A Computational Study of Cyclic Alkynes and the Search for Selectivity in the Cycloadditions of Substituted Cyclohexynes
(2015)In this work, the geometric and electronic properties of five- to twelve-membered cyclic alkynes have been studied computationally. The data reveal two regimes that have a transition point at a ring size of eight. The data ... -
Computational topology and fractal trees.
(Dalhousie University, 2005) -
Computationally Efficient Super Resolution Algorithm
(2018-06-26)Super resolution image can be obtained from combining several low resolution noisy and blurred images. We propose an efficient algorithm to produce super resolution microscopic images. In the proposed algorithm, accurate ... -
Computer simulation studies of heterogeneous crystal growth.

Concentration and characterization of microplastics in Blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) and Eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) from Nova Scotia
(2023-12-06)Microplastics (MPs) (<5 mm) have become an increasingly global concern due to their potential to impact both human health and the environment. This research explored the occurrence of microplastics in Blue mussels (Mytilus ... -
CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT OF ROTATING BED REACTOR FOR CHEMICAL LOOPING COMBUSTION USING METHANE AS FUEL AND COPPER OXIDE AS AN OXYGEN CARRIER
(2015-06-04)A CFD model of a rotating bed reactor for chemical looping combustion involving the catalyzed reaction of methane with oxygen using a CuO-based oxygen carrier was developed in this work. The effects of process parameters ... -
Concept Embedding for Deep Neural Functional Analysis of Genes and Deep Neural Word Sense Disambiguation of Biomedical Text
(2019-07-17)As far as Gene Ontology (GO) is concerned, most of the existing gene functional similarity measures combine information content-based semantic similarity scores of single GO-term pairs to estimate gene functional similarity, ... -
The concept of equilibrium in population ecology.
(Dalhousie University, 2000) -
A Conceptual Framework for Supererogation
(1972)In this thesis an attempt is made to provide a satisfactory account of supererogatory acts, i.e. those acts which are considered to be right to do and not wrong not to do, and are sometimes idiomatically referred to as ... -
CONCEPTUALIZING AND QUANTIFYING THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF BIOLOGICAL PRODUCTION SYSTEMS
(2014-04-01)Increasing the amount of food produced while simultaneously reducing the environmental impacts of agriculture is one of the most pressing challenges facing humanity. A promising approach through which this could be achieved ... -
Conceptualizing impact in sustainability and the arts: Understanding the role of arts organizations through the case of CreativePEI
(2023-06-22)As humanity learns about mitigating and adapting to the worst effects of climate change, the inextricable link with culture becomes increasingly clear: in order for society to adopt pro-environmental and climate-positive ... -
CONCURRENT REMOVAL OF ORGANIC AND HEAVY METAL CONTAMINANTS IN WASTEWATER: A CASE STUDY ON A PULP MILL EFFLUENT AND LEACHATE
(2020-08-27)A continuous flow reactor (CFR) was designed, and its application was tested for para-nitroaniline (PNA) degradation and real environmental wastewater (i.e., Boat Harbour (BH) and leachate samples) treatment. Total organic ... -
Condition assessment of reinforced concrete bridge decks as conductive media using GPR
(2014-07-07)Bridge and overpass infrastructure are crucial parts of transportation networks that must be adequately maintained to ensure minimal repair costs and traffic disruption. The majority of the bridges and overpasses in North ... -
Conditioned taste and flavour preferences and palatability shifts in rats.
(Dalhousie University, 2002) -
Condoms and Conditions on Consent: Upholding Intentions, Understanding, and Agency for Consensual Sex
(2022-08-23)There is still widespread confusion over what exactly is necessary for consent in sexual encounters. This has serious consequences because of the severity of the rights violation that occurs if consent is invalid in this ... -
A CONDUCTIVITY-BASED MEASUREMENT DEVICE TO DETERMINE VOLUME FRACTION AND GAS SLIP VELOCITY FOR MULTIPHASE FLOW
(2017-06-13)Multiphase flow metering is needed in the oil and gas industry for well-monitoring, gas fraction, oil cut, and water cut and tracking of solid content. The two-phase flow of gas and liquid is regularly used in the design ... -
Confederation in Nova Scotia to 1870
(1939)As early as the period after the American Revolution, proposals had been made for the union of the British North American Colonies. The main purpose of the early proposals was to retain Colonies for Britain and prevent the ... -
CONFLICT OF LAWS ASPECTS OF SAME-SEX RELATIONSHIPS IN AFRICA: A COMPARATIVE STUDY
(2015)Same-sex relationships will likely be in violation of the laws of most African countries. In Nigeria, Ghana and Kenya, a same-sex relationship is either explicitly prohibited or there is legislation which can be interpreted ...
