DETERMINANTS OF THE BIODIVERSITY AND COMPOSITION OF STREAM INSECT COMMUNITIES
(Springer, 2009)The North Mountain of the Annapolis Valley, NS, in eastern Canada, is a ~200 km basalt ridge drained by many small first or second order streams in independent catchments. The area is fairly uniform geologically, presenting ... -
DETERMINATION OF CAPILLARY PRESSURE, RELATIVE PERMEABILITY AND PORES SIZE DISTRIBUTION CHARACTERISTICS OF COAL FROM SYDNEY BASIN-CANADA
(2012-08-28)Global warming due to anthropogenic emission of greenhouse gases notably carbon dioxide, could lead to the irreversible melting of the polar ice and significant increases in global mean temperature. One of the mitigating ... -
DETERMINATION OF EPOXIDES AND ALCOHOLS IN EDIBLE OILS
(2017-09-01)Lipid oxidation refers to the oxidative degradation of lipids, leading to toxicity and rancid flavours of lipid-containing foods. This process is often measured by determining hydroperoxides and their breakdown products, ... -
Determination of Failure Criteria for Suspended Ceiling Tile Systems and Thermal Resistance Provided Prior to Failure
(2022-04-25)The use of suspended ceiling tile systems has become popular in modern construction; however, fire performance data for these systems has not followed this trend. There currently is a lack of credible fire performance test ... -
DETERMINATION OF PROTON RADII OF NEUTRON-RICH OXYGEN ISOTOPES FROM CHARGE-CHANGING CROSS SECTION MEASUREMENTS
(2018-08-21)The nuclear charge radius is an important bulk property of the nucleus for investigating nuclear structure. The nuclei lying close to the boundaries of the nuclear chart (the drip lines) have revealed new exotic features ... -
Determination of Soil and Plant Nutrient Sufficiency Levels for Haskap (Lonicera caerulea L.)
(2018-05-03)Balanced nutrition is crucial for haskap (Lonicera caerulea L.) growth, productivity, and economically viable commercial production. However, there are no clearly established soil fertility and leaf tissue nutrient sufficiency ... -
Determination of the Effect of Nutrient Management Plans on Nitrate Concentrations in the Soil and Water Below the Root Zone in Commercial Potato Production.
(2011-04-15)Nitrate leaching from research and commercial potato rotations was evaluated using stainless steel zero tension lysimeters, tile drainage and soil samples. The effect of nutrient management versus conventional fertility ... -
Determination of the relative value of phytoplankton for feeding the juvenile oyster, Ostrea edulis.
(Dalhousie University, 1984) -
Determination of the Thermal Conductance of Thermal Interface Materials as a Function of Pressure Loading
(2012-08-23)This thesis presents an experimental apparatus and methodology for measuring the interface conductance of thermal interface materials (TIMs) as a function of clamping pressure. The experimental apparatus is a steady state ... -
Determining Centralized Inventory SKUs in a Space and Cost Constrained Hospital Environment using Integer Linear Programming
(2022-08-03)This research determines centralized inventory stock keeping units (SKUs) in a space and cost constrained hospital environment using Binary Integer Programming (BIP). The case study takes place at the IWK hospital in Halifax ... -
Determining Client Effort: Understanding Therapists' Practices
(2013-04-02)For over 20 years occupational therapists have been using functional capacity evaluations to provide information about individuals’ ability to work after a musculoskeletal injury. An important component of these evaluations ... -
Determining Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin from a Drop of Blood using Contact Optical Microscopy
(2018-05-23)Contact optical microscopy (COM) is a novel and highly compact imaging technology that has the potential to deliver a point-of-care complete blood count, which could strongly impact many fields of medicine. It was hypothesized ... -
DETERMINING THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN KNEE MUSCLE STRENGTH AND VARUS THRUST IN KNEE OA
(2015)Varus thrust (VT), a biomechanical feature reported in knee OA is identified visually, quantified using frontal kinematics and associated with OA progression. Objectives: To determine the association between i) two objective ... -

Determining the Influence of Surface Preparation on Transient Liquid Phase Bonding of Inconel 718/BNi-2
(2019-10-17)Transient liquid phase bonding is a high-performance brazing process used to join superalloys. Alloys that contain stable oxide layers present on the faying surface require surface preparation in order to be successfully ... -
Determining the Link Between Certain Hydraulic Properties and Postharvest Needle Abscission in Balsam Fir (Abies balsamea (L.) Mill.)
(2015)The goal of this project was to better understand the link between certain hydraulic properties and postharvest needle abscission (PNA) in balsam fir. Balsam fir branches were kept under various conditions to measure and ... -
Determining the Mechanisms Governing Transient Liquid Phase Bonding of Nickel-based Superalloys using Boron Containing Filler Metals
(2020-05-05)During TLPB, an initial boron uptake (IBU) phenomena was quantified using DSC and microstructural analysis of a IN625 base metal (BM)/BNi-2 filler metal (FM) joint. A conceptual model was developed to quantify both the ... -
Determining the Net Growth Efficiency of Eicosapentaenoic Acid and Docosahexaenoic Acid in Atlantic Pollock (Pollachius virens) Using a Mass Balance Approach
(2020-12-10)The essential fatty acids (EFAs) eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are required for the maintenance of good health in humans. Marine production of EPA and DHA is predicted to decrease as a result ... -
