A novel role for brain-derived adipokines in the etiology of obesity?
(Dalhousie University, 2007) -
A Novel Scalable Key Management Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks
(2013-04-08)Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are ad-hoc networks consisting of tiny battery- operated wireless sensors. The sensor nodes are lightweight in terms of memory, computation, energy and communication. These networks are ... -
Novel Statistical Analyses of Longline Survey Data for Improved Indices of Atlantic Halibut Abundance
(2020-12-09)The longline halibut survey is a joint project between the Atlantic Halibut Council (AHC) and Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). This annual survey is used to monitor the status of Atlantic Halibut on the Scotian Shelf and ... -
NOVEL SUPERCONDUCTOR-BASED LOW-LOSS PLASMONIC WAVEGUIDE
(2018-08-22)In this thesis, a novel plasmonic waveguide, with an insulator-superconductor (SC)-insulator (ISCI) configuration, was proposed and numerically investigated at telecommunication (TC) wavelength range. By optimizing the key ... -
Novel sustained release biodegradable drug delivery system for targeting chronic rhinosinusitis
(2014-08-21)Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a condition in which the nasal cavity and the paranasal sinuses become inflammed causing facial pressure, pain, headache, nasal obstruction and thick nasal discharge. CRS severely affects ... -
A Novel Theoretical Approach to Model Electronic Excitations in Molecular Crystals
(2021-08-12)Photon-induced electronic excitation of organic chromophores in molecular crystals has received much attention due to potential applications in organic electronics, optics, and biomedicine. Theoretical modeling can aid our ... -
A NOVEL TIME-DOMAIN DIAGNOSTIC METHOD FOR ECG SIGNAL SYSTEM BASED ON A SMART-PHONE
(2012-08-10)This thesis presents a novel method on a Smart-phone for ECG tele-monitoring signal analysis. The proposed system focuses on QRS complex detection, beat classi?cation and arrhythmias classi?cation. In the regular process, ... -
Novel unconditionally stable finite-difference time-domain method for electromagnetic and microwave modeling.
(Dalhousie University, 2001) -
A Novel Use of Optical Coherence Tomography for the Assessment of Ocular Torsion
(2019-07-30)Abnormal ocular torsion is most frequently the result paresis of the fourth cranial nerve. The presence of torsion can be a barrier to fusion, in which case, surgical intervention is required for a patient to have single ... -
NOz Interference in Measuring NO2 by Molybdenum Oxide Conversion and Chemiluminescence at a coastal site in Nova Scotia, Canada
(2017-08-29)The common method of monitoring NO2 (Nitrogen dioxide) in Canada may be subject to error by interference from other oxides of nitrogen. These other compounds are capable of causing instruments to over-report NO2 concentrations. ... -
NU Healing: Empowering the Margin(alized)
(2015)The correctional system in Nunavut ignores the systemic social dysfunction underlying criminality in the Territory that has been the result of several generations of social and cultural displacement. As a physical manifestation ... -
NUCLEAR CALCIUM DYNAMICS IN HIPPOCAMPAL NEURONS
(2016-07-12)Increasing evidence points to neuronal nuclear calcium signalling as a conduit between electrical activity and transcription-dependent changes, and it is possible that different mechanisms of nuclear calcium influx trigger ... -
Nuclear disarmament in international law.
(Dalhousie University, 1998) -
Nuclear magnetic resonance studies of homonuclear spin systems in solids.
(Dalhousie University, 1994) -
NUESTRA REVOLUCION NO SERA TELEVISADA: NEW FORMS OF EXPRESSION IN CUBA’S CIVIL SOCIETY
(2011-12-14)In an effort to expand the scholarship dealing with the topic of civil society in Cuba, this thesis deals with the question of Cuban civil society and its relationship with socially conscious underground musicians. It ... -
NUMERICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF BEHAVIOUR OF REINFORCED MASONRY COLUMNS
(2023-11-07)This study investigated the behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) masonry columns with an emphasis on assessing the moment magnifier method specified in the Canadian masonry design standard CSA S304-14 for design of masonry ... -
NUMERICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF GROUTED ROCK BOLTS AND THEIR DEFECTS USING ULTRASONIC GUIDED WAVES
(2013-05-23)A rock bolt installed in field has only one short exposed end on the rock surface. This condition has posed challenges in field instrumentation and made it difficult to use the ultrasonic guided wave method for rock bolt ... -
