Implementing Multiple Sources of Evidence to Describe Wildlife-Road Interactions in the Chignecto Isthmus Region of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, Canada
(2019-12-17)Roads impact wildlife through direct vehicle-caused mortality as well as through indirect effects of habitat degradation and fragmentation. These effects are of particular concern in areas important to wildlife movements, ... -
IMPLEMENTING RADIOSTEREOMETRIC ANALYSIS IN A LOW DOSE BIPLANAR SLOT SCANNER
(2016-01-18)Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE) is a condition affecting young adolescents in which the proximal femoral metaphysis 'slips' in relation to the capital epiphysis. If left untreated, children are at an increased ... -
Implementing science in environmental assessment - a review of theory
(2017-03-29)Despite a growing body of literature addressing the scientific requirements of competent environmental assessment (EA), practice remains contested. This study aims first to provide an overview of scientific developments ... -
The Implications of Predator Management for an Endangered Shorebird; Do Nest Exclosures Affect the Behaviour of Piping Plovers and their Predators?
(2012-09-14)Predators are a threat to many ground-nesting shorebirds, although it remains largely unknown how they interact with passive predator management techniques such as nest exclosures. I examined the effects of nest exclosures ... -
Implications of the Innate Immune Response in Tuberculosis and Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy
(2014-08-06)Reactivation of latent tuberculosis (TB) in HIV-infected individuals has arisen as a major contributor to early death in areas where TB and HIV overlap. CD4+ T cells are the targets of HIV, leading to insufficient IFN-γ ... -
Implicit and Explicit Gambling Outcome Expectancies: Activation by Gambling Cue Exposure and Utility in Predicting Gambling Outcomes
(2014-08-28)Outcome expectancies are mental “if...then” propositions that make connections between behaviour and anticipated consequences. Despite their theoretical significance in addictive behaviours, a paucity of research has ... -
The importance of conformation in the reactivity of radical cations.

THE IMPORTANCE OF OSMO-MIXOTROPHY IN THE NUTRITION OF THE DIATOM THALASSIOSIRA OCEANICA UNDER IRON LIMITATION
(2018-09-28)This thesis addresses the potential for osmo-mixotrophy within the diatom species Thalassiosira oceanica under iron-limited and iron-replete conditions. Urea can provide both carbon and nitrogen to fulfill the cellular ... -
The importance of pricing: a microeconomic theory of multinational behaviour under trade barriers
(Dalhousie University, 1976-07-20)This thesis develops a theoretical model of a multinational enterprise (MNE) consisting of two horizontally integrated firms, both monopolists in their own markets. The MNE is assumed to maximize total profits; hire labor ... -

Imprints of the Everyday: Architecture for Incremental Interventions
(2021-08-19)Urban erasure, as a result of tabula rasa redevelopments and the privatization of public spaces within London, are wiping out the idiosyncratic imprints of the city’s inhabitants. Through unfolding the power of ephemeral ... -
Improved Artificial Potential Field Method for Robotic Path Planning
(2020-12-18)Determination of a collision free path for a robot between start and goal positions through obstacles cluttered in a workspace is central to the design of an autonomous robot path planning. This thesis presents an improved ... -
Improved Charge Transfer and Barrier Lowering across a Au-MoS2 Interface through the Insertion of a Layered Ca2N Electride
(2021-08-31)Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are a family of layered semiconductors with great potential to impact the upcoming field of two-dimensional (2D) electronics. In particular, MoS2 is a TMDC with a desirable band ... -
Improved functional magnetic resonance imaging at 4.0 T
(2015-04-13)Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is an important tool for the study of the human brain. When performed at higher field strengths, fMRI offers increased signal strength and sensitivity to activation. Unfortunately, ... -
