(2011-09-07)This thesis discusses the theme of homosexuality presented in The Immoralist (1902) by André Gide and in Death in Venice (1912) by Thomas Mann. Evidence of homosexuality in the texts is substantiated in detail and the way ... -
Treatment of biofilms and opportunistic pathogens in simulated drinking water distribution systems using UV LEDs
(2023-04-07)Biofilm formation in drinking water distribution systems (DWDS) has important implications for public health due to the potential proliferation of opportunistic pathogens (OPs). To inhibit the formation of biofilms and OPs ... -
Treatment of Oilfield Produced Water with Dissolved Air Flotation
(2012-08-24)Produced water is one of the major by products of oil and gas exploitation which is produced in large amounts up to 80% of the waste stream. Oil and grease concentration in produced water is the key parameter that is used ... -
Treatment of Textile Effluent Containing Reactive Red 120 dye using Advanced Oxidation
(2012-12-17)Disposal of textile effluents into nature is one of the major environmental concerns of a textile industry. Several biological, physical and chemical methods for degradation of textile effluents are being followed, but the ... -
Treatment Performance Assessment and Modeling of a Natural Tundra Wetland Receiving Municipal Wastewater
(2013-08-19)The application of natural tundra wetlands for municipal wastewater treatment is an option to meet upcoming federal wastewater systems effluent regulations for Canada’s Far North. A treatment performance assessment with ... -
Tree species selection for the Halifax urban forest under a changing climate
(2011-09-06)Tree selection is critical to ensuring that urban forests are diverse, healthy, and adapted to the urban environment. Climate is one of the main controllers of plant distribution around the world, so tree species are ... -

(2014-08-22)The Trelawny Maroons in Jamaica rebelled in 1795-96, and were temporarily removed to Halifax, Nova Scotia before being settled in Sierra Leone. This thesis starts by challenging current scholarly literature, which emphasizes ... -
TRENDS AND SOURCES OF ATMOSPHERIC AEROSOLS INFERRED FROM SURFACE OBSERVATIONS, SATELLITE REMOTE SENSING AND CHEMICAL TRANSPORT MODELING
(2020-01-21)Improving the understanding of sources and processes driving the variation of atmospheric aerosols is critical for quantifying their air quality and climate implications and for formulating regulatory policies. This thesis ... -
Trends, drivers, and ecosystem effects of expanding global invertebrate fisheries
(2010-05-03)Worldwide, finfish fisheries receive increasing assessment and regulation, slowly leading to more sustainable exploitation and rebuilding. In their wake, invertebrate fisheries are rapidly expanding with little scientific ... -
Trends, Patterns, and Drivers of Freshwater Aluminium Concentrations: Revisiting the Conceptual Model of Freshwater Acidification
(2020-08-20)Aluminium (Al) is toxic to freshwater and terrestrial flora and fauna. Al can cause reduced primary productivity, species mortality and extirpation, reduced bird nesting success, reduced forest health resulting in reduced ... -
TRIBOLOGICAL BEHAVIOR OF POROUS AL ALLOYS
(2015-03-17)Aluminium alloys are becoming attractive for critical structural applications for their light weight, high specific strength, high corrosion resistance and good heat conductivity. It is suitable for manufacturing many ... -
