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 ... -
Response: on the consequences of sexual selection for fisheries-induced evolution

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 ... -
The Rest-Frame Optical Properties of SCUBA Galaxies
(2004-12-21)We present optical and near-IR photometry of 96 dusty, far-IR luminous galaxies. We have precise spectroscopic redshifts for all these galaxies yielding a median redshift of z=2.2. The majority, 78, are submm-detected ... -
The Rest-frame Optical Spectra of SCUBA Galaxies
(2004-11-20)We present near-infrared spectroscopy and narrow-band imaging at the wavelength of redshifted H-alpha for a sample of 30 high-redshift, far-infrared luminous galaxies. This sample is selected from surveys in the sub-millimeter, ... -
Restframe Optical Spectroscopic Classifications for Submillimeter Galaxies
(2006-11-10)We report the results of a systematic near-infrared spectroscopic survey using the Subaru, VLT and Keck Telescopes of a sample of high redshift Ultra-luminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs) mainly composed of submillimeter-selected ... -
Restoring mangrove forests in Indonesia’s Tanjung Panjang area through the use of market-based incentives: Lessons learned from international case studies.
(2013-10-03)Indonesia’s Tanjung Panjang area has experienced an unprecedented loss of mangrove habitat over the past few decades, due largely to illegal aquaculture practices know as tambak farming. This is of particular concern as ... -
Retrieval of phytoplankton biomass from simultaneous inversion of reflectance, the diffuse attenuation coefficient, and Sun-induced fluorescence in coastal waters
(2007-06)[1] A model has been developed to retrieve phytoplankton absorption, a proxy for phytoplankton biomass, from observations of reflectance ( R) and the diffuse attenuation coefficient (K-d) collected by moored radiometers ... -
Retrofitting Showerheads in Dalhousie University Residences: A Cost-Benefit Analysis
(2009-04)With the human population expected to double by 2027, resource depletion has increasingly becoming a cause for concern. Only 2.5 percent of the earth’s water supplies are classified as fresh, and even less is accessible. ... -
Return periods of extreme sea levels from short records
(1986-10/15)Extreme sea levels usually arise from a combination of the tides (assumed here to be deterministic) and storm surges (assumed stochastic). The authors show how tide and surge statistics derived from short (~1 year) records ...
