PHYSICAL AND PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS AFFECTING WALKING IN THE COMMUNITY: A CROSS SECTIONAL STUDY OF CHRONIC STROKE SURVIVORS
(2019-08-30)The transition from walking in clinical to community settings is problematic for many stroke survivors and few report walking in the community without difficulty. Improved walking ability is one of the most often stated ... -
Physical control and biological productivity of the seas around the Prince Edward Archipelago, Southern Ocean.
(Dalhousie University, 1990) -
PHYSICAL INTERNET, CONVENTIONAL, AND HYBRID LOGISTIC SYSTEMS: AN OPTIMIZATION BASED COMPARISON
(2016-05-31)The purpose of this thesis is to compare the performance of the Conventional (CO), Physical Internet (PI), and Hybrid (HY) logistics systems in a road network in order to understand and quantify the advantages and disadvantages ... -
Physical Properties of Nanotube Materials
(2016-09-12)In this work, carbon nanotube (CNT) yarns were prepared and annealed at temperatures up to 2700 °C in Ar atmosphere. Raman spectroscopy showed a four fold increase in the relative CNT crystallinity after annealing to 2700 ... -
Physical-biological interactions and the thermodynamics of the upper ocean.
(Dalhousie University, 1995) -
Physico-chemical Properties of Ni-P Hexagonal Boron Nitride Composite Coatings
(2024-04-11)Certain nickel polyalloys, such as Ni-P-BN(h) and Ni-P-PTFE, are commonly used in the molding and stamping industries as they produce superior anti-galling coatings. In addition, PTFE and BN(h) are known for their high ... -
The physics and chemistry of metal oxide composites as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries.
(Dalhousie University, 1999) -
A Physics Based Model with an Ankle/Hip Controller for Predicting Motion Induced Interruptions
(2014-08-01)Ship motions can greatly impact a person's ability to perform their duties at sea. One metric that can be used to measure this is called a Motion Induced Interruption (MII). An MII occurs when a person stops performing ... -
Physics in High Electric Fields
(2016-09-29)This thesis is a theoretical study on the effects of high electrostatic fields, fields of the order of Volts per Angstrøm, on the structure and stability of water, MgO, ZnO, and Si nanoclusters. A high electrostatic field ... -
THE PHYSIOLOGICAL AND PSYCHOSOCIAL EFFECTS OF A 16-WEEK COMBINED AEROBIC AND RESISTANCE EXERCISE PROGRAM IN MEN RECEIVING ANDROGEN DEPRIVATION THERAPY FOR PROSTATE CANCER
(2011-04-08)Objectives: Men who receive androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer (PCa) are at risk of several adverse effects that can be detrimental to both their physical and mental health. Common adverse effects ... -
Physiological Remodelling of Mitral Valve Chordae Tendineae In The Maternal Bovine Heart
(2016-08-11)Pregnancy is a cardiac volume-overload state that triggers heart valve remodelling. The bovine mitral valve anterior leaflet increases in area by ~35%, with a striking ~22% increase in the number of chordae tendineae ... -
The Physiological Significance of the Peculiar Morphology of the Pitcher-Like Leaves of Sarracenia Purpurea L.
(1974-09-11)The physiological interaction of the pitcher-leaves of Sarracenia purpurea L. with its immediate environment is described quantitatively, in terms of radiant and detrital energy fluxes. The insectivorous nature of the plant ... -
Physiology and pharmacology of excitation-contraction coupling in normal and diseased cardiac cells.
(Dalhousie University, 2001) -
PHYSIOLOGY OF MECHANICAL STRESS-INDUCED NEEDLE LOSS IN POSTHARVEST BALSAM FIR (ABIES BALSAMEA L.)
(2018-05-01)Postharvest needle loss in balsam fir, Abies balsamea L., presents a major challenge for the Christmas tree industry. It was hypothesized that postharvest needle abscission is caused by mechanical stresses such as shaking, ... -
Phytoaccumulation of heavy metals by aquatic plants.
