The cumulative effects of hypoxia and hyperglycemia on cardiac oxidative stress
(2014-01-22)
Hyperglycaemia-induced oxidative stress plays an important role in cardiomyocyte
cell death leading to cardiac dysfunction. Autophagy is an intracellular bulk degradation
process and can be induced by stressors such as ...
Performance and emissions of a DI diesel engine fueled by different biodiesel blends
(2014-01-22)
Biodiesel has been a promising clean alternative fuel to fossil fuels, which reduces the emissions that are released by fossil fuels, and possibly reduces the energy crisis caused by the exhaustion of petroleum resources ...
Plant microfossil analysis of middle woodland food residues, northern Minnesota
(2014-12-12)
Northern Minnesota lies within the southern edge of the Boreal Forest and, as a result, archaeological sites in this region typically have poor organic preservation and thin, disturbed, stratigraphy. For this reason, little ...
Intra-lake and inter-lake variation in copper tolerance in Daphnia from clean and metal-contaminated lakes
(2014-01-22)
The freshwater invertebrate Daphnia can persist in historically metal-contaminated lakes
due to its ability to adapt to metal contamination. Since different Daphnia isolates have been
shown to have varying degrees of ...
Seeing without rods or cones: contributions of intrinsically-photosensitive retinal ganglion cells to the image-forming visual system
(2014-01-22)
It was long thought that rods and cones were the only components of the mammalian retina capable of conveying light information to the brain. Recently, a novel class of transduction-capable retinal ganglion cells containing ...
Who we are is where we come from : a historical curriculum resource for the Pic Mobert First Nation
(2014-01-22)
This qualitative study was undertaken in order to create a curriculum resource for use at the Netamisakomik Centre for Education (K-Grade 8 School) on the Pic Mobert First Nation. The Pic Mobert First Nation is located in ...
The effect of Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation on lipid composition, oxidative stress, and aldehyde concentrations in rat liver and brain
(2014-01-22)
Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production and removal of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), due to their multiple carbon-carbon double bonds, react readily with ROS ...
Through the looking glass: a qualitative study of film in First Nations communities
(2014-01-22)
This thesis explores the use of film and its effectiveness in capturing knowledge being
transmitted from Elders to Youth while providing a ‘true’ indigenous voice. The research
is based on a case study conducted with two ...
Integrating a tactical harvest-scheduling model with a log sort-yard location model
(2014-01-22)
Failure to sort logs prior to their transportation to a mill can result in a loss of
value in the forest products supply chain—for unsorted, higher value logs can be used in
a low-value product where lower valued logs ...
Testate amoebae (thecamoebian) based reconstruction of Lake Simcoe fringe wetland paleoenvironments
(2014-12-12)
Lake Simcoe, Ontario, Canada, a large southern Ontario
glacial lake, has been affected by multiple environmental
stressors throughout its history. This study uses testate
amoebae paleodistribution to reconstruct the ...
