Genomic analyses for feed efficiency traits in American mink
(2023-12-22)Feed efficiency is a key factor in the economic outcomes of mink production systems, as the cost of feed accounts for the largest portion of their variable expenses. So far, the Canadian mink industry has relied solely on ... -
Genomic Ancestry Estimation in Interspecific Grape Hybrids
(2014-04-09)The genus Vitis (the grapevine) is a group of highly diverse, diploid woody perennial vines consisting of approximately 60 species from across the northern hemisphere. To gain insights into the use of wild Vitis species ... -

The Genomic Basis and Spatial Scale of Variation in Thermal Responses of Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua)
(2021-05-05)The thesis investigates the genomic basis and spatial scale of variation in thermal responses of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), with the over-arching aim of improving our understanding of plastic and evolutionary responses ... -
GENOMIC IMPRINTING IN Drosophila melanogaster: EPIGENETIC REGULATION OF THE Dp(1;f)LJ9 IMPRINTED DOMAIN
(2010-08-30)Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon whereby the expression of a gene, chromosomal region, or entire chromosome, depends on the sex of the transmitting parent. Imprinting results in an otherwise fully functional ... -
Genomic Perspectives for Conservation and Management of Atlantic Cod in Coastal Labrador
(2017-04-27)This thesis examines genomic differentiation between the Gilbert Bay and offshore Atlantic Cod populations in Newfoundland and Labrador. First, I determine whether the Gilbert Bay cod population qualifies as a conservation ... -
Genomic Studies of Reproductive Performance and Fur Quality Traits in American Mink
(2024-03-28)This thesis aimed to enhance reproductive performance and pelt quality traits in American mink (Neogale vison) using genomics approaches. Chapter 3 involved estimation of genetic and phenotypic parameters for pelt quality ... -
Genotypic Variability among Diverse Red clover Cultivars for Nitrogen Fixation and Transfer
(2013-08-02)Legumes fix atmospheric nitrogen (N) via symbiotic biological N fixation where part of the N fixed by legumes can be transferred to non-legumes. Identification of genotypic variability for N transfer among different legume ... -
GEOCHEMICAL STUDY OF HYDROCARBON-PRONE SEDIMENTS OF LOWER JURASSIC AGE IN THE SLYNE BASIN, OFFSHORE IRELAND
(2017-04-06)The Slyne Basin, a narrow Mesozoic basin located offshore Ireland, has been the subject of significant exploration with several proven commercial hydrocarbon discoveries. While the Corrib gas field within the Slyne Basin ... -
GEOCHEMISTRY OF ARSENIC IN MAGMATIC SYSTEMS WITH SOME RESULTS FOR ANTIMONY
(2022-08-26)This thesis reports on the results of high-temperature experiments and detailed chemical analysis of natural samples that assess the oxidation state of As and Sb, and the distribution of As in the solidification products ... -
Geographical Epidemiology of Health and Deprivation: a Population-Based, Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Health and Social Inequality in Nova Scotia, Canada
(2011-05-02)Narrowing the gap in health inequality is vital not only from an equity point of view but also from an economic cost point of view. Small-area level investigations of health inequalities can play an important role in this ... -
The Geography of Trauma in Nova Scotia
(2018-09-28)Injury is a leading contributor to Canada's disease burden, accounting for over 15.000 deaths annually. Patients who receive care in designated trauma centres (TCs) have been shown to have a lower risk of trauma-related ...
