Postmodern imaginative constructivism for STSE understanding
(2014-12-05)The influences of science and technology on society and the environment (STSE) have been an integral component of the formal educational curricula for four decades, and yet industrialized countries frequently struggle ... -
Potassium impact on red pine (Pinus resinosa) diameter and height growth
(2021)This thesis explores the relationship between the soil nutrient potassium and its effect on red pine growth. This thesis summarizes existing knowledge on differing soils impact on red pine and the lack of polymorphism. ... -
Potential dual purpose molecular probe for HPV16 E6: a computational and experimental approach
(2015-08-05)The goal of this project is to find a molecular probe for HPV variant 16 protein E6. This goal is accomplished using a combination of Virtual Ligand Screening (VLS) and experimental ligand binding assays. Protein E6 is ... -
Potential factors that influence the silvicultural status of a stand based on its silvicultural background
(2020)The silvicultural effectiveness monitoring program is important in determining the silvicultural status of a stand. Each stand can be classified as being a silvicultural success (SS), regeneration success (RS), or not ... -
Potential impacts of clearcut logging on lake trout (salvelinus namaycush) reproduction in northwestern Ontario lakes
(1997)Lake trout reproductive habitat was characterized in three small lakes, 250 km northwest of Thunder Bay, Ontario, by measuring the physical characteristics of preferred spawning habitat including 1) depth, 2) substrate ... -
The Potential of microfossil use in paleodiet and paleoenvironmental analysis in Northwestern Ontario
(2008)Historically wild rice was important economically and spiritually across much of central and eastern Canada, but the antiquity of its use by Native communities is unclear. Unlike plant macrofossils, which have traditionally ... -
Potential of modeling to predict the re-establishment of bat populations affected by white-nose syndrome in northwestern Ontario
(2021)Since the first confirmed case in North America in 2007, white nose syndrome caused by Pseudogymnoascus destructans has decimated bat populations in the northeastern US and eastern Canada. Ontario is home to eight species ... -
The Potential use of SIFT-MS as a breath diagnostic tool
(2009)The measurement of volatile chemicals in human breath has recently emerged as a non-invasive technique with the potential for the early diagnosis of disease. A benefit of early diagnosis is that treatment plans including ... -
The potential uses of virus-infected symbionts to improve drought and heat stress in trees for improvement, climate change resilience, and restoration
(2023)With the rapid changes occurring to the climate of the boreal forest, many populations of trees are facing increased stresses and seeing lower productivity and survival. Conventional tree improvement programs take decades ... -
Potential utilization of green ash wood as a result of emerald ash borer proactive management in Thunder Bay, Ontario
(2018)The emerald ash borer (Agrillus planipennis Fairmaire) (EAB) was discovered in Thunder Bay, Ontario in June, 2016. Since that time, the city of Thunder Bay has implemented a proactive management plan of 50% treatment and ... -
Power efficient survivable routing with p-cycles
(2011)Power awareness in networking has been a vital area of research in wireless networks but, until recently, has been largely ignored in wired networks. In wireless applications, the amount of power utilized by transmission ... -
Power in the Image | Visual Literacy in the Age of COVID-19
(2022)The aim of this portfolio is to explore a journey of research examining the role of photography and visual literacy in contemporary society through the lens of COVID-19 media coverage, attending to the misrepresentation ... -
Power line use by nesting raptors
(2018)Raptors represent an important species group often targeted in wildlife monitoring efforts. Incidental raptor stick-nest observations were recorded in SaskPower power line aerial imagery. Analyses were conducted to ... -
Power loss investigation of series-connected current source inverters
(2021)Current-source inverters (CSIs) are a type of direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) converters that generate a defined AC output current waveform from a DC current supply. As the counterpart of voltage source ... -
Power minimization and optimum ONU placements in integrated wireless optical access networks
(2014-01-22)The deployment of optical fibre in place of copper cable in access networks has experienced remarkable growth over the past several years due to a wide range of benefits. A major benefit of optical fibre over copper cable ... -
Power, participation and relationships: an evaluation of decentralization in the planning and management of Quetico Provincial Park
(2014-01-22)There has been a global trend towards the decentralization of protected area planning and management. This study used a decentralization framework to determine if the planning and management of Quetico Provincial Park has ... -
Power-aware caches for GPGPUs
(2015)In this thesis, we propose two optimization techniques to reduce power consumption in L1 caches (data, texture and constant), shared memory and L2 cache. The first optimization technique targets static power. Evaluation ... -
Practical resources for therapeutic horseback riding programs that support students on the autism spectrum
(2020)Over the past decade, equine-assisted interventions have become increasingly popular as assistive programs for individuals with specialized needs (Gabriels et al., 2012) given the adaptability of these interventions and ... -
Practicing the Public Good Exploring Ethical Issues in Public Health Practice
