In adsorptive separation of binary gas mixtures, regeneration techniques require either a long operation time or high energy consumption. Microwave heating offers the advantage of faster heating and lower energy consumption. A comparison of microwave heating and conductive heating for the...

Natural regeneration in the boreal forest: seedling establishment and success in western North American and European boreal forests
DownloadFall 2014
As the costs and ecological implications of intensive forest management rise, alternative management strategies that minimize intervention become more desirable options, particularly natural regeneration. Two locations were studied: the boreal mixedwoods of western North America (Alberta) and...

Non-viral Gene Delivery of BMP-2 Plasmid from Collagen Based Scaffolds for Bone Regeneration Therapy
DownloadSpring 2021
Significant progress in the field of bone regeneration therapy has been achieved in the last two decades. While regeneration therapies with autogenous, allografts and exogenous grafts are remaining the preferred treatments, the outcomes remained are usually sub-optimal. Gene therapy holds a great...

Peripheral nerve regeneration: A study of surgical and biological techniques to enhance functional regeneration
DownloadFall 2009
Unlike the central nervous system, axonal regeneration does occur in the peripheral nervous system, however, despite this, functional recovery from nerve transection injury remains dismal. This has been attributed to factors intrinsic to the motor or sensory cell body and to elements in the...

Regional-scale hydrologic settings buffer black spruce regeneration in the presence of post-fire droughts
DownloadSpring 2024
Lanti-Traikovski, Alexander A.
Climate change is increasing the frequency of droughts and wildfires, reducing tree recruitment, and altering post-fire species composition. In Canada’s western boreal forests, postfire recruitment, particularly of drought-intolerant coniferous species like black spruce, has declined in recent...

Sensory Nerve Injuries: Advances in Diagnosis and Novel Therapy to Enhance Sensory Recovery in Humans
DownloadFall 2013
The unique difference between central and peripheral nervous systems is that regeneration actually occurs in the periphery. However, the functional recovery after surgical repair is highly variable and return to pre-injury state despite surgical advances is rare. When specifically looking at...
