    Name(s): Creator (cre): Seneviratne, Dev, Thesis advisor (ths): Martic, Sanela, Thesis advisor (ths): Emery, Neil, Degree committee member (dgc): Oleschuk, Richard, Degree committee member (dgc): Moorthy, Arun, Degree committee member (dgc): Burr, Wesley, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
    Abstract: <p>Amyloid fibrils are fibrous protein aggregates that arise from misfolding and self-assembly processes, collectively referred to as amyloidosis. These aggregates are strongly associated with incurable neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Elevated levels of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and… more

    Dissolved organic matter composition as a driver of greenhouse gas emissions in lakes

    Name(s): Creator (cre): Lau, Vincent, Thesis advisor (ths): Tanentzap, Andrew, Degree committee member (dgc): Emilson, Erik, Degree committee member (dgc): Stock, Naomi, Degree committee member (dgc): Moorthy, Arun, Degree committee member (dgc): Braga, Lucas, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
    Abstract: <p>Climate-driven permafrost thaw releases microorganisms and dissolved organic matter (DOM) into northern lakes, where their interactions with microbial communities and seasonal processes shape greenhouse gas emissions. In a factorial experiment mixing DOM and microbes from thermokarst ponds and lakes, we found that both DOM and microbial identity strongly influenced degradation. Lake… more
