INVESTIGATING SKILL ACQUISITION IN THE ABSENCE OF PHYSICAL PRACTICE: MOTOR IMAGERY-BASED SKILL ACQUISITION AND THE ROLE OF THE INFERIOR PARIETAL LOBULE
(2015)Motor imagery (MI), the mental rehearsal of movement, is a useful adjunct to physical practice (PP) in numerous domains and shows promise for post-stroke rehabilitation. However, it is unknown if MI alone can produce robust ... -
Investigating Skilled Reading in School-Aged Children: An EEG Study
(2018-08-14)There exist conceptual gaps between the behavioural and electrophysiological accounts of skilled reading development that limit the ability to interpret them cohesively. The goal of this study was to bridge these gaps and ... -
Investigating Sources of Elevated Lead in Drinking Water
(2013-05-29)Lead exposure poses as a risk factor for various adverse health effects including intellectual delays, reduced IQ, and behavioural problems in children, as well as cognitive decline in adults. Lead enters drinking water ... -
Investigating sources of stream chloride near Kejimkujik National Park, southwestern Nova Scotia: A chlorine stable isotope approach
(2010-09-15)Chlorine stable isotope analysis (?37Cl ) means of stream water (- 0.95 ‰, n = 22), rainwater (- 1.51 ‰, n = 12), fog water (- 1.08 ‰, n = 7) and silicate mineral bound chloride (+ 0.13 ‰, n = 3) are used in an isotope ... -
Investigating student exposure to Mi'kmaq Traditional Knowledge through Dalhousie University courses
(2024-04)The implementation of Indigenous Traditional Knowledge (TK) is important because it can improve social, economic, and environmental sustainability across the world (Spee et al., 2021) and can enhance student learning. In ... -
Investigating Student Perspectives on Dalhousie’s Fossil Fuel Investments
(2023-04)Global warming has been increasingly worsening over the last several decades, with fossil fuels being the leading cause of climate change. Large businesses and educational institutions still invest billions of dollars into ... -
Investigating Student Satisfaction of Food Security Services at Dalhousie University
(2023-04)This paper aims to determine the level of satisfaction Dalhousie University students associate with free food security services on campus. With food prices and the rates of food insecurity increasing, it was important for ... -
INVESTIGATING STUDENT-RUN CO-OPERATIVES IN NORTH AMERICA
(2009-04)The goal of the Dalhousie Student Food Co-op Initiative is to establish a student-run food cooperative on Dalhousie‟s Studley Campus. Currently, all food choices on Studley Campus are managed by corporate food service ... -
Investigating Sustainability Professors’ Conceptualizations of Sustainability and Sustainable Universities at Dalhousie University
(2011-04)The consumption of renewable and non-renewable resources has increased across the globe since the industrial revolution, largely due to a growing human population. This rapid expenditure of resources has several negative ... -
INVESTIGATING TARGETED DRIVER MUTATIONS AND PD-L1 EXPRESSION FOR IMPROVED THERAPY OF NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER
(2021-02-22)Most lung cancer patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage, limiting their treatment options to chemotherapy. New therapies that target driver gene mutations, are used to treat patients who have tumours with these ... -
Investigating the 13C Suess effect in the northwestern North Atlantic
(2018-10-23)The carbon isotope signature (δ13C) of atmospheric CO2 has decreased as a direct result of anthropogenic CO2 emissions since the industrial revolution. This climate phenomenon has been termed the 13C Suess effect, and can ... -
Investigating the Antioxidant Effects of a Commercial Sunflower Derived Lecithin and Phosphatidylserine
(2015)The search for natural antioxidants for use in food and nutritional supplements led to an in-depth investigation into the antioxidant effect of a commercial sunflower derived lecithin (CSL), consisting of high levels of ... -
