The effect of predictable refixation on inhibition of return
(2015)Inhibition of Return (IOR) refers to slowed responding to stimuli appearing at recently attended locations, and it has been reported for simple detection responses but also saccadic eye movements and even reaching movements ... -
The Effect of Pseudomonas aeruginosa on the Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Response in Mammalian Cells
(2020-08-28)Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen imposing serious threat to cystic fibrosis patients. P. aeruginosa is equipped with many virulence factors that are controlled by the quorum sensing (QS) systems. These ... -
Effect of Pyroligneous Acid Application on Tomato Growth and Alleviation of Aluminum Stress
(2023-08-24)Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a major constraint to global crop production in acidic soils. Pyroligneous acid (PA), a reddish-brown smoky liquid produced during the pyrolysis of biomass, can enhance crop growth and tolerance ... -
Effect of Salinity, Photoperiod, Temperature, and Restricted Food Intake on Growth and Incidence of Sexual Maturation of Labrador Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus)
(2012-09-17)Economic viability of Fraser River, Labrador Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) aquaculture in Atlantic Canada may be greatly improved if grow-out could be completed in seawater (30 ppt), while having a low incidence of ... -
The Effect of Sex and Menstrual Cycle Phase on Neuromuscular Control of Trunk Musculature
(2012-09-11)Women have higher rates of noncontact musculoskeletal injuries compared to men, as well as at certain times in their menstrual cycles compared to others. The purpose of this study was two-fold: i) to examine the neuromuscular ... -
The Effect of Situational Speaking Anxiety on Stuttering Frequency in Adults Who Stutter
(2003-12)The purpose of this study was to examine whether there is a relationship between degree of speaking anxiety, pressure to not stutter, and stuttering in varying speaking situations using two different methodologies. In Study ... -
Effect of Soil Variability on Wild Blueberry Fruit Yield
(2010-12-22)Two wild blueberry fields were selected in central Nova Scotia, to characterize and quantify the spatial pattern of variability in soil properties, leaf nutrients and fruit yield, identification of yield influencing soil ... -
Effect of spatial and temporal variability in oceanic processes on air-sea fluxes of carbon dioxide.
(Dalhousie University, 1996) -
The effect of spatial stimulus attributes on auditory temporal processing tasks.
(Dalhousie University, 2003) -
The effect of storm events on carbon cycling for the Nova Scotia Shelf region
(2016-12-09)Seasonal changes in carbon cycling over the years have become better understood on the Scotian Shelf, however little is resolved in short term variation. Focusing on the storm event, Hurricane Arthur, July 5th 2014 there ... -
The Effect of Strain in MnSi Thin Films and the Stability of In-Plane Skyrmions
(2017-09-01)Magnetic skyrmions represent a topologically stable field configuration that can arise in magnetic materials that lack centres of inversion symmetry. These solitons have potential applications in digital memory storage ... -
Effect of Supplementation with Fish Oil or Microalgae on Milk Fatty Acid Composition and Lipogenic Gene Expression in Cows Managed in Confinement or Pasture Systems
(2013-09-17)Modifying milk fat composition to enhance its content of valuable fatty acids (FA) is required to meet the needs of a society which is becoming better informed about the relationship between diet and health. Manipulating ... -
Effect of Surface Porosity on Tribological Properties of Automotive Al-Si Alloys
(2010-09-16)Al-Si based alloys are commonly used in the automobile industry due to their superior properties, high strength to weight ratio, corrosion resistance, recyclability, etc. These alloys are fabricated by casting and powder ... -
Effect of Temperature on the Wide Angle X-Ray Diffraction of Nanocrystalline Triacylglycerols
(2014-12-16)The peak position of wide angle x-ray diffraction patterns of nanocrystalline triacylglycerols is affected by the temperature. To observe this effect quantitatively, pure triacylglycerols and triacylglycerol mixtures were ... -
Effect of the Land Application of Biosolids on Greenhouse Gas Emissions Under Atlantic Canadian Conditions
(2020-11-09)The objective of this field study was to examine the effect of biosolids type, application rate, and application method on soil nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and methane (CH4) emissions from a sandy loam ... -
