Designing for Sensitive Sites: Enabling Sustainable Interaction In Ecologically Sensitive Sites
(2015-04-06)Design for sensitive ecological sites while promoting interaction with those sites requires a clear understanding of where the site’s fragility lies and what measures would be most appropriate to minimize intrusion while ... -
Designing Learning Environments for Children : An Affordance-based Approach to Providing Developmentally Appropriate Settings
(2004-08)This thesis explores the potential of a developmental-affordance framework for designing learning environments for children that are more congruent with their environmental perception and behaviour, and which can more ... -
Designing Place Specificity in a Rural Coastal Community
(2015)This thesis explores how place specificity can lead to new economic opportunities and act to strengthen community. Place specificity refers to the morphological and climatic qualities of a given site, and how human activity ... -
Desmos: Design, Inventiveness and Collaboration in a Time of Crisis
(2013-08-06)The modernist polykatikia typology (translating to multi-dwelling) arose in Athens after the population boom of the 1960s. Now sixty years later, the demands of the city have changed. No longer is there a need to build ... -
Detailed Modeling and Optimization of a Membrane System for Anesthetic Gas Separation
(2019-11-28)Inhalation anesthesia is delivered using partial rebreathing circuits. The anesthetic compounds are not metabolized, so they can be re-administered to the patient if excess carbon dioxide is removed. There are multiple ... -
Detailed morphology and late Quaternary sedimentation of the Nova Scotian slope, south of Halifax.

Detainee Rights and State Obligations; Charting the Shoals Facing the Royal Canadian Navy
(2014-08-21)This thesis examines the question of Canadian domestic, and international, rights and obligations owed to individuals detained by Ships of the Royal Canadian Navy in a selection of contemporary naval operations. The thesis ... -
Detecting malicious DNS tunnels via network flow entropy
(2021-12-17)The thesis proposes the concept of "entropy of a flow" to augment flow statistical features for DNS tunnelling detection, specifically DNS over HTTPS traffic. To achieve this, the use of flow exporters, namely Argus, ... -
DETECTING NO-OPINION RESPONSES IN THE CANADIAN LONGITUDINAL STUDY ON AGING (CLSA) DATASET USING UNSUPERVISED METHODS AND ACTIVE LEARNING
(2022-03-30)In open-ended surveys, participant answers that do not give any legitimate answer or opinion to the question being asked are called no-opinion responses. We consider the problem of detection of no-opinion answers in the ... -
Detection and Quantification of an Ecologically Important Marine Pathogen, Paramoeba invadens
(2016-08-22)A pathogenic amoeba, Paramoeba invadens, causes re-current mass mortalities of sea urchins (Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis) in coastal Nova Scotia, with major ecological consequences for the structure of the rocky ... -
Detection and Removal of Microplastics in Water Treatment: a Laboratory Evaluation
(2023-05-10)Plastic production has significantly increased over the past 50 years due to its low cost, ease of production, versatility, and durability. Plastic materials take decades to degrade and could remain in the environment ... -
Detection and thermal degradation of paralytic shellfish poisoning toxins.

DETECTION OF DDOS ATTACKS BASED ON DENSE NEURAL NETWORKS, AUTOENCODERS AND PEARSON CORRELATION COEFFICIENT
(2020-04-16)Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) is a set of frequent cyber attacks used against public servers. Because DDoS attacks can be launched remotely and reflected by legit- imated users on networks, it is hard for victims ... -
Detection of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Progression of Steatohepatitis in Mink (Neovison vison) with Fatty Liver
(2011-09-06)This study used the non-alcoholic steatohepatitis activity index (NAI), presence of fibrosis and Mallory-Denk bodies (MDBs), and quantification of glucose regulated protein 78 (GRP78) messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) ... -
Detection of Ovulation in Dairy Cows by Twice-Daily Passive Monitoring of Reticulo-Rumen Temperature
(2012-12-19)The objective of this study was to determine the ability of a passive temperature monitoring system consisting of radio frequency identification (RFID) boluses with thermistors and receiver panels to detect ovulation in ... -
DETECTION OF UDP FLOOD ATTACKS IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS BY VISUALIZATION ON PARALLEL COORDINATE PLOT
(2021-03-10)Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are one of the most destructive attacks that threaten network systems’ security today. In this type of attack, the attacker tries to make a targeted computer or network unreachable ... -
