A new measurement of CO sub(2) eddy flux in the nearshore atmospheric surface layer
(1991)Fluxes of CO sub(2) in the atmospheric surface layer have been measured at a shoreline site by the eddy correlation method using a new CO sub(2) sensor with greater sensitivity than the ones used in earlier studies. In ... -
A NEW METHOD FOR PRIORITIZING CATCHMENTS FOR TERRESTRIAL LIMING IN NOVA SCOTIA
(2015-04)Freshwater acidification is a chronic issue in South Western Nova Scotia (SWNS). Despite reductions in emissions causing acid deposition in SWNS, water quality in the region is not predicted to improve for another 60 years ... -
New production in the warm waters of the Tropical Pacific Ocean
(1994)The average depth-integrated rate of new production in the tropical Pacific Ocean was estimated from a calculation of horizontal and vertical nitrate balance over the region enclosed by the climatological 26 degree C ... -

News from the Galactic suburbia: the chemical composition of the remote globular cluster NGC 2419
(2012-08-01)We present the chemical analysis of 49 giant stars of the globular cluster NGC 2419, using medium resolution spectra collected with the multi-object spectrograph DEIMOS@Keck. Previous analysis of this cluster revealed a ... -

Nitrous oxide in the North Atlantic Ocean
(2006)In order to get a comprehensive picture of the distribution of nitrous oxide (N(2)O) in the North Atlantic Ocean, measurements of dissolved nitrous oxide were made during three cruises in the tropical, subtropical and ... -
NixSi1-x Alloys Prepared by Mechanical Milling as Negative Electrode Materials for Lithium Ion Batteries
(The Electrochemical Society, 2015-10-29)NixSi1-x (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5, x = 0.05) alloys were prepared by ball milling and studied as anode materials for lithium ion batteries. Nanocrystalline Si/NiSi2 phases were formed for x ≤ 0.25. The NiSi phase was observed for ... -
Nobody to Play With? The Implications of Leisure Co-ordination

Non Axi-symmetric Anisotropy of Solar Wind Turbulence
(2011-8/201)A key prediction of turbulence theories is frame-invariance, and in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence, axisymmetry of fluctuations with respect to the background magnetic field. Paradoxically the power in fluctuations ... -

Non-linear genetic isolation by distance: implications for dispersal estimation in anadromous and marine fish populations
(2007)Indirect genetic approaches such as those based on the association between genetic and geographic distance (isolation by distance, IBD) may provide one of the best means of estimating dispersal in marine systems. We ... -

Non-Occurrence of Free-Living Paramoeba-Invadens in Water and Sediments of Halifax Harbour Nova Scotia Canada
(1989)Seawater and sediment samples from various sites in or near Halifax Harbour were cultured for Paramoeba as were tissues of the natural sea urchin host Stronglyocentrotus droebachiensis sampled from Halifax Harbour. An ... -
Nonbreeding-Season Drivers of Population Dynamics in Seasonal Migrants: Conservation Parallels Across Taxa
(2009-12)For seasonal migrants, logistical constraints have often limited conservation efforts to improving survival and reproduction during the breeding season only. Yet, mounting empirical evidence suggests that events occurring ... -
Nonlinear Identities for Bernoulli and Euler Polynomials
(2018)It is shown that a certain nonlinear expression for Bernoulli polynomials, related to higher-order convolutions, can be evaluated as a product of simple linear polynomials with integer coefficients. The proof involves ... -
Nonlocal exchange energy of many-fermion systems of arbitrary dimensionality and interparticle interaction
(1986-11/15)The exchange contributions to the ground-state energy of an inhomogeneous many-fermion system of arbitrary dimensionality are calculated. Explicit results are given for both the local-density approximation and the lowest-order ... -
