MECHANISMS OF SEX DIFFERENCES IN RIGHT (-SIDED) HEART FAILURE: ROLE OF ANGIOGENESIS
(2022-12-08)Female sex is associated with better right ventricular (RV) adaptation and survival in patients with elevated RV afterload. Understanding the mechanisms responsible for sex differences in RV adaptation and development of ... -
Mechanisms of short term and long term memory in cortex: Neural fields and synaptic plasticity.
(Dalhousie University, 2007) -
Mechanisms Underlying the Learning of Skilled Movement Execution via Motor Imagery
(2021-08-31)Learning to move skillfully is a fundamental behaviour. Motor skills can be learned even in the absence of overt bodily movement through a process known as motor imagery — the mental rehearsal of movement — which has ... -
Mechanistic Contributions of the p10 FAST Protein Ectodomains to Membrane Fusion and Syncytiogenesis
(2013-12-16)The homologous p10 fusion-associated small transmembrane (FAST) proteins of the fusogenic avian (ARV) and Nelson Bay (NBV) reoviruses are the smallest known proteins capable of mediating syncytiogenesis. Their extremely ... -
MECHANISTIC INSIGHT INTO THE PROLACTIN-/ANDROGEN-INDUCIBLE CARBOXYPEPTIDASE-D AND EDD E3 UBIQUITIN LIGASE GENES IN TRIPLE-NEGATIVE BREAST CANCER
(2020-08-07)Membrane-bound Carboxypeptidase-D (CPD) hydrolyzes C-terminal arginine residues from extracellular substrates. Released arginine, taken into cells, is converted into nitric oxide (NO). Our laboratory has shown that CPD ... -

(Dalhousie University, 1990) -
Mechanistic studies on the photolysis of naphthylmethyl esters of carboxylic acids.
(Dalhousie University, 1990) -
MECHANISTIC STUDY OF RAW WATER BIOFILTRATION FOR SURFACE WATER MANGANESE CONTROL
(2023-11-10)Biofiltration is a sustainable method for removing dissolved manganese (Mn) from water. This treatment is well established in groundwater studies, where a simple aeration-biofiltration designs are used to remove Mn, iron ... -
Mechanochemically alloyed Si-TM (TM=Fe, Cr) and Quantitative Composition Determination by Mössbauer Spectroscopy
(2020-04-14)Si as a negative electrode material in Li-on batteries has garnered considerable research interest because of its volumetric capacity, thermal stability, and relative low cost. However, because Si does not store Li via an ... -
MEDIATING BETWEEN LAND AND SEA: PUBLIC SWIMMING POOLS AS A RESERVATION OF THE URBAN WATERFRONT
(2014-08-22)This thesis primarily explores the materiality of water by focusing on its containment and experiential qualities. By identifying the urban waterfront as a porous medium belong- ing to both the city and the sea, the design ... -
Mediation of the Association Between Interpregnancy Weight Change and Perinatal Outcomes by Gestational Weight Gain
(2023-08-29)Interpregnancy weight gain is associated with perinatal outcomes in the subsequent pregnancy. The objective of this study was to examine mediation of these associations by gestational weight gain (GWG) in the subsequent ... -
MEDICAL ELECTRODE QUALIFICATION: PRELIMINARY DESIGN, INTEGRATION, AND VALIDATION OF THE TESTING SETUP
(2022-10-25)Over the past decades, researchers have been increasingly interested in developing and fabricating various new types of medical electrodes for the purpose of monitoring biopotentials or health signs. Among these electrodes, ... -
Medication Adherence Reminder (MAR): A Comparison of Persuasive Techniques to Promote Medication Adherence
(2018-05-31)This thesis investigates the effectiveness of three versions of a mobile persuasive application called Medication Adherence Reminder (MAR) in promoting medication adherence level among patients. MAR-1 offers a reminder ... -
Medicine & Power: Authority and British Caribbean Medical Practitioners, 1750-1823
(2019-05-01)In the late eighteenth-century on British Caribbean Plantations, there were dynamic groups of medical practitioners operating within the same physical space. The plantation healthcare system was made up of white doctors ... -
MEDICINFOSYS: AN ARCHITECTURE FOR AN EVIDENCE-BASED MEDICAL INFORMATION RESEARCH AND DELIVERY SYSTEM
(2010-08-19)Due to the complicated nature of medical information needs, the time constraints of clinicians, and the linguistic complexities and sheer volume of medical information, most medical questions go unanswered. It has been ... -
MEDIUM TERM PRODUCTION PLANNING AND CAMPAIGN SCHEDULING FOR SAWMILL
(2013-02-14)In this thesis, we study a multi-period, multi-product, production planning problem for the lumber industry, and present a hierarchical approach to control and schedule lumber production in a sawmill. First, at the sawing ... -
