Movement, resource use, and life history strategies of Black Bay Walley (Sander vitreus)
(2019)Resource distribution across the landscape can drive movement strategy selection, from sedentary to highly mobile individuals. When paired with other forms of analysis, movement ecology can provide insight into the resource ... -
Movements, survival and habitat use by elk (Cervus elaphus) reintroduced to Northwestern Ontario
(2003)Once native to Ontario, eastern elk (Cervus elaphus canadensis) occupied much of the deciduous forest biome of eastern North America. However, increasing human settlement, as well as demands for meat and agricultural ... -
Moving towards self-care and self-determination: improving the role and organization of tribal councils in remote First Nations wildfire evacuations
(2022)During climate change, wildfires will increase in frequency and size, equating to an increase in wildfire evacuation frequency and duration. Keewaytinook Okimakinak Tribal Council (KO) struggled to identify a role and ... -
Multi-advisor deep reinforcement learning for smart home energy control
(2021)Effective automated smart home control is essential for smart-grid enabled approaches to demand response, named in the literature as automated demand response. At it’s heart, this is a multi-objective adaptive control ... -
Multi-analytical residue analysis of the trihedral adze: a case study for the introduction of new methodologies in boreal forest archaeology
(2015-06-15)This thesis aims to evaluate the use of multi-analytical residue analysis in archaeological investigations in the Boreal Forest through the examination of a specific artifact class – the trihedral and related adze tool ... -
Multi-NFP utilization in the fifth generation and beyond systems
Over the past few years, wireless communication needs have experienced continuous growth. There is now a great demand for more sophisticated infrastructure to cope with the fifth generation and beyond (5G+) systems. 5G+ ... -
Multi-objective resource optimization in space-aerial-ground-sea integrated networks
(2023)Space-air-ground-sea integrated (SAGSI) networks are envisioned to connect satellite, aerial, ground, and sea networks to provide connectivity everywhere and all the time in sixth-generation (6G) networks. However, the ... -
Multi-time analysis of CMOS circuits
(2008)Transient simulation of circuits with widely separated time constants and fast periodic excitations is not efficient because a long simulation period with small time steps is required. One approach to simulate the transient ... -
Multi-timeframe algorithmic trading bots using thick data heuristics with deep reinforcement learning
(2022)This thesis presents an augmented Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithmic trading approach that combines Thick Data Heuristics (TDH), with Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL), to successfully learn trading execution timing ... -
Multicriteria feasibility assessment of BioSuccinic acid production from lignocellulosic biomass
(2023)The goal of any lignocellulosic based biorefinery should be to produce a spectrum of marketable products and energy utilizing all significant components of biomass. Depending on the maturity of available technology, ... -
Multicultural ways of knowing : reading the Kite Runner in a grade 11 class
(2013-02-12)This qualitative study describes responses of twenty-eight students in a Grade 11 language arts class as they read, The Kite Runner (Hosseini, 2004), and responded to activities in the context of a multicultural unit. The ... -
Multidimensional measurement of self concept : a preliminary study
(1987)The purpose of this research was to develop a preliminary multidimensional measurement of self concept, within the framework of phenomenological theory and acknowledging previous work in the field. Twelve preliminary ... -
A multiomic approach to paleogenetic investigation of ancient North American bison
(2018)Twelve ancient bison bone samples from north-central North America were examined using genetic and proteomic sequencing to determine relationships to other bison populations. Mitochondrial DNA sequences suggest a genetic ... -
Multiwavelength erbium-ytterbium co-doped fiber laser / by Mansour Dastmalchi.
(2007)A fiber ring laser, using erbium-ytterbium co-doped double clad fiber is proposed and demonstrated to produce a medium power multiwavelength fiber laser. The experimental results show that the ring resonator configuration ... -
Municipal ownership town : the organization and regulation of urban services in Port Arthur, 1875-1914
(1994)Municipal enterprise was an innovation born of necessity in the hinterland regions of Europe and North America. In an era of rapid industrial and population growth, urban governments struggled during the late Victorian ... -
Music therapy in schizophrenia / by Tonya Castle Purvis
(2007)With the increasingly important role of psychosocial interventions in the treatment of schizophrenia, many such interventions have been adequately researched and standardized so that they meet the criteria for evidence-based ... -
Mycoparasites and decay fungi: a study of their ecological interactions on wood blocks of Betula papyrifera
(2020)Decay fungi are an extremely important part of the forest ecosystem and provide essential ecosystem services including the breakdown of complex organic compounds and nutrient release. However, this important group of fungi ... -
Nanomaterial-based Electrochemical Sensors for the Detection of Glucose and Cholesterol
(2011)Electrochemical detection methods are highly attractive for the monitoring of glucose, cholesterol, cancer, infectious diseases, and biological warfare agents due to their low cost, high sensitivity, functionality despite ... -
Nanomaterials based electrochemical approaches for biosensing and bacterial disinfection
(2017)Electrochemical approaches to myriad medical and environmental challenges are highly attractive due to their strong potential for extensive and green applications. Point of care diagnostics through the electrochemical ... -
Narcissism predicts facial muscle reactivity during a body comparison threat: the role of personality in shaping affiliative behaviour
(2021)The facial feedback hypothesis suggests that individuals automatically activate facial muscles that are congruent with an expresser’s facial display, which in turn results in a congruent emotional experience within ...
