Mapping of genomic regions associated with agronomic traits and resistance to diseases in Canadian spring wheat
DownloadSpring 2017
Wheat breeders, in addition to phenotypic selection, employ molecular markers in their programs for different purposes, including parental selection, quality control, analysis of advanced lines (cultivars), on genetic purity and identity, and for markers assisted selection. In the first study of...

Angiotensin II signals cardiovascular disease through metalloproteinases including MMP-2, MMP-7 and ADAM-17/TACE. We hypothesized that these metalloproteinases regulate each other at the transcriptional level. Further, MMP-2, being a major gelatinase in cardiac and vascular tissue, could mediate...

Middle-Aged and Older Adult Walking and Hiking Groups of Cochrane, Alberta: How Outdoor Group Exercise Influences Perceptions of Health, Healing, and Disease
DownloadFall 2011
Middle-aged and older adult walking and hiking groups of Cochrane had unique perceptions of health and healing due to their activities, the equipment they used, the environments they explored, and the relationships they developed. Past anthropological research has focused on aging, ethnomedicine,...

Multilocus sequence typing analysis of Clostridium perfringens isolates from necrotic enteritis outbreaks in broiler chickens
Download2008
Jiang, Y. F., Hunter, D. B., Parreira, V. R., Bruce, H. L., Kulkarni, R. R., Prescott, J. F., Chalmers, G., Boerlin, P.
Clostridium perfringens is an important pathogen of animals and humans and is the causative agent of necrotic enteritis (NE) in poultry. This study focuses on the typing of intestinal C. perfringens isolates (n 61) from outbreaks of NE collected from several areas of Southern Ontario, using a...

Pathologic Evaluation of Type 2 PorcineReproductive and Respiratory SyndromeVirus Infection at the Maternal-FetalInterface of Late Gestation Pregnant Gilts
Download2016-03-10
Novakovic, Predrag, Harding, John C. S., Al-Dissi, Ahmad, Ladinig, Andrea, Detmer, Susan E.
The pathogenesis of fetal death caused by porcine reproductive and respiratory syndromevirus (PRRSV) remains unclear. The objective of this study was to improve our understand-ing of the pathogenesis by assessing potential relationships between specific histopatho-logical lesions and PRRSV RNA...

Berry, K.M., Erickson, T., Callander, D., Koss, R., Ngai, J., Stout, J., Waskiewicz, A.J., Wuennenberg-Stapleton, K., Moens, C.B., Hagey, D.W., French, C.R.
Background Pbx genes encode TALE class homeodomain transcription factors that pattern the developing neural tube, pancreas, and blood. Within the hindbrain, Pbx cooperates with Hox proteins to regulate rhombomere segment identity. Pbx cooperates with Eng to regulate midbrain-hindbrain boundary...

Plasma Transferred Arc Additive Manufacturing Using 17-4 Precipitation Hardened Stainless Steel
DownloadSpring 2021
Plasma transferred arc additive manufacturing (PTA-AM) is a newly developed additive manufacturing (AM) process for the manufacturing of large industrial parts for the resource sector. A common material used in numerous industries is 17-4 precipitation hardened (PH) stainless steel, mainly due...

Background. It has been suggested that the routine use of statins preoperatively would reduce the risk of postoperative infection. We conducted this study to explore whether preoperative statin use was associated with infection after cardiac surgery (recipients of which have a higher-than-average...

The Kim and Chan experiment in 2004 gave the first experimental evidence of a possible supersolid state. Even though the origin of this state is not clear yet, several experimental and theoretical investigations suggest defects are responsible for this curious phase. We have used heat pulses and...
