Name(s): Creator (cre): Perera, Ushettige Imesha Dimuthuni, Thesis advisor (ths): Thompson, Karen A, Thesis advisor (ths): Emery, Neil, Degree committee member (dgc): Kisiala, Anna, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>In Ontario, the dominant cash crop rotations consist of soybean (SB), which is a leguminous crop grown in rotation with maize (MZ) and winter wheat (WW). In addition to these crops, some farmers integrate cover crops (CC) into crop rotation, especially during the fallow period and winter seasons, to reduce nitrogen (N) losses via nitrate (NO3-) leaching and emission of N2 and the… more

Metabolite profiling of sweet aloes (Euphorbia neriifolia) and potential roles in traditional asthma therapy

Abstract: <p>Heated leaf extracts of Euphorbia neriifolia (sweet aloes) are used traditionally in Guyana for asthma therapy, but the phytoconstituents have not been studied and phytohormones are generally unexplored in Euphorbia species. Phytoconstituents in asthma-effective traditional heated extracts were analyzed and compared with unheated leaves and latex extracts as screens to identify candidate… more

Electrochemical and Surface Analysis of Metal Ions and TDP-43 Protein Interactions

Abstract: <p>Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive loss in function of motor neurons. Elevated levels of biologically important metal ions, such as copper (II) (Cu(II)), zinc (II) (Zn(II)) or iron (III) (Fe(III)), may contribute to the disease. Moreover, Cu(II) interactions with other proteins associated with ALS have been investigated;… more
