With the perpetual advancements in technology and communication the focus and obsession of architectural critique has become surfi cially focused on building “image”. This focus on image of architecture has taken away from the true meaning and focus of what architecture is, space and experience. Although most talks today are focused on image, there are a handful of architects that push for a more phenomenological approach. In the design process, they think more of how a space will feel and stimulate the senses, enrich a viewer’s experience and strengthen the relationship of the space to the context beyond. This thesis attempts to develop methods and concepts that focus on the study of site based phenomena. This thesis attempts to fi nd design processes that will see buildings conceptually conceived from their sites rather than merely placed upon them. The development of these methods and processes is the primary concern of the thesis. It uses Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia as a laboratory for testing.

<p> The Meguma Group is situated in the southeastern and southwestern regions of Nova Scotia. The Meguma Group is divided into two formations: the Goldenville and the Halifax. Both formations are comprised of A and E divisions of the Bouma sequence. Thus, the Meguma Group is a turbidite deposit. Auriferous quartz veins strike parallel to bedding and occur between the lower Bouma cycle's E division and the overlying Bouma cycle's A division. The development of bedding-parallel veins was due to hydraulic fracturing of the Bouma units.</p> <p> The bedding-parallel quartz veins were emplaced at low temperatures, from 260°C to 300°C. The fluid which precipitated the gold-arsenopyrite-quartz veins consisted of a divalent cation salt species (MgCl2) and hydrosulphide ligands which were the main complexing agent of gold.</p> <p> Gold was precipitated due to the reduction of sulphide ligands as they came into contact with the organic-rich slates of the E division of the Bouma sequence. Sulphide reduction was not complete, thus a large concentration of gold remained in solution later to be precipitated with arsenic in arsenopyrite.</p> / Thesis / Bachelor of Science (BSc)

Mesidotea entomon inhabiting Pauline Cove, YT, is larger in total body length at sexual maturity than M. entomon inhabiting Dolomite Lake, NWT. The sex ratio, diet, habitat distributions, size frequency distributions, and fecundity in the two populations are compared. Total carbohydrate, protein, lipid, chitin, and ash contents of both isopods' life stages are compared. Isopods in the cove show reduced carbohydrate and elevated lipid levels. In the 1975, 1978, and 1979 summers, isopods in the cove were internally infected with an extracellular protozoan parasite; those in the lake were uninfected. The infection is systemic. The prevalence of the protozoan infection increases with increasing host size. The host response involved phagocytosis and encapsulation. Transmission may be transovarially and/or by ingestion of the infective stage. The protozoan also infected Mesidotea sibirica. The infection is related to growth, abundance, habitat, reproduction, and biochemical variables.
