(2007)"The current study examined the role that positive appraisal (i.e., gain) and negative appraisal (i.e., burden) of caregiving can play in understanding caregivers' physical and mental health outcomes. Gender and kinship ... -
Positron/electron annihilation via the two-photon pathway
(2012-11-10)When a positron/electron pair annihilate via the two-photon pathway, the emitted photons are momentum correlated. This correlation ensures that they move along a straight line path in opposite directions. An experiment ... -
Possessing the literary mystery : reading, writing and interpreting the detective process in A.S. Byatt's Possession
(1998)This thesis investigates how Byatt’s literary mystery Possession uses elements of antidetective fiction and subverts conventions of the classic detective story. The classic detective novel is a genre in which the strange ... -
Post disturbance dynamics of aspen mixed-woods : a comparison among fire, logging, and budworm outbreak
(2002)Seventy-one aspen (Populus tremuloidies Michx.) mixedwood stands disturbed in the 1980’s were sampled in southeastern Manitoba, Canada to examine the response of arboreal and understory communities to natural and ... -
Post logging succession and vegetation management with hexazinone herbicide in Picea glauca (Moench) Voss-Populus tremuloides Michx. forest
(1981)The objectives were: to review the successional behaviour of white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) - trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michxt) stands in the literature, to conduct field studies of the successional ... -
Post-fire natural regeneration of young stands on clearcut, partial-cut and uncut sites of boreal mixedwoods : Fire NIP 10 burned stands regeneration analysis
(2008)Boreal mixedwoods are an important element and the most productive forest type in the Canadian boreal forests. This research focused on the regeneration of stands burned by an intense wild fire in Black Sturgeon Boreal ... -

(2023)Sexual violence is amongst the most detrimental events a woman can experience, with survivors suffering long-term consequences to their mental health and perception of self. However, accumulating research shows trauma ... -
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 ... -
