Tree species diversity and stability in disturbance-driven boreal forest
(2016)Disturbance is a potent driver of forests. Components of disturbance such as frequency (i.e., time since last stand-replacing disturbance) and intensity (e.g., stand-replacing vs. non-stand-replacing disturbance) plays ... -
Trends and variability of temperature and precipitation in Northwestern Ontario during the 20th century : implications for forest management
(2000)Time series of temperature and rainfall in Northwestern Ontario are joined and adjusted to provide a database for analysis of regional climate change. Processes used to locate and adjust for non-climatic discontinuities ... -
Trends in growth and soil nutrients following fire and logging
(2016)Understanding the impact of natural and anthropogenic disturbance on soil fertility and tree growth is critical to the sustainability of forest management, yet there remains much uncertainty regarding how both harvesting ... -
Triangular finite element solution to boundary value problems
(1977)This Thesis discusses the triangular finite element solution to second order elliptic boundary value problems. The Barycentric Coordinate system, which some engineers call the areal coordinate system, is used throughout ... -
Tribunal of the mind : images of justice in The faerie queene
(1975)This thesis surveys the action and structure of Spenser's The Faerie Queene from the perspective of the ideal of justice. Its basic assumption is that fundamentally the poem is an account of the quest for justice in three ... -

(2009)Outbreaks of infectious diseases, such as SARS have highlighted the importance of infection prevention and control practices. Diseases such as tuberculosis (TB) continue to persist and pose a threat if not understood and ... -
Tunable high-power fiber laser and its application to produce Brillouin fiber lasers
(2012-11-10)A tunable continuous wave single-longitudinal-mode fiber laser is proposed and developed. A saturable absorber, as well as, an all-fiber Fabry-Perot filter was used in the laser cavity to reduce mode-hopping. The laser ... -
A Tunable high-static-low-dynamic-stiffness isolator and a fuzzy-neural network based active control isolator
(2009)Excessive vibration can be detrimental to a wide variety of structures and machines. Vibration isolation is an effective means to suppress vibration. This study focuses on development of some new techniques to improve ... -
Tweezing and Manipulating Nanomaterials on Tapered Optical Fiber to Develop SurfaceEnhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) Substrate
(2020)A compact and cost-effective fiber-based probe was manufactured for the detection of chemicals at low concentrations using Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS). Multi-mode optical fiber was tapered with a dynamic ... -
Two-and four-subtest short forms of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale - revised : a comparative study with normals
(1994)The concurrent validity of WAIS-R short forms was evaluated in a sample of normal subjects. The accuracy of short form IQ estimates from a standard administration was compared with the accuracy of an IQ estimate when ... -
A two-study investigation into the link between rumination and night eating, and symptom improvement following a mindfulness-based intervention
(2021)Night eating syndrome (NES) is characterized by a circadian delay in eating and nocturnal awakenings with ingestions. Its onset is related to stress and the syndrome is linked to depressed mood, anxiety, sleep problems, ... -
Type A behavior pattern : relationship to personality and psychopathology
(1983)Controversy exists around whether the Jenkins Activity Survey (JAS), a questionnaire measuring the Type A coronary-prone behavior pattern, correlates with measures of pathology. The present study investigated this ... -
Type A behavior pattern, frustration and aggression
(1984)Experimental studies have shown Type A Behavior Pattern individuals to be more aggressive than Type B's. The primary purpose of this study was to examine whether increased frustration in response to task failure offers ... -
Type A personality and heart rate perception
(1985)The present study sought to replicate previous findings on the discrepancy between Type A's self-reporting of stress and their physiological arousal. An attempt was also made to clarify whether this discrepancy was due ... -
Ubiquitin metabolism in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
(1995)This work characterizes parameters of ubiquitin metabolism in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Dangeard growing under constant conditions and after an exposure to cold shock. Ratio of free and conjugated ubiquitin to total ...
