This course will provide an introduction and overview of the field of catalysis using heterogeneous metal/metal oxide and transition metal complexes focusing on general principles and reaction patterns of catalytically active transition metal centres, metal/metal oxide surfaces and supported metals. mechanisms: kinetic and thermodynamic parameters and how to determine them. activation of small molecules such as hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, ...

CHEM 731(0)-02 covers the physical and immunogenic aspects of plant, microbial and mammalian polysaccharides, and their application in therapeutics and vaccines. The main body of the course will be formed by in-class oral presentations and problem sets based on recent literature. Students will deliver in-depth analyses of articles describing the latest science in the fields of polysaccharide structure, biology, immunology and experimental methodology. ...

Advanced topics in toxicology will include oral presentations by students, faculty members, and guest lecturers. The emphasis will be on advanced concepts and techniques in toxicology research with particular relevance to mechanistic, molecular and interpretive toxicology. Restriction(s): Credit may be obtained for only one of TOX*6200/CHEM*731 or TOX*4200 By the end of this course, you should be able to: Critically ...

The purpose of the course is to introduce certain physical aspects of radiation chemistry, from interaction of ionizing radiation with matter to nuclear probes. The radiation chemistry has been the subject of study over a century from the time of Marie Curie and remain as an area of intense research. The discussion of the fundamental physical chemistry of radiation effects on matter provides the background for these effects and provides tools for discussion of practical applications, some of ...
