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 ... -
The development of movement patterns during swimming in the CNS myelin deficient jimpy mouse.
(Dalhousie University, 1996) -
Development of NDT to detect corrosion in automobile tires
(2021-12-15)In the present work, various induction thermographic techniques have been tested to detect corrosion traces over embedded steel wire in cooked rubber (simulating bead wires condition in automobile tires). Accordingly, ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF NECTIN-4-TARGETING ONCOLYTIC MEASLES VIROTHERAPY FOR THE TREATMENT OF BREAST AND LIVER CANCERS
(2021-07-27)Oncolytic viruses (OVs) are a rapidly emerging treatment platform for various types of cancer that offers several advantages over conventional anticancer therapeutics, including selectivity, potency, and targeted cell ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF NONLINEAR FINITE DIFFERENCE MODEL FOR CHLORIDE DIFFUSION IN CONCRETE
(2016-07-06)Owing to problems associated with chloride-induced corrosion, the reliable prediction of chloride ingress into concrete is one of the key elements of the durability design and redesign of concrete structures exposed to ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF NOVEL 2 DOF THERMAL MICRO ACTUATORS AND A COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT DISPLACEMENT MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES
(2011-08-12)This thesis examines the development and testing of a novel 2 DOF (Degrees of Freedom) thermal actuator using Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology. A out-of-plane displacement measurement technique based ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF NOVEL ELECTRODE/ELECTROLYTE SYSTEMS FOR A LI-ION CELL WITH HIGHER ENERGY DENSITY AND LONGER LIFETIME
(2018-12-04)The energy density of lithium ion cells can increase when the charge cut-off potential increases or high Ni content positive electrode materials are used. However, this normally decreases the lifetime of cells because of ... -
THE DEVELOPMENT OF SAMPLE PREPARATION METHODS INVOLVING DETERGENTS FOR ANALYSIS OF MEMBRANE PROTEINS BY MASS SPECTROMETRY
(2013-12-23)Appropriate solubilization of membrane proteins can be achieved by incorporating detergents such as sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Unfortunately, SDS interferes with liquid chromatography (LC) and mass spectrometry (MS). ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF SENSING SYSTEM BASED ON FOLIAR SPECTRAL REFLECTANCE TO ESTIMATE NUTRIENTS IN POTATO PLANTS
(2024-04-15)In this research project, a sensing system based on spectroscopy was developed to offer a solution to the problem of slow and tedious method of understanding the status of nutrients in potato plants using chemical tissue ... -
Development of Simultaneous Multi-Radionuclide Imaging with a Novel SiPM-based Preclinical SPECT Scanner
(2023-12-14)Multi-radionuclide single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is becoming increasingly important in nuclear medicine investigations for radiopharmaceutical drug development and procedural advancement. Crosstalk is ... -
