A Low-Cost and Resilient Flow Monitoring Framework in SDN
(2019-08-06)Network measurement and monitoring are essential for learning the current network state and act accordingly. Moreover, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) makes the measurement and monitoring more accessible and flexible. ... -
Low-Cost Submersible Fluorometer for Fresh and Marine Water Environments
(2022-12-15)Fluorescence technology is a powerful tool for the detection of harmful algal blooms, oil spill response, oceanographic tracer experiments, and much more. Two ways of fluorescence detection are presented here, a novel ... -
Low-dose pesticide effects in Apis mellifera: testing hormesis and reviewing changing trends in honey bee toxicology research
(2022-08-30)Honey bees (Apis mellifera) dominate crop pollination worldwide and are often considered the most important pollinator of agricultural crops. As pollinators, honey bees are likely to encounter insecticides in the field. ... -
Low-Frequency Hydrophone Calibration Using Elastic Waveguides
(2023-08-08)Modern hydrophone calibration techniques typically require sensors to be placed in a free field or within a hydrostatically varying chamber. Between 1 kHz and 10 kHz, the wavelength in water is too long for free-field ... -
Low-Power Staircase Encoder Implementation for High-Throughput Fiber-Optical Communications
(2020-09-11)This thesis presents a very large scale integration (VLSI) architecture of a high-throughput, low latency and power staircase forward error correction (FEC) encoder. The designed encoder achieves low latency and memory ... -
Low-temperature hydrogen-atom ordering in NaOH in relation to the deuterium-induced phase transition in NaOD.
(Dalhousie University, 1998) -
Low-Voltage and Low-Power Analog Integrated Filters implementing Current-mode Bulk-Driven Differentiators
(2016-08-31)This work introduces a CTCM Gate-driven (GD) and Bulk-driven (BD) differentiators using the TSMC 65 nm CMOS technology as an alternative to existing integrator circuits. This CM differentiator exhibits higher stability and ... -
Lower Bounds for Quantum Circuits
(2021-12-06)In quantum computing, computational tasks are represented by quantum circuits. These circuits are composed of gates whose physical realization comes at a cost. Typically, gates from the so-called Clifford group are considered ... -
Lower Limb Biomechanics in Response to Unexpected Walking Surface Translations During Gait in Individuals with Knee Osteoarthritis: A Comparison Study to Healthy Asymptomatic Individuals
(2023-08-29)Knee osteoarthritis is a prevalent musculoskeletal condition affecting mobility and function. Walking surface perturbations unpredictably challenge individuals to test joint function. Thesis’ objectives were to determine ... -
Lower Respiratory Tract Infections in Multiple Subgroups of Immunocompromised Children: A Retrospective Cohort Study
(2020-08-31)Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) are more likely to have severe impact on immunocompromised children. Hence, we determined among immunocompromised children (1) the incidence of LRTI hospitalizations, (2) ... -
Lower Shore Battery Interpretive Centre: Graffiti Writers, Wreck Divers, and Transatlantic Trade History at the York Redoubt
(2021-08-16)This thesis lays out the rationale, goals, and design of a center for graffiti writers, scuba divers, and an exhibition on trans-Atlantic trade history at the York Redoubt, near Halifax, Nova Scotia. It begins from personal ... -
Lowly Wisdom: An Ecological Reading of Book Eight in Paradise Lost
(2014-08-25)This thesis offers an ecocritical and rhetorical analysis of the archangel Raphael's discourse on the limits of human knowledge in Book Eight of Paradise Lost (8.64-178); my argument outlines the connection between a ... -
A Loyalist Plantation in Nova Scotia, 1784-1800
(2012-09-05)At the close of the American Revolution thousands of American Loyalists were forced into exile and made their way to British colonies beyond the United States. Most of the Loyalists landed in British North America, ... -
