Copresentation of antigen and ligands of Siglec-G induces B cell tolerance independent of CD22
2013
Pfrengle, F., Kawasaki, N., Paulson, J. C. , Macauley, M. S.
Differentiation of self from nonself is indispensable for maintaining B cell tolerance in peripheral tissues. CD22 and Siglec-G (sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin G) are two inhibitory coreceptors of the BCR that are implicated in maintenance of tolerance to self Ags. Enforced ligation of CD22...

Development of Empirical Models to Predict Deposition of Aerosols in the Extrathoracic Airways of Children
DownloadSpring 2012
The experimental studies described in this thesis were performed with the goal of measuring deposition of aerosols, inhaled either nasally or orally, in the extrathoracic airways of children in different age groups. We pursued in vitro methods and characterized the deposition of aerosols in the...

Welz, M., Faulkner, S.G., Tonn, W.M., Schmitt, D.R.
Industrial development, including geophysical exploration and mining, has increased use of explosives in and near fish habitat. To protect fish and their incubating eggs, Canadian blasting guidelines contain maximum allowable limits for overpressure and peak particle velocity (PPV). Although many...

Effects of long-term nitrogen and sulfur deposition on soil microbial communities and soil properties in the Athabasca oil sands region in northern Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2016
Intensified oil sands activities have resulted in elevated levels of nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) deposition in the mixedwood boreal forest in the Athabasca oil sands region (AOSR) of northern Alberta, Canada. The deposition of N and S can affect the surrounding ecosystem and it is important to...

Faulkner, S.G., Tonn, W.M., Schmitt, D.R., Welz, M.
Blasting in or near water can negatively affect fish. In Canada, there are maximum allowable limits for blasting-induced overpressure (100 kPa) and peak particle velocity (PPV; 13 mm/s) to protect fish and their incubating eggs, respectively. No studies, however, have related PPVs from blasting...

Heart transplantation (HTx) is a life-saving intervention for patients with end-stage heart failure. Nonetheless, the development of Chronic Allograft Vasculopathy (CAV) limits the longevity of transplanted cardiac allografts and the survival of recipients. The pathogenesis of CAV begins with a...

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the developed world. The disease results from the combined effects of genetic, environmental, reproductive and lifestyle risk factors. Germline DNA variations identified thus far by linkage and genome-wide association studies (GWASs) account...

Growth and Characterization of Metastable Hexagonal Nickel Thin Films via Plasma-Enhanced Atomic Layer Deposition
Download2017-07-01
Motamedi, Pouyan, Bosnick, ken, Cui, Kai, Cadien, Ken, Hogan, James D.
There is a great interest in various branches of the advanced materials industry for the development of novel methods (and improvements to existing ones) for the deposition of conformal ultrathin metallic films. In most of these applications, like enhanced solar absorbers and microelectronics,...

The electrocardiogram (ECG) records the electrical activity of a patient’s heart movement. It is one of the standard routine healthcare tests as it is non-invasive and easy to apply. In this thesis, we analyze 2 million ECGs and over 260,000 patients’ health records from the Alberta Health...

Life History Strategies in Extreme Environments: Comparative Demography of Arctic and Alpine Ptarmigan
Download2005
Hannon, S. J., Sandercock, B. K., Martin, K.
Abstract: Arctic and alpine habitats are extreme environments characterized by short breeding seasons, cold temperatures, limited food availability, and potentially high predation rates. Stringent ecological conditions are likely to have important consequences for the evolution of life history...
