THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN EXPOSURE TO AIR POLLUTANTS AND GESTATIONAL HYPERTENSION IN WOMEN RESIDING IN URBAN HALIFAX
(2014-08-07)
This population-based retrospective cohort study examined the relationship between exposure to air pollution during pregnancy and gestational hypertension (GH). The Atlee Perinatal Database was used to determine GH and ...
A NOVEL TIME-DOMAIN DIAGNOSTIC METHOD FOR ECG SIGNAL SYSTEM BASED ON A SMART-PHONE
(2012-08-10)
This thesis presents a novel method on a Smart-phone for ECG tele-monitoring signal
analysis. The proposed system focuses on QRS complex detection, beat classi?cation
and arrhythmias classi?cation. In the regular process, ...
Efficient Hardware Implementations For The Advanced Encryption Standard Algorithm
(2010-10-26)
This thesis introduces new efficient hardware implementations for the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm. Two main contributions are presented in this thesis, the first one is a high speed 128 bits AES encryptor, ...
AN INVESTIGATION OF TRENDS IN CARBONACEOUS AEROSOLS OVER NORTH AMERICA
(2013-08-27)
A long term (1989-2008) decreasing trend in black carbon and organic carbon surface concentrations is indicated by insitu measurements (IMPROVE) in the United States in winter months. The observed percent negative trend ...
EXPLORATION OF SELF-MONITORING AS A THEORY-DRIVEN MANAGEMENT APPROACH FOR CHRONIC PAIN
(2014-08-22)
Theory is often recommended as a framework for guiding hypothesized mechanisms of effect. There is limited guidance about how to use theory in intervention development.
We used two novel approaches to explore theory as ...
An Integrated Neoclassical Realist and Constructivist Approach to the Study of Canadian Foreign Policy: Canada's Response to the 2011 Intervention in Libya
(2014-08-25)
The following project is an examination of Canadian foreign and defence policy. Specifically, it is argued that growing trends in Canadian foreign policy necessitate a theoretical framework that is able to accurately examine ...
SIMULTANEOUS CHARGING AND DISCHARGING OF A LATENT HEAT ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM FOR USE WITH SOLAR DOMESTIC HOT WATER
(2012-08-08)
Sensible energy storage for solar domestic hot water (SDHW) systems is space consuming and heavy. Latent heat energy storage systems (LHESSs) offer a solution to this problem. However, the functionality of a LHESS during ...
ELASTICITY OF DEMAND FOR NATURAL GAS IN WESTERN AND CENTRAL CANADA
(2014-04-03)
In this paper, we used the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model and the bounds test approach to estimate the elasticity of demand for natural gas in Western and Central Canada. The best model specification selected ...
Phytoaccumulation of heavy metals by aquatic plants.
