FISCAL, SOCIAL, AND SILVICULTURAL STATE FORESTRY IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY ENGLAND, c. 1600-1700
(2020-08-12)In early modern England, wood supplies were fundamental to the existence of the state which relied on woodland both to generate revenue and to build naval capacity. This study examines how state forestry began to be practiced ... -
FISETIN, A FLAVONOID, INDUCES CELL CYCLE ARREST AND APOPTOSIS IN HUMAN BREAST CANCER CELLS
(2013-05-01)Significant morbidity and mortality continues to be associated with breast cancer and its treatments. Fisetin, a phytochemical that is present in many fruits and vegetables, has demonstrated anticancer activity. My research ... -
Fish and Fuel: Life cycle greenhouse gas emissions associated with Icelandic cod, Alaskan pollock, and Alaskan pink salmon fillets delivered to the United Kingdom.
(2010-09-07)Seafood is a global commodity of growing importance. The present study examined contributions to global warming from three significant seafood product chains. Each of these systems were relatively fuel efficient compared ... -
Fish Tales: Loss of STAG2 Promotes Migration of Ewing Sarcoma
(2019-11-28)Ewing sarcoma (EwS) is a bone and soft tissue cancer affecting children and adolescents. The most unfavorable prognostic factor of EwS is the presence of metastasis, however this process is still poorly understood. Therefore, ... -
The Fish We Feed Fish: An Evaluation Of Primary Production Requirements And Greenhouse Gas Emissions Of Reduction Fisheries In The Age Of Sustainable Boundaries
(2015)Human society has placed substantial demands on the limited natural environment through increasing resource use and waste production. One of the greatest demands is the increasing appetite for animal-based food products. ... -
Fit over Function: Explaining the Differences in US Strategic Approaches Towards China and Russia in the Post-Cold War Era
(2023-09-19)Fostering cooperative relations with Russia and China were major goals of the US in the post-Cold War era, but these relationships proceeded down very different trajectories. Russia was largely excluded from the predominant ... -
Fit Performance and Responsiveness of Ice Hockey Goaltender Leg Pads
(2022-08-31)Ice hockey goaltenders wear large leg pads that protect them and allow them to adopt common save positions like the butterfly. Leg pad models use different constructions to make pads stiff or flexible. The purpose of this ... -
Fitness consequences of hybridization between ecotypes of Avena barbata.
(Dalhousie University, 2004) -
Fitness of Listeria monocytogenes and Other Listeria Species Isolated from Two Nova Scotia Watersheds
(2016-12-16)Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen known to colonize surfaces, form antimicrobial-resistant biofilms, and resist environmental stresses such as desiccation, helping it persist in food processing environments. ... -

Fixed nitrogen dynamics and heterocyst patterning in filamentous heterocystous cyanobacteria
(2012-08-22)Cyanobacteria are prokaryotes that can grow photoautotrophically using oxygenic photosynthesis. Some filamentous cyanobacteria in media with insufficient fixed nitrogen develop a regular pattern of heterocyst cells that ... -
Fixed-Parameter Algorithm for Hybridization Number of Two Multifurcating Trees
(2014-08-21)Phylogenetic trees are used to represent the evolution of a set of species. However, this history may include reticulation events where taxa acquire genes from more than one ancestor or from contemporaries, which leads to ... -

FLANNERY O'CONNOR, TENNESSEE WILLIAMS, AND SHIRLEY JACKSON: CRAFTING POSTWAR MATERNITY AS CULTURAL NIGHTMARE
(2021-01-07)This dissertation argues that Flannery O’Connor, Tennessee Williams, and Shirley Jackson all employ gothic representations of maternity, what Madelon Sprengnether calls “the spectral mother,” in their gothic works. Through ... -
The Flavonoid Apigenin Inhibits Inducible Programmed Death Ligand 1 Expression by Breast Cancer Cells
(2018-02-12)Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) is a T cell inhibitory molecule expressed by activated T cells and antigen presenting cells, as well as by various tumor types. PD-L1 expression is believed to contribute to immune evasion ... -
