Comparative Genomics of Endosymbiotically-Derived Organelles in Cryptophyte Algae
(2016-01-14)The cryptophytes are an enigmatic group of unicellular algae that acquired their plastids through the process of secondary endosymbiosis, which involved the uptake and retention of a red algal endosymbiont. There are several ... -
Comparative patterns of plankton communities under different regimes of pH in Nova Scotia, Canada.
(Dalhousie University, 1985) -
Comparative Proteomics in the Absence of Tandem Mass Spectra
(2013-12-20)Mass spectrometry plays a significant role in many proteomics experiments owing to its ability to provide high quality, detailed data on complex samples containing proteins and/or their constituent peptides. As with any ... -
Comparative Proteomics: Studies on the Composition and Evolution of the Mitochondrial Proteome in Eukaryotic Microbes (Protists).
(2011-08-19)Mitochondria are eukaryotic organelles derived in evolution from within the ? subdivision of Proteobacteria. Although mitochondria are structurally and metabolically complex, modern-day mitochondrial genomes (mtDNA) encode ... -
COMPARATIVE QUANTITATIVE GENETICS OF PROTEIN STRUCTURES: A COMPOSITE APPROACH TO PROTEIN STRUCTURE EVOLUTION
(2017-02-02)Structural biology has been long concerned about the emergence of protein structures and the convergence to particular folds. It can be said that protein structures are the realization of genetic information given ... -
A Comparative Study of the Anti-Breast Cancer and Immunomodulatory Effects of [6]-, [8]-, and [10]-Gingerol
(2013-08-16)[6]-Gingerol, [8]-gingerol, and [10]-gingerol are phytochemical extracts from ginger that are thought to contribute to its health-benefitting properties. The objectives of this investigation were to explore and compare the ... -
A Comparative Study of the Environmental Impact of Online and Offline Movie Rental Businesses
(2010-04-16)The purpose of this thesis is to assess and compare the energy consumption and carbon footprints of two, online and offline, major movie rental services in Canada. The thesis is divided into two parts that represent two ... -
A comparative study of the photoreceptors of the decapod crustacean Pandalus borealis, Kryer.
(Dalhousie University, 1972) -
A comparative study of wheat mitochondrial and cytosol ribosomal RNA.
(Dalhousie University, 1977) -
COMPARING STATISTICAL METHODS FOR INFERRING CONTRIBUTIONS OF VISUAL ONLINE CONTROL FROM HUMAN LIMB TRAJECTORIES
(2018-12-03)Visual motor control involves using visual information about the limb and the target to adjust the trajectory of the limb towards the target to improve movement accuracy. The primary objective of the thesis was to demonstrate ... -
Comparing the representation learning of autoencoding transformer models in ad hoc information retrieval
(2020-12-18)Information retrieval (IR) saw a recent development in ranking models since the ad-vent of deep learning techniques. Traditionally, classical IR methods, such as BM25,assume query term independence, allowing them to ... -
Comparing transfer-learning and self-supervised learning for ocean floor image classification
(2022-12-13)Benthic habitat mapping is a process of labeling substrates, plants, and animals on the seafloor. Mapping of the benthic habitat is crucial to monitor changes happening due to natural and human-related activities. Annotation ... -
Comparing Trunk Neuromuscular Measures to a Clinical Battery of Tests in a Recovered Low Back Injured Population.
(2014-08-25)Introduction: The purpose of this study was to determine differences in trunk muscle activation patterns in recovered LBI groups classified as unstable or not. EMG from comprehensive sets of trunk muscles were compared ... -
Comparing Virtual and Center Based Cardiac Rehabilitation on Changes in Frailty
(2022-08-25)Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is the gold standard for the secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Frailty defines health in ageing and is associated with adverse health outcomes. Evidence suggests traditional ... -
Comparison of Baha and CROS Hearing Aid in Single-Sided Deafness
(2014-06-09)Nine adults with single-sided deafness previously implanted with a Baha were given a two-week trial with a CROS hearing aid and tested in unaided and aided conditions. Both devices were compared on head shadow effect ... -
A Comparison of Categorical vs. Fractional Parental Allocation Based on Microsatellite Markers to Estimate Reproductive Success and Inbreeding Levels Over Three Generations of Selective Breeding in a Closed Population of Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
(2011-12-15)The aim of this project was to assess three DNA-marker based pedigree reconstruction approaches and their associated challenges, strengths and weaknesses by conducting a retrospective analysis of a real, three generation ... -
Comparison of Different Statistical Prediction Methods for Fetal Growth Abnormalities
(2014-08-21)The decision tree method has become very popular because it can efficiently accommodate a large amount of data with a mixture of different types of variables, missing data and many irrelevant predictors. Trees also can be ... -
COMPARISON OF DIGESTION METHODS APPLIED FOR LEAD QUANTIFICATION IN DRINKING WATER SAMPLES
(2020-01-21)This study evaluated the digestion efficiency of a new rigorous digestion technique: focused shortwave infrared radiation digestion (SWIR). The increases of acid concentrations to 5% v/v and extended digestion time to 2h ... -
