Establishing Accessory Muscle Activation in Healthy Individuals During a Graded Exercise Test
(2015)Introduction: Hyperinflation impairs diaphragm function and presumably places increased demands on accessory respiratory muscles in people with COPD. The purpose of this study was to develop a new application of ... -
Establishing Baseline Hydrologic Conditions of Forested Wetlands in Nova Scotia
(2021-04-06)In order to effectively restore altered wetland ecosystems to their natural state, it is critical to understand and identify the baseline hydrologic function of natural forested wetlands. An extensive dataset of water level ... -
Establishing Effective Representation and a Protected District for Anglophones in Brome-Missisquoi
(2020-12-18)Anglophones of Brome-Missisquoi once had a strong regional identity. The community presently is on the decline, which perpetuates the loss of representation in Quebec’s political institutions. Inspired by the concept of ... -
Establishing Organic Blackcurrants in Atlantic Canada
(2012-04-30)A study on Prince Edward Island was initiated to assess the impact of organic fertility amendment rate and timing treatments and deflowering on the growth, yield, and berry size and soluble solids, and plant and soil ... -

ESTIMATING AND MODELLING THE COMPOSITIONS OF CRYSTALLIZING TRIACYLGLYCEROL BINARY MIXTURES USING X-RAY DIFFRACTION
(2014-08-28)It is necessary to predict the composition, polymorphic form and distribution of the crystalline phases formed from a liquid mixture of fats at any temperature as these attributes affect the physical properties of fat based ... -
ESTIMATING MARINE PHYTOPLANKTON BIOMASS AND PRODUCTIVITY FROM AUTONOMOUS PROFILING FLOATS
(2023-12-12)Knowledge on the biomass and productivity of ocean phytoplankton is fundamental to our understanding of life on Earth. Phytoplankton are autotrophic microbes at the base of the marine food web, that, through photosynthesis, ... -
ESTIMATING PARTICLE DISPERSAL IN AQUATIC SYSTEMS: A COMPARISON OF NEW AND CONVENTIONAL TECHNOLOGIES
(2019-03-06)Dispersal is one of the most important life history strategies involved in species survival and evolution, affecting population dynamics, population genetics, and the spatial scale of population connectivity through the ... -
ESTIMATING THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN ACUTE SARS-CoV-2 AND FEBRILE SEIZURE IN CHILDREN USING THE CANADIAN IMMUNIZATION MONITORING PROGRAM-ACTIVE (IMPACT)
(2024-01-08)This study investigated the association between acute SARS-CoV-2, influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), enterovirus/rhinovirus infections, and hospitalization for febrile seizures in children aged <7 years. Conducted ... -
Estimating the Efficiency of Cross-Shelf Transport of Terrestrially Derived Materials in River Plumes
(2016-08-12)Rivers connect land and sea, delivering large amounts of terrestrially derived materials (such as nutrients, sediments, and pollutants) to the coastal ocean. Understanding the fate of this delivery is critical. Nutrients ... -
Estimating the Environmental Impacts Associated with Manufacturing Dehydrated Poultry Manure in Eastern Canada through a Life Cycle Assessment
(2024-04-12)Dehydrated poultry manure (DPM) is a pelleted form of poultry manure used as an organic fertilizer. The environmental impacts associated with its manufacturing have not been estimated. This research estimates the environmental ... -
Estimating the Impact of Staffing and Clinical Decisions on Wait Times for Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services
