Phanerozoic Exhumation History of Hall Peninsula, Baffin Island: Insights from Apatite and Zircon (U-Th-Sm)/He Thermochronology and 3D Thermokinematic Modeling
(2016-04-29)The eastern Canadian Arctic Rim (eCAR) is a rugged, high-relief landscape extending along the continental margin from northern Labrador to southeastern Ellesmere Island. While much of the relief along the eCAR may be related ... -
Phantasmagoria: Between Waste and Ritual
(2024-04-05)This thesis centres the idea of waste as a socially produced characteristic not inherent to material objects, but rather, created through ambiguity and their inability to be assimilated into existing social, cultural, and ... -
PHARMACISTS AS IMMUNIZERS IN NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA: IDENTIFYING IMMUNIZATION PRESCRIBING TRENDS AND PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS
(2023-12-15)The study objectives were to 1.) describe demographic characteristics of individuals prescribed immunizations by pharmacists in Nova Scotia, comparing characteristics pre- and during COVID-19 and against the provincial ... -
PHARMACOLOGICAL MANIPULATION OF MICROGLIA TO SUPPRESS NEUROINFLAMMATION AND PROTECT NEURONS
(2023-08-30)Microglia are the resident immune cells of the brain that survey the microenvironment, provide trophic support to neurons, and clear debris to maintain homeostasis and healthy brain function. Microglia are also drivers of ... -

The Pharmacology of Cannabinoids and Cannabimimetic Ligands in the Eye and their Effects on Intraocular Pressure
(2015)Cannabinoids produce ocular hypotension via activation of cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1). Adrenergic receptors (ARs) may contribute to this effect. Recently de-orphaned receptors, GPR55 and GPR18, are activated by some ... -
PHASE CHANGE BEHAVIOUR OF LAURIC ACID IN A HORIZONTAL CYLINDRICAL LATENT HEAT ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM
(2012-08-23)This work presents an experimental and numerical study of phase change behaviour in a horizontal cylindrical latent heat energy storage system (LHESS). Fins with two orientations, straight fins and angled fins, are added ... -
Phase Change Materials for Solar Thermal Energy Storage
(2014-04-29)Phase change materials (PCMs) are a viable option for compact thermal energy storage. Effective designs using PCMs require accurate knowledge of the thermal and physical properties, but for many PCMs these are not well ... -
Phase Change Materials for Thermal Energy Storage
(2021-02-11)Phase change materials (PCM) offer promise for thermal energy storage. PCMs store heat primarily through the enthalpy change of a phase transition, typically melting. A PCM’s melting and crystallization temperatures should ... -
PHASE DIAGRAMS OF LAURIC ACID, HEXANE AND THE IONIC LIQUID TRIHEXYL(TETRADECYL)PHOSPHONIUM CHLORIDE
(2014-08-19)Mass and molar phase diagrams of lauric acid (LA), hexane and the ionic liquid (IL) trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium chloride were developed at room temperature. The diagrams and experimental tie-lines were obtained for the ... -
A PHASE III RANDOMIZED DOUBLE-BLIND PLACEBO-CONTROLLED CLINICAL TRIAL TO ASSESS THE EFFECTS OF FERAMAX® WHEN ADMINISTERED ORALLY ONCE A DAY ON POSTOPERATIVE FATIGUE LEVELS IN PATIENTS FOLLOWING ELECTIVE CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFT SURGERY
(2019-11-19)Fatigue is one of the most prevalent and troublesome symptoms experienced by patients after undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. It is often associated with significant morbidity, impairments in mobility, ... -
PHASE MATCHING FOR DIFFERENCE FREQUENCY GENERATION USING NANOSTRUCTURED METAMATERIALS
(2020-07-06)The mid-IR frequency region is highly intriguing due to its transition response to gas molecules. To date, this region has provided numerous applications, such as gas detection, atmospheric monitoring, and environmental ... -
Phenological and Monitoring Considerations for Carrot Weevil (Listronotus oregonensis) in Nova Scotia
(2017-06-29)Carrot weevil, Listronotus oregonensis, is a pest of carrot throughout Eastern Canada. Oviposition and development of carrot weevil were monitored in Nova Scotia and the degree day (DD) timing of development of key life ... -
Phenological Study and Management of Red Fescue (Festuca rubra) in Wild Blueberry
(2014-08-22)Red fescue is a perennial rhizomatous and sod forming turf grass species that is a newly emerging weed in wild blueberry fields of Nova Scotia. There is no published information on the impact, phenology and effective control ... -
The Phenomenal Chinook: Experientially Bridging Architecture and Nature Through Wind Design in Lethbridge, Alberta
(2022-04-12)In the Western world, we continue to perceive nature as separate from ourselves and the built environment, perpetuating the extinction of experience that distances environmental harm from the human domain. This thesis ... -
