Assessment of the Utility and Impact of IV Magnesium Infusion on Patient Outcomes and Quality of Life in Acute Heart Failure
DownloadFall 2024
Heart failure (HF) is a complex condition which is a growing and lethal public health issue in Canada and internationally. In the last several decades, the number of treatments for HF with reduced ejection fraction, which makes up a large portion of the HF population, has grown. The recommended...

Microstructure-property correlation in magnesium-based hydrogen storage systems- The case for ball-milled magnesium hydride powder and Mg-based multilayered composites
DownloadSpring 2011
The main focus of this thesis is the characterization of defects and microstructure in high-energy ball milled magnesium hydride powder and magnesium-based multilayered composites. Enhancement in kinetics of hydrogen cycling in magnesium can be achieved by applying severe plastic deformation. A...
