The effect of freeze-thaw cycles on soil respiration and nitrogen dynamics as in-fluenced by soil structure, aggregate size and water content
(2020-05-14)The role of soil structure and aggregation in influencing soil respiration and N dynamics in soils undergoing freeze-thaw cycles, as influenced by water content, is poorly known. Surface soil with a texture of sandy loam ... -
The effect of germination conditions on growth of Fusarium graminearum and secretion of deoxynivalenol during floor malting of barley
(2021-08-24)The effect of CO2, temperature, and presence or absence of light on the growth of Fusarium graminearum and secretion of deoxynivalenol (DON) during micro-scale floor malting of CDC Copeland barley was evaluated. DON levels, ... -
EFFECT OF GRAPHENE COATINGS AND WATER TEMPERATURE ON MARINE BIOFOULING SYSTEMS
(2022-08-29)This work investigated two strategies for controlling marine biofouling. One method involved the use of graphene-enhanced coatings to mitigate biofilm growth. The second study assessed the influence of water temperature ... -
Effect of Green Space Exposure on the Relationship Between Socioeconomic Status and Mental Health Among Older Canadians
(2022-08-22)Green space is considered to be a health-promoting feature of both natural and built environments and has the potential to influence mental health outcomes at both an individual and population level. Green space interventions, ... -
Effect of Harvesting Time on Berry Losses During Mechanical Harvesting of Wild Blueberries
(2016-08-08)More than 90% of the total wild blueberry crop area in Canada is mechanically harvested. Only fields in rough terrain are still hand raked. Prior to this study, there were no identified protocols related to fruit maturity ... -
THE EFFECT OF HEALTHY AGING ON TRUNK NEUROMUSCULAR ACTIVATION PATTERNS DURING A CONTROLLED FUNCTIONAL TRANSFER TASK
(2013-04-08)Healthy aging is associated with an increased incidence of injuries such as low back pain and falling. Age-related changes in trunk neuromuscular activation patterns could potentially explain uncontrolled trunk motion, a ... -
Effect of High Chloride Concentrations on Cast Iron Corrosion and Water Quality in Drinking Water Distribution Systems
(2016-12-19)Chloride can be present in drinking water from various sources including treatment practices for natural organic matter (NOM) removal, saltwater intrusion, run-off from deicing salt, and use of desalinated water. The purpose ... -
The Effect of Hydrate Formation on Gas Relative Permeability in Porous Media
(2017-04-28)Variation in gas permeability in Wallace sandstone samples exposed to hydrate formation was experimentally studied. The experiments were performed in a core flooding system. The relative permeability of CO2 at residual ... -
THE EFFECT OF INSULIN ON STRESS-RESPONSE PATHWAYS IN A CELLULAR MODEL OF RAT CARDIOMYOCYTES
(2011-08-15)Insulin and cellular stressors both activate p38 MAPK. Insulin protects cardiac tissue in a p38 MAPK-dependent manner. Paradoxically, inhibiting p38 MAPK is also protective. Hsp27 phosphorylation is regulated by p38 ... -
Effect of interfacial characteristics on phase inversion.
(Dalhousie University, 1999) -
The effect of interleukin-1alpha and testicular macrophages on adult rat Leydig cell steroidogenesis in vitro.
(Dalhousie University, 1991) -
The effect of knee joint effusion on gait mechanics and muscle activation characteristics in moderate knee osteoarthritis
(2018-08-29)Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most prevalent joint diseases, and knee effusion, as a manifestation of synovitis, is associated with knee OA clinical outcomes and disease progression. Thesis objectives were i) to ... -
The Effect of Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVAD) on Pulmonary Hypertension in End-Stage Heart Failure.
(2021-06-08)Despite the increasing prevalence of advanced heart failure, transplantation rates have remained stable in Canada due to limited organ availability. Consequently, the number of implanted left ventricular assist devices ... -
The effect of limb movements on the orienting of attention after right hemisphere stroke.

Effect of Maxillomandibular Advancement Surgery on Blood Pressure in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Pilot Study
(2013-03-22)There is evidence that non-surgical treatment of OSA improves blood pressure (BP) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The objective of this study is to determine the effect of maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) ... -
Effect of microwave irradiation on the aspect ratio of treated mica
(2008)Muscovite mica is a plate-like mineral composed of potassium and aluminum silicate. The mica morphology, characterised by aspect ratio, allows this mineral to be used as structural filler in plastics, adding rigidity and ... -
Effect of Moderate Diet Restriction on Body Condition, Health, and Reproductive Performance in Female Mink (Neovison vison)
(2012-09-04)Selection for large body size can result in the development of obesity, which in mink females is associated with poor reproduction and metabolic diseases. Caloric restriction is effective in diminishing oxidative stress ... -
EFFECT OF MOLECULAR WEIGHT, CHARGE AND HYDROPHOBICITY OF WHEY PEPTIDES ON ENCAPSULATION EFFICIENCY AND SURFACE PROPERTIES OF SOY LECITHIN-DERIVED NANOLIPOSOMES
(2017-06-01)Encapsulation of peptides has been explored to enhance their stability, but there is a paucity of information on effects of peptide structural properties on encapsulation. Impact of the molecular properties, including ... -
The Effect of Nest Acoustics on the Begging Calls of Nestling Tree Swallows
(2010-12-15)Animals’ long-distance acoustic signal structure minimizes habitat-specific attenuation and distortion, but it is unknown how environmental acoustics shape the signals of dependent young, or short-range signals generally. ... -
