Geographical Epidemiology of Health and Deprivation: a Population-Based, Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Health and Social Inequality in Nova Scotia, Canada
(2011-05-02)Narrowing the gap in health inequality is vital not only from an equity point of view but also from an economic cost point of view. Small-area level investigations of health inequalities can play an important role in this ... -
The Geography of Trauma in Nova Scotia
(2018-09-28)Injury is a leading contributor to Canada's disease burden, accounting for over 15.000 deaths annually. Patients who receive care in designated trauma centres (TCs) have been shown to have a lower risk of trauma-related ... -
Geology, geochronology, and tectonic evolution of the Brookville terrane, southern New Brunswick.
(Dalhousie University, 1996) -
Geology, geochronology, and tectonic significance of the Blair River inlier, northern Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia.
(Dalhousie University, 1997) -
Geometric Embedding of Graphs and Random Graphs
(2016-08-26)In a spatial graph model, vertices are embedded in a metric space, and the link probability between two vertices depends on this embedding in such a way that vertices that are closer together in the metric space are more ... -
Geometric Horizons in the Szekeres Spacetime
(2020-10-14)A new conjecture for geometric horizons has been introduced which may provide a potential alternative to using apparent horizons and related surfaces for analyzing the dynamics of black hole spacetimes. In particular, ... -
A Geometric Study of Superintegrable Systems
(2012-08-28)Superintegrable systems are classical and quantum Hamiltonian systems which enjoy much symmetry and structure that permit their solubility via analytic and even, algebraic means. The problem of classification of superintegrable ... -
Geometry and composition of ice banks in a macrotidal channel
(2013-05-30)Large ice blocks containing enough sediment to be denser than sea water form in the Minas Basin of the Bay of Fundy. The timing of ice block formation and ice block composition were monitored to improve understanding of ... -
Geophysical Character of the Mohican Channel Gas Hydrate, Nova Scotia, Eastern Canada
(2014-09-19)Bottom simulating reflections (BSRs) attributed to gas hydrates occur worldwide and were first formally recognised on the eastern Canadian continental margin by Mosher et al. (2004). The objectives of this study are to 1) ... -
Geophysical Fingerprints of Exhumed Serpentinized Mantle Domains at The Ultraslow-Spreading Southwest Indian Ridge
(2023-07-10)Ultraslow-spreading oceanic ridges (< 20 mm/yr) comprise ~35% of the global mid-ocean ridge system, yet their lithospheric structure and accretionary process are still little understood. At these ridges, the interplay ... -
GEOREFERENCED TREES AND THE PHYLOGENETIC SIMILARITY OF BIOLOGICAL COMMUNITIES
(2012-08-10)Culture-independent DNA sequencing is being used to recover genetic material directly from environmental samples. This has spurred large-scale community efforts to catalogue the diversity of life and its geographic ... -
GEOs and Gender: GEOs and What They Mean for Women Farmers in Kenya
(2015)Kenya is on the brink of becoming the fourth African nation to commercialize genetically engineered organisms (GEOs). The Water Efficient Maize for Africa (WEMA) program is expected to publicly release a variety of drought ... -
Geotechnical Resistance Factors for Ultimate Limit State Design of Deep Foundations Under Axial Compression Loading
(2010-04-20)For many years, engineers have designed foundations, walls and culverts for highway and other geotechnical applications using allowable stress design (ASD) methods. In ASD, all uncertainties in the load and resistance ... -
GestAnnot: A Paper Annotation Tool for Tablet
(2013-12-23)Active Reading is an important part of a knowledge worker’s activities; it involves highlighting, writing notes, marking with symbols, etc., on a document. Many Active Reading applications have been designed in seeking to ... -
GET REAL(ISM): EVOLUTIONARY DEBUNKING ARGUMENTS AND MORAL REALISM
(2013-08-26)Genealogical arguments which aim to undermine some aspect of ethics by referring to its supposed evolutionary origin have become both more common and more philosophically substantive in recent years. In this thesis, I ... -
Get your ears dancing: Evaluation of a novel training paradigm for posterior auricular muscle contraction in response to auditory stimuli
(2024-04-08)A novel auditory auricular myogenic training paradigm was developed. Ten participants underwent 5 training sessions comprised of a facilitation and skill acquisition phase. Through tones-in-noise tasks and coordinate ...
