X-ray crystallographic studies of bovine serum albumin and helicobacter pylori thioredoxin-2
(2004-12-20)The initial motivation for crystallization of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) is an interest to understand how thiomolybdates interact with BSA and suppress copper intake from the food sources of cattle. The main objective of ... -
X-ray Crystallography of Inositol Dehydrogenase Enzymes
(2015-04-30)Lactobacillus casei BL23 expresses two enzymes encoded by the genes iolG1 and iolG2. They have been putatively assigned as myo-inositol dehydrogenases by sequence comparison. The enzyme catalyzes the reversible conversion ... -
X-RAY CRYSTALLOGRAPHY OF RECOMBINANT LACTOCCOCUS LACTIS PROLIDASE
(2016-01-21)Prolidase has potential applications in cheese debittering, organophosphate detoxification and as an enzyme replacement therapy in prolidase-deficient patients. Recombinant Lactococcus lactis prolidases and their catalytic ... -
X-RAY DOSE DEPENDENCE OF DARK CURRENT IN AMORPHOUS SELENIUM-ALLOY X-RAY PHOTOCONDUCTORS
(2016-10-06)The dark current is an important characteristic of a photoconductive X-ray detector, and can impact the dynamic range of the detector and its detective quantum efficiency. It is therefore essential that the dark current ... -
X-ray Induced Changes in Electronic Properties of Stabilized Amorphous Selenium Based Photoconductors
(2016-07-07)Amorphous selenium and its alloy are important materials for flat panel digital X-ray detectors. The performance of the X-ray detector is directly related to the carrier mobility and carrier-trapping lifetime of amorphous ... -
X-RAY INDUCED EFFECT ON CHARGE CARRIER TRAPPING LIFETIME OF a-Se PHOTOCONDUCTORS AND THE RECOVERY PROCESS
(2018-08-31)Amorphous selenium (a-Se) alloy x-ray detectors are currently used in commercial mammographic detectors for breast cancer detection and diagnosis. They have been only recently commercialized and there are now at least five ... -
X-ray microscopy of hydrocarbon-clay interactions
(2007-08-30)One of the critical challenges in the Canadian oil sand industry is improving processes used to separate bitumen from oil sands and to remove clay particulates from produced oil. The fine clay particles are believed to ... -
X-ray sensitivity and x-ray induced charge transport changes in stabilized amorphous selenium films
(2000-04-01)This study investigated the mobility and trapping of charges and the recombination of x-ray induced charges in a-Se. X-ray induced changes in these parameters were also examined. Prior to exposure to x-rays, the ... -
X-ray spectroscopy of organic materials
(2009)The radiation-induced decomposition of glycine is studied using a combination of Near Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (NEXAFS) measurements and density functional theory calculations. Principal Component Analysis was ... -
X-ray Transitions in Broad Band Materials
(2013-08-28)The general application of soft X-ray spectroscopy in the study of the electronic structure of materials is discussed, with particular emphasis on broad band materials. Several materials are studied using both soft X-ray ... -
X-ray-induced changes in optical properties of doped and undoped amorphous selenium
(2018-03-16)Amorphous selenium has been used as an important material for the flat-panel X-ray image detector. Its image quality is affected by a sensitivity which is reduced under high or long duration of X-ray exposure due to the ... -
The year of the rat : images of betrayal in Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four
(2007)An examination of the image of the rat in Nineteen Eighty-Four, with a focus on how the rat becomes a metaphor for Winston. Further, an examination of how Winston's rat-like behaviour has affected his early family life ... -
YIELD, NUTRIENT UPTAKE, NITROGEN FIXATION AND RELEASE BY SOYBEAN, PEA, AND LENTIL AND IMPACT ON FOLLOWING CROPS IN ROTATION IN SASKATCHEWAN, CANADA
(2017-02-01)As soybean acreage is expanding in western Canada, research is required to assess soybean production regarding the yield, nutrient uptake, N2 fixation, and the effects on following crops under local soil-climatic conditions. ... -
Yoga and self-esteem : exploring change in middle-aged women
(2007)Of the numerous psychological constructs self-esteem is the most known. It is well documented that having high levels of self-esteem is associated with positive health implications. Self-esteem is theorized as a global ... -
'You Can't Have it All French, All at Once': French Language Rights, Bilingualism, and Political Community in Saskatchewan, 1870-1990
(2016-07-14)This study is about the place of French and French speakers in the Saskatchewan political community. Beginning with the political foundations of western Canada in 1870, it argues that exclusion of the French language and ... -
You never run out of 'why' : critical thinking and pre-service teachers
(2008)Education literature is replete with articles on critical thinking in secondary and post secondary education. However, the bulk of this literature focuses on the process from the educator’s perspective of student performance ... -
"You should have known better:" The Social Implications of Victim-Focused Sexual Assault Prevention Tips
