Recruitment of neutrophils to the lymph node and their role at steady state and after Staphylococcus aureus infection
(Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, 2020-03-25)The contribution of lymph nodes to the adaptive immune response is well studied. However, their function as an innate immune organ has been overlooked. In this thesis, neutrophils are identified in the lymph node at steady ... -
Digestomics: elucidating protein catabolism through the quantitative mapping of in vivo, endogenous peptides to the proteome at an amino acid level of resolution.
(Science, University of Calgary, 2020-03-13)Plasmodium falciparum is the most lethal malaria-causing parasite. During the human stage of its lifecycle it invades erythrocytes and rapidly degrades 65-70% of the cytoplasmic hemoglobin. Despite extensive in vitro ... -
Geomaterial-Functionalized Microfluidic Devices for Multiphase Flow in Porous Media
(Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary, 2020-03-23)Fluid flow, species transport, and chemical reactions in geological formations abound in the exploitation of fossil fuels and geothermal energy, the geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO2), and the disposal of hazardous ... -
Immunomodulatory Role of Cathelicidin at Colonic Epithelium
(Veterinary Medicine, University of Calgary, 2020-03-23)Cathelicidin, a small, cationic and amphiphilic host defense peptide, is expressed by hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells. Initially considered an antimicrobial, cathelicidin are more than simply natural antibiotics. ... -
A quantitative computed tomography approach towards opportunistic osteoporosis screening
(Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, 2020-03-20)Opportunistic computed tomography (oCT) complements dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) by screening for osteoporosis and determining subject-specific fracture risk. Quantitative CT-based bone mineral density (BMD) and finite ... -
Role of GnIH and GnRH in Paracrine Control of Gametogenesis in Zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(Science, University of Calgary, 2020-03)Control of gonadal function is multifactorial and involves a number of hypothalamic, hypophyseal, and peripheral hormones. It is well established that hypothalamic GnRH (Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone) and GnIH ... -
ATRX as a Regulator of Telomerase Activity in Cancer Cells
(Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, 2020-03)Telomere maintenance is the central process governing cellular immortality. The two distinct pathways – 1) telomerase activity and 2) the alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) – result in telomere elongation and allow ... -
Forest Fire Danger/Risk Forecasting: A Remote Sensing Approach
(Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary, 2020-03)Forest/wildland fires are natural disasters that create a significant threat to the communities living in the vicinity of the forested landscape. To minimize the risk concerning resiliency of those urban communities to ... -
Large Amplitude Oscillatory Shear Flow: Microstructural Assessment of Polymer Nanocomposites, Hydrogels, and Interfaces
(Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary, 2020-03)Final properties of polymeric materials e.g., polymer nanocomposites, hydrogels, etc., significantly depend on the microstructure, e.g., dispersion quality of the nanofillers, of the final product. Hence, in-depth exploration ... -
Researching the Design of a Culturally Sensitive Library Science Course
(Werklund School of Education, University of Calgary, 2020-02)The overriding objective of this study was to conduct an exploratory participatory action research (Dudgeon, Scrine, Cox, & Walker, 2017; MacDonald, 2012; Reason & Bradbury, 2008) within a Third Space (Bhabha, 2009; Pitts ...
