Gendering the muse : reinscriptions of patriarchal authority and the delegitimization of female authorship in selected Stephen King works

Mertson, Jillian Leigh (2009-04)

This thesis examines representations of masculinity and authority in selected Stephen Kings works: On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft, Bag of Bones, Misery, and The Tommyknockers. These texts reinscribe writing and authority ...

Genecology of jack pine in north central Ontario

Van Niejenhuis, Annette (1995)

To understand the pattern of adaptive variation of jack pine in north central Ontario better, short-term provenance tests were established. Seed was collected from 64 sites to the east and west of Lake Nipigon and grown ...

Genecology, patterns of adaptive variation and a comparison of focal point seed zone development methodologies for white spruce (Picea glauca)

Lesser, Mark Richard (2005)

Ecologically based management of white spruce (Picea glauca [Moench] Voss.) requires an understanding of its patterns of adaptive variation. Six common garden trials and a greenhouse trial established in 2002 and 2003 ...

Generalizability of the guidance hypothesis to a brief acquisitions phase

Williams, Kimberley Ann (1992)

Three experiments were conducted to Investigate the generality of the guidance hypothesis to a brief practice (acquisition) session. Three research paradigms were studied consistent with those outlined by Schmidt ...

Genetic and environmental variation in seed, cone and progeny characteristics of black spruce clones in a northern Ontario seed orchard

Stoehr, Michael U. (1985)

Genetic and environmental variance in cone and seed properties and early progeny growth of Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P. clones were evaluated using cones and seed from two to three ramets of 19 clones each growing in a ...

Genetic diversity and colonization patterns of Onnia tomentosa and Phellinus tremulae (Hymenochaetaceae, Aphyllophorales) in the boreal forest near Thunder Bay, northwestern Ontario

Hoegy, Zachary R. W. (2016)

Forest health is impacted greatly by fungi, particularly those that cause disease in living trees. By examining genetic diversity within populations of pathogenic fungi and their patterns of colonization it is possible to ...

The genetic diversity of eastern North American tree species as related to the extent of their spatial distribution during the Last Glacial Maximum

Timms, Robin J. P. (2020)

The distribution of boreal and temperate species during the last glacial maximum (LGM) in Eastern North America can have a significant effect on the genetic diversity of present day populations. Here, I modelled the LGM ...

Genetic profiling variation caused by tissue type, error, and damage

Lamers, Ryan Paul (2006)

Genetic profiling variations caused by tissue type, error, and damage have been studied only minimally in the past. Even though it is well accepted that damage to the DNA molecule and PCR induced error occur, little focus ...

Genetic variation and adaptation of white birch populations across Canada

Alves, Matthew A. (2014-01-22)

Trees adapt to local climates, however growing concern surrounding climate change has generated predictions suggesting mass extinction or redistribution of taxa across the landscape. A lack of redistribution will result ...

Genetic variation in growth and yield components of juvenile balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera L.) growing in northwestern Ontario / by Frank Schnekenburger

Schnekenburger, Frank (1988)

A nursery and greenhouse study of balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera L.) were carried out in Thunder Bay, Ontario, to study the extent and nature of variation in growth and its relation to the following yield components: ...

Genetic variation in height and diameter of tamarack (Larix Laricina) and their correlation with syllepsis

Bayor, Hypolite (1997)

The broad sense heritability of total height, annual height increment, diameter, volume index and syllepsis of II provenances of tamarack in northwestern Ontario were examined. Genetic and Pearson Product Moment correlations ...

Genetic variation in physiology and growth under ambient and elevated CO2 concentrations in four provenances of Populus tremuloides from Northwestern Ontario

Liu, Ning (2003)

Trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) is the most widely distributed and probably most genetically varied woody species in North America. Four provenances of trembling aspen seedlings from northwestern Ontario ...

Genetic variation in the frost hardiness of Pinus banksiana Lamb. (jack pine) in Northwestern Ontario

Davradou, Maria

To estimate the level and pattern of variation in frost hardiness, artificial freezing tests of 64 provenances of jack pine were conducted. The provenances originated from northern Ontario. Seedlings of the provenances ...

Genetic variation in traits affecting the water relations of balsam poplar along a latitudinal transect in Northwestern Ontario

Penfold, Cameron S. (1992)

Genetic variation In traits potentially affecting the waterrelations of balsam poplar (PopuIus balsamifera L.) clones from four provenances along a transect from northern Wisconsin to Pickle Lake in northwestern Ontario ...
