Name(s): Creator (cre): Ritchie, Erin, Thesis advisor (ths): Raby, Graham, Thesis advisor (ths): Brownscombe, Jake, Degree committee member (dgc): West, Sarah, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>The Great Lakes represent nearly a fifth of the global freshwater surface supply, and support culturally, economically, and ecologically important fish species such as Walleye (Sander vitreus). With water temperatures projected to rise by several degrees in the coming century, understanding the energetic impacts on fishes is crucial for effective habitat and fisheries management. I… more

Abstract: <p>Cadmium is a toxic metal that has detrimental effects on blood vessel development and function. To examine the effect of varying concentrations of cadmium on angiogenesis, two in vitro assays were used. First, developing yolk sac blood vessels were studied in gestation day 8 mouse embryos exposed to medium alone, 1.25, or 1.75 μM cadmium chloride (CdCl2). Embryos exposed to 1.25 μM… more

Name(s): Creator (cre): Kelly, Dayton John, Thesis advisor (ths): Brown, Liana E, Thesis advisor (ths): West, Sarah, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Mild sauna dehydration and fluid abstinence were investigated as weight loss strategies for lightweight rowers. Rowers (N=12) performed a power test, an incremental VO2max test, and a visuomotor battery: once euhydrated, once following sauna dehydration (SAU), and once following fluid abstinence and then sauna dehydration (FA). The percent body mass change (%BMC) achieved, %BMC… more
