A Study of the Rare Earth Element Geochemistry and Mineral Chemistry of the Anorthosites and Related Rocks near Pleasant Bay, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia
(1979-03-15)The anorthosites and related rocks of this study are located about 5 kilometres east of the village of Pleasant Bay, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. The anorthosites outcrop as a thin (~900m), northeast-trending lens with ... -
A Study of the Silica-Undersaturated Alkaline Rocks of the Laacher Sea Area, East Eifel Volcanic Field, West Germany
(1983-03-15)The generation of alkaline rocks is a complex process. The East Eifel volcanic field in West Germany represents the most alkalic rocks in the alkaline province of Central Europe and France. The area of particular interest, ... -
A study of the use of data provided by coastal atlases in coastal policy and decision-making [graduate project].
(2015-03-03)Every 20 seconds a new journal article is published, emphasizing the fact that an incredibly large volume of data and information is being generated, yet most of it remains underutilized or overlooked. Information plays ... -
Sub-mm and near-IR observations of galaxies selected at 170 microns
(2003-08-21)We present results from JCMT sub-mm observations of sources selected from the {\sl ISO} FIRBACK (Far-IR BACKground) survey, along with UKIRT near-IR imaging of a sub-sample. This gives valuable insight into the brightest ... -
Subcellular Min Oscillations as a Single-Cell Reporter of the Action of Polycations, Protamine, and Gentamicin on Escherichia coli
(2009-09)No abstract available. -
Submillimeter Galaxies at z 2: Evidence for Major Mergers & Constraints on Lifetimes, IMF and CO-H2 Conversion Factor
(2008-06-10)We report sub-arcsecond resolution IRAM PdBI millimeter CO interferometry of four z~2 submillimeter galaxies (SMGs), and sensitive CO (3-2) flux limits toward three z 2 UV-/optically selected star forming galaxies. The new ... -
Submillimeter Observations of Millimeter Bright Galaxies Discovered by the South Pole Telescope
(2012-06-20)We present APEX SABOCA 350micron and LABOCA 870micron observations of 11 representative examples of the rare, extremely bright (S_1.4mm > 15mJy), dust-dominated millimeter-selected galaxies recently discovered by the South ... -
Submillimeter Observations of the Ultraluminous BAL Quasar APM 08279+5255
(1998-9-20)With an inferred bolometric luminosity of $5\times10^{15}{\rm \lsun}$, the recently identified z=3.87, broad absorption line quasar APM 08279+5255 is apparently the most luminous object currently known. As half of its ... -
Submillimetre and far-infrared spectral energy distributions of galaxies: the luminosity-temperature relation and consequences for photometric redshifts
(2003-01)The spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of dusty high-redshift galaxies are poorly sampled in frequency and spatially unresolved. Their form is crucially important for estimating the large luminosities of these galaxies ... -
Submillimetre Detection of the z=2.83 Lyman-Break Galaxy, Westphal-MM8, and Implications for SCUBA2
(2009-03-12)We present confusion limited submillimetre (submm) observations with the SCUBA camera on the JCMT of the z=2.83 Lyman-break galaxy (LBG), Westphal-MM8, reaching an 850um sensitivity even greater than that achieved in the ... -
A submillimetre galaxy at z=4.76 in the LABOCA survey of the Extended Chandra Deep Field South
(2009-06-01)We report on the identification of the highest redshift submm-selected source currently known: LESSJ033229.4-275619. This source was detected in the Large Apex BOlometer CAmera (LABOCA) Extended Chandra Deep Field South ... -
Submillimetre observations of a sample of broad absorption line quasars
(2003-10-10)The broad absorption line (BAL) features seen in a small fraction of quasar optical/UV spectra are attributed to bulk outflows away from the quasar core. Observational evidence suggests that dust plays a key role in these ... -
Submillimetre sources in rich cluster fields - source counts, redshift estimates, and cooling flow limits
(2002-02-11)Recent submillimetre surveys have revealed a population of dusty, high redshift sources of great cosmological significance for understanding dust-enshrouded star formation in distant galaxies, and for determining the origin ... -
A submm survey of Lyman-alpha haloes in the SA22 protocluster at z=3.1
(2005-09-30)We present the results from a submm survey of a sample of 23 giant Lya emitting nebulae in the overdensity at z=3.09 in the SA22 field. These objects, which have become known as Lya Blobs (LABs) have a diverse range of ... -

Subsidence of the Scotian Basin: A Theoretical Model
(1978-03-15)The development of a continental margin basin such as the Scotian Basin depends on various factors, exponential thermal contraction, sedimentary loading and the physical properties of the lithosphere underlying the ... -
A Subsidence, Compaction, Pressure, Temperature, and Maturity History of the Hibernia B-08 Well, Grand Banks, Newfoundland
(1992-04-15)The Jeanne d'Arc basin is one of several of Late Triassic basins in Atlantic Canada, some of which contain significant quantities of hydrocarbons. The Jeanne d'Arc basin has extensive overpressuring associated with the ... -
Subtidal circulation on the Scotian Shelf: assessing the hindcast skill of a linear, barotropic model
(American Geophys. Union, 1997-11/15)Currents measured during the winter of 1985-1986 by four moorings on the inner Scotian Shelf are used to assess the hindcast skill of a three-dimensional circulation model forced by local wind stress and coastal sea level. ... -
Suitability Map of Dalhousie’s Studley Campus Renewable Energy Potential
