A META-GREEN A Dynamic Architecture Along the Banks of the Saint John River
(2019-04-04)Through the catalytic theory of cybernetics, this thesis proposes a local intervention within the vast network of synthetic and organic systems that span the watershed of the Saint John River Valley in New Brunswick, Canada. ... -
The Metabolic Morphology of Chora: A Building Is An Organism On A Threshold
(2012-04-09)Expanding on the fields of bio-mimicry, morpho-ecologies, and dynamics and fluidity in architecture, this thesis proposes architecture as organism. It suggests that as organism, architecture is inherently responsive to ... -
Metabolic Studies of Fusobacterium varium Using NMR Spectroscopy
(2011-12-20)A complex relationship exists between intestinal microorganisms and the human host; further knowledge of the microbial contributions is important to understand human health and disease. The metabolism of F. varium, a ... -
Metabolites of Streptomyces akiyoshiensis and their relationship to HON biosynthesis.
(Dalhousie University, 1995) -
Metaheuristic Algorithms for the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Window and Skill Set Constraints
(2016-12-19)A subcontractor assigns installation services requested by a group of geographically scattered customers to its technicians daily. Requested services by the customers require a set of skills and should start during customers’ ... -
METAL OXIDE NEGATIVE ELECTRODES FOR SODIUM-ION BATTERIES
(2015)Sodium-ion battery technology is of interest for energy storage applications because it has the potential to be sustainable and cost effective. Currently, the lack of a suitable negative electrode material limits the ... -
A Metamorphic History of Supracrustal Rocks on Harøya and Finnøya, Nordøyane, Western Gneiss Region, Norway
(2013-01-02)The tectonometamorphic histories of allochthonous nappe units that were deeply buried and subsequently exhumed during the Scandian orogeny in the Western Gneiss Region (WGR) of Norway are poorly constrained and understood. ... -
The Metaphysical Origin of the Two-Fold Conception of Human Selfhood in Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics
(2014-08-25)This thesis aims to unearth the root of the apparent contradiction in Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics between the endorsement of the life devoted to, on the one hand, the practical good, and, on the other hand, the theoretical ... -
METAPHYSICS & MORALS IN CANADIAN CRIMINAL JUSTICE: A PRAGMATIC ANALYSIS OF THE CONFLICT BETWEEN NEUROSCIENCE AND RETRIBUTIVE FOLK PSYCHOLOGY
(2020-09-10)The retributive justification of Canadian criminal law contains several assumptions about human nature that conflicts with what neuroscience has established regarding human behavior and the function of rationality. ... -
Method Development for Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy Studies of Bovine Serum Albumin on Platinum Electrode Surfaces
(2014-04-03)In this thesis, a method is presented for studying protein adsorption on solid surfaces by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), using a model system of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) on platinum electrode surfaces. ... -
A Method for Designing Monuments for River Culture: The Chilean Patagonia Sin Represas Environmental Movement as a Case Study
(2022-04-14)This thesis asks how nature becomes a part of identity. It looks to the Chilean Patagonia Sin Represas (Without Dams) movement which halted the building of several hydroelectric dams along the Baker River. Geographical ... -
A Method to Characterize Natural Organic Matter using Size Exclusion Chromatography with Charged Aerosol Detector
(2018-09-28)The main objective of this research was to develop a new detection method to characterize natural organic matter (NOM) using size exclusion chromatography (SEC) with charged aerosol detector (CAD). Conventional UV detectors ... -
A METHOD TO PREDICT PILE RESPONSE UNDER VEHICULAR LOADING FOR INTEGRAL ABUTMENT BRIDGES
(2017-02-10)The objective of this work is to develop a design method for Integral Abutment Bridges (IABs), such that more accurate predictions of pile response to vehicular loading can be made. This paper presents the results of field ...
