Influences of grain boundaries and surface nanocrystallization of stainless Steel on Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Biofilm’s Adherence
DownloadSpring 2011
A common complication associated with medical implants is the infectious bio-film, which can cause chronic infection that is difficult to control. Grain boundaries (GBs) in materials of medical implants are often preferential locations for bacteria to congregate, which could be attributed to...

Instrumenting and Validating a Vibrotactile Device to Assess and Rehabilitate Dynamic Seated Balance
DownloadFall 2017
Tools that effectively assess and train dynamic seated balance are critical for enhancing functional independence and reducing risk of secondary health complications in the elderly and individuals with neuromuscular impairments. On the one hand, current assessment tools quantify changes in the...

Integrated Classification of Cannabis Strains Marketed in Canada for Medical Purposes Based on Genetic, Chemical Profiles, and Morphological Traits
DownloadFall 2021
The vernacular naming convention commonly used by the cannabis community (“Sativa” and “Indica”) is inadequate for identifying or selecting strains for clinical research and medicinal production because they are arbitrary and inconsistent. In addition, they mostly contain tetrahydrocannabinol...

Investigation into the effect of compliant response on fluid flow in an ex vivo heart perfusion test system
DownloadSpring 2017
Demand for heart transplants far exceeds supply. This is often attributed to the high percentage of donor hearts that are discarded due to cell injury and to the narrow six-hour time window currently available for transplantation. A method called ex vivo heart perfusion (EVHP) enables the use of...

Fall 2013
This thesis is focussed on bone tissue engineering for improving the osseointegration of joint implants. We have incorporated nano-scaled materials called as Rosette Nanotubes (RNTs) which mimic the geometry of the natural components of bone with the growth factor, Bone Morphogenetic Protein-7...

Lipid Modified Polymers for Transfection of Human CRL Fibroblasts, and for siRNA Mediated MDR Reversal in Melanoma Cancer Therapy
DownloadFall 2010
Gene delivery for therapeutic purposes is quickly emerging as the best potential treatment option for inherited genetic diseases and cancer. Viral gene carriers have been the choice for this purpose due to their high efficiency, but harmful immunogenic and oncogenic host reactions have limited...
