(Dalhousie University, 1994) -
The inflationary process in small open developing economies : a case study of the eastern Caribbean
(1983-10)The main objective of this thesis is to investigate the causes of inflation in small open developing economies, using the Eastern Caribbean region as a case study. Orthodox inflation theory is viewed critically with respect ... -
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.
(Dalhousie University, 2002) -
THE INFLUENCE OF CARBON-OXYGEN SURFACE GROUPS AND A WATER-MISCIBLE PRIMARY ALCOHOL ON THE VOLTAMMETRIC DETECTION OF BOVINE HEMOGLOBIN IN AQUEOUS ELECTROLYTE USING CARBON ELECTRODES
(2017-10-31)This thesis focuses on the electrochemical reduction of bovine hemoglobin (BHb) using carbon electrode materials. Carbon materials are abundant and affordable, but have variable carbon-oxygen surface functional groups and ... -
The Influence of Colour on the Size-Weight Illusion: Redefining Expectation
(2010-09-02)A size-weight illusion (SWI) occurs when a large object and small object of equal mass but different volume are lifted and the small object is perceived as heavier than the large object. All previous studies of the SWI ... -
The influence of dietary fat concentration on fatty acid signatures and stable carbon isotopes of fatty acids in liver of Atlantic pollock (Pollachius virens)
(2015)A number of biomarker techniques have been employed to investigate animal diets, including analyses of fatty acid (FA) proportions and stable carbon isotopic signatures. Here, the influence of dietary FA concentrations on ... -
THE INFLUENCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS ON THE PROGRESSION OF HAPLOSPORIDIUM NELSONI (MSX) IN CRASSOSTREA VIRGINICA (AMERICAN OYSTER) ON CAPE BRETON ISLAND, NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA
(2019-08-29)In the late 1950s, oyster populations in the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays suffered mortality from the parasite, Haplosporidium nelsoni that is now present from Florida to Maine. In 2001 and 2002, H. nelsoni caused oyster ... -
Influence of Extrinsic Factors on Movements and Reproductive Success of Leach's Storm-Petrel (Oceanodroma leucorhoa).
(2017-03-03)Small pelagic seabirds are valuable indicators of changes in marine ecosystems because they range widely and feed at low trophic levels, and so respond rapidly to changes in ocean conditions. Globally, rapid climatic ... -
