Visualizing Geospatial Uncertainty in Marine Animal Tracks
(2011-05-02)Electronically collected animal movement data has been analyzed either statistically or visually using generic geographical information systems. The area of statistical analysis in this field has made progress over the ... -
VISUALIZING GESTURAL ANNOTATION MADE DURING LEISURE RUNS TO PROMOTE RECALL OF AFFECTIVE EXPERIENCE
(2017-04-05)In this thesis, we present results from a comparative study exploring whether gestural annotations of felt emotion presented on a map-based visualization can support recall of one’s affective experience of recreational ... -
Visualizing Keyword Co-occurrence from Two Queries to Aid Exploratory Search
(2022-04-12)This study presents a method of keyword co-occurrences network visualization comparing two separate queries of a commercial database as a visual aid to mitigate an information seeker’s uncertainty during the exploratory ... -
Visualizing Object Clouds Through Energy Minimization
(2020-12-15)When visualizing an object cloud, the pairwise similarity between an object and a central object of interest is used to determine the position of each object within the cloud. This however does not capture the semantic ... -
VISUALIZING UNCERTAINTY WITH CHROMATIC ABERRATION
(2022-06-03)In recent years an increasing array of research are being conducted by researchers in the field of uncertainty visualization that attempt to determine the impact of representations on users’ perception and evaluate its ... -
Vitellogenesis in winter flounder (Pleuronectes americanus) under hydrocarbon contaminated conditions.
(Dalhousie University, 1999) -
VIZSSTA: A HYBRID TABLET AND AUGMENTED REALITY INTERFACE FOR SPACE SYNTAX DATA ANALYSIS
(2022-08-04)I developed a hybrid tablet and head-worn augmented reality (AR) interface called VizSSTA, a system designed to support analysis of Space Syntax data. Space Syntax is a family of quantitative approaches for characterizing ... -
Voices from Below—Africa’s Contribution to the Development of the Norm of Corporate Responsibility to Respect Human Rights
(2022-06-14)The long conversations about corporate responsibility predominantly take place in forums and conferences in the Global North. Yet, the majority of the human rights abuses and their impacts are felt by peasants, farmers, ... -
VOICES IN AN EDUCATION TRAP: Linguistic Deficit Theory in Nova Scotia Assessments
(2013-08-27)Research in the area of sociolinguistics, African Nova Scotian Ebonics, and literacy achievement never truly developed in Nova Scotia. Unlike previous literacy outcome research, this research study employs a qualitative ... -
Voltage construction of highly-connected cubic graphs
(2023-08-27)In this thesis we consider the spectrum and Algebraic Connectivity (AC) of cubic graphs that have representation as voltage graphs. These graphs have relatively high symmetry and often turn out to have high AC. We first ... -
Voltage Relaxation Methods for State of Charge, and State of Health Estimation in Lithium-Ion Batteries
(2022-08-31)Lithium ion batteries are the dominant technology for energy storage, and only projected to grow as Electric Vehicles gain higher adoption rates. Monitoring of the state of charge and the degradation metrics (state of ... -
Volume of interest imaging for image guided radiotherapy
(2017-04-25)Image guidance has become a vital tool for accurate positioning and monitoring of a patient during radiation therapy. However, the current clinical standard is limited to a large static imaging field and constant x-ray ... -
Volume-Preserving Coordinate Gauges in Linear Perturbation Theory
(2013-02-27)The main goal of this thesis is to present cosmological perturbation theory (based on the standard Friedmann cosmological model) in volume-preserving coordinates, which then provides a suitable basis for studies in ... -
Volume-sensitive potassium(+) current in guinea pig ventricular myocytes.

Volumetric Airway Analysis Following Maxillomandibular Advancement For the Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
(2018-11-01)Purpose: The aim of this study was to quantify pharyngeal airway changes in patients undergoing MMA surgery and determine if there was a relationship between airway parameters and sleep parameters. Methods and Materials: ... -
Voluntary Aerobic Exercise Attenuates Frailty in a Sex-Specific Manner in Older Male and Female C67Bl/6 Mice
(2021-08-27)Aerobic exercise is thought to improve overall health and reduce frailty, but whether this is beneficial in both sexes is unclear. We introduced voluntary wheel running to older (~22 months) male and female mice to see if ... -
