DEVELOPMENT OF A RAPID IN SITU TRANSESTERIFICATION METHOD FOR FATTY ACID ANALYSIS IN MICROALGAE
(2012-04-27)The FAME yield from microalgae of two in situ transesterification methods were compared to a typical Folch et al. (1957) extraction followed by transesterification using the Hilditch et al. (1964) procedure. A method based ... -
Development of a REILP Approach for Long-Term Planning of WRM System in Saudi Arabia
(2014-12-08)Water resources in Saudi Arabia are very limited. However, the population is steadily growing at a high rate. Since the yearly rainfall rate is very low in most regions of the country, the non-renewable groundwater has ... -
Development of a Standardized Leaching Procedure for the Evaluation of Uranium Mobility in Groundwater in Nova Scotia
(2016-08-25)Approximately 4% of drinking water wells in Nova Scotia contain elevated concentrations of naturally-occurring uranium. There is demand for a simple and effective procedure to evaluate soil and rock formations for uranium ... -
Development of a Technique for Sub-nm Measurements of 1-D Motion and its Application to MEMS
(2019-04-29)This thesis examines the development and testing of a new algorithm for measuring rectilinear displacements in Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS), however the algorithm could easily be applied to other applications. ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF A VIBRATION-BASED HEALTH MONITORING STRATEGY FOR ONSHORE AND OFFSHORE PIPELINES
(2013-12-16)Ageing mechanical, civil, aerospace, marine and offshore structures require continuous and accurate assessment on their integrity to avoid potentially hazardous failures. To further facilitate this crucial demand, a new ... -
Development of Adhesion Force microscopy for the surface charge analysis of collagen fibrils in vivo and in vitro
(2023-06-12)Collagen fibrils are a key component of the extracellular matrix. In this study, we use the adhesion force between a silicon probe and a collagen substrate to demonstrate the sensitivity of adhesion force towards charge ... -

Development of AlSi10Mg-AlN Metal Matrix Composites for Laser Powder Bed Fusion Additive Manufacturing
(2023-08-24)AlSi10Mg is an aluminum alloy widely utilized in additive manufacturing (AM) due to its favorable response to processing and high strength-to-weight ratio. However, its stiffness, thermal conductivity, and thermal stability ... -
Development of Aluminum Powder Metallurgy Alloys for Aerospace Applications
(2014-03-31)Currently, there is a high demand for lightweight aerospace materials, driven by the desire to provide enhanced fuel efficiency by reducing vehicular weight. Aluminum alloys are attractive due to their excellent mechanical ... -
Development of An Antibiotic Marker-Free Gene Delivery System in Streptococcus gordonii
(2013-04-25)Streptococcus gordonii, a commensal oral bacterium, is considered a good candidate to function as a live oral vaccine vector. The introduction of vaccine antigen genes into S. gordonii relies on the use of antibiotic ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF AN AUTOMATED DEBRIS DETECTION SYSTEM FOR WILD BLUEBERRY HARVESTERS USING A CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORK TO IMPROVE FRUIT QUALITY
(2020-11-16)Improving wild blueberry fruit quality has become increasingly important to producers due to the tightening profit margin facing the industry. The continuous development of field management practices (i.e., application of ... -
Development of an Experimental Device For Monitoring Frost Heave in Soils
(2013-06-24)The goal of this research is to develop a laboratory freeze cell and experimental methods to monitor frost heave in soil samples. This will allow the ability to identify the mechanisms of ice lens formation under ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF AN IN VITRO ASSAY TO EVALUATE ANTIMICROBIALS
(2012-07-27)In vitro assays were developed using small intestinal contents from broilers fed maltodextrin in preparation for shipping. This was done to establish an effective bactericidal dose of allicin or lysozyme as ingredients ... -
THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN IN VITRO MODEL TO EXAMINE AND MODULATE HEPATIC ISCHEMIA AND REPERFUSION RESPONSES
(2011-09-07)Transplantation is the optimal form of therapy for patients with end-stage liver disease; however, the use of organs with hepatic steatosis is often associated with increased risks for poor function and graft loss. In ... -
Development of an Instrument to Assess Design Ability of Engineering Students
