Impact of threat level, task instruction, and individual characteristics on cold pressor pain and fear among children and their parents
(John Wiley & Sons, 2015)The cold pressor task (CPT) is increasingly used to induce experimental pain in children, but the specific methodology of the CPT is quite variable across pediatric studies. This study examined how subtle variations in CPT ... -
Impact of ultraviolet radiation on marine crustacean zooplankton and ichthyoplankton: a synthesis of results from the estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence, Canada
(2000)The objectives of the research program reported upon here were (1) to measure ambient levels of UV radiation and determine which variables most strongly affected its attenuation in the waters of the estuary and Gulf of St. ... -
Impacts of Forest Loss on the Global Water Cycle of the Permian-Triassic Extinction
(2022-04)Recent studies have shown profound effects of deforestation on decreased precipitation and evapotranspiration. This can be attributed to the concept of green water, which is the volume of water stored in soils and ... -

Implications of finite-size and surface effects on nanosize intercalation materials
(2000-03)A Monte Carlo simulation of a two-dimensional lattice gas with free boundaries is used to study the effects of surface and size on the chemical potential-composition curves of intercalation compounds. In particular we are ... -

Improving eel fishery management through the incorporation of indigenous knowledge into policy level decision making – A case study in Eskasoni, Cape Breton.
(2015-04-22)As the world continues to transform due to factors such as to climate change, and the expansion of our towns and cities there will continue to be negative consequences for the ecosystems that support our natural resources, ... -
Improving Evolutionary Models for Mitochondrial Protein Data with Site-Class Specific Amino Acid Exchangeability Matrices
(2013-01)Adequate modeling of mitochondrial sequence evolution is an essential component of mitochondrial phylogenomics (comparative mitogenomics). There is wide recognition within the field that lineage-specific aspects of ... -
Improving international fisheries management by prioritizing geopolitical issues: A case study on Atlantic shortfin mako management
(2018-12)Managing internationally-shared fish stocks is incredibly difficult and requires international cooperation. The International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) is the regulatory body responsible for ... -
Improving resources to assess climate change coastal vulnerability: a pre-assessment criteria of the socio-economic values of working waterfront infrastructures in Nova Scotia
(2012-10-26)The scientific community has stated that coastal zones will be among the zones that would suffer major negative consequences in terms of climate change effects. Nova Scotia, as a coastal province, is not absolved of such ... -
