On measurably indexed families of Hilbert spaces.
(Dalhousie University, 1992) -
On Models for Detecting Evidence of Molecular Adaptation in Homologous Sequences of Protein Coding Genes
(2019-08-30)Codon substitution models (CSMs) are commonly fitted to alignments of homologous protein-coding sequences with the objective of determining whether sites in the gene underwent positive selection. Under the standard paradigm ... -
On Network Reliability
(2013-06-24)The all terminal reliability of a graph G is the probability that at least a spanning tree is operational, given that vertices are always operational and edges independently operate with probability p in [0,1]. In this ... -
On Northern Hemisphere climate change and variability during the last half of the 20th century.
(Dalhousie University, 2004) -
On simplified predictive control via IP networks.
(Dalhousie University, 2006) -
On Sustainable Supply Chains: Optimal Design of a Multimodal Logistics Network with Shipment Consolidation, Stochastic Demand, and Machine Learning
(2022-08-15)In this thesis, we consider the logistics network of a multi-echelon multimodal supply chain with multiple products and components taking economic and environmental sustainability, and shipment consolidation into consideration. ... -
On the "Poverty of Responsibility": A Study of the History of Child Protection Law and Jurisprudence in Nova Scotia
(2015)This thesis presents a history of child protection law and jurisprudence in Nova Scotia. The thesis begins by examining the development of the first child protection statute in Canada, the Nova Scotia Prevention and ... -
On the algebraic connectivity of graphs
(2022-04-29)Algebraic connectivity, or the second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix, is a well-studied parameter in spectral graph theory. In this thesis, we present new upper bounds and asymptotic estimates for the algebraic ... -
ON THE APPLICATION AND COMPARISON OF CONDITION-BASED MAINTENANCE PROGNOSTICS APPROACHES: LOGICAL ANALYSIS OF DATA, ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS, AND PROPORTIONAL HAZARDS MODELS
(2016-08-29)Condition-based maintenance (CBM) is becoming increasingly important because it performs more efficient diagnoses and prognoses based on equipment condition compared to time-based methods. CBM models greatly inform maintenance ... -
On the combinatorics of resolutions of monomial ideals
(2015)In this thesis, we investigate the relation between invariants of minimal free resolutions of monomial ideals and combinatorial properties of simplicial complexes. We provide a sufficient combinatorial condition for monomial ... -
On the Degree Polynomial of Graphs
(2023-07-28)Graph polynomials encode graph theoretic information in the form of polynomials. These polynomials have been of interest for decades, for both graph theoretic insight and their mathematical properties. This thesis discusses ... -
On the development and evolution of cartilage within non-chordate metazoa.
(Dalhousie University, 2004) -
ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF SMALL FORM FACTOR HISTOTRIPSY DEVICES FOR NEUROSURGICAL APPLICATIONS AND SMALL ANIMAL EXPERIMENTS
(2022-05-12)The development of surgical instruments is a growing area where histotripsy is relatively under represented. This work focuses on the miniaturization of histotripsy devices for introduction into the neurosurgery, cardiac, ... -
ON THE DYNAMICS OF SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS AND VOCAL COMMUNICATION BETWEEN INDIVIDUALS AND SOCIAL UNITS OF SPERM WHALES
(2012-12-17)Within-population behavioural variation can greatly affect the ecology of a species and the outcome of evolutionary processes. This study aimed to determine how variable sperm whale social and vocal behaviour is between ... -
On the entire cyclic cohomology of Banach algebras.
(Dalhousie University, 1991) -
On the estimation of return periods from short sea level records.
(Dalhousie University, 1993) -
On the heterogeneity of negative priming effects.
(Dalhousie University, 2003) -
On the Importance of the Study of Past Connectivity to Understand Present and Future Patterns in a Freshwater Fish
(2018-08-13)Conceptually, in evolution, the variable “time” is fundamental. Extant populations are the result of long- and short-term historical processes affecting them through time. Populations in areas near the poles have been ... -
On the influence of private stakeholders in the governance of international tuna fisheries
(2021-08-09)Twenty-three populations of tuna are globally distributed across national waters and the high seas. These fish are caught by hundreds of fishing fleets, which operate in a complex governance system, influenced by national ... -
On the information processing dynamics of inhibition of return.
(Dalhousie University, 2003)
