‘FIGHTING IN THE DARK’: CHARLES FREDERICK FRASER AND THE HALIFAX ASYLUM FOR THE BLIND, 1850 - 1915
(2011-08-19)
The Halifax Asylum for the Blind, the first residential school for blind children in Canada, opened its doors in 1872 as a charitable institution with educational goals. This work explores the foundation of the Asylum in ...
CHARACTERIZATION OF THE PHOSPHODIESTERASE SUBTYPES THAT REGULATE MOUSE ATRIAL MYOCYTE ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY
(2012-11-20)
Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) are the enzymes responsible for the hydrolysis of cyclic nucleotides including cAMP and cGMP. We recently discovered that natriuretic peptides elicit effects in the atrial myocardium via a PDE ...
A PRE-OPERATIVE PREDICTIVE MODEL FOR THE CLASSIFICATION OF NEWLY DIAGNOSED RENAL MASSES LESS THAN 5 CM IN DIAMETER AS BENIGN OR MALIGNANT
(2012-08-23)
Objective: To develop a predictive model for preoperative differentiation between benign (B) and malignant (M) histology in patients with renal masses (RM) using recursive partitioning.
Methods: We analyzed preoperative ...
Phylogenetic analysis of multiple genes based on spectral methods
(2011-11-14)
Multiple gene phylogenetic analysis is of interest since single gene analysis often
results in poorly resolved trees. Here the use of spectral techniques for analyzing
multi-gene data sets is explored. The protein sequences ...
Stabilization of Asymmetric Bilateral Teleoperation Systems with Time-Varying Delays
(2012-08-22)
A novel control scheme for asymmetric bilateral teleoperation systems is developed based on linear models of the hardware, with two scenarios considered: i) only an upper bound on the time delay and ii) an upper and lower ...

Investigation of Antifreeze Protein Activity in Blue Mussels and Amyloid-Like Transition in a Predominant Winter Flounder Serum Antifreeze Protein
(2013-10-28)
The study of marine antifreeze proteins has provided new findings. The blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) was known to have antifreeze activity; however, the antifreeze protein or other molecule responsible has never been ...
