Stabilizing NaCrO2 by Sodium Site Doping with Calcium
(The Electrochemical Society, 2019-06-14)Layered cathode materials based on abundant, low cost raw materials have garnered interest in recent years. O3-type NaCrO2 is a promising cathode material as it offers decent energy density and is easy to synthesize. In ... -
Stable isotopic composition of deep-sea gorgonian corals Primnoa spp.: a new archive of surface processes
(2005)The deep-sea gorgonian coral Primnoa spp. live in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans at depths of 65 to 3200 m. They have an arborescent growth form with a skeletal axis composed of annual rings made from calcite and gorgonin. ... -
Stakeholder perceptions of the Nova Scotia aquaculture regulations: A foundation for social license?
(2018-12)Nova Scotia is in need of socio-economic opportunities in coastal rural areas, which aquaculture may provide. However, aquaculture is a particularly contentious industry in Nova Scotia with public concern over the environmental ... -
The standard dilemma: A comparative analysis of global salmon aquaculture standards
(2014-02-17)Aquaculture has been the fastest growing food production method over the last several decades. In order to achieve its potential to feed a growing global population, however, salmon aquaculture must be able to overcome the ... -
The Star Formation History and Dust Content in the Far Outer Disc of M31
(2011-11-22)We present a detailed analysis of two fields located 26 kpc (~5 scalelengths) from the centre of M31. One field samples the major axis populations--the Outer Disc field--while the other is offset by ~18' and samples the ... -
The State-Spaced Integrated assessment model for Newfoundland's 'northern cod' as a stock assessment model that fails to distinguish between normative and natural laws
(2018-02-06)Stock assessment models for Atlantic Canada's groundfish fisheries such as Noel Cadigan's recent State-Spaced Integrated assessment model for Newfoundland's 'northern cod' involve single premised inductive arguments that ... -
Static or shifting: Quantifying the relationship between income and green space in urban Halifax, Nova Scotia (2001-2016)
(2019-04)Urbanization can have damaging effects on many cities by exacerbating existing social and environmental inequalities. Income inequality can have implications on urban environments particularly if it leads to strong ... -
Status of the iron hypothesis after the open-ocean enrichment experiment
(1995)No abstract available. -
Steady-state helices of the actin homolog MreB inside bacteria: dynamics without motors
(2007-09)Within individual bacteria, we combine force-dependent polymerization dynamics of individual MreB protofilaments with an elastic model of protofilament bundles buckled into helical configurations. We use variational ... -
The stellar halo and outer disk of M33
(2006-08-10)We present first results from a Keck/DEIMOS spectroscopic survey of red giant branch (RGB) stars in M33. The radial velocity distributions of the stars in our fields are well described by three Gaussian components, ... -
The Stellar Mass Content of Submillimeter-Selected Galaxies
(2010-06-01)We present a new study of the stellar mass in a sample of ~ 70 submillimeter-selected galaxies (SMGs) with accurate spectroscopic redshifts. We fit combinations of stellar population synthesis models and power laws to the ... -
Step-wise synthetic approach is necessary to access g-conjugates of folate: folate-conjugated prodigiosenes
(2019)Despite the vast literature that describes reacting folic acid with a pharmacophore, this route is ineffective in providing the correct regioisomer of the resulting conjugate. We herein present a step-wise route to the ... -

Strangers in the night: Discovery of a dwarf spheroidal galaxy on its first Local Group infall
(2007-06-20)We present spectroscopic observations of the AndXII dwarf spheroidal galaxy using DEIMOS/Keck-II, showing it to be moving rapidly through the Local Group (-556 km/s heliocentric velocity, -281 km/s relative to Andromeda ... -
Stratigraphic Analysis and Possible Tidal Influence in the Thorburn Member and Coal Brook Member, Stellarton Formation, Nova Scotia.
(2000-04-15)The Late Carboniferous Stellarton Basin is located in central Nova Scotia. It is bounded by the Cobequid Fault to the north and the Hollow Fault to the south. Dextral movement on these faults during the Carboniferous formed ... -
Stratigraphic model for glacial-eustatic Pennsylvanian cyclothems in highstand nearshore detrital regimes
(1998-07)Lower (distal) positions on gently sloping shelves (ramps) affected by Pennsylvanian glacial-eustatic sea-level fluctuation display classic marine transgressive-regressive cyclothems, which are separated by exposure surfaces ... -
Stratigraphy and Depositional Environment of the Meaghers Grant Formation of the Musquodoboit Valley, Central Nova Scotia.
(1978-03-15)The Meaghers Grant Formation is a Lower Carboniferous siliclastic sequence in the Musquodoboit Valley of central Nova Scotia. It has been studied in outcrop and mainly in core. It lies wholly within the Lower Windsor Group ...
