Development of animated finger movements via a neural network for tendon tension control.
(Dalhousie University, 1999) -
DEVELOPMENT OF ANTIMICROBIAL EDIBLE FILMS USING LOBSTER SHELL-WASTE DERIVED CRUDE CHITOSAN
(2021-08-26)This thesis explored Atlantic lobster (Homarus americanus) shell-waste as a chitosan (LCh) source for developing antimicrobial edible films for food packaging applications. The study focused on improving the physicochemical ... -
The development of arbitrary power and alienation in selected works of Charles Robert Maturin.
(Dalhousie University, 1982) -
Development of Bio-based Films using Pea Protein and Haskap Leaf (Lonicera caerulea) Extracts from Aqueous Two-Phase Systems
(2021-04-23)Haskap leaves (Lonicera caerulea) are an agricultural residue from haskap plants and are expected to become more abundant as interest grows in haskap berries as a commercial crop in Canada. Although haskap berries are ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF BUTYRYLCHOLINESTERASE LIGANDS FOR THE IMAGING OF NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS
(2013-08-12)Butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) is a serine hydrolase enzyme that, along with acetylcholinesterase (AChE), catalyzes the hydrolysis of acetylcholine. These enzymes are associated with the pathology of neurologic disorders ... -
The Development of Catalysts for the Monoarylation of Ammonia and Related Challenging Cross-Coupling Reactions
(2013-11-26)The use of homogeneous organometallic catalysis for otherwise challenging chemical transformations is a concept that has gained significant interest in recent decades, providing access to a variety of useful chemical ... -
Development of complex envelope FDTD methods for electromagnetic modeling and simulation.
(Dalhousie University, 2006) -
Development of Composite State Convergence Schemes for Teleoperation Systems
(2023-08-17)State convergence belongs to a family of model-based control architectures for establishing bilateral communication between the master and slave robots in a teleoperation system. The method provides a systematic procedure ... -
Development of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Specific Nanoprobes for Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS)
(2013-08-22)Novel biocompatible nanoprobes for optical imaging of Epidermal Growth Factor receptor (EGFR) were created. 5 and 18 nm gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and 5 and 45 nm diameter silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were conjugated to ... -
Development of Equipment Failure Prognostic Model based on Logical Analysis of Data (LAD)
(2012-08-17)This research develops an equipment failure prognostics model to predict the equipment’s chance of survival, using LAD. LAD benefits from not relying on any statistical theory, which enables it to overcome the problems ... -
The Development of Exogenous Anticonvulsants and Endogenous Uracil-Based Antiepileptic Agents
(2011-09-06)Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder for which the development of new and improved therapies is essential. Thus, the central theme of this thesis pertains to the design and synthesis of putative antiepileptic drugs. ... -
Development Of High-throughput 3d Neural Cell Culture Platforms For Modelling Parkinson’s Disease
(2017-12-15)The three-dimensional (3D) culture of neural cells in Matrigel, a thermoresponsive, self-assembling, extracellular matrix hydrogel, holds promise for modelling neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease (PD). ... -
The development of iconic storage.
(Dalhousie University, 1976) -
Development of Integrated Urban System Models: Population Life-transitions, Household location, and Vehicle Transaction Decisions
(2017-12-01)This research presents the development of a life-oriented, agent-based integrated transport land use and energy (iTLE) model. A life-oriented theory and perspective is adopted to accommodate life-trajectory dynamics of key ... -
THE DEVELOPMENT OF LEGIONELLA PNEUMOPHILA REACHES DIFFERENT END POINTS IN AMOEBAE, MACROPHAGES AND CILIATES
(2014-02-25)The intracellular pathogen Legionella pneumophila thrives in both natural and man-made water habitats where it replicates inside freshwater amoebae. L. pneumophila follows a developmental cycle as it grows in amoebae. The ... -
