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 ... -
Planting the seeds of local food capacity in Northern, Provincial Canada: a case study of community and market gardening initiatives in Cumberland House, Saskatchewan
(2021)This thesis explores the impacts of two gardening initiatives – a community garden and a market garden – in a municipality inhabited mostly by Indigenous people in Northern Saskatchewan. This case study employed an ... -
Plasma ammonia and lactate response to anaerobic exercise, and their relationship to muscle fiber type
(1991)The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in the concentrations of plasma ammonia and lactate to an anaerobic exercise response, lasting 90 seconds (s) in duration. The secondary purpose was to plot this ... -
Plasmonic nanostructure on a tapered fiber for chemical detection
(2017)A simple, cost effective technique to manufacture plasmonic nanostructures as a Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) substrate was investigated. The plasmonic structure of gold nanorods was developed on the surface ... -
Plus-tree selection of black spruce in Northwestern Ontario for Superior growing space efficiency
(1985)Plus-tree selection of black spruce [Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.) based on increment of wood volume per unit of crown (growing space efficiency) has the potential to improve yield per hectare and avoid biased selection ... -
Poetizing disability : arts-informed reflections
(2009)Through arts-informed educational research, I engaged in poetic exploration of the lived experience of disability. Theorizing and creating through poetry helped me to reflect and deepen my understanding of my own disability, ... -
Polar bears: the conservation of an arctic icon in a warming climate
(2014-12-16)Subpopulation growth rates and the probability of decline at current harvest levels were determined for 13 subpopulations of polar bears (Ursus maritimus) that are within or shared with Canada based on the most recent ... -
Police work experiences and their relationship to burnout and organizational citizenship behaviour
(1997)Recent police stress literature has consistently asserted that organizational aspects of work, rather than operational ones, are identified by officers as being the most stressful. Exposure to perceived workplace stress ... -
Pollen pool heterogeneity in jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) : a problem for estimating population outcrossing rate?
(1990)Pollen pool heterogeneity, which violates an assumption of the mixed-mating model, is one of the major problems facing population geneticists concerned with measuring plant mating systems. In the present study, isozyme ... -
Pollen pool heterogeneity in natural stands of upland and lowland black spruce (Picea marinana (Mill.) B.S.P.)
(1991)One of the basic assumptions of the mixed-mating model is that the pollen pool of a population is homogeneous. However mounting evidence would suggest that a homogeneous pollen pool is not the norm in populations of ... -
Polymorphic regions of the estrogen receptor, androgen receptor and serotonin transporter genes and their association with mood variability in young women
(2006)The present study examined whether genetic polymorphisms on the estrogen receptor, androgen receptor, and serotonin transporter genes affect mood reactivity or mood variability in women. A total of 279 women from the ... -
Popping the cap
(LexisNexis, 2021)On a beautiful summer night, Pritie Patel called up her friends. They decided to go out in Montreal’s Old Port. Around 1 AM, as Patel and her friends were returning home, Patel walked across a stopped train. There were no ...
