(2021-12-20)This thesis examines the impact of activity and mobility restrictions on business establishments, traffic, and emissions during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Halifax Regional Municipality. It initially investigates the ... -
Examining the influence of meteorological events on plankton dynamics in a coastal ecosystem (Lunenburg Bay, Canada)
(2011-06-06)Pelagic ecosystems are inherently complex in coastal inlets where they are controlled by physical processes and influenced by biogeochemical and foodweb interactions. Meteorological events are important drivers of this ... -
EXAMINING THE MECHANISMS AND KINETICS OF TRANSIENT LIQUID PHASE BONDING OF TITANIUM ALLOYS USING COPPER AND NICKEL FILLER METALS
(2019-11-05)Copper and nickel were examined as potential interlayers in transient liquid phase brazing (TLPB) of commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti) and Ti-6Al-4V. Experimental parameters were set such that the braze temperature was ... -
Examining the Mediators of Mental Health Improvement in Men with Localized Prostate Cancer: Self-Efficacy, Illness Perception, and Heart Rhythm Coherence in PC-PEP vs. Standard Care
(2024-04-14)Understanding how interventions reduce psychological distress in patients with prostate cancer (PC) is crucial for enhancing patient care. In a randomized controlled trial, 128 PC patients were assigned to either the 6-month ... -
EXAMINING THE PROGNOSTIC VALUE OF FRAILTY DETERMINED BY A MULTIDIMENSIONAL QUESTIONNAIRE, THE FRAILTY ASSESSMENT IN CARE-PLANNING TOOL (FACT), IN CARDIAC SURGERY
(2018-05-01)We assessed whether the Frailty in Care-Planning Tool (FACT) added discriminatory power to a standard cardiac surgery risk prediction model for mortality and major adverse cardiac events (MACE). To date, risk prediction ... -
Examining the Relationship between Aerobic Fitness and Cortical Excitability
(2017-09-05)Because of its ability to enhance cortical excitability, aerobic exercise is receiving interest as a primer for learning and rehabilitation. Previous studies show that physical activity level influences the brain s response ... -
Examining the Relationship between Empathy and Compassion Fatigue and Compassion Satisfaction in Pediatric Nurses
(2016-08-15)Secondary traumatic stress (STS) and burnout (BO) are natural consequences of exposure to the suffering of others. Nurses have frequent exposure to such suffering. Empathy is thought to play a role in the development of ... -

(2018-02-20)Background: Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) patients undergo painful procedures that if undertreated impact their recovery and development. Evidence based practice, suggests parent participation in neonatal care, ... -
Examining the Relationship Between Traumatic Brain Injury and Substance Use and Mental Health Outcomes in the Canadian Population
(2013-09-06)This thesis examines the associations between substance use/ misuse and mental health outcomes among Canadians with a Traumatic Brain injury (TBI). Its primary aim is to explore whether or not individuals with a TBI have ... -
EXAMINING THE ROLE OF THE INFERIOR PARIETAL LOBE IN MOTOR IMAGERY
(2023-08-21)The neural activity underlying motor imagery (MI), the mental rehearsal of movement, consistently involves the inferior parietal lobe (IPL). This activity pattern led to the belief that MI is biased towards the perceptual ... -
Examining the Simple and Complex Mismatch Negativity in Early Phase Psychosis
(2022-08-24)Background: Using electroencephalography (EEG) to examine the simple mismatch negativity (MMN), a marker of auditory cortex function, has been of great interest in the exploration of biomarkers for psychotic illness. Despite ... -
Examining the variables which influence strong cation exchange of peptides, and their implications on the first dimension of separation in liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry
(2018-08-31)Orthogonal separations are often employed to improve the capacity of mass spectrometry for proteome analysis. The gold standard of orthogonal peptide-level separation utilises strong cation exchange (SCX) coupled to reversed ... -
Exceptions and Contingencies Handling in a SCADA System
(2011-05-02)The use of rollback is a fundamental flaw in some existing distributed control systems because the advance in time and in external world situations means that what had been a correct state in the past may no longer be a ... -
Excess of the Minimum: Revisiting Existenzminimum Through Crossprogramming in Halifax
(2017-08-21)In response to a growing trend of single-occupancy living in Western societies amidst social situations that can be isolating (i.e. aging of the population, prolongation of early adult years, immigration), this thesis ... -
Excess Pressure and Reservoir Compartmentalization in the Sable Subbasin, Offshore Nova Scotia
(2016-05-26)In the Sable Subbasin, fluid pressures have been observed in Jurassic and Early Cretaceous reservoirs in over 200 wells and increase with depth in unexpected increments from hydrostatic to excess pressured. In this study, ... -
The exchange of inorganic carbon on the Canadian Beaufort Shelf
(2017-06-30)The Mackenzie Shelf in the southeastern Beaufort Sea is a region that has experienced large changes in the past several decades as warming, sea-ice loss, and increased river discharge have altered carbon cycling. Upwelling ... -
