Hippocampal neuroplasticity and neurogenesis in major depressive disorder: a high field MRI study
DownloadFall 2012
The hippocampus is a brain structure responsible for memory, learning, and the stress response; it is also used as a model for major depressive disorder (MDD) in preclinical studies. Preclinical models have shown that the hippocampal subfields are differentially affected by chronic stress....

In this thesis, measurement and analysis of colloidal forces between an atomic force microscope (AFM) probe and a topographically patterned substrate are reported. The energy between the patterned substrate and a smooth flat plate was characterized mathematically using Surface Element Integration...

Interactions between Amyloid Precursor Protein and Prion Protein Impact Cell Adhesion and Apoptosis in the Developing Zebrafish
DownloadFall 2011
We report here that knockdown of either amyloid precursor protein (APP) or prion protein (PrP) in the zebrafish produces an overt dose-dependent phenotype characterized by systemic morphological defects and CNS cell death. We report findings that the zebrafish PrP-1 gene genetically interacts...

Interactions Between Host Trees, Bacteria, and Fungi: Impacts on Mountain Pine Beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) Reproduction
DownloadFall 2012
Warming winter trends due to climate change have allowed for a range expansion of the mountain pine beetle, and the beetle now threatens Canada’s economically and ecologically important jack pine forests. The beetle’s success in jack pine trees will depend upon successful colonization of the...

Investigation of Environmental and Dynamic Loading Impacts on Flexible Pavement Responses in Cold Climate Conditions
DownloadFall 2016
Flexible pavement design methods have undergone a paradigm shift with particular attention to mechanistic-based approaches, which are based on the actual pavement’s structural behaviour and reflect the pavement performance. The mechanistic design procedures rely on the pavement’s critical...
