Assessing Algal Community Structure and Nutrient Uptake Kinetics Across a Nutrient Gradient in Agricultural Streams
DownloadFall 2020
Streams provide important ecosystem services, such as the transformation of organic matter and water purification, while transporting water from headwaters to larger receiving waterbodies downstream. Excess nutrients introduced through anthropogenic land use put stress on aquatic ecosystems and...

Fall 2019
Canada is committed to reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to mitigate the effects of global warming. A major source of GHG emissions is coal-based power generation. Replacing (fossil) coal with biomass-based feedstocks for the generation of electricity could help reduce these emissions....

Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Ascophyllum nodosum for the Co-Production of Biofuels and Value-Added Products
DownloadSpring 2019
Vargas Sepulveda, Hector Mauricio
There has been an increasing interest in the use of biorefining feedstocks for the production of value-added products. Seaweeds are of special interest, due to the fact that they do not compete for land use with food crops, have low to no lignin content, and can be grown in waste water or at sea,...

Fall 2020
The demand for fresh water is steadily increasing as a result of the increasing human populations and activities. On the other hand, water sources are limited, especially as the global warming continues to change the quantities and distribution of water all over the world. Therefore, focusing the...

Spring 2016
Cellulose nanocrystal (CNC), a new breathtaking nanomaterial, is of scientific and commercial interest because of its low density, renewability, biodegradability, non-toxity and wide range of application potential such as personal care, paints, pharmaceuticals, coatings, drilling fluids, etc (1)....

In nature, the molybdenite ores are frequently associated with copper sulfide minerals such as chalcopyrite, and the flotation separation of copper-molybdenum (Cu-Mo) sulfides largely relies on the use of toxic and hazardous depressants such as cyanides, Na2S/NaHS. It is desired to replace these...

Start-up Analysis of a Partial Nitrification Aerobic Granular Sludge System Treating High-Strength Municipal Digestate Supernatant
DownloadFall 2023
Ammonia pollution is a growing environmental concern affecting wastewater treatment. With rising concerns about energy consumption and increasingly strict discharge regulations, mitigation of energy expenditure and maintenance of high pollutant removal efficiency have fueled advances in...

Fall 2018
Surface colonization is ubiquitous in marine environments, and bacteria are one of the first, or primary colonizers, to attach to newly formed surfaces. Marine algae are host to a plethora of such bacterial colonizers, one of the most abundant being roseobacters. Most of known pathogenic or...

Trace Element Variability in Clay Sediments as a Function of Environmental Conditions within the Fluvial to Marine Water Transition Zone
DownloadFall 2019
Estuaries are marginal marine environments of considerable complexity, due to their spatial and temporal variations in hydrodynamic energy, water chemistry, and sediment source and composition. This complexity hinders geologists’ ability to accurately reconstruct paleoenvironments and...
