MITOCHONDRIAL GENOME EVOLUTION IN THE DEEP-BRANCHING HETEROLOBOSEIDS AMOEBA ‘BB2’ AND PHARYNGOMONAS KIRBYI
(2017-09-15)Studies of mitochondrial genomes from diverse eukaryotes provide insights into how mitochondria evolved. Previous research revealed several evolutionarily interesting mitochondrial genomes in the taxon Discoba (Excavata), ... -
Mitochondrial genome organization, expression and evolution in the dinoflagellate Crypthecodinium cohnii.
(Dalhousie University, 2001) -
Mitochondrial Signaling and Bioenergetic Mechanisms that Regulate Neuronal Cell Death and Survival in Models of Ischemic Brain Injury
(2018-09-28)Mitochondrial collapse is considered a pivotal event in ischemic brain damage. Compounds that preserve mitochondrial function following an ischemic insult may thus protect the brain from stroke injury. Flavonoids are a ... -
A MIXED INTEGER MATHEMATICAL MODELLING FRAMEWORK FOR INVESTIGATING APPROACHES TO STRATEGIC FOREST NETWORK CAPACITY DESIGN
(2016-04-08)Different elements in the forest industry, such as available forest resources, manufacturing plants and mills, and potential customers constitute links in a value chain. Strategic forest network design deals with optimizing ... -
Mixing Scheduled Patients with Walk-In Patients at Collaborative Emergency Centres
(2017-12-15)The Collaborative Emergency Centre (CEC) care model was initiated by the Nova Scotia Department of Health and Wellness in 2010. The CEC model of care appears to be a promising way to reorganize and improve emergency care ... -
Mi’kmaw Relational Values: Lessons for environmental valuation from Indigenous literatures and L’nuwey along the Bay of Fundy coast
(2023-03-13)The Mi’kmaq are a First Nation whose traditional, unceded, and contemporary territories, called Mi’kma’ki, are situated in the eastern regions of Turtle Island (North America). L’nuwey, generally meaning the way Mi’kmaq ... -
MOBILE FOCUS + CONTEXT: EXPLORING THE COMBINATION OF LARGE OVERVIEWS WITH HIGH-RESOLUTION DETAILS IN DYNAMIC, MOBILE WORK ENVIRONMENTS
(2016-04-27)This thesis explores the concept of Mobile Focus + Context (mF+C)- using a phone to view details of content shown on a mobile projected display. A mobile phone and portable projector can be combined to give a truly mobile ... -
Mobile Robot Path Planning Using Genetic Algorithm Global Path PLANNING and Potential Field Path Adjusting
(2017-05-08)The purpose of this thesis was to develop an algorithm which solves the path planning problem for a two-wheeled mobile robot. The algorithm included multiple robots within it. The algorithm was developed by first identifying ... -
A MOBILE ROLE BASED ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM USING IDENTITY BASED ENCRYPTION WITH NON-INTERACTIVE ZERO KNOWLEDGE PROOF OF AUTHENTICATION
(2012-04-05)Controlled access to confidential information and resources is a critical element in security systems. Role based access control (RBAC) has gained widespread usage in modern enterprise systems. Extensions have been proposed ... -
