USING PHYSICAL PRINCIPLES TO ENHANCE THE MEASUREMENT, INTERPRETATION AND UNDERSTANDING OF SOIL RESPIRATION
(2014-08-21)Atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) play an extremely important role in regulating Earth’s climate system. Researchers need to understand how GHGs are produced at a process-level in order to predict ... -
Using R and Latex to Develop Automated Wait Time Report Generator for Nova Scotia Screening Program
(2012-05-28)According to the Nova Scotia Breast Screening Program, with the presence of long waiting time lists there is an increasing need for automatic analysis methods to determine the causes of its existence. The AutoReport Generator ... -
Using Rescorla’s truly random control condition to measure truly exogenous covert orienting
(2021-07-28)Studies of exogenous covert orienting use peripheral cues (stimuli) that are spatially uninformative about the locations of subsequent targets. When the time course of the cue’s influence on performance is explored (by ... -
Using SCUBA to place upper limits on arcsecond scale CMB anisotropies at 850 microns
(1999-09-19)The SCUBA instrument on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope has already had an impact on cosmology by detecting relatively large numbers of dusty galaxies at high redshift. Apart from identifying well-detected sources, such ... -
Using Seismic Noise to Monitor COVID-19 Societal Response in Halifax
(2022-04)Seismometers record signals from more than just earthquakes. Cultural noise, high-frequency seismic noise generated from human activities (e.g., traffic) produces a distinct diurnal signature in frequencies above 1 Hz due ... -
Using small, temporary seismic networks for investigating tectonic deformation: Brittle deformation and evidence for strike-slip faulting in Bhutan
(2007-07)We processed data from a small, five-station temporary seismic network deployed from January 2002 until March 2003 within the Kingdom of Bhutan. We detected, associated, and located approximately 2,100 teleseismic, regional, ... -
USING SMARTPHONE TO PREVENT KEYLOGGING AND SHOULDER SURFING
(2017-12-12)Intruders have developed many methods to obtain sensitive information- some of the information is private and confidential such as username and password. Although strong cryptographic algorithms and authentication schemes ... -
Using Social Media Data to Improve Navigation within Websites
(2015-04-08)People often use navigation mechanisms such as menus, search, links and browser tools to find information within websites. The purpose of this research was to explore how user-generated content on social media can be used ... -
Using social media for youth political engagement

USING THE DYNAMIC GAS DISENGAGEMENT TECHNIQUE TO CHARACTERIZE GAS/LIQUID CONTACTING IN MICROBUBBLE-AERATED COLUMNS
(2021-12-14)Gas-liquid contacting plays a significant role in the chemical, petrochemical, mineral processing, and biochemical industries, where it is encountered in a wide range of operations. Generally, high volumetric mass transfer ... -
Using The Nitrification Inhibitor 3, 5-dimethylpyrazole To Determine Net Nitrogen Mineralization and Denitrification Rates Simultaneously At Varying Water Contents
(2017-03-31)An investigation of the use of a nitrification inhibitor (NI) to simultaneously measure the rates of net nitrogen (N) mineralization, as an accumulation of ammonium (NH4+), and denitrification, as a loss of nitrate (NO3-) ... -
Using the Sustainable Livelihood Approach to inform the development of a multispecies fishery management plan
(2011-10-18)The Paqtnkek Mi’kmaw Nation would like to develop a livelihood fishery to sustain a moderate livelihood. The Sustainable Livelihood Framework guided the identification of challenges and opportunities that the Paqtnkek ... -
USING THE ZEBRAFISH MODEL TO DETERMINE THE ROLE OF THE HACE1 TUMOUR SUPPRESSOR IN NORMAL DEVELOPMENT AND TUMOURIGENESIS
(2011-12-19)HACE1 is a tumour suppressor gene located at human chromosome 6q21. HACE1 is downregulated in Wilms’ tumour as well as several other human cancers. Its role in normal development remains unknown. The zebrafish has established ... -
Using the Zebrafish to Investigate the Role of the NUP98-NSD1 Oncogene and Loss of NUP98 in High-Risk Pediatric Acute Myeloid Leukemia
(2018-09-28)Many genetic mutations lead to acute myeloid leukemia (AML), including the translocation NUP98-NSD1 (NND1), which is found primarily in pediatric AML and causes high-risk disease. There is currently no animal model of the ... -
Using the δ18O-Salinity Relationship to Identify Freshwater Inputs to a North Atlantic Estuary
(2015-05-01)The δ18O-Salinity relationship allows us to define distinct end members in Bedford Basin, a system supplied by the North Atlantic Ocean. An isotopic analysis was performed on water in and around Bedford Basin to resolve ... -
USING TIME SERIES AND MULTIVARIATE TECHNIQUES TO ANALYZE CHANGES IN THE OCEAN NITROGEN CYCLE THROUGHOUT HISTORY
(2014-08-25)Nitrogen is a limiting resource in marine ecosystems that directly impacts the productivity of marine life. Values of δ15N extracted from down core sediments are used as a proxy measure of nitrogen in past marine ... -
USING TOUCH GESTURES TO RECORD AND RECOGNIZE EMOTIONS
(2017-04-05)In this thesis, we explore how people use touchscreens to express emotional intensity, and whether these intensities can be understood by oneself later or by others. We conducted a four-week participatory-design activity ... -
