Development of micro-machined planar manipulators.
(Dalhousie University, 2004) -
Development of Microscale Immunoassays using Aqueous Two-Phase Systems
(2021-10-15)Aqueous two-phase systems (ATPSs) have been traditionally applied in liquid-liquid extraction processes to purify and recover biological products. Due to their high biocompatibility, easy handling, and potential to be ... -
Development of molecular tools to evaluate colonization factors of Helicobacter pylori.
(Dalhousie University, 2007) -
The Development of Moral Foundations in 2- and 4-Year-Olds
(2020-09-01)This dissertation examined moral development in children using Moral Foundations Theory (MFT) as a guiding framework. MFT states that there are several moral ‘foundations’, or areas in which we may hold moral values and ... -
THE DEVELOPMENT OF MORALITY IN AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER
(2022-06-16)Morality helps guide behaviour and facilitates relationships. Autism spectrum disorder (autism) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by differences in social-communication skills and repetitive or inflexible ... -
The development of movement patterns during swimming in the CNS myelin deficient jimpy mouse.
(Dalhousie University, 1996) -
Development of NDT to detect corrosion in automobile tires
(2021-12-15)In the present work, various induction thermographic techniques have been tested to detect corrosion traces over embedded steel wire in cooked rubber (simulating bead wires condition in automobile tires). Accordingly, ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF NECTIN-4-TARGETING ONCOLYTIC MEASLES VIROTHERAPY FOR THE TREATMENT OF BREAST AND LIVER CANCERS
(2021-07-27)Oncolytic viruses (OVs) are a rapidly emerging treatment platform for various types of cancer that offers several advantages over conventional anticancer therapeutics, including selectivity, potency, and targeted cell ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF NONLINEAR FINITE DIFFERENCE MODEL FOR CHLORIDE DIFFUSION IN CONCRETE
(2016-07-06)Owing to problems associated with chloride-induced corrosion, the reliable prediction of chloride ingress into concrete is one of the key elements of the durability design and redesign of concrete structures exposed to ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF NOVEL 2 DOF THERMAL MICRO ACTUATORS AND A COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT DISPLACEMENT MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES
(2011-08-12)This thesis examines the development and testing of a novel 2 DOF (Degrees of Freedom) thermal actuator using Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology. A out-of-plane displacement measurement technique based ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF NOVEL ELECTRODE/ELECTROLYTE SYSTEMS FOR A LI-ION CELL WITH HIGHER ENERGY DENSITY AND LONGER LIFETIME
(2018-12-04)The energy density of lithium ion cells can increase when the charge cut-off potential increases or high Ni content positive electrode materials are used. However, this normally decreases the lifetime of cells because of ... -
THE DEVELOPMENT OF SAMPLE PREPARATION METHODS INVOLVING DETERGENTS FOR ANALYSIS OF MEMBRANE PROTEINS BY MASS SPECTROMETRY
(2013-12-23)Appropriate solubilization of membrane proteins can be achieved by incorporating detergents such as sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Unfortunately, SDS interferes with liquid chromatography (LC) and mass spectrometry (MS). ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF SENSING SYSTEM BASED ON FOLIAR SPECTRAL REFLECTANCE TO ESTIMATE NUTRIENTS IN POTATO PLANTS
(2024-04-15)In this research project, a sensing system based on spectroscopy was developed to offer a solution to the problem of slow and tedious method of understanding the status of nutrients in potato plants using chemical tissue ... -
Development of Simultaneous Multi-Radionuclide Imaging with a Novel SiPM-based Preclinical SPECT Scanner
(2023-12-14)Multi-radionuclide single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is becoming increasingly important in nuclear medicine investigations for radiopharmaceutical drug development and procedural advancement. Crosstalk is ... -
Development of Statistical and Mass Balance Approaches for Assessing and Predicting Chloride Concentrations in Halifax Lakes
(2022-12-08)Lake chloride concentrations ([Cl]) in Halifax and other urban centres where road salt is used is a growing environmental issue. This thesis used Cl data available seasonally from 57 Halifax lakes to model lake [Cl] using ... -
Development of Techniques for Removal of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate for Enhanced Protein Identification and Characterization
(2011-12-13)Mass spectrometry is a powerful tool employed in proteomics; however, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), a surfactant used for protein solubilization, is known to cause severe interference at concentrations greater than 0.01%. ... -
