An Investigation of the Auditory Mismatch Negativity Elicited by Complex Stimuli in Early-Phase Psychosis
(2019-08-30)Introduction: Reduction of mismatch-negativity (MMN) has been well characterized in individuals with chronic schizophrenia. However, there is a lack of MMN research in early-phase psychosis (EPP). We investigated MMN ... -
Investigation of the corrosion behaviour of electroless nickel-boron and nickel-phosphorus coatings in basic solutions.
(Dalhousie University, 2002) -
Investigation of the Effect of Speed Ratio on Workpiece Surface Topography in Cylindrical Plunge Grinding using Grooved and Non-Grooved Grinding Wheels
(2019-04-30)This work explores the effect of integer and non-integer speed ratios on surface topography in cylindrical plunge grinding with grooved and non-grooved grinding wheels. For this investigation, an extensive experimental ... -
Investigation of the Energetic Performance of an Attached Solar Greenhouse through Monitoring and Simulation
(2019-03-18)In Canada, energy costs represent a significant portion of the overall operating cost of greenhouses. This energy is mostly consumed in winter to satisfy the heating requirement of greenhouses. Therefore, it is essential ... -
Investigation of the Mixing Energy Consumption Affecting Coagulation and Floc Aggregation
(2016-08-11)Energy is an essential commodity invariably used for proper performance of major processes used in municipal water treatment. This research was primarily driven by the potential rise in energy demand in the water sector. ... -
AN INVESTIGATION OF THE NUCLEAR LIPID ASSOCIATED PROMYELOCYTIC LEUKEMIA (PML) STRUCTURES (LAPS) PROTEOME USING BIOTIN PROXIMITY LABELLING
(2022-08-30)Fatty acids are stored in triacyl glycerides or cholesterol esters in lipid droplets (LDs). While most LDs are cytoplasmic, there are also nuclear lipid droplets (nLDs) that associate with promyelocytic leukemia (PML) ... -
An investigation of the oceanic source of methyl chloride.
(Dalhousie University, 1995) -
Investigation of the relationship between negative thermal expansion and other thermal properties of framework oxides.
(Dalhousie University, 2005) -
An investigation of the role of cytosolic superoxide dismutase (SOD1) on the C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4)-mediated signal transduction in prostate cancer cells
(2014-09-10)Prostate cancer (PCa) is associated with high rates of cancer spread, or metastasis, the process that accounts for up to 90% of cancer-related deaths. CXCR4, a chemokine G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), and its ligand ... -
Investigation of the Sintering Fundamentals of Magnesium Powders
(2011-05-06)Magnesium and its alloys are attractive for use in automotive and aerospace applications because of their low density and good mechanical properties. However, difficulty in forming magnesium and the limited number of ... -
An Investigation of the Socioeconomic Gradient of Physical Capability Among Older Adults Using the Canadian Longitudinal Study On Aging (CLSA)
(2023-04-14)Background: Understanding health inequalities among older adults is important as Canada’s population ages. Health outcomes and health inequalities deteriorate with age, with income-related heath inequalities in Canada ... -

INVESTIGATION OF THE TEST CHARACTERISTICS OF TWO SCREENING TOOLS IN COMPARISON TO A GOLD STANDARD ASSESSMENT TO DETECT DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY: A PILOT STUDY
(2011-09-06)There is minimal information available regarding test characteristics of the Rourke and the NDDS, two tools commonly used to screen for developmental delay. The objectives are to (a) generate preliminary descriptive data ... -
Investigation of the Use of Smartphone Applications for Trip Planning and Travel Outcome
(2016-08-29)This study explored how smartphone applications are used for trip planning and how they influence travel outcomes. The study used data from ‘Smartphone Use and Travel Choice Survey - 2015’ conducted in Halifax, Canada. An ... -
AN INVESTIGATION OF TRENDS IN CARBONACEOUS AEROSOLS OVER NORTH AMERICA
(2013-08-27)A long term (1989-2008) decreasing trend in black carbon and organic carbon surface concentrations is indicated by insitu measurements (IMPROVE) in the United States in winter months. The observed percent negative trend ... -
Investigation of two Arabidopsis RING-type E3 ligases, KEG and XBAT32.
(2014-12-11)E3 ubiquitin ligases are a family of proteins that facilitate the covalent attachment of ubiquitin onto target proteins. Protein activity, function, and stability are influenced by ubiquitination and consequently ubiquitination ... -
Investigation of Undersea Sour Gas Well Blowouts using Multiphase Computational Fluid Dynamics
(2019-11-28)The production of natural gas requires the removal of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide during processing, resulting in a waste stream typically called acid gas. In offshore natural gas production, the disposal of these ... -
