USING HYDROCORTISONE TO STUDY CONJUNCTIVAL PAPILLAE AND PLACODE FORMATION IN THE CHICKEN EMBRYONIC EYE
(2023-12-15)Scleral ossicle bones can be seen in the eyes of many vertebrates, including reptiles, and their development is easily studied in the embryonic chicken eye. Previous research has described how these bones are induced through ... -
USING INFORMATION ON PAST AND PRESENT FOREST COVER TO GUIDE RESTORATION EFFORTS: AN ANALYSIS OF DATA QUALITY AND LANDSCAPE CONNECTIVITY IN UNAMA’KI (CAPE BRETON, NOVA SCOTIA)
(2023-08-04)Ecological connectivity is the extent to which a landscape supports the movement of organisms and processes between patches of suitable habitat and is necessary for ecosystem functioning. Boreal forests in Unama’ki (Cape ... -
Using Integrated Environmental Change Study Methods to Understand Factors Influencing Harmful Algae Blooms in a Rural Headwater Lake
(2021-08-13)Eutrophication and algae production are an important lake management issue in rural Nova Scotia. In the past decade, there have been increasing instances of harmful algae bloom (HAB) events in previously unaffected surface ... -
Using Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (IQ) to Guide Cervical Cancer Care Among Inuit Communities: Implications from A Scoping Review
(2019-08-09)This thesis is part of a larger research project that aims to use Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (IQ) in the development of culturally-relevant cervical cancer care among Inuit communities. Specifically, a Joanna Briggs Institute ... -
USING LANDSCAPE GENETICS TO FORM A PORTRAIT OF A SUCKER: AN ARGUMENT FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF MULTIPLE FACTORS TO CAPTURE THE WHOLE PICTURE OF A SUBARCTIC DENDRITIC METAPOPULATION
(2015)I tested the relative importance of life history, environmental barriers, dendritic structure, and historical colonization on the neutral genetic structure of a longnose sucker (Catostomus catostomus) metapopulation in the ... -
USING LASER PHOTOGRAMMETRY TO MEASURE LONG-FINNED PILOT WHALES (GLOBICEPHALA MELAS)
(Nova Scotian Institute of Science, 2018) -
USING LOCAL AND SCIENTIFIC PERSPECTIVES TO UNDERSTAND FACTORS AFFECTING THE DISTRIBUTION OF INVASIVE GREEN CRAB (CARCINUS MAENAS L.)
(2015)Environmental management is becoming more informed through the use of less conventional knowledge sources to understand environmental systems. Following this realization, our study accesses both local and scientific knowledge ... -
Using lorazepam to dissociate perceptual and conceptual priming in memory.

Using Machine Learning to Improve Motor Imagery Neurofeedback
(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
(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
(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
(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
(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
(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
(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
(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
(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 ... -
