LIFE HISTORY CONSEQUENCES OF OCEAN WARMING AND EXPLOITATION IN NORTHWEST ATLANTIC HERRING (CLUPEA HARENGUS)
(2022-02-24)Explaining the mechanisms that generate and maintain intraspecific variation in life histories – the manners in which organisms acquire and allocate resources to growth, reproduction, and survival – is a fundamental goal ... -
Life history variability in maturity and the influence of environment in Atlantic Salmon, Salmo salar, and Bullethead Parrotfish, Chlorurus sordidus and C. spilurus, under climate change
(2021-12-20)Life history transitions are periods between lifecycle stages defined by physiological, morphological, or spatial change. By assessing the timing of transitions, we increase our understanding of the trade-offs in traits ... -
LIFE SATISFACTION, VICTIMIZATION, AND DISCRIMINATION AMONG OFF-RESERVE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES IN CANADA
(2019-08-20)This thesis reports on the distribution and responsiveness of various measures of life circumstances to the life satisfaction of off-reserve Indigenous Peoples and compares these findings to non-Indigenous Peoples in ... -
A Lifecycle Assessment-Based Environmental Analysis of Building Operationally Energy Efficient Houses in Nova Scotia
(2022-10-25)In contribution to Nova Scotia’s energy goals, incentives have been developed by the province’s energy efficiency utility to encourage homeowners to increase their home’s efficiency. Although operational energy efficiency ... -
Lifelong learning and the homeplace.
(Dalhousie University, 1998) -
Lifting the veil: An Afrocentric analysis of racial rankings on IQ tests.
(Dalhousie University, 1997) -
Ligand-enabled advances in Ni-catalyzed cross-coupling
(2024-04-11)Due to their abundance in bioactive molecules, the construction of C(sp2)-X bonds (X = C, N, O) using cheap and abundant aryl electrophiles is centrally important in synthetic organic chemistry. Homogeneous catalysis has ... -
Light and nutrient effects on microalgal physiology.
(Dalhousie University, 1984) -
Light as a Narrative of Place: Examining the Human Experience of Daylight in Public Buildings in Northern Cities
(2018-04-06)This thesis will explore how architecture and daylight can be used as a narrative to create a human experience reflective of place. This will be explored through public buildings in large metropolitan cities in Nordic ... -
LIGHT PROPAGATION IN NONLINEAR MEDIA
(2022-10-24)The study of the light propagation in some complex media and its out-of-equilibrium dynamics is reported. Our research is based on the light-matter interaction hydrodynamic model under the multiscale expansion framework. ... -
Light scattering by nonspherical particles: Numerical simulation and applications.
(Dalhousie University, 2000) -
A likelihood based clustering method for detection of recombination for DNA and Amino Acid sequences
(2016-04-29)Genetic Recombination is a process where parts of different genes are combined to form a new gene. Recombination detection is an important part of phylogenetic analysis for DNA sequences and thus the detection of recombination ... -
Lime-alumina-silica ceramic processing incorporating wollastonite (CaO.SiO(2)).
(Dalhousie University, 1997) -
Liminal Communities: An Infrastructure for Identity and Belonging in Planned Resource Towns
(2018-07-31)Following the economic crisis of 2008, residents of Mackenzie, a remote forestry town in British Columbia, watched as all six local mills closed – putting their economy on pause and forcing nearly a quarter of residents ... -
Liminal Dwelling: Support for Street Residents, a Place of Re-integration and Transition
(2017-04-17)In this thesis, I will argue for the establishment of a ‘shelter-first’ tent city in the South East False Creek area; one that brings collaboration between the housed and unhoused. One which provides a safe and stable place ... -
LIMITATIONS AND EXTENSIONS OF THE MAKISHIMA MACKENZIE MODEL
(2014-10-22)The Makishima Mackenzie model, used to predict the elastic properties of glass, is explored in terms of both accuracy and predictive properties. Its limitations are outlined, in particular for borate glass, and a new ... -
LIMITING LYME DISEASE: USING SYSTEM DYNAMICS SIMULATION TO TARGET HEALTH INTERVENTIONS
(2016-04-08)Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne infection in North America. However, little is known about the impact of public and physician awareness and behaviour on health outcomes. In order to address this limitation, ... -
