Investigation and optimization of group III-N semiconductor thin-film growths using DC nitrogen plasma
(2019)The Lakehead University remote plasma-enhanced metalorganic chemical vapour deposition (RPE-MOCVD) reactor utilizes nitrogen plasma to provide the required nitrogen species in group III-N semiconductor material growth. ... -
Investigation and performance characteristics of a hybrid solar photovoltaic-thermoelectric power generation renewable energy system
(2015)Increasing fossil fuel prices, electricity demand, and global concern for greenhouse gas emissions have increased interest and research of novel renewable energy technologies. Renewable solar-photovoltaic (PV) systems are ... -
Investigation into the attention profile of boys with and without Developmental Coordination Disorder / by Laura Anne Sheehan.
(2009)Attention problems have been identified as an associated problem in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), using the Child Behaviour Checklist, and the Covert Orienting of Visuospatial Attention Task. ... -
Investigation into the ecological costs of sea lamprey control on lake sturgeon and ammocoete predators using olfactory techniques
(2015)Fish that feed or travel in low light conditions particularly rely on their chemical senses, such as olfaction, for survival. Exposure to toxicants at concentrations lower than those causing mortality can have detrimental ... -
An investigation into the local and traditional knowledge of the Saugeen Ojibway Nation regarding the status of ciscoes (Coregonus spp.) in Lake Huron
(2020)The ciscoes (Coregonus spp.) of Lake Huron are a poorly understood group of fish that have experienced declines in population numbers and a collapse of their ecological communities. Ciscoes are culturally and socio-economically ... -
Investigation into the use of ELG for stand alone power system frequency control
(2006)The use of ELG for stand alone power system frequency control is investigated in this thesis. Characteristics of a stand alone power system with PCR-ELG are presented. Dynamic simulation of the system is developed using ... -
Investigation of adaptive variation of black spruce in 29-year height growth of Black Spruce in a northwestern Ontario provenance trial
(2023)Seed sources from across northwestern Ontario were used to establish a black spruce provenance trial at the former Thunder Bay Forest Nursery located on 25th Sideroad, Thunder Bay. The heights of these trees were measured ... -
Investigation of age-related changes in responsiveness of mirror neuron systems using fMRI
(2016)Observational learning, or the ability to learn a new skill by watching that same skill being performed by others, is one of the fundamental principles of motor learning. It is believed to be driven by a neural network ... -
Investigation of an epidemic of balsam poplar leaf blotch miner, Phyllonoricter Nipigon, (Leptidoptera: Gracilleriidae) in Thunder Bay, Ontario
(2019)In the summer of 2018, an outbreak of Phylonorycter nipigon, commonly known as the balsam poplar leaf blotch miner, was identified on the Lakehead University campus in Thunder Bay, Ontario. All balsam poplar and trembling ... -
Investigation of anthropometric, physiological and strength responses of physically disabled adult male wheelchair basketball players during training
(1983)The purpose of this study was to monitor anthropometric, physiological and strength responses of six physically disabled adult male wheelchair basketball players during training. An intrasubject case study research ... -
Investigation of automatic and recollective memory in phonological association
(2001)Two experiments manipulated the study variables associative pairing, attention, and modality, in an attempt to produce process dissociations (Jacoby, 1991) between estimates of recollective and automatic memory in a ... -
Investigation of capacitor voltage balancing issues in a five-level inverter with multicarrier modulation schemes
(2023)Five-level inverters are widely used in medium-voltage (MV) wind energy and electric drive systems. However, the use of a large number of components (including passive and active components) and complex control methods ... -
Investigation of change/stability in WAIS-R scores for 16 year olds over an 18 month period
(1992)This study used a test-retest paradigm to investigate change/stability in Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised scores of 16 and 17 year olds. Both short (3 month) and long (18 month) retest intervals were investigated ... -
Investigation of commodities trading of pulp with a focus on China and Canada
(2017)Canada is the current largest supplier of pulp products in China. However, the current international wood pulp market exists several challenges. The quantity of exported pulp and pulp production in Canada is represented ... -
