CONTRIBUTION OF CCR4 AND CXCR3 IN THE MIGRATION OF T CELLS TO INFLAMMATORY SITES IN THE SKIN, JOINTS AND LYMPH NODES
(2014-12-04)Chemokine receptors, CCR4 and CXCR3, found on T cells, are implicated in the inflammatory response in the skin, joint and lymph nodes (LNs), but whether they mediate T cell recruitment is unclear. Therefore, I examined ... -
THE CONTRIBUTION OF K+ ION CHANNELS AND THE Ca2+-PERMEABLE TRPM8 CHANNEL TO BREAST CANCER CELL PROLIFERATION.
(2010-11-24)Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer type among Canadian women. Breast cancers originate from the malignant transformation of mammary epithelial cells, which causes them to adopt an uncontrolled cell proliferation ... -
THE CONTRIBUTION OF MATERNAL EDUCATION TO CHILD HEALTH
(2022-09-06)Using data from the Demographic and Health Surveys for Nigeria, we re-examine the intergenerational effect of maternal education on the child health measures: height-for-age, weight-for-age, and weight-for-height. The ... -
The Contribution of Mechanical Effects to Ventricular Arrhythmias during Acute Regional Ischemia
(2015)Arrhythmias during acute regional ischemia can cause sudden cardiac death. Our goal was to investigate the mechanical contribution to ventricular arrhythmias in this setting. Experiments were conducted in Langendorff-perfused ... -
Contribution of Na(v) channels to the development and function of the retina
(2017-08-31)Voltage gated (Nav) channel isoforms are precisely located in the nervous system and expressed sequentially during development. Because Nav channels control the rising phase of action potentials isoform differences may ... -
Contribution of parental behaviour to pain-related disability, pain behaviour and symptom reporting in children.
(Dalhousie University, 1999) -
THE CONTRIBUTION OF REGION-SPECIFIC SHOCKS TO AGGREGATE FLUCTUATIONS: EVIDENCE FROM THE LOCAL HOUSING MARKETS IN CANADA
(2011-09-06)This thesis investigates the contribution of productivity shocks at different aggregation levels to residential investment and relative house prices in ten local housing markets in Canada from 1986 to 2007. It has two ... -
CONTRIBUTION OF THE VOLTAGE-GATED SODIUM CHANNEL NAV1.6 AND TOLL LIKE RECEPTOR 2 IN THE PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF EAE
(2021-05-05)Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, inflammatory, demyelinating, and neurodegenerative disorder of the central nervous system (CNS) with the highest worldwide prevalence existing in Canada and affecting over 3000 Nova ... -
A contribution to the petrology of the Great Dyke of Nova Scotia
(1966)A large steeply dipping, quartz-diabase dyke, over 170 miles long and up to 600 feet wide, cuts Paleozoic rocks in southwestern Nova Scotia. The main minerals are labradorite, pyroxene, quartz: alkali-feldspar and accessory ... -
CONTRIBUTION TO THE STUDY OF CYANOBACTERIAL HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOMS (CYANOHAB) BASED ON THE THRESHOLD INDEX FOR FRESHWATER LAKES
(2019-08-27)The worldwide phenomenon Cyanobacterial Harmful Algal Blooms (cyanoHAB) occurs with a worrisome frequency in Atlantic Canada in summer-fall periods, especially in Nova Scotia (NS) and Moncton waterbodies (NB). This work ... -
Contributions Of DNA Sequence Elements, Plasmid-Encoded Proteins And Host Proteins To Maintenance Of The Yeast 2-Micron Plasmid
(2016-09-12)The 2-micron plasmid is found at high copy in the nuclei of most strains of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Despite conferring no selective advantage to its host, the plasmid is able to persist due to mechanisms ... -
Contributions of GABA to reorganization in raccoon primary somatosensory cortex.
(Dalhousie University, 2000) -
CONTRIBUTIONS OF GENETICALLY DEFINED INTERNEURON SUBTYPES TO CONTRAST CODING IN MOUSE PRIMARY VISUAL CORTEX
(2020-01-31)In the past decade the mouse primary visual cortex (V1) has become a popular brain region for investigating how neural circuits process information, largely because of the genetic tools available in this animal model. One ... -
Contributions to nonlinear analysis.

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE HYDRAULICS OF FLOW-THROUGH ROCKFILL STRUCTURES
(2013-10-21)Non-overflow flow-through rockfill structures are river engineering elements used to attenuate and delay inflow hydrographs. They represent expedient places to deposit rather enormous quantities of waste rock at mountainous ... -
CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE STUDY OF SPRAYING OPERATIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE
(2019-08-29)The global agriculture sector faces many challenges in its mission to meet the growing demand for food and fiber. Climate change, increasing population growth, emergence of crop diseases, damages to crops from rodents and ... -
CONTRIBUTIONS TOWARDS SOLVING THE PARALLEL MACHINE SCHEDULING PROBLEM WITH NON-AVAILABILITY PERIODS
(2021-08-30)An abundance of research exists studying parallel machine scheduling, but only a portion of this research has focused on the case with non-availability periods and job resumability factors. Research considering this case ... -
CONTROL OF STRESS RESPONSES BY VIRAL AND CELLULAR BASIC LEUCINE ZIPPER TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS
(2022-08-16)Glycoproteins are processed through the secretory pathway and require folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). When unfolded proteins accumulate in the ER, the sensor protein ATF6 is activated, translocated to the Golgi, ...
