The Influence of an Ascophyllum Nodosum Seaweed Biostimulant on Interactions Between Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (Rhizophagus irregularis) and Medicago Truncatula
(2019-12-18)Seaweed biostimulants, such as the Ascophyllum nodosum extract (ANE) produced by Acadian Seaplants, are used globally to improve crop quality. The effects ANE have on soil microbial populations, and plant interactions with ... -
INFLUENCE OF BLENDED ELEMENTAL ALUMINUM AND TITANIUM-ALUMINUM MASTER ALLOY ADDITIONS ON THE SINTERING BEHAVIOUR OF TITANIUM – 6 ALUMINUM ALLOY
(2016-11-03)Despite their attractive properties Titanium alloys have limited use in automotive applications due to their high cost. Processing low-cost Ti powder sources through a blended elemental or master alloy powder metallurgy ... -
THE INFLUENCE OF BREASTFEEDING ON PAIN-RELATED EVENT-RELATED POTENTIALS AND BIO-BEHAVIOURAL INDICATORS OF PROCEDURAL PAIN IN NEWBORNS: A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL
(2019-08-02)Background: Breastfeeding and oral sucrose have strong evidence for reducing infant bio-behavioural responses to pain, however, no studies have compared the effect of these interventions on pain-related electrophysiologic ... -
Influence of bubbles on the water-leaving reflectance.
(Dalhousie University, 2002) -
THE INFLUENCE OF CARBON-OXYGEN SURFACE GROUPS AND A WATER-MISCIBLE PRIMARY ALCOHOL ON THE VOLTAMMETRIC DETECTION OF BOVINE HEMOGLOBIN IN AQUEOUS ELECTROLYTE USING CARBON ELECTRODES
(2017-10-31)This thesis focuses on the electrochemical reduction of bovine hemoglobin (BHb) using carbon electrode materials. Carbon materials are abundant and affordable, but have variable carbon-oxygen surface functional groups and ... -
The Influence of Colour on the Size-Weight Illusion: Redefining Expectation
(2010-09-02)A size-weight illusion (SWI) occurs when a large object and small object of equal mass but different volume are lifted and the small object is perceived as heavier than the large object. All previous studies of the SWI ... -
The influence of dietary fat concentration on fatty acid signatures and stable carbon isotopes of fatty acids in liver of Atlantic pollock (Pollachius virens)
(2015)A number of biomarker techniques have been employed to investigate animal diets, including analyses of fatty acid (FA) proportions and stable carbon isotopic signatures. Here, the influence of dietary FA concentrations on ... -
THE INFLUENCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS ON THE PROGRESSION OF HAPLOSPORIDIUM NELSONI (MSX) IN CRASSOSTREA VIRGINICA (AMERICAN OYSTER) ON CAPE BRETON ISLAND, NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA
(2019-08-29)In the late 1950s, oyster populations in the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays suffered mortality from the parasite, Haplosporidium nelsoni that is now present from Florida to Maine. In 2001 and 2002, H. nelsoni caused oyster ... -
Influence of Extrinsic Factors on Movements and Reproductive Success of Leach's Storm-Petrel (Oceanodroma leucorhoa).
(2017-03-03)Small pelagic seabirds are valuable indicators of changes in marine ecosystems because they range widely and feed at low trophic levels, and so respond rapidly to changes in ocean conditions. Globally, rapid climatic ... -
The influence of gender on appraisal of pain and pain coping strategies.
(Dalhousie University, 1996) -
Influence of generation time, gender and DNA damage on the mutation rate in seed plants.
(Dalhousie University, 2003) -
Influence of heterotrophic bacteria and other sub-micrometer particles on light scattering in the ocean.
(Dalhousie University, 1992) -
The influence of irradiance and genotype on the change in carbon allocation by four species of microalgae under increasing nutrient stress
(2012-12-11)During nutrient-replete growth of microalgae, new photosynthate is allocated toward three different biochemical pools: light harvesting compounds, the biosynthetic apparatus and energy storage. The mechanisms governing ... -
INFLUENCE OF LAND-USE INTENSITY ON SOIL NEMATODE COMMUNITIES AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO RHIZOCTONIA SOLANI DISEASE SUPPRESSION
(2020-09-01)ABSTRACT Soil organic matter (SOM) degradation linked to intensive management across PEI may negatively impact soil nematode communities and disease suppression. Soil nematode communities (Chapter 2), Rhizoctonia solani ... -
Influence of light regimen on the growth and toxicity of Alexandrium tamarense.
(Dalhousie University, 1995) -
Influence of loading and matrix stiffness on airway smooth muscle contractile function and phenotype within a 3D microtissue culture model
(2013-12-17)Airway remodeling characteristic of asthma involves structural changes altering the elasticity of the airway smooth muscle (ASM) microenvironment potentially leading to ASM dysfunction. This effect of matrix stiffness was ... -
Influence of model spatial resolution on simulated aerosol surface concentration
(2016-11-22)Fine particulate matter known as PM2.5 exists in Earth’s atmosphere at varying levels globally. High ambient concentrations of PM2.5 are associated with adverse health impacts, reduced visibility, and have a relatively ... -
Influence of phytoplankton communities on relationships between optical properties of coastal surface waters.
(Dalhousie University, 1999)
