(1984)The objectives of this thesis were to; 1) evaluate the effect of a single early spring root pruning followed by a series of five root wrenching treatments at three week intervals on the morphological condition of rising ... -
Ruthenium half-sandwich complexes containing novel anionic (phosphino) tetraphenylborate ligands
(2009)In an attempt to expand upon previous work involving ruthenium-arene complexes bearing anionic (phosphino) tetraphenylborate ligands, and possibly provide further insight into the products obtained, a series of metal ... -
Ruthenium piano stool complexes incorporating novel bis(pyrrolidinyl)alkylphosphines
(2012-11-10)Conventional phosphine ligands (i.e., those typically bearing alkyl and/or aryl substituents) have played a crucial role in the development of transition metal coordination chemistry. Many structural and electronic variants ... -
Ruthenium-Tris(Pyrazolyl)methane complexes as potential candidates for cancer chemotherapy agents
(2009)The MeCN ligands of complex 1 were substitutionally inert, however, under forcing conditions the DMSO ligands of complex 2 were displaced by chelating 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane to produce complex 6. Structural ... -
S U (3) Squeezing: quantum and semiclassical evolutions
(2013-02-03)In this thesis we describe a squeezing for SU(3) systems and compare squeezing in the phase space in the semiclassical approximation with squeezing obtained by the full quantum mechanical calculation. We show that the ... -

Safety from predators or competitors? Interference competition leads to apparent predation risk
(2013-02-01)Prey often react to predation risk by foraging preferentially in safe, rather than risky, patches. Yet prey also must deal with the negative effects of competition for the same patches. The pattern of patch use can mimic ... -
Salmonid thermal habitats in Lake Superior tributaries
(2020)For some potamodromous salmonid species, such as the Brook Trout, streams are a critical spawning habitat but also habitat for juveniles and stream residents to grow. Salmonids are coldwater fishes and cooler stream water ... -
Saproxylic beetle species associations with structural composition of red pine coarse woody debris at Hogarth plantation
(2020)How forest management practices affect the biodiversity of saproxylic insects is currently poorly understood. Since these insects play a role in nutrient cycling, failure to properly manage for saproxylic insects could ... -
