Theoretical Investigations of Non-Covalent Interactions: From Small Water Clusters to Large DNA Quadruplexes
(2010-04-16)
The chemical bonds that hold molecules together are composed of electrons, and in order to study these microscopic systems, electronic structure calculations are often employed. This thesis describes the results from ...
Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Prodigiosene Analogues
(2013-10-28)
Prodigiosenes are a family of tripyrrolic 4-methoxypyrrolyl-dipyromethane natural products based on the parent compound, prodigiosin. Prodigiosin exhibits significant anti-cancer activity including some ability to specifically ...
Parkland in Support of Biodiversity
(2010-12-20)
The Great Lakes of North America hold about one fifth of global surface fresh water excluding glaciers. These watersheds have experienced environmental stress due to dumping of sewage and industrial waste, as well as ...
Towards the Development of a Proteomics Workflow for High-throughput Protein Biomarker Discovery
(2010-06-22)
Two popular workflows exist for quantitative proteome analysis: two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE), with staining to visualize proteins, and multidimensional solution phase separations of isotopically ...
Planning a SEA change: designing a robust framework for strategic environmental assessment in Nova Scotia
(2014-08-15)
Strategic environmental assessment (SEA) provides governments, and other organizations, a method to formally incorporate environmental dimensions into strategic planning and policy evaluation exercises. Nova Scotia is ...
Zeros and Asymptotics of Holonomic Sequences
(2011-03-30)
In this thesis we study the zeros and asymptotics of sequences that satisfy linear recurrence relations with generally nonconstant coefficients.
By the theorem of Skolem-Mahler-Lech, the set of zero terms of a sequence ...
Fish and Fuel: Life cycle greenhouse gas emissions associated with Icelandic cod, Alaskan pollock, and Alaskan pink salmon fillets delivered to the United Kingdom.
(2010-09-07)
Seafood is a global commodity of growing importance. The present study examined contributions to global warming from three significant seafood product chains. Each of these systems were relatively fuel efficient compared ...
SHARING THE BURDEN OF SICKNESS: A HISTORY OF HEALING IN ACCRA, GOLD COAST, 1677 to 1957.
(2015-04-08)
Over the past three hundred years, the healing culture of Accra has been characterized by therapeutic pluralism rather than by the dominance of one particular regime of healing. Five major therapeutic traditions developed, ...
Development of a Best Management Plan for Spreading Dogbane (Apocynum androsaemifolium L.) in Wild Blueberry Fields
(2011-01-25)
There is little information published on the phenology and biology of spreading dogbane (Apocynum androsaemifolium L.), a perennial weed that is considered a serious problem in wild blueberry fields. There is no known ...
An Investigation of a Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm applied to Encrypted Traffic Identification
(2010-08-24)
This work explores the use of a Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) for both, feature selection and cluster count optimization, for an unsupervised machine learning technique, K-Means, applied to encrypted traffic ...
