Effects of dietary enrichment with a marine oil-based n-3 LCPUFA supplement in sows with predicted birth weight phenotypes on birth litter quality and growth performance to weaning
Download2015
Patterson, Jennifer L., Foxcroft, George R., Dixon, Walter T., Spencer, Joel D., Smit, M. N., Dyck, Michael K.
The effects of a marine oil-based n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (mLCPUFA) supplement fed to the sow from weaning, through the rebreeding period, during gestation and until end of lactation on litter characteristics from birth until weaning were studied in sows with known litter birth...

Dyck, Michael K., Foxcroft, George R., Patterson, Jennifer L., Dixon, Walter T., Smit, M. N., Spencer, Joel D.
Effects of a marine oil-based n-3 LCPUFA supplement (mLCPUFA) fed from weaning until the end of the next lactation to sows with a predicted low litter birth weight (LBW) phenotype on growth performance and carcass quality of litters born to these sows were studied, based on the hypothesis that...

Effects of the endophyte Piriformospora indica on growth, physiology and water relations of tobacco (Nicotiana tobacum)
DownloadSpring 2012
In the current study, wildtype and transgenic tobacco constitutively over-expressing Arabidopsis aquaporins PIP 1;4 and PIP 2;5 were grown in association with the endophyte Piriformospora indica. Root hydraulic conductivity along with various physiological parameters and aquaporin expression were...

Factors affecting larval growth and development of the boreal chorus frog Pseudacris maculata
DownloadFall 2010
The boreal chorus frog (Pseudacris maculata) is a widespread species but we know little of its ecology. I examined the nature and existence of competitive mechanisms operating between larvae of the boreal chorus frog and wood frog (Lithobates sylvaticus) from field, mesocosm and laboratory venues...

FEM Simulation of Non-Progressive Growth from Asymmetric Loading and Vicious Cycle Theory: Scoliosis Study Proof of Concept
Download2010
Fok, Jonathan W., Carey, Jason P., Adeeb, Samer
Scoliosis affects about 1-3% of the adolescent population, with 80% of cases being idiopathic. There is currently a lack of understanding regarding the biomechanics of scoliosis, current treatment methods can be further improved with a greater understanding of scoliosis growth patterns. The...

FINITE ELEMENT CHARACTERIZATION OF THE BEHAVIOUR OF MASONRY INFILL SHEAR WALLS WITH AND WITHOUT OPENINGS
DownloadFall 2014
The current design practice is to ignore the interaction between masonry infill walls and containing frames due to the inadequate and incomplete guidance in current codes and standards. Most investigations on the behaviour of masonry infill shear walls were performed on scaled specimens and...

Fall 2017
A recent application of borehole thermal energy storage (BTES) technology to residential properties in Canada shows a significant reduction in the use of natural gas thereby saving energy consumption and reducing the generation of greenhouse gases. However, due to the construction principles of...
