Physiology of development, germination and ubiquitination in pea seeds
(1993)The development of entire seeds and axes of Pisum sativum L. cv. Spring was followed between 18 and 47 days after flowering, in terms of changes in fresh weight, dry weight, water content, protein level and chlorophyll ... -
Phytochemical analysis of boreal forest flora of Northwestern Ontario, Canada
(2017)The following research document has been written in the format of a thesis by publication. As such, there is an introductory and concluding chapter to provide addition information and context to the scope of the study, ... -
Pictures, actions and words : using photo elicitation to explore the lived experience of outdoor recreation for a person with a developmental disability
(2009)The purpose of the research was to document the lived experience of outdoor recreation from the perspective of a 19 year old male with a developmental disability and to explore photo elicitation as a method of eliciting ... -
Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting with a Nonlinear Energy Sink
(2016)Energy transfer from one system to another system, or vice versa, is happening constantly in many processes with various forms. Vibration in machines or structures can be considered as a form of energy transfer from a ... -
Pilot study to measure the relationship between myocardial infarction and periodontal disease : application of a case-control design
(2003)Recent public health reports have identified Northwestern Ontario and Thunder Bay for increased risk of coronary heart disease among several cohorts. The present study investigated the relationship between myocardial ... -
Pinning of magnetic vortices subject to multi-well potential in the Ginzburg-Landau theory of superconductivity
(2012-11-10)I will study the existence of multi-vortex solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau equations with an external potential on R2. These equations model the equilibrium states of superconductors: the external potential, W, represents ... -
Placements of virtual network functions for effective network functions virtualization
(2019)In the future wireless networks, network function virtualization will lay the foun- dation for establishing a new resource management framework to e ciently utilize network resources. The rst part of this thesis deals ... -
Plant abundance, diversity, and composition following reclamation in Alberta's oil sands
(2014-12-18)The Alberta oil sands have caused an economic boom in the Canadian economy in recent years. Identifying the best strategy for vegetation recovery after oil sands extraction is critical to restoring the biodiversity and ... -
Plant community assembly 15-37 years after clearcutting, clearcutting plus prescribed burning, and wildfire in jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) forest of Central Canada
(2010)Study area: Northwestern Ontario. -
Plant diversity effect on soil carbon dynamics
(2019)Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a valuable natural resource, supplying goods and services for human benefits, including mediating global climate change and securing food production and environmental quality. Biodiversity loss ... -
Plant microfossil analysis of middle woodland food residues, northern Minnesota
(2014-12-12)Northern Minnesota lies within the southern edge of the Boreal Forest and, as a result, archaeological sites in this region typically have poor organic preservation and thin, disturbed, stratigraphy. For this reason, little ... -
Plant mixture effects on fine-root biomass and its functional traits
(2023)Fine roots play a critical role in the uptake of soil water and nutrients and make a crucial contribution to the carbon pool through their fast turnover rate and subsequent decay. Plant traitbased approach enables us to ... -
Plantation establishment following chemical site preparation with triclopyr and plantation release with triclopyr-glyphosate herbicide mixtures
(1996)Two field studies were conducted to evaluate the use of Release™ (triclopyr ester) for chemical site preparation and its use in mixture with glyphosate for jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) plantation release. -
Planting the seeds of change : evaluation of the impacts of community gardens on well-being and connections to community and nature in First Nations' youth / by Graham Trull.
(2008)Aboriginal populations in Canada currently struggle with a variety of social, economic, and health issues. Many of these problems have been shown to relate to levels of connectedness to community and to nature, as well ... -
