CHARACTERISING THE NEUROPHYSIOLOGY OF POST-TRAUMATIC OSTEOARTHRITIS IN RATS AND THE INVOLVEMENT OF PROTEASE ACTIVATED RECEPTOR-4
(2021-03-18)Osteoarthritis (OA) affects 1 in 10 Canadians and is more prevalent in women than men. Remarkably, 60% of OA patients cite inadequate pain relief with current treatments. This may in part be due to multiple OA phenotypes ... -
CHARACTERIZATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE M2 MELANOPSIN RETINAL GANGLION CELL IN THE CLM-1 TRANSGENIC MOUSE RETINA
(2012-09-06)Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) undergo continued maturation after birth. RGC development can be influenced by light, but for most RGCs this requires the development of functional retinal circuits that occurs up to 2 weeks ... -
Characterization and evaluation of potential contaminants of concern in small craft harbour sediments in Nova Scotia
(2022-04-08)Small craft harbours (SCHs) are vital for the fishing industry, but can be impacted by contamination in marine sediments. This study characterized the distribution of petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) and polychlorinated ... -
Characterization and expression of intracellular lipid-binding protein genes in zebrafish (Danio rerio).
(Dalhousie University, 2004) -
Characterization and identification of probability distributions.
(Dalhousie University, 1991) -
Characterization and modulation of ionic conductances in cultured rabbit retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells.

Characterization and Optimization of Composite/Metallic Adhesively Bonded Joints Subjected to Thermal Fatigue
(2020-08-07)Adhesively bonded joints (ABJs) are widely used to mate two or more structural elements. Therefore, to ensure their durability and safe performance, such joints must be carefully designed, especially when they are subjected ... -
CHARACTERIZATION AND PHYSIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF VOLATILE TERPENE COMPOUNDS (VTCs) IN POSTHARVEST NEEDLE ABSCISSION OF BALSAM FIR (ABIES BALSAMEA (L.) MILL.)
(2013-04-02)In the quest to understand the physiological basis of postharvest needle loss in balsam fir, we hypothesized that, volatile terpene compounds (VTCs) have a role in needle abscission. This study focused on understanding the ... -
The Characterization of a Building-Integrated Microalgae Photobioreactor
(2015)This thesis uses an adaptive design methodology for the characterization of a building integrated microalgae photobioreactor (BIMP) system. As an integrated building component that mediates between the indoor and outdoor ... -
CHARACTERIZATION OF A LONGITUDINAL CARE PLAN MODEL FOR MANAGING CHRONIC DISEASES: A CARE PLAN ONTOLOGY TO COMPUTERIZE PAPER- BASED CARE PLANS
(2012-04-30)Chronic diseases are the largest cause of morbidity and mortality. Due to long course there is a need to plan longitudinal care for chronic disease. In this thesis, we aim to standardize the longitudinal care process for ... -
CHARACTERIZATION OF A NOVEL ISOFORM OF NOS1AP: NOS1APc
(2012-09-11)The current study characterizes a novel isoform of the Nitric Oxide Synthase 1 Adaptor Protein (NOS1AP), herein NOS1APc. NOS1APc was identified in a proteomic screen for Scribble interacting proteins. Northern blot analysis ... -

Characterization of a Novel Promoter Region for the Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli Type III Secretion System Chaperone Gene cesT
(2013-03-20)Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is an enteric pathogen that causes potentially fatal infantile diarrhea. A type III secretion system is employed by EPEC to inject bacterial effector proteins directly into host ... -
CHARACTERIZATION OF AAV2-GCAMP3 FOR FUNCTIONAL IMAGING IN RETINAL GANGLION CELLS
(2020-08-27)The loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) is the hallmark of optic neuropathies, such as glaucoma. Monitoring RGC function and subsequent dysfunction over time is an invaluable tool in experimental optic neuropathies and ... -
