An investigation into food-insecurity felt by undergraduate student living off campus attending Dalhousie’s Studley Campus
(2023-04)Our group surveyed and interviewed undergraduate students living off-campus who attend classes on the Studley campus at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia. As a group, we developed questions based on a mixture of priorly ... -
Investigation into mechanisms of treatment resistance and heterogeneity in breast cancer and acute promyelocytic leukemia
(2021-09-14)Treatment failure remains a leading contributor to cancer related death despite considerable advances in detection and treatment approaches. Several factors contribute to treatment failure including the high degree of tumor ... -
An investigation into the development and content of HIV prevention and harm reduction policies in Nova Scotia: Do they address the needs of women who inject drugs?
(2012-03-12)Background: Women who inject drugs continue to represent a disproportionate percentage of new cases of HIV in Canada (PHAC, 2006). However, in Nova Scotia, HIV has still not been conceptualized as a major health issue, ... -
Investigation into the Effect of Groove Geometry on Grinding Performance in Creep-Feed Grinding
(2019-08-15)This work investigates the effects of different groove depths and groove widths on grinding performance in creep-feed grinding using circumferentially grooved grinding wheels. Using two constant-width diamond tools having ... -

Investigation of a Dog's Ability to Detect Ketosis in Dairy Cows
(2021-04-09)Cows can be in a state of sub-clinical ketosis before any of the clinical signs such as a decreased appetite, weight loss, and decreased milk production are present. In order to manage the incidence of ketosis it is important ... -
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 ... -
Investigation of Antifreeze Protein Activity in Blue Mussels and Amyloid-Like Transition in a Predominant Winter Flounder Serum Antifreeze Protein
(2013-10-28)The study of marine antifreeze proteins has provided new findings. The blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) was known to have antifreeze activity; however, the antifreeze protein or other molecule responsible has never been ... -
Investigation of Bioaugmentation and Other Process Changes and Their Effects on Ammonia Removal at a Municipal Wastewater Treatment Facility
(2022-09-09)The primary objective of this research was to determine the process changes responsible for the improvement of ammonia removal in a municipal WWTF, in addition to determining the success of a pilot bioaugmentation project. ... -
INVESTIGATION OF BIOLOGICAL FILTRATION FOR REMOVAL OF MANGANESE FROM DRINKING WATER
(2019-11-28)Reduced iron and manganese in drinking water can cause aesthetic concerns and manganese has potential neurotoxic effects. Biofiltration is a proven but poorly understood method for removal of manganese from drinking water. ... -
INVESTIGATION OF CARCINOGENIC PESTICIDE-ASSOCIATED N-NITROSO COMPOUNDS IN HUMAN SERUM AND URINE IN PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND
(2020-08-28)N-nitroso compounds form during acid-catalyzed reactions between certain nitrogen-containing compounds and nitrite. Approximately 90% of over 300 N–nitroso compounds have shown evidence of carcinogenicity. Pesticide-associated ... -
INVESTIGATION OF CIRCUMFERENTIALLY-GROOVED GRINDING WHEELS FOR CREEP-FEED GRINDING
(2015-01-13)This work investigates experimentally the use of a circumferentially-grooved grinding wheel on the creep-feed grinding process. The work was divided into three main objectives which are: investigating the performance of ... -
