A Qualitative Case Study Of Relationships Between Public Health And Municipal Drinking Water and Wastewater In Coral Harbour, Nunavut
(2013-08-21)Wide health gaps exist between Canada’s Inuit population and their non-Indigenous counterparts in nearly all categories. Two basic public health protection principles in any community worldwide are access to safe drinking ... -
A Qualitative Description of Care Partner Experiences at the Palliative and Therapeutic Harmonization Clinic
Palliative and Therapeutic Harmonization (PATH) is a novel service providing care to frail, older adults facing complex medical and surgical decisions. This qualitative study examines the role PATH plays in the experience ... -
A qualitative exploration of sexually transmitted and bloodborne infections (STBBIs) in a Canadian province: the utility of the social ecological model in understanding and reducing the spread of STBBIs in Nova Scotia
Rates of sexually transmitted and blood borne infections (STBBIs) have been on the rise over the last two decades in Canada. The goal of this study was to better understand the local factors contributing to the spread of ... -
Qualitative investigations of solutions to Einstein's field equations admitting a kinematic self-similarity.

"Quamina, do you hear this?" Revisiting the Demerara Slave Rebellion, 1823
In this thesis I re-examine primary documentation relating to the Demerara Rebellion of 1823. I engage in this exploration to ascertain whether previous narratives of the rebellion were correct in that all of the slaves ... -
Quantification and spatial analysis of seagrass landscape structure through the application of aerial and acoustic remote sensing
Biogenic components of the marine environment such as eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) provide numerous valuable ecosystem services and function as ecosystem engineers in the coastal environment. The spatial distribution and ... -
Quantification Of Gross Nitrogen Transformation Rates Within A Conventional Potato Rotation Using Stable Isotopes
(2012-12-13)This study used the isotope pool dilution method to estimate gross rates of mineralization, nitrification, NH4+ and NO3- consumption, and denitrification emissions over two growing seasons within a conventional barley-red ... -
QUANTIFICATION OF THE OCEANOGRAPHIC CONTRIBUTORS TO TIME-VARIANCE IN THE UNDERWATER ACOUSTIC CHANNEL DURING THE DALCOMMS1 EXPERIMENT
Underwater acoustic communication is a key enabler for civilian and military applications such as ocean sampling networks, offshore exploration, pollution monitoring and underwater surveillance (Akyildiz et al., 2005). ... -
Quantifying and modelling nitrate leaching from a lettuce field in Annapolis valley Nova Scotia
(2015-04-02)Nitrate leaching (NO3-) from vegetable fields has become significant environmental issue in North America. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of timing and rate of nitrogen (N) fertilizer on lettuce ... -
Quantifying coastal cliff retreat using Structure-from-Motion photogrammetry in the Minas Basin, Nova Scotia
Rates of retreat of cliffed coastlines are increasing around the globe, but the causes of observed increases are unclear. Lack of understanding complicates assessment of the risks to coastal infrastructure associated with ... -
Quantifying nitrogen loading and corresponding eutrophication symptoms in 7 bays in eastern New Brunswick, Canada
(2015-02-25)Anthropogenic nitrogen loading has been identified as a significant cause of seagrass decline worldwide. In the Southern Gulf of St. Lawrence, eelgrass (Zostera marina) is the dominant macrophyte in shallow coastal bays ... -
Quantifying predation on planktonic larval stages of marine benthic invertebrates
This thesis enhances our ability to develop hypotheses on effects of predation on the ecology of larval marine benthic invertebrates. I evaluated the mechanisms that influence encounter rates among predators and prey, and ... -
Quantifying the Impact of Media Supplementation on Cell Growth and Product Yield in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) Cells
The optimization of cell growth and productivity is a major concern in the production of recombinant proteins in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell cultures. Despite the frequency of media optimization in literature, there ... -
Quantifying the patterns of functional connectivity within the brain during imagined and overt movement of a functional task in non-disabled systems
(2014-08-21)This project was aimed at quantifying functional connectivity within the brain during motor imagery (MI) and the actual performance of a motor task, and comparing these networks using graph theory. Fifteen participants ... -
QUANTIFYING THE SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL VARIATION OF THE AIR QUALITY HEALTH INDEX IN HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA
(2012-04-03)The AQHI, currently used by the Canadian government, is a multi-pollutant public health information tool that is based upon extensive Canadian epidemiological evidence. As the AQHI is a relatively new metric, there is ... -
Quantifying the Spatiotemporal PM2.5, Black Carbon, and Ultrafine Particle Concentrations Aboard Public Buses in Brazil: A Comparison of Three Cities
The transportation environment contributes disproportionately to air pollution exposure, despite the short amount of time spent in this microenvironment. Elevated concentrations of air pollution within bus passenger cabins ... -
Quantifying Transport of Aquaculture Particulate Wastes
Scientific understanding of aquaculture interactions with the environment is limited, especially with regard to the far-field transport and possible impacts of particulate wastes. Both modelling and field studies have ...
