"Quamina, do you hear this?" Revisiting the Demerara Slave Rebellion, 1823
(2018-12-14)In this thesis I re-examine primary documentation relating to the Demerara Rebellion of 1823. I engage in this exploration to ascertain whether previous narratives of the rebellion were correct in that all of the slaves ... -
Quand la science-fiction précède la science : La Conception de l'histoire d'Isaac Asimov dans Fondation
(Dalhousie University. Electronic Text Centre, 2005)In the initial Foundation trilogy (1941-1953), Isaac Asimov adopts a probability-based view of human history, resulting from accidental events brought together by the selective pressure of diverse socio-cultural factors. ... -
Quand le cow boy n'est plus solitaire: Profil et fonction diégétique de la partenaire féminine dans quelques séries policières de la télévision: Rick Hunter, Law and Order: Criminal Intent et Crime Scene Investigation
(Dalhousie University. Electronic Text Centre, 2006)This article deals with a specific relation within TV productions: that between the principal investigator and his assistant in detective serials. This grouping of two characters often of the opposite sex offers an interesting ... -
Quantal and structural analysis of transmission and plasticity at individual synapses in the hippocampus
(2022-11-30)Synapses are the primary sites of information processing in the brain and effective communication between neurons relies on the efficacy of their transmission. The excitatory glutamatergic connections between CA3-CA1 neurons ... -
Quantification and spatial analysis of seagrass landscape structure through the application of aerial and acoustic remote sensing
(2016-01-19)Biogenic components of the marine environment such as eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) provide numerous valuable ecosystem services and function as ecosystem engineers in the coastal environment. The spatial distribution and ... -
Quantification Of Gross Nitrogen Transformation Rates Within A Conventional Potato Rotation Using Stable Isotopes
(2012-12-13)This study used the isotope pool dilution method to estimate gross rates of mineralization, nitrification, NH4+ and NO3- consumption, and denitrification emissions over two growing seasons within a conventional barley-red ... -
Quantification of the factors controlling tropical tropospheric ozone and the South Atlantic maximum
(2007-06)No abstract available. -
QUANTIFICATION OF THE OCEANOGRAPHIC CONTRIBUTORS TO TIME-VARIANCE IN THE UNDERWATER ACOUSTIC CHANNEL DURING THE DALCOMMS1 EXPERIMENT
(2018-12-10)Underwater acoustic communication is a key enabler for civilian and military applications such as ocean sampling networks, offshore exploration, pollution monitoring and underwater surveillance (Akyildiz et al., 2005). ... -
Quantifying and modelling nitrate leaching from a lettuce field in Annapolis valley Nova Scotia
(2015-04-02)Nitrate leaching (NO3-) from vegetable fields has become significant environmental issue in North America. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of timing and rate of nitrogen (N) fertilizer on lettuce ... -
Quantifying coastal cliff retreat using Structure-from-Motion photogrammetry in the Minas Basin, Nova Scotia
(2020-09-01)Rates of retreat of cliffed coastlines are increasing around the globe, but the causes of observed increases are unclear. Lack of understanding complicates assessment of the risks to coastal infrastructure associated with ... -
Quantifying hydraulic conductivity spatial variability for a cement-based solidification/stabilization (S/S) remediation project: a case study.
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2021)This paper presents statistical analyses of hydraulic conductivity data collected from an existing cement-based solidification/stabilization (S/S) system. The goal is to characterize the spatial variability of hydraulic ... -
QUANTIFYING IMPACTS OF SPATIAL RESOLUTION ON PIXEL AND OBJECT-BASED METHODS OF IMAGE CLASSIFICATION: A CASE STUDY OF IDENTIFYING ESTUARINE MORPHOLOGY IN COBEQUID BAY, NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA
(2020-04-15)Image processing methods can be used to classify land cover and phenomena fromsatellite imagery according to their spectral characteristics and identify target features. These methodscanprovide a relatively efficient ... -
Quantifying Land-use / Land Cover Change and Eutrophication in the Carleton River Watershed, Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia, Canada
(2018-04)A number of rivers and watershed systems in Southwestern Nova Scotia, Canada have experienced an increase in eutrophication promoting nutrients over the past three decades. As a consequence, artificial eutrophication and ... -
Quantifying nitrogen loading and corresponding eutrophication symptoms in 7 bays in eastern New Brunswick, Canada
(2015-02-25)Anthropogenic nitrogen loading has been identified as a significant cause of seagrass decline worldwide. In the Southern Gulf of St. Lawrence, eelgrass (Zostera marina) is the dominant macrophyte in shallow coastal bays ... -
Quantifying particle dispersal in aquatic sediments at short time scales: model selection
(2008)In a pulse-tracer experiment, a layer of tracer particles is added to the sediment-water interface, and the down-mixing of these particles is followed over a short time scale. Here, we compared different models (biodiffusion, ... -
Quantifying predation on planktonic larval stages of marine benthic invertebrates
(2017-08-30)This thesis enhances our ability to develop hypotheses on effects of predation on the ecology of larval marine benthic invertebrates. I evaluated the mechanisms that influence encounter rates among predators and prey, and ...
