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 ... -
Phenomenological separation in a three-phase hydrocyclone.

Phenotypic plasticity in response to thermal variability within and across generations
(2023-08-25)In their natural habitats, organisms experience environmental variability throughhout their lives at multiple timescales. Yet, their ability to respond to realistic environmental challenges in the long-term is underappreciated ... -
Philosophical Platonism: Plato and the Problems of Philosophy
(2015)In this thesis, I seek to provide an account of the function of philosophical practice as it arose in Classical Greece with the work of Plato. In Chapter 1, I argue for the plausibility of engaging in metaphilosophical ... -
