Modelling the radial and longitudinal variation in wood density and its sensitivity to climate in black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.)
(2014-01-22)Wood density variation affects structural timber performance and is correlated with different sources (genetic diversity, stand dynamics and climatic effects) which, to date, have not been comprehensively quantified in ... -
Modelling the relationships of internal governance mechanisms on innovation: empirical insight from utility tokens
(2020)The purpose of this paper is to determine the impact internal corporate governance mechanisms have on innovation. Current studies are inconclusive on the conceptual relationship given the wide range of institutions that ... -
Modelling, simulation and control of nonlinear flexural-flexural-inextensional rotating beam
(2004)A continuous rotating beam that undergoes flexure about two principal axes is modelled. The beam is characterized by gyroscopic type nonlinearities. The beam is of significant importance for applications such as large ... -
Models of intellectual capital valuation : a comparative evaluation
(2003)Accounting, as it is currently practiced, has lost much of its ability to inform as businesses have become more and more knowledge intensive. Intangible assets are now variously estimated to currently constitute 60-75 ... -
The Moderating role of depression in the relationship between coping strategies and significant others' reactions with the experience of chronic pain
(2012-11-10)Research shows a strong co-morbidity between pain and depression (Schatzberg, 2004). Individuals suffering with both chronic pain and depression exhibit greater pain intensity, greater interference due to pain and more ... -
Modern transcendental vision of William Heyen
(1993)This paper shall attempt to outline William Heyen's Transcendental Vision. Chapter One, sections one to three, defines Transcendentalism, explores the visions of two well known American thinkers, Ralph Waldo Emerson and ... -
A Modification of the Effros-Handelman-Shen Theorem with Z2 actions
(2020)In this thesis, we show that if we have a Z2 action on a latticeordered dimension group, then it will arise as an inductive limit of Z2 actions on simplicial groups. This work was motivated by the range of the invariant ... -
Modulation of Listeria monocytogenes biofilms by Pseudomonas spp. secreted substances / by Lauren Davey.
(2008)Listeria monocytogenes, a food-borne pathogen associated with severe disease, forms resistant biofilms which enable it to persist in food processing environments. Recently, surface active compounds and other microbially ... -
Modulation scheme investigation for high-power medium-voltage current source converter based drives
(2023)Pulse width modulated (PWM) current source converter (CSC) based drives are commonly used in high-power (1-10 MW), medium-voltage (MV) (2.3-6.6 kV) applications. These drives feature a simple converter structure, inherent ... -
Moisture reduction and nutrient retention associated with field-drying forest harvest residues on clearcut sites in Northwestern Ontario, Canada
(2012-11-10)The increased utilization of forest harvest residues as supplemental, inexpensive and renewable energy raises two key concerns: 1) continued removal may negatively affect long-term site productivity; and 2) because 50-60% ... -
Molecular analysis of bacterial diversity on central venous catheters recovered from cancer patients
(2005)Central venous catheters (CVC) are a known source of nosocomial blood stream infections. However, standard cultivation methods to identify causal pathogens of catheter-related blood stream infections (CRBSI) on catheters ... -
Molecular and intramolecular relaxation processes of small molecules
(1980)The dielectric relaxation method was used to determine the activation parameters of some ethane derivatives and simple amides. A General Radio 1615-A capacitance bridge was utilized to obtain the energy barriers of the ... -
Molecular detection and identification of parasites involved in human disease
(2006)The detection and identification of disease-causing parasites via DNA and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) offers a new approach for quick and efficient disease diagnosis. Three nucleic acid based technologies have ... -
Monitoring and access management of resource roads with instrumentation
(2023)Forest transportation operations are facing challenges such as having larger road networks to manage because of dispersed harvest patterns, climate changes forcing more hauling to take place under wet road conditions, ... -
Monitoring for success in stream restoration: a case study of the Kama Creek, north shore of Lake Superior
(2015-06-15)This thesis investigates the use of success criteria to evaluate the changes induced by a small-scale stream restoration project. The research is based on a case study of the Kama Creek, Nipigon Bay, Lake Superior. Declines ... -
Monitoring of training and recovery in elite cross-country skiers
(1996)The purpose of this investigation was to monitor and assess the training program of elite cross-country skiers over an eight week period in order to develop a comprehensive profile of elite crosscountry skiers. This was ... -
Monitoring productivity and utilization of a feller-buncher using FPDat system
(2017)This thesis summarizes the process of equipping a Tigercat 870C feller-buncher with an FPDat on-board computer system. The harvest contractor participating in this study is based in northwestern Ontario. The purpose of ... -
Mood and hormonal effects on facial emotion detection: the role of depressive symptoms, oral contraceptive use, and premenstrual symptoms
(2023)Past research has suggested altered facial emotion detection (FED) with depressive symptoms, oral contraceptive (OC) use, and premenstrual symptoms. Altered FED may contribute to and maintain negative mood associated ... -
