Localizing Rural Acadian Identities: Social and Ethnic Reproduction in Pomquet, Nova Scotia
(2022-04-14)This dissertation is an ethnographic study detailing how ethnic identities are reproduced in Pomquet, a rural Acadian community in Eastern Nova Scotia. At the turn of the twentieth century, the Acadian nationalist project ... -
LOCATING SHAMBHALA: A PILGRIMAGE COMPLEX FOR KALAPA VALLEY IN THE HIGHLANDS OF CAPE BRETON, NOVA SCOTIA
(2015-04-06)This thesis explores the relationship between landscape, sacred space and dwelling in the non-theistic spiritual tradition of Shambhala. Through the design of a pilgrimage complex for Kalapa Valley in the Cape Breton ... -
"Lock Up Your Sons": Queering Young Adult Literature and Social Discourse
(2012-08-24)Young adult literature (YA) has been stereotypical in many of its portrayals of LGBTQ teens from the 1960s to the early 2000s, but three contemporary YA series--Cassandra Clare's The Mortal Instruments, Sarah Rees Brennan's ... -
LOCOMOTION CHARACTERIZATION OF DCC AND NCK2 MUTANT MICE
(2019-01-15)ABSTRACT Transmembrane receptor protein DCC (deleted in colorectal cancer) and its intracellular binding partner Nck (non-catalytic tyrosine kinase adaptor protein) are both important in spinal locomotor network formation. ... -
Locomotor behaviour, emotionality, and cognition in the 3xTg-AD mouse model of Alzheimer's disease: A cross-sectional study
(2013-06-28)The triple transgenic (3xTg-AD) mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) possesses three transgenes that lead to the development of amyloid-beta (A?) plaques (APPswe, PS1M146V) and neurofibrillary tangles (and tauP301L) ... -
Locomotor Compensation for Severe Motor Neuron Loss during Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Disease Progression
(2018-01-05)Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) causes progressive motor neuron (MN) degeneration leading to muscle weakness, paralysis, and eventually death. When symptoms are detected in ALS patients and model animals (SOD1G93A mice) ... -
Logos in Plato's Theaetetus and Sophist
(2011-09-06)This thesis will explore the epistemological and ontological content of logos as it appears in Plato's Theaetetus and Sophist. As a tether between the realms being and becoming, logos occupies the dianoetic space in which ... -
LONG CHAIN-POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACID SYNTHESIS IN THE MUSCLE AND LIVER OF LANDLOCKED AND SAINT JOHN RIVER ATLANTIC SALMON FED A FISH OIL-FREE DIET
(2022-12-14)The first trial compared tissue omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3 LC-PUFA) content between the landlocked Grand Lake strain (GL) and the farmed Saint John River (SJR) strain. After 16 weeks, GL and SJR ... -
Long Range Underwater Navigation using Gravity-Based Measurements
(2020-04-30)The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate feasibility of a gravity-based system for long range underwater localization. Such a system is demonstrated, in simulations, with the use of particle filter-based localization and ... -
A long run theory of effective demand: Modelling macroeconomic systems with hysteresis.
(Dalhousie University, 1992) -
Long-Range Gravity-Aided Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Navigation
(2022-04-12)Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) are a mobile platform for underwater sensing, an environment relatively unexplored. Georeferencing measurements is difficult due to the challenge of AUV localization. The rapid attenuation ... -
LONG-TERM EVIDENCE THAT PRECOCIOUS PARR CAN SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE EFFECTIVE SIZE OF A POPULATION OF ATLANTIC SALMON (SALMO SALAR)
(2012-08-22)I describe temporal changes in the genetic composition of a small anadromous Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) population from South Newfoundland, an area where salmon populations are considered as Threatened (COSEWIC 2010). ... -
The Long-term Pelvic Floor Health Outcomes of Women after Childbirth: The Influence of Labour in the First Pregnancy
(2015)Introduction: Labour and/or vaginal delivery may have long-term pelvic floor health consequences. The purpose of this study was to estimate the influence of type of labour and pregnancy factors on these outcomes. Methods: ... -
LONG-TERM RESPONSES OF CHIRONOMIDS TO HUMAN SETTLEMENT
(2022-04-12)Anthropogenic stress has altered the ecological integrity of freshwater lakes for millennia. This remains a confounding factor when examining ecological changes prior to human records. Freshwater management attempts to ... -
Long-term trends in mountain groundwater levels in Canada and the United States
(2023-11-14)Mountains are vitally important for global water supply, yet little is known about how mountain groundwater is being impacted by climate change. This research aims to quantify trends in mountain groundwater levels and ... -
Long-term trends in the age and size structure of marine fishes
(2020-08-24)The phenotypic plasticity of marine fishes can generate demographic changes in response to harvesting, the environment, and interspecific interactions. Shifts in age and size can affect metrics of population viability ... -
Longitudinal Analysis of Retinal Perfusion in Mice Following Acute Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury
(2023-04-20)Background and Purpose Retinal ischemia is a common pathology in many vision-threatening diseases. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a non-invasive imaging technique that provides images of microvasculature ... -
A Longitudinal Examination of Collective Efficacy Dispersion Patterns in Sport Teams
(2020-08-27)Collective efficacy is the belief in a team’s ability to perform a task. Team members hold individual collective efficacy beliefs, which likely causes differing efficacy beliefs (dispersion) among teammates. Purpose: The ... -
Longitudinal Modelling of Households’ Vehicle Transaction and Type Choice Decisions
(2015)Longitudinal modelling of vehicle ownership is limited in the literature of ownership models. Temporal variation of households’ long-term vehicle ownership decisions can be modelled by considering longitudinal information ... -
