EFFECTIVE PLACEMENT AND DESIGN OF THE FOUR-BIN WASTE DISPOSAL SYSTEM IN LOBBY AND CLASSROOM AREAS AT DALHOUSIE UNIVERSITY
(2012-04)Dalhousie University currently diverts 60% of its waste from landfills, but in order to improve the University’s sustainability, a goal of 75% waste diversion has been set (Dalhousie University Office of Sustainability, ... -
Effectiveness of a Behaviour - Based Energy Conservation Campaign, Targeting Accessibility Door Systems on Dalhousie Studley Campus
(2019-04)The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a community-based social marketing (CBSM) campaign in reducing the misuse of accessibility door systems by able-bodied persons on Dalhousie Studley Campus. The ... -
The effects of catchment liming on the calcium budget of an acidified Nova Scotia watershed
(2014-03)Acidification of South West Nova Scotia’s (SWNS) watersheds from acid rain deposition has led to the depletion of base cations from catchment soils (Clair & Hindar 2005). This has led to a reduction in the acid ... -
Effects of eutrophication, grazing, and algal blooms on rocky shores
(2006-01)Eutrophication can profoundly change rocky shore communities. These changes often cause the replacement of perennial, canopy-forming algae such as Fucus spp. with annual, bloom-forming algae such as Enteromorpha spp. ... -
The effects of interior green spaces on student wellbeing and productivity on Dalhousie University's Studley Campus
(2019-04)A handful of studies have explored the importance of indoor green spaces in relation to productivity and well-being. However, few studies examine indoor green spaces’ benefits on a university campus. Our group believed ... -
The effects of mindful attention on cold pressor pain in children
(2013-01)No abstract available. -
Effects of rapid thermal annealing on the optical properties of low-loss 1.3 mu m GaInNAs/GaAs saturable Bragg reflectors
(2004-08)We report studies of the effect of rapid thermal annealing (RTA) on the optical properties of a low-loss 1.3 mum saturable Bragg reflector (SBR), consisting of a GaInNAs/GaAs single quantum well embedded in an AlAs/GaAs ... -
Effects of temperature and circulation on the population dynamics of Calanus finmarchicus in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Scotian Shelf: Study with a coupled, three-dimensional hydrodynamic, stage-based life history model
(2003-11)We developed a physical-biological model for the Gulf of St. Lawrence (GSL) and Scotian Shelf (SS) by coupling a stage-based life-history model of the planktonic copepod Calanus finmarchicus to a three-dimensional ocean ... -
The Efficacy of Implementing a Photovoltaic System at 1400 Lemarchant St.
(2018-04)In this study we conducted a cost benefit analysis of an installation of photovoltaic panels on a house located at 1400 Lemarchant St. We calculated the available suitable rooftop space on the house, determined it to ... -
Efficient electron spin detection with positively charged quantum dots

Electrically stimulated artificial mussel (Mytilus edulis) reefs to create shoreline protection and coastal habitat in St. Margaret’s Bay, Nova Scotia.
(2020-12)Infrastructure designed to protect coastal environments, such as seawalls, can have adverse effects on the area they are supposed to protect. Hard shore armouring can be expensive, disrupt hydrodynamic processes, eventually ... -
Electrochemical Activity of Nano-NiSi2 in Li Cells
(The Electrochemical Society, 2016-09-09)Crystalline and nanocrystalline NiSi2 were studied as negative electrode materials in Li cells. Crystalline NiSi2 was found to be inactive toward lithiation/delithiation. However, it was found that NiSi2 becomes active ... -
The Electrochemical Behavior of Polyimide Binders in Li and Na Cells
(The Electrochemical Society, 2015-12-09)The electrochemistry of aromatic and aliphatic polyimide binders was characterized in composite coatings for Li-ion and Na-ion battery negative electrodes. Aromatic polyimide was found to have a large first lithiation ... -
The Electrochemical Reaction Mechanism of Tin Phosphide with Sodium
(The Electrochemical Society, 2016-04-08)The sodiation mechanism of Sn4P3 was studied by ex-situ X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer effect spectroscopy. These results show that Sn4P3 is initially amorphized during sodiation, and suggest that upon further sodiation ... -

Electrochemistry and Thermal Behavior of SiOx Made by Reactive Gas Milling
(The Electrochemical Society, 2020-06-30)SiOx with various oxygen contents were synthesized from Si powder by a simple room-temperature ball milling method by controlling the air exposure time during milling. The resulting SiOx consists of nano and amorphous Si ... -
The Electrochemistry of Amorphous Si-B Thin Film Electrodes in Li Cells
(The Electrochemical Society, 2015-11-14)Abstract Si1-xBx thin films of 0.071 ≤ x ≤ 0.950 have been synthesized using combinational sputtering. All Si1-xBx film compositions had a highly amorphous structure consisting of amorphous Si and B phases, as characterized ... -
