Using GIS for Spatial and Temporal Analysis in Print Culture Studies: Some Opportunities and Challenges
(Duke University Press, 2000)Examines the issues involved in employing a viewpoint that geography impacts research. Idea in the history of print culture; Interest in the study of print culture; Use of quantitative data by historians of print culture; ... -
Using Heat to Trace Vertical Water Fluxes in Sediment Experiencing Concurrent Tidal Pumping and Groundwater Discharge
(Wiley/American Geophysical Union, 2021-02)Heat has been widely applied to trace groundwater-surface water exchanges in inland environments, but it is infrequently applied in coastal sediment where head oscillations induce periodicity in water flux magnitude/direction ... -
Using High-Throughput Paleolimnological Methods to Evaluate the Distribution and Transport of Lead in Northeastern North America
(2020-09-17)Using high-throughput paleolimnological methods, this thesis evaluated anthropogenic Pb deposition along a west-east transect from the Adirondack Mountains, New York, USA (ADIR) region, the Vermont-New Hampshire-Maine, USA ... -
USING HYDROCORTISONE TO STUDY CONJUNCTIVAL PAPILLAE AND PLACODE FORMATION IN THE CHICKEN EMBRYONIC EYE
(2023-12-15)Scleral ossicle bones can be seen in the eyes of many vertebrates, including reptiles, and their development is easily studied in the embryonic chicken eye. Previous research has described how these bones are induced through ... -
USING INFORMATION ON PAST AND PRESENT FOREST COVER TO GUIDE RESTORATION EFFORTS: AN ANALYSIS OF DATA QUALITY AND LANDSCAPE CONNECTIVITY IN UNAMA’KI (CAPE BRETON, NOVA SCOTIA)
(2023-08-04)Ecological connectivity is the extent to which a landscape supports the movement of organisms and processes between patches of suitable habitat and is necessary for ecosystem functioning. Boreal forests in Unama’ki (Cape ... -
Using Integrated Environmental Change Study Methods to Understand Factors Influencing Harmful Algae Blooms in a Rural Headwater Lake
(2021-08-13)Eutrophication and algae production are an important lake management issue in rural Nova Scotia. In the past decade, there have been increasing instances of harmful algae bloom (HAB) events in previously unaffected surface ... -
Using Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (IQ) to Guide Cervical Cancer Care Among Inuit Communities: Implications from A Scoping Review
(2019-08-09)This thesis is part of a larger research project that aims to use Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (IQ) in the development of culturally-relevant cervical cancer care among Inuit communities. Specifically, a Joanna Briggs Institute ... -
USING LANDSCAPE GENETICS TO FORM A PORTRAIT OF A SUCKER: AN ARGUMENT FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF MULTIPLE FACTORS TO CAPTURE THE WHOLE PICTURE OF A SUBARCTIC DENDRITIC METAPOPULATION
(2015)I tested the relative importance of life history, environmental barriers, dendritic structure, and historical colonization on the neutral genetic structure of a longnose sucker (Catostomus catostomus) metapopulation in the ... -
