The Post-Spawning Ecology of Iteroparous Salmonids: Basis of Variability in Migratory Behaviour and Survival, Ecological Importance and Conservation Implications
(2019-10-07)The overarching objective of my thesis is to shed light on a poorly understood life history stage of salmonid fish species, by quantifying spatio-temporal variation in the ecological importance of iteroparity (i.e. repeated ... -
POST-SPINAL CORD INJURY BELOW-LESION NEUROPATHIC PAIN: MECHANISMS AND NOVEL THERAPEUTIC APPROACHES
(2012-01-03)Neuropathic pain is a significant and frequent outcome of spinal cord injury (SCI), and is often refractory to treatment. A better understanding of the pathological processes following injury that contribute to the ... -
Post-Surgical Natural Killer T Cell Activation as a Potential Therapy for Metastatic Breast Cancer
(2015-04-23)Natural Killer T (NKT) cells are a specialized group of immune-regulatory T lymphocytes. NKT cells have been shown to limit primary tumor growth and target distant metastatic disease in murine cancer models and in human ... -
Post-Translational Modification of Formate Dehydrogenase, a Stress-Response Protein
(2017-05-11)The ability of a plant to adapt to environmental stress is crucial for its ability to grow, develop to maturity and produce yield. The ubiquitination pathway is a post-translational mechanism that aids plants in producing ... -
Postglacial chronology and geohazards of Pond Inlet and Eclipse Sound, northeastern Baffin Island, Nunavut
(2019-04-04)The fjords and inlets of Baffin Island contain a largely untapped postglacial sedimentary archive that records the timing and rates of important Arctic landscape, glacial, and geohazard responses to tectonic and climate ... -

Potential Formulation For The Dynamics Of Pressure Spiking In Response To Fluid Percussion Brain Injury
(2017-02-21)A mathematical description of percussive pressure events is considered. This model gives a clearer clinical understanding of how these events lead to percussion injury affecting the brain, a mechanism for traumatic brain ... -
Potential Inversions And Local Adaptation Among Small Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) Populations
(2023-04-25)Chromosomal inversions can play a role in local adaptation as advantageous alleles become linked by supressed recombination in heterokaryotypes. Understanding the role of inversions in adaptation among small, isolated ... -
Potential mediators of the downregulation of cytochrome P450 during central inflammation.

POTENTIAL OF WASTE-TO-ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES IN SAUDI ARABIA – IMPACT OF INCREASED POPULATION, HAJJ AND UMRAH, AND GLOBAL WASTE REDUCTION TRENDS IN 2030
(2019-11-27)Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Management is an ever-present environmental issue in many developing nations, including the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), where each year millions of Muslims across the world visit the Holy ... -
POTENTIAL ROLE OF IRON CHELATION IN EXPERIMENTAL SEPSIS
(2019-12-19)Sepsis is a life-threatening medical condition characterized by a dysregulated immune response to an infection. The increasing incidence, remaining high mortality and enormous costs burden, make sepsis a real public health ... -
Potential roles of the chaperonin (HtpB), polyamines, and the polyamine binding protein (PotD) in Legionella pneumophila pathogenesis
(2011-09-06)The intracellular pathogen Legionella pneumophila replicates in a membrane-bound compartment known as the Legionella-containing vacuole (LCV) where it abundantly releases its chaperonin HtpB, suggesting that HtpB may have ... -
Potential Urban Forest Carbon Sequestration and Storage Capacities in Burnside Industrial Park, Nova Scotia
(2012-05-22)Urban and industrial settings represent potential areas for increased carbon (C) sequestration and storage through intensified tree growth. Consisting of an estimated 1270 ha of land once entirely forested, Burnside ... -
