Fall 2016
Microalgae are a diverse group of photosynthetic microorganisms that have complex relationships with their surrounding bacteria, which are often controlled by the exchange of bioactive molecules. Emiliania huxleyi is a ubiquitous marine microalga, forming massive blooms, driving the marine carbon...

Application of Low Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound for Microbial Cell Stimulation in Bioprocesses And Development of Carbon-based Silver Covered Filters for Microbial Cells Removal in Water Systems
DownloadSpring 2017
Renewable resources with their potential application in food industry, pharmacy, energy sector, chemistry, material science etc. can be a major player in our everyday lives. Apart from sustainability in the production, the use of bioprocesses in the energy production and waste water treatment can...

Assessment of Environmental and Economic Footprints of Algae Production Systems for Colder Climate
DownloadFall 2019
Many open pond raceway (OPR) production systems for algae cultivation continue to be developed for moderate and hot climates (e.g., the USA, Europe and Australia). However, there has been very limited research on economic and environmental evaluations to assess whether these systems can be...

Chronic Fatigue Mechanisms in Autoimmune Diseases: Lessons from Primary Biliary Cholangitis and Systemic Sclerosis
DownloadFall 2023
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease affecting the body's connective tissues, resulting in progressive fibrosis and vasculopathy. In some cases, individuals with SSc may also develop primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), another autoimmune disease characterized by damage to their...

Fall 2014
An individual’s body weight is tightly regulated by balancing food intake with energy expenditure. This is accomplished in part by secretion of the hormone leptin by adipocytes, an excess of which signals to reduce appetite and increase activity through action in the hypothalamic region of the...

Dimensions of Physical Activity as Related to Child Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Symptoms and Impairment
DownloadFall 2020
Empirically-supported treatments for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are medication and behaviour management, but there is widespread consensus for a need for more treatment options. Increasing support suggests that physical activity (PA) may be an adjunct/alternative to existing...

Efficacy and side-effect profiles of lactulose, docusate sodium, and sennosides compared to PEG in opioid-induced constipation: A systematic review
DownloadSpring 2012
Opioid-induced constipation (OIC) is an unpleasant and ubiquitous side effect of opioid treatment. Ineffective treatment of OIC can result in decreased adherence to opioid therapy, decreased quality of life, and increased morbidity and mortality. The constipating effects of opioids result from...

Fall 2023
Global melting of mountain glaciers is altering downstream ecosystems. As glaciers disappear, downstream water temperatures are rising while turbidity and nutrient concentrations decline. Here, knowledge gaps exist concerning how these abiotic changes will affect primary producers in glacial...

IN HOT WATER: A BACTERIAL PATHOGEN DISPLAYING TEMPERATURE-ENHANCED VIRULENCE OF THE MICROALGA EMILIANIA HUXLEYI
DownloadFall 2016
Emiliania huxleyi is a globally abundant microalga that plays a significant role in biogeochemical cycles. Over the next century, sea surface temperatures are predicted to increase drastically, which will likely have significant effects on the survival and ecology of E. huxleyi. In a warming...
