Conducting a Waste Audit in the Killam Library at Dalhousie University to Establish Waste Habits and Locate Problem Areas
(2010-04)This report analyzed the need for increases in waste diversion rates in order to reduce the amount of waste entering landfill sites. As municipalities move towards reducing and diverting their waste, universities are also ... -
Conducting a Waste Audit in the Second Year Introductory Biochemistry Laboratory at Dalhousie University to Determine Waste Diversion Strategies
(2011-04)This report analyzed the amount of waste produced in the Introductory Biochemistry Laboratory 2610 at Dalhousie University to determine the portion of waste that could be diverted from the landfills and also what materials ... -
Configuration-Space Approach to the Fcc to Hcp Structural Transition
(1990-07)No abstract available. -
Confirmation of a Dominating Hot-Dust Component in z~2 Star Forming ULIRGs
(2009-01-28)This submission has been withdrawn. -
Connecting Value and Knowledge of Marine Environmental Issues: A Social Survey in Coastal Nova Scotia
(2013-04)The maritime province of Nova Scotia maintains a strong cultural and economic connection to the sea, but is increasingly under threat from various anthropogenic stressors, such as climate change, overfishing, and pollution. ... -
Consequences of farmed-wild hybridization across divergent wild populations and multiple traits in salmon
(2010-06)Theory predicts that hybrid fitness should decrease as population divergence increases. This suggests that the effects of human-induced hybridization might be adequately predicted from the known divergence among parental ... -
Consequences of sexual selection for fisheries-induced evolution: an exploratory analysis
(2008-02)Reproductive behaviour and mating system complexity may influence fisheries-induced evolution. Mate choice and intrasexual competition might favour late-, large-maturing genotypes in contrast to the selection imposed by ... -
Conservation genetics as applied evolution: from genetic pattern to evolutionary process
(2008-02)Conservation genetics can be seen as the effort to influence the evolutionary process in ways that enhance the persistence of populations. Much published research in the field applies genetic sampling techniques to infer ... -
Consideration of marine non-indigenous species in the planning, management, and monitoring of Canadian marine protected areas
(2020-12)Marine protected areas (MPAs) are an important tool for protecting marine environments. They can help conserve biodiversity, protect endangered species and critical habitats, regulate human activities, and preserve social, ... -
The Constitution and the Social Contract

Constraining Dust and Molecular Gas Properties in Lyman Alpha Blobs at z 3
(2011-10-07)In order to constrain the bolometric luminosities, dust properties and molecular gas content of giant Lyman alpha nebulae, the so-called Lyman alpha blobs, we have carried out a study of dust continuum and CO line emission ... -
Constraining Star Formation and AGN in z~2 Massive Galaxies using High Resolution MERLIN Radio Observations
(2009-05-21)We present high spatial resolution MERLIN 1.4GHz radio observations of two high redshift (z~2) sources, RGJ123623 (HDF147) and RGJ123617 (HDF130), selected as the brightest radio sources from a sample of submillimetre-faint ... -
Constraint on Nonmetric Theories of Gravity from Supernova 1987-a
(1988-11)No abstract available. -
The Contact Metamorphic Effects of a Granitoid Pluton on Zinc-Lead Mineralization in the Manganiferous Metasediments of the Meguma Group, Eastville, Colchester County, Nova Scotia
(1985-04-15)The distribution of mineral resources in the Meguma Zone has been found to be spatially associated with the transition of the Goldenville and Halifax Formations (GHT, Zentilli and MacInnis, 1984). The Eastville deposit ... -
Contact Relations Between The New Ross Leucomonzogranite and the Falls Lake Mafic Porphyry: Evidence for Magma Interactions in the South Mountain Batholith
(1994-03-15)The South Mountain Batholith is a peraluminous composite batholith that intruded over a short interval of time. The batholith consists of 260 intrusive bodies, thus the possibility of magma-magma interactions is high. The ... -
Contemporary effective population and metapopulation size (Ne and meta-Ne): comparison among three salmonids inhabiting a fragmented system and differing in gene flow and its asymmetries
(2013-03)We estimated local and metapopulation effective sizes ((N) over cap (e) and meta-(N) over cap (e)) for three coexisting salmonid species (Salmo salar, Salvelinus fontinalis, Salvelinus alpinus) inhabiting a freshwater ... -
Contemporary nuclear and mitochondrial genetic clines in a north temperate estuarine fish reflect Pleistocene vicariance
(2011)Contemporary genetic spatial structure in north temperate marine species is likely the culmination of multiple vicariant and dispersive cycles. Here we evaluate spatial genetic structure in an estuarine fish, rainbow ...
