INSIGHTS INTO THE INTERACTIVE EFFECTS OF TEMPERATURE AND IRON ON SOUTHERN OCEAN PHYTOPLANKTON
(2023-08-28)The photosynthetic conversion of CO2 into organic matter by phytoplankton sustains marine food webs, influences the long-term burial of atmospheric carbon, and underpins many other critical Earth system processes. Seasonal ... -
Insights into the Origin of the CNS: Early Development of Aminergic Neurons in Molluscs
(2022-04-29)Advances in molecular approaches over the last few decades have offered new insights into animal phylogeny, revitalizing discussions on the origin of the central nervous system (CNS). Evidence of conserved developmental ... -
INSIGHTS INTO THE ROLE OF COMPLEMENT DURING INTESTINAL INFLAMMATION
(2016-09-12)Complement is arguably the most ancient and effective innate defensesystemthat can also promote pathogenesis in multiple disorders. The focus of this study was to understand the impact of complement in diseases of the ... -
INSIGHTS INTO THE ROLE OF INFLAMMATION IN COLITIS-ASSOCIATED CANCER: TARGETING TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR RECEPTORS
(2011-12-20)Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are associated with an elevated risk of colorectal cancer that increases with disease duration and severity. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a major therapeutic target in IBD, but long-term ... -
Instability Thresholds and Dynamics of Mesa Patterns in Reaction-Diffusion Systems
(2011-08-26)We consider reaction-diffusion systems of two variables with Neumann boundary conditions on a finite interval with diffusion rates of different orders. Solutions of these systems can exhibit a variety of patterns and ... -
Instant Indigenous communities
(1998)This thesis aims to explore issues of relocation, myth, and the cultural particularities of habitable space. These ideas are explored and tested through two community design projects, both consisting of cohesive migrations ... -
INSTRUMENTAL AND REACTIVE VIOLENCE: THE ROLE OF MENTAL HEALTH FACTORS AND MALTREATMENT HISTORY IN THE MANIFESTATION OF VIOLENT OFFENDING
(2010-05-21)Researchers have consistently identified two distinct types of aggression: A “hot-blooded”, impulsive, reactive form of aggression, and a “cold-blooded”, premeditated, instrumental form of aggression. Despite the relevance ... -
Instrumental Architecture: Investigating the Live Music Venue as a Process of Gathering along the Halifax Waterfront
(2020-04-13)This thesis aims to connect live music, people, and place in Halifax by approaching the live music venue as a process of gathering. This strategy builds upon Christopher Small’s concept of ‘Musicking’ by approaching the ... -

Insurance And Risk Related Equine Study In Eastern Halifax Regional Halifax Municipality
(2012-08-24)On June 13, 2008 a forest fire affected Eastern Halifax Regional Municipality leading to the evacuation of five hundred homes and eighteen horse facilities. At the time of the June 2008 forest fire not all horses in Nova ... -
THE INTEGER-VALUED POLYNOMIALS ON LUCAS NUMBERS
(2017-08-28)An integer-valued polynomial on a subset, S, of the set of integers, Z, is a polynomial f(x) 2 Q[x] such that f(S) Z. The collection, Int(S;Z), of such integer-valued polynomials forms a ring with many interesting ... -
Integral Architecture: Social Infrastructure for a Gentrifying Neighbourhood
(2017-04-11)We are in a transition period in the growth of American cities. The urban is re-centralizing, rejuvenating old downtowns, and gentrifying previously neglected inner city neighbourhoods. In Canada, gentrification has been ... -
AN INTEGRATED APPROACH FOR AUTHENTICATION AND ACCESS CONTROL WITH SMARTPHONES
(2016-12-05)With the enhancement in technology, people are relying more on mobile devices for accessing social media sites, online shopping or financial transactions. These devices are smart but the methods of authentication are ... -
An Integrated Biorefinery for Anaerobic Digestion of Thin Stillage and Microalgae Cultivation for Nutrient Recycling, Bioenergy and Bioproduct Production
(2019-08-29)Corn grain is one of the main sources for bioethanol production. However, corn bioethanol plants consume a significant amount of energy and water, compete with the food supply chain and may lead to eutrophication as the ... -
Integrated Coagulation-Adsorption Dissolved Air Flotation Treatment for Oily Wastewater
(2015)Produced water is the largest wastewater stream generated by the petroleum industry, and contains a range of petroleum hydrocarbons in free, dispersed and dissolved form. In the offshore environment, produced water management ... -

An integrated epidemiological supply chain management approach for the COVID-19 vaccine distribution and allocation problem
(2023-08-28)This thesis proposes an integrated model for vaccine distribution and allocation that combines an SEIR compartmental model with a transhipment model. Given the NP-hardness of the problem, eight solution methods are explored ... -
Integrated Lithostratigraphic, Formation and Structural Evaluation of the Migrant Structure, Sable Subbasin, Offshore Nova Scotia.
(2021-04-12)Well data and 3D seismic are integrated to investigate the impact of sand-on-sand juxtaposition across a crestal fault in the Migrant Structure previously missed in 2D seismic. Pressure and petrophysical analysis of well ... -
An Integrated Modeling Approach for Evaluation of Phosphorus Loading in Rural Nova Scotia Watersheds
(2014-01-27)Residential on-site wastewater systems (OWS) are a potential source of phosphorus (P) which can negatively impact surface water quality in rural watersheds. The magnitude of P loading from OWS is typically not monitored, ...
