The House of Matter
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-19)Everything falls apart, but some materials do it with a specific panache, and once design leaves paper to be built, no project is complete until it falls. As creatures subject to time, we identify with things in which we ... -
Influence of Sulphide on the Degradation Pathways for Chlorinated Ethenes
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-22)Although iron-based permeable reactive barriers are gaining importance in the treatment of groundwater contaminants, there have been field observations indicating that sulphide may affect the degradation rates of certain ... -
Non-Precious Cathode Electrocatalytic Materials for Zinc-Air Battery
(University of Waterloo, 2013-12-23)In the past decade, rechargeable batteries attracted the attention from the researchers in search for renewable and sustainable energy sources. Up to date, lithium-ion battery is the most commercialized and has been supplying ... -
Phytoplankton dynamics in nearshore and offshore regions of the Great Lakes Erie, Malawi, Tanganyika, and Victoria
(University of Waterloo, 2008-02-22)My doctoral thesis challenges the traditional paradigm of phosphorus (P) limitation of phytoplankton communities in freshwaters by suggesting colimitation of P, nitrogen (N), and iron (Fe) in Great Lakes. Oceanographers ... -
Remediation of Pentaerythritol Tetranitrate (PETN) Contaminated Water and Soil
(University of Waterloo, 2007-11-28)Pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), a nitrate ester, is widely used as a powerful explosive and is classified as a munitions constituent of great concern by DoD in U.S.A. It is an environmental concern and poses a threat ... -
Selenate Reduction by Granular Iron and the Associated Isotope Fractionation
(University of Waterloo, 2013-11-27)Research in selenium isotopes has been gaining interest as new contaminated sites are identified around the world. Selenium is an emerging contaminant, as it is increasingly being released through anthropogenic activities. ... -
Shale heavy metal isotope records of low environmental O2 between two Archean oxidation events.
(Frontiers Media, 2022-04-26)Evidence of molecular oxygen (O₂) accumulation at Earth’s surface during the Archean (4.0–2.5 billion years ago, or Ga) seems to increase in its abundance and compelling nature toward the end of the eon, during the runup ...
