Year: 2016, 2016
Member of: Trent University Graduate Thesis Collection
Name(s): Creator (cre): Kishun, Vishol, Thesis advisor (ths): Narine, Suresh, Thesis advisor (ths): Wallschläger, Dirk, Degree committee member (dgc): Evans, Doug, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>The cyanidation technique is currently a viable technique for gold recovery that can replace the present amalgamation technique in Guyana. To implement this technique effectively, laboratory scale experiments and at scale runs were conducted to determine the best particle size of the ore, cyanide concentration, and leaching time. In addition, the profitability of cyanidation was compared… more

Name(s): Creator (cre): Nguyen, Thien Quoc, Thesis advisor (ths): Emery, Neil, Thesis advisor (ths): Narine, Suresh, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>The activities of phytohormones during the reproductive phase have been partially clarified in seed physiology while the biological role of plant hormones in oil accumulation during seed development has been investigated in part only. In this research, fatty acid (FA) contents and hormone profiles, including abscisic acid (ABA) and cytokinins (CKs) of seed samples in four different… more

Name(s): Creator (cre): Ramphal, Kira Elizabeth, Thesis advisor (ths): Emery, Neil, Thesis advisor (ths): Narine, Suresh, Degree committee member (dgc): Sager, Eric, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Based on an endogenous hormone study, three cytokinin type phytohormones; benzyladenine (BA), trans-zeatin (tZ) and methylthiol trans-zeatin (MeSZ), as well as abscisic acid (ABA) were exogenously added at three concentrations (10-7, 10-6 and 10-5 M) to cultures of Chlorella vulgaris in an attempt to alter growth rate, total lipid and fatty acid yields and fatty acid profile. Growth… more

Name(s): Creator (cre): Persaud, Avinaash Antonio, Thesis advisor (ths): Narine, Suresh, Degree committee member (dgc): Rafferty, Steven, Degree committee member (dgc): Metcalfe, Chris, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>The epoxides of oligomeric self-metathesized soybean oil (MSBO) and cross-metathesized palm oil (PMTAG) and canola oil (CMTAG) containing terminal double bonds were used to produce nonisocyanate polyurethanes (NIPUs) as well as anhydride, amine and thiol-cured epoxies. </p><p>The synthesized NIPUs displayed metal adhesive properties for CMTAG and MSBO with MSBO being favoured… more
