CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE STUDY OF SPRAYING OPERATIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE
(2019-08-29)The global agriculture sector faces many challenges in its mission to meet the growing demand for food and fiber. Climate change, increasing population growth, emergence of crop diseases, damages to crops from rodents and ... -
CONTRIBUTIONS TOWARDS SOLVING THE PARALLEL MACHINE SCHEDULING PROBLEM WITH NON-AVAILABILITY PERIODS
(2021-08-30)An abundance of research exists studying parallel machine scheduling, but only a portion of this research has focused on the case with non-availability periods and job resumability factors. Research considering this case ... -
CONTROL OF STRESS RESPONSES BY VIRAL AND CELLULAR BASIC LEUCINE ZIPPER TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS
(2022-08-16)Glycoproteins are processed through the secretory pathway and require folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). When unfolded proteins accumulate in the ER, the sensor protein ATF6 is activated, translocated to the Golgi, ... -
A controlled, longitudinal study of olfactory perception and symptoms of pregnancy sickness.
(Dalhousie University, 2000) -
Controlling Biofilm Formation Through Corrosion Control Agents and Coatings
(2020-08-26)This work explored two primary strategies for controlling biofilm. One method involved the use of sodium silicate as a corrosion inhibitor in a pilot-scale model drinking water distribution system using cast-iron mains. ... -
CONTROLLING BROMATE FORMATION BY CONVENTIONAL AND INNOVATIVE TITANIUM DIOXIDE PHOTOCATALYSIS
(2010-09-23)Suspended titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles produce hydroxyl radicals (•OH) that synergistically aid in disinfection when irradiated with UV light. To exploit the benefits of TiO2 photocatalysis without having to ... -
CONTROLLING DISINFECTION BY-PRODUCT FORMATION WITH GAC ADSORPTION AND POTENTIAL ROLE FOR UV-LEDS WITH CHLORINE
(2023-12-07)The J. Douglas Kline Water Supply Plant (JDKWSP) is one of the main drinking water facilities in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The treatment process of JDKWSP is characterized by direct anthracite-sand filtration and chlorine ... -
Controlling Lead Release from Premise Plumbing: A Pilot Scale Comparison of Sodium Silicates and Phosphate
(2011-08-16)Lead and lead-tin solder were widely used in premise plumbing in North America until the 1980’s. Although this soldering practice has reduced significantly, lead release from older premise plumbing remains a concern. ... -
Controlling Lead Release To Drinking Water: Impacts Of Iron Oxides, Complexing Species, Orthophosphate, And Lead Pipe Replacement
(2019-04-12)This work explored various approaches to controlling lead exposure via drinking water: orthophosphate treatment, limiting complexing or adsorbing species in distributed water, and lead service line replacement (LSLR). As ... -
Controls on Westphalian peat accumulation: The Springhill Coalfield, Nova Scotia.
(Dalhousie University, 1991) -
Converging Forms: Deriving a Design Methodology from Translations and Shifts in Architectural Representation
(2011-04-15)The development of this thesis is predicated on the design of formally expressive architectures through the application of digital and geometric tools. This study focuses on the development of a series of different design ... -
A CONVERSATION PIECE ABOUT IMPLEMENTING INUIT LEGAL ORDERS INTO THE NUNATSIAVUT GOVERNMENT’S INUIT COURT
(2022-08-22)A majority of Inuit reside above the 55th parallel in 51 communities throughout Nunatsiavut, Nunavik, Nunavut and Inuvialuit. This area is Inuit Nunangat and each of these Inuit regions has their own modern treaty. The ... -
Converting Municipal Plastic Waste to Environmentally Friendly Fuel: A Process Simulation Study
(2022-08-31)Only 9% of the total plastic is recycled, but a substantial amount cannot be recycled, and most plastic goes to landfills. In this thesis, a process simulation model is implemented in the Aspen Plus® simulator, and the ... -
Convolutional Neural Networks for Real-Time Weed Identification in Wild Blueberry Production
(2020-12-18)Yield-limiting weeds in wild blueberry fields, including hair fescue and sheep sorrel, are traditionally managed with uniform applications of herbicides. Spot applications of herbicides reduce the volume required for ... -
Coordinated Network Management for Platelets in Canada
(2019-04-05)The objective of this thesis is to determine whether a simple rule-based policy could be used to reduce the wastage of platelets in a Canadian blood distribution network. The policy we are investigating is a hub and spoke ... -
