The Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is arguably the most tonal section of the reports provided to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. As part of that dialogue, companies use non-standardized financial ... -
Global Animal Law and International Trade Law After EC-Seal Products: An Interactional Analysis
This thesis is a case study of the formation of new norms in international law. The norms are those that concern animal protection. The thesis argues that international trade law is playing a part in the development of ... -
Disaster Preparedness and Response in Cuba: The Impact of Solidarity on Disaster Management
This thesis examines Cuba’s disaster response and preparedness measures. The central research question asks: Is Cuba’s disaster management model effective in protecting and enhancing the livelihoods of its citizens? Following ... -
Advocating for Natural Resources: Empowering the Riverine Communities of the Amazon through Landscape Architecture
Cultural identity in the Amazon region has been destabilized by tensions between tradition and progress. This architectural thesis explores a contested landscape that both balances and revalues nature. The riverine people ... -
The Power of Participation: How Can Community Partners Sustain the Halifax Mobile Food Market?
Mobile Food Markets (MFMs) are innovative interventions which can support healthy eating within lower-income communities. MFMs enhance food security by increasing access to healthy food by alleviating travel costs in areas ... -
The Role of BASP1 in Neural Development
BASP1 (brain acid soluble protein 1) is highly expressed in the nervous system throughout development. While its roles at the neuromuscular junction and in certain non-neuronal tissues have been previously characterized, ... -
A Call for Humility: Human Supremacy Through a Biological Lens
This thesis draws on contemporary biology, in particular evolutionary theorizing, to challenge a particular camp of human supremacist arguments dubbed anthropocentric speciesism by Andrew Fenton (2018). Anthropocentric ... -
Assessing effects of industrial effluent on wetlands surrounding a wastewater treatment facility using a multiple lines of evidence approach
A former estuary, known as the Boat Harbour Treatment Facility (BHTF), has been used to treat industrial effluent since 1967. This effluent created large volumes of unconsolidated sediment impacted by inorganic and organic ... -
OVERWINTER MORTALITY OF YOUNG-OF-THE-YEAR STRIPED BASS (Morone saxatilis) IN FRESHWATER PONDS IN NOVA SCOTIA
Commercial fishing for striped bass (Morone saxatilis) is very limited in Canada, therefore there is potential for pond-based aquaculture to fill the consumer market. One impediment to culture is high overwinter mortality ... -

Losses of carbon from mineral-associated soil organic matter pools in podzolic horizons following soil climatic changes associated with forest clear-cut harvesting
Losses of soil organic matter (SOM) from mineral soils through depth have been documented following intensive forest harvesting practices such as clear-cut harvesting, and this has implications for global carbon cycling. ... -
Development of a Novel Boron free Filler Metal for Transient Liquid Phase Bonding of Ni base superalloys
Joining of Ni base superalloys by transient liquid phase bonding (TLPB) has found limited application in aerospace due to the formation of brittle borides adjacent to the joint. Filler metals containing ~3 wt% B as a melting ... -
Characterization of Estuarine Particle Dynamics using Optical Properties
Estuarine sediment dynamics have a significant economical and ecological importance in environmental management and ecosystems protection. They are influenced by complex physical processes, including river discharge and ...
