Quantifying the Impact of Media Supplementation on Cell Growth and Product Yield in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) Cells
(2020-08-28)The optimization of cell growth and productivity is a major concern in the production of recombinant proteins in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell cultures. Despite the frequency of media optimization in literature, there ... -
Quantifying the Impacts of Nova Scotia Forest Management Practices on Forest Stand Albedo and Surface Temperatures
(2024-04)In an effort to mitigate climate change, the Canadian government has increased focus on natural carbon sequestration through afforestation (i.e., the planting of forests where there were previously no forests) and reforestation ... -
Quantifying the patterns of functional connectivity within the brain during imagined and overt movement of a functional task in non-disabled systems
(2014-08-21)This project was aimed at quantifying functional connectivity within the brain during motor imagery (MI) and the actual performance of a motor task, and comparing these networks using graph theory. Fifteen participants ... -
QUANTIFYING THE SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL VARIATION OF THE AIR QUALITY HEALTH INDEX IN HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA
(2012-04-03)The AQHI, currently used by the Canadian government, is a multi-pollutant public health information tool that is based upon extensive Canadian epidemiological evidence. As the AQHI is a relatively new metric, there is ... -
Quantifying the Spatiotemporal PM2.5, Black Carbon, and Ultrafine Particle Concentrations Aboard Public Buses in Brazil: A Comparison of Three Cities
(2018-03-26)The transportation environment contributes disproportionately to air pollution exposure, despite the short amount of time spent in this microenvironment. Elevated concentrations of air pollution within bus passenger cabins ... -
Quantifying the temporal and spatial variation of atmospheric particles on Dalhousie Campus – a pilot study
(2009-04)Outdoor air pollution is a broad and complicated issue that poses a real threat to human health and the environment. Past research demonstrates a link between urban air pollution and increased rates of mortality and morbidity ... -
Quantifying Transport of Aquaculture Particulate Wastes
(2019-04-08)Scientific understanding of aquaculture interactions with the environment is limited, especially with regard to the far-field transport and possible impacts of particulate wastes. Both modelling and field studies have ... -
A Quantitative Analysis of Deglaciation as a Possible Earthquake Mechanism in Canada.
(1985-04-15)With the exception of earthquakes occurring along the Pacific coast, earthquakes in Canada cannot be explained by plate tectonic theory. Deglaciation has been proposed as a possible cause of non-tectonic Canadian ... -
QUANTITATIVE APPROACHES FOR THE ANALYSIS OF MORTALITY IN MARINE FISH POPULATIONS
(2018-02-20)Fisheries science has historically focused on recruitment variability and fishery landings as key drivers of dynamics in populations exposed to fishing. However, comprehending the persistence of these populations and ... -
QUANTITATIVE AQUATIC TOXICITY MEASURES OF PHARMACEUTICALS AND PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS (PPCPs) AND THEIR SUBLETHAL AND LETHAL EFFECTS IN AQUATIC ORGANISMS
(2020-08-28)Little is known about sublethal and lethal effects of exposures of PPCPs, individually or synergistically, on specific aquatic organisms. To understand the toxic implications of PPCPs on aquatic organisms, a literature ... -
Quantitative Determination of Carbon Dioxide Content in Organic Electrolytes by Infrared Spectroscopy
(The Electrochemical Society, 2019-07-09)CO2 has been shown to be an effective additive to improve the cycling characteristics of silicon negative electrodes for Li-ion batteries. However, a quantitative technique for measuring the CO2 content in electrolyte is ... -
Quantitative electron delocalization in solids from maximally localized Wannier functions

QUANTITATIVE EVALUATION OF THE PERFORMANCE OF AUTOGENIC DRAINAGE IN HEALTHY ADOLESCENTS
(2020-09-11)INTRODUCTION: Autogenic drainage (AD) is a breathing pattern comprised of 3 phases of tidal volume (Vt) breathing distinguished by low, mid, and high end-expiratory lung volumes (EELV). AD increases FVC and clears clinically ... -
Quantitative fatty acid signature analysis: A new method of estimating predator diets
(2004-05)Accurate estimates of the diets of predators are required in many areas of ecology, but for many species current methods are imprecise, limited to the last meal, and often biased. The diversity of fatty acids and their ... -
