The Development of Moral Foundations in 2- and 4-Year-Olds
(2020-09-01)This dissertation examined moral development in children using Moral Foundations Theory (MFT) as a guiding framework. MFT states that there are several moral ‘foundations’, or areas in which we may hold moral values and ... -
THE DEVELOPMENT OF MORALITY IN AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER
(2022-06-16)Morality helps guide behaviour and facilitates relationships. Autism spectrum disorder (autism) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by differences in social-communication skills and repetitive or inflexible ... -
The development of movement patterns during swimming in the CNS myelin deficient jimpy mouse.
(Dalhousie University, 1996) -
Development of NDT to detect corrosion in automobile tires
(2021-12-15)In the present work, various induction thermographic techniques have been tested to detect corrosion traces over embedded steel wire in cooked rubber (simulating bead wires condition in automobile tires). Accordingly, ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF NECTIN-4-TARGETING ONCOLYTIC MEASLES VIROTHERAPY FOR THE TREATMENT OF BREAST AND LIVER CANCERS
(2021-07-27)Oncolytic viruses (OVs) are a rapidly emerging treatment platform for various types of cancer that offers several advantages over conventional anticancer therapeutics, including selectivity, potency, and targeted cell ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF NONLINEAR FINITE DIFFERENCE MODEL FOR CHLORIDE DIFFUSION IN CONCRETE
(2016-07-06)Owing to problems associated with chloride-induced corrosion, the reliable prediction of chloride ingress into concrete is one of the key elements of the durability design and redesign of concrete structures exposed to ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF NOVEL 2 DOF THERMAL MICRO ACTUATORS AND A COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT DISPLACEMENT MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES
(2011-08-12)This thesis examines the development and testing of a novel 2 DOF (Degrees of Freedom) thermal actuator using Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology. A out-of-plane displacement measurement technique based ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF NOVEL ELECTRODE/ELECTROLYTE SYSTEMS FOR A LI-ION CELL WITH HIGHER ENERGY DENSITY AND LONGER LIFETIME
(2018-12-04)The energy density of lithium ion cells can increase when the charge cut-off potential increases or high Ni content positive electrode materials are used. However, this normally decreases the lifetime of cells because of ... -
THE DEVELOPMENT OF SAMPLE PREPARATION METHODS INVOLVING DETERGENTS FOR ANALYSIS OF MEMBRANE PROTEINS BY MASS SPECTROMETRY
(2013-12-23)Appropriate solubilization of membrane proteins can be achieved by incorporating detergents such as sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Unfortunately, SDS interferes with liquid chromatography (LC) and mass spectrometry (MS). ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF SENSING SYSTEM BASED ON FOLIAR SPECTRAL REFLECTANCE TO ESTIMATE NUTRIENTS IN POTATO PLANTS
(2024-04-15)In this research project, a sensing system based on spectroscopy was developed to offer a solution to the problem of slow and tedious method of understanding the status of nutrients in potato plants using chemical tissue ... -
Development of Simultaneous Multi-Radionuclide Imaging with a Novel SiPM-based Preclinical SPECT Scanner
(2023-12-14)Multi-radionuclide single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is becoming increasingly important in nuclear medicine investigations for radiopharmaceutical drug development and procedural advancement. Crosstalk is ... -
Development of Statistical and Mass Balance Approaches for Assessing and Predicting Chloride Concentrations in Halifax Lakes
(2022-12-08)Lake chloride concentrations ([Cl]) in Halifax and other urban centres where road salt is used is a growing environmental issue. This thesis used Cl data available seasonally from 57 Halifax lakes to model lake [Cl] using ... -
Development of Techniques for Removal of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate for Enhanced Protein Identification and Characterization
(2011-12-13)Mass spectrometry is a powerful tool employed in proteomics; however, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), a surfactant used for protein solubilization, is known to cause severe interference at concentrations greater than 0.01%. ... -
Development of the Interrupted Nazarov Cyclization of Allenyl Vinyl Ketones, with Application to the Total Synthesis of the Cyclooctane Natural Product Roseadione
(2011-07-06)The development of the interrupted Nazarov cyclization of allenyl vinyl ketones is presented. The intermediate oxyallyl cation, derived from an allenyl vinyl ketone, may be trapped efficiently by a divergent array of ... -
Development of the invariant theory of Killing tensors defined on pseudo-Riemannian spaces of constant curvature.
(Dalhousie University, 2005) -
Development of the Variable-Cell Powder Difference (VC-PWDF) Method and Applications in the Comparison and Determination of Crystal Structures
(2023-08-16)The identification and classification of crystal structures is fundamental in materials science, as the crystal structure is an inherent factor of what gives solid materials their properties (conductivity, magnetism, ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF TRAFFIC MICROSIMULATION AND EMISSION MODELLING SYSTEM FOR EVALUATING MAJOR TRANSPORTATION PLANNING DECISIONS
(2015)The first objective of this thesis is to develop an emission modelling framework to estimate vehicular emissions of a major truck route in the downtown Halifax and examine alternative policy scenarios for emission reduction. ... -
The Development of V3 interneurons in the mouse spinal cord
(2013-08-07)V3 interneurons in the spinal cord are a group of excitatory commissural interneurons that play an important role in producing balanced and stable gaits in animals. We discovered that Sim1-expressing V3 interneurons arise ... -
