"SOME WOMEN ARE JUST SO MUCH BETTER THAN ME:" GOVERNMENTALITY ENACTED THROUGH THE BREAST CANCER SOCIAL MOVEMENT
(2013-03-25)
Breast cancer social movements have, in many ways, succeeded in increasing the visibility of the disease in North America, yet researchers understand little about the effects of this visibility; there is little information ...
The Functional and Morphological Changes by Noise without Causing Hearing Loss: A Comparison between Mice and Guinea Pigs
(2012-05-01)
Noise exposure is one of the most common causes for acquired sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Recent studies have demonstrated that low-level noise exposure can kill spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) without causing permanent ...
Interactions between macrobiota (wild and aquacultured) and the physical-planktonic environment: insights from a new 3-D end-to-end modelling framework
(2011-12-16)
Marine ecosystem-based management requires end to end models, which are models capable of representing the entire ecosystem including physical, chemical and biological processes, anthropogenic activities, and multiple ...
HIGHLY-RESOLVED TEMPOROSPATIAL SHRINKAGE KINETICS OF RESIN-BASED COMPOSITES USING LASER INTERFEROMETRY
(2014-08-14)
Photocurable resin-based composites (RBCs) are commonly used as dental restoratives due to their superior aesthetic quality. An enduring problem is that photocuring RBCs results in polymerization shrinkage that may lead ...
FORECASTING FUTURES - THE EFFECT OF AGE, ABUNDANCE, AND HARVESTING ON THE LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY OF MARINE FISHES
(2014-08-21)
In the first part of this thesis I attempt to address some of the concerns regarding the
stock-recruitment relationship that have been voiced over the last 50 years. In chapter
2 I revisit the shape of the stock-recruitment ...
OBSERVATIONS OF THE SPACE-TIME STRUCTURE OF FLOW, VORTICITY AND STRESS OVER ORBITAL-SCALE RIPPLES
(2013-07-09)
The spatial and temporal structure of the flow, vorticity and stress over equilibrium orbital-scale sand ripples are investigated at turbulence-resolving scales with a wide-band coherent Doppler profiler (MFDop) in an ...
AUTHENTICATING FAMILY: RE/CLAIMING LEGITIMACY BY THE LESBIAN HEADED STEPFAMILY
(2013-08-23)
Family is an integral part of the fabric of society with diverse configurations of people living together, related through blood or kinship. Changes to the Canadian political and legal structures granting access to marriage ...
THE P53-NMNAT2 FEEDBACK REGULATORY LOOP: MECHANISMS UNDERLYING P53 ACTIVATION
(2012-11-20)
The tumor suppressor p53 acts as a master transcription factor that controls hundreds of effecter genes in response to various cellular stresses. The flexibility of p53 to regulate its target genes with distinct functions ...
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 ...
Heuristic Evaluation of Dalhousie Repository Interface
(2013-07-31)
The number of Institutional Repositories (IRs), such as DalSpace, has been growing in the past few years. However, most IRs are not widely used by the intended end users. Evaluating the user interfaces is an essential part ...
