Adaptability in moose (Alces alces L) : habitat selection in two landscapes in Newfoundland, Canada
(2014-01-22)Moose (Alces alces [L.]) exist circumglobally and in a vast array of different habitats. I explore differences in habitat selection in relation to differences in availability of forest stands by habitat type and number of ... -
Adaptations of Euro-Canadian schools to Inuit culture in selected communities in Nunavut
(2001)This study explores educators' current and desired 'adaptations' of Euro-Canadian schools to Inuit culture, in five communities in one region of Nunavut Communities ranged in size from 800 to 3500 residents, of which on ... -
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 ... -
The adaptive cycle of meaning making: development and preliminary evaluation of a self-report scale
(2021)Meaning in life has long been established as a core component of individual well-being, making it a topic of great importance within psychological research. Advancements in psychological studies of meaning in life are ... -
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 steady-state analysis of circuits using wavelets
(2021)This thesis presents research into utilizing the sparse representations of waveforms that are possible in the wavelet domain to increase the computational efficiency of the steady-state analysis of electric circuits. The ... -
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. ...
