An Evaluation of Restoration Techniques for a Small Scale All-Terrain-Vehicle Disturbance in the Lake Charlotte Peatland
(2010-09-27)A peatland near Lake Charlotte, Nova Scotia that had been damaged by all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) was identified as a compensatory mitigation site. Restoration practices commonly used for harvested peatlands were applied ... -
EVALUATION OF ROMAINE LETTUCE (LACTUCA SATIVA L. CV. PARRIS ISLAND) PRODUCTION UNDER AN ELEVATED CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) GAS ENVIRONMENT GENERATED FROM COMPOST MATERIALS
(2020-12-21)Composting is a process in which organic matter is biologically degraded leading to stabilized organic matter and waste gases such as carbon dioxide and ammonia. The CO2 emissions from the composting process can be used ... -
Evaluation of Schizochytrium sp. as a source of DHA and Haematococcus pluvialis as a source of astaxanthin pigment in diets for farmed salmonids
(2021-12-10)Two studies were conducted to evaluate the digestibility of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)-rich Schizochytrium sp. (Sc) in diets for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and to assess the fillet pigmenting efficacy of a weakened whole ... -
Evaluation of Seasonal Dynamics of Soil Macro-Nutrients and Corn Nutrient Uptake in Fields Amended with Three Types of Municipal Biosolids
(2020-12-21)Field-based experiments are being conducted to examine the effect of three municipal biosolids (composted, liquid mesophilic anaerobically digested, and alkaline stabilized) on soil nutrient dynamics, applied over three ... -
Evaluation of Simplified Methods of Analysis for Timber Bridges
(2022-03-31)The design of timber bridges in Canada is carried out in conjunction with the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code. A key feature of this code is the ability to employ a Simplified Method of Analysis (SMA) to determine the ... -
Evaluation of Soil-Cement Properties With Electrical Resistivity
(2013-05-09)The quality control of soil-cement during construction would benefit from a cost and time efficient tool for evaluating the soil-cement performance. The degree of cement mixing in ground improvement applications is key to ... -
EVALUATION OF SOLID STATE ACCELEROMETER SENSOR FOR EFFECTIVE POSITION ESTIMATION
(2010-12-08)Inertial sensors such as Gyroscope and Accelerometer show systematic as well as random errors in the measurement. Furthermore, double integration method shows accumulation of error in position estimation due to inherent ... -
EVALUATION OF SOURCE SEPARATED ORGANICS AFTER INOCULATION WITH EFFECTIVE MICROORGANISMS AND THE EFFECT ON COMPOST QUALITY.
(2015)A large volume of source-separated organics (SSO) are generated around the world and there are limited management strategies to reduce their effect on the environment. The volume of compost can be reduced through ... -
Evaluation of Sugar Biosynthetic Enzymes and Studies on Jadomycin Biosynthesis
(2019-01-15)Carbohydrates are ubiquitous in biological systems, possessing diversity in terms of both structure and function. Studies pertaining to bacterial enzymes that recognize and process carbohydrates in cell wall biosynthesis ... -
Evaluation Of Tasco® As A Candidate Prebiotic In Broiler Chickens
(2012-03-05)Tasco® made of sun dried brown seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum) by Acadian Seaplants Ltd., has displayed prebiotic like properties with ruminants and may be an alternative to antibiotic growth promoters. Tasco® was fed to ... -
Evaluation of the Community Balance and Mobility Scale in a cardiac rehabilitation population
(2013-12-16)Recent research indicates the need for a functional balance assessment in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs. One assessment technique that may be appropriate is the Community Balance and Mobility Scale (CBMS). The purpose ... -
EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS OF FEEDING MARINE ALGAE AND SEAWEEDS ON RUMINAL DIGESTION USING IN VITRO CONTINUOUS CULTURE FERMENTATION
(2011-07-08)Continuous culture fermentation (CCF) was used to test the hypotheses that: marine microalgae (MA) and macroalgae (seaweeds) alter rumen microbial metabolism; MA types differ in abilities to provide rumen escape n-3 ... -
An Evaluation of the Impact of Physician Education on Prescribing for Hypertension in a Nursing Home
