(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2016)Particleboard is known to cause broader environmental issues when large amounts are sent to the landfills. The toxic adhesive resin urea formaldehyde, used to bind the wood fibers, causes contamination of groundwater in ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2017)In recent studies, it has been observed that genes that have been duplicated during the course of vertebrate evolution are overrepresented among those genes that cause Mendelian diseases. My objective was to determine ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2014)Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) is a material commonly used to construct furniture and is an engineered product made up of wood particles bonded with the adhesive resin, urea-formaldehyde. In the presence of the resin, MDF ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2014)Sample preparation is an important aspect in the extraction of potentially pharmaceutical compounds found in traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs). It is valuable to understand which preparation method is ideal for each ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University,, 2012)Previous studies have showed that H[subscript 2] evolved from HUP- legume nodules is oxidized by rhizospheric microorganisms and alters the soil microbial diversity in rhizosphere. This H[subscript 2] oxidation is linked ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2010)Previous studies have shown that H₂ from HUPˉ legume nodules promotes plant growth and enhances N₂O emission from soil, possibly as the result of hydrogen-induced variation of rhizobacterial community structure. Using ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2016)Ascophyllum nodosum extract (ANE) is a processed brown seaweed extract used as a biostimulant. The known effects of ANE, when applied to plants in the aforementioned agricultural setting, include amplified plant growth, ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2016)A new promising energy crop, giant reed (Arundo donax. L), has the potential for high biomass production with low agricultural input. However, two field experiments completed in Nova Scotia showed that giant reed cannot ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2016)To understand the underlying mechanisms and bioactive components within ANE, the effects of ANE and its compositional oligosaccharides on the soybean transcriptome profile were compared. All treatments commonly up-regulated ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2014)Urea-formaldehyde polymers undergo hydrolysis to break into their monomeric components; one of which is formaldehyde. When resin containing wood chips are put into anaerobic bioreactors it is suspected that formaldehyde ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2009)The persistence of allegedly inefficient hydrogenase uptake negative (HUP⁻) legume-rhizobia associations may be accounted for by the beneficial effects of hydrogen release to soil, including the stimulation of H₂-oxidizing, ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2008)In a previous study, twenty hydrogen-oxidizing bacterial strains showing positive plant root elongation effects were isolated. However, T-RFLP work showed that none of these isolates contributed to hydrogen induced TRF ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2015)Neuroplasticity is related to the addition of additional axon collaterals and dendrites between a nerve cell and one it has previously shared a connection in order to strengthen, re-establish or forge brand new connections ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2005)Previous studies have shown that the hydrogen (H₂) gas evolved from legume nodules inoculated by hydrogen releasing (Hup⁻) rhizobium strains contributes to growth promotion of subsequent crop plants by altering the populations ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2006)Previous studies have showed that the hydrogen gas evolved from Hup - legume nodules promotes plant growth and increases the hydrogen uptake rate of soils adjacent to Hup - nodules. This may be resulted from hydrogen-induced ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2016)Urea-formaldehyde (UF) is a resin commonly used as an adhesive for medium density fiberboard (MDF). Diverting MDF from Canadian landfills is important to decrease annual methane emissions. The use of anaerobic digestion ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2014)Metastasis, the migration of cells from a primary tumour site to distant tissues, is associated with the degradation of the epithelial basement membrane and extracellular matrix in connective tissue and often leads to poor ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2017)Ascophyllum nodosum extract (ANE) is a biostimulant that is derived from brown algae and has been reported to promote plant growth and resistance against biotic and abiotic stresses. The major dry components of Ascophyllum ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2012)In this study, all inoculated pulse crops formed nodules that release H2 to the surrounding soil (HUP- nodule). The soil around HUP- nodules showed a higher H2 uptake rate and CO2 fixation. The barley inoculated with soil ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2011)The release of H[subscript 2] from legume nodules has many positive effects on soil health; H[subscript 2] has been shown to increase CO[subscript 2] fixation in soils. RubisCO plays an important role in bacterial CO[subscript ...
