S100A10 FACILITATES THE TUMOR PROMOTING ASSOCIATION OF MACROPHAGES WITH TUMOR CELLS
(2012-11-20)Hematopoietic cells are recruited to and co-opted by the growing tumor making expansive tumor growth possible. Although several cell types become associated with the growing tumor, macrophages play a fundamental role. The ... -
Sable Island National Park: Design with a Dynamic Ecosystem
(2014-04-04)To design with a changing ecosystem requires examining and understanding site dynamics, extracting guidelines for making architectural decisions and defi ning processes that allow for change. Sable Island National Park is ... -
Sacred Landscape: Division and Convergence Between Past and Progress
(2013-08-13)This thesis proposes a design for the Rossdale Flats that pays homage to its various pasts and usages. It does so in a manner that offers pertinent interpretations to current issues facing the site and region that can also ... -
SAFE GAME OF COMPETITIVE DIFFUSION
(2014-04-03)Competitive Diffusion is a recently introduced game-theoretic model for the spread of information through social networks. The model is a game on a graph with external players trying to reach the most vertices. In this ... -
Safety, Efficacy And Satisfaction Among Surgeons And Patients Of Propofol Only For Procedural Sedation During The Extraction Of Third Molars
(2014-04-01)Propofol has been gaining increased attention as a sole agent in providing procedural sedation due to its predictable pharmacokinetics and favorable amnestic properties. Oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures are unique ... -
SafetyNET-Rx: Insights and Lessons Learned From a Pilot Project
(2012-12-11)Medication errors are under-reported in community pharmacies, thereby reducing the opportunities for creating solutions and jeopardizing patient safety. This research identified challenges and facilitators of medication ... -
Salt tectonics of the Abenaki Graben and central Sable Subbasin: insights from regional seismic interpretation and 4D scaled physical experiments
(2015-04-13)The tectono-stratigraphic evolution of the Abenaki graben and central Sable Subbasin of the north-central Scotian margin has been highly influenced by salt deformation. Shimeld (2004) has identified five salt subprovinces ... -
Sampling Discrete Combinatorial Spaces in Phylogenetics
(2015-04-28)Phylogenetics is the study and identification of evolutionary structure, and phylogeneticists often present evolutionary inferences as leaf-labelled trees. We investigate the combinatorial nature of phylogenetic tree ... -
Sappho's Aesthetics
The lyric poet Sappho wrote her poems in the service of Aphrodite, favouring themes of love and beauty. While scholars have frequently discussed the priority of desire (eros) within her poetry, analysis of beauty qua beauty ... -
Satellite Retrievals of Total Column Water Vapour and Surface Emissivity During Arctic Winter
A new water vapour column retrieval using passive microwave satellite measurements is presented for use during the Arctic winter. The retrieval, named PLDC16 (Perro Lesins Duck Cadeddu 2016), uses measurements at the strong ... -
A SCALABLE FRAMEWORK FOR AIS DATA ANALYSIS AND VISUALISATION
Maritime traffic data is an important resource to understand vessel activities. Several topics, such as maritime traffic anomaly detection, have been widely studied. With the increase in the number of vessels, location, ... -
Scalable QoS and QoS management models for IP networks.

Scalable real-time OLAP systems for the cloud
(2014-08-18)On-line Analytical processing (OLAP) has been an important approach to the analysis of large structured data warehouse systems for many years. OLAP queries, in contrast to On-line Transaction Processing (OLTP) queries that ... -
Scale-based Exploded Views: Evaluating Object Selection Methods on Mobile Devices
(2014-08-18)Many 3D exploded view diagrams are too expensive for use on relatively low powered mobile devices, particularly for large models. In this thesis, we evaluate a low-complexity scale-based 3D exploded view method that is ... -
Scaling Genetic Programming to Challenging Reinforcement Tasks through Emergent Modularity
Algorithms that learn through environmental interaction and delayed rewards, or reinforcement learning, increasingly face the challenge of scaling to dynamic, high-dimensional environments. Video games model these types ... -
Scaling Limits for Partial Sums of Power Series
In this thesis it will be shown that the partial sums of the Maclaurin series for a certain class of entire functions possess scaling limits in various directions in the complex plane. In doing so we obtain information ... -
Scaling up to food webs: Effects of temperature on structure and function along a latitudinal gradient
(2010-09-09)Global warming will affect every level of biological organization from the metabolism of individuals to the functioning of ecosystems. I explored the effects of warming on three rock-pool meioinvertebrate communities along ...
