The Genomic Basis and Spatial Scale of Variation in Thermal Responses of Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua)

Oomen, Rebekah Alice (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

MacDonald, William (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 organization of the nuclear ribosomal RNA genes and primary sequence analysis of the ribosomal spacer DNA in the flagellate protoctist, Crithidia fasciculata.

Collings, James Clark. (Dalhousie University, 1991)

Genomic Perspectives for Conservation and Management of Atlantic Cod in Coastal Labrador

Sinclair-Waters, Marion (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

Valipour, Shafagh (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

Thilakarathna, Ranaweera Mudiyanselae Malinda Sameera (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 ...

GEOCHEMISTRY OF ARSENIC IN MAGMATIC SYSTEMS WITH SOME RESULTS FOR ANTIMONY

Maciag, Bryan (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 ...

Geographic and socioeconomic determinants of health services utilization and clinical outcomes in ischemic heart disease patients in Nova Scotia.

Hassan, Ansar. (Dalhousie University, 2007)

Geographical Epidemiology of Health and Deprivation: a Population-Based, Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Health and Social Inequality in Nova Scotia, Canada

Terashima, Mikiko (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 ...
