Meghen, C. N., Platz, S. S., Hu, X. S., Moore, S. S., Simila, J., Plastow, G.
Estimating animal abundance in industrial scale batches of ground meat is important for mapping meat products through the manufacturing process and for effectively tracing the finished product during a food safety recall. The processing of ground beef involves a potentially large number of...

Exploration of Microscopic Structure and Dynamics in Halide Perovskite and Perovskite−Inspired Materials with Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy
DownloadSpring 2022
The work presented in this thesis describes the synthesis, structure, and optical properties of three different classes of halide-based perovskite materials, namely, metal halide perovskites of ABX3 type, halide double perovskites of A2B'B"X6 type, and “vacancy-ordered perovskites” of A2BX6 type...

How the mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) breached the Canadian Rocky Mountains
Download2014-01-01
Sperling, Felix A. H., Murray, Brent W., Li, Yisu, Coltman, David W., Bohlmann, Joerg, Janes, Jasmine K., Cooke, Janice E. K., Boone, Celia K., Huber, Dezene P.W., Keeling, Christopher I., Yuen, Macaire M. S.
The mountain pine beetle (MPB; Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins), a major pine forest pest native to western North America, has extended its range north and eastward during an ongoing outbreak. Determining how the MPB has expanded its range to breach putative barriers, whether physical...

Integrating Characteristics of Executive Functions in Non-Demented Aging: Structure, Trajectories, Classification, and Biomarker Predictors
DownloadSpring 2019
In aging, executive function (EF) performance (level) and change (trajectory) are linked to multiple interacting risk factors. Structurally, EFs have previously been represented as either a unitary (e.g., unidimensional) or diverse (e.g., multidimensional) set of abilities that change across the...

NFRF-I awarded 2024: This project focuses on enhancing energy transition planning, recognizing that such plans must: integrate mitigation and adaptation; embrace a justice framework; and be socio culturally embedded within local geographies. This demands direct engagement with the diverse peoples...

Mitochondrial DNA variation and identification of bark weevils in the Pissodes strobi species group in western Canada (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Download1995
Sperling, F. A. H., Langor, D. W.
Abstract: Morphological, allozyme, and chromosomal characters and ecological traits have limited value for discriminating among four closely related Pissodes spp. known from western Canada. We amplified a 1585-bp segment of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), including half of the cytochrome oxidase I...

Molecular Mechanisms Underlying the Enhancement of Cardiac Contraction by Modifications of Troponin
DownloadFall 2015
A fine balance between contraction and relaxation is crucial for the heart to function properly. But often the heart cannot contract with enough force to meet the demands of the body. This condition, called systolic heart failure, is the leading cause of death in the modern society. A common...

Multinuclear Magnetic Resonance Tracking of Hydro, Thermal and Hydrothermal Decomposition of CH3NH3PbI3
Download2017-01-01
Askar, A.,, Bernard, G.M, Wiltshire,, B., Shankar, K., Michaelis, V.K.
An NMR investigation of methylammonium lead iodide, the leading member of the hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite class of materials, and of its putative decomposition products as a result of exposure to heat and humidity, has been undertaken. We show that the 207Pb NMR spectra of the compound of...

New insights about barnacle reproduction: Spermcast mating, aerial copulation and population genetic consequences
DownloadSpring 2014
Barnacles are mostly hermaphroditic and they are believed to mate via copulation or, in a few species, by self-fertilization. However, isolated individuals of two species that are thought not to self-fertilize, Pollicipes polymerus and Balanus glandula, nonetheless carried fertilized...
