Performance and emissions of a DI diesel engine fueled by different biodiesel blends
(2014-01-22)
Biodiesel has been a promising clean alternative fuel to fossil fuels, which reduces the emissions that are released by fossil fuels, and possibly reduces the energy crisis caused by the exhaustion of petroleum resources ...
First Nations’ Equity Experts Talking about Differential Treatment, Identity Tension and Cultural Sovereignty: An Application of Weber’s Sociology
(2015)
Service providers, researchers and policy makers acknowledge that First Nations, and other marginalized citizens, encounter disproportionate barriers to being heard, feeling respected, developing trust, and accessing care ...
Plant microfossil analysis of middle woodland food residues, northern Minnesota
(2014-12-12)
Northern Minnesota lies within the southern edge of the Boreal Forest and, as a result, archaeological sites in this region typically have poor organic preservation and thin, disturbed, stratigraphy. For this reason, little ...
Perspectives on the Social, Economic and Environmental Impacts of All-season Roads in Two Remote First Nation Communities in Northern Ontario
(2016)
Remote Indigenous communities face a number of challenges associated with
accessibility. The development of all-season road corridors promises to solve some of
these problems. However, changes to transportation can create ...
Intra-lake and inter-lake variation in copper tolerance in Daphnia from clean and metal-contaminated lakes
(2014-01-22)
The freshwater invertebrate Daphnia can persist in historically metal-contaminated lakes
due to its ability to adapt to metal contamination. Since different Daphnia isolates have been
shown to have varying degrees of ...
Seeing without rods or cones: contributions of intrinsically-photosensitive retinal ganglion cells to the image-forming visual system
(2014-01-22)
It was long thought that rods and cones were the only components of the mammalian retina capable of conveying light information to the brain. Recently, a novel class of transduction-capable retinal ganglion cells containing ...
Who we are is where we come from : a historical curriculum resource for the Pic Mobert First Nation
(2014-01-22)
This qualitative study was undertaken in order to create a curriculum resource for use at the Netamisakomik Centre for Education (K-Grade 8 School) on the Pic Mobert First Nation. The Pic Mobert First Nation is located in ...
The effect of Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation on lipid composition, oxidative stress, and aldehyde concentrations in rat liver and brain
(2014-01-22)
Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production and removal of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), due to their multiple carbon-carbon double bonds, react readily with ROS ...
Cystathionine γ-lyase and hypoxia : implicating hydrogen sulfide in the hypoxic stress response
(2012-11-10)
Hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) has emerged as a novel and important gasotransmitter for the cardiovascular system, where it is generated mainly by cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE). Abnormal metabolism and functions of the H2 S/CSE ...
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 ...
