The Extent of Sustainable Education in the Engineering Faculty at Dalhousie University
(2015-04)Since we did not get 55 out of 56 surveys returned which is a 98.2% return rate (which is an impossibly high number) our findings are not with in the 95% confidence interval thus our findings are inconclusive. What our ... -
Extinct spreading center in the Labrador Sea: Crustal structure from a two-dimensional seismic refraction velocity model
(1995-02/10)The Labrador Sea contains a rare example of an abandoned mid-ocean ridge where active accretion of oceanic crust ceased due to a change in the spreading geometry of lithospheric plates. Seismic refraction data were collected ... -
Extracting Source Parameters from Gaussian Fits to Two-Particle Correlations
(1995-11/19)Using a quadratic saddle-point approximation, we show how information about a particle-emitting source can be extracted from gaussian fits to two-particle correlation data. Although the formalism is completely general, ... -
Extraction of tidal streams from a ship-borne acoustic Doppler current profiler using a statistical-dynamical model
(1996-04)We present a method for extracting the barotropic tide directly from the time-space series of horizontal velocity obtained by a ship-borne acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP). The method is conceptually straightforward, ... -
Extragalactic millimeter-wave point source catalog, number counts and statistics from 771 square degrees of the SPT-SZ Survey
(2013-06-14)We present a point source catalog from 771 square degrees of the South Pole Telescope Sunyaev Zel'dovich (SPT-SZ) survey at 95, 150, and 220 GHz. We detect 1545 sources above 4.5 sigma significance in at least one band. ... -
Extragalactic Source Counts at 24 Microns in the Spitzer First Look Survey
(2004-09)We present the Spitzer MIPS 24 micron source counts in the Extragalactic First Look Survey main, verification and ELAIS-N1 fields. Spitzer's increased sensitivity and efficiency in large areal coverage over previous infrared ... -
Faba bean: an alternative to soybean in Nova Scotia, Canada.
(Borkhauser Verlag: Basel, Boston, Stuttgart., 1982-01-01)For farmers in Nova Scotia who wish to be self-sufficient in animal feed, and in N fertilizer, the faba bean offers a number of advantages over soybean: (i) no special processing is required; (ii) nodulation is generally ... -
Fabrication of thiol-capped Pd nanoparticles: An electrochemical method
(2003-03)No abstract available. -
Facial selectivity in the 4 + 2 reactions of a diene derived from carvone
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2006)The facial selectivities of cyclohexadienes bearing isopropenyl and isopropyl groups as plane-nonsymmetric substituents were assessed in 4 + 2 reactions with N-phenylmaleimide, tetracyanoethylene and 4-phenyl-1,2,4- ... -
Facile Deprotection of F-BODIPYs using Methylboronic Acid
(2020)4,4-Difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacenes (F-BODIPYs) are deprotected through removal of the –BF2 moiety upon treatment with methylboronic acid. The tolerance of various substitution patterns about the dipyrrinato core ... -
Facilitating Carbon Footprint Awareness in the Ralph M. Medjuck Building
(2011-04)Research in any area that is working to reduce carbon dioxide is presently relevant, timely and urgently needed because climate change is occurring at an accelerated rate due to the carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas ... -
FACTORS AFFECTING IMTA (INTEGRATED MULTI-TROPHIC AQUACULTURE) IMPLEMENTATION ON ATLANTIC SALMON (SALMO SALAR) AQUACULTURE FARMS
(2020-12)Aquaculture operations are currently the fastest-growing food production industry, increasing output over 20 times in the past few decades alone. Waste management on “fed” aquaculture farms, like Atlantic Salmon, is a ... -
Fair Trade Campus: Identifying Support within the Dalhousie Community
(2012-04)The primary objective of this research project is to determine the level of support that is present at Dalhousie University for becoming a Fair Trade Campus. This is a holistic study that will take into account the ... -
Fair Trade Fish: A Tool to Protect Culture and Promote Responsible Fisheries Management
(2011-11-15)The fishing industry has played and continues to play an important role within Aboriginal culture and the larger Canadian demographic. Due to decades of habitat loss and poor fisheries management, many wild keystone fish ... -
The fair way or the Chiloé? Exploring the role of certification in the governance of labour in aquaculture in Chiloé, Chile [graduate project].
(2016)Aquaculture has emerged as an increasingly important element of global food production systems as the total global population continues to rise, and climate change impacts yields in both agriculture and capture fisheries. ... -
"Fair" inequality? Attitudes toward pay differentials: The United States in comparative perspective
(2006-06)Are American attitudes toward economic inequality different from those in other countries? One tradition in sociology suggests American "exceptionalism," while another argues for convergence across nations in social norms, ... -
A Family of Cosmological Solutions in Higher-Dimensional Einstein Gravity
(1995-01)No abstract available. -
The Far- and Mid-Infrared/Radio Correlations in the Spitzer Extragalactic First Look Survey
(2004-09)Using the SPITZER SPACE TELESCOPE and the VLA, we present the first DIRECT evidence that the well-known far-infrared/radio correlation is valid to cosmologically significant redshift. We also confirm, with improved statistics ... -
Far-infrared characterization of an ultra-luminous starburst associated with a massively-accreting black hole at z=1.15
(2007-05-01)As part of the "All Wavelength Extended Groth Strip International Survey" (AEGIS), we describe the panchromatic characterization of an X-ray luminous active galactic nucleus (AGN) in a merging galaxy at z=1.15. This object ...
