Adaptive and neutral genetic variation in spring- and fall-spawning herring (Clupea harengus L.) in the Northwest Atlantic
(2020-09-11)Understanding the factors influencing the spatial distribution of intraspecific diversity is both a fundamental goal in evolutionary biology and necessary for the design of robust management strategies for harvested species. ... -
Adaptive and non-adaptive plasticity and fine-scale genetic variation in life-history reaction norms in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)
(2012-12-11)The persistence of a species in the face of environmental change is a function of the extent to which populations respond differently to changes in their environment and the spatial correspondence between the scale of ... -
Adaptive capacity of marine other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) in an era of global climate change: a case study analysis of Canada and the Scotian Shelf
(2023-12)Marine protected areas (MPAs) are often designed and managed with limited consideration of climate change and its impacts, potentially undermining their long-term efficacy. Other effective area-based conservation measures ... -
Adaptive Clinical Pathway Using Semantic Web
(2012-07-31)Internship report - Winter 2005 It is commonly believed that the quality of healthcare can be improved by taking advantage of the latest medical knowledge and best practices. This is especially true when designing clinical ... -
Adaptive Function Value Warping for Surrogate Model Assisted Evolutionary Optimization
(2021-08-24)Invariance to strictly monotonic transformations of the objective function is an important feature in the design of black-box optimization algorithms. For this reason, ordinal surrogates have been established as an attractive ... -
The Adaptive Functional Structure of Mucus-Gathering Setae in Trapezid Crabs Symbiotic with Corals
(Balaban Publishers, 1987) -
ADAPTIVE LONG TERM TRACKING AND AUTONOMOUS FOLLOWING USING STEREO-CAMERA OF AN UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE WITH COLLISION AVOIDANCE
(2015)Unmanned aerial vehicles commercially called quadcopters or drones have become increasingly popular over recent years, delving into wide range of fields from medicine for providing immediate health care or in agriculture ... -
Adaptive Observer-based Super Twisting Sliding Mode Control of Quadcopters for Trajectory Tracking and Low Altitude Grasping
(2023-08-24)Aerial grasping is revolutionizing Industry 4.0 through robotics. However, achieving stable flight and precise grasping in the face of disturbances, especially during complex trajectory tracking and low altitude flights, ... -
Adaptive optics near-IR imaging of NGC2992 - unveiling core structures related to radio figure-8 loops
(2000-05-11)We present near-IR adaptive optics, VLA radio and HST optical imaging of the nearby Seyfert galaxy NGC2992. Spiral structure and an extension to the West are traced down to the core region at the limiting resolution of our ... -
Adaptive Path Planning for an Autonomous Marine Vehicle Performing Cooperative Navigation for Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
(2012-04-24)Adaptive path planning of an autonomous marine vehicle (surface or subsurface) in the role of a communication and navigation aid (CNA) for multiple autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) for survey missions is studied. This ... -
Adaptive Robust Impedance Control and Neural Network Based Control for Telerehabilitation with Upper-Limb Robotic Exoskeletons
(2021-06-08)With the unprecedented increase in global senior population and the accompanying debilitating neurological diseases, there is a growing and unmet demand for physical rehabilitation. Additionally, the drastic reduction of ... -
Adaptive Scheduling of Non-Emergency Patient Transfers with Workload Balancing Constraints: A Mixed Integer Programming Approach
(2019-08-30)Emergency Medical Services organizations are responsible for providing paramedic crews, vehicles and equipment to transfer patients from one location to another in emergency and non-emergency settings. In the non-emergency ... -
ADAPTIVE SCHOOLS: EXPLORING HOW DESIGNING FOR DISASSEMBLY CAN EXTEND THE LIFESPAN OF MATERIALS AND BE APPLIED TO THE FLUCTUATING REQUIREMENTS OF TEACHING FACILITIES
(2018-04-06)This thesis investigates how designing with disassembly in mind will extend the lifespan of materials and decrease the environmental impact of construction. The most suitable programs to test this concept involve projects ... -
Adaptive Sequential Optimization Decision Making Approach to Procurement, Storage and Distribution of Perishable Food Items to Fast-Food Chain Restaurants at Regional Level
(2019-08-29)The fast-food restaurant chain industry currently relies on frozen ingredients to reduce the cost of procurement of raw-material. In recent years, consumers are shifting their habit of eating out from fast-food chain ... -

Adaptive Technologies for Individuals with Visual Impairments: Scholarly and Consumer Perspectives
(Dalhousie Journal of Interdisciplinary Management, 2006)Adaptive technologies allow people with visual impairments to access information, but problems surrounding access and availability to these technologies exist. Scholarly literature and reports by organizations, such as the ... -
Adaptive Value and Costs of Physiological Plasticity to Soil Moisture Limitation in Recombinant Inbred Lines of Avena barbata
(2010-02)Costs are hypothesized to constrain the evolution of adaptive phenotypic plasticity, but they have been difficult to quantify because strong selection should eliminate costly genotypes from natural populations. However, ... -
