In the Wake of Industry: Reprogramming the Halifax Grain Elevator
(2020-08-19)Industrial structures in urban areas often have a contested relationship with humans because of their imposition on the landscape. With many industries now in decline, deindustrialization presents an opportunity to adapt ... -
IN VITRO AND PRE-CLINICAL EVALUATION OF ANTI-METASTATIC ACTIVITY OF PHLORIDZIN DOCOSAHEXAENOATE (PZ-DHA) VERSUS TRIPLE-NEGATIVE BREAST CANCER
(2020-09-11)The World Health Organization identifies breast cancer as the most common cancer among women worldwide. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) lacks receptors for estrogen (ER), progesterone (PR), and human epidermal growth ... -
In vitro copper nanoparticle exposure increases susceptibility of human lung cells to infection by Streptococcus pneumoniae
(2019-11-28)Streptococcus pneumoniae infection can cause pneumonia and invasive pneumococcal disease and is associated with significant morbidity and death worldwide. Moreover, welders are at increased risk of developing pneumococcal ... -
IN VITRO MODEL SYSTEMS FOR INVESTIGATION OF MOTONEURON DEVELOPMENT AND DISEASE
(2016-08-12)Spinal motoneurons innervate muscle fibres and represent the final component in the motor pathway responsible for producing movement by eliciting muscle contraction. Although the anatomy and physiology of motoneurons have ... -
In vitro selection and molecular characterization of red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) regenerative somaclonal variants.
(Dalhousie University, 1997) -
In Vitro Toxicological Evaluation of Airborne Copper-based Nanoparticles
(2019-01-15)A knowledge gap exists concerning the role of metal and metal oxide composition in explaining adverse pulmonary and cardiovascular health effect associations found with inhaled nanoparticles (NPs). This research investigated ... -

(Dalhousie University, 2000) -
(In)visible Generations: Anarchist Technologies and Embodied Resistance
(2012-08-20)This project investigates the employment of new media technologies toward anarchistic revolutionary purposes in three postmodern texts: Williams S. Burroughs’s Nova Trilogy, Thomas Pynchon’s Vineland, and Grant Morrison’s ... -
In-depth Understanding of the Stability Response of a Novel 3D Fiber-Metal Laminate under Axial Impact Loading
(2020-09-11)Environmental concerns have developed significant challenges for various industries, including the automotive industry. In fact, the industry has been challenged to halve vehicles’ fuel consumption by 2025. Considering the ... -
In-line coagulation to reduce high-pressure membrane fouling in an integrated membrane system
(2013-08-26)Membrane fouling is a chronic problem for many nanofiltration (NF) membrane plants. Foulant material can range from colloidal, particulate, inorganic minerals and natural organic matter (NOM) (Schäfer et al., 2006). This ... -
IN-PLANE BEHAVIOUR AND CAPACITY OF CONCRETE MASONRY INFILLS BOUNDED BY STEEL FRAMES
(2011-11-24)Masonry infilled walls have been commonly used as interior partitions as well as exterior walls infilled in either steel or reinforced concrete frames in the modern building constructions. In recent years, much research ... -
IN-PLANE BEHAVIOUR OF MASONRY INFILLED RC FRAMES WITH INTERFACIAL GAPS SUBJECTED TO QUASI-STATIC LOADING
(2017-05-04)Previous research on masonry infilled frames has shown that the presence of infill-to-frame interfacial gaps and infill openings can affect the in-plane strength and stiffness of the infilled frame system. However, most ... -
In-situ Asphalt Master Curve Construction Using Non-destructive Testing Techniques
(2014-12-18)For in-situ asphalt concrete characterization, the MEDPG recommends using the falling weight deflectometer (FWD) to determine the dynamic modulus in combination with the construction of the master curve using the predictive ... -
AN IN-SITU INVESTIGATION OF SOLID ELECTROLYTE INTERPHASE FORMATION ON ELECTRODE MATERIALS FOR LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES USING SPECTROSCOPIC ELLIPSOMETRY
(2011-08-18)A novel method to detect and quantify the growth of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on battery electrode materials using in-situ spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) is presented. The effects of additives in 1 M ... -
[IN]formal: Infrastructure and Citizenship in Manila's Undercity
(2015-04-08)The influx of rural migrants to urban centres in the developing world has resulted in a dichotomous urbanization and the proliferation of informal settlements. Manila, the capital of the Philippines, is no stranger to ... -
Inclusivity and Adaptation: Designing Recreational Space for Individuals with Intellectual Disability
(2021-04-08)This thesis studies Intellectual Disability (ID), and the built environment designed for individuals with ID. It argues that this architecture must be approached strategically and holistically and should be informed by the ... -
Incorporating Geographic and Phylogenetic Information into Density-Equalizing Maps
(2016-04-27)Phylogeography is the study of how geographic and environmental factors affect the evolution of organisms. Phylogeographic analysis combines evolutionary information, often represented using phylogenetic trees, with ... -
Incorporating indigenous forms of governance in the management of natural resources: The case of South Africa's Royal Bafokeng
(2015)South Africa’s Royal Bafokeng community is often cited as an example of community based mineral resource ownership that ought to be considered as an alternative to the central state. This claim is made against the background ... -
