The influence of dietary fat concentration on fatty acid signatures and stable carbon isotopes of fatty acids in liver of Atlantic pollock (Pollachius virens)
(2015)A number of biomarker techniques have been employed to investigate animal diets, including analyses of fatty acid (FA) proportions and stable carbon isotopic signatures. Here, the influence of dietary FA concentrations on ... -
THE INFLUENCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS ON THE PROGRESSION OF HAPLOSPORIDIUM NELSONI (MSX) IN CRASSOSTREA VIRGINICA (AMERICAN OYSTER) ON CAPE BRETON ISLAND, NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA
(2019-08-29)In the late 1950s, oyster populations in the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays suffered mortality from the parasite, Haplosporidium nelsoni that is now present from Florida to Maine. In 2001 and 2002, H. nelsoni caused oyster ... -
Influence of Extrinsic Factors on Movements and Reproductive Success of Leach's Storm-Petrel (Oceanodroma leucorhoa).
(2017-03-03)Small pelagic seabirds are valuable indicators of changes in marine ecosystems because they range widely and feed at low trophic levels, and so respond rapidly to changes in ocean conditions. Globally, rapid climatic ... -
The influence of gender on appraisal of pain and pain coping strategies.
(Dalhousie University, 1996) -
Influence of generation time, gender and DNA damage on the mutation rate in seed plants.
(Dalhousie University, 2003) -
Influence of heterotrophic bacteria and other sub-micrometer particles on light scattering in the ocean.
(Dalhousie University, 1992) -
The influence of irradiance and genotype on the change in carbon allocation by four species of microalgae under increasing nutrient stress
(2012-12-11)During nutrient-replete growth of microalgae, new photosynthate is allocated toward three different biochemical pools: light harvesting compounds, the biosynthetic apparatus and energy storage. The mechanisms governing ... -
INFLUENCE OF LAND-USE INTENSITY ON SOIL NEMATODE COMMUNITIES AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO RHIZOCTONIA SOLANI DISEASE SUPPRESSION
(2020-09-01)ABSTRACT Soil organic matter (SOM) degradation linked to intensive management across PEI may negatively impact soil nematode communities and disease suppression. Soil nematode communities (Chapter 2), Rhizoctonia solani ... -
Influence of light regimen on the growth and toxicity of Alexandrium tamarense.
(Dalhousie University, 1995) -
Influence of loading and matrix stiffness on airway smooth muscle contractile function and phenotype within a 3D microtissue culture model
(2013-12-17)Airway remodeling characteristic of asthma involves structural changes altering the elasticity of the airway smooth muscle (ASM) microenvironment potentially leading to ASM dysfunction. This effect of matrix stiffness was ... -
Influence of model spatial resolution on simulated aerosol surface concentration
(2016-11-22)Fine particulate matter known as PM2.5 exists in Earth’s atmosphere at varying levels globally. High ambient concentrations of PM2.5 are associated with adverse health impacts, reduced visibility, and have a relatively ... -
Influence of phytoplankton communities on relationships between optical properties of coastal surface waters.
(Dalhousie University, 1999) -
THE INFLUENCE OF POPULATION AGEING ON HOUSE PRICES IN CHINA
(2021-12-16)This thesis tries to clarify the issue of the effect of population ageing on the housing market. Existing studies find both positive and negative effects, which may be because they do not distinguish between the effects ... -
Influence of scale on the inerting of dust explosions.

The Influence of Social Media on E-Commerce Sties
(2013-12-16)This thesis addresses the influence that social media sites have on the behavior of online customers (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, etc.). The thesis combines information from three different approaches that study how social ... -
Influence of Stand Age, Micro-climate, and Litter Composition on the Decomposition of Ten Litter Types in White Spruce Plantation Forests in Nova Scotia, Canada
(2018-07-31)The influence of stand age, micro-climate and litter composition on calculated decomposition rates of litter types was determined to gain information regarding soil nutrient supply in white spruce plantation forests in ... -
THE INFLUENCE OF SWIMMING ON THE VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL DISTRIBUTION OF MARINE INVERTEBRATE LARVAE
(2013-09-03)This thesis aims to increase our understanding of mechanisms that influence larval dispersal in marine benthic invertebrates, particularly in the absence of strong oceanographic features (e.g. estuarine plumes, upwelling ... -
INFLUENCE OF TEMPERATURE AND STRESS RATIO ON FATIGUE AND FRACTURE RESPONSE OF HPDC AM60B MAGNESIUM ALLOY
(2010-09-16)The mechanical behavior of a high pressure die cast AM60B Mg alloy is studied. Constant load amplitude fatigue tests were conducted at room, elevated and cold temperatures, with a stress ratio of R=0.1, and frequency of ...
