Changing Carbon Sinks in Sub-Arctic Canada
chercheur principal: Schiff, Sherry L
Année(s) de permis: 2022 2021
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5150. The objective is to improve the quantitative understanding of carbon dynamics in Canadian subarctic freshwaters, with a focus on identifying the processes governing the balance between carbon sinks and carbon sources to the atmosphere. The research team will pair field-based observations with laboratory experiments...


RHD Alleles in Prenatal Patients from Northern Canada
chercheur principal: Hannon, Judith L
Année(s) de permis: 2014 2013 2012 2011 2006
Résumé: The objectives of this research project are to confirm that the RhD phenotype is appropriately assigned in a population of prenatal patients that has not been studied for the presence of variant RhD gene alleles that would require them to be assigned an Rh-negative status and treated with Rh immune globulin. Samples will be selected for analysis among prenatal samples from the Northwest Territo...


Non-toxic arsenic in mushrooms and plants from Yellowknife
chercheur principal: Reimer, Kenneth J.
Année(s) de permis: 2012
Résumé: The objectives of this research is to: determine total arsenic and arsenic species in edible and non-edible mushrooms from contaminated and uncontaminated locations (mine properties and roadsides/parks); determine total arsenic and arsenic species in plants including Labrador tea, horsetails, buffaloberry, fireweed and berries (if available) from contaminated and uncontaminated locations (mine pro...


Ecological Structure of Northern Arthropods: Adaptation to a Changing Environment
chercheur principal: Buddle, Chris
Année(s) de permis: 2012 2011
Résumé: The objectives of this research project are: (1) To test how and to what degree the structure of arthropod communities changes between the northern boreal (Norman Wells and Yellowknife, NT), sub arctic (Ogilvie Mountains, YT, and Kugluktuk, NU), and high arctic (Aulavik National Park, NT, and Cambridge Bay, NU) zones. This will provide a contemporary geographic profile of species and group distri...


Examining DNA Fingerprinting as an Epidemiology Tool in the Northwest Territories
chercheur principal: Case, Cheryl A
Année(s) de permis: 2010
Résumé: The questions posed are: 1. Did genotyping identify unknown TB contacts or transmissions among cases studied? Examination of the genotype of each isolate of M. tuberculosis from reported cases in the NWT may identify epidemiological links among the studied cases not previously identified through conventional contact tracing. The study will quantitatively review epidemiological links established ...


Should Newborn Screening be Initiated in the Northwest Territories for Mild CPT1 (Carnitine Palmitoyl Transferase-1) Deficiency?
chercheur principal: Arbour, Laura
Année(s) de permis: 2010 2009 2008 2007
Résumé: The goals of this proposed study are: (1) To determine how common a particular genetic change, known as the P479L variant, is in NWT (2) To determine whether the P479L variant is associated with an increased risk for infant death and (3) To share results with the Medical Officers of Health and appropriate community and public health representatives in NWT to determine whether newborn screening for...


The molecular population genetics of the arctic-alpine ground-beetle species Amara alpina
chercheur principal: Schwert, Donald P.
Année(s) de permis: 1995 1992
Résumé: The sample of arctic-alpine ground-beetles will be collected under rocks and by pitfall traps (dixie cups placed in 8 cm diameter drilled holes) in the tundra habitat. All rocks will be replaced exactly and pitfall trap holes refilled with their soil plugs. No chemicals will be used in any of the trapping or collecting. Specimens will be analysed using DNA techniques which include RLPF's and PC...


The Determination of Specific Allele Frequencies in the Inuit Population
chercheur principal: Kirby, Lorne T.
Année(s) de permis: 1991
Résumé: DNA (hereditary material) will be isolated from blood cells normally thrown away after plasma tests at Stanton Yellowknife Hospital. The names will be unknown. Results will be added to an existing data bank which includes DNA information on Inuit, Caucasian, Oriental and other cultural groups. This information can be used to study events such as the migration of Inuit or to compare the evolution o...


Experimental Plantings and the Establishment of a Research Transplant Garden in the Grounds of Arctic College, Iqaluit
chercheur principal: Aiken, Susan
Année(s) de permis: 1990
Résumé: The Researcher will test some very standard agriculture seeds that have been developed in Alberta to determine whether they will grow in test plots in Iqaluit and Lake Harbour. She will also identify areas across the NWT which may be suitable as long term climatic change monitoring sites....
