Predicting and verifying the intended and unintended consequences of large-scale ocean iron fertilization
(2008)Ocean iron fertilization (OIF) is being considered as a strategy for mitigating rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations. One model for implementation is the sale of carbon offsets. Modeling studies predict that OIF has the ... -
Predicting Catch-Per-Unit-Effort Using Semantic Trajectories and Machine Learning
(2020-04-20)This work presents a framework for the prediction of catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE)—an important index in the assessment of fisheries resource exploitation—using three data sources from the North Adriatic region: fishing ... -
PREDICTING CLINICAL SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION FROM ACOUSTIC SPEECH SIGNALS USING NEURAL NETWORKS
(2021-12-10)Approximately 280 million people suffer from depression, a disabling illness. Early diagnosis and effective monitoring are known to reduce adverse effects. Still, they require extensive clinical resources, thus motivating ... -
Predicting Frontal Lobe H-MRS Metabolite Levels Using Obesity and Metabolic Markers in Individuals with Bipolar Disorder: A Meta-Analysis and Cross-Sectional Study
(2022-07-29)Obesity and related metabolic disorders, such as metabolic syndrome (MetS) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) impact the brain, particularly in the frontal lobe. Individuals with severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI), ... -
Predicting Hypertension by Twenty Years Postpartum Using Perinatal Data
(2020-05-07)Study Design For a population-based cohort of 90,316 women with deliveries recorded in the Nova Scotia Atlee Perinatal Database between 1988 and 2009, pregnancy-related data were linked with provincial administrative ... -
Predicting mesoscale variability of the North Atlantic using a physically motivated scheme for assimilating altimeter and Argo observations
(American Meteorological Society, 2009-07)A computationally efficient scheme is described for assimilating sea level measured by altimeters and vertical profiles of temperature and salinity measured by Argo floats. The scheme is based on a transformation of ... -
Predicting Olive-sided Flycatcher (Contopus cooperi) Breeding Habitats in Southwestern Nova Scotia Using LiDAR Metrics Informed by Drone Data.
(2024-04)The Olive-sided Flycatcher (OSFL) is a migratory species at risk bird, currently listed as “Threatened” in Nova Scotia, and “Special Concern” federally. The strategy to promote the recovery of OSFL population is expected ... -
Predicting Political Donations Using Data Driven Lifestyle Profiles Generated from Character N-Gram Analysis of Heterogeneous Online Sources
(2015)This paper describes an approach for generating multi-dimensional Activities, Interests, and Opinions (AIO) insights from disparate web sources. The method involves identifying psychographic profiles using text analysis ... -
Predicting the frequency of storm surges and extreme sea levels in the northwest Atlantic
(2006-10)[1] A 40 year hindcast of storm surges in the northwest Atlantic and adjacent shelf seas is performed using a 2-D nonlinear barotropic ocean model forced by realistic 6 hourly winds and air pressures. This hindcast is used ... -
Predicting the Hydrodynamic Acoustic Signature of CFAV Quest in the Near Surface Environment
(2012-10-05)Three models for the generation and propagation of hydrodynamic noise near the ocean surface are presented, and are compared for their ability to predict hull noise generated by CFAV Quest. The simulated fluctuating pressure ... -
PREDICTING THE OUTCOME OF KIDNEY TRANSPLANTS USING MACHINE LEARNING METHODS
(2020-04-20)The prediction of the survival of kidney grafts is based on the procedure of matching kidney donors and recipients. Machine learning can be effectively used to analyze the appropriate donor-recipient attributes from a ... -
Predicting trophic response to phosphorus addition in a Cape Breton Island lake

Predicting wave dislodgment of mussels: variation in attachment strength with body size, habitat, and season
(2001)Breaking waves impose large hydrodynamic forces which may dislodge mussels and other organisms living on exposed rocky shores. We examined the effect of variation in attachment strength with size, habitat and season on ... -

Prediction of Cerebral Palsy in Very Preterm Infants
(2021-09-02)Background: The prevalence of cerebral palsy (CP) is ten times higher in preterm compared to term infants. Accurate and early identification of preterm infants at risk for CP would enable early referral to intervention ...
