RADON-222 POTENTIAL IN TILLS OF HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA
(2013-08-23)
The relative contributions of bedrock geology, radiometric uranium, till permeability
and surficial geology were assessed as predictors of radon in indoor air in the
Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM), NS, Canada. Bedrock ...
Gap Junction Formation in Heart Valves in Response to Mechanical Loading
(2013-08-27)
Valvular interstitial cells (VICs) are responsible for the maintenance of heart
valve leaflet structure, however their responses to mechanical loading are not fully
understood. Further characterization of VIC responses ...
POPULATION STATUS AND SOCIAL STRUCTURE OF NORTHERN BOTTLENOSE WHALES (HYPEROODON AMPULLATUS) ON THE SCOTIAN SHELF
(2013-08-14)
I examined the dynamics of an endangered population of northern bottlenose whales over a 23-year period during which its prime habitat, the Gully canyon, was made a Marine Protected Area (MPA). Using mark-recapture techniques ...
AN INVESTIGATION OF TRENDS IN CARBONACEOUS AEROSOLS OVER NORTH AMERICA
(2013-08-27)
A long term (1989-2008) decreasing trend in black carbon and organic carbon surface concentrations is indicated by insitu measurements (IMPROVE) in the United States in winter months. The observed percent negative trend ...
A NEW TEST TO BUILD CONFIDENCE REGIONS USING BALANCED MINIMUM EVOLUTION
(2013-08-30)
In phylogenetic analysis, an important issue is to construct the confidence region
for gene trees from DNA sequences. Usually estimation of the trees is the initial
step. Maximum likelihood methods are widely applied but ...

This thesis aims to contribute to the improvement of online machine translation software. We identify errors in the process of translation between English and French and make recommendations. The systems evaluated are ...
"SOME WOMEN ARE JUST SO MUCH BETTER THAN ME:" GOVERNMENTALITY ENACTED THROUGH THE BREAST CANCER SOCIAL MOVEMENT
(2013-03-25)
Breast cancer social movements have, in many ways, succeeded in increasing the visibility of the disease in North America, yet researchers understand little about the effects of this visibility; there is little information ...
OBSERVATIONS OF THE SPACE-TIME STRUCTURE OF FLOW, VORTICITY AND STRESS OVER ORBITAL-SCALE RIPPLES
(2013-07-09)
The spatial and temporal structure of the flow, vorticity and stress over equilibrium orbital-scale sand ripples are investigated at turbulence-resolving scales with a wide-band coherent Doppler profiler (MFDop) in an ...
AUTHENTICATING FAMILY: RE/CLAIMING LEGITIMACY BY THE LESBIAN HEADED STEPFAMILY
(2013-08-23)
Family is an integral part of the fabric of society with diverse configurations of people living together, related through blood or kinship. Changes to the Canadian political and legal structures granting access to marriage ...
