Human trafficking in Canada crisis or confusion : an examination of Canada's trafficking legislation and the development of a social crisis
(2012-11-10)Since the implementation of Canada's domestic human trafficking legislation in 2005, the media, police, and government agencies have paid increasing attention to this issue. Using a social constructionist approach, ... -
Human-animal divide : anthropocentrism and education
(2007)This thesis is devoted to exploring anthropocentrism, the concept of human-centredness, as it relates to humans, animals, and education. Employing the philosophical research method of conceptual analysis and working with ... -
Humoral immune responding of the albino rat during phases of the estrous cycle
(1995)The relationship between estrous phase and immune response in female rats was studied using two designs. In the between subjects design, groups of five rats were tested for antigen binding capacity and estrous phase on ... -
Humoral immunity in patients with chronic kidney disease and their response to pneumococcal immunization
(2020)In northwestern Ontario the Indigenous First Nations (FN) population have an increased prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD). There is an increased rate of infectious disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae ... -
A hybrid approach to condition assessment of paved roads
(2021)Road reconstruction is drastically more expensive than an appropriate maintenance program. Performing targeted maintenance requires a comprehensive inventory of road conditions. To create and maintain a road condition ... -
A hybrid prognostic approach for battery health monitoring and remaining-useful-life prediction
(2021)Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are commonly used in various industrial and domestic applications, such as portable communication devices, medical equipment, and electric vehicles. However, the Li-ion battery performance ... -
Hydraulic and dynamic assessment of triangular labyrinth weirs and wier-pool type fishways
(2019)The hydraulic performance of traditional labyrinth weirs has been extensively studied in the literature. The research outcomes indicated that labyrinth weirs have many hydraulic advantages to pass more flow with a constant ... -
Hydrodeoxygenation process for converting glycerol into bio-crude / by Matthew A. Tymchyshyn.
(2010)"Bio-energy is a clean (containing negligible sulfur and being near-carbon neutral), renewable and abundant source of energy. Bio-energy can be a potential alternative to fossil fuels for the production of energy and ... -
Hydrogen sulfide modulates gluconeogenesis and mitochondrial biogenesis in mouse primary hepatocytes
(2016)Among many endogenous substances that regulate hepatic energy production is the gasotransmitter hydrogen sulfide (H2S). In the liver, H2S production is largely catalyzed by cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE) and, to a lesser ... -
Hydrolysis of silicone polymers in aqueous systems
(2001)Silicon-29 and 'H NMR spectroscopy were used to investigate the hydrolysis of methyl silicones in a variety of aqueous environments. Dilute acid, dilute base and one or more of the dissolved constituents of blood plasma ... -
Hydromapping Tool Creation for Sprat Lake Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) Surface From Motion Analysis; A Proactive Approach to Reduce Potential Mercury Fluxes Following Forest Harvesting By Using Variable Retention Buffers and Preplanned Machine Travel Corridors
(2017)There has been an increase in the awareness and concern regarding mercury contamination in Northwestern Ontario fish. Wetland and low laying areas are considered hotspots for methylmercury production which, when disturbed ... -
Hydrostatic pressure effect on the electrical conductivity of indium antimonide
(1976)The electrical conductivity of n-type InSb in the temperature range 77K - 300K has been calculated by using the Boltzmann equation with a relaxation time ansatz. The tv/o dominant scattering mechanisms in this temperature ... -
Hydrostatic pressure effect on the Gunn threshold electric effect in n-InSb
(1978)The Gunn effect as a function of pressure has been studied in n~type InSb. The Gunn threshold field is found to decrease with increasing pressure reaching a minimum at P ~ 9 kbars. It then increases while the oscillations ... -
"I was a good girl when he married me" : issues of respectability and gender in a Northern Ontario murder trial / by Cheryl Elizabeth Shaw.
(2007)At the heart of this thesis is a trial, R. v. Clara Irene St. Cyr. In 1948 Clara was a thirty-two year old mother of six. Bom in St. Lucie, Quebec but raised in Gogama, Ontario, she was eighteen when she met Jerome “Jerry” ... -

(2006)This thesis examines the construction of the gangster figure as embodied by Michael Corleone in Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather, The Godfather Part II and The Godfather Part III. The examination of Michael is ... -
Identification of boreal mixedwood forest structure cohorts in Northwestern Ontario using Ontario's forest resource inventory, Abitibi-Bowater's continuous forest inventory and stepwise discriminant function analysis
(2009)A model was developed to determine if Ontario's Forest Resource Inventory (FRI) could be used to classify boreal mixedwood stands in northwestern Ontario into structural cohorts as proposed in the Multi Cohort Forest ...
