INVESTIGATION OF BIOLOGICAL FILTRATION FOR REMOVAL OF MANGANESE FROM DRINKING WATER
(2019-11-28)Reduced iron and manganese in drinking water can cause aesthetic concerns and manganese has potential neurotoxic effects. Biofiltration is a proven but poorly understood method for removal of manganese from drinking water. ... -
INVESTIGATION OF CARCINOGENIC PESTICIDE-ASSOCIATED N-NITROSO COMPOUNDS IN HUMAN SERUM AND URINE IN PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND
(2020-08-28)N-nitroso compounds form during acid-catalyzed reactions between certain nitrogen-containing compounds and nitrite. Approximately 90% of over 300 N–nitroso compounds have shown evidence of carcinogenicity. Pesticide-associated ... -
INVESTIGATION OF CIRCUMFERENTIALLY-GROOVED GRINDING WHEELS FOR CREEP-FEED GRINDING
(2015-01-13)This work investigates experimentally the use of a circumferentially-grooved grinding wheel on the creep-feed grinding process. The work was divided into three main objectives which are: investigating the performance of ... -
AN INVESTIGATION OF COLLISIONS AND INJURY SEVERITY LEVELS IN NOVA SCOTIA
(2014-10-14)The social and economic burden imposed on society by road collisions is a major issue in Nova Scotia and across jurisdictions. In Nova Scotia, road safety related injuries are the greatest contributor to the economic and ... -
An investigation of differences in sentiment from tweets related to COVID-19 between Canada and US residents
(University of North Texas Digital Library, 2020-12-05)Goal: This study aims to understand how individuals communicated and acknowledged to COVID-19 pandemic on Twitter. It mainly focused on identifying and demonstrating the differences in the perspective of United States and ... -
Investigation of Disinfection By-Product Formation Potential Test Methodologies in Drinking Water Systems
(2015-04-06)Natural organic matter (NOM) is present in all surface waters and is a major issue in drinking water treatment plants. If introduced into the distribution system, NOM will react with chlorine to form harmful disinfection ... -
AN INVESTIGATION OF ELECTROMYOGRAPHIC ACTIVITY DIFFERENCES IN PARTICIPANTS RECOVERED FROM A LOW BACK INJURY
(2017-12-14)Introduction: The purpose of this analysis was to investigate for differences in EMG activity between a recovered LBI military and non-military population during a standardized functional task. Methods: A secondary analysis ... -
An Investigation of Event-Related Brain Potentials Evoked by Feedback During Prism Adaptation
(2015)Prism adaptation (PA) demonstrates how the brain can adapt to a shifted visual field and also serves as a promising rehabilitation approach for treating visuo-spatial neglect (VSN) – a condition marked by deficits in ... -
INVESTIGATION OF FACTORS AFFECTING COLLISION CVD ESTIMATION AND THE IMPACT OF DECOMPOSITION ERRORS ON THE EMG SIGNAL COHERENCE
(2010-10-18)Experimental measurements are never perfect, even with sophisticated modern instruments. One of the fundamental problems in signal measurement is distinguishing the noise from the signal. Sometimes the two can be partly ... -
Investigation of factors affecting crystallization of cyclopentane clathrate hydrate
(2008-11)We report the results of systematic investigations of the influence of thermal history and other factors on crystallization of a model clathrate hydrate (cyclopentane hydrate) studied as water-in-oil and oil-in-water ... -
AN INVESTIGATION OF FUNCTIONAL MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING ACTIVATION IN WHITE MATTER AT 4 TESLA
(2012-07-25)Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a non-invasive technique that allows for visualization of active brain regions. Although white matter (WM) constitutes approximately 50% of brain tissue, fMRI activation ... -
Investigation of Grinding Wheel Wear Using a White Chromatic Sensor
(2015)This thesis involves the measuring of grinding wheel wear using an improved grinding wheel scanner. The positional resolution of the scanner has been improved from 26.5 μm to 0.65 μm with the addition of a second encoder. ... -
Investigation of Immunotoxicity of Copper-based Nanoparticles Using an In Vitro Inhalation Model
(2020-09-01)With a wide range of applications for nanotechnology, there is an increasing risk of nanoparticles (NPs) exposure for workers and the public. While many studies have evaluated the cytotoxicity of copper (Cu) NPs, this ... -
Investigation of Increased Wall Stiffness on Load Effect Equations for Soil Metal Structures
(2015)The soil-steel bridge industry is expanding into new markets and more demanding applications. In the past, shallow corrugated plates (51mm by 152 mm) were replaced with deep corrugated plates (140 mm by 381 mm) to allow ... -
INVESTIGATION OF INHIBITION, FILAMENT FORMATION, AND INTER-DOMAIN AMMONIA CHANNELLING OF CTP SYNTHASE
(2019-11-28)Cytidine-5′-triphosphate (CTP) synthase (CTPS) catalyzes the biosynthesis of CTP from UTP using either L-glutamine or free NH3 as a substrate. Glutamine is hydrolyzed in the glutamine amidotransferase (GATase) domain, ... -
INVESTIGATION OF LiMn0.8Fe0.2PO4 FOR Li ION CELLS
(2024-04-12)LiMnxFe1-xPO4 (LMFP) is a promising material for Li+ ion batteries. It is inexpensive and has higher energy density than LiFePO4 (LFP), making it a candidate for the next generation of Li+ ion batteries for electric ... -
Investigation of marginal explosibility of organic dusts in the 20-L and 1-m3 explosion chambers
(2018-08-20)Experimental research has been conducted to investigate the explosibility behaviour of the so-called marginally explosible dusts, using well-calibrated standard apparatus and ASTM standard procedures. These dusts have been ... -
An Investigation of Methods to Enhance Stratification in Solar Domestic Hot Water Tanks.
(2011-04-08)Solar domestic hot water (SDHW) systems collect energy with a solar collector, transfer the energy to the water through a heat exchanger, and store it in a storage tank. The water in the tank should be thermally stratified ... -
Investigation of Molecular Mechanisms Involved in Developmentally Regulated Programmed Cell Death in the Lace Plant (Aponogeton madagascariensis)
(2015)Programmed cell death (PCD) is essential for the development and survival of eukaryotes. PCD is well understood in animals and relatively less is known in plants. PCD occurs throughout a plant’s life cycle, from the ... -
