Effect of a low-fat diet on body composition and blubber fatty acids of captive juvenile harp seals (Phoca groenlandica)
(2000-01)We investigated the effects of a change from a high-fat diet to a low-fat diet of differing fatty acid (FA) composition on the body composition and blubber FA of five captive juvenile harp seals. Seals that had been ... -
The effect of a weakening Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation on ocean temperatures in the Gulf of St. Lawrence over the past 150 years
(2021-04-15)Ocean circulation is essential for transporting heat, dissolved CO2, and nutrients all around the globe. The strength of the ocean circulation, therefore, has a major influence on climate and vice versa. Over time, ocean ... -
The Effect of Acidification on the Survival of American Eel
(2011-05-06)The geographic range of the panmictic American eel (Anguilla rostrata) has contracted in recent years because of the pronounced decline in recruitment of glass eels and elvers to the Laurentian Basin. In consequence, the ... -
THE EFFECT OF ACTION OBSERVATION AND MOTOR IMAGERY ON CORTICOSPINAL EXCITABILITY DURING A MOTOR-RELATED TASK IN HEALTHY ADULTS
(2020-08-31)Although action observation and motor imagery have typically been viewed as independent techniques for motor learning, research has found increased learning outcomes when action observation and motor imagery are used ... -
Effect of Adenosine Diphosphate on Dendritic Cell and T Cell Responses
(2011-12-13)Nucleotides, such as ATP and its derivatives, are released at high concentrations at sites of inflammation and modulate the immune response. When cultured in the presence of ADP or stable analogue ADP?S, DC surface expression ... -
The Effect of Azospirillum brasilense Inoculation on Metabolic Enzyme Activity in Maize Root Seedlings

The Effect of Bacterial High Temperature Protein G on Intestinal Epithelial Cells in the Context of Pediatric Crohn’s Disease
(2020-08-07)Crohn’s disease (CD), a type of inflammatory bowel disease, is caused by environmental, microbial, genetic, and immunological factors. Increased expression of specific heat shock proteins (HSPs) in CD patients protects ... -
Effect of beta-glucan and environmental factors on the physical and chemical properties of wort and beer.

Effect of Boundary Layers on Cutaneous Gas Exchange
(1990)Boundary layers may offer significant resistance to cutaneous oxygen uptake by amphibians in water. This hypothesis was tested by measuring resistance to oxygen uptake as a function of water velocity in bullfrogs submerged ... -
The effect of call similarity on call discrimination by Tree Swallow (Tachycineta bicolor) nestlings in the presence of noise
(2021-04)As the extent of noise expands with urbanization, so does the extent of its impacts on wildlife. The impact of noise is particularly strong when it comes to the disruption of avian communication. Birds rely heavily on ... -
The Effect of Campus Study Spaces on Mental Wellbeing at Dalhousie University: Does the Lack of Natural Light in the Killam Library Reduce Students Mental Wellbeing?
(2018-04)The purpose of this study is to test whether the lack of natural light in the Killam Library reduces the mental wellbeing of students during the winter season at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This study is ... -
The Effect of Chemical Fumigation and Biofumigation on the Soil Nitrogen Cycle, Soil Respiration, and the Soil Microbial Community
(2022-01-20)Chemical fumigation and biofumigation are used to reduce soil-borne diseases in potato crop production systems. However, soil fumigation may impact non-targeted soil microorganisms, consequently altering essential soil ... -
The Effect of Cognitive Skills on Aboriginal People's Employment Outcomes
(2014-08-22)This paper uses the 2012 Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (2012 PIAAC) and examines how cognitive skills affect the labour market outcomes of Aboriginal people in Canada. The results show ... -
EFFECT OF COMBINED SHEAR, BENDING AND LOW AXIAL LOAD ON BEHAVIOR OF CONCRETE BEAMS REINFORCED WITH GLASS FIBER-REINFORCED POLYMER BARS
(2021-04-29)This research's main objective was to investigate the effect of combined bending and shear behavior of the concrete beams reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars subjected to low axial load less than 10% ... -
The effect of community of discharge on length of stay for unplanned hospitalizations: An indicator of community care integration?
(2020-08-07)Objective: Adjusted hospital length of stay (LOS), widely used to benchmark hospital efficiency, does not account for community-driven variation. We estimate the extent to which community affects LOS for unplanned ... -
Effect of Coronary Ablation and Adrenergic-Stimulation on In-Vivo Cardiac-Performance in Trout (Oncorhynchus-Mykiss)
(1994-01)In fish, catecholamine-induced changes in cardiac performance in vivo are the result of complex interactions between the direct adrenergic effects on the heart and peripheral circulation and the reflex responses to increased ...
