Implicit and Explicit Gambling Outcome Expectancies: Activation by Gambling Cue Exposure and Utility in Predicting Gambling Outcomes
(2014-08-28)Outcome expectancies are mental “if...then” propositions that make connections between behaviour and anticipated consequences. Despite their theoretical significance in addictive behaviours, a paucity of research has ... -
The importance of conformation in the reactivity of radical cations.
(Dalhousie University, 1992) -
THE IMPORTANCE OF OSMO-MIXOTROPHY IN THE NUTRITION OF THE DIATOM THALASSIOSIRA OCEANICA UNDER IRON LIMITATION
(2018-09-28)This thesis addresses the potential for osmo-mixotrophy within the diatom species Thalassiosira oceanica under iron-limited and iron-replete conditions. Urea can provide both carbon and nitrogen to fulfill the cellular ... -
The importance of pricing: a microeconomic theory of multinational behaviour under trade barriers
(Dalhousie University, 1976-07-20)This thesis develops a theoretical model of a multinational enterprise (MNE) consisting of two horizontally integrated firms, both monopolists in their own markets. The MNE is assumed to maximize total profits; hire labor ... -
The importance of transfer pricing : a microeconomic theory of multinational behaviour under trade barriers.
(Dalhousie University, 1976) -
Imprints of the Everyday: Architecture for Incremental Interventions
(2021-08-19)Urban erasure, as a result of tabula rasa redevelopments and the privatization of public spaces within London, are wiping out the idiosyncratic imprints of the city’s inhabitants. Through unfolding the power of ephemeral ... -
Improved Artificial Potential Field Method for Robotic Path Planning
(2020-12-18)Determination of a collision free path for a robot between start and goal positions through obstacles cluttered in a workspace is central to the design of an autonomous robot path planning. This thesis presents an improved ... -
Improved Charge Transfer and Barrier Lowering across a Au-MoS2 Interface through the Insertion of a Layered Ca2N Electride
(2021-08-31)Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are a family of layered semiconductors with great potential to impact the upcoming field of two-dimensional (2D) electronics. In particular, MoS2 is a TMDC with a desirable band ... -
Improved functional magnetic resonance imaging at 4.0 T
(2015-04-13)Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is an important tool for the study of the human brain. When performed at higher field strengths, fMRI offers increased signal strength and sensitivity to activation. Unfortunately, ... -
Improved Middle Ear Imaging with Optical Coherence Tomography for Clinical Otology
(2023-08-28)Conductive hearing loss (CHL) is a widespread and debilitating condition that affects millions of individuals worldwide. This impairment results from disruptions in the transmission of sound waves from the tympanic membrane ... -
Improved optimal economic and environmental operations of power systems using particle swarm optimization.
(Dalhousie University, 2007) -
An Improved Path Integration Mechanism Using Neural Fields Which Implement A Biologically Plausible Analogue To A Kalman Filter
(2013-02-28)Interaction with the world is necessary for both animals and robots to complete tasks. This interaction requires a sense of self, or the orientation of the robot or animal with respect to the world. Creating and maintaining ... -
IMPROVED POWER SYSTEM REALIZATION AND INTEGRATION
(2020-04-14)The main goal of this research is to pave a new path to solve electric power system problems from a realistic perspective. The problems covered in this thesis are power transmission lines, power flow (PF) or load flow (LF) ... -
IMPROVED PREDICTION OF THE EFFECTS OF ANTHROPOGENIC STRESSORS IN THE GULF OF MEXICO THROUGH REGIONAL-SCALE NUMERICAL MODELING AND DATA ASSIMILATION
(2018-12-05)The Gulf of Mexico (GOM) is of great ecological and socio-economic importance; however, its ecosystems are increasingly stressed by anthropogenic pressures. Two of the most serious are excessive nutrient inputs from land ... -
Improved Projection Methods for Exploratory Data Analysis in Chemistry
(2012-08-24)With the rapid development of modern instruments, chemical data have become more complex in both volume and structure, which imposes more demanding requirements for advanced data analysis tools. As a highly interfacial ... -
Improved Synthesis and Enhanced Reactivity of X-BODIPYs
(2019-01-15)F-BODIPYs are most known for their high thermal and photochemical stability, being quite chemically robust and having tunable fluorescence properties. This thesis focuses on three general areas of BODIPY chemistry: the ...
