RELATIVE RATES OF SULPHIDE OXIDATION BY CHEMICAL AND MICROBIAL MEANS: THE ROLE OF MINERALOGY AND TEXTURE IN ACID ROCK DRAINAGE (ARD) FROM THE MEGUMA SUPERGROUP, NOV A SCOTIA
(1997-04-15)The Meguma Supergroup in Nova Scotia contains abundant sulphide minerals that potentially can cause acid rock drainage (ARD), which is environmentally damaging and expensive to ameliorate. The problem is most intense in ... -
Relative risks of inbreeding and outbreeding depression in the wild in endangered salmon
(2011-09)Conservation biologists routinely face the dilemma of keeping small, fragmented populations isolated, wherein inbreeding depression may ensue, or mixing such populations, which may exacerbate population declines via ... -
Remarks at the Workshop on Cost of Inaction
(The Royal Society of Canada/Institute for Research on Public Policy, 1988) -
Remembering the Pain of Childhood: Applying a Developmental Perspective to the Study of Pain Memories

Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems: A tool to support coastal climate change adaptation in Nova Scotia
(2019-12)Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS), more commonly known as “drones”, are being increasingly utilized to assist with civilian tasks. The rapidly developing technology offers a host of current and potential applications ... -
The Removal of Mandatory Home Economics from Quebec’s Official Education Curriculum
(2009-06)This study examines the Quebec government‟s 1997 decision to remove mandatory home economics from the province‟s secondary school curriculum, on the grounds that home economics has the potential to be a valuable tool in ... -
Repeatability in lactation performance and the consequences for maternal reproductive success in gray seals
(2009-09)In mammals, the most significant maternal effect on offspring growth during lactation is the ability of females to efficiently transfer milk energy to their neonates. However, despite the importance of the transfer of ... -
Repeated measurement of the components of attention of older adults using the two versions of the Attention Network Test: Stability, isolability, robustness, and reliability

Research into Dalhousie Water Consumption Through Drinking Fountain Usage
(2012-04)In our developed society, there exists a social stigma concerning drinking water from municipal sources (Pritchard, 2009). Some people would rather drink bottled water than indulge in a free resource that is easily ... -
Resistive anomalies at the critical point of isotropic ferromagnets
(1973-02/12)The effect of spin fluctuations on electrical resistivity (T) is studied in a single-band model. It is shown that d(T)/dT varies as the magnetic specific heat for TTc as well as TTc and that both short-range and long-range ... -

Respecting ontology: Documenting Inuit knowledge of coastal oceanography in Nunatsiavut
(2019-12)Climate change is having profound effects in the Arctic environment and ocean (i.e. changing sea ice thickness and timing, increasing water temperatures, changing species distributions), effects which are increasingly ... -
The respiratory development of Atlantic salmon .1. Morphometry of gills, yolk sac and body surface
(1996-12)During development from larva to juvenile in Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, there is a change in the anatomical potential for gas exchange among gills, body skin and yolk sac as the larvae resorb yolk, grow and develop ... -
The respiratory development of Atlantic salmon: II. Partitioning of oxygen uptake among gills, yolk sac and body surfaces
(1996)During post-hatch development of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.), O-2 uptake partitioning changes from primarily cutaneous to primarily branchial. Over 80% of post-hatch O-2 uptake was cutaneous, with the yolk sac responsible ... -

Rest-frame optical and far-infrared observations of extremely bright Lyman-break galaxy candidates at z ~ 2.5
(2005-09)We have investigated the rest-frame optical and far-infrared properties of a sample of extremely bright candidate Lyman-break galaxies (LBG) identified in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Their high ultraviolet luminosities ...
