FT-NIR Review of Application Limits and Application to Chitosan Characterization
(2017-04-12)This thesis reviews recent applications of NIR spectroscopy, specifically focusing on O-H, N-H and C-H bonds found most commonly in water, alcoholic beverages, proteins and sugars, and identifies practical errors associated ... -
FULLY DIGITAL TIME DOMAIN MULTIPLIER
(2017-09-01)A fully digital Time Domain Multiplier (TDM) has been proposed in this thesis for application in time domain signal processing. The Time Domain Multiplier presented in this work is based on the principle of repetitive ... -
Fully Dynamic Graph Orientation
(2015-01-06)In this thesis we consider the problem of edge orientation, where the goal is to orient the edges of an undirected dynamic graph with n vertices so that the out-degree of every vertex is bounded, typically by a function ... -
FUNchitecture: Play as Essential Public Urban Infrastructure
(2016-04-08)This thesis stresses the importance of social infrastructure in urban environments and proposes that a play infrastructure is an equally essential function to the city as access to water. As play is established as a ... -
Function of muscle adipocytes in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) exposed to hydrocarbons.
(Dalhousie University, 1996) -
Functional Analysis of Putative Thiol-Disulfide Oxidoreductases in Group A Streptococcus
(2018-07-20)Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is a pathogenic bacterium that strictly infects humans, causing a diverse range of diseases from severe toxic shock syndrome to moderate strep throat infection, especially in children. GAS ... -
The Functional and Morphological Changes by Noise without Causing Hearing Loss: A Comparison between Mice and Guinea Pigs
(2012-05-01)Noise exposure is one of the most common causes for acquired sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Recent studies have demonstrated that low-level noise exposure can kill spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) without causing permanent ... -
The Functional Characterization of Invariant Natural Killer T Cells and the Chemokine Receptor CXCR6 in a Mouse Model of Inflammatory Arthritis
(2017-09-15)Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation and an influx of immune cells, leading to irreversible joint damage. The chemokine receptor CXCR6 is highly expressed on T lymphocytes isolated ... -
FUNCTIONAL CONNECTIVITY, SYMPTOM SEVERITY AND TREATMENT OUTCOMES IN WOMEN WITH BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER
(2019-12-12)Dissociation is characterized by either heightened sensitivity to emotions (under-modulation) or dampened experience of emotions (over-modulation) (Krause-Utz & Elzinga, 2018; Lanius et al., 2010). Within fMRI studies, ... -
FUNCTIONAL INTERPLAY OF INFLUENZA A VIRUS NS1 AND PA-X PROTEINS MEDIATES HOST SHUTOFF
(2022-11-18)Host shutoff is a mechanism to inhibit gene expression and limit the innate immune response. IAV produces two host shutoff proteins: PA-X and NS1. PA-X is an endonuclease that targets and cleaves host mRNAs. NS1 limits ... -
Functional positivity and invariant subspaces of semigroups of operators.
(Dalhousie University, 1992) -
Functional properties of post-synaptic dorsal column neurons in raccoon.
(Dalhousie University, 1999) -
FUNCTIONAL RETINAL GANGLION CELL ACTIVITY FOLLOWING LIGHT-INDUCED RETINAL DAMAGE IN MICE
(2019-05-01)The scotopic threshold response (STR) of the electroretinogram (ERG) is thought to measure inner retinal function, specifically retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). However, the degree to which the STR is masked by the larger ... -
FUNCTIONALIZATION OF MONO- AND DIPYRROLIC COMPOUNDS
(2017-02-02)Chemical manipulations of pyrrolic compounds can often prove to be difficult. This is especially true for dipyrrins. As a result of this, methodology development for the chemical manipulation of pyrrolic compounds is of ... -
FUNCTIONS AND ORIGINS OF MITOCHONDRION-RELATED ORGANELLES IN ANAEROBIC PROTISTS
(2016-01-14)Across the diversity of life, organisms have evolved different strategies to thrive in hypoxic environments – microbial eukaryotes (protists) are no exception; protists that experience hypoxia often possess metabolically ... -
THE FUNCTIONS OF MOUSE SPINAL V3 INTERNEURONS IN LOCOMOTION
(2020-08-28)V3 interneurons (INs) are a major group of glutamatergic commissural neurons in the mouse spinal cord. They directly innervate motor neurons (MNs) as well as other ventral INs. Although it has been shown that V3 INs are ... -
Functions of the Yeast GTPase-Activating Proteins Age1 and Gcs1 for Post-Golgi Vesicular Transport
(2011-09-06)Organelles within the endomembrane system of all eukaryotic cells exchange membrane lipids and proteins using membrane-bound transport vesicles. This highly conserved vesicular transport process is essential for life and ... -
FUNGICIDAL SELECTION PRESSURE ON MONILINIA VACCINII-CORYMBOSI (READE) HONEY IN WILD BLUEBERRY (VACCINIUM AUNGUSTIFOLIUM AITON)
(2016-08-31)Propiconazole has been extensively used throughout the wild blueberry industry for Monilinia blight control over the past 20 years. Given the apparent loss of Monilinia blight control observed in field research trials and ... -
Further Studies in Adenosinergic and Monoaminergic Mechanisms of Analgesia by Amitriptyline
