Synthesis, Reactivity, and Catalytic Applications of Ruthenium and Palladium Complexes Supported by New Pincer Ligands
(2012-11-20)Cyclometalated phosphine-based PNP and PCP ‘pincer’ complexes of the platinum group metals have been the subject of intense research in recent years, owing to the remarkable stoichiometric and catalytic reactivity exhibited ... -
Synthetic applications of diethyl cyanomalonate.
(Dalhousie University, 2007) -
Synthetic Space (and the Architecture of Play)
(2020-08-10)This thesis is about the kinetic relationship between body and space. It attempts to read the world as a continuous experience rooted in bodily sensation and investigates relationships between human bodies in the conception, ... -
SYRUP: A NOVEL INVERSION METHOD FOR AEROSOL SIZE-DISTRIBUTION PROPERTIES FROM OPTICAL AND CHEMICAL MEASUREMENTS OF PM2.5
(2019-07-30)Accurate knowledge of aerosol mass scattering efficiency (αsp) is essential to the realistic simulation of aerosol radiative forcing effects on climate as well as to the visibility influences of aerosols and also to the ... -
System-driven Research: Legitimate Experimental Design for Biological/biomedical Research
(2015-03-30)Exciting new high-throughput methodologies permit innovative experimental designs for current biological and biomedical research. Much of this research is “non-hypothesis-driven”: its experiments are not designed around a ... -
A SYSTEMATIC EVALUATION OF COBALT-FREE NICKEL-RICH CORE-SHELL STRUCTURED POSITIVE ELECTRODE MATERIALS
(2022-04-28)Layered Co-free Ni-rich (>80%) oxide positive electrode materials have attracted significant attention in recent years due to the high demand for lower cost and higher energy density lithium-ion batteries. The main difficulty ... -
A Systematic Investigation into Bisphosphine Ligands for Nickel-Catalyzed C(sp2)–N Cross-Coupling
(2023-04-10)Research into transition metal-catalyzed C–N cross-coupling reactions has been driven by a need for robust and facile synthetic routes towards bioactive molecules which are rich in C–N linkages. The use of Pd-based catalysts ... -
A systematic review of the prevalence of cyberbullying in Canada
(2015)This systematic review of research on the self-reported prevalence of cyberbullying (victimization and perpetration) in Canadian children and youth includes 45 studies from structured English and French searches of 8 ... -
A Systematic Review of the Validity and Reliability of Observational Measurement Tools Evaluating Undergraduate Nursing Students’ Individual Competency Outcomes Following High Fidelity Simulation-Based Clinical Experiences
(2015)Competence outcomes of simulation-based clinical experiences (SBCEs) are being reported in the literature but it is not clear if current SBCE tools use observational measures of competence outcomes nor is the instrument’s ... -
A SYSTEMATIC STUDY OF SELF-DISCHARGE MECHANISMS IN CARBON-BASED, AQUEOUS ELECTROLYTE ELECTROCHEMICAL CAPACITORS
(2013-03-21)This work focused on the study of self-discharge mechanisms of carbon electrochemical capacitor electrodes in 1.0 M H2SO4 electrolyte. Electrochemical capacitors have an increasingly important role in the future of energy ... -
Systematic Theology: Iamblichus' Reception of Plotinian Psychology
(2015)The following inquiry seeks to demonstrate that Iamblichus’ account of theurgy, rather than an example of a theological critique emerging from outside of the Platonic school, represents a development of the tradition as ... -
Systematically developing the chemistry of bismuth and other heavy metals with biorelevant ligands.
(Dalhousie University, 2004) -
A Tablet + Augmented Reality Interface for Interactive Multiple Linear Regression with Geospatial Data
(2024-01-29)AR headsets support large-area displays which make them suitable for immersive analytics. We explore using Microsoft HoloLens v2 for immersive geospatial analyses. We conducted three studies. The first study was about ... -
A tabu search method for a tactical forest planning problem.
(Dalhousie University, 1997) -
Tag Generalization For Facet-Based Search
(2013-08-23)In this project we address over-specification of tags, a common problem of modern tag-based document management systems. In such systems tags are essential for the document retrieval task. The accuracy of this process ... -
Tai Chi: A New and Ancient Reality: The Socio-Cultural Context of Older People who Practice Tai Chi in Halifax, Canada and Jinan, China
(2019-11-28)We reside in an aging global society. What people do as they age has been studied extensively in the leisure and aging literature. A variety of theories, such as the activity, continuity, disengagement, and innovation ... -
"Take a Picture with a Real Indian": (Self-) Representation, Ecotourism, and Indigeneity in Amazonia
(2011-09-06)This thesis uses three case studies to analyze and contextualize the interface between Western conceptions of indigenous peoples and nature and community-based conservation and development schemes in the Amazon: Kapawi ...
