Design of Polyelectrolytes for use in Flocculation: Effect of Ionic Strength, pH, and Monomer Concentration on Reaction Kinetics and Copolymer Microstructure
(2023-12-12)Flocculation is a technology used for removing contaminants from liquids in various processes, including municipal wastewater treatment. Minimal attention has been paid to controlling the polymer microstructure using polymer ... -
Design of PVT Compensated Resistance to Frequency Converter for Sensor Array Applications
(2021-08-27)The thesis presents a new CMOS resistor to frequency read-out circuit to be used in resistive sensing applications. Resistive sensing is used in different applications like temperature sensing, force sensing, and light ... -
Design of Single-Sided Fillet Welds Under Transverse Loading
(2021-09-01)In North American steel design codes, a “directional strength enhancement” (or “sinθ”) factor is used to increase the predicted strength of fillet welds subjected to tension-induced shear. CSA and AISC code committees have ... -
Design Principles of Inclusion for Public Schools
(2017-04-10)Including children with disabilities in the public classroom is morally right; yet in the absence of appropriate support, it often results in a learning environment that is morally wrong. This thesis studies how to ... -
Design with Nature: Learning from Ecological Systems to Educate the Urban Dweller
(2013-04-05)Nature has an effective approach to cycling materials and energy flows to promote life. This thesis aims to expose urbanite users to nature’s way of cycling materials. The seawall is the largest public space in Vancouver ... -
Design, construction and optimization of a femtosecond laser spectrometer to study excited state processes.
(Dalhousie University, 2005) -
The Design, Fabrication and Testing of a High Frequency, Angled Ultrasound Endoscope for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
(2023-07-11)Minimally invasive spine surgery is often used to alleviate the symptoms of pathologies that compress the neural structures within the spine, creating a need for better imaging guidance within the limited surgical space. An ... -
Design, fabrication, and performance of high-frequency phased-array ultrasonic endoscopes
(2020-04-15)With a rapidly aging population, there is an imminent need to reduce healthcare costs and improve patient outcomes. Minimally invasive surgical procedures have the potential to help facilitate this objective due to shorter ... -

(Dalhousie University, 2006) -
Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation of Thymidine Derivatives as Inhibitors of a Thymidylyltransferase Enzyme, Cps2L
(2020-08-06)The inhibition of thymidylyltransferase enzymes has long been studied as a potential avenue for antibiotic development. Several thymidine derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for binding and inhibition ... -
Design-Build As An Approach for Community-Focused Projects: Building and Adapting in a Northern Community
(2019-04-12)This thesis focuses on creating and testing a design-build strategy for community-based projects. It poses questions on how to create work that is locally relevant, place sensitive and site specific in the contexts of ... -
DESIGNING A ROBUST TAX SYSTEM FOR NIGERIA: LESSONS FROM AN INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE
(2018-04-05)This thesis argues that Nigeria can adapt its tax system for better gain from investment and other taxation. It outlines the foundation for a good tax policy, and explores initiatives by the Organisation for Economic ... -

(Dalhousie University, 2004) -
Designing and Developing Interactive Big Data Decision Support Systems for Performance, Scalability, Availability and Consistency
(2021-04-29)Big data decision support systems are used to interpret meaning from extremely large data sets. The users of such systems rely on decision support systems to provide short, human-readable summarizations to aid the user in ... -
DESIGNING EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES PROCESSES TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT OF AMBULANCE OFFLOAD DELAY
(2019-08-22)Ambulance offload delay (AOD) occurs when the care of incoming ambulance patients cannot be transferred immediately from paramedics to staff in a hospital emergency department (ED). This is typically due to ED congestion. ... -
Designing Experience: Towards an Empathic Method of Design
(2015)This thesis investigates the relationship between the physical environment and its influence on human emotion and thought. Through a series of design explorations, the project aims to establish an elemental understanding ... -
