CHARACTERIZATION OF AIR EMISSIONS FROM PULP AND PAPER MILL FACILITIES IN ATLANTIC CANADA
(2022-10-26)A kraft pulp mill that operated in Pictou (KPMP), Nova Scotia for more than 50 years is considered a major source of environmental pollution, although its air emissions have not been widely studied. To address this gap, ... -
Characterization of an OxyR-regulated alkyl hydroperoxide reductase (ahpC2D) operon in Legionella pneumophila.
(Dalhousie University, 2007) -
Characterization of anti-inflammatory, anti-Streptococcus pyogenes and anti-biofilm activities of summer savory phytochemicals
(2015)Streptococcus pyogenes is a common cause of sore throat that requires clinical intervention. Antibiotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are often prescribed to inhibit the growth of bacteria and relieve pain, ... -
Characterization of baboon reovirusp15 suggests a novel model of fast protein-mediated membrane fusion.
(Dalhousie University, 2004) -
Characterization of Business Establishments and Commercial Vehicle Movements Utilizing Machine Learning Techniques in Halifax, Canada
(2024-04-15)This thesis develops a commercial vehicle travel demand forecasting model. First, it characterizes business establishments to investigate the agglomeration of businesses. Next, it develops location choice models for five ... -
Characterization of Cux2 in the Developing Cerebellum
(2015)A goal of developmental neurobiology is to understand the mechanisms involved in generating a mature nervous system. For example, researchers are trying to elucidate the processes of fate restriction, migration and maturation ... -
Characterization of dengue virus envelope protein.
(Dalhousie University, 1997) -
CHARACTERIZATION OF EARLY CD8 T CELL RESPONSES AFTER BYSTANDER AND ANTIGEN-SPECIFIC ACTIVATION
(2022-11-28)In light of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, it has become imperative to understand how CD8 T cells, an important line of defense in the adaptive immune system, are activated in response to virus infections and other diseases. ... -
Characterization of Electrode Materials for Aqueous-Based Electrochemical Capacitors Using Spectroscopy, the Boehm Titration and Spectroelectrochemistry
(2010-08-19)In this research various techniques were used to study surface groups on carbon electrodes, including the spectroscopic techniques UV-Vis-NIR, FTIR, PAS, XPS and XAS, as well as the Boehm titration. The methods determined ... -
Characterization of Estuarine Particle Dynamics using Optical Properties
(2019-12-04)Estuarine sediment dynamics have a significant economical and ecological importance in environmental management and ecosystems protection. They are influenced by complex physical processes, including river discharge and ... -
Characterization of Fruit Development and Ripening of Vaccinium angustifolium Ait. in Relation to Microclimate Conditions
(2011-12-21)Berry ripening in lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium Ait.) is influenced by developmental, physiological and climatic factors resulting in a heterogenous mix of maturities at harvest. This study characterizes the ... -
CHARACTERIZATION OF GAIT DEFICITS IN A MOUSE MODEL OF MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
(2017-09-15)Neurological deficits in mice subjected to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) are typically scored using a clinical scale (CS) with 5-10 levels of ascending paralysis and impaired gait. However, CS scoring is ... -
CHARACTERIZATION OF HB9 INTERNEURONS: BEHAVIOUR AND ANATOMY
(2017-05-11)Central pattern generators (CPGs) are neuronal circuits that are responsible for the generation of rhythmic behaviours such as locomotion. It has been suggested that a population of spinal interneurons (INs), known as Hb9 ... -
CHARACTERIZATION OF IRON-REGULATED PROTEINS AND THEIR TRANSCRIPTIONAL RESPONSE TO TRANSIENT IRON LEVELS IN THE OPEN OCEAN DIATOM THALASSIOSIRA OCEANICA
(2020-11-02)Iron-requiring proteins are essential for numerous cellular processes, but low iron concentrations limit algal growth in over 30% of the ocean’s surface waters. Iron-fertilization experiments induced diatom-dominated blooms, ... -
Characterization of Microbial Communities, Disinfection and Removal of Human Pathogenic Bacteria in Arctic Wastewater Stabilization Ponds
(2017-08-31)Municipal wastewater management in Arctic Canada is different than in Southern Canada, mostly due to climatic and infrastructural constraints. Most arctic communities use trucked sewage collection systems followed by ... -
Characterization of Na-Loaded Type II Si and Ge Clathrates: A Systematic Structure–Property Evaluation of Thermoelectric Materials
(2011-12-16)The present study aims to increase understanding of the physical processes that govern thermoelectric efficiency in Na-containing group 14 type II clathrates. This has been achieved through structural characterization and ... -
CHARACTERIZATION OF NANOCARBON-REINFORCED AND NEAT ADHESIVES IN BONDED SINGLE LAP JOINTS UNDER STATIC AND IMPACT LOADINGS
(2013-08-27)The effects of high loading rates (HLR), and nano reinforcement on the mechanical response of adhesively-bonded SLJs with composite adherends, subjected to different loading (strain) rates are systematically investigated. ... -
CHARACTERIZATION OF NOVEL 3D-PRINTED METAL SHIELDING FOR BRACHYTHERAPY APPLICATORS
(2023-08-28)Samples of 3D-printed stainless steel were embedded in a solid water phantom. An Ir-192 source was used to expose EBT3 Gafchromic film which were used to determine the samples’ shielding properties. Film was positioned in ...
