Local Structure and the Photoelastic Response in Zinc-modified Oxide Glass
(2013-08-16)Understanding the relationship between the structure of materials and their properties allows for the development of new applications and technologies. Here the relationship between local structure and optical properties ... -
Localization and targeting of B2-1, a guanine-nucleotide exchange factor for ADP-ribosylation factors.
(Dalhousie University, 2000) -
Localization of Near-Surface Anomalies Using Seismic Rayleigh Waves
(2010-05-03)The presence of subsurface anomalies, such as cavities, faults, unknown tunnels, etc., either natural or man-made, can cause public safety hazards. The detection of these features requires the development of new methods. ... -
LOCALIZATION OF VENTRICULAR ACTIVATION ORIGIN USING PATIENT-SPECIFIC GEOMETRY
(2018-01-15)The clinical electrophysiological (EP) techniques of intracardiac recording and stimulation have emerged as invaluable tools for investigating and treating life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias. Computing technology plays ... -
LOCALIZING GENETIC ELEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE IN MINK USING A SEQUENCE-BASED SNP PANEL
(2014-12-15)Reproductive performance is a multifactorial trait which is affected by genetic, physiological and environmental factors. This study aimed at identification of genetic elements associated with fertility in mink females ... -
LOCALIZING INTERNATIONAL GENDER POLICY TO IMPROVE WOMEN’S AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITY IN EAST AND WEST AFRICA.
(2021-12-17)In Africa, women play an essential role in the agricultural sector. They produce about 70% of the food that is consumed locally. However, women face more constraints than men in accessing productive resources such as land, ... -
Localizing Rural Acadian Identities: Social and Ethnic Reproduction in Pomquet, Nova Scotia
(2022-04-14)This dissertation is an ethnographic study detailing how ethnic identities are reproduced in Pomquet, a rural Acadian community in Eastern Nova Scotia. At the turn of the twentieth century, the Acadian nationalist project ... -
LOCATING SHAMBHALA: A PILGRIMAGE COMPLEX FOR KALAPA VALLEY IN THE HIGHLANDS OF CAPE BRETON, NOVA SCOTIA
(2015-04-06)This thesis explores the relationship between landscape, sacred space and dwelling in the non-theistic spiritual tradition of Shambhala. Through the design of a pilgrimage complex for Kalapa Valley in the Cape Breton ... -
"Lock Up Your Sons": Queering Young Adult Literature and Social Discourse
(2012-08-24)Young adult literature (YA) has been stereotypical in many of its portrayals of LGBTQ teens from the 1960s to the early 2000s, but three contemporary YA series--Cassandra Clare's The Mortal Instruments, Sarah Rees Brennan's ... -
LOCOMOTION CHARACTERIZATION OF DCC AND NCK2 MUTANT MICE
(2019-01-15)ABSTRACT Transmembrane receptor protein DCC (deleted in colorectal cancer) and its intracellular binding partner Nck (non-catalytic tyrosine kinase adaptor protein) are both important in spinal locomotor network formation. ... -
Locomotor behaviour, emotionality, and cognition in the 3xTg-AD mouse model of Alzheimer's disease: A cross-sectional study
(2013-06-28)The triple transgenic (3xTg-AD) mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) possesses three transgenes that lead to the development of amyloid-beta (A?) plaques (APPswe, PS1M146V) and neurofibrillary tangles (and tauP301L) ... -
Locomotor Compensation for Severe Motor Neuron Loss during Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Disease Progression
(2018-01-05)Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) causes progressive motor neuron (MN) degeneration leading to muscle weakness, paralysis, and eventually death. When symptoms are detected in ALS patients and model animals (SOD1G93A mice) ... -
Logos in Plato's Theaetetus and Sophist
(2011-09-06)This thesis will explore the epistemological and ontological content of logos as it appears in Plato's Theaetetus and Sophist. As a tether between the realms being and becoming, logos occupies the dianoetic space in which ... -
LONG CHAIN-POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACID SYNTHESIS IN THE MUSCLE AND LIVER OF LANDLOCKED AND SAINT JOHN RIVER ATLANTIC SALMON FED A FISH OIL-FREE DIET
(2022-12-14)The first trial compared tissue omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3 LC-PUFA) content between the landlocked Grand Lake strain (GL) and the farmed Saint John River (SJR) strain. After 16 weeks, GL and SJR ... -
Long Range Underwater Navigation using Gravity-Based Measurements
(2020-04-30)The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate feasibility of a gravity-based system for long range underwater localization. Such a system is demonstrated, in simulations, with the use of particle filter-based localization and ... -
