INVESTIGATION OF THE TEST CHARACTERISTICS OF TWO SCREENING TOOLS IN COMPARISON TO A GOLD STANDARD ASSESSMENT TO DETECT DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY: A PILOT STUDY
(2011-09-06)There is minimal information available regarding test characteristics of the Rourke and the NDDS, two tools commonly used to screen for developmental delay. The objectives are to (a) generate preliminary descriptive data ... -
Investigation of the Use of Smartphone Applications for Trip Planning and Travel Outcome
(2016-08-29)This study explored how smartphone applications are used for trip planning and how they influence travel outcomes. The study used data from ‘Smartphone Use and Travel Choice Survey - 2015’ conducted in Halifax, Canada. An ... -
AN INVESTIGATION OF TRENDS IN CARBONACEOUS AEROSOLS OVER NORTH AMERICA
(2013-08-27)A long term (1989-2008) decreasing trend in black carbon and organic carbon surface concentrations is indicated by insitu measurements (IMPROVE) in the United States in winter months. The observed percent negative trend ... -
Investigation of two Arabidopsis RING-type E3 ligases, KEG and XBAT32.
(2014-12-11)E3 ubiquitin ligases are a family of proteins that facilitate the covalent attachment of ubiquitin onto target proteins. Protein activity, function, and stability are influenced by ubiquitination and consequently ubiquitination ... -
Investigation of Undersea Sour Gas Well Blowouts using Multiphase Computational Fluid Dynamics
(2019-11-28)The production of natural gas requires the removal of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide during processing, resulting in a waste stream typically called acid gas. In offshore natural gas production, the disposal of these ... -
An investigation of usage barriers for personal informatics tools
(2015-01-20)Personal Informatics systems help people to collect their personal data over time and to reflect on it to gain self-knowledge. Li et al. [20] conducted surveys and interviews with people who currently collect and reflect ... -
An Investigation of Using Machine Learning with Distribution Based Flow Features for Classifying SSL Encrypted Network Traffic
(2012-08-20)Encrypted protocols, such as Secure Socket Layer (SSL), are becoming more prevalent because of the growing use of e-commerce, anonymity services, gaming and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications such as Skype and Gtalk. The ... -
An investigation of vertically grouped five, six and seven year old children in elementary schools.
(Dalhousie University, 1984) -
An Investigation on Detecting Applications Hidden in SSL Streams using Machine Learning Techniques
(2010-09-09)The importance of knowing what type of traffic is flowing through a network is paramount to its success. Traffic shaping, Quality of Service, identifying critical business applications, Intrusion Detection Systems, as ... -
Investigation on dynamic pulse buckling and damage behavior of composite laminated beams subject to axial impulse.
(Dalhousie University, 2004) -
An Investigation on Graph Polynomials
The chromatic polynomial of a graph 𝐺, denoted π (𝐺, 𝑥), is the polynomial whose evaluations at positive integers 𝑥 count the number of (proper) 𝑥-colourings of 𝐺. This polynomial was introduced by Birkhoff in 1912 ... -
An investigation on the photochemistry of dimethylsulfide in marine waters.
(Dalhousie University, 2004) -
An Investigation to Enhance Stratification in Solar Domestic Hot Water Tanks Using Photovoltaic Power
(2019-09-24)Improved energy conservation methods and awareness of these methods in the industrial sector, along with the decreasing cost of photovoltaic (PV) technology, implicates PV-water heating system designs as economically ... -
Investigations into the Biosynthesis, Derivatization, and Purification of Jadomycins
(2015-04-06)Nature produces many clinically used medicines in the form of natural products. These compounds can be isolated from a variety of sources, but bacteria have been shown to be the most prolific source. The strain Streptomyces ... -
Investigations into the intracellular pathogenesis of Legionella pneumophila.
(Dalhousie University, 1991) -
Investigations into the Reactivity and Structure of Phosphinophosphonium Cations and Related Species
(2010-12-20)Carbon and phosphorus have often been compared owing to their diagonal relationship on the periodic table. However, relative to carbon, there remains an enormous breadth of polyphosphorus chemistry that is unexplored, ... -
Investigations of a one dimensional system of "charged" bosons undergoing delta-function interactions.
(Dalhousie University, 1994) -
Investigations of enzyme active-site architectures and catalysis
(2022-08-19)Sodium methyl hex-5-ynoyl phosphate (SMHP) was synthesized as an activity-based probe designed to target protein architectures with nucleophiles adjacent to a cationic binding site. Activity-based protein profiling revealed ... -
Investigations of Parameters Impacting Transmembrane Electrophoresis for Improved SDS Depletion of Proteome Samples for Mass Spectrometry
(2018-07-13)Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is a favoured reagent for proteomic sample preparation but detrimental to down-stream analysis by liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC-MS). This group previously introduced a novel ... -
Investigations of Phosphenium Insertion into Phosphorus-Phosphorus Bonds
(2011-05-02)Despite many drawn parallels between carbon and phosphorus, the development of catena-phosphorus chemistry is superficially explored when compared to carbon. This lack of progression is especially highlighted for cationic ...
