Converging evidence supports the “nonmonotonic plasticity” hypothesis, which states that although complete retrieval may strengthen memories, partial retrieval weakens them. Yet, the classic experimental paradigms…
This project was supervised by Dr. Hugh Horton from the Department of Chemistry at Queen’s University. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) have extensive applications in chemical resistance,…
The chemical compositions of uraninites from five major deposit types (tabular, unconformity, vein, metasomatic, and igneous), measured by electron microprobe and LA-ICP-MS, underline the extreme…
The Proterozoic Vazante zinc silicate district in Minas Gerais, Brazil, hosts world-class hypogene willemite deposits in dolomitic rocks interbedded with siliciclastic rocks deposited in subtidal…

Cell-surface engineering strategies that permit long-lived display of well-defined, functionally active molecules are highly attractive for eliciting desired cellular responses and for understanding biological processes.…
During cryopreservation, ice recrystallization is a major cause of cellular damage. Conventional cryoprotectants such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and glycerol function by a number of…
This project was supervised by Dr. Gabor Fichtinger from the School of Computing at Queen’s University. Nearly one quarter of newborns born with congenital heart disease…
