Morphological characterization of fungi associated with the ascochyta blight complex and pathogenic variability of Mycosphaerella pinodes on field pea crops in central Alberta
Download2015
Gossen, Bruce, Strelkov, Stephen, Ahmed, Hafiz, Hwang, Sheau-Fang, Zhou, Qixing, Conner, Robert, Chang, Kan-Fan, Fu, Heting
Field pea crops in central Alberta were surveyed for ascochyta blight from 2011 to 2012 and fungal isolates were recovered from foliar lesions on selected plants. Cultural and microscopic characterization of the 275 isolates obtained revealed that 272 were of Mycosphaerella pinodes and three were...

Genome-wide association and genomic prediction of breeding values for fatty acid composition in subcutaneous adipose and longissimus lumborum muscle of beef cattle
Download2015
Ekine-Dzivenu, Chinyere, Basarab, John A., Li, Changxi, Chen, Liuhong, Vinsky, Michael D., Aalhus, Jennifer L., Fitzsimmons, Carolyn J., Stothard, Paul, Dugan, Mike E. R.
Background Identification of genetic variants that are associated with fatty acid composition in beef will enhance our understanding of host genetic influence on the trait and also allow for more effective improvement of beef fatty acid profiles through genomic selection and marker-assisted diet...

Background The increasing push to commercialize university research has emerged as a significant science policy challenge. While the socio-economic benefits of increased and rapid research commercialization are often emphasized in policy statements and discussions, there is less mention or...

Long-term effect of docosahexaenoic acid feeding on lipid composition and brain fatty acid-binding protein expression in rats
Download2015
Moncton, Elizabeth A., Brun, Miranda, Emara, Marwan, Field, Catherine J., Goruk, Susan, Godbout, Roseline, Elsherbiny, Marwa E., Richard, Caroline
Arachidonic (AA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) brain accretion is essential for brain development. The impact of DHA-rich maternal diets on offspring brain fatty acid composition has previously been studied up to the weanling stage; however, there has been no follow-up at later stages. Here, we...

There are many reasons, some of which are better than others for sustaining motivation over the long run. Research evidence suggests that a personally relevant, self-engaged, and inherently interested orientation to language study supports engagement in the learning process, and thereby a variety...

The standard centrifuge method accurately measures vulnerability curves of longvesselled olive stems
Download2015
Venturas, M.D., Sperry, J.S., Hacke, U.G., Pratt, R.B. , Jacobsen, J.S., MacKinnon, E.D.
The standard centrifuge method has been frequently used to measure vulnerability to xylem cavitation. This method has recently been questioned. It was hypothesized that open vessels lead to exponential vulnerability curves, which were thought to be indicative of measurement artifact. We tested...

A 4D filtering and calibration technique for small-scale point cloud change detection with a terrestrial laser scanner
Download2015
Hutchinson, D. Jean, Kromer, Ryan A., Edwards, Tom, Lato, Matt, Jaboyedoff, Michel, Abellán, Antonio
This study presents a point cloud de-noising and calibration approach that takes advantage of point redundancy in both space and time (4D). The purpose is to detect displacements using terrestrial laser scanner data at the sub-mm scale or smaller, similar to radar systems, for the study of very...

Community Engagement in the Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences: Academic Dispositions, Institutional Dilemmas
Download2015
Dorow, Sara, Acuña, Nicole Smith
Engaged scholarship is increasingly concerned with how community engagement might be institutionalized in the contemporary university. At the same time, it must be attentive to diverse academic approaches to knowledge and to the forms of engagement associated with them. Attention to this...

Don't Make Me Type: A Study of Students' Perceptions of Library Catalogues on Tablet Computers
Download2015-07-01
The objective of this mixed methods pilot study was to ascertain university students’ perceptions of online library catalogues using tablet computers, to determine how the participants used tablets and whether or not the NEOS consortium catalogue (NEOS) played an important role in the...
