(2011-10-18)The Paqtnkek Mi’kmaw Nation would like to develop a livelihood fishery to sustain a moderate livelihood. The Sustainable Livelihood Framework guided the identification of challenges and opportunities that the Paqtnkek ... -
USING THE ZEBRAFISH MODEL TO DETERMINE THE ROLE OF THE HACE1 TUMOUR SUPPRESSOR IN NORMAL DEVELOPMENT AND TUMOURIGENESIS
(2011-12-19)HACE1 is a tumour suppressor gene located at human chromosome 6q21. HACE1 is downregulated in Wilms’ tumour as well as several other human cancers. Its role in normal development remains unknown. The zebrafish has established ... -
Using the Zebrafish to Investigate the Role of the NUP98-NSD1 Oncogene and Loss of NUP98 in High-Risk Pediatric Acute Myeloid Leukemia
(2018-09-28)Many genetic mutations lead to acute myeloid leukemia (AML), including the translocation NUP98-NSD1 (NND1), which is found primarily in pediatric AML and causes high-risk disease. There is currently no animal model of the ... -
Using the δ18O-Salinity Relationship to Identify Freshwater Inputs to a North Atlantic Estuary
(2015-05-01)The δ18O-Salinity relationship allows us to define distinct end members in Bedford Basin, a system supplied by the North Atlantic Ocean. An isotopic analysis was performed on water in and around Bedford Basin to resolve ... -
USING TIME SERIES AND MULTIVARIATE TECHNIQUES TO ANALYZE CHANGES IN THE OCEAN NITROGEN CYCLE THROUGHOUT HISTORY
(2014-08-25)Nitrogen is a limiting resource in marine ecosystems that directly impacts the productivity of marine life. Values of δ15N extracted from down core sediments are used as a proxy measure of nitrogen in past marine ... -
USING TOUCH GESTURES TO RECORD AND RECOGNIZE EMOTIONS
(2017-04-05)In this thesis, we explore how people use touchscreens to express emotional intensity, and whether these intensities can be understood by oneself later or by others. We conducted a four-week participatory-design activity ... -
Using Visual Analytics and Interpretability Strategies to Understand the Impact of Input Variables on Indexes derived from Municipality (Urban) Data Sets
(2020-04-29)Composite indices have been widely used in several domains as a measure to describe abstract concepts through the combination of variables. The current approaches for index creation and analysis do not have a comprehensive ... -
Using Vocal Behaviour to Reform the Conservation of Canada Warblers (Wilsonia canadensis)
(2011-03)The Canada Warbler (Wilsonia canadensis) is a declining neotropical migratory songbird that breeds in Canada and the USA and winters in South America. Between 1968 and 2007, its abundance declined an estimated 4.5% per ... -
