Spring 2013
Research was undertaken into the organic semiconductors tris(8- hydroxyquinoline)aluminum (Alq3) as well as bis(8-hydroxyquinoline)zinc (Znq2) to the effect of improving achievable morphological control using an inexpensive evaporation based solution synthesis method. By varying experimental...

Gestational weight gain, physical activity, and nutrition counselling practices of prenatal health care providers: What influences practice?
DownloadFall 2016
Appropriate gestational weight gain is important for maternal and child health. Data from a recent Alberta cohort showed 49% of pregnant women gained weight in excess of Health Canada guidelines. Regional studies have shown low rates of gestational weight gain counselling by health care...

Integration of Nanomechanical Resonators in Microfluidic Systems for Specific Protein Detection
DownloadFall 2009
Nanomechanical resonators offer a pathway towards highly sensitive and label-free detection of biomolecules by transducing the mass of bound analytes into resonant frequency shifts. Zeptogram level and even single cell detections have been successfully achieved by others. However, these...

Microcantilever sensor has gained much popularity because of its high sensitivity and selectivity. It consists of a micro-sized cantilever that is usually coated on one side with chemical/biological probe agents to generate strong attraction to target molecules. The interactions between the probe...

Resonant microcantilevers are promising transducers for bacteria detection because of their high sensitivities. Surface stress and mass from adsorbates affect the resonant frequency. We developed a novel method for decoupling the frequency contributions of a change in mass and surface stress on a...
