Characterization of Cux2 in the Developing Cerebellum
(2015)A goal of developmental neurobiology is to understand the mechanisms involved in generating a mature nervous system. For example, researchers are trying to elucidate the processes of fate restriction, migration and maturation ... -
Characterization of dengue virus envelope protein.
(Dalhousie University, 1997) -
CHARACTERIZATION OF EARLY CD8 T CELL RESPONSES AFTER BYSTANDER AND ANTIGEN-SPECIFIC ACTIVATION
(2022-11-28)In light of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, it has become imperative to understand how CD8 T cells, an important line of defense in the adaptive immune system, are activated in response to virus infections and other diseases. ... -
Characterization of Electrode Materials for Aqueous-Based Electrochemical Capacitors Using Spectroscopy, the Boehm Titration and Spectroelectrochemistry
(2010-08-19)In this research various techniques were used to study surface groups on carbon electrodes, including the spectroscopic techniques UV-Vis-NIR, FTIR, PAS, XPS and XAS, as well as the Boehm titration. The methods determined ... -
Characterization of Estuarine Particle Dynamics using Optical Properties
(2019-12-04)Estuarine sediment dynamics have a significant economical and ecological importance in environmental management and ecosystems protection. They are influenced by complex physical processes, including river discharge and ... -
Characterization of Fruit Development and Ripening of Vaccinium angustifolium Ait. in Relation to Microclimate Conditions
(2011-12-21)Berry ripening in lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium Ait.) is influenced by developmental, physiological and climatic factors resulting in a heterogenous mix of maturities at harvest. This study characterizes the ... -
CHARACTERIZATION OF GAIT DEFICITS IN A MOUSE MODEL OF MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
(2017-09-15)Neurological deficits in mice subjected to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) are typically scored using a clinical scale (CS) with 5-10 levels of ascending paralysis and impaired gait. However, CS scoring is ... -
CHARACTERIZATION OF HB9 INTERNEURONS: BEHAVIOUR AND ANATOMY
(2017-05-11)Central pattern generators (CPGs) are neuronal circuits that are responsible for the generation of rhythmic behaviours such as locomotion. It has been suggested that a population of spinal interneurons (INs), known as Hb9 ... -
CHARACTERIZATION OF IRON-REGULATED PROTEINS AND THEIR TRANSCRIPTIONAL RESPONSE TO TRANSIENT IRON LEVELS IN THE OPEN OCEAN DIATOM THALASSIOSIRA OCEANICA
(2020-11-02)Iron-requiring proteins are essential for numerous cellular processes, but low iron concentrations limit algal growth in over 30% of the ocean’s surface waters. Iron-fertilization experiments induced diatom-dominated blooms, ... -
Characterization of Microbial Communities, Disinfection and Removal of Human Pathogenic Bacteria in Arctic Wastewater Stabilization Ponds
(2017-08-31)Municipal wastewater management in Arctic Canada is different than in Southern Canada, mostly due to climatic and infrastructural constraints. Most arctic communities use trucked sewage collection systems followed by ... -
Characterization of Na-Loaded Type II Si and Ge Clathrates: A Systematic Structure–Property Evaluation of Thermoelectric Materials
(2011-12-16)The present study aims to increase understanding of the physical processes that govern thermoelectric efficiency in Na-containing group 14 type II clathrates. This has been achieved through structural characterization and ... -
CHARACTERIZATION OF NANOCARBON-REINFORCED AND NEAT ADHESIVES IN BONDED SINGLE LAP JOINTS UNDER STATIC AND IMPACT LOADINGS
(2013-08-27)The effects of high loading rates (HLR), and nano reinforcement on the mechanical response of adhesively-bonded SLJs with composite adherends, subjected to different loading (strain) rates are systematically investigated. ... -
CHARACTERIZATION OF NOVEL 3D-PRINTED METAL SHIELDING FOR BRACHYTHERAPY APPLICATORS
(2023-08-28)Samples of 3D-printed stainless steel were embedded in a solid water phantom. An Ir-192 source was used to expose EBT3 Gafchromic film which were used to determine the samples’ shielding properties. Film was positioned in ... -
CHARACTERIZATION OF PEPTIDE FRACTIONS FROM ATLANTIC SALMON (Salmo salar) BY-PRODUCT FERMENTATE: EVALUATION OF COMPOSITION, STABILITY, SELECTIVITY AND RECOVERY DURING FRACTIONATION USING ELECTRO-ULTRAFILTRATION
(2023-02-27)Fish by-products are sources of biomolecules with nutritional value and functional applications in food ingredient manufacturing and human health. During microbial processing of salmon by-products, endogenous enzymes in ... -
CHARACTERIZATION OF Ribes nigrum L. FRUIT QUALITY IN RELATION TO FRUIT MATURITY, GENOTYPE AND GROWING LOCATION
(2015-05-01)Two separate studies were conducted on Prince Edward Island to determine how fruit cultivar and harvest timing can influence black currant berry quality during organic production. The overall goal of both studies was to ... -
Characterization of Sediment in the Salmon River Estuary
(2004)Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada located at 45 ° 21' north and 63 ° 16' west is at the head of Cobequid Bay on the Bay of Fundy which has some of the worlds highest tides and is known for its tidal bores. The purpose of this ... -
CHARACTERIZATION OF SOCIAL DEFICITS IN THE 5XFAD MOUSE MODEL OF ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE
(2019-11-28)The 5xFAD mouse strain is a double-transgenic Alzheimer’s disease (AD) model containing mutant APP (K670N/M671L, I716V, and V717I) and PS1 (M146L and L286V) genes. Mice expressing these mutations have rapid accumulation ...
