Fall 2015
Gastric cancer is an aggressive malignancy. Much of the mortality is attributable to delayed diagnosis from non-specific symptoms, and lack of early and accurate screening modalities. Metabolomics, the most downstream of the “omics” sciences (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics) is the latest...

Use of a solvent in the oxidative desulfurization of bitumen via autoxidation; effects on viscosity and oxidation
DownloadSpring 2014
This work describes the effect that including a solvent in the reaction media of the autoxidation of Cold Lake bitumen has on the viscosity and also on the oxidation degree reached. The comparison of viscosity was performed both in the basis of equal residence time and equal oxygen conversion...

Use of an Acoustic Location System to Understand Songbird Response to Vegetation Regeneration on Reclaimed Wellsites in the Boreal Forest of Alberta
DownloadFall 2017
Limited information exists on the recovery of different ecosystem components following reclamation of oil and gas wellsites in the boreal forest of Alberta. Songbird response to wellsite reclamation efforts in the boreal forest was previously unexamined, despite the abundance of wellsites,...

Use of autobiographical memory cues as cognitive support for episodic memory: Comparison of individuals with mild-stage Alzheimer's disease and healthy older adults
DownloadFall 2009
The purpose of the study was to examine the effectiveness of autobiographical memories to support the improvement of episodic memory (i.e., word recall) in patients with mild- stage Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and healthy older adults. Participants included 20 healthy young-old adults (M Age =...

Use of Bioacoustic Technology to Evaluate Habitat Use and Road Effects on Two Anuran Amphibians in the Boreal Region of Northeastern Alberta
DownloadFall 2017
Habitat loss and fragmentation are thought to be leading causes behind local to global amphibian declines. Recent expansion of the energy sector in the western boreal forest of northeastern Alberta raises concerns for amphibians that occupy this landscape. Methods for monitoring anuran amphibians...
