Long-Range Gravity-Aided Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Navigation
(2022-04-12)Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) are a mobile platform for underwater sensing, an environment relatively unexplored. Georeferencing measurements is difficult due to the challenge of AUV localization. The rapid attenuation ... -
LONG-TERM EVIDENCE THAT PRECOCIOUS PARR CAN SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE EFFECTIVE SIZE OF A POPULATION OF ATLANTIC SALMON (SALMO SALAR)
(2012-08-22)I describe temporal changes in the genetic composition of a small anadromous Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) population from South Newfoundland, an area where salmon populations are considered as Threatened (COSEWIC 2010). ... -
The Long-term Pelvic Floor Health Outcomes of Women after Childbirth: The Influence of Labour in the First Pregnancy
(2015)Introduction: Labour and/or vaginal delivery may have long-term pelvic floor health consequences. The purpose of this study was to estimate the influence of type of labour and pregnancy factors on these outcomes. Methods: ... -
LONG-TERM RESPONSES OF CHIRONOMIDS TO HUMAN SETTLEMENT
(2022-04-12)Anthropogenic stress has altered the ecological integrity of freshwater lakes for millennia. This remains a confounding factor when examining ecological changes prior to human records. Freshwater management attempts to ... -
Long-term trends in mountain groundwater levels in Canada and the United States
(2023-11-14)Mountains are vitally important for global water supply, yet little is known about how mountain groundwater is being impacted by climate change. This research aims to quantify trends in mountain groundwater levels and ... -
Long-term trends in the age and size structure of marine fishes
(2020-08-24)The phenotypic plasticity of marine fishes can generate demographic changes in response to harvesting, the environment, and interspecific interactions. Shifts in age and size can affect metrics of population viability ... -
Longitudinal Analysis of Retinal Perfusion in Mice Following Acute Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury
(2023-04-20)Background and Purpose Retinal ischemia is a common pathology in many vision-threatening diseases. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a non-invasive imaging technique that provides images of microvasculature ... -
A Longitudinal Examination of Collective Efficacy Dispersion Patterns in Sport Teams
(2020-08-27)Collective efficacy is the belief in a team’s ability to perform a task. Team members hold individual collective efficacy beliefs, which likely causes differing efficacy beliefs (dispersion) among teammates. Purpose: The ... -
Longitudinal Modelling of Households’ Vehicle Transaction and Type Choice Decisions
(2015)Longitudinal modelling of vehicle ownership is limited in the literature of ownership models. Temporal variation of households’ long-term vehicle ownership decisions can be modelled by considering longitudinal information ... -
Longitudinal study of changes in exercise capacity after stroke.

The longshoremen of Halifax 1900-1930; their lives and working conditions
(1977)The longshoremen of Halifax have traditionally been one of the largest groups of labourers in the city. - During the period 1900 to 1930 they began to capitalize on their numerical strength and on the potential their job ... -
A Look into the Reactivity and Functionality of Pyrroles and Dipyrrins
(2020-09-11)The dipyrrin unit formally consists of a pyrrolic unit and an aza-fulvenium unit. Within this thesis, two projects involving pyrroles and dipyrrins will be discussed. 2-Formyl pyrroles play a critical role in pyrrole ... -
Looking Forward to a Food Sovereign Future: The Role of Tradition-Informed Values and Indigeneity in the Carcross/Tagish First Nation Community Garden
(2018-12-07)This thesis offers an exploratory case-study of the Carcross/Tagish First Nation’s (CTFN) community garden. It aims to understand the extent to which the garden can facilitate cultural preservation. Using data from interviews ... -
Looking to the Future with the Burdens of the Past: Exploring the Systems of Mental Health Treatment for War-Affected Youth in Northern Uganda
(2019-08-30)Conflict-related trauma is linked intrinsically to mental health. This reality remains ever-present in Northern Uganda, as war-affected youth continue to suffer from the lingering effects of the LRA insurgency. With ... -
Loopholes and catacombs: Elements of Bakhtinian dialogue in the poetry of Al Purdy.

LOSS OF LKB1 TUMOUR SUPPRESSOR FUNCTION PLAYS A ROLE IN MAMMARY GLAND TUMOURIGENESIS AND REGULATION OF CELL METABOLISM.
(2016-08-05)The tumour suppressor kinase LKB1 is involved in many signalling pathways. LKB1 is particularly important for the regulation of cell homeostasis through the phosphorylation of the metabolic regulator, AMPK. Mutations in ... -
Loss of mitochondrial quality control protein Yme1 is deleterious to the viability of yeast lacking tafazzin.
(2016-01-19)The Saccharomyces cerevisiae TAZ1 gene is an orthologue of human TAZ; both encode the protein tafazzin. Tafazzin is a transacylase that transfers acyl chains with unsaturated fatty acids from other phospholipids to ... -
LOSS OF PRP4K IMPAIRS AUTOPHAGIC FLUX IN DICTYOSTELIUM DISCOIDEUM AND HUMAN CANCER CELLS
(2023-06-29)The pre-mRNA splicing factor 4 kinase (PRP4K) is a haploinsufficient tumour suppressor conserved from Dictyostelium discoideum (D. discoideum) to humans. Here, we describe the first viable knockout (KO) model in D. discoideum, ... -
Loss of PRP4K is linked to anoikis resistance and partial epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition
(2021-01-12)Metastatic disease is the primary cause of cancer-related death, and as a result the metastatic potential of a tumor is an important indicator of patient survival. For tumor cells to metastasize, they must overcome a special ... -
Losses of carbon from mineral-associated soil organic matter pools in podzolic horizons following soil climatic changes associated with forest clear-cut harvesting
(2019-12-05)Losses of soil organic matter (SOM) from mineral soils through depth have been documented following intensive forest harvesting practices such as clear-cut harvesting, and this has implications for global carbon cycling. ...
