One approach to address climate change is to electrochemically reduce CO2 to valuable products, but it requires suitable catalysts. In Chapter 2, solution processable alpha-position octa-substituted…

Magnetic and structural studies of sputter deposited Py(an alloys, Ni80Fe20) and [Py/Fe] thin films allowed for the characterization of their magnetization dynamics properties relevant for subsequent…

Halide perovskites have quickly emerged as most promising materials in the forefront of photovoltaic and optoelectronic devices, exhibiting superb optoelectronic properties with facile solution…

Drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is a growing threat to human health worldwide. One way to mitigate the risk of drug resistance is to enable clinicians to prescribe the right…

This thesis examines the assertion that acceptance for gay, bisexual and queer men is growing within the context of men's sports in Canada and interrogates the ways in which this acceptance is…
