IDENTIFICATION AND MANIPULATION OF KEY REGULATORS IN LACE PLANT PROGRAMMED CELL DEATH
(2017-06-19)The lace plant (Aponogeton madagascariensis) is an aquatic monocot species that has emerged as a model for studying developmental programmed cell death (PCD). In multicellular eukaryotes, PCD plays vital roles in development ... -
IDENTIFICATION OF AMINO ACIDS INVOLVED IN THE MOONLIGHTING FUNCTIONS OF HTPB, THE LEGIONELLA PNEUMOPHILA CHAPERONIN
(2016-09-12)Chaperonin 60s (Cpn60s) and their cognate co-chaperonin 10s (Cpn10s) are highly conserved housekeeping proteins that provide favorable conditions for the correct folding of other proteins. The Cpn60/10 of Escherichia coli ... -
"Identification of Chromosomal Locations in Potatoes Associated with Tuberization Related Traits Affected by Photoperiod Using SNP Markers"
(2016-04-08)Developing potato varieties adapted to diverse environmental conditions requires an understanding of tuberization related traits. Many of these traits are affected by photoperiod. This study identified genetic markers ... -
IDENTIFICATION OF DISEASE REACTION OF 11 CAMELINA SATIVA GENOTYPES TO DOWNY MILDEW (PERONOSPORA PARASITICA) AND INVESTIGATION OF STRATEGIES FOR ITS CONTROL
(2009-12-21)The SEM observation revealed that Peronospora parasitica started to germinate and finish direct penetration between 4 hours and 8 hours after inoculation. Conidiophores were observed growing out through stomata 1 week after ... -
Identification of Factors Regulating Cytoplasmic and Nuclear Lipid Droplets
(2021-01-07)Lipid droplets (LDs) are cellular metabolic energy reservoirs composed of a neutral lipid core of triglycerides (TG) and cholesterol esters (CE) that is surrounded by a surface monolayer of phospholipids and embedded ... -
Identification of high-frequency periodic acoustic tags with deep learning
(2021-07-30)Marine life researchers use the concept of fish tracking to determine the activity andbehaviour of fish. It allows the researchers to recognize the valuable biological andphysical support systems required by fish species ... -
IDENTIFICATION OF NOVEL COMPONENT OF RIBOFLAVIN BIOSYNTHETIC PATHWAY IN INVASIVE BACTERIA
(2019-03-22)Riboflavin biosynthetic pathway of Sinorhizobium meliloti1021 has a potential alternative enzyme ArfB, essential in riboflavin production for intracellular use. ArfB forms complexes with riboflavin biosynthetic enzymes in ... -
Identification of Roles for Arabidopsis thaliana RING-Type Ubiquitin Ligase XBAT35.2 and its Substrate Accelerated Cell Death11 (ACD11) in Abiotic Stress Tolerance
(2021-01-07)To survive adverse environmental conditions plants utilize various mechanisms including the production of the hormone abscisic acid, which promote cellular changes to ameliorate the negative effects of abiotic stress. The ... -
IDENTIFICATION OF SELECTION SIGNATURES FOR RESPONSE TO ALEUTIAN MINK DISEASE VIRUS INFECTION USING WHOLE GENOME SEQUENCE DATA
(2022-08-24)Aleutian disease (AD) has been a devastating disease in the mink industry, while our knowledge about the genetic background of American mink (Neovison vison) response against Aleutian mink disease virus (ADMV) is limited. ... -
Identification of the most robust and economical LS-DYNA shell element for simulation of full scale Ship to Offshore Platform Collision (STOPC)
(2020-01-13)This thesis studies the current body of literature surrounding marine vessel to offshore structure collisions with focus toward the collision energy losses, forces, structural mechanisms at play and total resulting structural ... -

IDENTIFYING AND OVERCOMING BARRIERS TO COMMUNITY POWER IN NOVA SCOTIA
(2012-09-13)Community power is an alternative to the fossil-fuelled, centralized approach to electricity generation. Typically, community power involves low-carbon or renewable forms of electricity generation developed in relatively ... -
Identifying benefits and relative effectiveness of two early-life enrichment strategies for American mink (Neogale vison)
(2023-11-08)The husbandry and housing of captive American mink (Neogale vison) farmed for their fur have been adapted in recent decades to better facilitate the expression of motivated, species-specific behaviours and promote improved ... -
IDENTIFYING BROAD-SCALE ABIOTIC AND BIOTIC HABITAT CHARACTERISTICS OF ANEMONE AMERICANA, CONOPHOLIS AMERICANA AND GOODYERA PUBESCENS IN NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA
(2021-04-08)The forest understory is the most biodiverse vegetation layer in temperate forests and it plays a major role in nutrient cycles, energy flow and succession following disturbance. It is often marginalized in research in ... -
Identifying Changes in Demand for Perishable Products Using Statistical Process Control and Forecasting
(2021-12-17)Fast and accurate identification of changes in demand is crucial in the management of blood products. Canadian Blood Services is planning a pilot project to apply pathogen reduction technology (PRT) to platelet production. ... -
Identifying Environments Associated with Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour in Older Colorectal Cancer Survivors
(2014-12-15)Colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors experience a reduction in their quality of life (QOL), even after completing treatment. Physical activity (PA) can improve QOL, but most CRC survivors are not active enough to receive ... -
