(2019-08-21)Enacting Change investigated if Theatre be used to activate Psychological processes to change attitudes toward child soldier reintegration and post-conflict community reconciliation. Twenty Lord’s Resistance Army returnees ... -
ENCAPSULATION OF BIOACTIVE SALMON PROTEIN HYDROLYSATES WITH CHITOSAN-COATED LIPOSOMES
(2014-08-26)Bioactive low molecular weight protein hydrolysates need to be protected, transported to the targeted absorption site, and released in a controlled manner to optimize their effectiveness during oral administration. The ... -
Encouraging Interaction: Neighbourhood-Specific Computational Design
(2019-04-05)Most high-density urban housing, while successful in meeting escalating population and financial demands, fails to sustain the local identity and community that make cities desirable. While high density typologies tend to ... -
AN END-TO-END DECENTRALIZED INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT) DATA MODEL
(2023-08-29)In today’s data-driven society, the demand for secure, efficient, and decentralized data storage and communication solutions has become increasingly critical. This thesis explores the design and implementation of an ... -
Endocannabinoid system modulation of the ocular immune response
(2015)The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is an endogenous lipid signaling system, comprised of receptors, ligands, and their degradative enzymes. The cannabinoid 2 receptor (CB2R) is localized on immune cells and modulates immune ... -

Endosymbiotic Gene Transfer in the Nucleomorph containing organisms Bigelowiella natans and Guillardia theta
(2012-12-12)Mitochondria and chloroplasts are eukaryotic organelles that were acquired through endosymbiosis. In the case of the mitochondrion, a heterotrophic cell engulfed and retained an alpha-proteobacterium. The engulfed bacterium, ... -
Endothelial Characteristics of Cardiac Resident Stem Cell Antigen-1+ and c-kit+ Cells
(2022-07-28)Background: Stem cell antigen-1 (Sca-1) and c-kit have been extensively used as cell surface markers to identify stem cells in various organs. In the heart, these were originally suggested to be markers for the intrinsic ... -
Endothelin Receptor Heterodimerization Inhibits β-arrestin Function
(2016-09-01)Dimerization of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) can affect receptor dynamics at many stages of the GPCR life cycle. Endothelin receptors A (ETA) and B (ETB) are co-expressed in vascular smooth muscle cells, and are key ... -
Enduring Powers of Attorney and Financial Abuse of Older Persons:Are Existing Safeguards Sufficient?
(2014-08-12)Research has shown that older persons, particularly those with diminished capacity, are vulnerable to financial abuse by enduring power of attorney, which is otherwise an effective estate planning tool. Current legislation ... -
Energetics of Shoaling Internal Waves and Turbulence in the St. Lawrence Estuary
(2012-08-24)The shoaling of horizontally propagating internal waves may provide an important source of mixing and transport in estuaries and coastal seas. Parameterizing such effects in numerical models demands better understanding ... -
Energy Distribution Through Lifetime Estimation and Smartphone Usage Patterns
(2014-12-10)Today, smartphones have become an important part of our day to day life. Every day, practically every one of us wakes up in the morning hearing the sound of an alarm coming from our smartphone. First thing in the morning, ... -
