The Role of Adrenergic Receptor Signaling in Embryonic Ventricular Cell Proliferation and Differentiation
(2019-11-28)In the adult heart, cardiomyocytes (CM) that die in response to aging or pathological insults are replaced by scar tissue. Transplantation of embryonic cardiac progenitor cells (CPC) was shown to increase the contractile ... -
The Role of Altered Calcium-Handling in Mechanically-Induced Arrhythmias During Acute Regional Ischemia
(2016-06-27)Sudden Cardiac Death, a leading cause of death in Canada, commonly occurs as a result of arrhythmias occurring in the first hour of acute regional ischemia (ARI) after coronary artery occlusion. The mechanisms by which ARI ... -
Role of Arabidopsis thaliana RING-Type E3 Ligase XBAT35.2 in Regulating ACD11 Stability
(2015)Ubiquitination is a post-translational modification that results in a single (monoubiquitination) or multiple (polyubiquitination) ubiquitin molecule(s) being covalently attached to a selected protein substrate. A common ... -
The Role of Atrial Natriuretic Peptide Signalling in Ventricular Conduction System Development and Cardiac Function
(2023-08-23)The presence of a cardiac conduction defect in perinatal life increases the risk of heart failure. Studies have shown that atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and its high affinity receptor (NPRA) play a role in the formation ... -
The Role of Attention and Working Memory in Reading in Young Adults With a History of Reading Difficulties: Mechanisms and Treatment
(2022-08-12)University students with a history of reading difficulties (HRD) have ongoing reading and academic challenges. Understanding the mechanisms underlying these students’ reading difficulties and identifying ways to improve ... -
The Role of Attention in Walking in Parkinson's Disease
(2019-08-29)Parkinson’s disease affects both cognitive and motor function. The purpose of this study was to look at the role of attention and walking in people with Parkinson’s disease (n = 15) as compared to a healthy, matched control ... -
The Role of Attentional Control in Working Memory: Effects of Cognitive Load, Aging, and Stroke
(2015-01-16)Working memory is a limited capacity system that relies on attentional control mechanisms to filter out task irrelevant information for optimal performance (Broadbent, 1958). The aim of this dissertation was to investigate ... -
The Role of BASP1 in Neural Development
(2019-12-09)BASP1 (brain acid soluble protein 1) is highly expressed in the nervous system throughout development. While its roles at the neuromuscular junction and in certain non-neuronal tissues have been previously characterized, ... -
The role of binding determinants in ground state and transition state stabilization by mandelate racemase.
(Dalhousie University, 2003) -
The Role of Blood-Brain Barrier Pathology in Post-Traumatic Epilepsy and its Co-Morbidities
(2020-09-11)Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is becoming a global epidemic with an up-to-date figure putting its toll at 69 million people affected worldwide. In Canada, TBI accounts for 150,000 annual emergency room visits and about ... -
The role of BMP-2 and TGF-beta during early development and patterning of the avian mandible and limb buds.
(Dalhousie University, 1999) -
The role of bone morphogenetic protein 4 signalling in human ovarian cancer cell behaviour.

THE ROLE OF CASP IN NATURAL KILLER CELL IMMUNE FUNCTION
(2014-03-24)Natural Killer (NK) cells are highly mobile, specialized sub-populations of lymphocytic cells that survey their host to identify and eliminate infected or tumor cells. They are one of the key players in innate immunity and ... -
The Role of Charge Redistribution in the Self-discharge of Electrochemical Capacitor Electrodes
(2011-01-13)This work examines the role of charge redistribution in the self-discharge of electrochemical capacitor electrodes. Electrochemical capacitors are charge storage devices which have high power capability and a long cycle ... -

ROLE OF CO-OPERATIVES IN FACILITATING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS: AN EXPERIENCE FROM NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA
(2019-05-01)Attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will require concerted effort throughout societies everywhere. Although co-operatives, as community-embedded local organizations, have been promoted in advancing SDGs, ... -
The Role of Communication Media in Enabling Inclusion of Women in Man-Dominated Teams
(2023-08-23)Does communication media influence women’s inclusion when they are minorities in man-dominated teams, and how? Drawing on media synchronicity theory, gender microaggression and gender differences literature, we investigated ... -
THE ROLE OF CORTICAL SPREADING DEPOLARIZATIONS IN TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY OUTCOME
(2021-03-15)Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a blow to the head that disrupts normal brain function. Concussion is a common clinical syndrome that can follow mild TBI. Concussion is associated with a variety of disabling neurological ... -
The role of culture in pain-related caregiver behavior: Comparing Canadian, Icelandic, and Thai caregivers of 6-12-year-old children
(2017-05-26)The aim of the study was to examine the role culture plays in caregiver’s pain-related parent behaviors. This study used a cross-cultural survey design with a convenience sample of caregivers of 6-12-year-old children (N ... -
