Opportunities for improving human and ecosystem health through recreation in nature
(2016-12)In Canada, less than 20% of adults and 10% of children and youth are getting the recommended amount of daily physical activity (ParticipACTION, 2015). Concurrently, the amount of sedentary indoor recreational screen time ... -
Opportunities for the Reduction of Skate Bycatch in Atlantic Canada Trawl Fisheries: A Case Study of two Innovative Trawl Gear Designs [graduate project]
(2015-03-03)Skates are fish under the Subclass of elasmobranchii, typically found in temperate or arctic waters. Catch of skates pose a number of issues for fishers as bycatch including increased handling effort, reduced value of ... -
Opportunities to improve and integrate coastal water quality monitoring in Nova Scotia
(2011-11-01)Coastal water quality (CWQ) has been identified as a priority issue in the development of a Sustainable Coastal Development Strategy for Nova Scotia. While a host of different monitoring programs currently contribute to ... -
"Opposable Thumbs"

Oppression and the Struggle for Hope
(2017-08-23)This dissertation aims to understand how hope is formed and lost in human lives; particularly, by revealing the ways in which patterns of privilege and oppression can affect the hopes we come to form, and those that are ... -
Oppression: A conceptual analysis.
(Dalhousie University, 2006) -
Oppression: Exploring Conceptual Potential in Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy
(2020-04-29)Oppression-related concepts can deepen understandings about the ways in which occupational potential (Wicks, 2001) can become narrowed. Using these concepts incorporates philosophy and theory developed by Bourdieu, Collins, ... -
“Optāsne Frixa cum eā?”; Creating a Model of the Big Mac in Ancient Rome
(Dalhousie University Department of History, 2013) -
OPTIC NERVE INTERGRITY FOLLOWING RETINAL INACTIVATION FOR THE TREATMENT OF POST-CRITICAL PERIOD AMBLYOPIA
(2020-07-16)In animal models, monocular deprivation (MD) by lid closure mimics the effects of unilateral amblyopia in humans. In cats, inactivation of the fellow (non-deprived) eye, with intraocular administration of tetrodotoxin has ... -
The optical activation of racemic bromcamphor carboxylic acid by means of catalysts: The specificity of catalysts
(McAlpine Publishing Co., Ltd., 1912) -
Optical and Near-Infrared Integral Field Spectroscopy of the SCUBA Galaxy N2-850.4
(2005-05-11)We present optical and near-infrared integral field spectroscopy of the SCUBA galaxy SMM J163650.43+405734.5 (ELAIS N2 850.4) at z=2.385. We combine Ly-alpha and H-alpha emission line maps and velocity structure with high ... -
Optical coherence gratings and lattices and their propagation properties
(2015-04-23)Partially coherent sources have been widely used in speckle-free imaging, distortion-less information transfer and optical communications in free space. In this thesis, we introduce a novel class of partially coherent ... -
OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY FOR CLINICAL OTOLOGY
(2021-05-05)The potential utility of OCT for diagnostics in otology has been acknowledged for nearly two decades, but studies have focused largely on application to understanding basic physiology where animals and cadavers can be used, ... -
Optical Control of Exciton Qubits in Semiconductor Quantum Dots Using Pulse Shaping Techniques
(2015)Semiconductor quantum dots have been featured in a number of proposals for quantum computing because of the advantages afforded by confinement on the nanoscale, such as well separated, discrete energy levels and ease of ... -
Optical detection and assessment of algal blooms
(1997-07)Concerns about harmful algal blooms (HABs) have grown in recent years. There is a pressing need for robust, quantitative, and cost-effective methods to detect and characterize algal blooms. Critical applications of these ... -

Optical Rogue Waves and Nonlinear Effects in Hollow-Core Photonic Crystal Fibers
(2018-05-01)In this dissertation, we theoretically study nonlinear optical effects inside hollow core photonic crystal fibers (HCPCFs). In particular, we explore the formation of optical rogue waves near resonance in stimulated Raman ... -
Optical Surface Plasmons in Semiconductors
(2012-09-04)A theoretical treatment is presented of a plasmonic interaction at an interface between a semiconductor and a dielectric, as opposed to the more traditional configuration whereby a metal/dielectric interface is investigated. ...
