Men's ability to detect cyclical changes in women's facial and bodily attractiveness / by Jennifer M. Patola.
(2008)Despite widespread beliefs to the contrary, recent evidence suggests that human ovulation is not completely hidden. There is some evidence that men may be able to detect physical changes across the menstrual cycle. ... -
Menstrual cycle, sex differences and sensitivity to intermittent light
Sex differences in critical flicker frequency (CFF) have been found by Hartmann (1934) and Ginsburg et al. (1982), with men appearing to be more sensitive than women* The nature of these sex differences has been questioned. ... -
Mental Health Literacy and Ontario Young People: Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder
(2016)This study examined the mental health literacy of a group of young people, with particular interest to their ability to correctly label, identify symptoms, and recommend appropriate help sources for Major Depressive ... -
Mental training for endurance sports
(2003)The effects of a cognitive behavioral mental training intervention on endurance performance were explored using a time lagged multiple baseline single subject design. Seven local and provincial level endurance athletes ... -
Mercury evolution and impacts of two hydrological dam - Three Gorges Dam and La Grande Dam
(2017)Hydrological dam are widely used to generate electricity. At present, hydrological power is deemed be clean energy, because it does not have greenhouse gas emission. However, many reports and researches show that ... -
Mesophilic submerged anaerobic membrane bioreactor for pulp and paper secondary sludge treatment
(2018)The production of pulp and paper is associated with the generation of large quantities of wastewater that has to be purified to avoid severe pollution of the environment. Wastewater purification in pulp and paper mills ... -
Meta-analysis of reported cross-country skiing injuries
(2002)The purpose of this study was to conduct a comprehensive quantitative meta-analysis including a qualitative assessment of studies reporting cross-country skiing injuries. To date there have been three comprehensive review ... -
Metaboreflex response to isometric handgrip exercise in people with Parkinson disease
(2007)The metaboreflex is a peripheral feedback mechanism involved in the neural regulation of cardiovascular response to exercise. In young, healthy adults, this reflex responds to the accumulation of exercise- induced ... -
Metal induced olfactory impairment in fish: gene expression, protection and recovery
(2014)To play their ecological role in an ecosystem, a fully functioning olfactory system is vital for fishes. A fish's olfactory system is very sensitive to low concentrations of contaminants. A great deal of research has ... -
Metapopulation viability analyses of woodland caribou in the Lake Superior range
(2022)Woodland caribou populations in the Lake Superior range have deteriorated. The caribou’s decline follows industry growth since the 1900s. Islands like those in Slate Islands Provincial Park, Michipicoten Island and Caribou ... -
Method for demonstrating aesthetic preferences within artistic pictures
(1985)Berlyne (I97I, pp. 28-29) acknowledged that "Reactions to artificially simple sights and sounds are admittedly a long way from appreciation of art." However, a concern regarding the use of art is an absence of control ... -
Method optimization and gene expression analysis for interferon Kappa mRNA in HPV-associated cervical disease / by Correne A. Decarlo.
(2008)Interferons (IFNs) are a common biological treatment option for many cancers as well as for human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated diseases, but current IFN treatments have not been optimized as disease progression subsists ... -
Methods for finding wolf (Canis lupus) kill sites using location clusters: a study in Grand Portage Indian Reservation, Minnesota
(2020)Wolves have profound effects on the ecosystems around them. As large carnivores, they can significantly manipulate ecosystems by controlling potentially overabundant ungulate populations. This study attempts to find predation ... -
Metrization and sigma bases
(1969)In this thesis, we use the concept of sigma base to study the metrizability of various topological spaces. Chapter 1 is devoted to the definition of basic terms, a proof of Urysohn's Metrization Theorem, and an introduction ... -
Microbial methylation of mercury in the North Harbour of Lake Superior
(2019)Mercury is a known contaminant in the North Harbour of Lake Superior due to the decommissioned “Thunder Bay Fine Papers” pulp and paper mill. The cause for concern for organisms in the lake and for humans occurs when ... -
Microbial production of value-added products from wood hemicellulose prehydrolysate
(2020)Hemicellulose, the second most abundant polymer in nature, has the great potential to be used for the production of biochemicals under the concept of biorefining. As hemicellulose is watersoluble, it can also be easily ... -
Microbial toxicity assessment and biodegradation of triclopyr using Arthrobacter globiformis and Pseudomonas pictorum
(1990)Triclopyr (3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinyloxyacetic acid) was investigated for biodegradation using Arthrobacter and Pseudomonas sp. bacteria. No evidence of the proposed major metabolite, 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol was found ... -
Microscopic modeling of high-field charge transport in amorphous selenium
(2014-01-22)Avalanche multiplication of charge carriers as a result of successive impact ionization has led to the development of solid state avalanche photo-detectors. Crystalline based avalanche photodiodes have found a variety of ... -
A Microstructural study of Musselwhite Mine and Hammond Reef shear-zone-hosted gold deposits
(2011)Musselwhite Mine and Hammond Reef are shear-zone-hosted gold deposits located in Northwestern Ontario, in the Western Superior Province of the Canadian Shield. A detailed microscopic investigation of three gold-hosting ... -
Microwave interferometer for measuring dielectric properties of low-loss solids
(1974)An X-band microwave bridge-interferometer is constructed for measuring the permittivity of solids. Using simple theory, the system is first tested with several materials of known permittivity (e.g. ertalon, plexiglas ...
