Rapid and scalable manufacturing of cadmium telluride nanowires for enhanced photoelectrochemical hydrogen production

Adesanoye, Samuel Abayomi

Building upon this high-throughput platform, we next engineered a compositionally tunable CdSexTe(1–x) nanowire bottom layer using a voltage-programmed co-deposition strategy. This allowed continuous modulation of the Se:Te ratio by controlling the deposition potential in a single electrolyte bath. By integrating this...

From contact to contagion: Investigating plausible transmission pathways of exudative cloacitis in kākāpō (Strigops habroptilus) on Whenua Hou/Codfish Island

Elley, Thor

Emerging wildlife diseases threaten recovery of endangered species, especially in small, insular populations where intensive management alters behaviour and contact frequencies, reshaping opportunities for transmission. Introduced species add risk when novel pathogens reach native fauna via direct contact, shared resou...

Electronic structure and charge-transfer dynamics in donor-acceptor dyes and heteroleptic metal complexes

Sohail, Amir

Designing photoactive molecules with tailored photophysical properties, particularly charge-transfer (CT) behaviour and excited-state dynamics, is essential for the advancement of a wide range of applications. This thesis investigates the excited-state dynamics of organic donor–acceptor systems and metal compounds exhi...

Cultivating citriculture

Rubalcava, Kacie

This dissertation explores the connection between the historical citrus industry and the identity formation of Southern California through the symbolism of the orange, with a specific focus on women within this dynamic. The citrus industry, which peaked between 1910-1955, leveraged an existing mythical ideology known a...

The precipitating circumstances of adult suicide deaths

Sursely, Amanda M

Results: Using LCA we identified six classes of crises, including (1) co-occurring substance use, alcohol, relationship, and eviction (2) physical health (3) “other” (4) criminal legal (5) co-occurring job, financial, and intimate partner, and (6) intimate partner crises. Qualitative analysis revealed that each of thes...

Understanding suicidal ideation in schizotypy: the role of anticipatory pleasure and demotivating beliefs

Salzano, Rebecca Jane Roberts

Schizotypy, a set of dispositional traits indicating subclinical risk for schizophrenia, is a key predictor of suicidal ideation. This thesis explores the role of anticipatory pleasure—the expectation of future enjoyment—as a key explanatory factor in the relationship between schizotypy and suicidal ideation across fou...

The association between material constraints and religious cognitions

Kaur, Navdeep

Despite growing interest in the role of ritual, symbolism, and culture in religious belief, the influence of material forms on religious cognition has received comparatively little attention. This dissertation develops a material-centred account of religious cognition, proposing that physical objects, architectural for...

Microencapsulation formulation strategies to control the release and improve the solubility of small-molecules targeting chronic diseases

Nakhla, David Shehata Fouad Georgy

In the first part of this work, we propose a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) as a novel, non-opioid alternative for the treatment of chronic musculoskeletal pain (fibromyalgia). Our preclinical experiments have shown that the daily subcutaneous administration of SARM is effective in alleviating muscle hype...

A study of interfacial molecular interactions and surface behavior by electrochemistry, spectroscopy, and surface characterization techniques

Ordikhani Seyedlar, Ramin

Interfacial chemistry and surface chemistry study chemical interactions and phenomena occurring at the interfaces or surfaces of materials. A material's surface is the region that separates its bulk from its surroundings. An interfacial region is the boundary or region between two different kinds of materials or phases...
