Investigating Microbial Nitrogen Cycling in the Northwest Arm, Halifax Harbour and in Wastewater Treatment Facilities Using Natural Abundance Stable Isotopes in Nitrate, Nitrite, and Ammonium.
(2023-12-06)Using a 3-year time series of concentrations of nitrate, nitrite and ammonium and natural abundance stable isotopes in nitrate, this project identifies seasonal trends and major sources of fixed nitrogen to the Northwest ... -
INVESTIGATING MOTOR INHIBITION IN MOTOR IMAGERY
(2017-09-01)Motor leaning can be achieved via motor execution and motor imagery (MI), where the difference is the lack of overt movement in MI. Many theories exist as to the timing and source of this motor inhibition, however no one ... -
INVESTIGATING OFF-RESONANCE FAT MODULATIONS IN THE TURBOSPI SIGNAL TO IMPROVE R2* MAPPING FOR QUANTITATIVE CELL TRACKING
(2017-12-15)Immune cells can be labelled with superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles and detected in vivo. Tracking the migration of immune cells is valuable for understanding the immunogenic response to both cancer and ... -
Investigating Performance Under Two Forms of Temporal Cueing
(2020-08-18)Temporal attention is the focusing of cognitive resources to an interval in time to prepare a response and improve perception. Recently, it has been shown that there are two independent forms of temporal attention: one ... -
Investigating pyrite genesis and relation to gold at the Lone Star Deposit, YT
(2023-04)The Klondike region of the Yukon Territory, Canada, is famous for extensive placer deposits, recovering over 20 million oz since discovery, but lacks any major defined bedrock resources. As a result of a surge in exploration ... -
INVESTIGATING RELIABILITY AS A TOOL FOR PATIENT-SPECIFIC PIPELINE SELECTION
(2017-08-21)Introduction: Functional neuroimaging plays a key role in pre-surgical planning and improving surgical outcomes. My team has developed ROCr (Receiver Operating Characteristic reliability) - a tool to assess intra-session ... -
INVESTIGATING SKILL ACQUISITION IN THE ABSENCE OF PHYSICAL PRACTICE: MOTOR IMAGERY-BASED SKILL ACQUISITION AND THE ROLE OF THE INFERIOR PARIETAL LOBULE
(2015)Motor imagery (MI), the mental rehearsal of movement, is a useful adjunct to physical practice (PP) in numerous domains and shows promise for post-stroke rehabilitation. However, it is unknown if MI alone can produce robust ... -
Investigating Skilled Reading in School-Aged Children: An EEG Study
(2018-08-14)There exist conceptual gaps between the behavioural and electrophysiological accounts of skilled reading development that limit the ability to interpret them cohesively. The goal of this study was to bridge these gaps and ... -
Investigating Sources of Elevated Lead in Drinking Water
(2013-05-29)Lead exposure poses as a risk factor for various adverse health effects including intellectual delays, reduced IQ, and behavioural problems in children, as well as cognitive decline in adults. Lead enters drinking water ... -
Investigating sources of stream chloride near Kejimkujik National Park, southwestern Nova Scotia: A chlorine stable isotope approach
(2010-09-15)Chlorine stable isotope analysis (?37Cl ) means of stream water (- 0.95 ‰, n = 22), rainwater (- 1.51 ‰, n = 12), fog water (- 1.08 ‰, n = 7) and silicate mineral bound chloride (+ 0.13 ‰, n = 3) are used in an isotope ... -
Investigating Student Perspectives on Dalhousie’s Fossil Fuel Investments
(2023-04)Global warming has been increasingly worsening over the last several decades, with fossil fuels being the leading cause of climate change. Large businesses and educational institutions still invest billions of dollars into ... -
Investigating Student Satisfaction of Food Security Services at Dalhousie University
(2023-04)This paper aims to determine the level of satisfaction Dalhousie University students associate with free food security services on campus. With food prices and the rates of food insecurity increasing, it was important for ... -
INVESTIGATING STUDENT-RUN CO-OPERATIVES IN NORTH AMERICA
(2009-04)The goal of the Dalhousie Student Food Co-op Initiative is to establish a student-run food cooperative on Dalhousie‟s Studley Campus. Currently, all food choices on Studley Campus are managed by corporate food service ... -
Investigating Sustainability Professors’ Conceptualizations of Sustainability and Sustainable Universities at Dalhousie University
(2011-04)The consumption of renewable and non-renewable resources has increased across the globe since the industrial revolution, largely due to a growing human population. This rapid expenditure of resources has several negative ... -
INVESTIGATING TARGETED DRIVER MUTATIONS AND PD-L1 EXPRESSION FOR IMPROVED THERAPY OF NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER
(2021-02-22)Most lung cancer patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage, limiting their treatment options to chemotherapy. New therapies that target driver gene mutations, are used to treat patients who have tumours with these ... -
Investigating the 13C Suess effect in the northwestern North Atlantic
(2018-10-23)The carbon isotope signature (δ13C) of atmospheric CO2 has decreased as a direct result of anthropogenic CO2 emissions since the industrial revolution. This climate phenomenon has been termed the 13C Suess effect, and can ... -
Investigating the Antioxidant Effects of a Commercial Sunflower Derived Lecithin and Phosphatidylserine
(2015)The search for natural antioxidants for use in food and nutritional supplements led to an in-depth investigation into the antioxidant effect of a commercial sunflower derived lecithin (CSL), consisting of high levels of ... -
