The Genomic Basis and Spatial Scale of Variation in Thermal Responses of Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua)
(2021-05-05)The thesis investigates the genomic basis and spatial scale of variation in thermal responses of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), with the over-arching aim of improving our understanding of plastic and evolutionary responses ... -
GENOMIC IMPRINTING IN Drosophila melanogaster: EPIGENETIC REGULATION OF THE Dp(1;f)LJ9 IMPRINTED DOMAIN
(2010-08-30)Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon whereby the expression of a gene, chromosomal region, or entire chromosome, depends on the sex of the transmitting parent. Imprinting results in an otherwise fully functional ... -
Genomic Perspectives for Conservation and Management of Atlantic Cod in Coastal Labrador
(2017-04-27)This thesis examines genomic differentiation between the Gilbert Bay and offshore Atlantic Cod populations in Newfoundland and Labrador. First, I determine whether the Gilbert Bay cod population qualifies as a conservation ... -
Genomic Studies of Reproductive Performance and Fur Quality Traits in American Mink
(2024-03-28)This thesis aimed to enhance reproductive performance and pelt quality traits in American mink (Neogale vison) using genomics approaches. Chapter 3 involved estimation of genetic and phenotypic parameters for pelt quality ... -
Genotypic Variability among Diverse Red clover Cultivars for Nitrogen Fixation and Transfer
(2013-08-02)Legumes fix atmospheric nitrogen (N) via symbiotic biological N fixation where part of the N fixed by legumes can be transferred to non-legumes. Identification of genotypic variability for N transfer among different legume ... -
GEOCHEMICAL STUDY OF HYDROCARBON-PRONE SEDIMENTS OF LOWER JURASSIC AGE IN THE SLYNE BASIN, OFFSHORE IRELAND
(2017-04-06)The Slyne Basin, a narrow Mesozoic basin located offshore Ireland, has been the subject of significant exploration with several proven commercial hydrocarbon discoveries. While the Corrib gas field within the Slyne Basin ... -
GEOCHEMISTRY OF ARSENIC IN MAGMATIC SYSTEMS WITH SOME RESULTS FOR ANTIMONY
(2022-08-26)This thesis reports on the results of high-temperature experiments and detailed chemical analysis of natural samples that assess the oxidation state of As and Sb, and the distribution of As in the solidification products ... -
Geographical Epidemiology of Health and Deprivation: a Population-Based, Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Health and Social Inequality in Nova Scotia, Canada
(2011-05-02)Narrowing the gap in health inequality is vital not only from an equity point of view but also from an economic cost point of view. Small-area level investigations of health inequalities can play an important role in this ... -
The Geography of Trauma in Nova Scotia
(2018-09-28)Injury is a leading contributor to Canada's disease burden, accounting for over 15.000 deaths annually. Patients who receive care in designated trauma centres (TCs) have been shown to have a lower risk of trauma-related ... -
