This thesis is part of an ongoing collaborative research project focused on the development of microstructured enzymatic fuel cells. Both enzymatic fuel cells and co-laminar fuel cells are, more generally, varieties of ...

Superhydrophobic coatings attract significant attention regarding a variety of applications, such as in friction drag reduction, anti-contamination surfaces, and recently metals corrosion protection. Superhydrophobic ...

Metallic nanoparticles (MNPs), especially those made of gold, silver, and copper, are of great importance in many scientific disciplines. The free electrons inside the MNPs can respond collectively to applied electromagnetic ...

A \emph{simple} $n$-\emph{Venn diagram} is a collection of $n$ simple intersecting closed curves in the plane where exactly two curves meet at any intersection point; the curves divide the plane into $2^n$ distinct open ...

Continuous evolution is a key trait of software-intensive systems. Many research projects investigate mechanisms to adapt software systems effectively in order to ease evolution. By observing its internal state and ...

Evidence suggests that the variability in recruitment of adult Pacific salmon is related to smolt survival during the first ocean year. Specifically, the first few weeks and first marine winter may be two critical periods ...

This research included male adolescents living on the U.S./Mexico border and the possible effects of a LD and racial and ethnic identification on support seeking behaviour within a bioecological framework. A sample of 34 ...

An empirical exploration of factors that facilitate priming in young children was undertaken utilizing sequentially degraded pictures (fragpix) developed by Snodgrass and her colleagues. The identification of fragmented ...

We have determined luminosity functions, surface density distributions and color distributions for galaxies in eight clusters of galaxies at moderate redshift (z ~ 0.02) observed at the CFHT. 1) In the inner 2' of four ...
