USE OF OIL, SOLVENT-EXTRACTED MEAL AND PROTEIN CONCENTRATE FROM CAMELINA (CAMELINA SATIVA L. CRANTZ) FOR SALMONIDS AT THE EARLY LIFE STAGE
(2018-08-14)Studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of using camelina products including camelina oil (CO), solvent-extracted camelina meal (SECM) and camelina protein concentrate (CPC) as feed ingredients for salmonid fish at ... -
Use of Online Monitoring Instrumentation for Coagulation Optimization
(2014-12-11)Maintenance of optimal water treatment plant (WTP) performance in the presence of rapidly changing raw water quality (e.g. rainfall events and snowmelts) has been shown to be challenging for coagulation/flocculation based ... -
The Use of Population Connectivity in the Design of Networks of Marine Protected Areas
(2023-12-14)Ecological connectivity, the exchange of individuals among spatially fragmented habitats, is an important criterion in the design of networks of marine protected areas (MPAs). However, there are gaps in taxonomic and ... -
Use of Pump-down Tests to Infer Hydraulic Resistance of Wastewater Forcemains
(2022-12-03)Forcemains are an integral part of sewerage systems. However, they deteriorate, occlude, and become faulty with time. Owners of small lift-stations often cannot afford sophisticated supervisory control and data acquisition ... -
THE USE OF RADIUM ISOTOPES TO INVESTIGATE BOUNDARY EXCHANGES IN COASTAL OCEAN SYSTEMS
(2015-04-07)Coastal seas are of major economic and social importance for the majority of the human population, and are amongst the most biologically and geochemically active areas of the biosphere. Coastal systems are also highly ... -
USE OF RHEO-NMR T2 RELAXATION TIMES TO ESTIMATE TEMPERATURES IN A STANDARD NEWTONIAN OIL UNDER SHEAR FLOW
(2018-03-16)Viscous heating is significant in materials processed at high shear rates. The objectives of this thesis were to a) determine how the NMR relaxation time T2 of a Newtonian standard changes with temperature; b) use the T2 ... -
The Use of Selected Phytochemicals to Control Listeria monocytogenes; Practical Applications in Food Safety
(2021-01-07)Listeria monocytogenes is an important foodborne pathogen found in minimally processed foods, such as dairy products. To improve detection methods, phytochemicals were screened against L. monocytogenes and L. innocua. ... -
THE USE OF SELECTED RED MACROALGAE (SEAWEEDS) FOR THE REDUCTION OF SALMONELLA ENTERITIDIS IN POULTRY
(2017-04-03)Red seaweeds are rich in bioactive compounds and secondary metabolites that are known to improve human and animal health. Seaweeds are commercially harvested along Pacific and Atlantic coasts of Canada for a wide range of ... -
Use of Soil Nails to Mitigate Infiltration-Induced Slope Failure
(2023-12-12)Natural and man-made slopes are ubiquitous geotechnical structures found in a variety of contexts, such as roads, dams, canals, mines, and riverbanks. The stability of these slopes is critical for the protection of ... -
THE USE OF STRESS TRAJECTORY IN PREDICTING FRACTURE PROPAGATION PATH AROUND INJECTOR AND PRODUCER WELLS
(2023-08-30)It is well documented both in the field and in laboratory experiments that hydraulic fracture could deviate from its original plane of propagation, typically parallel to the direction of the maximum principal stress, due ... -
Use of visual data in benthic enrichment classification
(2014-12-15)Artificial eutrophication continues to be a primary concern associated with aquaculture practices. In Canada, monitoring benthic health in response to organic enrichment is used to manage these impacts and maintain the ... -
The use of waking and hypnotic suggestions to change behaviour.

User Comprehension of Password Reuse Risks and Mitigations in Password Managers
(2020-04-08)Passwords are a familiar and cheap way to authenticate the users of online services. Most users have many online accounts, but just a few unique passwords, resorting to strategies for the creation and recall of passwords ... -
USER PERSPECTIVES ON A SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROJECT: ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF EMPOWER PLAYGROUND’S PLAY SYSTEMS ON THE PEDIATORKOPE ISLAND IN GHANA
(2016-09-01)Ghana has challenges with providing reliable access to electricity for its citizens. Sporadic power outages mean that for many hours during the day, households, businesses and industries have limited or no access to ... -
A USER-CENTERED APPROACH IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN EHEALTH SLEEP INTERVENTION FOR ADOLESCENTS WITH AND WITHOUT RECURRENT PAIN
(2021-08-25)Healthy sleep is critical for adolescents’ functioning. However, 25% of adolescents report sleeping less than the recommended 8-10 hours a night. Sleep and recurrent pain often occur together in adolescents, both negatively ... -
A USER-CENTERED APPROACH TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN ELEARNING PROGRAM FOR CLASSROOM TEACHERS OF STUDENTS WITH DISRUPTIVE CLASSROOM BEHAVIOUR
(2022-04-12)Disruptive classroom behaviour (DCB) is highly prevalent and has a highly negative impact. There are evidence-based interventions (EBIs) for DCB, but there are barriers to their use in the inclusive classroom. The objective ... -
Using a slotted queuing model to predict the Operational Performance of Collaborative Emergency Centres
(2016-04-27)Nova Scotia has developed a novel way to manage Emergency Department patients in small communities during overnight hours. Using a paramedic and a RN, who are in contact with a doctor over the phone, staff are able to ... -
