MODULATION OF IMMUNE FUNCTION AND PROMOTION OF RESTORATIVE GENE EXPRESSION BY AF4 IN A MOUSE MODEL OF EXPERIMENTAL AUTOIMMUNE ENCEPHALOMYELITIS
(2014-02-25)
The anti-inflammatory and restorative effects of the flavonoid-enriched fraction AF4 were examined in a mouse model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Relative to EAE mice that received vehicle (water, 10 ...
DESIGN AND TESTING OF LOW DIVERGENCE ELLIPTICAL-JET NOZZLES FOR USE IN CREEP-FEED GRINDING
(2013-12-05)
A novel method was developed to design and fabricate nozzles capable of producing low-divergence fluid jets. Nozzle apertures were elliptical, and jets exhibited elliptical cross-sections with divergence varying predictably ...
The Virtuous Citizen: Rawls and Cohen on the Scope of Egalitarian Justice
(2014-12-17)
My thesis responds to G. A. Cohen’s criticism that Rawls’ theory of justice arbitrarily limits its scope to political and social institutions. On Cohen’s view, there is no reason why we should not demand the same principles ...
CommonRoots Health Centre
(2012-04-05)
A shift in medical paradigm, from a focus on curing disease to a focus on preventing it, demands a totally new type of medical infrastructure. Through an analysis of the preventative paradigm, two key architectural ...
Ambient noise and the communication of predation risk between parent and nestling tree swallows (Tachycineta bicolor)
(2013-04-30)
Ambient noise masks important acoustic signals used in a variety of communication systems. Nestling birds communicate with their parents using loud begging calls that convey their need for food, but these calls can also ...
DEVELOPMENT OF A RAPID ATP ANALYSIS METHOD: BIOMASS GROWTH ATP METHOD FOR UV DISINFECTION MONITORING IN WASTEWATER TREATMENT
(2014-12-10)
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) analysis is gaining popularity as a robust method to quantify microbial content in water supplies and wastewater treatment processes. ATP testing provides cost effective microbial analysis ...
The Synthesis and Enzymatic Evaluation of Biologically Relevant Sugar 1-Phosphonates
(2014-09-10)
Phosphonates are commonly used as hydrolytically stable phosphate mimics to explore a multitude of biological processes. This general approach has lead to the development of enzyme inhibitors, antifungals, antibiotics, and ...
MOST INFLUENTIAL VARIABLES FOR SOLAR RADIATION FORECASTING USING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS
(2014-06-24)
Decaying fossil fuel resources, international relation complexities, and the risks associated with nuclear power have led to an increased demand for alternative energy sources. Renewable energy sources offer adequate ...
A VISUALIZATION TOOL FOR THE ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTS OF CHANGING ENERGY POLICIES ON ENERGY SECURITY IN AN ENERGY SYSTEM
(2013-11-27)
All jurisdictions have an energy system consisting of processes responsible for the conversion and transportation of supplies of energy from various sources to meet the end-use energy demands. Energy systems are dynamic ...
Use of visual data in benthic enrichment classification
(2014-12-15)
Artificial eutrophication continues to be a primary concern associated with aquaculture practices. In Canada, monitoring benthic health in response to organic enrichment is used to manage these impacts and maintain the ...
