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 ... -
Population dynamics of an exploited population of Orconectes virilis in Northwestern Ontario
(1987)Exploitation of northern stocks of the crayfish Orconectes virilis (Hagen) produced significant alterations in several population parameters. High fishing efforts increased per capita fecundity, young-of-year (YOY) ... -
Population genetics and phylogeography of aplodinotus grunniens (freshwater drum)
(2013-02-03)The purpose of this study is to determine the population genetic and phylogeographic structure of Aplodinotus grunniens (freshwater drum) populations through analysis of the NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 (ND2) region and ... -
Population genetics of caribou in the Brightsand range of Ontario
(2022)Boreal woodland caribou are listed as threatened in Ontario. This thesis examined whether the genetic diversity of boreal woodland caribou in the Brightsand Range differs comparing populations in portions of the range with ... -
Population structure, somatic incompatibility, and sporocarp overwintering in Chondrostereum purpureum
(2000)An investigation was conducted o f the population structure, the somatic incompatibility reaction, and sporocarp overwintering in Chondrostereum purpureum (Pers.:Fr.) Pouzar, a proposed mycoherbicide of undesirable ... -
Pore-scale modelling of electrochemically reactive flow
(2022)Electrochemistry, a field revolving around charge transport, is omnipresent in our every-day life. It is found in batteries, water treatment, medicine, and food processing, to name a few. Water dissolves more substances ... -
Portrayal of dominance in children's myth, story and legend : implications for educational administrators
(1996)This research views a theory of dominance from the perspective that dominance represents an integration of dialectical support and control dimensions. The design of the inquiry applies an adaptation of Hersey and Blanchard's ... -
