The M33 Globular Cluster System with PAndAS Data: The Last Outer Halo Cluster?
(2011-01-12)We use CFHT/MegaCam data to search for outer halo star clusters in M33 as part of the Pan-Andromeda Archaeological Survey (PAndAS). This work extends previous studies out to a projected radius of 50 kpc and covers over 40 ... -

Madden-Julian Oscillation and sea level: Local and remote forcing
(American Geophysical Union, 2010-01)The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) is the dominant mode of atmospheric variability in the tropical atmosphere on intraseasonal time scales (i.e., weeks to seasons). This study examines the connection between the MJO and ... -
Magnetic Anomalies Near Ore Bodies and Mineralized Zones in the Troodos Ophiolite of Cyprus
(1989-04-15)The Troodos ophiolite in southwestern Cyprus has been a major producer of copper since the Bronze age. As such, the area has been studied and mapped extensively, and most known mineralized areas have been studied. Preliminary ... -
Magnetic properties of Co/GaAs(110)
(APS through AIP, 2006-12/15)We observed three magnetic states of an ultrathin, atomically well-ordered Co film grown on a cleaved GaAs(110) substrate. For a Co thickness less than 3.4 monolayers (ML), we find a ferromagnetically dead layer associated ... -
Magnetic Susceptibility of Halifax Formation Slates at the Halifax International Airport: Correlation with Potential for Acid Drainage
(1995-04-15)The disruption by excavation or quarrying of sulphide-rich slate units of the Halifax Formation of the Meguma Group of Nova Scotia leads to oxidation of the sulphides and generation of acid drainage. Construction within ... -
Magnetic susceptibility of metallic transition-metal dichalcogenides
(1981-07/01)A tight-binding model has been used to estimate the anisotropy of the magnetic susceptibility of the metallic transition-metal dichalcogenides. The calculated anisotropies obtained are in qualitative agreement with ... -
Magnetization dynamics of the ferrimagnet CoGd near the compensation of magnetization and angular momentum
(2006-10)No abstract available. -
Magnetoresistance and magnetic properties of Fe/Cu/Fe/GaAs(100)
(APS through AIP, 1999-10/01)A procedure for growth of smooth As free Fe surfaces on (46)-GaAs(100) is presented. Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) revealed that the Fe films have anisotropies equal to bulk Fe, modified only by interface anisotropies. The ... -
Maintenance of Positive Diversity-Stability Relations along a Gradient of Environmental Stress
(2010-04)Background: Environmental stress is widely considered to be an important factor in regulating whether changes in diversity will affect the functioning and stability of ecological communities. Methodology/Principal Findings: ... -
Making Active Transportation more Accessible on the Dalhousie Studley Campus: A Traffic Demand Analysis of LeMarchant Street and University Avenue
(2019-04)This research examines the current use of the University Avenue and LeMarchant Street intersection on the Dalhousie University Studley Campus. The current use by transportation type was determined through physical counts ... -
Making the switch: Assessing the potential for catch-and-release in Nova Scotia’s recreational shark derbies [graduate project].
(2015-03-03)Many shark populations are regionally and globally threatened by overfishing and bycatch, often aggravated by the practice of shark finning. While most conservation efforts have been aimed at enforcing sustainable quotas, ... -
Male and female pollination success in a deceptive orchid, a selection study
(1998-06)We carried out phenotypic selection analyses to assess the relative importance of several Horal traits, as well as microhabitat, in determining both male and female pollination success in a nonrewarding orchid (Cypripedium ... -
Managing Canada's Endangered: An Analysis of Canada's Efforts to Mitigate Shipping Impacts on North Atlantic Right Whales
(2018-12)North Atlantic Right Whales are vulnerable to anthropogenic impacts from commercial shipping and fishing practices. After the 2017 NARW season, that left 17 NARWs killed in Canadian and U.S waters, the U.S defined the ... -
Managing the Groundfish Industry on Sensitive Benthic Areas of Interest for Marine Protected Area Network Establishment in the Scotian Shelf Bioregion
(2020-12)Increases to the number and extent of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in recent decades is been critical for the conservation of coastal and marine environments. Canada has met its original target of conserving 10% of their ... -
