Analysis of Changes in the Potato Leaf Proteome Triggered by Phosphite Reveals Functions Associated with Induced Resistance Against Phytophthora infestans
(2012-12-19)Exogenous chemicals can be used to stimulate induced resistance (IR), a process related to increased disease resistance of susceptible plants against a broad range of pathogens. The identification of molecular components ... -
ANALYSIS OF CLUSTER AND STRIPE SOLUTIONS IN A ONE-DIMENSIONAL MODEL OF BIOLOGICAL AGGREGATION
(2012-05-28)This thesis studies the model of swarming of organisms in groups or clusters and the solution of the interaction equation in a one dimensional biological swarm model. This process describes the behavior of some animal ... -
ANALYSIS OF FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE DEVELOPMENT OF WIND POWER IN ATLANTIC CANADA: APPLICATION OF DISCRETE REGRESSION MODELLING
(2013-04-30)Widespread development of wind energy in Canada can not only increase energy savings to consumers, but also help reduce the negative environmental impacts of generating electricity from non-renewable sources. Although the ... -
Analysis of Functional Constraint and Recombination in Gene Sequences of the Cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus
(2010-08-25)Lineages of the cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus marinus have diverged into two genetically distinct ‘ecotypes,’ high-light adapted (HL) and low-light adapted (LL), which thrive under different environmental conditions. ... -
Analysis of Functional MRI for Presurgical Mapping: Reproducibility, Automated Thresholds, and Diagnostic Accuracy
(2010-09-09)Examination of functional brain anatomy is a crucial step in the process of surgical removal of many brain tumors. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a promising technology capable of mapping brain function ... -

Analysis of Mixed Models for Binary Longitudinal Data, with Application to Prescription Switching Patterns
(2016-04-21)This thesis aims to study the statin use patterns of the Nova Scotia seniors population and the patients’ adherence to medication by applying a generalized linear mixed effect model (abbreviated as GLMM). Observations ... -
ANALYSIS OF MULTILAYER-ENCRYPTION ANONYMITY NETWORKS
(2017-10-18)The main goal of multilayer-encryption anonymity networks is to provide a certain level of privacy to their users. At the same time, such networks could be misused to perform harmful network activities. Multilayer-encryption ... -
ANALYSIS OF NATURAL SPEECH FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF MOOD DISORDERS
(2021-09-02)Psychiatric evaluation relies on subjective assessment. Biomarkers are objective indicators of illness that can aid in diagnostic classification and help guide treatment for individuals with psychiatric illnesses. Speech ... -
ANALYSIS OF NETWORK PROPERTIES USING SELF ORGANIZING MAPS FOR SERVICE DEPLOYMENT ON THE CLOUD
(2017-08-15)This work offers in-depth analysis of network properties to employ them for service deployment on cloud systems. The proposed analysis is evaluated on three different data sets from different locations, captured in 2012, ... -

An Analysis of Phosphorus Loading and Trophic State in Fletchers Lake, Nova Scotia
(2017-04-10)Fletchers Lake, Fall River, Nova Scotia, is located within a diverse watershed, and is influenced by urban stormwater runoff, wastewater discharge and on-site septic systems. Due to the lake’s multi-uses and more planned ... -
ANALYSIS OF PLASTIC DEGRADATION BY THE FILAMENTOUS FUNGUS ASPERGILLUS ORYZAE
(2018-12-19)The present research is focused on the application of Aspergillus oryzae for the degradation of biodegradable plastics and conventional plastics. By addition of inducing agents and altering the initial pH of the culture ... -
Analysis of Prokaryotic Metabolic Networks
(2011-04-08)Establishing group structure in complex networks is potentially very useful since nodes belonging to the same module can often be related by commonalities in their biological function. However, module detection in complex ... -
