PALEOLIMNOLOGY AS A QUANTITATIVE INDICATOR OF ECOSYSTEM VULNERABILITY
(2021-08-20)External stressors to freshwater systems present challenges for management. Stress can exacerbate ecosystem vulnerability, which is a result of numerous components, making quantifying vulnerability logistically difficult. ... -
A Palimpsest Design Approach to Adaptive Reuse of Gas Stations
(2023-04-14)Buildings are designed for social demands, but social demands change faster than our buildings can adapt, leading to a repeating cycle of construction and demolition. This cycle causes not only negative environmental impacts ... -
PALLADIUM-CATALYZED AMINE SYNTHESIS: CHEMOSELECTIVITY AND REACTIVITY UNDER AQUEOUS CONDITIONS
(2012-04-26)The palladium-mediated cross-coupling of aryl electrophiles and amines (Buchwald-Hartwig amination) has become a widely used method of constructing arylamine frameworks. A crucial aspect of the advancement of this chemistry ... -
PALLIATIVE SUPPORT BY EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES FOR PERSONS AT THE END OF LIFE: A POPULATION BASED ANALYSIS OF NEED
(2015-04-02)Emergency Medical Services (EMS) are often involved in providing care to individuals at the end of life. Despite this, the development of EMS palliative support has been limited. This thesis utilized a linked administrative ... -
PAN-CANCER GENOMIC PROFILING IDENTIFIES NOVEL BREAST CANCER TARGETS AMONG LONG NON-CODING RNAS
(2023-08-31)Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women, representing a significant health challenge as a quarter of patients eventually succumb to the disease. The identification of novel therapeutic targets is thus critical ... -
A panel-free method for time-domain analysis of floating bodies in waves.
(Dalhousie University, 2001) -
The Parallel and the Perpendicular: Reconnecting Calgarians to the Bow River
(2015)The rapid population growth in Calgary since the oil drilling boom of the 1970s has led to a diversification of Calgarians in terms of ethnicity. socio-economic status, and age. Without any unifying public spaces, the city ... -
A parallel collocation method for two dimensional linear parabolic separable partial differential equations.
(Dalhousie University, 1994) -
The Parallel Encoding of Actions Within a Sequential Grasping Task: Strategic, Motor, or Perceptual Interference Effects
(2022-11-18)Every day we are constantly performing consecutive grasping actions to complete our desired goals. Although we have a good scientific understanding about how the brain programs one grasping action towards a single object, ... -

Paramedic Clinical Decision Making
(BMC Emergency Medicine, 2009-09-21)Paramedics are responsible for the care of patients requiring emergency assistance in the out of hospital setting. These health care providers need to make many decisions during the course of an emergency call. This thesis ... -
Parameter Estimation for Nonlinear State Space Models
(2012-04-24)This thesis explores the methodology of state, and in particular, parameter estimation for time series datasets. Various approaches are investigated that are suitable for nonlinear models and non-Gaussian observations ... -
Parameter, State and Uncertainty Estimation for 3-dimensional Biological Ocean Models
(2012-08-23)Realistic physical-biological ocean models pose challenges to statistical techniques due to their complexity, nonlinearity and high dimensionality. In this thesis, statistical data assimilation techniques for parameter and ... -

(Dalhousie University, 2004) -
PARAMETRIC ANALYSIS OF THE SHOCK RESPONSE OF A SYSTEM OF TWO SUBMERGED CO-AXIAL CYLINDRICAL SHELLS COUPLED BY THE INTER-SHELL FLUID
(2015)A semi-analytical methodology based on classical mathematical physics is used to simulate the shock response of a submerged system consisting of two co-axial cylindrical shells coupled with a fluid filling the inter-shell ... -
PARAMETRIC AND NON-PARAMETRIC ANALYSIS OF COMPETING RISKS MODELS
(2020-04-13)Competing risks refers to the phenomenon where an object or individual is subject to multiple risks that are competing to destroy the object or individual, where the occurrence of one of these risks precludes the occurrence ... -
Parent and Early Childhood Educator Perceptions of Physical Health and Well-being in the Early Years
(2019-08-07)Early childhood development is a determinant of health. Parents and early childhood educators (ECEs) have an important role in influencing development during this timeframe. The Early Development Instrument (EDI) is widely ... -
PARENT/CAREGIVER INVOLVEMENT TO MANAGE PAIN IN CHILDREN WITH ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA
(2015)Children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia experience pain from the disease, treatment and procedures. Parents can be effective in managing their child’s pain but little is known about how they learn to do this. This ...
