A Dynamic Approach for Visualizing Local and Global Information in Geo-spatial Network Visualizations
(2016-04-29)Geo-spatial network visualization is a fusion of visualization techniques and geographic information science, and has progressed rapidly in recent years. However, challenges still remain regarding the clarity of high density ... -
Dynamic Architecture in the Canadian Arctic
(2019-04-05)This thesis investigates changing conditions in the Canadian Arctic. Reduced yearly sea ice extent due to anthropogenic global climate change has spurred a significant increase in marine traffic within the Canadian Arctic ... -
A Dynamic Asset Allocation Strategy with Macroeconomic Indicators
(2023-04-12)This thesis proposes a novel approach to strategic asset allocation (SAA) that uses macro-econometric factors and a regime-switching regression model to capture systemic risk, which is crucial in setting target allocations ... -
Dynamic Characterization of Tire Derived Aggregates (TDA) and its Application in Civil Engineering
(2024-01-06)The substantial increase of scrap tires worldwide has resulted in the disposal of millions of scrap tires to stockpiles or landfills annually. These stockpiles raise a significant risk to the environment and human ... -
Dynamic Compact Planar Embeddings
(2023-04-28)This thesis presents a way to compactly represent dynamic connected planar embeddings, which may contain self loops and multi-edges, in 4m + o(m) bits, to support basic navigation in O(lg n) time and edge and vertex ... -
The Dynamic Imbrication Of The Rhizome And The State Apparatus In The Development Of Transnational Subjectivities In Leila Aboulela’s The Translator And Junot Diaz’s The Brief Wondrous Life Of Oscar Wao
(2011-09-06)Abstract Oscar, in The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, and Sammar, in The Translator, move within and against multiple state spaces. They represent two different ways of understanding the dialogic interaction between ... -
Dynamic interactions of money, interest rate, prices, and real aggregate economic activity in selected SAARC countries.
(Dalhousie University, 2002) -
Dynamic Interplay Between Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus Latent Proteins in the Control of Oncogene-Induced Senescence
(2012-04-30)Acute oncogenic stress can activate autophagy and facilitate permanent arrest of the cell cycle through a failsafe mechanism known as oncogene-induced senescence (OIS). Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the ... -
Dynamic pulse buckling of slender beams with geometric imperfections subjected to an axial impact.
(Dalhousie University, 2001) -
A DYNAMIC SELECT SECTOR SPDRS ETFS PORTFOLIO OPTIMIZATION MODEL WITH REGIME-SWITCHING ECONOMIC INDICATORS
(2013-12-16)This thesis studies a dynamic Select Sector SPDRs ETFs portfolio optimization problem. The objective of the optimization model is to maximize the risk-adjusted expected return of a portfolio similar to a logarithmic utility ... -
Dynamic Stress Wave Propagation
(2016-08-31)In an effort to provide an analyst with the fundamental knowledge required to successfully predict dynamic structural response, a detailed summary of dynamic stresses, review of dynamic pulse buckling and verified numerical ... -
DYNAMIC TERRAMECHANIC MODEL FOR LIGHTWEIGHT WHEELED MOBILE ROBOTS
(2011-09-06)This doctoral thesis extends analytical terramechanic modelling for small lightweight mobile robots operating on sandy soil. Previous terramechanic models were designed to capture and predict the mean values of the ... -
Dynamic Trajectory-Based Couch Motion for Improvement of Radiation Therapy Trajectories
(2014-08-27)This work investigates potential improvement in external beam radiation therapy plan quality using an optimized dynamic gantry and patient support couch motion trajectory, which could minimize exposure to sensitive healthy ... -
Dynamical systems and spherically symmetric cosmological models.

Dynamics and management of anadromous alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) populations.
(Dalhousie University, 2004) -
The Dynamics of Allochthonous Terranes in the Pangean Suture Zone of Southern Iberia
(2010-12-21)Most researchers contend that the destruction of the Rheic Ocean culminated in the formation of the supercontinent Pangea. However, despite the importance of this ocean, there are major uncertainties in the identification ... -
Dynamics of autumn swarming and population structure of little brown and northern Myotis bats (Myotis lucifugus and M. septentrionalis)
(2014-08-08)As a fundamental unit in evolutionary ecology and the base unit for management, the population is of immense interest in understanding a species’ ecology. Individuals are the foundation of populations where their diversity ... -
Dynamics of flexible mobile manipulator structures.
(Dalhousie University, 1997) -
DYNAMICS OF GASEOUS AND SOLID FUEL FIRE WHIRLS
(2022-11-24)Fire whirls (FWs) are swirling diffusion flames with significantly enhanced burning rates, flame heights, and flame temperatures. The swirling motion combined with a more intense flame poses a greater hazard than a ... -
