INFERENCE AND INVESTIGATION OF MARINE MICROBIAL COMMUNITY STRUCTURES IN THE GLOBAL OCEANS
(2016-08-31)Marine microbial communities are complex, and represent a serious analytical challenge. The Bayesian model for inference of microbial community structure (BioMiCo) was used to characterize microbial populations using 16S ... -
INFERENCE OF GENE COEVOLUTION BASED ON PHYLOGENETIC PROFILES
(2022-11-17)Phylogenetic profiles, which summarize the presence and absence patterns of genes in a set of genomes, can be used to identify genes that have correlated evolutionary histories. However, comparative analysis of phylogenetic ... -
INFERENCE ON THE DIET COMPOSITION OF PREDATORS USING FATTY ACID SIGNATURES: AN APPLICATION OF BAYESIAN INFERENCE ON LINEAR MIXING MODELS
(2011-04-08)Determining the diet composition of predators is an important ingredient in many areas of ecology: understanding predator prey relationships, foraging behaviour of predators and consumption models to name a few. Iverson ... -
Inference on the diet of predators using fatty acid signatures.
(Dalhousie University, 2005) -
INFERRING ATMOSPHERIC AEROSOL PROPERTIES FROM SATELLITE OBSERVATIONS AND A GLOBAL CHEMICAL TRANSPORT MODEL
(2020-09-11)Atmospheric aerosols have significant impacts on climate and human health. However, the exact magnitude of the climate and health effects of aerosols remains highly uncertain, due to the large variability in aerosol physical ... -
INFERRING ECOLOGICAL POPULATION STRUCTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASSOCIATIONS THROUGH AUTOMATED ANALYSIS OF REPEAT-CONTAINING AND POLYMORPHIC DNA SEQUENCES
(2016-05-25)Biodiversity conservation plays an important role in the maintenance of a healthy ecosystem. Genetic diversity provides a foundation for understanding the diversity at the organism and population levels of organization. ... -
INFERRING ORTHOLOGOUS RELATIONSHIPS AND GENE TRANSFER IN MICROBIAL GENOMES AND METAGENOMES
(2019-11-28)Interest in microbial life and the progress of DNA sequencing technology has led to thousands of sequenced bacterial genomes. In this thesis I develop approaches to identify Lateral Gene Transfer (LGT) in metagenomes, ... -
Inferring Templates from Spreadsheets
(2011-10-04)Spreadsheets for critical applications, such as financial reporting, are widely created and used by many people with no expertise in programming or software development. It is well known, however, that creating spreadsheets ... -
Infinity and Generality in the Tractatus
(2017-08-31)There has been a good deal of controversy over the expressive completeness of Wittgenstein’s operator N, presented in the Tractatus. James Connelly gives an explication of operator N in an attempt to dispel charges against ... -
Inflation Expectations and Inflation Forecasting: Consumers versus Professional Forecasters
(2014-04-30)By using Michigan and SPF surveys, this thesis compares the group-level inflation-forecast performance as well as information transmission between two main market participation groups, consumers and professional forecasters. ... -
Inflationary process in reformed socialism: The case of China.
(Dalhousie University, 1994) -
Influence of ACE inhibitors on frailty, cardiac contractile function and calcium homeostasis in middle-aged male and female mice
(2018-09-28)Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitors were chronically administered to middle-aged male and female mice to determine whether treatment with ACE inhibitors attenuates frailty and whether this is accompanied by ... -
The influence of ADHD and experimental context on components of attention in children.
(Dalhousie University, 2006) -
Influence of Age and Frailty on Intestinal and Hepatic Bile Acid Transport in Male C57BL/6 Mice
(2017-09-15)Bile acids regulate their own synthesis as well as glucose and lipid metabolism. Bile acid homeostasis is maintained in part by enterohepatic circulation, which requires the concerted activity of multiple transporters, ... -
INFLUENCE OF ALPHA-TOCOPHEROL ON LIPID OXIDATION PATHWAYS
(2020-04-30)In this study, the focus was the qualitative and quantitative analysis of epoxides, hydroxides and aldehydes produced during oxidation of a single triacylglycerol, trilinolein, in the presence and absence of alpha-tocopherol, ... -
The Influence of an Ascophyllum Nodosum Seaweed Biostimulant on Interactions Between Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (Rhizophagus irregularis) and Medicago Truncatula
(2019-12-18)Seaweed biostimulants, such as the Ascophyllum nodosum extract (ANE) produced by Acadian Seaplants, are used globally to improve crop quality. The effects ANE have on soil microbial populations, and plant interactions with ... -
INFLUENCE OF BLENDED ELEMENTAL ALUMINUM AND TITANIUM-ALUMINUM MASTER ALLOY ADDITIONS ON THE SINTERING BEHAVIOUR OF TITANIUM – 6 ALUMINUM ALLOY
(2016-11-03)Despite their attractive properties Titanium alloys have limited use in automotive applications due to their high cost. Processing low-cost Ti powder sources through a blended elemental or master alloy powder metallurgy ... -
THE INFLUENCE OF BREASTFEEDING ON PAIN-RELATED EVENT-RELATED POTENTIALS AND BIO-BEHAVIOURAL INDICATORS OF PROCEDURAL PAIN IN NEWBORNS: A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL
(2019-08-02)Background: Breastfeeding and oral sucrose have strong evidence for reducing infant bio-behavioural responses to pain, however, no studies have compared the effect of these interventions on pain-related electrophysiologic ... -
Influence of bubbles on the water-leaving reflectance.
