The Development of Exogenous Anticonvulsants and Endogenous Uracil-Based Antiepileptic Agents
(2011-09-06)Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder for which the development of new and improved therapies is essential. Thus, the central theme of this thesis pertains to the design and synthesis of putative antiepileptic drugs. ... -
Development Of High-throughput 3d Neural Cell Culture Platforms For Modelling Parkinson’s Disease
(2017-12-15)The three-dimensional (3D) culture of neural cells in Matrigel, a thermoresponsive, self-assembling, extracellular matrix hydrogel, holds promise for modelling neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease (PD). ... -
The development of iconic storage.
(Dalhousie University, 1976) -
Development of Integrated Urban System Models: Population Life-transitions, Household location, and Vehicle Transaction Decisions
(2017-12-01)This research presents the development of a life-oriented, agent-based integrated transport land use and energy (iTLE) model. A life-oriented theory and perspective is adopted to accommodate life-trajectory dynamics of key ... -
THE DEVELOPMENT OF LEGIONELLA PNEUMOPHILA REACHES DIFFERENT END POINTS IN AMOEBAE, MACROPHAGES AND CILIATES
(2014-02-25)The intracellular pathogen Legionella pneumophila thrives in both natural and man-made water habitats where it replicates inside freshwater amoebae. L. pneumophila follows a developmental cycle as it grows in amoebae. The ... -
Development of Liquid Chromatographic and Mass Spectrometric Methods for the Identification of Chlorinated Triacylglycerols in Natural Oils
(2016-08-29)ABSTRACT There is a growing concern about halogenated organic compounds, in particular organochlorines, entering the food chain and causing adverse health effects to humans. Known persistent halogenated anthropogenic ... -
Development of Machine Vision Node on Standardized Controller Area Network of a Self-Propelled Boom Sprayer to Perform Site-Specific Pesticide Application
(2023-07-26)Pesticides are applied by commercial sprayers to control weeds and insects, which commonly develop in patches. Several boom sprayers are equipped with ISOBUS communication links which is a common tendency to integrate ... -
The Development of Maternal Attachment from Fetal Affiliation to Infant Interaction
(1984-06)This study was designed to examine the relationship between maternal fetal attachment and maternal child attachment during the early postpartum period. Attachment during pregnancy was measured by the Maternal Fetal Attachment ... -
Development of micro-machined planar manipulators.
(Dalhousie University, 2004) -
Development of Microscale Immunoassays using Aqueous Two-Phase Systems
(2021-10-15)Aqueous two-phase systems (ATPSs) have been traditionally applied in liquid-liquid extraction processes to purify and recover biological products. Due to their high biocompatibility, easy handling, and potential to be ... -
Development of molecular tools to evaluate colonization factors of Helicobacter pylori.
(Dalhousie University, 2007) -
The Development of Moral Foundations in 2- and 4-Year-Olds
(2020-09-01)This dissertation examined moral development in children using Moral Foundations Theory (MFT) as a guiding framework. MFT states that there are several moral ‘foundations’, or areas in which we may hold moral values and ... -
THE DEVELOPMENT OF MORALITY IN AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER
(2022-06-16)Morality helps guide behaviour and facilitates relationships. Autism spectrum disorder (autism) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by differences in social-communication skills and repetitive or inflexible ... -
