Philosophical Platonism: Plato and the Problems of Philosophy
(2015)In this thesis, I seek to provide an account of the function of philosophical practice as it arose in Classical Greece with the work of Plato. In Chapter 1, I argue for the plausibility of engaging in metaphilosophical ... -
The Philosophy and Physics of Relationality and Inherent Nature: Shunyata and Svabhava in Madhyamaka Buddhist Philosophy, Western Analytic Metaphysics, Philosophy of Science and Physics
(2013-04-16)Proponents of Middle Way (Sanskrit: Madhyamaka) Buddhist philosophy argue that all phenomena lack inherent nature. This dissertation provides an analysis of the meaning of inherent nature and the lack of inherent nature ... -
PHLORIDZIN DOCOSAHEXAENOATE INDUCES CYTOTOXIC EFFECTS IN HUMAN LEUKEMIC CELLS
(2017-06-01)Polyphenols have potential as pharmacological adjuvants to overcome some clinical challenges that arise in leukemia management. The efficacy of polyphenols can be enhanced by acylation with fatty acids. In this study, the ... -
PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE BIOSYNTHESIS IS INVOLVED IN AUTOPHAGY REGULATION IN RAS-TRANSFORMED INTESTINAL EPITHELIAL CELLS
(2018-01-05)Ras oncogene increased CTP-phosphocholine cytidyltransferase α (CCTα) expression and phosphatidylcholine (PC) biosynthesis that were required for cell proliferation and survival. Ras-transformed intestinal epithelial cells ... -

Phosphorus Removal in Passive Cold Region Waste Stabilization Ponds
(2016-08-23)A majority of communities in the Canadian territory of Nunavut rely on passive waste stabilization ponds (WSP) for domestic wastewater treatment. Little research has been conducted on the treatment performance of these ... -
PHOSPHORUS RETENTION IN ON-SITE WASTEWATER SYSTEMS IN NOVA SCOTIA
(2015-01-26)The use of residential on-site wastewater systems (OWS) is one of the main non-point sources of phosphorus (P) loading to aquatic systems, which is the primary cause of accelerated blue-green algal growth and eutrophication ... -
PHOSPHORUS–BASED NEGATIVE ELECTRODES FOR SODIUM-ION BATTERIES
(2016-02-04)Sodium ion batteries are promising for future use in electrified vehicles and electrical power grids. However, there exist many challenges in the development of negative electrode materials. In this work, room temperature ... -
Phosphorylation-dependent Changes in the R-region Interactions Contribute to Regulation of the CFTR Chloride Channel
(2020-09-11)Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR), the defective protein in cystic fibrosis, is an ion channel regulated by PKA and PKC phosphorylation of its regulatory region (R-region) through a mechanism still ... -
The Photocatalytic and Antibacterial Activity of Copper-doped Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles
(2022-12-08)Organic pollutants and pathogenic microbes exist in water systems causing many communities, especially in developing countries, to have a high risk of infection with water-borne diseases. Developing a simple, cost-effective, ... -
