Design and electrochemical study of Pd-based nanostructures for hydrogen economy
(2017)Hydrogen storage remains one of the most challenging prerequisites to overcome toward the realization of a hydrogen based economy. The use of hydrogen as an energy carrier for fuel cell applications has been limited by the ... -
The development of an in-situ ATR-FTIR technique for the study of nanomaterials
(2009)The Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy technique utilizes a short acquisition time and high sensitivity to function as a strong analytical tool in electrochemical studies. This work will focus on the development of ... -
Development of multi-probe fluorescence-based assay for boNTA detection
(2015-08-05)Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) cause the lethal disease botulism through the inhibition of acetyl choline secretion by the cleavage of crucial SNARE proteins. Determination of critical residues in the protein sequence of ... -
Dispersion and flocculation affinity of anionically charged kraft lignin
(2018)Softwood kraft lignin is a biodegradable, renewable, and environmentally friendly natural polymer. Although kraft lignin is widely produced in Canada, it is predominantly underutilized as fuel because it is only soluble ... -
Flocculation performance of lignin-acrylamide derivatives
(2019)Wastewater produced in different industries contains fine suspended particles that raise a number of environmental concerns due to their potential toxicity and physicochemical properties and make their removal from industrial ... -
An investigation of saccharide complexation by aqueous oxoacids. Can oxoacids mediate A1-2 quorum sensing in bacteria?
(2013-02-12)The goal of this investigation was to determine whether it is plausible for bacterial AI-2 quorum sensing to be selectively regulated by environmentally available oxoacids. In particular, we investigated the ability of ... -
The medical applications of hyperpolarized Xe and nonproton magnetic resonance imaging
(2024)Hyperpolarized 129Xe (HP 129Xe) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a relatively young field which is experiencing significant advancements each year. Conventional proton MRI is widely used in clinical practice as an ... -
Organic semiconductors containing multi-heteroatom rings
(2018)Oligomers of thiophene are ubiquitous in molecular materials research. Other ring systems, especially those lacking at least C2v symmetry are much less common. We investigated thiophene-thiazole, pyrrole-thiazole, ... -
Synthesis and electrochemical study of palladium-based nanomaterials for green energy applications
(2014-01-22)Rising global energy consumption leads to increased environmental impacts. The continued use of current energy resources, e.g. fossil fuels, will exaggerate the cumulative nature of CO2 byproduct emissions in the atmosphere. ...
