Integrity and Fracture Response of Offshore Pipelines Subject to Large Plastic Strains
(2011-03-30)Steel pipelines are widely used in offshore oil/gas facilities. To achieve economically feasible designs, regulatory codes permit utilization of the pipelines well past their elastic response limit. This requires thorough ... -
The Intellectual Genealogy of the Antigonish Movement
(2018-07-04)‘Civil society’ has been re-established in the social sciences as a central theoretical motif during the last twenty-five years – particularly within the fields of historical sociology, political philosophy, and moral ... -
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE AND BIODIVERSITY IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY: THE POTENTIAL OF GEOGRAPHICAL INDICATIONS FOR PROTECTING TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE-BASED AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS
(2012-03-27)The relationship between international regimes regulating intellectual property, traditional knowledge and biodiversity has received much attention in recent times. Of the many complex and controversial issues in contemporary ... -
An intelligent decision support system for debt management.

Intelligent Deman Side Deployment in Renewable Distributed Generation Grids
(2013-08-06)Demand Side Management (DSM) and real-time pricing (RTP) are methods by which the consumer can participate in the electricity market and reduce electricity expenditures. By having more active consumers in the electricity ... -
Intelligent Design, Science, and Sexual Politics
(2014-08-26)In this project, a strategic interdisciplinary approach is utilized to examine the connections between Intelligent Design (ID), science, and sexual politics. I argue that despite its scientific appearance, ID is best ... -
Intentional Aging: A Contemplative Community-Based Approach to Urban Dwelling
(2016-09-01)This thesis explores the relationship between intentional communities, dwelling, and the process of aging as a sociodemographic phenomenon within urban environments through the non-theistic spiritual tradition of Shambhala. ... -
Intentional Forgetting Diminshes the Likelihood of Semantic Encoding in the Item-method Paradigm
(2020-08-31)The aim of the current study was to determine whether differences in the nature of encoding that underlies to-be-remembered (TBR) vs. to-be-forgotten (TBF) items are responsible for the disparity in the quality of their ... -
The Intentions of Graduate Student Researchers to Participate in Knowledge Translation: A Mixed Methods Investigation
(2017-09-15)There is a well-established disconnect between research evidence and health practice. This has prompted efforts to improve knowledge translation (KT) between knowledge producers and knowledge users. Little is known about ... -
INTER-KINGDOM EPIGENETICS: CHARACTERIZATION OF MAIZE B1 TANDEM REPEAT-MEDIATED SILENCING IN DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER
(2010-09-02)Transgenic organisms are a valuable tool for studying epigenetics, as they provide significant insight into the evolutionary conservation of epigenetic control sequences, the interacting proteins, and the underlying molecular ... -
INTERACTION OF IRRADIANCE AND STOCKING DENSITY ON NUTRIENT UPTAKE BY RED MACROALGAE. IMPLICATIONS FOR BIOREMEDIATION OF FISH FARM EFFLUENTS
(2013-10-30)In land-based integrated aquaculture of marine finfish and macroalgae, rearing space is a large expense. Increasing algal stocking density can increase efficiency, but this may require greater irradiance because of ... -
The interaction of water waves with submerged spheres and circular cylinders.
(Dalhousie University, 1997) -
Interactions Between an Invasive Epiphytic Bryozoan and Species of Rocky Subtidal Habitats of Nova Scotia
(2010-11-02)In Nova Scotia subtidal habitats, the invasive bryozoan Membranipora membranacea interacts with native bryozoan Electra pilosa on kelps, which offer high space availability but are highly dynamic, and on non-kelp algae, ... -
Interactions between convection and the background atmosphere during high rain events: observations and comparisons with models
(2014-05-01)The thesis consists of three projects. Each of these projects is a diagnostic study of the interaction between strong convective events and the background atmosphere. In all projects, we use a satellite rainfall dataset ... -

Interactions of corrosion control and biofilm on lead and copper in premise plumbing
(2013-12-17)Premise plumbing can contain copper and lead bearing fixtures, and although copper is considered primarily an aesthetic issue, the neurotoxic effects of lead present a significant public health concern. Utilities approach ... -
Interactions of Native and Modified Clupeine with Escherichia coli K-12 and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium 14028 Cells and Model Biomembranes
(2020-01-22)Clupeine, a cationic antimicrobial peptide found in the sperm cells of fish, is of interest as a food additive because of its antimicrobial activity against several foodborne pathogens. But, non-specific binding of clupeine ... -
Interactive Effects of Main Climate Change Components on Growth and Development of Arabidopsis Thaliana
(2018-12-17)Higher temperature and elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration are expected to cause changes in global precipitation patterns and thus increased water stress events in soils. Few studies have reported the interaction ...
