Universal correction to scaling amplitude ratios for inhomogeneous ferromagnets with continuous symmetry
(APS through AIP, 1996-05/01)Critical exponents and amplitude ratios for corrections to the scaling limit are calculated for a randomly diluted, weakly inhomogeneous O(m) Heisenberg model in an expansion in =4-d. Calculations for the exponents and ... -

Upper Carboniferous Fluvial Sedimentation in the Gulf of St. Lawrence Coal Basin, Mabou Mines, Nova Scotia
(1986-04-15)Mabou Mines is located on the northwestern coast of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Steeply dipping sedimentary strata of the Upper Carboniferous Pictou Group (dated as Late Westphalian C) are exposed on the shoreface. ... -
An upper limit to [C II] emission in a z ~= 5 galaxy
(2005-05-01)Low-ionization-state far-infrared (FIR) emission lines may be useful diagnostics of star-formation activity in young galaxies, and at high redshift may be detectable from the ground. In practice, however, very little is ... -
Upper Paleozoic Alluvial Plain Sedimentation in the Morien Group, Eastern Cape Breton, Nova Scotia
(1984-04-15)A section of upper Morien strata located near the western margin of the Sydney Basin was examined. Three sub-assemblages of sedimentary facies were recognized: Thick bedded sandstone characterized by a fining-up ... -
URANIUM, RADIUM, AND RADON IN STREAMS, DOMESTIC WELL WATERS, AND SOILS: A GIS ANALYSIS OF GEOLOGICAL, GEOCHEMICAL, AND GEOPHYSICAL RELATIONSHIPS
(1999-04-15)Elevated levels of 238Uranium (U) and its daughter products 226Radium (Ra) and 222Radon (Rn) in groundwater, surface water, and soils have the potential of posing health risks. In particular, high levels of radioactive ... -
Urban Forests: Reintroducing Native Species to Dalhousie University Campus.
(2009-04)Urban forests are an important part of the community and people should aspire to maintain them in the same way they maintain their cars, homes and lawns. The benefits of an urban forest on campus are massive. The trees ... -
Urban surface water runoff on Dalhousie University’s Studley campus (Halifax, N.S.)
(2017-03)As an urban environment continues to grow and densify, consequences such as increased surface water runoff become ever more prominent as urban landscapes seal off previously permeable surfaces. Stormwater management ... -
The use and value of opportunistic sightings for cetacean conservation and management in Canada
(2019-12)Twenty-one marine mammal species are designated under the Species at Risk Act (SARA) in Canada. When species are designated under SARA, management plans, recovery strategies, and action plans are outlined to prevent wildlife ... -
