EFFECTS OF OVARIAN HORMONES ON SLEEP AND RECOVERY FROM SLEEP DEPRIVATION IN OVARIECTOMIZED MIDDLE-AGED FEMALE RATS
(2011-09-06)Menopausal symptoms, including sleep problems, occur as a result of reduced production of ovarian hormones in middle-aged women, and are often treated with replacement of these hormones. However, the efficacy of hormone ... -
THE EFFECTS OF P22PHOX GENETIC POLYMORPHISMS AND NATURAL COMPOUNDS ON REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES FORMATION
(2013-03-28)Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have a role in cardiovascular health and disease. This study was undertaken to determine if ROS formation is influenced by either common genetic variations in p22phox, a subunit of the ROS ... -
The Effects of Photo, Physical and Mechanical (PPM) Pre-treatments in Controlling Certain Pests and Diseases in Carrots, Daucus carota L. var. Sativus cv. Carson
(2009-12-21)Pests and diseases have a significant economic impact on yield, quality and sale of processing carrots. In an effort to combat certain pests and diseases, the effects of photo, physical and mechanical (PPM) treatments on ... -
THE EFFECTS OF PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH STATUS ON FUTURE LIVING ARRANGEMENTS OF MIDDLE-AGED AND OLDER CANADIANS - A LONGITUDINAL ANALYSIS
(2012-08-21)Canada’s population is aging rapidly, and understanding living arrangements and their determinants plays a critical role in supporting healthy aging. This thesis examined, using a population-based longitudinal survey, the ... -
The Effects of Political-Culture on Divergent Patterns of Post-Soviet Political-Economic Transformation: A Comparison of the Experiences of Latvia and Belarus since 1991
(2012-08-27)Following the breakup of the Soviet Union, many predicted there would be economic policy convergence, where it was assumed that the post-Soviet states would all transition into liberal-capitalist economies. Over twenty ... -
EFFECTS OF POST-PRINTING HEAT TREATMENT AND ADDITION OF CERAMIC-BASED NANOPARTICLES ON THE MICROSTRUCTURE AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF WIRE ARC ADDITIVE MANUFACTURED PH 13-8Mo MARTENSITIC STAINLESS STEEL
(2022-12-16)Precipitation hardening martensitic stainless steels offer an outstanding combination of strength and corrosion resistance under harsh environmental conditions while maintaining their moderate toughness. The reasonable ... -
Effects of prefrontal cortex lesions on spontaneous sleep-wake patterns and compensatory response to sleep loss in rats
(2013-08-27)Recent evidence suggests a possible role for the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in sleep/wake regulation and sleep-related electroencephalogram (EEG) activity. This study investigated the effects of cell-specific ibotenic acid ... -
The Effects of Prenatal Predator Exposure and Postnatal Environmental Enrichment on Febrile Convulsions, FosB- and CRH-immunoreactivity
(2013-04-26)Epilepsy, a relatively common and chronic neurological condition, affects 1-2% of the population. The underlying pathophysiology of epileptogenesis is not completely understood. To identify potential antecedents to ... -
Effects of Prenatal Stress and/or Forebrain Atrx Deficiency in C57/B6 Male Mice on Maternal Care and Emotional, Cognitive and Social Development
(2018-12-18)Early life experience influences the developing brain, notably in areas related to stress regulation, cognition and social behaviours. During perinatal development, the brain exhibits high plasticity, and environmental ... -
Effects of Prenatal Stress and/or Forebrain ATRX Deficiency in C57BL/6 Mice on Cellular Metabolism, DNA Damage, ATM Promoter Methylation and Gene Expression
(2021-08-26)Early life experiences and maternal care influence brain development, in areas that support stress regulation, cognition, and social behaviour. Studies suggest that sustained changes in gene expression in response to ... -
Effects of prenatal stress and/or forebrain ATRX deficiency in C57Bl/6 mice on regulation and expression of Autism risk genes
(2020-06-16)Early life experiences influence brain development and consequently, behaviour into adulthood. In humans, maternal stress during the third trimester has been associated with increased incidences of Autism Spectrum Disorder ... -
Effects of Process Variables on the Mechanical and Physical Properties of an Al-Cu-Mg Powder Metallurgy Alloy
(2018-04-26)The applications of aluminum powder metallurgy (PM) alloys require precise control of final mechanical properties. The final properties of an alloy are dictated by the processing steps performed during production. The goal ... -
