Water sorption isotherms and glass transition temperatures of raspberries were determined to understand interactions between water and biopolymers. Water adsorption and desorption isotherms of raspberries were determined with an isopiestic method. Thermal transitions of raspberries equilibrated...

Water sorption isotherms, glass transition, and microstructures of Refractance Window (RW)– and freeze-dried Philippine “Carabao” mango powders were investigated. Water sorption isotherms were developed by the isopiestic method, while thermal transition of the powders, at various water activities...

North Saskatchewan Watershed Alliance (NSWA)

The North Saskatchewan River Basin (NSRB) exhibits significant spatial variability in temperature and precipitation, both within any given year and from year to year. In the mountains and higher foothills, precipitation tends to be relatively high and evapotranspiration low, resulting in high...

The overall purpose of the study is to evaluate how water trading could improve water use efficiency in southern Alberta, Canada and how benefits of water reallocation could be achieved in the Nile River basin in Africa. The impact of water scarcity has become more prominent in these areas in...

Two structure-function hypotheses were tested for vesselless angiosperm wood. First, vesselless angiosperm wood should have much higher flow resistance than conifer wood because angiosperm tracheids lack low-resistance torus-margo pits. Second, vesselless wood ought to be exceptionally safe from...

Bark beetles are important agents of tree mortality in conifer forests and their interaction with trees is influenced by host defense chemicals, such as monoterpenes and phenolics. Since mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) has expanded its host range from lodgepole pine (Pinus...

Selenium is toxic in excess with a high mobility in water. Existing adsorbents only show some removal capacity for selenite but perform poorly (typical removal percentage < 50 %) for selenate, the more bioavailable and soluble species. In this thesis, two Magnetic particle-Graphene Oxide...
