LOCAL AND REGIONAL DRIVERS OF OXYGEN VARIABILITY IN COASTAL EMBAYMENTS ON THE SOUTHWEST SCOTIAN SHELF: IMPLICATIONS FOR NOVA SCOTIA ATLANTIC SALMON (SALMO SALAR) FARMING
(2022-08-30)Globally, the coastal ocean is increasingly threatened by climate change-related stressors, such as ocean warming and deoxygenation. As a result, anthropogenic activities such as sea cage aquaculture, which often occurs ... -
Local and Remote Forcing of the Ocean by the Madden-Julian Oscillation and its Predictability
(2011-09-06)The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) is the dominant mode of intraseasonal variability in the tropical atmosphere and provides global predictability on timescales that bridge the gap between weather and climate. The influence ... -
LOCAL ANOMALY DETECTION IN MARITIME TRAFFIC USING VISUAL ANALYTICS
(2020-12-01)With the recent increase in sea transportation usage, the importance of maritime surveillance to detect unusual vessel behavior related to several illegal activities has also risen. Unfortunately, the data collected by ... -
Local Fast Reroute With Fine-Grained Monitoring and Priority-Aware Congestion Control
(2019-08-26)Communication links or nodes failure is common in Software-Defined Networking (SDN), which affect on-going communication and induces performance bottleneck. In SDN, protection-based recovery mechanisms pre-installs a ... -
Local IL-15-immunotherapy to treat melanoma
(2017-12-15)Intratumoural (i.t.) IL-2 is an effective treatment for cutaneous, metastatic melanoma. However, treating patients with high metastatic burden can be very challenging. Another common γ chain cytokine, IL-15, facilitates ... -
Local Methods for Document-Level Natural Language Processing
(2023-12-14)Given the recent rise in popularity of methods based on Deep Neural Networks inside Natural Language Processing (NLP), important progress has been made in a variety of tasks that was not possible before, given their ... -
Local Quantum Chemistry
(2012-09-11)The single-particle momentum is studied as a tool for the visualization of the electronic regions in atoms and molecules. The limiting values of this function correctly obey two fundamental theorems: Kato's cusp condition ... -
Local Stability Analysis of Hydrogen Bonding and Other Non-Covalent Interactions
(2014-12-11)Bader's quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) is used to evaluate local atomic stabilities in clusters of molecules. The total energy of a molecular system is decomposed into atomic contributions determined quantum ... -
Local Structure and the Photoelastic Response in Zinc-modified Oxide Glass
(2013-08-16)Understanding the relationship between the structure of materials and their properties allows for the development of new applications and technologies. Here the relationship between local structure and optical properties ... -
Localization and targeting of B2-1, a guanine-nucleotide exchange factor for ADP-ribosylation factors.
(Dalhousie University, 2000) -
Localization of Near-Surface Anomalies Using Seismic Rayleigh Waves
(2010-05-03)The presence of subsurface anomalies, such as cavities, faults, unknown tunnels, etc., either natural or man-made, can cause public safety hazards. The detection of these features requires the development of new methods. ... -
LOCALIZATION OF VENTRICULAR ACTIVATION ORIGIN USING PATIENT-SPECIFIC GEOMETRY
(2018-01-15)The clinical electrophysiological (EP) techniques of intracardiac recording and stimulation have emerged as invaluable tools for investigating and treating life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias. Computing technology plays ... -
LOCALIZING GENETIC ELEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE IN MINK USING A SEQUENCE-BASED SNP PANEL
(2014-12-15)Reproductive performance is a multifactorial trait which is affected by genetic, physiological and environmental factors. This study aimed at identification of genetic elements associated with fertility in mink females ... -
LOCALIZING INTERNATIONAL GENDER POLICY TO IMPROVE WOMEN’S AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITY IN EAST AND WEST AFRICA.
(2021-12-17)In Africa, women play an essential role in the agricultural sector. They produce about 70% of the food that is consumed locally. However, women face more constraints than men in accessing productive resources such as land, ... -
Localizing Rural Acadian Identities: Social and Ethnic Reproduction in Pomquet, Nova Scotia
(2022-04-14)This dissertation is an ethnographic study detailing how ethnic identities are reproduced in Pomquet, a rural Acadian community in Eastern Nova Scotia. At the turn of the twentieth century, the Acadian nationalist project ... -
LOCATING SHAMBHALA: A PILGRIMAGE COMPLEX FOR KALAPA VALLEY IN THE HIGHLANDS OF CAPE BRETON, NOVA SCOTIA
(2015-04-06)This thesis explores the relationship between landscape, sacred space and dwelling in the non-theistic spiritual tradition of Shambhala. Through the design of a pilgrimage complex for Kalapa Valley in the Cape Breton ... -
"Lock Up Your Sons": Queering Young Adult Literature and Social Discourse
(2012-08-24)Young adult literature (YA) has been stereotypical in many of its portrayals of LGBTQ teens from the 1960s to the early 2000s, but three contemporary YA series--Cassandra Clare's The Mortal Instruments, Sarah Rees Brennan's ... -
LOCOMOTION CHARACTERIZATION OF DCC AND NCK2 MUTANT MICE
(2019-01-15)ABSTRACT Transmembrane receptor protein DCC (deleted in colorectal cancer) and its intracellular binding partner Nck (non-catalytic tyrosine kinase adaptor protein) are both important in spinal locomotor network formation. ... -
