Industrial Commemoration: A Grain Elevator Prototype for Economic Development in Rural Manitoba
(2015-04-02)This thesis is inspired by Manitoba’s rural industrial heritage that identifies with the iconic, traditional, prairie grain elevator. The evolution of the globalized agricultural industry is made visible through the ... -
Industrial Island - African-Caribbean Migration to Cape Breton Canada, 1900-1930
(2018-05-03)The late 19th and early 20th centuries evidenced extreme changes in industry and urbanization which fueled the movement of people worldwide. Included in this movement was an African Diaspora migration up and out of the ... -
Industrial Organicism: A New Organic Architecture to Grow the Post-Industrial Prairie Landscape
(2017-08-31)Building from the legacy and theoretical frameworks of organicism, this thesis is an investigation towards the development of true living architecture, a constructed biology existing as a function of its dynamic environment ... -
INDUSTRIAL ORGANICISM: Evolving the Cultural Landscape of the Minas Basin, Nova Scotia through Community Owned Renewable Energy
(2016-04-07)My thesis explores the evolution and ongoing cultural relevance of the unique Minas Basin landscape located along the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia. The tides of the Bay of Fundy, the highest in the world with a twice daily ... -
Industrial Processing of an Al-Zn-Mg-Cu Powder Metallurgy Alloy
(2017-12-01)The industrial processing of a commercial 7xxx series aluminum powder metallurgy (PM) alloy was studied in this work. Key aspects considered included direct comparisons of laboratory and industrially processed specimens ... -

INEQUITY IN ACCESS TO COLORECTAL CANCER SERVICES ALONG THE CONTINUUM OF CARE IN NOVA SCOTIA
(2010-06-28)Introduction: Despite the public and policy attention on ensuring access to health care for all Canadians, research continues to identify inequities in access to cancer care services. The objectives of this thesis are to ... -
THE INFANT FEEDING EXPERIENCES OF MI'KMAW WOMEN: A FEMINIST PHENOMENOLOGICAL INQUIRY
(2014-04-03)Although breastfeeding rates among Mi'kmaw women are rising (38%), they remain lower than those of other Nova Scotia women (76%). Increasing the rates of breastfeeding could potentially impact the health of this population ... -
INFERENCE AND INVESTIGATION OF MARINE MICROBIAL COMMUNITY STRUCTURES IN THE GLOBAL OCEANS
(2016-08-31)Marine microbial communities are complex, and represent a serious analytical challenge. The Bayesian model for inference of microbial community structure (BioMiCo) was used to characterize microbial populations using 16S ... -
INFERENCE OF GENE COEVOLUTION BASED ON PHYLOGENETIC PROFILES
(2022-11-17)Phylogenetic profiles, which summarize the presence and absence patterns of genes in a set of genomes, can be used to identify genes that have correlated evolutionary histories. However, comparative analysis of phylogenetic ... -
INFERENCE ON THE DIET COMPOSITION OF PREDATORS USING FATTY ACID SIGNATURES: AN APPLICATION OF BAYESIAN INFERENCE ON LINEAR MIXING MODELS
(2011-04-08)Determining the diet composition of predators is an important ingredient in many areas of ecology: understanding predator prey relationships, foraging behaviour of predators and consumption models to name a few. Iverson ... -
