INTER-KINGDOM EPIGENETICS: CHARACTERIZATION OF MAIZE B1 TANDEM REPEAT-MEDIATED SILENCING IN DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER
(2010-09-02)Transgenic organisms are a valuable tool for studying epigenetics, as they provide significant insight into the evolutionary conservation of epigenetic control sequences, the interacting proteins, and the underlying molecular ... -
INTERACTION OF IRRADIANCE AND STOCKING DENSITY ON NUTRIENT UPTAKE BY RED MACROALGAE. IMPLICATIONS FOR BIOREMEDIATION OF FISH FARM EFFLUENTS
(2013-10-30)In land-based integrated aquaculture of marine finfish and macroalgae, rearing space is a large expense. Increasing algal stocking density can increase efficiency, but this may require greater irradiance because of ... -
The interaction of water waves with submerged spheres and circular cylinders.
(Dalhousie University, 1997) -
Interactions Between an Invasive Epiphytic Bryozoan and Species of Rocky Subtidal Habitats of Nova Scotia
(2010-11-02)In Nova Scotia subtidal habitats, the invasive bryozoan Membranipora membranacea interacts with native bryozoan Electra pilosa on kelps, which offer high space availability but are highly dynamic, and on non-kelp algae, ... -
Interactions between convection and the background atmosphere during high rain events: observations and comparisons with models
(2014-05-01)The thesis consists of three projects. Each of these projects is a diagnostic study of the interaction between strong convective events and the background atmosphere. In all projects, we use a satellite rainfall dataset ... -
Interactions between immunity and reproduction in the cricket, Gryllus texensis.
(Dalhousie University, 2003) -
Interactions between macrobiota (wild and aquacultured) and the physical-planktonic environment: insights from a new 3-D end-to-end modelling framework
(2011-12-16)Marine ecosystem-based management requires end to end models, which are models capable of representing the entire ecosystem including physical, chemical and biological processes, anthropogenic activities, and multiple ... -
Interactions between physical and biological processes in the equatorial Pacific.
(Dalhousie University, 1991) -
Interactions of corrosion control and biofilm on lead and copper in premise plumbing
(2013-12-17)Premise plumbing can contain copper and lead bearing fixtures, and although copper is considered primarily an aesthetic issue, the neurotoxic effects of lead present a significant public health concern. Utilities approach ... -
Interactions of Native and Modified Clupeine with Escherichia coli K-12 and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium 14028 Cells and Model Biomembranes
(2020-01-22)Clupeine, a cationic antimicrobial peptide found in the sperm cells of fish, is of interest as a food additive because of its antimicrobial activity against several foodborne pathogens. But, non-specific binding of clupeine ... -
Interactive Effects of Main Climate Change Components on Growth and Development of Arabidopsis Thaliana
(2018-12-17)Higher temperature and elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration are expected to cause changes in global precipitation patterns and thus increased water stress events in soils. Few studies have reported the interaction ... -
Interactive Learning To Rank And Visual Rank Interpretation
(2020-04-08)Many algorithms in the Information Retrieval domain have been developed considering training models using vast amounts of data. The acquisition of this data, however, is time-consuming and requires lots of human effort. ... -
Interactive Navigation and Control of Neurosurgical Robotic Systems
(2017-08-29)Trauma and head injury are an important cause of overall mortality and morbidity. Millions of people around the world suffer from neurological and functional disorders, but there are only a limited number of neurosurgeons ... -
INTERACTIVE TERM SUPERVISED TEXT DOCUMENT CLUSTERING
(2014-11-19)Text document clustering has broad applications in practice. For instance, a conference chair should place accepted papers into meaningful sessions. Students writing a thesis, or professors writing a proposal or planning ... -
Interactive text analytics for document clustering
(2018-12-12)Clustering has been widely used to efficiently get insight into text collections containing more documents than a human can effectively read. Although there exist several different document clustering algorithms, most of ... -
INTERACTIVE TEXT ANALYTICS FOR USER-GENERATED CONTENT
(2017-04-27)The rapid growth of social media platforms, weblogs and online forums has made the volume of user-generated content increase exponentially in recent years. User-generated content is different from traditional documents in ... -
Interchange Intervention: Inhabiting Urban Highway Infrastructure
(2013-12-12)Urban highway infrastructure in North America has been singularly designed for the automobile, severing parts of the urban fabric, blighting our once-thriving city centres and resulting in spaces that are void of the human ... -
INTERCOMPARISON OF METHODS TO APPLY SATELLITE OBSERVATIONS FOR INVERSE MODELLING OF NOx SURFACE EMISSIONS
(2013-10-03)Knowledge of NOx (NO2 + NO) emissions is useful to understand processes affecting air quality and climate change. Emission inventories of surface NOx have high uncertainties. Satellite remote sensing has enabled measurements ... -
INTERCONNECTED ENERGY FLOW ANALYSIS AND HEAT RECOVERY STRATEGY OF THE MICHELIN BRIDGEWATER MANUFACTURING FACILITY
(2014-04-15)This study presents the analysis of the heating and cooling systems in the Michelin Bridgewater production facility and the investigation of the interconnected effects of the heating systems. The Michelin facility has been ... -
Intercultural Mediations: Cross-Cultural Collaborations in Early Twentieth-Century First Nations Literature
(2013-08-23)This thesis examines the implications of three early twentieth-century First Nations collaborations that were produced in the context of salvage ethnography and attributed mainly to their non-aboriginal collaborators: ...
