(2019-04-05)Global connectivity is affecting culture in the Canadian North. The Inuvialuit people of Canada’s Northwest Arctic have experienced a long history of contact with foreign cultures that has led to the homogenization, ... -
Living with the Volcano: Balancing Culture and Ecological Sensitivity with Tourism on São Miguel Island
(2024-04-14)The weaving of human presence between locals and tourists leaves imprints on the landscape, creating traces that impact the delicate ecological balance. Islands, such as São Miguel, embody fragile environments as their ... -
The Living Yard: Re-Making the Public Square for Community Identity
(2019-08-22)How do we design and develop in urban areas where we are witnessing the social impacts of gentrification? Through adaptive reuse, this thesis will investigate issues of the gentrification process in the North End of Halifax, ... -
Loan Pricing in Interest Rate Liberalization in China
(2020-08-31)In order to find how the process of interest rate liberalization influences the pricing strategy of dominant lenders in China’s loan market and their mark-up power, I establish a pricing model to examine the effect of level ... -
LOCAL AND REGIONAL DRIVERS OF OXYGEN VARIABILITY IN COASTAL EMBAYMENTS ON THE SOUTHWEST SCOTIAN SHELF: IMPLICATIONS FOR NOVA SCOTIA ATLANTIC SALMON (SALMO SALAR) FARMING
(2022-08-30)Globally, the coastal ocean is increasingly threatened by climate change-related stressors, such as ocean warming and deoxygenation. As a result, anthropogenic activities such as sea cage aquaculture, which often occurs ... -
Local and Remote Forcing of the Ocean by the Madden-Julian Oscillation and its Predictability
(2011-09-06)The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) is the dominant mode of intraseasonal variability in the tropical atmosphere and provides global predictability on timescales that bridge the gap between weather and climate. The influence ... -
LOCAL ANOMALY DETECTION IN MARITIME TRAFFIC USING VISUAL ANALYTICS
(2020-12-01)With the recent increase in sea transportation usage, the importance of maritime surveillance to detect unusual vessel behavior related to several illegal activities has also risen. Unfortunately, the data collected by ... -
Local Fast Reroute With Fine-Grained Monitoring and Priority-Aware Congestion Control
(2019-08-26)Communication links or nodes failure is common in Software-Defined Networking (SDN), which affect on-going communication and induces performance bottleneck. In SDN, protection-based recovery mechanisms pre-installs a ... -
Local IL-15-immunotherapy to treat melanoma
(2017-12-15)Intratumoural (i.t.) IL-2 is an effective treatment for cutaneous, metastatic melanoma. However, treating patients with high metastatic burden can be very challenging. Another common γ chain cytokine, IL-15, facilitates ... -
Local Methods for Document-Level Natural Language Processing
(2023-12-14)Given the recent rise in popularity of methods based on Deep Neural Networks inside Natural Language Processing (NLP), important progress has been made in a variety of tasks that was not possible before, given their ... -
Local Quantum Chemistry
(2012-09-11)The single-particle momentum is studied as a tool for the visualization of the electronic regions in atoms and molecules. The limiting values of this function correctly obey two fundamental theorems: Kato's cusp condition ... -
Local Stability Analysis of Hydrogen Bonding and Other Non-Covalent Interactions
(2014-12-11)Bader's quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) is used to evaluate local atomic stabilities in clusters of molecules. The total energy of a molecular system is decomposed into atomic contributions determined quantum ... -
