Fall 2015
The release of outer membrane vesicles (OMV) is utilized by Gram-negative bacteria to perform a myriad of functions during pathogenesis and symbiosis. Despite their well-recognized roles, the mechanism responsible for OMV formation in bacteria remains elusive. Whether OMV are produced by an...

Toxic effects induced in mammalian immune cells after in vitro exposure to oil sands process-affected water and its fractions
DownloadFall 2019
Oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) is produced by the surface mining industry in Alberta as a byproduct of the Clark hot water process, the currently used extraction method of crude oil from bitumen/tar sands. Under a provincial zero release policy all produced OSPW must be stored on site....

Toxicological Characterization of Hydraulic Fracturing Flowback and Produced Water Exposures to Aquatic Organisms
DownloadFall 2021
Hydraulic fracturing is an unconventional oil and gas extraction method used to liberate oil and gas reserves from low permeability geological formations by injecting large quantities of fracturing fluid into the well-bore under high pressures. A by-product of this process is flowback and...

Fall 2016
Engineered nanomaterials (NMs), tiny synthetic materials having at least one dimension between one and one hundred billionths of a metre, are increasingly being developed for and incorporated into a myriad of commercial, consumer, and industrial applications due to their unique and tailorable...

Tracking the Evolutionary History of Development Genes: Implications for the Diversification of Fruits and Flowers in the Brassicaceae and Cleomaceae
DownloadFall 2014
Flowers of Brassicaceae are remarkably similar across all species, whereas their fruits vary in almost all conceivable traits, particularly in the tribe Brassiceae. In contrast, Brassicaceae’s sister family, Cleomaceae, exhibits substantial variation in flowers but are more uniform in their...

A ubiquitous problem for all foragers is the trade-off between acquiring food energy while simultaneously avoiding the risk of predation. In central montane Alberta I modelled how ungulate forage changes with succession within cutblocks and the implications for forage availability to ungulates...

Transcriptional Control of Auxin-Transport-Dependent Vein Patterning in Arabidopsis thaliana
DownloadSpring 2020
Most multicellular organisms solve the problem of long-distance transport of signals and nutrients by means of tissue networks such as the vascular system of vertebrate embryos and the vein network of plant leaves; therefore, how vascular networks form is a key question in biology. In...
