Investigating Different Map Views for Exploring Neighbourhoods
(2014-04-07)Mobile wayfinding and guide applications have become indispensable tools for navigating unfamiliar urban spaces. Such applications address locations targeted, “just-in-time” queries, This thesis reports on research examining ... -
Investigating Disordered Positive Electrode Materials for Lithium-Ion Batteries Using Li(1+x)Ti2xFe(1-3x)O2
(2015)Typical positive electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries have ordered structures, containing well defined lithium percolation networks through the entire structure. Another type of structure which has until recently ... -
INVESTIGATING FRAILTY AND THE FEASABILITY OF USING A FRAILTY MEASURMENT TOOL AMONG EGYPTIANS
(2024-03-15)Background: Older frail adults experience higher mortality, hospitalization, and morbidity. As a result, researchers have extensively studied frailty in developed nations. However, the same cannot be said for developing ... -
Investigating Galvanic Corrosion in Low-Alkalinity Water: The Effects of pH, High Dose Corrosion Inhibitors, and Dissolved Inorganic Carbon
(2013-08-23)The objective of this study was to evaluate galvanic corrosion potential under various pH conditions, buffering capacities, and corrosion inhibitors including zinc orthophosphate (ZOP) and orthophosphate (OP). Bench-scale ... -
Investigating Governance Enablers for Water Safety Plans in Mi'kmaq and Wolastiqjyik Communities
(2022-04-19)Despite Canada’s privileged economic status, First Nations disproportionately experience drinking water issues. In the past decade, the focus has shifted from technological to governance-based solutions, in recognition of ... -
Investigating In-Situ Alloying During Blended Elemental (BE) and Master Alloy (MA) Sintering of Ti6Al4V
(2015-04-28)Despite an increasing body of research, there exists a lack of understanding about the alloying behaviour of PM titanium alloys. Specifically, Ti6Al4V, which is the most common alloy, has not been investigated sufficiently ... -
Investigating Indoor Green Space at Dalhousie University
(2015-04)This research project explores the various benefits of indoor green space on human health and aims to increase the ability of Dalhousie students to reap the benefits of nature exposure. Through reviewing the concepts of ... -
Investigating interference in the environmental sciences and studies in Canada: Defining the phenomenon and measuring its prevalence and impacts
(2022-08-29)When scientific researchers are sufficiently resourced to conduct research and communicate their findings, the knowledge produced can underpin technology and policy outcomes related to the environment and society. However, ... -
Investigating Maintenance Of The Yeast 2-Micron Family Of Plasmids
(2021-09-14)The 2µm plasmid of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the best-studied member of a family of multi-copy plasmids found only in Saccharomycetaceae budding yeast. All members of the family are small circular double-stranded DNAs ... -
Investigating Malt Inducing Premature Yeast Flocculation: Threshold and Stability
(2016-07-11)Premature yeast flocculation (PYF) has proven to be troublesome for the malting and brewing industries. It causes production difficulties and quality issues characterized by poor attenuation and low yeast cell counts ... -
Investigating mast cell responses and the functional role of Toll-Like Receptor 2 in Chlamydia pathogenesis
(2023-08-31)Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) is a Gram-negative obligate intracellular bacterium that can cause severe reproductive tract complications in females. In this thesis, I have investigated two aspects of the immune response in ... -
Investigating Microbial Nitrogen Cycling in the Northwest Arm, Halifax Harbour and in Wastewater Treatment Facilities Using Natural Abundance Stable Isotopes in Nitrate, Nitrite, and Ammonium.
(2023-12-06)Using a 3-year time series of concentrations of nitrate, nitrite and ammonium and natural abundance stable isotopes in nitrate, this project identifies seasonal trends and major sources of fixed nitrogen to the Northwest ... -
INVESTIGATING MOTOR INHIBITION IN MOTOR IMAGERY
(2017-09-01)Motor leaning can be achieved via motor execution and motor imagery (MI), where the difference is the lack of overt movement in MI. Many theories exist as to the timing and source of this motor inhibition, however no one ... -
INVESTIGATING OFF-RESONANCE FAT MODULATIONS IN THE TURBOSPI SIGNAL TO IMPROVE R2* MAPPING FOR QUANTITATIVE CELL TRACKING
(2017-12-15)Immune cells can be labelled with superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles and detected in vivo. Tracking the migration of immune cells is valuable for understanding the immunogenic response to both cancer and ... -
Investigating Performance Under Two Forms of Temporal Cueing
(2020-08-18)Temporal attention is the focusing of cognitive resources to an interval in time to prepare a response and improve perception. Recently, it has been shown that there are two independent forms of temporal attention: one ... -
Investigating pyrite genesis and relation to gold at the Lone Star Deposit, YT
(2023-04)The Klondike region of the Yukon Territory, Canada, is famous for extensive placer deposits, recovering over 20 million oz since discovery, but lacks any major defined bedrock resources. As a result of a surge in exploration ... -
