Diurnally resolved particulate and VOC measurements at a rural site: indication of significant biogenic secondary organic aerosol formation
(2011)We report simultaneous measurements of volatile organic compound (VOC) mixing ratios including C-6 to C-8 aromatics, isoprene, monoterpenes, acetone and organic aerosol mass loadings at a rural location in southwestern ... -
Diversifying the Vegetatiion in the McCain Courtyard
(2008-04)Dalhousie University is an institution which recognizes the importance of sustainability and environmental awareness - this is expressed through its signing of the Talloires Declaration, various student groups, and the ... -
Diving dangerously: Exploring human health and resource trade-offs of extreme dive profiles in a Caribbean dive fishery. [graduate project].
(2016)Dive fishers around the world employ compressed air diving to harvest marine living resources in the quest for livelihoods. Fishers can suffer catastrophic health consequences while targetting these fisheries resources ... -
Do Dalhousie Students Carrot All? A Comparative Study of Food Waste Patterns
(2024-04)Food waste poses a major global challenge in terms of environmental and economic impacts. Within this context, higher education institutions play a pivotal role in fostering sustainability awareness and cultivating ... -
Do globular clusters possess Dark Matter halos? A case study in NGC 2419
(2012-10-29)We use recently published measurements of the kinematics, surface brightness and stellar mass-to-light ratio of the globular cluster NGC 2419 to examine the possibility that this Galactic halo satellite is embedded in a ... -

Do submillimeter galaxies really trace the most massive dark matter halos? Discovery of a high-z cluster in a highly active phase of evolution
(2009-01-20)We present detailed observations of a z~1.99 cluster of submillimeter galaxies (SMGs), discovered as the strongest redshift spike in our entire survey of ~100 SMGs across 800 square arcmin. It is the largest blank-field ... -
Do You Sea What I See: Exploring the Representation of Place-Based Knowledge in Spatial Planning in Coastal Nova Scotia, Canada
(2023-12)Spatial planning is essential in the interdisciplinary management of dynamic coastal environments. However, conventional approaches to spatial planning do not focus on the comprehensive representation and visual communication ... -

Draco, a flawless dwarf galaxy
(2007-03-01)The Draco dwarf spheroidal galaxy (dSph), with its apparent immense mass to light ratio and compact size, holds many clues to the nature of the enigmatic dark matter. Here we present deep photometric studies of this dwarf ... -
Drivers of Social Acceptability for Bivalve Aquaculture in Atlantic Canadian Communities
(2020-12)Aquaculture is a growing sector in Canada; while salmon remains Canada’s largest export, bivalve aquaculture production is increasing due to its perceived sustainability. Despite similar environmental effects of bivalve ... -
Driving Habits of Studley Campus Commuters: Who’s driving to Studley Campus, where are they coming from and why do they drive?
(2008-04)The need to reduce vehicular traffic to Dalhousie campuses serves a variety of purposes. Environmentally it will cut down on our greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution in Halifax. Economically it will reduce the amount ... -
Drosophila ABC transporter mutants white, brown and scarlet have altered contents and distribution of biogenic amines in the brain
(2008-11)Monoamines such as dopamine, histamine and serotonin (5-HT) are widely distributed throughout the brain of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, where many of their actions have been investigated. For example, histamine ... -
Dyadic analysis of child and parent trait and state pain catastrophizing in the process of children's pain communication
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2016)Explored separately, child and parent catastrophic thoughts about child pain show robust negative relations with child pain. The objective of this study was to conduct a dyadic analysis to elucidate intra- and inter-personal ... -
