Adapting reproduction: portrayals of sex, birth, and bodies in four early modern women's metaphors for writing
(2014-01-22)The metaphor for writing as reproduction was common in literature by both men and women in the early modern period. Indeed, Donald W. Foster argues that the comparison between texts and children, “is the single most frequent ... -
Adapting the Ontario teacher performance appraisal manual to video-based teacher assessment / by Eric Fredrickson.
(2008)This study asks if a teacher appraisal tool, the Ontario "Teacher Performance Appraisal Manual" (TPAM) can be modified toward the assessment of pre-service teacher competencies as viewed in archived videoconference lessons. ... -
Adapting to change, perceptions and knowledges in the involvement of Aboriginal peoples in forest management : a case study with Lac Seul First Nation
(2009)This study examines the involvement of Aboriginal peoples in forest management and their perceptions and understandings of the forest, forest management, participation, consultation and Aboriginal and Treaty rights in ... -
Adaptive almost disturbance decoupling for a class of nonlinear differential-algabraic equation systems
(2016)A class of engineering systems is modeled by Differential Algebraic Equations (DAEs), which are also known as singular, descriptor, semistate and generalized systems. In the chemical engineering processes, the differential ... -
Adaptive and Maladaptive Outcomes of Perfectionism and Changes After Mindfulness Training
(2015)Considerable debate exists in the personality literature regarding the adaptiveness versus maladaptiveness of perfectionism. Study 1 (N = 240) involved a two-phase design to examine main and interactive effects of perfectionism ... -
Adaptive and phenotypic responses of white birch provenances to climate variations
(2009)Trees have adapted to their local climate, but with changes in the climate may currently, or in the near future occupy climates that are sub-optimal for growth and survival. The goal of current reforestation is therefore ... -
Adaptive backstepping based nonlinear control of an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor drive
(2005)Permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSM) have shown increasing popularity in recent years for industrial drive applications due to the recent developments in magnetic materials, power converters, and digital signal ... -
Adaptive backstepping based online loss minimization control of an induction motor drive / by San Woo Nam.
(2006)The efficiency of an induction motor (IM) can be improved by the optimum selection of a flux level in the motor. Among the numerous loss minimization algorithms (LMA), a loss-model-based approach offers a fast response ... -
Adaptive backstepping control of quadrotors with neural-network
(2018)A quadrotor is a type of unmanned aerial vehicles. It has been widely used in aerial photography. The quadrotor has the capability of vertical takeoff and landing, which is very useful in small or narrow areas. The ... -
Adaptive control of a parallel robot via backstepping technique
(2006)Parallel robots have attracted more and more attention in recent years due to their kinematical and mechanical advantages. However the complicated high nonlinear model with unknown parameters and singularities make the ... -
Adaptive habitat selection by a single celled alga?
(2014-01-22)Faculty and students in the Department of Biology are bound together by a common interest in explaining the diversity of life, the fit between form and function, and the distribution and abundance of organisms. The research ... -
Adaptive optimizer based on the sequential simplex method applied to the control of a thermo-mechanical pulping screening room
(2004)An adaptive optimizer is designed for control of multi-variable processes where the operating characteristics of the plant are time varying. Based on the original sequential method for static applications, the modified ... -
Adaptive time-step control algorithm for nonlinear time-domain envelope transient
(2006)This thesis outlines a general method to analyze circuits with several time variables using a technique known as Multi Partial Differential Equation, MPDE. The key idea of MPDE is to convert the system of ordinary ... -
Adaptive variation in cold hardiness among aspen (Populus tremuloides) provenances
(2002)The relative efficiencies of using different methods to detect genetic variation in cold hardiness were evaluated, and the adaptive variation among aspen provenances was further studied. This thesis is organized as three ... -
Adaptive variation of trembling aspen in Northwestern Ontario
(2015-08-05)To demonstrate the pattern of adaptive variation of Populus tremuloides (Michx.) to northwestern Ontario climate conditions, a statistical analysis was completed of growth and phenology variables from 26 provenances. ... -
Administering the Auditory Comprehension Test to a group of learning disabled subjects
(1990)This study attempted to replicate the finding by Green and Josey (1988) in some groups of learning disabled children of better comprehension of spoken language in one single ear (monaural condition) than in both ... -
Administration error in presenting the WAIS-R blocks : evaluation of an extreme departure
(1992)This study examined block presentation on the Block Design subtest of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised. The standardized procedure dictates that a variety of sides be shown and that the red/white side be ... -
Admixtures for use in geopolymers
(2012-11-10)This study examined two novel approaches for the geopolymerisation of fly ash produced at thermoelectric power stations by combustion of coal. The first approach involved the use of cullet, a post-consumer glass waste, to ... -
Adolescent images of the future and the 'ideology of schooling' / by Susan Heald. --
(1984)The thesis addresses questions of both the methodology and the substantive content of 'cultural reproduction' studies. At the methodological level, the thesis examines the use of 'images of the future' as a tool for ... -
Adoption and use of computer mediated communications : reactions of female site coordinators in a distributed education system
(1989)This study examines women's reactions to the introduction of computer-mediated communications (CMC). The literature suggests women exhibit some reluctance in the use of computer technology. There are, however, computer ...
