Composition and origin of Wisconsinan till in mainland Nova Scotia.
(Dalhousie University, 1976) -
Composition and Structure Dependence of the Photoelastic Response of Oxide Glass
(2011-08-19)The isotropy of a glass can be broken by the application of a mechanical stress giving rise to a phenomenon of birefringence. Some lead-containing glass compositions are known to prevent this phenomenon and they are called ... -
COMPOSITIONAL AND FUNDAMENTAL CHARACTERIZATION OF LI-ION CELL ELECTROLYTES
(2020-08-25)The electrolyte is crucial to successful lithium ion cell operation. The composition, including the solvents and additives used will dictate how long the cell lasts. There are only a few studies that study the electrolytes ... -
COMPOSITION–PROPERTY RELATIONSHIPS IN MULTICOMPONENT GERMANIUM–BASED POLYALKENOATE CEMENTS
(2014-09-19)Vertebral compression fractures are increasingly treated through minimally invasive, rather than surgical, procedures due to the draw of improved outcomes and reduced risk of infection. Conventional clinical materials fail ... -
Compost Tea for the Management of Dollar Spot (Sclerotinia homoeocarpa) on Turfgrass
(2012-08-24)Turfgrasses are unique in their capability of tolerating foot traffic and physical wear, while still remaining functional and aesthetically pleasing. Fungal disease represents one of the most common limiting factors in ... -
Comprehending Software Bugs Leveraging Code Structures with Neural Language Models
(2023-08-28)Software bugs claim ~50% of development time and cost the global economy billions of dollars every year. Unfortunately, despite the use of many software quality assurance (SQA) practices in software development (e.g., ... -
A comprehensive analysis and novel methods for on-purpose AIS switch-off detection
(2022-01-04)Maritime security, as well as monitoring of illegal and illicit activities such as smug- gling and Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (or IUU) Fishing are reliant on Au- tomatic Identification System (AIS). As AIS is a ... -
A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF MAJOR MARITIME ACCIDENTS IN CANADA: IDENTIFYING CAUSAL FACTORS THROUGH SYSTEMS-THEORETIC ACCIDENT MODELS
(2023-08-24)In this research, a thorough examination of significant maritime accidents in Canada is conducted, utilizing the Causal Analysis based on Systems Theory (CAST) method to pinpoint prevailing causal factors. The study ... -
A comprehensive approach to modeling and eliminating sanding problems during oil production.
(Dalhousie University, 2004) -
A Comprehensive Review and Multi-Method Examination of the Relationship between Social Anxiety and Alcohol Use
(2014-07-21)Epidemiological studies show that those with high social anxiety are at increased risk of having alcohol use problems. This risk appears especially high in socially anxious women. Researchers have long sought to understand ... -
A Comprehensive Study On One-way Backscatter Traffic Analysis
(2015-04-27)Since the occurrence and variety of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) has dramatically increased, the discovery of DDoS signatures (rules) become very difficult for current intrusion detection mechanisms. Darknets, which ... -
Compromised Tweet Detection Using weighted sub-word embeddings
(2019-08-07)Extracting features and writing styles from short text messages for compromised tweet detection is always a challenge. Short messages, such as tweets, do not have enough data to perform statistical authorship attribution. ... -
