Why an ecosystem approach is the wrong paradigm for the next stage of fisheries management
(2006-09-13)Scientists from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) manage groundfish stocks by collecting biomass measurements that are used to provide scientific advice on catch limits. Clearly, if the data is uncertain or ... -
Why do fish stocks collapse? The example of cod in Atlantic Canada
(1997-02)In 1993, six Canadian populations of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) had collapsed to the point where a moratorium was declared on fishing. It has been argued that the collapses were caused by poor recruitment of cod to the ... -
Why Has Unemployment Disappeared from Official Macro-Economic Policy Discourse in Canada?

Why is there no low-temperature phase transition in NaOH?
(1999-02)Although NaOH and NaOD exhibit parallel polymorphism at high temperatures, NaOD exhibits a low-temperature phase transition to a hydrogen-bonded antiferroelectric phase and no comparable transition has been found in NaOH. ... -

Wide-angle seismic imaging of a Mesoproterozoic anorthosite complex: The Nain Plutonic Suite in Labrador, Canada
(2000-11)The Mesoproterozoic Nain Plutonic Suite (NPS) of Labrador (Canada), one of the largest anorogenic plutonic terranes, was studied by a refraction/wide-angle seismic experiment. Four ocean bottom seismometers and 18 land ... -
Wide-angle seismic transect across the Torngat Orogen, northern Labrador: Evidence for a Proterozoic crustal root
(1999-04)A refraction/wide-angle reflection seismic transect across the Labrador peninsula covers the Core Zone of the SE Churchill Province, the Paleoproterozoic Torngat Orogen, and the Archean Nain Province including a portion ... -
Wind energy in Nova Scotia’s electrical power generation sector: The development of an effective wind energy regime
(2009-04)Three major goals of renewable energy policy include security of supply, environmental protection, and economic development and stability. One way in which our society can work towards achieving these goals is through ... -
Windows on the world: university partnerships, international cooperation, sustainable development

Winter Distribution of the Black Guillemot (Cepphus grylle) in Atlantic Canada
(2019-04)An understanding of animal movements contributes important knowledge on the spatial and temporal distribution of these animals. In particular, research on the distribution of seabirds, which are important ecological ... -

X-ray absorption fine structure and electron energy loss spectroscopy study of silicon nanowires at the Si L-3,L-2 edge
(2001-12)No abstract available. -
X-ray absorption spectroscopy studies of local structure and electronic properties of NaxSi136 (0 < x < 24) clathrates
(2010-10)We have probed both the local structure and the electronic properties of Na-containing type II Si clathrates by x-ray absorption spectroscopy. The near-edge region of the spectrum is particularly sensitive to the local ... -
X-ray absorption spectroscopy studies of local structure and electronic properties of NaxSi136 (0 < x < 24) clathrates.
(2010)The local structure and electronic properties were probed of Na-contg. type II Si clathrates by x-ray absorption spectroscopy. The near-edge region of the spectrum is particularly sensitive to the local structure surrounding ... -
The X-ray Spectral Properties of SCUBA Galaxies
(2005-10-20)Deep SCUBA surveys have uncovered a large population of massive submm galaxies (SMGs) at z>~1. Although it is generally believed that these galaxies host intense star-formation activity, there is growing evidence that a ... -

X-ray studies of the structure and electronic behavior of alkanethiolate-capped gold nanoparticles: The interplay of size and surface effects
(2003-06)We report a study of the structure and electronic properties of a series of thiol-capped Au nanoparticles (NP) of nominal sizes of 1.6, 2.4, and 4.0 nm. Transmission electron microscopy, x-ray powder diffraction, x-ray ...
