Nature vs. Nurture: Studying the Influence of Formal Environmental Education Receivedfrom Ages 4-18 on the Interpretation of Environmental Consciousness for Domestic Undergraduate Students of Dalhousie University’s Studley Campus
(2024-04)Our study’s purpose was to investigate the relationship between environmental education prior to post-secondary education and current participation in sustainable behaviour and or beliefs. The issue of protecting our ... -
Near-IR adaptive optics imaging of nuclear spiral structure in the Seyfert galaxy, NGC3227
(2002-04-04)We present high spatial resolution, near-IR images in J, H, K of the nucleus of NGC3227, obtained with the Adaptive Optics bonnette on CFHT. The ~0.15 arcsec (17pc) resolution allows structures to be probed in the core ... -
Needs and Wants: What Is Social Progress and How Should It Be Measured?

Negative electron-electron drag between narrow quantum Hall channels
(APS through AIP, 1998-03/15)Momentum transfer due to Coulomb interaction between two parallel, two-dimensional, narrow, and spatially separated layers, when a current Idrive is driven through one layer, is studied in the presence of a perpendicular ... -

New algorithms for MODIS sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence and a comparison with present data products
(2005-02)We discuss important sources of variability in sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence and examine difficulties in deriving fluorescence data products from satellite imagery, with a focus on the MODerate-resolution Imaging ... -
New insight into the South Tibetan detachment system: Not a single progressive deformation
(2012-03)Low-angle normal faults (LANF), typically regarded as accommodating crustal or lithospheric extension, may also form during lithospheric shortening. The best-studied system of syn-contractional LANFs is the South Tibetan ... -
A new measurement of CO sub(2) eddy flux in the nearshore atmospheric surface layer
(1991)Fluxes of CO sub(2) in the atmospheric surface layer have been measured at a shoreline site by the eddy correlation method using a new CO sub(2) sensor with greater sensitivity than the ones used in earlier studies. In ... -
A NEW METHOD FOR PRIORITIZING CATCHMENTS FOR TERRESTRIAL LIMING IN NOVA SCOTIA
(2015-04)Freshwater acidification is a chronic issue in South Western Nova Scotia (SWNS). Despite reductions in emissions causing acid deposition in SWNS, water quality in the region is not predicted to improve for another 60 years ... -
New production in the warm waters of the Tropical Pacific Ocean
(1994)The average depth-integrated rate of new production in the tropical Pacific Ocean was estimated from a calculation of horizontal and vertical nitrate balance over the region enclosed by the climatological 26 degree C ... -

News from the Galactic suburbia: the chemical composition of the remote globular cluster NGC 2419
(2012-08-01)We present the chemical analysis of 49 giant stars of the globular cluster NGC 2419, using medium resolution spectra collected with the multi-object spectrograph DEIMOS@Keck. Previous analysis of this cluster revealed a ... -

Nitrous oxide in the North Atlantic Ocean
(2006)In order to get a comprehensive picture of the distribution of nitrous oxide (N(2)O) in the North Atlantic Ocean, measurements of dissolved nitrous oxide were made during three cruises in the tropical, subtropical and ... -
NixSi1-x Alloys Prepared by Mechanical Milling as Negative Electrode Materials for Lithium Ion Batteries
(The Electrochemical Society, 2015-10-29)NixSi1-x (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5, x = 0.05) alloys were prepared by ball milling and studied as anode materials for lithium ion batteries. Nanocrystalline Si/NiSi2 phases were formed for x ≤ 0.25. The NiSi phase was observed for ...
