global economy, but it is also one of the most polluting industries.1 Bleaching of cotton is an integral part of the textile wet processing industry. It is carried out to remove naturally occurring coloring matters from cotton to...

Treatment of Oil Sands Process-affected Water (OSPW) Using Integrated Fixed-film Activated Sludge (IFAS) Reactors
DownloadFall 2016
The oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) generated from bitumen extraction of oil sands, is currently stored in tailings ponds due to its toxicity to the aquatic organisms. The primary toxic constituents of OSPW are a complex mixture of alicyclic and aliphatic compounds containing carboxyl...

Caverhill-Godkewitsch, Saul A.
The infrastructure necessary to support diagnostic and pathogen-detection processes does not exist in some regions of the world that need it most. Access to fast, inexpensive and portable diagnostic infrastructure could be a solution to this problem. Next generation lab-on-chip (LOC) systems that...

Fall 2015
In this work, low temperature ozonation of Canadian Athabasca bitumen with ozone-enriched air in the temperature range of 140 to 160°C was investigated. Due to the resonance hybrid structure of ozone, it reacts directly and indirectly with the hydrocarbon molecules. Indirect ozone reaction...

Variation in Fetal Outcome, Viral Load and ORF5 Sequence Mutations in a Large Scale Study of Phenotypic Responses to Late Gestation Exposure to Type 2 Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus
Download2014
Plastow, G., Lunney, J. K., Ladinig, A., Ashley, C., Detmer, S. E., Wilkinson, A., Harding, J. C. S.
In spite of extensive research, the mechanisms of reproductive disease associated with Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome virus (PRRSv) are still poorly understood. The objectives of this large scale study were to evaluate associations between viral load and fetal preservation,...
