Using Machine Learning to Improve Motor Imagery Neurofeedback

Story, Ross (2015)

Machine Learning (ML) was employed to identify features in magnetoencephalography (MEG) recordings of 16 participants performing motor imagery (MI). ML was applied to data obtained using three methods: 1) two sources ...

Using Machine Learning to Predict Patients Who Leave Without Being Seen in a Pediatric Emergency Department

Sarty, Julia (2023-04-14)

Background: Patients and their caregivers who seek care in an Emergency Department (ED) may ultimately choose to leave without being seen by a physician. This occurrence is labeled “left without being seen” (LWBS) and ...

USING MACROALGAE, DISSOLVED NUTRIENT CONCENTRATIONS, AND NATURAL ABUNDANCE STABLE ISOTOPES TO TRACK SOURCES OF NITROGEN IN AQUACULTURE FARMS

Frame, Mary Kathleen (2021-12-16)

Seaweed aquaculture is a growing market in the North Atlantic which has sparked the need for finding areas that can naturally support their growth. In this thesis six farms growing Saccharina latissima, or sugar kelp, were ...

Using MetaMap Program to Map Medical Curriculum to MCC and One45 Controlled Vocabulary

Bashwih, Nouf (2012-07-31)

This project was undertaken in order to assist Dalhousie University’s UGME department in tracking the frequency at which particular concepts appear within its curriculum. Data was generated for the sake of analysis regarding ...

Using metaproteomes and models to quantify cellular trade-offs in phytoplankton

McCain, J Scott P (2021-12-16)

Phytoplankton fuel biogeochemical processes in the ocean and are key players influencing the global climate. All biogeochemical processes mediated by microbes are ultimately underpinned by gene expression. In this thesis, ...

Using Named Entities in Post-click News Recommendation

Koushkestani, Arash (2016-08-05)

With the growth of online news readers, many news websites use different signals to attract users' initial clicks. However, the problem of keeping users in the web site through post-click news recommendation is relatively ...

USING NLP TO QUANTIFY THE EFFECTS OF NON-GAAP MEASURES TO PREDICT THE OUTCOME OF SECURITIES LAWSUITS

Taylor, Stacey Dianne (2019-12-10)

The Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is arguably the most tonal section of the reports provided to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. As part of that dialogue, companies use non-standardized financial ...

Using observations and model simulations to characterize the effects of lateral intrusion events in Bedford Basin

Garcia Larez, Edmundo David (2023-12-01)

The renewal of deep water in Bedford Basin (BB) is vital for its ventilation. The main ventilation mechanisms are winter convention and lateral intrusion events. However, a characterization of intrusion events has not yet ...

USING PHYSICAL PRINCIPLES TO ENHANCE THE MEASUREMENT, INTERPRETATION AND UNDERSTANDING OF SOIL RESPIRATION

Nickerson, Nicholas (2014-08-21)

Atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) play an extremely important role in regulating Earth’s climate system. Researchers need to understand how GHGs are produced at a process-level in order to predict ...

Using R and Latex to Develop Automated Wait Time Report Generator for Nova Scotia Screening Program

Habash, Abdulhady (2012-05-28)

According to the Nova Scotia Breast Screening Program, with the presence of long waiting time lists there is an increasing need for automatic analysis methods to determine the causes of its existence. The AutoReport Generator ...

Using Rescorla’s truly random control condition to measure truly exogenous covert orienting

Habibnezhad, Mohammad (2021-07-28)

Studies of exogenous covert orienting use peripheral cues (stimuli) that are spatially uninformative about the locations of subsequent targets. When the time course of the cue’s influence on performance is explored (by ...

Using SCUBA to place upper limits on arcsecond scale CMB anisotropies at 850 microns

Borys, Colin; Chapman, Scott C.; Scott, Douglas (1999-09-19)

The SCUBA instrument on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope has already had an impact on cosmology by detecting relatively large numbers of dusty galaxies at high redshift. Apart from identifying well-detected sources, such ...

Using Seismic Noise to Monitor COVID-19 Societal Response in Halifax

Anderson, Aliya (2022-04)

Seismometers record signals from more than just earthquakes. Cultural noise, high-frequency seismic noise generated from human activities (e.g., traffic) produces a distinct diurnal signature in frequencies above 1 Hz due ...

Using small, temporary seismic networks for investigating tectonic deformation: Brittle deformation and evidence for strike-slip faulting in Bhutan

Velasco, A. A.; Gee, V. L.; Rowe, C.; Grujic, Djordje; Hollister, L. S.; Hernandez, D.; Miller, K. C.; Tobgay, T.; Fort, M.; Harder, S. (2007-07)

We processed data from a small, five-station temporary seismic network deployed from January 2002 until March 2003 within the Kingdom of Bhutan. We detected, associated, and located approximately 2,100 teleseismic, regional, ...
