Rhodium and Iridium Pincer Complexes Supported by Bis(phosphino)silyl Ligation: Applications in Bond Cleavage Chemistry
(2013-06-26)
Group 9 transition metal pincer complexes have shown tremendous utility in a variety of E-H (E = main group element) bond activation reactions. In an effort to access new types of highly reactive pincer-like transition ...
Improving Precision and Accuracy in Coulombic Efficiency Measurements of Lithium Ion Batteries
(2013-01-04)
Lithium-ion batteries have been used extensively over the past two decades in the
portable consumer electronics industry. More recently, Li-ion batteries have become
candidates for much larger-scale applications such as ...
A Communication Framework for Improving Awareness of Combustible Dust Hazards
(2015-04-17)
The hazards associated with combustible dusts are not universally well known, particularly when compared to a somewhat similar hazard, flammable gas. The primary resources currently used in communication about dust explosions ...
Go Teams! A Situational Analysis of Interdisciplinary Primary Care Teams in Ontario
(2014-10-01)
Arguably, no reform in health care in the past decade has generated as much attention,
idealism, and optimism as the movement toward interdisciplinary teams. Since the early
2000s, the Canadian federal government has ...
Interactions of corrosion control and biofilm on lead and copper in premise plumbing
(2013-12-17)
Premise plumbing can contain copper and lead bearing fixtures, and although copper is considered primarily an aesthetic issue, the neurotoxic effects of lead present a significant public health concern. Utilities approach ...
An Astonishing Symphony of Voices: Birdsong in the Poetry of Don McKay
(2011-09-06)
Numerous scholars have observed that Don McKay’s poetry is profoundly musical and particularly attentive to the sounds of birds. However, it has not been examined how musicology can illuminate McKay’s use of birdsong. This ...
An Investigation on Graph Polynomials
The chromatic polynomial of a graph 𝐺, denoted π (𝐺, 𝑥), is the polynomial whose evaluations at positive integers 𝑥 count the number of (proper) 𝑥-colourings of 𝐺. This polynomial was introduced by Birkhoff in 1912 ...
DEVELOPMENT OF A METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS ASSOCIATED WITH BEER AGING
(2015-04-06)
A method for the extraction, identification and quantification of eleven specific volatile organic compounds (VOCs) associated with off-flavours and off-odours in two different types of beers were developed. For this ...
A Study of the Chemical Interactions at the Interface Between Polymeric Powder/Fibre and White Cement
(2011-12-06)
Concrete, due to its low cost, durability and fire resistance, is one of the world’s most
widely used construction materials. Concrete is typically reinforced with steel bars
and welded wire mesh. Since the cost of steel ...
Regenerative Air Energy Storage for Renewable Energy Integration: System Modeling and Optimization
(2014-04-04)
As energy systems shift away from fossil-fuel based electricity, the non-dispatchability of renewable energy converters (REC) continue to stress the grid infrastructure and conventional thermal generating units. These ...
