Alienation, commitment and transcendence in three novels of Saul Bellow
(1977)The central point of this thesis is the theme of modern man's alienation from his surroundings as portrayed by Saul Bellow in three of his novels, Dangling Man, Henderson the Rain King and Humboldt's Gift. The individual ... -
The child, the family, and society in Ontario, 1850-1900, according to four educational journals
(1977)To understand the position of the child in Ontario between 1850 and 1900 is to know a great deal about the society in which he functioned. The status and role of the child was the most vital issue of the time. Social ... -
The Italian community in Fort William's East End in the early twentieth century
(1977)By the turn of the twentieth century in the midst of almost every significant urban centre of Canada and the United States, there existed a so-called "Little Italy" or "Italian Colony". These were sections of cities or ... -
Effects of cognitive strategies on the performance of athletes
(1977)The purpose of this thesis was to study the effects of various cognitive strategies on the treadmill running performance of intercollegiate wrestlers (N=12), The independent variables were the four cognitive strategies ... -
Finite element solutions to boundary value problems
(1977)The finite element solution of certain two-point boundary value problems is discussed. In order to obtain more accuracy than the linear finite element method can give, an order-h[superscript 4] global superconvergence ... -
Decomposition of 2-propanol over vanadium pentoxide and modified vanadium pentoxide catalysts
(1977)The catalytic decomposition of 2-propanol has been investigated in a flow system from 200-300°C on vanadium pentoxide and modified vanadium pentoxide catalysts. Dehydration, dehydrogenation and propane formation were ... -
Relaxation processes in polystyrene matrices
(1977)Dielectric absorption of aromatic and aliphatic molecules containing the rotatable substituent group and of some analogous rigid molecules in $olutions of polar solutes dispersed in an atactic polystyrene matrix are ... -
Structure and reactivity studies of simple phospholes
(1977)Newer techniques of phosphole synthesis, particularly those which lead to simple phospholes substituted with active functional groups, are briefly surveyed. A detailed account of chemical, physico-chemical, spectroscopic ... -
Dielectric studies of molecular and intramolecular motions in polystryrene matrices
(1977)Dielectric absorption studies of a variety of polar solutes containing rotatable groups and of some analogous rigid molecules dispersed in atactic polystyrene have been carried out. Preparation of the solutions as solid ... -
Photolysis of para-substituted styrene polymers
(1977)This thesis describes the photolysis of para-substituted styrene polymers. Poly(vinylacetophenone), poly(p-bromostyrene), poly(p-chlorostyrene), poly(p-fluorostyrene), poly(p-isopropylstyrene), poly(p-methoxystyrene), ... -
Triangular finite element solution to boundary value problems
(1977)This Thesis discusses the triangular finite element solution to second order elliptic boundary value problems. The Barycentric Coordinate system, which some engineers call the areal coordinate system, is used throughout ... -
Heavy metal accumulation in a feather moss, Pleurozium schreberi, and soils in Northwestern Ontario
(1977)It has been determined that carpet-forming mosses are good indicators of heavy metal deposition, since they are dependent on their supply of nutrients from above rather than from the substrate. Samples of the common ... -
Relationship of lower limb flexibility, strength, and anthropometric measures to skating speed in varsity hockey players
(1977)The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship of flexibility, strength and anthropometric measurements of the lower limbs to the skating speed of hockey players. Seventeen university varsity hockey players ... -
Effects of depressed pH on survival, growth and reproduction of brook trout, Salvelinus fontinalis (Mitchill)
(1977)Brook trout were continuously exposed to depressed pH values from 4.0 to 6.0, at 0.5 unit Intervals during a nine-month partial-chronic bloassay. At all pH levels above 4.0, Juvenile fish exhibited greater than 96 per ... -
Elastic and inelastic scattering of conduction electrons from oscillating impurities in semiconductors
(1977)Elastic scattering and inelastic scattering of conduction electrons by oscillating ionized impurities in semiconductors have been analyzed on the assumption that the scattering potential is the Coulomb potential between ... -
Studies in the coordination chemistry of phospholes
(1977)The chemical, physicochemical, theoretical and metal coordination studies of phospholes which have so far appeared in the literature are reviewed briefly with particular reference to the electronic structure of the ... -
Effects of two training methods on flexibility
(1977)The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of two different flexibility training methods, 3S (Scientific Stretching for Sport) and SS (Slow Active Stretching). Warmup effects, differential joint responses, and ... -
Reactions of sodium tetrahydroborate with metal ions in the presence of nitrogen donor ligands
(1977, c197)The work described in this thesis is part of an ongoing effort in these laboratories to determine in more detail how a variety of factors, particularly the nature of added ligands, affects the type of products and the ... -
The enigma of Daphnia death rates
(American Society of Limnology and Oceanography, 1978)Birth rates, rates of population change, and mortality rates were computed for Daphnia pulex and Daphnia rosea collected at three separate stations in 2.5-ha meromictic Crawford Lake. Birth and death rates for the same ...
