Faba bean: an alternative to soybean in Nova Scotia, Canada.
(Borkhauser Verlag: Basel, Boston, Stuttgart., 1982-01-01)For farmers in Nova Scotia who wish to be self-sufficient in animal feed, and in N fertilizer, the faba bean offers a number of advantages over soybean: (i) no special processing is required; (ii) nodulation is generally ... -
Fabrication of thiol-capped Pd nanoparticles: An electrochemical method
(2003-03)No abstract available. -
Facial selectivity in the 4 + 2 reactions of a diene derived from carvone
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2006)The facial selectivities of cyclohexadienes bearing isopropenyl and isopropyl groups as plane-nonsymmetric substituents were assessed in 4 + 2 reactions with N-phenylmaleimide, tetracyanoethylene and 4-phenyl-1,2,4- ... -
Facile Deprotection of F-BODIPYs using Methylboronic Acid
(2020)4,4-Difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacenes (F-BODIPYs) are deprotected through removal of the –BF2 moiety upon treatment with methylboronic acid. The tolerance of various substitution patterns about the dipyrrinato core ... -
Facilitating Carbon Footprint Awareness in the Ralph M. Medjuck Building
(2011-04)Research in any area that is working to reduce carbon dioxide is presently relevant, timely and urgently needed because climate change is occurring at an accelerated rate due to the carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas ... -
FACTORS AFFECTING IMTA (INTEGRATED MULTI-TROPHIC AQUACULTURE) IMPLEMENTATION ON ATLANTIC SALMON (SALMO SALAR) AQUACULTURE FARMS
(2020-12)Aquaculture operations are currently the fastest-growing food production industry, increasing output over 20 times in the past few decades alone. Waste management on “fed” aquaculture farms, like Atlantic Salmon, is a ... -
Fair Trade Campus: Identifying Support within the Dalhousie Community
(2012-04)The primary objective of this research project is to determine the level of support that is present at Dalhousie University for becoming a Fair Trade Campus. This is a holistic study that will take into account the ... -
Fair Trade Fish: A Tool to Protect Culture and Promote Responsible Fisheries Management
(2011-11-15)The fishing industry has played and continues to play an important role within Aboriginal culture and the larger Canadian demographic. Due to decades of habitat loss and poor fisheries management, many wild keystone fish ... -
The fair way or the Chiloé? Exploring the role of certification in the governance of labour in aquaculture in Chiloé, Chile [graduate project].
(2016)Aquaculture has emerged as an increasingly important element of global food production systems as the total global population continues to rise, and climate change impacts yields in both agriculture and capture fisheries. ... -
"Fair" inequality? Attitudes toward pay differentials: The United States in comparative perspective
(2006-06)Are American attitudes toward economic inequality different from those in other countries? One tradition in sociology suggests American "exceptionalism," while another argues for convergence across nations in social norms, ... -
A Family of Cosmological Solutions in Higher-Dimensional Einstein Gravity
(1995-01)No abstract available. -
The Far- and Mid-Infrared/Radio Correlations in the Spitzer Extragalactic First Look Survey
(2004-09)Using the SPITZER SPACE TELESCOPE and the VLA, we present the first DIRECT evidence that the well-known far-infrared/radio correlation is valid to cosmologically significant redshift. We also confirm, with improved statistics ... -
Far-infrared characterization of an ultra-luminous starburst associated with a massively-accreting black hole at z=1.15
(2007-05-01)As part of the "All Wavelength Extended Groth Strip International Survey" (AEGIS), we describe the panchromatic characterization of an X-ray luminous active galactic nucleus (AGN) in a merging galaxy at z=1.15. This object ... -
Farms as ecosystems
(University Extension Press, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, 1999)Organic farming provides ecosystem services as well as food. The weakest points of organic farming systems are limited use of livestock and declining genetic resources. Organic farming has special research and service ... -
Fate of Heavy Metals in Passive Wastewater Treatment Systems of the Northwest Territories
(2020-04)Due to unique climatic, geologic, and biologic conditions of northern Canadian landscapes, wastewater management in this region is complex and geographically distinctive. Many regions of the Northwest Territories (NWT) ... -
Fatty acid profiles in the gonads of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis on natural algal diets
(2008)We examined fatty acid (FA) compositions of gonads of the green sea urchin Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis collected from a grazing aggregation (front) at the edge of a kelp bed and from barrens dominated by coralline ... -
Fatty acids as dietary tracers in benthic food webs
(Inter-Research, Nordbuente 23 Oldendorf/Luhe 21385 Germany, 2011)Fatty acid (FA) analysis is a well-established tool for studying trophic interactions in marine habitats. However, its application to benthic food webs poses 2 particular challenges. First, unlike pelagic zooplankton, ... -
Fatty acids tracers for native and invasive macroalgae in an experimental food web
(2009)We assessed the potential of fatty acid (FA) markers for tracing primary production from an invasive green alga (Codium fragile ssp. fragile) and a native kelp (Saccharina longicruris) through 2 trophic levels in an ... -
A Feasibility Analysis of Implementing Bioregional Food in Dalhousie University’s Studley Campus Residence Dining Halls
(2005-04)This project will examine how much of the food for the dining halls on Dalhousie University’s Studley campus come from farms, processors and manufacturers within the Maritime Provinces which include Nova Scotia, New Brunswick ...
