Life Course Community: A Senior-centric Approach to an Inclusive Urban Development
(2019-08-02)This thesis challenges society’s current attitude towards aging by proposing a senior-centric approach to community design – a Life Course Community. This planning strategy supports people so they may age-in-place and ... -
A Life Cycle Assessment and Techno-economic Analysis of a Corn Ethanol Bio-Refinery in Comparison to a Novel Bio-refinery
(2020-12-22)A life cycle assessment and economic analysis of a dry-mill corn-ethanol facility was completed and compared to a novel bio-refinery. The novel facility is able to avoid additional energy intensive treatment through anaerobic ... -
LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT OF A NOVEL BIOREFINERY FOR SOLID ORGANIC WASTE IN HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA
(2022-08-30)In this study, a novel biorefinery process is proposed for municipal solid organic waste. Source Separated Organics (SSO), Mechanically Separated Organic Fractions (MSOF) of garbage, and dewatered sewage sludge are considered ... -
Life Cycle Assessment of Marine Coatings
(2022-04-22)In this thesis I present two unique studies to capture the environmental performance of a new marine coating, XGIT-Fuel. A small-scale fishing boat study was analyzed and a relationship between the hull condition of the ... -
Life Cycle Assessment of Organic Canadian Prairie Field Crop Systems: Oats, Rye, and Wheat
(2022-12-15)Organic farming is a rapidly growing agricultural sub-sector in Canada that many look to as a means to lower resource use and environmental impacts of food systems. In this thesis, life cycle assessment (LCA) is coupled ... -
LIFE HISTORY CONSEQUENCES OF OCEAN WARMING AND EXPLOITATION IN NORTHWEST ATLANTIC HERRING (CLUPEA HARENGUS)
(2022-02-24)Explaining the mechanisms that generate and maintain intraspecific variation in life histories – the manners in which organisms acquire and allocate resources to growth, reproduction, and survival – is a fundamental goal ... -
Life history variability in maturity and the influence of environment in Atlantic Salmon, Salmo salar, and Bullethead Parrotfish, Chlorurus sordidus and C. spilurus, under climate change
(2021-12-20)Life history transitions are periods between lifecycle stages defined by physiological, morphological, or spatial change. By assessing the timing of transitions, we increase our understanding of the trade-offs in traits ... -
