Apparent competition and the differing effects of generalist and specialist predators on cervid populations
(2020)Apparent competition is an important ecological function that has been extensively studied in wild cervid populations, but little is known about how to manage it or why some cervid populations are more affected by it ... -
Application and review of a strength-based program in classrooms with behavior disordered children
(2003)The strength perspective of psychology involves focusing on an individual’s resources rather than weaknesses. Recent studies have found that enhancing existing strengths achieves the same outcome as the deficit approach, ... -
Application of a physically based hydrological model on a semi-arid watershed in Northern Ghana
(1997)Land degradation in semi-arid environments is increasing due to rapid population growth, poor landuse practices and variable climate conditions. Landuse planners require a better understanding of the impact that proposed ... -
Application of a sequential partial extraction procedure to investigate uranium, copper, zinc, iron and manganese partitioning in recent lake, stream and bog sediments, northern Saskatchewan / by Douglas Andrew Warren Lehto. --
(1981)Sequential partial extractions show that partitioning of uranium, copper, zinc, iron and manganese into lake, stream and bog sediments are affected by the type and abundance of component fractions present in sediments ... -
Application of acceleration frequency domain factors in the analysis of headform impacts / by Evan Walsh.
(2008)This research thesis was composed of two studies. The first study was a pilot investigation to show evidence of the validity and reliability of the instruments and methodology used in the second, main investigation. The ... -
Application of artificial intelligence in fault detection and classification of solar power plants and prediction of power generation of combined cycled power plants
(2022)Solar energy is one of the most dependable renewable energy technologies, as it is feasible almost everywhere globally and is environmentally friendly. Photovoltaic-based renewable energy systems are highly susceptible ... -
Application of Biomass-based Fly Ash in the Pressate of a Thermomechanical Pulping Process
(2016)In the thermomechanical pulping (TMP) process wood chips are pretreated with steam prior to refining, and the resultant effluent (TMP pressate) is currently treated in the wastewater treatment facility of the pulp mill. ... -
Application of the transtheoretical model of change to binge eating and smoking
(1999)Applicability of the stage of change and decisional balance constructs for bingers and smokers was examined in a study of 191 participants; bingers (n = 47), smokers (n = 80), and controls (n = 64). The Stage of Change ... -
Application of UASs to augment ground surveys in cranberry agriculture development: a proof of concept for the integration of UAS into the site identification and monitoring of cranberry farms in Newfoundland
(2017)Assessing the potential for developing wetland environments into cranberry agricultural lands is time consuming and expensive. The addition of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) to augment current ground survey techniques has ... -
Application of Walki®Biomass cover as a better alternative to plastic mulching
(2022)Mulch is a material that works as a protective layer over the soil so as to retain water and prevent excess evaporation. They are either in the form of continuous sheets like plastic mulch or they come in a shredded form, ... -
Applications of chaos theory to history in the novels of Michael Ondaatje : disorder within order in The Collected Works of Billy the Kid, Coming Through Slaughter and In the Skin of a Lion
(2001)This is a thesis studying Literary Chaos Theory and its use in explicating the novels of Michael Ondaatje. The paper concentrates on elements of Chaos theory, such as ‘strange attractors,’ ‘bifurcation points’ and ... -
Applications of golay complementary sequences in mc-cdma and compressed sensing
(2012-11-10)This thesis consists of two separate topics involved with Golay complementary sequences. In the first part, we present results of an experimental investigation where the distribution of peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) ... -
Applications of satellite remote sensing to develop forest inventory for strategic-level planning
(2003)Forest inventory is the fundamental base information for most decision making processes in today’s forest management planning. Recently in Ontario, with increasing industrial involvement, new environmental and multiple ... -
Applying criteria and indicators to assess ecological integrity of a boreal national park and adjoining forest management units / by Andrew James Promaine.
(1999)Assessing and evaluating ecological integrity is a complex and often subjective task. However, recent legislative changes have forced ecosystem managers to develop more quantitative techniques to measure ecological ... -
Approach to predict nutrient status and growth response of fertilized jack pine by foliar diagnosis
(1979)A factorial experiment testing N, P and K fertilizers, and a series of simpler, two-treatment (control and NPK) fertilizer trials were established in a range of jack pine stands to determine the application of a foliar ... -
Approximate inverse based multigrid solution of large sparse linear systems
(1988)In this thesis we study the approximate inverse based multigrid algorithm FAPIN for the solution of large sparse linear systems of equations. This algorithm, which is closely related to the well known multigrid V-cycle, ... -
Apps for academic success: Developing digital literacy and awareness to increase usage
(IOS, 2017)As a consequence of the high adoption levels of mobile technology, users are increasingly accessing academic library-subscribed content via vendor-supplied mobile applications (apps) or responsive websites. However, users ... -
