Title Whose Classroom Is It? Unpacking Power and Privilege in University Women’s Studies Classroom Spaces

Excerpt Women’s Studies students’ accounts of their experiences academically, emotionally and politically in feminist university classrooms will be investigated in this thesis. Central to my work, through an anti-racist feminist and intersectional analysis, is to demonstrate the way in which Women’s Studies university classroom spaces are neither ‘innocent’ nor are they devoid of racism/white supremacy as […]

Title Coagulation Optimization to Minimize and Predict the Formation of Disinfection By-products

Excerpt The formation of disinfection by-products (DBPs) in drinking water has become an issue of greater concern in recent years. Bench-scale jar tests were conducted on a surface water to evaluate the impact of enhanced coagulation on the removal of organic DBP precursors and the formation of trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs). The results of […]

Title Determining the Constitutionality of the National Securities Regulator Proposal and Beyond: The Federal Trade and Commerce Power, the General Motors test and the Choice Between ‘Categorization’ and ‘Balancing’

Excerpt In addition to demonstrating the judiciary’s role in constitutional adjudication and an application of the federal trade and commerce power, judicial determination of Parliament’s constitutional jurisdiction to enact securities legislation is noteworthy also due to the vast policy debates that are involved. Though such determinations routinely invite a process removed from the contemplation of desirable […]

Title Catalytic Gasification of Pretreated Activated Sludge Supernatant in Near-critical Water

Excerpt Pretreatment of waste activated sludge (WAS) and the subsequent near-critical water gasification (NCWG) is a potential avenue to convert WAS into value added products. Part one of the research investigated thermal and thermochemical pretreatments. No difference was observed in the percentage of sludge liquefied beyond 10min between 200°C to 300°C. It was found that pretreated […]

Title A Framework for Aerostructural Analysis of Wind Turbine Blades

Excerpt As international growth in wind energy steadily increases and the world gradually moves away from fossil fuels, advanced computational tools are required to produce accurate and fast predictions in wind turbine performance, and to allow efficient design cycles using advanced materials and manufacturing methods. Currently, aerostructural analysis often employs the relatively fast but inaccurate Blade […]

Title Hypothalamic AMP-activated Protein Kinase Regulates Glucose Production

Excerpt Hypothalamic AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) regulates energy homeostasis in response to nutritional and hormonal signals. However, its role in glucose production regulation remains to be elucidated. Here, we tested the hypothesis that bidirectional changes in hypothalamic AMPK activity alter glucose production in rodents. First, we found that knocking down hypothalamic AMPK activity in an in […]

Title Experimental and Kinetic Modeling Study of 1-hexanol Combustion in an Opposed-flow Diffusion Flame

Excerpt Biofuels are of particular interest as they have the potential to reduce our dependence on petroleum-derived fuels for transportation. 1-Hexanol is a promising renewable long chain alcohol that can be used in conventional fuel blends or as a cosolvent for biodiesel mixtures. However, the fundamental combustion properties of 1-hexanol have not been fully characterized in […]
