This research examines how vulnerable communities can finance renewable energy transitions without relying on fossil fuel industries. By analyzing international climate finance agreements, it proposes fairer, more accessible funding structures that…
This research examines how climate change affects Phytophthora infestans, the pathogen responsible for potato late blight. By studying pathogen growth, reproduction, and molecular changes under future temperature and CO₂ conditions, the…
This research investigates using light-sensitive proteins to control cardiac electrical activity and treat arrhythmias. By precisely guiding heart rhythms with light rather than drugs or shocks, the study identifies proteins capable of suppressing…
This research adapts fracture prevention guidelines for older adults receiving home care in Canada. By addressing unique risk factors through nutrition, exercise, and medication management, the study aims to reduce falls and fractures, helping…
This research explores how youth in Nova Scotia experience nature as a health intervention. By working with young people as co-researchers, it examines barriers to accessing green spaces and informs policies that integrate nature-based solutions…
This research explores human motion as a renewable energy source using nanogenerators made from nanomaterials. By converting everyday body movement into electricity, the work demonstrates a novel, sustainable approach to reducing reliance on fossil…
Gamma herpesviruses infect up to 95% of humans and can cause cancer, yet lack effective treatments. Using super-resolution microscopy, this research overturns the classic model of viral exit, revealing that herpesviruses build internal transport…
About 8% of the human genome originates from ancient viruses. This research uses bioinformatics and evolutionary comparisons to understand why viral DNA persists and how cells silence it through DNA methylation. Identifying how genomes separate…
This thesis reinterprets early modern English drama to argue that witchcraft plays critique political power rather than reinforce royal authority. By overturning the binary between kings and witches, these works portray rulers as tyrannical and…
