HYDRODYNAMIC FORCING AND EROSION DYNAMICS ON TWO SMALL ISLANDS OFF THE NORTH SHORE OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND: A BASELINE ASSESSMENT
(2022-06-28)The global mean sea level (GMSL) is currently rising and continues to accelerate, in large part due to thermal expansion and a loss in land-ice mass, making low-lying coastal communities and small islands vulnerable to ... -
Hydrodynamics and the ecology of suspension-feeding benthos.
(Dalhousie University, 1986) -
Hydrogen supersaturations in the North and South Atlantic - a possible indicator of nitrogen fixation.
(2012-10-30)It has been demonstrated that nitrogen fixation is a source of hydrogen (H2) to the ocean and therefore measurements of H2 concentrations may be used as a possible indicator of nitrogen fixation (Moore, Punshon, Mahaffey, ... -
Hydrogeological Investigation of a Passive Wastewater Treatment System in a Thawing Permafrost Landscape
(2024-04-04)The future performance of passive wastewater treatment systems, ubiquitous throughout arctic and sub-arctic communities, raises concerns due to permafrost thaw and increased groundwater activity. In turn, these communities ... -
Hydrologic and Microbial Risk Characterization of an Arctic Wetland Treatment Area
(2021-08-11)This study focused on the hydrologic characterization and microbial risk associated with a passive wastewater treatment wetland in Qamani’tuaq (Baker Lake), Nunavut. Site-specific field data was utilized in conjunction ... -
HYDROLOGIC ASSESSMENT OF A SMALL MARITIME HYDROMETRIC MONITORING NETWORK USING A PROCESS-GUIDED CATCHMENT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
(2020-09-02)The National Hydrometric Program, operated by the Water Survey of Canada, is the primary source of surface water quantity data in Canada. The network is cost-shared between the federal and provincial governments, and ... -
Hydrological Restoration of a Drained Peatland
(2021-08-09)The historical drainage activities in Big Meadow Bog on Brier Island, Nova Scotia have altered the hydrologic regime and physical characteristics of the wetland complex. The high ecological value of BMB, due to populations ... -
A HYDROPONIC APPROACH TO EVALUATE RESPONSES TO NUTRIENTS AND PHYTOHORMONES IN COTTON PLANTS (Gossypium hirsutum L.) GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT
(2014-02-25)Cotton plant growth and development, as well as monitoring nutrient use efficiency were evaluated using hydroponic approach. Two set of experiments were conducted to determine the influence of phosphorus (P), potassium (K) ... -
Hydrothermal Carbonization (HTC) of Marine Seaweed (Macroalgae) for Producing Hydro-Char
(2019-09-03)This work attempts to address environmental issues due to waste seaweed, by producing a coal-like solid hydro-char) and nutritious processed water, by employing a rather recent process called Hydrothermal Carbonization ... -
Hydrothermal Liquefaction of Biomass and Process Intensification
(2019-08-13)Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is considered as a promising thermochemical conversion technology for biomass valorization and crude bio-oil (biocrude) production. However, moving this technology towards commercialization ... -
Hydrothermal liquefaction of spent coffee grounds for crude bio-oil production
(2016-05-02)The extensive use of fossil fuels has intensified the energy crisis over the recent years and caused series of environmental issues. Biofuels are renewable and carbon-neutral, thus have gained increasing attention and are ... -
The Hygroscopicity Parameter of Marine Organics in Sea Spray Aerosols
(2017-02-09)Atmospheric aerosols have important implications on Earth’s radiation budget by scattering and absorbing incoming solar radiation either directly or indirectly through cloud processes. Aerosols have a net cooling effect ... -
Hyperspectral Radiometer and Ultraviolet Spectrometer Design
(2016-08-24)Satlantic is currently developing a new hyperspectral radiometer for measuring spectral radiance in the ocean. This project includes the development of optical, mechanical, electronic, embedded firmware and software ... -
A Hypothesis on Banking and Democracy: Explaining Changes in Ukraine's Political Regime
(2020-12-14)Analysts have long attempted to explain the patterns of change in the quality of post-Soviet political regimes, but few systematic inquiries exist on the matter. In this thesis, I present a new account of such patterns of ... -
"I am not I": Late Modernism and Metafiction in Canadian Fiction
(2012-08-24)This dissertation argues that a number of works of Canadian fiction usually designated as modernist fit more properly into the category of “late modernism”: a category that has only recently begun to emerge as a bridge ... -
'I Can Be So Much More Than I Think of Myself': Girls' Sport Participation and Discourses of Power and Agency in Windhoek, Namibia
(2010-09-15)This study explores the impact of sport on the lives of 15-19 year old female participants in the Physically Active Youth program in Namibia by examining how they reinforce or resist dominant gender discourses in their ... -
I CAN’T GET NO SATISFACTION: THE EFFECT OF THE QUEBEC PARENTAL INSURANCE PLAN ON PARENTS’ OVERALL LIFE SATISFACTION
(2019-08-30)Despite the rising labour force participation rates of women and the gender wage gap closing, women are still more likely to take leave following the birth of a child. To promote fathers’ participation in parental leave, ... -
