Cost-Benefit Analysis of Fossil Fuel Divestment
(2018-03)Anthropogenic climate change is impacting the lives of people around the world; many institutions have, therefore, committed to reducing their greenhouse gas emissions (Cabusch et al). Fossil fuel investment, the act of ... -
Cost-benefit analysis of outfitting the windows of the Henry Hicks Arts and Administration building with more efficient models to improve Dalhousie University campus sustainability
(2005-04)With its prominent clock tower and classic design, the Henry Hicks Arts and Administration building, which was built in 1955, is probably the university’s most recognizable and symbolic structure. Despite its importance ... -
Costs of locomotion and vertic dynamics of cephalopods and fish
(2000-12)The world's oceans are three-dimensional habitats that support high diversity and biomass. Because the densities of most of the constituents of life are greater than that of seawater, planktonic and pelagic organisms had ... -

Cretaceous marginal marine and freshwater rhizopods from central Nova Scotia, Canada
(1996-04-15)This study of rhizopod assemblages, from two cores drilled near Shubenacadie, provides evidence for a marine connection to central Nova Scotia during the early Cretaceous. Five different rhizopod assemblages have been ... -
A critical assessment and gap analysis of existing recovery strategies for the Atlantic Leatherback Sea Turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) [graduate project]
(2017)The leatherback sea turtle (Dermocheyls coriacea) is the fourth largest and most widely distributed species of reptile. There are three distinct populations in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. The leatherback is ... -
Critical behavior of two-dimensional magnetic systems with dipole-dipole interactions
(1989-01/01)The critical exponents of two-dimensional dipolar magnetic systems with isotropic in-plane ordering may be obtained from the expansion which determines the exponents of isotropic three-dimensional dipolar systems. However, ... -
A Critical Discourse Analysis of the impact of settler colonialism on populist environmental policy
(2018-04)Right-wing western style populism has been increasing in popularity in certain parts of the world (Europe, North America, Australia) recently. However, there has been little research done on the environmental policies of ... -
A Critical Evaluation of Old-Growth Forest Definitions in Canada
(2020-04)Old-growth forests are a precious resource. As critical areas of biodiversity, they provide habitat for many species at risk. They also provide a multitude of ecosystem services and have enormous intrinsic biological ... -
Critical exponents and amplitude ratios from electrical resistivity measurements of dysprosium
(1980-02/01)Resistive anomalies in helical antiferromagnets are shown to reflect the temperature dependence of the specific heat sufficiently close to the Neel temperature. The temperature dependence of superzone energy gaps does not ... -

Critical magnetic susceptibility of gadolinium
(1988-08/01)The magnetic suspectibility of a single crystal of high-purity gadolinium has been measured in the critical region with use of AC susceptibility methods. For reduced temperatures t10-3, the data are described by a simple ... -

Critical phenomena and a new class of self-similar spherically symmetric perfect-fluid solutions
(2000-04)No abstract available. -
Critical thinking through the eyes of Richard Paul and Karl Popper
(2014-10-08)This 1993 workshop marks the beginning of my new logical or metaphysical research program on the application of Karl Popper’s non-inductive theory of method to the management of the World’s commercial fisheries. The view, ... -
Crooked-line 2D seismic reflection imaging in crystalline terrains: Part 1, data processing
(2003-01)For cost and access reasons, most of the seismic reflection data collected in crystalline terrains have been acquired by 2D crooked-line profiling. When the survey geometry is significantly irregular and the geologic ...
