Sources of student anger in schools
(1996)This study examined student anger. The students from grades eight through ten were asked, in focus groups, to identify what, in schools, made them respond with anger and how students responded to this anger. Common sources ... -
Sowingo : Promoting Innovations in Dental Office Inventory Management
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)Unhappy with erroneous and inefficient inventory management affecting his dental practice, Dr. Bhatti, a seasoned dentist, founded Sowingo in 2012 to create a solution tailor-made for busy health practitioners. Since then, ... -
Space shift keying in the presence of multiple co-channel interferers
(2016)In this thesis, the performance of Space Shift Keying (SSK) Modulation, a technique for Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) wireless communication systems is studied. The results are analyzed and compared assuming ... -
Spatial analysis in timber management planning
(1988)The objective of this thesis was to develop a spatially sound timber management strategy design tool. Long-range timber management modelling systems were identified as being limited by the inability to perform large-scale ... -
A spatial analysis of the relationship between forest demographic dynamics and diversity under climate change
(2023)Forest dynamics arise from three demographic processes simultaneously, namely recruitment, mortality and growth, all of which are expected to accelerate for the boreal forest under future climate change. Tree species ... -
Spatial and attentional influences on nonverbal magnitude discrimination in depressed and non-depressed individuals / by Stewart A. Madon.
(2008)Numbers have been called the universal language. Yet the psychophysical properties of numerosity remain elusive, particularly as they relate to clinical disorders such as depression. It is known that the estimation and ... -
Spatial genetic structure within four tamarack (Larix laricina (Du Roi) K. Koch) populations in Northwestern Ontario
(1989)This study was conducted to test the null hypothesis that tamarack (Larix laricina (Du Roi) K. Koch) populations are random assemblages of genotypes, and that this absence of pattern can be observed on sites with ... -
Spatial scaling in northern landscapes : habitat selection by small mammals
(1994)I examined a series of simple and repeated northern landscapes in the Hudson Bay Lowland of Ontario to document regional and local patterns of population abundance of red-backed voles {Clethrionomys gapperi). I tested ... -
Spatiotemporal effects of climate on the relationship between tree diversity and forest ecosystem functioning
(2020)Worldwide, forest ecosystem functioning and plant diversity have been altered by global environmental change. Understanding the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning with long-term environmental ... -
Speciation of aqueous hypercoordinated organosilicate complexes / by Jiali Wen.
(2007, c 20)Aqueous silicon chemistry plays a major and as yet unappreciated role in many fields of science. Emerging technologies such as the fabrication of biomimetic ceramics require a thorough understanding of all factors affecting ... -
Species diversity and aboveground productivity relationships in forest ecosystems
(2012-11-10)Empirical and theoretical studies have attributed the observed positive diversity-productivity relationship (DPR) across various ecosystems to a complementarity effect through niche differentiation and/or facilitation among ... -
Species relative abundance and aboveground biomass production driven by climate change and stand ageing
(2015)Understanding forest communities’ responses to climate change is central to global change ecology research. Access to large data sets from government sources has enabled extensive examinations of the effects of climate ... -
Species richness, species incidence and turnover of amphibians in Northwestern Ontario : assessing the role of habitat characteristics
(2004)There has been recent global concern over the decline of some amphibian populations. The loss of amphibian species is of concern because they play a crucial role in ecosystem structure and are indicators of ecosystem ... -
Specific binding sites for [H Dexamethasone and [H17B-Estradiol [17-Beta (Greek symbol)] in the hypothalamus of juvenile rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss
(1999)In bony fishes such as the rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, glucocorticoid (GC) and estrogenic hormones are associated with a variety of physiological functions. Most notable are effects of GCs which allow the animal ... -
Speed sensorless and MPPT control of IPM synchronous generator for wind energy conversion system
(2014-01-22)The popularity of renewable energy has experienced significant growth recently due to the foreseeable exhaustion of conventional fossil fuel power generation methods and increasing realization of the adverse effects that ... -
Spirituality in education : professorial viewpoints
(2006)There has been a dramatic rise in interest in spirituality over the last decade. Historically, universities began with a spiritual base. Today, superficially, education generally appears to have lost its spiritual emphasis. ... -
Sport in high school : the relationship of athletic participation, gender differences, and academic stream to self-esteem, academic achievement, and educational aspiration
(1997)The purpose of this study was to examine the interaction effects of athletic participation, gender, and academic stream with self-esteem, academic achievement, and educational aspiration. The sample (n=341) was drawn ... -
Sport perfectionism and risk factors of sport injury rehabilitation overadherence
(2018)Rehabilitation overadherence is a form of nonadherence in which individuals exceed practitioners’ guidelines regarding the rehabilitation of their injury, resulting in enhanced risk for re-injury and prolonged recovery ... -
Spotted knapweed plant management and restoration of native grassland in Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta
(2018)The province of Alberta is known for its prairies, which are ecosystems dominated by temperate grasslands. These grasslands contribute to flora and fauna biodiversity, but are the most endangered ecosystems in the region, ...
