BINOCULARITY OUTCOMES OF LASER ABLATION VERSUS ANTI-VEGF TREATMENTS IN RETINOPATHY OF PREMATURITY
(2018-09-04)Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a leading cause of visual impairment in prematurely born children. Two treatment options for severe ROP utilize laser and/or anti-VEGF injections. We aim to determine the influence of ... -
Bio-diesel: The New Driving Force Behind Dalhousie’s Maintenance Vehicles
(2007-04)This project investigates the feasibility of running Dalhousie University’s maintenance vehicles on bio-diesel. This project proposes the use of an on campus bio-diesel refinement facility to convert waste cooking oil ... -

Biodegradation and electro-assisted biodegradation of 1,4-dioxane under different electron accepting conditions
(2023-08-11)1,4-Dioxane (DX) is an emerging contaminant of concern in water resources. In the past, it was commonly utilized to stabilize chlorinated solvents, and it has now been discovered as a contaminant present in various personal ... -
Biodegradation kinetics of individual and mixture non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in an agricultural soil receiving alkaline treated biosolids
(Elsevier, 2021)Land application of biosolids is one potential source of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) into agricultural soils. Degradation is an important natural attenuation pathway that affects the fate and transport ... -
The biodegredation of L-tyrosine by trichoderma hamatum to trichoviridin and related compounds
(1995)Trichoviridin (1) is shown to be a degradation product L-tyrosine by cultures of Trichoderma hamatum. The specific radioactivity of trichoviridin thus formed was lower than that of 3-isocyanocyclopent-2--enylidene propionic ... -
Biodiversity and Farming: An Evaluation of a Voluntary Stewardship Program and Exploration of Farmer Values
(2013-08-22)Farming relies on the ecosystem services provided by biodiversity for production. Farming has been, however, responsible for habitat degradation and destruction, and consequently, biodiversity loss. At present, efforts to ... -
Biodiversity considerations in conservation system planning: Map-based approach for Nova Scotia, Canada
(2005-12)Biodiversity considerations in conservation system planning include three main criteria: representation, special elements, and focal species. A GIS-based approach utilizing simple models was used to assess existing biophysical ... -

Biofibrous Potentialities: A Scalar Approach to Biogenic Futures
(2023-08-24)Our current extractive practices with architectural materials are unsustainable and biogenic options must be explored. Much of the current discourse and use of biogenic materials in architecture operates as a one-to-one ... -
Biofilm-Enhanced Treatment for Arctic Wastewater Stabilization Ponds Using Geotextile Substrate
(2013-08-20)In this thesis, a semi-permeable lining system was proposed to upgrade arctic wastewater stabilization ponds, acting as a biofilter. Although commonplace at lower latitudes, the effects of cold temperatures and short-duration ... -
BIOGEOCHEMICAL (BGC) ARGO IMPROVES UNDERSTANDING AND QUANTIFICATION OF THE OCEAN’S BIOLOGICAL CARBON PUMP
(2022-10-18)The ocean’s biological carbon pump (BCP) contributes to the sequestration of organic carbon in the deep ocean and influences atmospheric CO2 levels. Despite its significance, the BCP remains poorly characterized due to ...
