RF-compensated Langmuir Probe Diagnostics of Pulsed Plasma Ion Implantation System
(2020-01-17)The core of this project focuses on the development of a method for prediction of ion implantation dose in processing plasmas. The vital variable is fluence, i.e. ion implantation dose, which is currently predicted by ... -
Deciphering the Dolomitization History of the Lower Member Winnipegosis Carbonates: Basin-Scale Gradients in Magnesium and Strontium Isotopes Identify the Deep Structural Center of the Williston Basin as a Source of Reactive Magnesium
(2020-01-16)Dolomitized carbonates in the Williston Basin are common below the Middle Devonian Prairie Evaporite Formation, highlighting the conceivable role of brine reflux as the source of magnesium (Mg) for dolomitization. However, ... -
BEAVER DAM CAPACITY IN THE CANADIAN BOREAL PLAINS ECOZONE: AN ANALYSIS OF RIDING MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK
(2020-01-16)Beaver, and the dams they build, have a profound impact on aquatic ecosystem-forming processes in every landscape they occupy. Beaver dams increase surface water retention, sedimentation storage, enhance riparian plant ... -
Investigating the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) RNA Translation Modulation by Non-Structural Protein 5A (NS5A)
(2020-01-15)Hepatitis C virus (HCV) non-structural protein NS5A is a multifunctional protein and despite lacking enzymatic activity has critical roles in viral replication and assembly. The role of NS5A in HCV RNA translation has not ... -

Chemical Profiling of Five Canadian Haskap Berry Varieties and the Roles of their Phenolic Extracts in Modulating Cellular Stress in Human Fibroblasts
(2020-01-15)Interest in plant phenolic structure(s) and their applications has grown due to their potent antioxidant and nutraceutical potential. Many plant species produce phenolics for a variety of functions, with high levels of ... -
INTERACTIVE EFFECT OF DIETARY FIBRE AND IMMUNE CHALLENGE ON THREONINE REQUIREMENT AND INTESTINAL BARRIER FUNCTION IN GROWING PIGS
(2020-01-15)High dietary fibre (DF) and immune system stimulation (ISS) are thought to limit amino acid availability for protein deposition (PD) and growth in pigs. Fibre and threonine (Thr) may also play an important role in intestinal ... -
ASSESSMENT OF THE BEHAVIOR OF GEMINI SURFACTANT NANOPARTICLES WITHIN BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS USING MASS SPECTROMETRY
(2020-01-15)Gemini surfactants are a class of lipid molecules that have been successfully used in vitro and in vivo as non-viral gene delivery vectors. However, the biological behavior of gemini surfactant nanoparticles has not been ... -
Design of a Knowledge-Based System for Unsaturated Soil Properties
(1996)The Soil-Water Characteristic Curve (SWCC) is an important soil function relating the amount of water in a soil to soil suction. Many soil properties (or functions)can be related to the water content versus suction ... -
