Maternal Fitness Consequences of Different Causative Agents of Offspring Mortality in Early Life
(2010-12-15)Maternal effects can be key determinants of female fitness through their influence on early life survival. In salmonids, three main sources of mortality in early life can be attributed to redd superimposition, predation, ... -
Maternal Influenza Vaccination and the Effect of Provincial Immunization Programs in Canada
(2015)With evidence suggesting the importance of influenza vaccination of pregnant women, Canadian provinces have started to implement different publicly funded immunization programs to encourage vaccination of pregnant women. ... -
Maternal Microbes: The Effects of Probiotic Treatment on Maternal Care Behaviour, Inflammation and Offspring Stress Outcomes
(2019-08-16)Active maternal care is vital in offspring stress programming, yet the behaviour of a mother towards her offspring can also be influenced by her external environment. It is essential to understand what impacts maternal ... -
Maternal mood and child adjustment problems: Mutual risk and resilience.
(Dalhousie University, 2003) -
MATERNAL SENSITIVITY WITH THEIR INFANTS: THE ROLE OF EMOTION STATES, FATIGUE, AND INFANT ENGAGEMENT
(2013-08-26)Early sensitive caregiver (typically mother)-infant interactions form an important foundation for infant development. When sensitive, mothers behave with the apparent goal to keep their infants happy and engaged. Mutual ... -
A mathematical analysis of the regulation of ribosomes synthesis and activity, and its effect on bacterial growth rate.
(Dalhousie University, 1990) -
Mathematical simulation of propagated electrical excitation in the human ventricular myocardium.

Matheuristic methods for solving the multi-calendar naval surface ship work period problem
(2023-07-07)This thesis deals with the development of a binary integer programming (BIP) model and novel matheuristics to solve the naval surface ship work period problem (NSWPP) with multi-calendar activities and resources, multiple ... -
Matheuristic Optimization Approaches for Large Scale Resource Constrained Scheduling Problems in Refit Operations
(2021-09-14)This thesis will discuss the development of matheuristic methods for scheduling the refit activities in the naval surface ship work period problem (NSWPP). The NSWPP is a variant of the classical resource-constrained project ... -
A Matrix-based Visual Analytics approach for the Analysis of Association Rules
(2021-04-20)With a large amount of data, many data mining techniques have contributed to the extraction of useful information from the data. The generated information, if interpreted correctly results in a huge benefit for the user. ... -
Matter and the One in Proclus
(2018-08-27)The purpose of this thesis is to describe the relation between matter and the One in the philosophy of Proclus, and to discover how, by their relation, all things exist. The difficulty of this task is that matter and the ... -
MAXIMAL AND CONVEX LAYERS OF RANDOM POINT SETS
(2017-10-31)This thesis studies two well-known geometric structures in computational geometry: maximal points and convex hull. Extending the concepts to multiple maximal and convex layers is natural. We study the maximal and convex ... -
Maximizing Proteome Recovery and Digestion Efficiency for High-Throughput Bottom-up Mass Spectrometry
(2022-12-16)With current mass spectrometry and bioinformatics platforms, proteome analysis is at the forefront of characterizing complex biological systems. Through deep qualitative coverage combined with precise quantitation, proteomics ... -
Maximizing Real-Time Distribution of Wind-Electricity to Electrical Thermal Storage Units for Residential Space Heating
(2011-09-06)Wind-electricity is unpredictable in both intensity and duration. This thesis presents the design and implementation of Client-pull and Server-push architectures for the distribution of wind-electricity to Electrical Thermal ... -
Maximum likelihood approach to diet estimation and inference based on fatty acid signatures
(2020-11-24)Diet compositions of marine predators are often of interest for marine ecologists in trophic structure studies where non-lethal sampling has created a need for non-invasive diet estimation techniques. Methods using fatty ... -

Männliches und Weibliches in Goethes West-östlichem Divan
(2010-09-10)German literary scholarship took a turn towards cultural inquiry in the 1970s, and the works of Johann Wolfgang Goethe were re-examined in this light. However, in relation to Goethe’s poetry, a number of questions about ... -
MCRWPT Design Through Analog Filter Theory
(2020-09-01)Magnetically-Coupled Resonant Wireless Power Transfer (MCRWPT) is an emerging technology and the subject of extensive research. Existing research is primarily focused on improving the magnetic coupling properties of the ... -
ME-IDS: An Ensemble Transfer Learning Framework Based on Misclassified Samples for Intrusion Detection Systems
(2023-12-01)In our digitally interconnected world, the demand for robust security measures has become increasingly apparent, given the escalating threat of cyberattacks on the Internet. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) have emerged ...
