BULK AND COMPOUND-SPECIFIC NITROGEN ISOTOPE BIOGEOCHEMISTRY OF PARTICULATE ORGANIC MATERIAL IN WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS
(2023-12-15)Sewage wastewater is a significant global contributor to the degradation of coastal ecosystems globally. While stable isotope analysis (15N) has been used since the 1970s to track sewage pollution in the marine environment, ... -
Bumble Bees & Blueberry Fields: Landscape Characteristics that Affect Growth of Bombus impatiens Colonies
(2018-04-06)Development of bumble bee colonies can be affected by landscape composition and configuration. My study measured relationships between landscape metrics and development of bumble bee Bombus impatiens (Cresson 1863) ... -
Buoyancy and vertical movements of marine planktonic diatoms.
(Dalhousie University, 1996) -
Burning a Graph as a Model for the Spread of Social Contagion
(2016-04-08)The spread of social contagion is an active area in social network analysis. Assume that we want to spread a message among all the users of a network. Knowing the structure of the network, we may ask how fast can we do ... -
BURNING VELOCITY AND LOWER FLAMMABILITY LIMITS OF HYBRID MIXTURES CONTAINING COMBUSTIBLE DUST AND FLAMMABLE GAS
(2018-04-20)Hybrid mixtures of combustible dust and flammable gas may demonstrate increased burning velocities and reduced lower flammability limits (LFL) over the fuels individually. This can increase explosion likelihood and severity ... -
BUSINESS AND HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE CONTEXT OF SANCTIONS: A ROAD TO FILLING THE GOVERNANCE GAP
(2021-01-07)As concerns about the negative impacts of sanctions on the human rights of civilians and the environment increases, it is necessary to reflect upon the lawfulness and legal status of such measures in international law, and ... -

(2020-08-07)This study explores the behavior of buyers in Saudi Arabia. Primarily, buyers who are using Instagram to purchase from new types of e-businesses; businesses that use Instagram as their only platform for commerce. The ... -
BWT-runs Compressed Data Structures for Pan-Genomics Text Indexing
(2023-04-14)The FM-index is used in many bioinformatics applications; however, it cannot handle large text collections. This is of particular concern due to reference bias; references fail to capture the required genetic diversity. A ... -
By Others: Architecture as Mediation, Collaboration as Context
(2020-04-13)This thesis investigates architecture as a mediation in the context of collaborative housing production in Havana, Cuba. Given that these processes occur whether architects are present or not, this study demonstrates the ... -
A Cache-Friendly BWT Layout
(2023-08-21)The Burrows-Wheeler Transform (BWT) is a widely used succinct data structure in bioinformatics. However, one of the main concerns that researchers still face when using BWT is its processing time due to the lack of access ... -
Caffeine cue-reactivity: The impact of caffeine-related stimuli and expectancies on caffeine craving.
(2019-08-16)Caffeine is consumed by approximately 90% of adults, yet its potential addictive properties have been understudied. Specifically, this study examined the impact caffeine cue reactivity and expectancy on caffeine craving ... -
Calcium Dynamics of Ganglion Cell Layer Neurons in rd1 Mice
(2020-07-21)In the rd1 mouse model of inherited retinal degeneration, activation of P2X7 purinoreceptors (P2X7r) has been suggested to lead to the formation of pores permeable to large molecules in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). This ... -
Calcium-activated chloride currents in salamander cone photoreceptors.
(Dalhousie University, 2005) -
Calcium-dependent ion channels of retinal Muller glial cells.

A Call for Humility: Human Supremacy Through a Biological Lens
(2019-12-09)This thesis draws on contemporary biology, in particular evolutionary theorizing, to challenge a particular camp of human supremacist arguments dubbed anthropocentric speciesism by Andrew Fenton (2018). Anthropocentric ... -
Call them Isobar: Memory, Mythmaking, and the Black Diaspora in Canisia Lubrin's Voodoo Hypothesis
(2019-09-04)This thesis looks at the work of Canisia Lubin in the context of national identity and intergenerational memory. Using Christina Sharpe’s theory of “wake work” as a starting point, the paper analyses the ways in which ... -
Call-For-Papers Retrieval System based on Active Learning and Semantic Similarity
(2017-08-15)Choosing an appropriate conference or symposium is the key in publishing a scientific work. We propose a Call-For-Papers Retrieval System (CRS) which provides a list of relevant calls for papers given the textual content ... -
