Mining the City: A Reimagination of Old City Hall
(2022-08-11)The built environment is a building resource with enormous potential, but in today’s society, it is largely ignored. By mining the city for construction and demolition materials that have been deemed as “waste” before they ... -
Minkery wastewater integrated into microalgae and cyanobacteria production
(2017-09-01)In Nova Scotia, the mink industry has become an essential component to the economic vitality of the agricultural sector. With emerging regulations from the Fur Industry Act of 2010, mink producers are required to identify ... -
Miring in the Muck: Imagining Canada’s Regenerated Peatland
(2023-07-13)It is time that we mire ourselves in the muck. Peat-producing wetlands are disappearing into the atmosphere quicker than arctic sea ice is melting into the ocean, and they are taking millennia of sequestered carbon with ... -
Mirror to the Soul: The Undead in Late Medieval Romance
(2016-08-31)This thesis analyzes the role of undead figures in late medieval romance. Rather than focusing on the nature of the undead figures as representations of good or evil, this paper demonstrates that the undead characters of ... -
MISCARRIAGES AND THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT: A PHENOMENOLOGICAL ANALYSIS
(2014-08-26)Miscarriages, pregnancy loss less than 20 weeks gestation, are the most common complication of early pregnancy. Women who are miscarrying generally access care in emergency departments (EDs) where treatment focuses on ... -
Misdirecting Modernisms: The Gulf Between Rhetoric and Practice in Raymond Souster's Direction
(2022-04-18)By using Raymond Souster’s little magazine, Direction (1943-46), as a case study, this thesis addresses the gulf between rhetoric and practice in the development of Canadian modernism. In the Forties, Canadian modernists ... -
Mismatch Calibration of Time-Interleaved Digital-to-Analog Converters
(2010-08-17)This thesis presents a stable technique for distribution of data in Time Interleaved Digital-to-Analog Converters (TIDAC) that allows usage of the entire Nyquist bandwidth. The data distribution uses a Thiran all-pass ... -
MISMATCH INSENSITIVE VOLTAGE TO TIME CONVERSION AND CLOCK DISTRIBUTION TOPOLOGIES FOR THREE DIMENSIONAL INTEGRATED CIRCUITS
(2019-11-28)Reduced voltage dynamic range and increased mismatch between identical circuit components become pressing challenges as the transistor dimensions enter the nanometer scale. Recently, through silicon via (TSV) technology ... -
Mismatched: A Quantitative Evaluation of Thinking Versus Doing Masculinity in Canadian Sport
(2017-09-01)Increasing pressure and activism for social justice is challenging the primacy of hegemonic masculinity. As a result, inclusive masculinities, signified by stereotypically feminine traits are argued to exemplify the current ... -
The Missing Half: Reintegrating Women Into Pakistan’s Public Spaces in Lyari, Karachi
(2019-08-07)Women spatially inhabit a city differently than men, who are the default users in a patriarchal society. They negotiate the city differently, and they also perceive the boundaries of space differently. In the low-income ... -
Missing in Europe: A Critical Analysis of the European Union's Policies Regarding Unaccompanied Minors
(2019-08-26)EU policies aim to ensure unaccompanied minors (UAMs) who seek asylum alone receive rights-based treatment and feel protected under state care. However, Europol reported that more than 10,000 UAMs went missing from EU ... -
Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, Anishinaabeg Ethnobiology: Burial Sites and Biodiversity
(2022-12-14)The present study provides a language-centered approach to a meta-analysis of Anishinaabe ethnobiology, and a burial mound detecting image recognition algorithm under the guidance of Anishinaabe place names. Ferrier lab ... -
Mitigating Cardiotoxicity: The Effects of Physical Activity on Echocardiographic Parameters and the Metabolome in Breast Cancer Patients Receiving Anthracycline Treatment
(2023-07-28)Metabolomic profiling is a novel technique to identify anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (CTX). Higher physical activity levels may mitigate this damage. Therefore, the primary objectives of this thesis were to determine ... -
MITIGATING IMPACTS OF NEW FOREST ACCESS ROADS ON WATER LEVELS IN FORESTED WETLANDS: ARE CROSS-DRAINS ENOUGH?
(2014-12-15)New forest access roads are routinely constructed across sections of forested wetland in Canada’s maritime provinces. Seven such roads in southwestern Nova Scotia and central New Brunswick were examined. Treatments of 20 ... -
Mitigating the Impact of Ocean Ambient Noise in an Underwater Acoustic Communication System
(2022-04-05)In wireless communication links, receivers are typically designed to mitigate the variability in the propagation channel in presence of arbitrary white Gaussian noise. However, the variations in the instantaneous channel ... -
MITIGATION OF DROUGHT STRESS IN TOMATO WITH ASCOPHYLLUM NODOSUM (L.) LE JOL. EXTRACTS
(2014-08-19)Growth and development of a plant can be affected due to various biotic and abiotic stresses such as water, salinity, frost and pathogens. Application of seaweeds and their extracts to mitigate plant stresses in agriculture ... -
Mitochondrial and chloroplast genome evolution in green algae.
(Dalhousie University, 1998) -
MITOCHONDRIAL DAMAGE-ASSOCIATED MOLECULAR PATTERNS IMPACT LYMPHOCYTE FUNCTION AND CORRELATE WITH ORGAN HEALTH DURING NORMOTHERMIC MACHINE PERFUSION
(2024-02-06)Damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) molecules from mitochondria (mitoDAMPs) are released following tissue injury. Innate immune cells promote inflammation in response to mitoDAMPs, yet how this is controlled and ... -
Mitochondrial genome conformation and cytochrome respiration-related functions among the CW-group chlorophycean algae.
(Dalhousie University, 2003) -
MITOCHONDRIAL GENOME EVOLUTION IN THE DEEP-BRANCHING HETEROLOBOSEIDS AMOEBA ‘BB2’ AND PHARYNGOMONAS KIRBYI
(2017-09-15)Studies of mitochondrial genomes from diverse eukaryotes provide insights into how mitochondria evolved. Previous research revealed several evolutionarily interesting mitochondrial genomes in the taxon Discoba (Excavata), ...
