Leaf morphological and anatomical variations of paper birch populations along environmental gradients across Canada
(2014-12-12)Leaf morphology and anatomy have been found to vary considerably among tree species, and leaf characteristics have widely been used for analyzing plant growth and resource use strategies because of their structural ... -
Learning through relationship: in-context development for teachers of Indigenous students
(2019)In this study, I explore the experiences and qualities of productive learning relationships shared by Indigenous and non-Indigenous educators in K-12 public education contexts. I know from my own teaching experience and ... -
Leaving the federation : secondary administrators' responses to a change in context
(2001)The effects of contextual change (removal from the teachers' federation) on the culture of a small group of secondary school administrators was studied qualitatively, by a participant observer, using interviews, observations, ... -
Lesbian and gay male identity development and online communities
(2012)The aim of this study is to broaden the understanding of how online resources including blogs, chats, websites, and social networking can help support identity formation in lesbian and gay people. More specifically, my ... -
"Let us all be optimistic from now on" : Oscar Styffe Limited 1927-1945, the middleman of Northwestern Ontario and the pulp and paper trade
(1994)In the 1930's and 1940's, one way for pulp and paper firms to acquire supplies of pulpwood from the forests of Northwestern Ontario was through pulpwood dealers or middlemen. An analysis of one of these timber dealers, ... -
Leveraging apps for research and learning: A survey of Canadian academic libraries
(Emerald, 2015)Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to assess the response of Canadian academic libraries to the rapid proliferation of mobile application (apps), many of which are useful for research, teaching, and learning. ... -
Lichen detectability under varying canopy closure
(2019)Monitoring lichen distribution is of increasing concern as mapping is critical in characterizing habitat for woodland caribou. Aerial photography collected using drones, the method used for this study, is a common method ... -
The life cycle of human papillomavirus type 16 E6 variants and its effects on the innate immune system of host keratinocytes
(2013-02-01)Persistent infection with human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) is the primary aetiological agent for cervical cancer. Viral particles initiate their life cycle by infecting basal keratinocytes of epithelium and amplifying ... -
Life history, habits and phylogenetic relationships of Ithycerus noveboracensis (Forster), (New York weevil) (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea)
(1979)Larvae of Ithycerus are described for the first time. Ten instars are identified with the possibility of more to be found. The pupa remains unknown. Spiracular air tubes and orifices show allometric growth and this, ... -
Life on the edge : the role of habitat selection on vole density near forest boundaries
(1997)Theories of density-dependent habitat selection predict pronounced gradients of population density near habitat edges. Population density in high-quality habitats should decline toward edges with lower-quality habitats, ... -
Light-weight federated learning with augmented knowledge distillation for human activity recognition
(2023)The field of deep learning has experienced significant growth in recent years in various domains where data can be collected and processed. However, as data plays a central role in the deep learning revolution, there are ... -
Lightning occurrence in Pukaskwa National Park and surrounding area
(2000)Pukaskwa National Park has implemented a natural fire regime emulation program. One component of the natural fire regime is the pattern of ignitions, primarily from lightning. There were three ways in which patterns ... -
Lightweight deep learning for monocular depth estimation
(2021)Monocular depth estimation is a challenging but significant part of computer vision with many applications in other areas of study. This estimation method aims to provide a relative depth prediction for a single input ... -
Lignin acrylic acid polymer as an emulsifier for oil-water emulsions
(2022)Oil-water emulsions are applied in various fields such as food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, and agricultural products. Currently, synthetic-based emulsifiers are extensively used in oil-water emulsions, ... -
Lignin Degradation by some wood-rot fungi with emphasis on cylindrocladium camelliae
(2012-11-10)Thirty wood-rot fungi were screened for their ability to grow on media containing Kraft lignin with a limited amount of glucose. Of these fungi, twenty-three were tested for ligninolytic activity judged by decolorization ... -
Lignin modification to produce hydrophobic products
(2017)Kraft lignin is not widely utilized for industrial applications. In this MSc work, kraft lignin was modified by grafting hydrophobic groups to produce hydrophobic materials. The main objective was to study the grafting of ... -
Lignin-based flocculant and dispersant for wastewater treatment
(2018)The wastewaters produced from different industries contain fine and charged suspended particles and other impurities. Today, the removal of these colloidal particles from the wastewater has become a serious challenge for ... -
Lignin-based hydrogels
(2017)Currently, limited information is available on lignin-based hydrogels, but its potential in commercial applications presents a promising avenue for the utilization of lignocellulosic materials. Recent studies have employed ... -
Lignocellulosic materials in hydrolysis and spent liquors
(2018)Biomass pretreatment is widely used for softening biomass prior to its disintegration for value added product production. There are numerous methods for biomass pre-treatment, among which alkaline pulping and acid hydrolysis ...
