The Effect of Bacterial High Temperature Protein G on Intestinal Epithelial Cells in the Context of Pediatric Crohn’s Disease
(2020-08-07)Crohn’s disease (CD), a type of inflammatory bowel disease, is caused by environmental, microbial, genetic, and immunological factors. Increased expression of specific heat shock proteins (HSPs) in CD patients protects ... -

The Effect of Chemical Fumigation and Biofumigation on the Soil Nitrogen Cycle, Soil Respiration, and the Soil Microbial Community
(2022-01-20)Chemical fumigation and biofumigation are used to reduce soil-borne diseases in potato crop production systems. However, soil fumigation may impact non-targeted soil microorganisms, consequently altering essential soil ... -
The Effect of Cognitive Skills on Aboriginal People's Employment Outcomes
(2014-08-22)This paper uses the 2012 Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (2012 PIAAC) and examines how cognitive skills affect the labour market outcomes of Aboriginal people in Canada. The results show ... -
EFFECT OF COMBINED SHEAR, BENDING AND LOW AXIAL LOAD ON BEHAVIOR OF CONCRETE BEAMS REINFORCED WITH GLASS FIBER-REINFORCED POLYMER BARS
(2021-04-29)This research's main objective was to investigate the effect of combined bending and shear behavior of the concrete beams reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars subjected to low axial load less than 10% ... -
The effect of community of discharge on length of stay for unplanned hospitalizations: An indicator of community care integration?
(2020-08-07)Objective: Adjusted hospital length of stay (LOS), widely used to benchmark hospital efficiency, does not account for community-driven variation. We estimate the extent to which community affects LOS for unplanned ... -
Effect of Crop Characteristics and Machine Parameters on Berry Losses During Wild Blueberry Harvesting
(2015)Wild blueberry crop characteristics have been changed in last two decades due to improved management practices. Currently, growers are facing increased harvesting losses (15-25%) with existing harvester due to change in ... -
THE EFFECT OF DIETARY PROTEIN ON SATIETY AND WEIGHT LOSS DURING INTERMITTENT FASTING IN OVERWEIGHT AND OBESE WOMEN
(2023-10-10)Energy restriction, including IER regimens, is one of the most important obesity treatment and weight-control strategies. These regimens provide health benefits associated with weight reduction. With energy restriction ... -
Effect Of Dipyridamole On ATP Metabolism In The Red Blood Cells And Cardiovascular Protection
(2015)Dipyridamole (DYP) is an adenosine uptake inhibitor used clinically as a coronary vasodilator, although the mechanism of action is not fully understood. The objective of my thesis research was to study the effect of DYP ... -
Effect of Diverse Compost Products on Potato Productivity and Soil Quality
(2017-07-17)Quality and productivity of potato fields in New Brunswick, Canada has been declining due to intensive production practices. Compost addition may rapidly increase soil organic matter and reverse declining productivity. ... -
EFFECT OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND MANAGEMENT FACTORS ON GROWTH AND SEED QUALITY OF SELECTED GENOTYPES OF CAMELINA SATIVA L. CRANTZ
(2013-03-27)Key aspects of the basic agronomy Camelina sativa were evaluated under controlled environment conditions and at multiple field locations in 2011 and 2012. Camelina is a highly adaptable crop. It germinates well even under ... -
Effect of Exercise Intensity on Adenosine Metabolism in Systemic Circulation and Cardiovascular Protection
(2020-05-04)Adenosine is believed to be one of the main mediators of the cardioprotective effects of ischemic preconditioning and exercise preconditioning in the body. Sprague Dawley rats (SDR) were each exercised on a treadmill for ... -
Effect of Floor Germination Temperature on Dimethyl Sulphide Precursors Present in Malt and Sensory Characteristics of Beer
(2020-05-14)Dimethyl sulphide in beer tends to predominate overall flavour perceptions at very low threshold values. During malting, germination temperatures of steeped barley above 20oC induce formation of DMS precursors in malt (4), ... -
The effect of food web structure on the population dynamics of pitcher plant microfauna.
(Dalhousie University, 2003) -
The effect of freeze-thaw cycles on soil respiration and nitrogen dynamics as in-fluenced by soil structure, aggregate size and water content
(2020-05-14)The role of soil structure and aggregation in influencing soil respiration and N dynamics in soils undergoing freeze-thaw cycles, as influenced by water content, is poorly known. Surface soil with a texture of sandy loam ... -
The effect of germination conditions on growth of Fusarium graminearum and secretion of deoxynivalenol during floor malting of barley
(2021-08-24)The effect of CO2, temperature, and presence or absence of light on the growth of Fusarium graminearum and secretion of deoxynivalenol (DON) during micro-scale floor malting of CDC Copeland barley was evaluated. DON levels, ... -
EFFECT OF GRAPHENE COATINGS AND WATER TEMPERATURE ON MARINE BIOFOULING SYSTEMS
(2022-08-29)This work investigated two strategies for controlling marine biofouling. One method involved the use of graphene-enhanced coatings to mitigate biofilm growth. The second study assessed the influence of water temperature ... -
Effect of Green Space Exposure on the Relationship Between Socioeconomic Status and Mental Health Among Older Canadians
(2022-08-22)Green space is considered to be a health-promoting feature of both natural and built environments and has the potential to influence mental health outcomes at both an individual and population level. Green space interventions, ... -
Effect of Harvesting Time on Berry Losses During Mechanical Harvesting of Wild Blueberries
(2016-08-08)More than 90% of the total wild blueberry crop area in Canada is mechanically harvested. Only fields in rough terrain are still hand raked. Prior to this study, there were no identified protocols related to fruit maturity ...
