(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2023-04-20)Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a deadly disease wherein the coronary arteries become blocked, causing irreversible death to myocardial wall tissue which can result in heart failure. Current clinical methods lack the ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2013)This project focuses on the development of a portable DNA-aptamer based biosensor, which is referred to as an aptasensor, that would aid in the diagnosis of the highly contagious disease tuberculosis. An important aspect ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2017)Recently, the demand for new diagnostic techniques for detecting disease biomarkers at the patient point-of-care (POC) has increased. This project focuses on our recent progress towards a fabric-based plasmonic sensor which ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2014)Currently, there is a growing demand for continuous monitoring of human disease and the development of analytical techniques capable of reliably detecting and diagnosing various illnesses. The objective of this project was ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2015)An aptasensor is a biosensor that makes use of aptamers as a recognition element to detect target analytes. Aptamers are sequences of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) or RNA that can selectively bind to a wide range of target ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2022-04-27)Early diagnosis of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is challenging. Its prevalence rate in Canada is 9.2%. Experiencing stress for a sustained period can lead to a prolonged release of cortisol that causes negative ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2022-04-20)A common cardiovascular disease is acute myocardial infarction (AMI), which is characterized as an ischemic event within the myocardium that results in irreparable damage to the heart. Unfortunately, current clinical ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2014)Electrochemical surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (EC-SERS) is a vibrational spectroscopic method involving detection of a target molecule at a metal nanostructured surface to which a potential has been applied. EC-SERS ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2018)The lack of efficiency of current methods for bacterial screening has prompted an increasing interest in developing a cost-effective, rapid and sensitive alternative for applications in all sectors of society. This project ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2016)Plasmonic nanostructures that are uniform in size and shape are highly desirable for many applications, including plasmon-enhanced solar cells and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensing. Unfortunately, such ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2016)The development of forensic photography techniques can aid agencies in the documentation of information regarding crime scene cleanup. This study compared reflective infrared, reflective ultraviolet, and fluorescence ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2014)In recent years, the classification of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) as a pore-forming disease has been a highly debated topic. It has been postulated that aggregated species, such as amyloid beta (Aβ), derived from a transmembrane ...
-
(IOP Publishing LimitedThe Electrochemical Society, 2017-02-11)The field of plasmonics has experienced rapid growth over the past decade with a host of emerging applications including single molecule sensing and plasmon-assisted catalysis. The vast majority of these applications use ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2019)Multidimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) provides better resolving and separation power than conventional high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and over the past decade has increasingly been applied in many ...
-
Exploration of surface plasmon-assisted catalysis (SPAC) as a new route for heterogeneous catalysis (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2017)Plasmonics is the study of the interactions between the free electrons of a metal, and the electric field component of light. In the presence of the oscillating electronic field, the free electrons in the metal oscillate ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2021)The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted supply chain issues for personal protective equipment (PPE) in Canada. In addition, many PPE products are produced from non-renewable feedstocks. Wood pulp is an abundant and renewable ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2019)Plasmonics is the field of research which explores the unique optical and electronic effects observed when certain nanoscale metals interact with light. Plasmonic nanostructures that are uniform in size and shape are highly ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : (Saint Mary's University), 2021)Replication of a procedure to electrodeposit MoS2 required use of an uncharacterized crude MoO3 and ethylene glycol reaction mixture as a molybdenum precursor. Multiple attempts to replicate the desired ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2020)The identification of natural organic pigments is fundamental for the conservation, preservation, and historical interpretation of artwork. Natural pigments, derived from plant and insect sources, can experience fading and ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2017)Understanding the surface plasmon resonance properties of gold nanorods (AuNRs) and exploring their sensitivity has attracted much attention due to the potential applications in the biomedical field; including detection ...
