Identfying Adolescents' Perceptions of the Facilitators and Barriers to the Promotion of Healthy Sexuality of Adolescents of Prince Edward Island
(2011-09-06)According to several studies, there have been improvements in adolescent sexual behaviour; declining adolescent pregnancies, fewer adolescents having more than one sexual partner, and an increasing numbers of adolescents ... -
IDENTIFCATION OF ROBUST BIOMARKERS USING MICROBIOME DNA SEQUENCING WITH A FOCUS ON THE ORAL MICROBIOME AND CANCER ASSOCIATIONS
(2022-12-15)High-depth sequencing of universal marker genes such as the 16S rRNA gene is a common strategy to profile microbial communities. Traditionally, sequence reads are clustered into operational taxonomic units (OTUs) at a ... -
Identification and Aspects of Commercial Production of Anti-Diabetic Peptide(s) from Salmon Protein Hydrolysates
(2020-11-23)A low molecular weight (< 1 kDa) hydrolysate of Atlantic salmon protein has previously been shown to have anti-diabetic effects in vitro and in mouse models. This salmon peptide fraction (SPF) produced using the enzymes ... -
Identification and characterization of an operon affecting detachment of Streptococcus mutans from biofilms.
(Dalhousie University, 2000) -
Identification and characterization of NOS1APc interacting proteins
(2013-09-09)The current study characterizes novel interacting proteins for the neuronal nitric oxide synthase 1 adaptor protein (NOS1AP) isoform NOS1APc. NOS1APc is a 100kDa isoform of NOS1AP (herein NOS1APa) that contains a unique ... -
IDENTIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PROMYELOCYTIC LEUKEMIA (PML)-ISOFORM 1 SPECIFIC PROTEIN-PROTEIN INTERACTIONS
(2012-09-11)Loss of the promyelocytic leukemia (PML) protein is associated with genomic instability/cancer. There are several isoforms of the PML protein that localize in PML nuclear bodies (PML NBs). How each individual isoform ... -
Identification and Characterization of SdbA, a Novel Thiol-Disulfide Oxidoreductase in Streptococcus gordonii
(2017-04-03)Disulfide bonds are important for the stability of certain extracellular proteins, including bacterial virulence factors. Thiol disulfide oxidoreductases (TDORs) catalyze disulfide bond formation. Although these enzymes ... -
Identification and Characterization of Substrates for the Arabidopsis thaliana RING-type E3 Ligases XBAT32 and KEG
(2016-08-18)The ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) challenges transcription as the primary regulatory mechanism in the plant kingdom, influencing many cellular processes by selectively degrading proteins. E3 ubiquitin ligases are the ... -
Identification and characterization of swarming sites used by bats in Nova Scotia
(2011-09-06)For insectivorous bats living in temperate areas such as Nova Scotia, underground sites are a critical resource for over-wintering, as well as for swarming in the late summer and early fall, which is when mating occurs. ... -
IDENTIFICATION AND MANIPULATION OF KEY REGULATORS IN LACE PLANT PROGRAMMED CELL DEATH
(2017-06-19)The lace plant (Aponogeton madagascariensis) is an aquatic monocot species that has emerged as a model for studying developmental programmed cell death (PCD). In multicellular eukaryotes, PCD plays vital roles in development ... -
IDENTIFICATION OF AMINO ACIDS INVOLVED IN THE MOONLIGHTING FUNCTIONS OF HTPB, THE LEGIONELLA PNEUMOPHILA CHAPERONIN
(2016-09-12)Chaperonin 60s (Cpn60s) and their cognate co-chaperonin 10s (Cpn10s) are highly conserved housekeeping proteins that provide favorable conditions for the correct folding of other proteins. The Cpn60/10 of Escherichia coli ... -
"Identification of Chromosomal Locations in Potatoes Associated with Tuberization Related Traits Affected by Photoperiod Using SNP Markers"
(2016-04-08)Developing potato varieties adapted to diverse environmental conditions requires an understanding of tuberization related traits. Many of these traits are affected by photoperiod. This study identified genetic markers ... -
IDENTIFICATION OF DISEASE REACTION OF 11 CAMELINA SATIVA GENOTYPES TO DOWNY MILDEW (PERONOSPORA PARASITICA) AND INVESTIGATION OF STRATEGIES FOR ITS CONTROL
(2009-12-21)The SEM observation revealed that Peronospora parasitica started to germinate and finish direct penetration between 4 hours and 8 hours after inoculation. Conidiophores were observed growing out through stomata 1 week after ... -
Identification of Factors Regulating Cytoplasmic and Nuclear Lipid Droplets
(2021-01-07)Lipid droplets (LDs) are cellular metabolic energy reservoirs composed of a neutral lipid core of triglycerides (TG) and cholesterol esters (CE) that is surrounded by a surface monolayer of phospholipids and embedded ... -
Identification of high-frequency periodic acoustic tags with deep learning
(2021-07-30)Marine life researchers use the concept of fish tracking to determine the activity andbehaviour of fish. It allows the researchers to recognize the valuable biological andphysical support systems required by fish species ... -
