Effects of an Aquaculture Fish Farm on the Sediment Geochemistry of a Naturally Anoxic Basin
(2023-08-01)The Whycocomagh Basin, located in the Bras d’Or Lakes, Nova Scotia, is a naturally deep and anoxic basin that presently houses a Steelhead Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) aquaculture farm operated as an economic resource by ... -
EFFECTS OF APEX ANGLE VARIATION ON FLOW DEVELOPMENT IN JETS ISSUING FROM DIFFERENT ISOSCELES TRIANGULAR ORIFICES
(2011-08-10)Isothermal, incompressible jets of air issuing from sharp-edged isosceles triangular orifices with apex angles of 10°, 20°, 30°, 70° and 160° into still surrounding air, were used to study the effects of apex angle variation ... -
The Effects of Beta-Adrenergic Drugs on Proliferation and Differentiation of Mid-Gestation Ventricular Cells and Their Impact on Donor Cell Transplantation
(2016-11-01)Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Cell transplantation therapy is emerging as a method for regeneration of the heart muscle cells (cardiomyocytes) lost during disease. Despite several advances in cell ... -
The Effects of Beta-Adrenergic Receptor Signalling on Ventricular Conduction System Cell Development
(2021-08-31)Myocardial regenerative treatments with cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) have been emerging as viable treatment options for myocardial injury. CPCs have the potential to differentiate into working cardiomyocytes and conduction ... -
The Effects of Calcium Channel Blockade and Atrial Natriuretic Peptide Signalling on Proliferation and Differentiation of Cardiac Progenitor Cells
(2013-08-23)Cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) are abundant in the embryonic heart and have hallmark features which include a rapid rate of cell division and the ability to differentiate into mature heart muscle cells (cardiomyocytes). ... -
Effects of cannabinoid agonists in the mammalian eye.
(Dalhousie University, 2005) -
The Effects of Canola (Brassica napus) and Juncea (Brassica juncea) Meals in Diets on Broilers and Turkeys
(2013-04-30)Canola and juncea meals can be used in poultry diets instead of soybean meal. The meals were fed to broilers and turkeys in digestibility trials to measure the apparent metabolizable energy (AMEn). Throughout growth trials, ... -

(Dalhousie University, 1994) -
The Effects of Childhood Adversity on Anxiety in People with Mood Disorders
(2023-08-24)Mood and anxiety disorders are among the leading causes of disability worldwide. Both childhood adversity and the presence of an anxiety disorder contribute to unfavorable outcomes for those who have mood disorders. The ... -
Effects of cholecystokinin and cholecystokinin antagonists on isolation-induced ultrasonic vocalizations in rat pups.
(Dalhousie University, 2004) -
Effects of chronic sleep restriction on blood vessel density in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus in rats
(2016-12-06)Increased blood vessel density could increase the efficiency of the glymphatic system which removes waste from the brain. This study tested the hypothesis that chronic sleep restriction (CSR) increases blood vessel density ... -
Effects of CIDR and eCG with estradiol-17β or estradiol cypionate on the follicular wave emergence synchronization in seasonally anestrous ewes
(2021-05-20)Estrous, hormonal, and ovarian responses in anestrous ewes treated with different synchronization treatments were evaluated. Fourteen Texel ewes received controlled-internal-drug-releasing devices (CIDR) on Day -12 and eCG ... -
Effects Of Climate Change On Wind Loading For Structural Design
(2021-03-25)Structural design requirements need to be updated to account for the projected increases in the frequency and intensity of extreme wind events due to climate change. This study investigates the effects of climate change ... -
Effects of Cover Crops on the Soil Microbiome and Carry Over Impact on FRCR in Barely and Soybean
(2022-01-10)This study explored the influence that different cover crops have on the soil microbiome (Chapter 2) and the impact on Fusarium root and crown rot (FRCR) of barley and soybean (Chapter 3). Field trials were conducted with ... -
