A Polyphasic Perspective on Escherichia coli Niche-Specificity: The Characterization of Naturalized, Wastewater-Specific E. coli and the Emergence of Wastewater Treatment Resistance in the Microbial World
DownloadFall 2024
Although typically considered to be capable of colonizing and transiting between several different niches, evidence suggests that the Escherichia coli species exhibits a significant degree of host- and niche-specificity. This has led to the hypothesis that E. coli taxonomy may be more...

Acute lethality of mine depressurization water to trout-perch (Percopsis omiscomaycus) and rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) Volume I
Download1979
Mine depressurization water obtained from five wells on Lease 17 held by Syncrude Canada Limited, was examined for chemical composition and acute toxicity to two species of fish. In the first series of experiments, mine depressurization water was diluted with various proportions of water...

Acute lethality of mine depressurization water to trout-perch (Percopsis omiscomaycus) and rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) Volume II
Download1979
Volume 2 In order to conduct oil sands mining operations in the surface mining region of the Athabasca oil sands deposits, most regions require depressurization of the basal sandstone formations. The groundwater produced by depressurization operations is of poor enough quality to be toxic to...

Baseline states of organic constituents in the Athabasca river system upstream of Fort McMurray
Download1979
Investigations were carried out on the Athabasca River upstream of Fort McMurray to determine the baseline quantities of organic constituents and their contribution to the organic water quality of the river system as it continues through the Athabasca Oil Sands strip mining area. Results of these...

Spring 2017
Severe localized corrosion was found throughout an aeration tank of a modular wastewater treatment plant. Specifically, pitting, crevice corrosion, galvanic corrosion, and intergranular corrosion (IGC) were observed on the 5000 and 6000 series aluminum alloys used in the tank’s construction. One...

Development and Application of Methods for Sensitive and Specific Detection of SARS-CoV-2 and Variants in Clinical and Environmental Samples
DownloadFall 2024
The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2, had far-reaching global health consequences, with the virus spreading rapidly via respiratory droplets and aerosols. Accurate and timely diagnostic testing became critical for guiding public health policies and preventing the spread of infections. The...

Feather Keratin Derived Sustainable Biosorbents for Adsorption of Heavy Metal Ions from Water
DownloadSpring 2023
Water is the epicenter of sustainability and has an essential part of the existence and development of the ecosystem and socioeconomic pillars. However, one in every three humans does not have access to clean drinking water around the globe and heavy metal ions pollution is the major contributor....

Fall 2016
Patterns of microbial host specificity have been observed at all host-related taxonomic levels, and several studies have demonstrated that Escherichia coli (E. coli) appears to display some level of host adaptation and specificity. Colonization of the gastrointestinal tract by E. coli largely...

Fall 2013
Misfolded prions (PrPSc) are well known for their resistance to conventional decontamination processes. The potential risk of contamination of the water environment, as a result of the disposal of specified risk materials (SRM), has raised public concerns. Ozone is commonly utilized in the water...
