Development of An Antibiotic Marker-Free Gene Delivery System in Streptococcus gordonii
(2013-04-25)Streptococcus gordonii, a commensal oral bacterium, is considered a good candidate to function as a live oral vaccine vector. The introduction of vaccine antigen genes into S. gordonii relies on the use of antibiotic ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF AN AUTOMATED DEBRIS DETECTION SYSTEM FOR WILD BLUEBERRY HARVESTERS USING A CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORK TO IMPROVE FRUIT QUALITY
(2020-11-16)Improving wild blueberry fruit quality has become increasingly important to producers due to the tightening profit margin facing the industry. The continuous development of field management practices (i.e., application of ... -
Development of an Experimental Device For Monitoring Frost Heave in Soils
(2013-06-24)The goal of this research is to develop a laboratory freeze cell and experimental methods to monitor frost heave in soil samples. This will allow the ability to identify the mechanisms of ice lens formation under ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF AN IN VITRO ASSAY TO EVALUATE ANTIMICROBIALS
(2012-07-27)In vitro assays were developed using small intestinal contents from broilers fed maltodextrin in preparation for shipping. This was done to establish an effective bactericidal dose of allicin or lysozyme as ingredients ... -
THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN IN VITRO MODEL TO EXAMINE AND MODULATE HEPATIC ISCHEMIA AND REPERFUSION RESPONSES
(2011-09-07)Transplantation is the optimal form of therapy for patients with end-stage liver disease; however, the use of organs with hepatic steatosis is often associated with increased risks for poor function and graft loss. In ... -
Development of an Instrument to Assess Design Ability of Engineering Students
(2016-07-27)Students complete design projects in order to put theoretical and technical knowledge gained from engineering science courses into practice to solve real-world problems, to expose students to industry practices, and improve ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTEGRATED URBAN MODELLING FRAMEWORK TO EXAMINE IMPACTS OF COVID-19 ON TRANSPORT AND LAND-USE SYSTEMS
(2021-08-24)This thesis develops an integrated urban modelling framework (IUMF) to assess the short-term, medium-term and long-term impacts of COVID-19 on transport and land-use systems. It starts with analyzing public discourses in ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF AN OPTIMIZED METHOD FOR THE CLINICAL ASSESSMENT OF BINAURAL FUNCTION
(2020-04-13)Obscure auditory dysfunction describes auditory deficits despite normal audiometric results. The causes are difficult to elucidate and not adequately assessed by currently available clinical assessments. Interaural phase ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF AN ORAL DELIVERY SYSTEM TO MODULATE THE RELEASE OF ANTHOCYANINS EXTRACTED FROM HASKAP BERRIES (LONICERA CAERULEA L.)
(2016-04-01)Anthocyanins (ACNs) can be related to positive health benefits and are naturally present in many fruits. Haskap berries (Lonicera caerulea L.) have been traditionally associated with therapeutic properties, and as they are ... -
Development of an unconditionally stable finite-difference time-domain method for electromagnetic modeling and applications.
(Dalhousie University, 2003) -
DEVELOPMENT OF ANALYTICAL METHODS AND REFERENCE MATERIALS FOR CYANOBACTERIAL TOXINS
(2013-05-30)Cyanobacterial toxins present a real and growing threat to humans and animals due to the projected increases in algal blooms resulting from increasing global temperature and pollution. Wild animals, livestock, pet animals ... -

(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 ... -
