ACTIVATION OF THE PGE2 RECEPTOR EP4 PROTECTS AGAINST OXIDANT-INDUCED APOPTOSIS IN AIRWAY EPITHELIAL CELLS
(2012-08-29)Heme oxygenase (HO)-1 expression is induced in pulmonary diseases characterized by oxidative stress, including CF, and is cytoprotective in nature. Prostaglanin (PG) E2 can protect against oxidant-induced apoptosis via ... -
Active Learning with Visualization
(2017-01-30)Labeled datasets are limited even though data nowadays are produced with an incredible speed. This affects automatic machine learning methods, especially supervised learning, which requires labels to generate valuable ... -
Active Mach-Zehnder interferometers with feedback.

Active Neural Learners for Text with Dual Supervision
(2019-03-04)Dual supervision for text classification and information retrieval, which involves training the machine with class labels augmented with text annotations that are indicative of the class, has been shown to provide significant ... -
Active River Area (ARA) Framework Refinement: Developing Frameworks for Terrace and Meander Belt Delineation and Defining Optimal Digital Elevation Model for Future ARA Delineation
(2020-08-27)The Active River Area (ARA) is a spatial approach for identifying the extent of functional riparian areas, with five components (floodplains, terraces, riparian wetlands, meander belts, material contribution zones). Given ... -
Active security-constrained optimal power flow using modified Hopfield neural network.

Active Transit as Urban Infrastructure: The Vehicle for Promoting Public Health through Architecture
(2015-04-06)This thesis studies ways that architecture and urban infrastructure can encourage the citizens of a sprawling city to engage with their environment and thereby improve their physical and mental health. This is done by ... -
Active Transportation Experiences of Racialized Youth in Nova Scotia
(2024-08-31)Introduction: Physical activity (PA) supports the health and well-being of youth. Active transportation (AT) during the adolescent years aids youth in acquiring enough PA to achieve desired health and well-being outcomes. ... -
AN ACTIVE-SET EVOLUTION STRATEGY FOR MIXED-INTEGER BLACK-BOX OPTIMIZATION WITH EXPLICIT CONSTRAINTS
(2023-04-21)Many real-world applications involve the optimization of both continuous and discrete variables simultaneously. Evolution Strategies are stochastic black-box optimization techniques that are most commonly used for continuous ... -
Activities of Daily Living Detection Using Markov Models
(2011-12-20)The healthcare systems are experiencing heavy workload and high cost caused by ageing population. The assisted monitoring systems for the elderly persons, and persons with chronic diseases, promises great potential to ... -
ACTIVITY AND MECHANISM OF ASCOPHYLLUM NODOSUM EXTRACT INDUCED SALINITY TOLERANCE IN TOMATO
(2014-07-15)Salinity affects crop production worldwide. Ascophyllum nodosum, a brown marine alga, has been used for decades as a bio-stimulant to promote plant growth and impart tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, the ... -
The Acute and Prolonged Impact of Knee-Flexion Angle on Popliteal Hemodynamics and Flow-Mediated Dilation Responses to Sitting
(2022-08-24)The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of prolonged sitting (~2.5 h) at knee-flexion angles of 0°, 45°, and 90° on popliteal blood flow (PBF) and endothelial-dependent, flow-mediated dilation (FMD). 8 ... -
ACYL CARRIER PROTEIN DYNAMICS AND PARTNER ENZYME INTERACTIONS
(2015)Acyl carrier protein (ACP) is essential for the synthesis of fatty acids, phospholipids, lipid A and other primary and secondary metabolites. ACP and ACP-like proteins are found throughout nature; however, differences ... -
