COMPUTATIONAL MODELING OF PREFRONTAL-HIPPOCAMPAL INTERACTIONS IN VERBAL MNEMONIC DISCRIMINATION
(2023-11-30)
Background: Mnemonic Discrimination, the ability to distinguish between highly similar memories is impaired in people with various neuropsychiatric disorders. While hippocampus and prefrontal cortex are attributed to perform ...
Learning Optical Flow with Auxiliary Cost Aggregation
(2023-11-30)
Optical flow represents motions for each pixel between two adjacent frames in a video sequence. Deep learning-based estimation approaches for optical flow have overshadowed the variational approaches over the past few ...
Using observations and model simulations to characterize the effects of lateral intrusion events in Bedford Basin
(2023-12-01)
The renewal of deep water in Bedford Basin (BB) is vital for its ventilation. The main ventilation mechanisms are winter convention and lateral intrusion events. However, a characterization of intrusion events has not yet ...
Advances in Nickel-Catalyzed C–O Cross-Coupling Reactions Enabled by Ancillary Ligand Design
(2023-12-04)
The ubiquity of C(sp2)–N and C(sp2)–O linkages in active pharmaceutical ingredients, agrochemicals, and other biologically active compounds generates motivation for developing effective avenues for the formation of such ...
A NEW PLATFORM FOR SEXUALIZED VIOLENCE: A FEMINIST ANALYSIS OF WOMEN’S DATING APP EXPERIENCES
(2023-12-04)
The high rate of sexualized violence against women poses an urgent social issue and significant
human rights problem. While not new for women, the proliferation of modern technology,
particularly the surge in online ...
Effectiveness of Marine Species at Risk Conservation within the UNEP Regional Seas Programme: Taking Stock and Charting Future Courses
(2023-12-06)
The impending biodiversity crises demands urgent, effective action. The transboundary nature of many marine species at risk makes international law a necessary tool in this endeavour. The United Nations Environment Programme ...
Sound the Siren: Exploring the Relationship Between the Occupational Environment and Mental Health and Well-Being of Volunteer Firefighters in Rural Nova Scotia
(2023-12-07)
Volunteer firefighters provide critical emergency response services in rural communities across Nova Scotia. They face unique challenges and are at an increased risk for mental health issues. This study’s purpose was to ...
Concentration and characterization of microplastics in Blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) and Eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) from Nova Scotia
(2023-12-06)
Microplastics (MPs) (<5 mm) have become an increasingly global concern due to their potential to impact both human health and the environment. This research explored the occurrence of microplastics in Blue mussels (Mytilus ...
Counting All the Imaginary Fish and More
(2023-12-05)
Avoiding overexploitation of marine resources requires being able to accurately estimate the size and health of a population. This thesis presents methods that improve upon existing fisheries stock assessment methods. ...
Investigating Microbial Nitrogen Cycling in the Northwest Arm, Halifax Harbour and in Wastewater Treatment Facilities Using Natural Abundance Stable Isotopes in Nitrate, Nitrite, and Ammonium.
(2023-12-06)
Using a 3-year time series of concentrations of nitrate, nitrite and ammonium and natural abundance stable isotopes in nitrate, this project identifies seasonal trends and major sources of fixed nitrogen to the Northwest ...
