A Novel Use of Optical Coherence Tomography for the Assessment of Ocular Torsion
(2019-07-30)Abnormal ocular torsion is most frequently the result paresis of the fourth cranial nerve. The presence of torsion can be a barrier to fusion, in which case, surgical intervention is required for a patient to have single ... -
NOz Interference in Measuring NO2 by Molybdenum Oxide Conversion and Chemiluminescence at a coastal site in Nova Scotia, Canada
(2017-08-29)The common method of monitoring NO2 (Nitrogen dioxide) in Canada may be subject to error by interference from other oxides of nitrogen. These other compounds are capable of causing instruments to over-report NO2 concentrations. ... -
NU Healing: Empowering the Margin(alized)
(2015)The correctional system in Nunavut ignores the systemic social dysfunction underlying criminality in the Territory that has been the result of several generations of social and cultural displacement. As a physical manifestation ... -
NUCLEAR CALCIUM DYNAMICS IN HIPPOCAMPAL NEURONS
(2016-07-12)Increasing evidence points to neuronal nuclear calcium signalling as a conduit between electrical activity and transcription-dependent changes, and it is possible that different mechanisms of nuclear calcium influx trigger ... -
Nuclear disarmament in international law.
(Dalhousie University, 1998) -
Nuclear magnetic resonance studies of homonuclear spin systems in solids.
(Dalhousie University, 1994) -
NUESTRA REVOLUCION NO SERA TELEVISADA: NEW FORMS OF EXPRESSION IN CUBA’S CIVIL SOCIETY
(2011-12-14)In an effort to expand the scholarship dealing with the topic of civil society in Cuba, this thesis deals with the question of Cuban civil society and its relationship with socially conscious underground musicians. It ... -
NUMERICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF BEHAVIOUR OF REINFORCED MASONRY COLUMNS
(2023-11-07)This study investigated the behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) masonry columns with an emphasis on assessing the moment magnifier method specified in the Canadian masonry design standard CSA S304-14 for design of masonry ... -
NUMERICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF GROUTED ROCK BOLTS AND THEIR DEFECTS USING ULTRASONIC GUIDED WAVES
(2013-05-23)A rock bolt installed in field has only one short exposed end on the rock surface. This condition has posed challenges in field instrumentation and made it difficult to use the ultrasonic guided wave method for rock bolt ... -
Numerical computation of multi-hull ship resistance and motion.
(Dalhousie University, 2001) -
Numerical Investigation of the Strength and Failure Mechanism of Hard Rock Pillars Under Compressive and Shear Loading Conditions
(2023-09-27)Pillars are important support elements in underground mines. A reliable design of hard rock pillars requires a thorough understanding of their strength and failure mechanisms. While several investigations have been conducted ... -
Numerical Modeling and Optimization of Open-Ocean Aeration Systems
(2018-04-30)The coastal regions of Nova Scotia are prone to warmer ocean temperatures resulting in lower dissolved oxygen (DO) levels during the summer months. DO levels below 6 mg/L lead to reduced feed conversion, growth, and welfare ... -
Numerical modeling of a laterally heterogeneous lithosphere under extension: Strength contrasts and rifting of a metasomatized craton
(2015)The heterogeneous composition of the lithosphere affects the way it deforms under extension. This thesis investigates the effects of heterogeneities that introduce compositional, thermal, and thickness contrasts within an ... -
Numerical modeling of Atlantic hurricanes moving into the middle latitudes.
(Dalhousie University, 2006) -
Numerical Modeling of Concrete-Filled Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Piles
(2019-11-06)Although many studies have been conducted on the structural behavior of concrete-filled fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) tube (CFFT), the soil-structure interaction of CFFT piles was not previously considered. In this study, ... -
Numerical Modeling of Large-Displacement Fluid-Structure Interaction: Preliminary Study Aimed at Analysis of Heart Valve Dynamics
(2012-08-22)The demand for artificial heart valve replacements is increasing as a result of birth defects, ageing and disease. Collaboration between engineers, biologists and mathematicians is necessary to handle problems related to ... -
Numerical Modeling of Salt Tectonics at Rifted Continental Margins
(2016-09-02)This thesis applies finite element numerical modeling to a range of projects investigating salt tectonics at rifted continental margins. Both two-dimensional and fully three-dimensional models are used. The first project ... -
Numerical Modelling of Integral Abutment Bridges
(2021-11-02)Integral Abutment Bridges (IABs) are well known for their lower construction and maintenance costs by eliminating expansion joints and bearings. The flexible piles supporting the end-span abutments offer the possibility ... -
Numerical Modelling of Vehicle Loads on Buried Orthotropic Steel Shell Structures
(2010-11-26)An investigation was performed for live load forces applied to soil-steel structures under shallow backfill depths, specifically a long span deeply corrugated box culvert. The work was also relevant to other types of ... -
Numerical seakeeping predictions of shallow water effect on two ship interactions in waves.
(Dalhousie University, 2001)
