BIOMASS TORREFACTION – GRINDABILITY AND DUST EXPLOSIBILITY
(2015-05-01)Torrefaction, a thermo-chemical process, improves properties such as energy density, grindability, hydrophobicity of the biomass. As a result of the altered properties, the biomass behaves more like coal increasing the ... -
A Biomechanical and Neuromuscular Investigation of Femoroacetabular Impingement: Understanding Pathomechanics using Inclined and Declined Walking
(2020-08-26)Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a proliferative musculoskeletal diagnosis in young adults. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effect of challenged walking on gait mechanics in individuals with ... -
The Biomechanical Effects of an Externally Applied Orthosis on Medial Compartment Knee Osteoarthritis
(2011-12-19)This thesis examined the immediate biomechanical effects of valgus unloader brace application in participants with moderate medial compartment knee osteoarthritis during gait. Thirty-three individuals were prescribed a ... -
A Biomechanical Investigation of a Novel Implant for the Stabilization of Distal Radius Fractures
(2012-08-28)Distal radius fractures are the single most common type of fracture suffered among the adult population. Presently, clinical decision making regarding optimal treatment is inconclusive. The goal of this thesis was to design, ... -
Biomechanics of forward skating in ice hockey
(1975)The purpose of this thesis was to conduct a biomechanical analysis of hockey players skating at top speed in a direct line. Fourteen subjects from four different levels of ice hockey competition were chosen for this ... -
Biomimetic Metamorphic Framework for Security in Resource-Constrained Wireless Networks
(2015-04-01)Contemporary mobile devices are being increasingly integrated with technologies such as RFID (radio frequency identification) and WBAN (wireless body area networks) that enable object identification and sensing in the ... -

(2017-09-01)Yield, functional properties and antioxidant activities of salmon by-product protein hydrolysates derived from processing waste were investigated. Atlantic salmon by-products were ground and bioprocessed with the addition ... -
Biorefining of Spruce Wood for Nanocellulose and Reducing Sugars Production: Exploring Greener Alternatives
(2023-12-15)Lignocellulosic biomass, available in the form of agriculture and forest residues is an abundant renewable source of energy and products. Cellulose nanocrystals and fermentable reducing sugars are amongst the major bioproducts ... -
Bioremediation of creosote-treated wood waste
(2010-11-05)Currently, creosote-treated wood waste is mainly landfilled but the Province of Nova Scotia would prefer to see the waste converted to a valuable product. Bioremediation provides a treatment option for creosote-treated ... -
Biosimilars: The Quest for a Rational Regulatory and Intellectual Property Approach in Canada
(2020-09-01)Biologics and biosimilars represent the promise for more effective treatments of many diseases. International treaty obligations influenced heavily by the biopharmaceutical industry and advanced through the international ... -
