Review of Labour Market Regimes and Patterns of Flexibility: a Sweden - Canada Comparison
(Canadian Public Policy, 1999) -
A review of the planned shipping activity for the Baffinland Mary River Project: assessing the hazards to marine mammals and migratory birds, and identifying gaps in proposed mitigation measures
(2011-11-16)Exploration for minerals, oil, and natural gas, as well as their exploitation and transportation, is heavily reliant on marine transportation. Global demand for these natural resources, as well as a rise in Arctic warming ... -
Review of “At Home and Abroad: U.S. Labor Market Performance in International Perspective”
(Russell Sage Foundation, 2003) -
Riparian Buffer Removal and Associated Land Use in the Sackville River Watershed, Nova Scotia, Canada
(2010-04)“To what extent has riparian area been removed in the Sackville River watershed and what land uses are associated with this riparian area removal?” I investigate this question by assessing the extent of riparian area removal ... -
Risk vs. public reaction in marine oil spills: a case study analysis of six Atlantic Canadian marine vessel-sourced oil related incidents
(2012-09-20)Marine vessel-sourced oil related (MVSOR) incidents represent a potential threat to marine organisms and ecosystems in Atlantic Canada. The management of these incidents must involve management of the objective risks ... -
A robust method for diagnosing regional shelf circulation from scattered density profiles
(1996-11)We present a straightforward method for estimating surface circulation on an f plane from a set of irregularly spaced vertical density profiles. The first step is to express bottom density rho(h) as the sum of a mean for ... -
A robust sample of submillimetre galaxies: constraints on the prevalence of dusty, high-redshift starbursts
(2005-12-11)The modest significance of most sources detected in current submm surveys can potentially compromise some analyses due to the inclusion of spurious sources in catalogues typically selected at >3.0-3.5sigma. Here, we develop ... -
Robust Synthesis of F-BODIPYs
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016)F-BODIPYs are widely used in applications that rely upon their highly tunable optical properties. A protocol is established for the high-yielding synthesis of F-BODIPYs involving non-anhydrous reagents and not requiring ... -
A role for generalized Fermat numbers
(American Mathematical Society, 2016)We define a Gauss factorial $N_n!$ to be the product of all positive integers up to $N$ that are relatively prime to $n\in\mathbb N$. In this paper we study particular aspects of the Gauss factorials $\lfloor\frac{n-1} ... -
A Role for Inuit: How northern communities can inform and influence the dynamics of offshore oil and gas development in Nunavut [graduate project].
(2015-11-23)Climate change and declining ice cover, as well as socio-political and economic incentives, are increasingly attracting corporate attention towards the Canadian North. Oil and gas companies have renewed their interests in ... -
The role of development, parental behavior, and nestmate competition in fledging of nestling Tree Swallows
(2000-10)Fledging (i.e. leaving the nest) in altricial birds is a major step toward independence. The timing of this important event may be influenced by nestling development, parental behavior, and sibling interactions. In this ... -
Role of early post-settlement mortality in recruitment of benthic marine invertebrates
(1997-08)Newly settled invertebrates usually are subject to high rates of mortality (Type III survivorship). Therefore, knowledge of early post-settlement events is critical in determining if and when patterns of abundance and ... -
Role of grazing by sea urchins Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis in regulating the invasive alga Codium fragile ssp tomentosoides in Nova Scotia
(2005)To assess the potential of herbivory in regulating the invasive green alga Codium fragile ssp. tomentosoides, field and laboratory experiments were conducted with the green sea urchin Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis ... -
Role of interfaces in the magnetoresistance of Au/Fe/Au/Fe multilayers
(APS through AIP, 2003-02/01)By using the fully relativistic spin-polarized screened Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method and the corresponding Kubo-Greenwood equation resistivities and the giant magnetoresistance are evaluated for Fe/Au/Fe/Au spin valves ... -
