Potential Effects of Climate Change on Mortality of the Invasive Species Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (Adelges tsugae) in Nova Scotia, Canada
(2019)Hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA) kills hemlock trees by injecting poison into their stems as the feed on sap, defoliating the trees. This insect has caused widespread eastern hemlock death across the northeastern United States ... -
Determining the Sustainability of Second Generation Photovoltaic Solar Panels: Metal Production and Recycling
(2019-04-15)Second-generation photovoltaic solar panel use is increasing worldwide, thus the demand for resources, such as metals, used to make the panels is increasing as well. The main driver of this study is the United Nations and ... -
DEVELOPING NATURAL KILLER T CELL BASED TOOLS AND STRATEGIES FOR TARGETING BREAST CANCER
Natural killer T cells are a rare population of immune-regulatory lymphocytes which have been implicated in tumor control. However, the benefit of NKT cell activation therapy in metastatic breast cancer remains poorly ... -
Interpretation of Aerosol Mass Scattering Efficiency over North America Using Ground Based Measurements from the IMPROVE Network
Aerosol mass scattering efficiency affects climate forcing calculations, atmospheric visibility, and the interpretation of satellite observations of aerosol optical depth. We evaluated the representation of aerosol mass ... -
Expanded insight into processing and isoform dependent properties of apelin
Apelin is one of two peptide ligands for a class A G-protein-coupled receptor (the apelin receptor; AR/APJ). Apelin-AR signalling regulates many body systems, including the cardiovascular system, central nervous system, ... -
The impact of long term testosterone withdrawal on cardiac excitation-contraction coupling in the mouse
The impact of chronic testosterone withdrawal on the structure and function of the heart was investigated in male C57BL/6 mice following bilateral gonadectomy (GDX) or a sham-operation at 4 weeks of age. In vivo ... -
Understanding the Nature of Aerobic Methane Emissions from Plants Grown under a Combination of Temperature, UVB Radiation and Watering Regime
Methane (CH4) is an important greenhouse gas besides carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, water vapour, ozone, and chlorofluorocarbons. The atmospheric concentration of CH4 has nearly tripled since pre-industrial times. It is ... -
IMPACT OF MANGANESE ON CORROSION CONTROL AND BIOFILM FORMATION IN DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS
The fate of manganese in distribution, along with its impact on biomass accumulation and lead release was investigated at the bench-scale. Confirmation of manganese-biofouling of the JD Kline Water Supply Plant’s raw water ... -
Proteomic and functional studies of the influenza A virus PA-X protein
Viral RNA endonuclease activity is required for influenza A virus (IAV) replication. This activity resides in the polymerase acidic (PA) protein, which assembles into viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) complexes and ...
