Year: 2019, 2019
Member of: Trent University Graduate Thesis Collection
Name(s): Creator (cre): Roy, Tyler Mackenzie, Thesis advisor (ths): Ellis, David, Degree committee member (dgc): Metcalfe, Chris, Degree committee member (dgc): Parnis, Mark, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>In this thesis, aerosolization was studied as a possible means of water remediation for several environmentally relevant pharmaceutical pollutants, known for their persistence in wastewater effluent and potable water sources. Seven different pharmaceutical compounds and a well-known plasticizer were all shown to decrease considerably in concentration in aerosol that was produced and… more

cis-Cytokinins from the tRNA-degradation pathway impact the phenotype and metabolome of Arabidopsis thaliana: evidence from AtIPT2 and AtIPT9 null mutants

Name(s): Creator (cre): Butler, Cody Wade, Thesis advisor (ths): Emery, Neil, Degree committee member (dgc): Stock, Naomi, Degree committee member (dgc): Ellis, David, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Cis-isomers of the cytokinin plant hormone family are thought to have low activity or impact on plant growth and development. Mutants with independent silencing of the pathway leading to cis-CK (cis-cytokinin) were investigated at the phenotype and metabolite levels. Phenotypic deviations were noted in trichome development, fresh weight, rosette diameter, number of non-rosette leaves,… more

Detecting anti-estrogens and anti-androgens in surface waters impacted by municipal wastewater discharges and agricultural runoff

Name(s): Creator (cre): Corcoran, Shawna Karen Jackson, Thesis advisor (ths): Metcalfe, Chris, Degree committee member (dgc): Ellis, David, Degree committee member (dgc): Gueguen, Celine, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>This study focused on detecting 22 target anti-estrogenic and anti-androgenic compounds in surface waters influenced by both discharges of municipal wastewater and agricultural runoff in Canada and Argentina. Polar organic chemical integrative samplers (POCIS) were used to monitor the target compounds in surface waters. The removals of the target compounds in a municipal wastewater… more

Chemical characterization of dissolved organic matter in relation with hydrography in the Arctic Ocean

22256-Thumbnail Image.png

Name(s): Creator (cre): Gao, Zhiyuan, Thesis advisor (ths): Gueguen, Celine, Degree committee member (dgc): Ellis, David, Degree committee member (dgc): Lafleur, Peter, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>In this thesis, water mass distribution of dissolved organic matter (DOM) characteristics (i.e. molecular weight, fluorescent components, thiols and humic substances concentration) was observed in the Arctic Ocean. For the first time, DOM molecular weight (MW) in Beaufort Sea was assessed using asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation, as well as the first monitoring of thiols and… more
