Interprofessional care in a community mental health outpatient program: client outcomes at discharge and follow-up
(2013-02-03)Increased collaboration between health professionals has been identified as a means of improving the quality of client care while operating within the constraints of a publicly funded health care system. One such model of ... -
Interspecific interactions modulate social foraging behaviour and habitat use in a neotropical migratory warbler species during its nonbreeding period
(2022)Spatial and temporal variation in biotic and abiotic conditions in any foraging environment prompts individuals to modify their strategies of space use and behavioral responses such as going from solitary to social ... -
Interval-based uncertain reasoning
(1996)This thesis examines three interval based uncertain reasoning approaches: reasoning under interval constraints, reasoning using necessity and possibility functions, and reasoning with rough set theory. In all these ... -
Intra-lake and inter-lake variation in copper tolerance in Daphnia from clean and metal-contaminated lakes
(2014-01-22)The freshwater invertebrate Daphnia can persist in historically metal-contaminated lakes due to its ability to adapt to metal contamination. Since different Daphnia isolates have been shown to have varying degrees of ... -
Intra-limb coordination and control in individuals with stroke. Conceptual and methodological considerations
(2022)Stroke results in substantial difficulties in reaching and grasping actions, which may emerge at different levels of coordination and control, in both the spatial and temporal domains. In the context of motor control, ... -
An intra-site spatial analysis of the Late Paleoindian Mackenzie I Site (DdJf-9), near Thunder Bay, Ontario
(2015)This thesis presents the results of the intra-site spatial analysis of the Mackenzie I (DdJf-9) Late Paleoindian site, located ~30 kilometers east of Thunder Bay, Ontario. The Mackenzie I assemblage consisted of a wide ... -
Intraspecific height variation of white spruce provenances in Ontario
(2020)Provenance tests in Ontario have been used for decades to evaluate the optimal seed sources for different environments. Understanding the genetics, adaptations and selection pressures of tree species using provenance ... -
Introduction to the legacy forest small streams study : runoff patterns and related biogeochemistry on the western portion of the boreal shield
(2007)The Forest Watershed and Riparian Disturbance (FORWARD) Project is an ongoing study initiated on the western Boreal Plain (northwestern Alberta) in 2001 to incorporate hydrologic processes into industrial forest management. ... -
Inuit visions for schooling in one Nunavut community
(2009-06-25)This descriptive case study explores Inuit visions for schooling in a remote community in the Qikiqtani (formerly Baffin) Region of Nunavut. I use information from interviews, casual conversations, observations, and a ... -
Inuit youth migration from Iqaluit to Ottawa
(2009)With a public perception that Inuit youth are leaving the North, it is important to improve our understanding of migration in the Circumpolar North. The purpose of this pilot study is to identify, investigate and critically ... -
The invasion of dreissenid mussels into Lake Simcoe and their effect on benthic invertebrates
(2021)The establishment of dreissenid mussels (zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha and the quagga mussel Dreissena rostriformis bugensis) in Lake Simcoe in 1997 and 2008, respectively, in Lake Simcoe has drastically altered ... -
The invasion of garlic mustard in North America and control measures
(2022)The purpose of this report is to investigate the impact of garlic mustard invasion on forest and control measures. Invasive species often cause harm to local ecosystems. Garlic mustard is an invasive herb native to Europe ... -
Invasive plant cover and density following emerald ash borer-induced mortality in southern Ontario forests
(2022)The emerald ash borer has caused widespread ash mortality in eastern North American forests, where forest managers are also facing challenges due to invasions of undesirable exotic plant species. This study aims to explore ... -
Invasive plant species management for the city of Thunder Bay
(2020)Non-native plant species are being introduced into new environments at an increasing rate due to globalization and increased levels of trade. As such, the field of invasive plant management must constantly evolve in order ... -
Invasive species along road segments and recommendations for remediation
(2019)This literature review specifically looks at roads segments as facilitators for non-native invasive plant species. There are three types of roads presented throughout this paper; primary regionally paved roads; secondary ... -
Invasive spiny water flea (Bythotrephes cederströmii) and their impacts on young-of-year walleye (Sander vitreus) growth
(2022)Invasive species are a major threat to aquatic ecosystems, costing an estimated $3.6 billion in impacts across Ontario. In particular, the predatory cladoceran Bythotrephes cederströmii (Bythotrephes hereafter) has had ... -
