Spring 2011
Meat characteristics and physiological stress measurements in bison exposed to different ante-mortem treatment groups and reasons behind the rapid discolouration of fresh bison meat (compared to beef) were examined. It was hypothesized that bison slaughtered on farm (dispatched in pen, MLAPEN, or...

Method, degree and lineage of prenatal maternal stress: effects on inflammatory and stress marker profiles of reproductive tissues and pregnancy outcomes
DownloadSpring 2023
Lopes, Nayara Gabriela Antunes
Prenatal maternal stress (PNMS) is any type of stress that pregnant women and animals experience. It was reported that over 70% of pregnant women experience low to moderate stress, while 6% experience high stress. Growing evidence indicates that PNMS influences maternal and offspring health...

Natural and Drilling induced Fractures in the Grosmont Formation, Alberta: Implications for the State of Stress
DownloadFall 2017
The Devonian Grosmont formation is a huge heavy oil carbonate reservoir located in northeastern Alberta that has an estimated 64.5 x 〖10〗^9 m^3 initial oil in place. This thesis will focus on issues related to the in situ state of stress and the natural fracture statistics within the Grosmont...

Proteomic analysis of wheat (Triticum aestivum) whole roots and cell walls under water-deficit stress
DownloadSpring 2011
Wheat plants are affected by water-deficit stress in various regions of the world resulting in reduced crop productivity and thus decreased food production. To better understand the protein changes of water-deficit stress in wheat roots, comparative proteomics was performed using 2D gel...

Structural equation model testing and the quality of natural killer cell activity measurements
Download2005
Pazderka-Robinson, H., Hayduk, L., Levers, M.J., Cummings, G.G., Beres, M.A.
Background: Browne et al. [Browne, MacCallum, Kim, Andersen, Glaser: When fit indices and residuals are incompatible. Psychol Methods 2002] employed a structural equation model of measurements of target cell lysing by natural killer cells as an example purportedly demonstrating that small but...

Boonstra, R., Hik, D., Tinnikov, A., Singleton, G. R.
The sublethal effects of high predation risk on both prey behavior and physiology may have long-term consequences for prey population dynamics. We tested the hypothesis that snowshoe hares during the population decline are chronically stressed because of high predation risk whereas those during...
