Spring 2019
DNA-templated reactions have been utilized in many applications from the detection of a nucleic acid target to applications in nanotechnology. This thesis explores developing bioanalytical strategies based on DNA-templated ligation reactions for sensitive, rapid single nucleotide polymorphism...

Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) protein 2 Like 1 (PKD2L1), also called transient receptor potential polycystin-3 (TRPP3), regulates Ca2+-dependent hedgehog signalling in primary cilia, intestinal development and sour tasting but with an unclear mechanism. PKD2L1 is a Ca2+-permeable cation channel...

Genetic structure of a large recolonizing carnivore: the case of the northern cougars (Puma concolor)
DownloadFall 2023
Anthropogenic activities have pressured and altered landscapes resulting in extinctions and extirpations. However, increased conservation efforts and changing management strategies in some large carnivores have resulted in population and range expansion. Population growth and range expansion are...

The development of efficacious anticancer therapies has significantly improved the prognosis of childhood cancer patients at the price of predisposing survivors to extensive chronic health problems. Although not fatal, reducing treatment-related hearing loss (ototoxicity) among childhood cancer...

Identification of Shared and Distinct Gene-disease Associations Among Multiple Related Diseases and Multiple Subtypes of a Disease
DownloadFall 2013
Genome-wide association study (GWAS) is an approach with high-throughput genotyping to uncover genetic susceptibilities of complex diseases. However, the genetic susceptibilities discovered usually carry very small risk increments. Additionally, the current approach to assess whether these...

Collisions of motorized transport with wildlife impact a wide range of species and can cause injuries and economic losses to people. On roads, vehicle collisions with animals have been studied extensively, resulting in mitigation measures that reduce collisions by segregating animals and...

Influence of lipids (arachidonic acid and cholesterol) on calcium signalling in rodent pancreatic beta cells
DownloadFall 2010
Ca2+ is an important mediator of stimulus-secretion coupling in beta cells of the pancreatic islets, which secrete insulin in response to elevation in plasma glucose concentration. I studied the actions of two lipids, arachidonic acid (AA) and cholesterol, on enzymatically-dissociated single...

Mapping QTLs for different traits in conventional and organic management systems and evaluating the effects of Lr34/Yr18 and Lr37/Yr17 in a Canadian western hard spring wheat population
DownloadSpring 2019
Canadian western red spring wheat (CWRS) has been predominantly cultivated class in Western Canada, because of its premium quality attributes and excellent adaptability to the relatively short growing season. Early maturity, short plant stature, higher grain yield, protein content and dough...

Fall 2009
The computational ability of principal neurons and interneurons in the brain and their ability to work together in concert are thought to underlie higher order cognitive processes such as learning, memory, and attention. Dendrites play a very important role in neuronal information processing...

Dispersal by flight is a complex life history phase in many insects that is essential to gene flow and range expansion. Many elements contribute to realized dispersal, including biotic and abiotic environmental conditions, as well as intrinsic factors such as morphology, physiology and behavior....
