Modelling Non-linear Relationships in ERP Data Using Mixed-effects Regression with R Examples
(2013-05-29)The relationship between two variables is very often assumed to be a straight line. However, there are many problems for which this assumption does not hold. In this paper, we show that the assumption of linearity, an ... -
Modelling phase shifts in a rocky subtidal ecosystem
(Inter-Research, Nordbuente 23 Oldendorf/Luhe 21385 Germany, [mailto:ir@int-res.com], [URL:http://www.int-res.com/], 2008-03)The rocky subtidal ecosystem of the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia is characterised by 2 community states, kelp beds and urchin barrens that alternate on a decadal time scale. While the shift from barrens to a kelp bed ... -
Modelling phase shifts in a rocky subtidal ecosystem
(2009)The rocky subtidal ecosystem of the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia is characterised by 2 community states, kelp beds and urchin barrens that alternate on a decadal time scale. While the shift from barrens to a kelp bed ... -

Modelling the Critical Habitat of the Bicknell’s Thrush in the Cape Breton Highlands
(2020-04)Bicknell’s Thrush (Catharus bicknelli) is listed as a threatened species under SARA, and identification of critical habitat is a key priority in the species’ recovery. LiDAR data was used to create a habitat suitability ... -
A modified galerkin-spectral model for three-dimensional, barotropic, wind-driven shelf circulation
(1993)The authors describe an efficient numerical scheme for calculating wind-driven currents on the continental shelf. Our scheme is based on the spectral approach introduced by Heaps and subsequently modified by Lardner. The ... -
Molecular Gas in Submillimetre-Faint, Star-Forming Ultraluminous Galaxies at z>1
(2009-10-30)[abridged] We present interferometric CO observations of twelve z~2 submillimetre-faint, star-forming radio galaxies (SFRGs) which are thought to be ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) possibly dominated by warmer ... -
Monitoring and evaluation of Canada’s Oceans Act marine protected areas: Recommendations for governance, socio-cultural and socio-economic indicators.
(2013-10-03)Marine protected areas are becoming an increasingly popular tool in marine resource management but often monitoring programs are overlooked or are last minute additions opposed to being integral components of the management ... -
MONITORING BIOREMEDIATION AFTER OIL SPILLS, OLD AND NEW, USING MARSH FORAMINIFERA AS INDICATORS
(2002-04-15)Salt marshes of Nova Scotia are highly susceptible to marine oil spills. Removal of oil by natural processes is slow in low-energy environments, allowing oil to remain unaltered for many years. Marsh foraminifera, microfossils ... -
Monitoring elasmobranchs in marine protected areas: A Canadian case study of the Laurentian Channel.
(2019-12)Scientific support for the application of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) for shark and ray (herein elasmobranchs) conservation varies widely in current literature. Several MPAs around the globe have been created with the ... -
Monitoring of Sea Otters (Enhydra lutris) to Inform Future Population Management Actions on the Coast of Vancouver Island
(2023-05-30)Sea otter populations on the coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia (BC) have been greatly impacted by human actions spanning centuries. Historical records suggest that sea otters were abundant in the region prior ... -
MONITORING OIL SPILL BIOREMEDIATION USING MARSH FORAMINIFERA AS INDICATORS
(2001-04-15)A controlled experiment was conducted in June 2000 to identify the impacts of an artificial oil spill on an Atlantic coastal salt marsh and to evaluate in situ biological remediation techniques to help restore the environment. ... -
Monodisperse domains by proteolytic control of the coarsening instability
(American Physical Society, 2011)The coarsening instability typically disrupts steady-state cluster-size distributions. We show that degradation coupled to the cluster size, such as arising from biological proteolysis, leads to a fixed-point cluster size. ... -
Morphological Changes in Chezzetcook Inlet: An Historical Study Using Air Photography Composites
(1999-04-15)This thesis provides an analysis of the sedimentological and morphological changes observed in Chezzetcook Inlet from 1766 to 1998 using air photograph composites and maps from 1766 and 1854.This study explores the ... -

Most Submillimetre Galaxies are Major Mergers
(2010-09-13)We analyse subarcsecond resolution interferometric CO line data for twelve sub-millimetre-luminous (S850um > 5mJy) galaxies with redshifts between 1 and 3, presenting new data for four of them. Morphologically and kinematically ...
