LAR's and PLAR's, during SARS
(2022-08-08)The Weak Lefschetz Property (WLP) of polynomial quotient rings is studied in commutative algebra for the implications it has for a ring's Hilbert function, which is a chief object of study in commutative algebra. As ... -
LARGE-SCALE LAND ACQUISITIONS IN TANZANIA: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THEIR IMPLICATIONS ON WATER SECURITY
(2015)The surge in large-scale land acquisitions – or ‘land grabs’ – following the financial crisis has provoked a polarised debate centred on the role of foreign investment in African agriculture. A critical and often overlooked, ... -
LARGE-SCALE TRIAXIAL TESTING OF SUSTAINABLE TDA BACKFILLING ALTERNATIVES
(2018-04-03)One billion scrap tires are generated worldwide every year. Advanced countries have a higher rate per capita of generating scrap tires. In 2015, Canadians disposed of 37 million tires; while, nearly 250 million scrap tires ... -
Large-Scale Web Page Classification
(2010-12-09)Web page classification is the process of assigning predefined categories to web pages. Empirical evaluations of classifiers such as Support Vector Machines (SVMs), k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN), and Naïve Bayes (NB), have ... -
The Larger Pelagic Crustacea of the Gully Submarine Canyon
(2011-09-06)The larger pelagic crustacean fauna of the Gully submarine canyon is described for the first time, based on three annual summer surveys. The larger Crustacea are a significant part of the Gully fauna, and are dominated by ... -
Laser Powder Bed Fusion Processing of Aluminum Powders Containing Iron and Nickel
(2020-08-31)The variety of aluminum alloys currently used in laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing (PBF-AM) is limited, yet the demand for such materials is growing. The AM community is particularly keen on aluminum alloys ... -
The Lasting Legacy of Munich: British Public Perceptions of Neville Chamberlain During the Phoney War
(2014-08-14)History remembers Neville Chamberlain as the personification of Britain's shame over the 1938 Munich Agreement. Literature that discusses contemporary attitudes towards Chamberlain relies on the misleading satisfaction ... -
Late Carboniferous nonmarine sequence stratigraphy and petroleum geology of the central Maritimes Basin, eastern Canada.
(Dalhousie University, 1996) -
Late Cenozoic Basin Evolution of the western Canadian Arctic Archipelago: The Beaufort Formation and Iperk Sequence
(2021-04-09)During the Late Miocene to Mid-Pliocene (Messinian to Zanclean), global mean annual surface temperatures (MAT) averaged >1°C warmer than present and transitioned to much cooler climates over the next million years. Today, ... -
Late Cenozoic upper-crustal cooling history of the Shuswap Metamorphic Complex, southern Canadian Cordillera, British Columbia: new insights from low-temperature multi-thermochronometry and inverse thermal modeling
(2015-04-30)The Shuswap Metamorphic Complex (SMC), located in the southern Canadian Cordillera, transitioned from a contractional orogen in the Early Jurassic to Late Cretaceous to an extensional tectonic province in the Eocene. ... -
The Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic Geological History of the Outer Continental Margin off Nova Scotia, Canada: Insights into Margin Evolution from a Mature Passive Margin
(2011-12-19)The continental margin off Nova Scotia (the Scotian margin) forms the northern edge of the North American Basin. The Cenozoic stratigraphy and geological history of the outer margin is not well known. This study examines ... -
Late Cretaceous to Cenozoic Reactivation of Central Scotian Slope Salt Bodies and the Impact on Slope Depositional Systems
(2015)The history of younger (Late Cretaceous to present) salt-related deformation is largely unknown on the Scotian Margin. This study investigates the style and timing of Late Cretaceous to Cenozoic salt tectonic rejuvenation ... -
Late Quaternary glaciation and sea-level change along the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia: Correlation of land and sea events.
(Dalhousie University, 1995) -
Late Transition Metal Complexes for E-H Bond Activation and Additions to Multiple Bonds
(2010-10-06)The study of organometallic chemistry in the context of catalysis can be approached from a stoichiometric perspective, in which PGM complexes are examined in the context of understanding fundamental reactions to provide ...
