Speciation of aqueous hypercoordinated organosilicate complexes / by Jiali Wen.
(2007, c 20)Aqueous silicon chemistry plays a major and as yet unappreciated role in many fields of science. Emerging technologies such as the fabrication of biomimetic ceramics require a thorough understanding of all factors affecting ... -
Species diversity and aboveground productivity relationships in forest ecosystems
(2012-11-10)Empirical and theoretical studies have attributed the observed positive diversity-productivity relationship (DPR) across various ecosystems to a complementarity effect through niche differentiation and/or facilitation among ... -
Species relative abundance and aboveground biomass production driven by climate change and stand ageing
(2015)Understanding forest communities’ responses to climate change is central to global change ecology research. Access to large data sets from government sources has enabled extensive examinations of the effects of climate ... -
Species richness, species incidence and turnover of amphibians in Northwestern Ontario : assessing the role of habitat characteristics
(2004)There has been recent global concern over the decline of some amphibian populations. The loss of amphibian species is of concern because they play a crucial role in ecosystem structure and are indicators of ecosystem ... -
Specific binding sites for [H Dexamethasone and [H17B-Estradiol [17-Beta (Greek symbol)] in the hypothalamus of juvenile rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss
(1999)In bony fishes such as the rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, glucocorticoid (GC) and estrogenic hormones are associated with a variety of physiological functions. Most notable are effects of GCs which allow the animal ... -
Speed sensorless and MPPT control of IPM synchronous generator for wind energy conversion system
(2014-01-22)The popularity of renewable energy has experienced significant growth recently due to the foreseeable exhaustion of conventional fossil fuel power generation methods and increasing realization of the adverse effects that ... -
Spirituality in education : professorial viewpoints
(2006)There has been a dramatic rise in interest in spirituality over the last decade. Historically, universities began with a spiritual base. Today, superficially, education generally appears to have lost its spiritual emphasis. ... -
Sport in high school : the relationship of athletic participation, gender differences, and academic stream to self-esteem, academic achievement, and educational aspiration
(1997)The purpose of this study was to examine the interaction effects of athletic participation, gender, and academic stream with self-esteem, academic achievement, and educational aspiration. The sample (n=341) was drawn ... -
Sport perfectionism and risk factors of sport injury rehabilitation overadherence
(2018)Rehabilitation overadherence is a form of nonadherence in which individuals exceed practitioners’ guidelines regarding the rehabilitation of their injury, resulting in enhanced risk for re-injury and prolonged recovery ... -
Spotted knapweed plant management and restoration of native grassland in Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta
(2018)The province of Alberta is known for its prairies, which are ecosystems dominated by temperate grasslands. These grasslands contribute to flora and fauna biodiversity, but are the most endangered ecosystems in the region, ... -
Spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana Clem.) late-instar dispersal and impact on host-species natural regeneration in a boreal mixedwood forest of Ontario
(1996)Understory feeding by the spruce budworm ( Choristoneura fumiferana Clem.) has potential to alter the species composition of established regeneration and therefore the value of the future forest. This study sets out to ... -
Stable isotope (N,O,H) geochemistry, petrology and compositions of biotite of the Musselwhite Mine, Ontario : implications for mineralisation
(2008)Musselwhite mine is located 480 km. north of Thunder Bay, Northwestern Ontario on the southern shores of Opapimiskan Lake in the North Caribou Lake greenstone belt. It is classified as an orogenic gold deposit. -
Stage of change : relation to risk factors for binge eating and other health-risk behaviours among university women
(2004)The transtheoretical model delineates the different stages that individuals go through as they change maladaptive behaviours: precontemplation, contemplation, action, and maintenance (Prochaska, DiClemente, & Norcross, ... -
Stage structure must inform recovery in fish populations: a case for lake sturgeon in the Namakan River, Ontario
(2018)Lake sturgeon are a large bodied, slow maturing, intermittently reproducing acipenserid native to central North America. The species is a conservation concern range-wide because of population declines during the 19th and ... -
Stakeholder perspectives on climate change and adaptation in expedition cruise tourism in Nunavut
(2011)Climate change and tourism change are global phenomena (Keskitalo, 2008; Page, 2003). As climate change becomes more pronounced and the tourism industry continues to be susceptible to changes in climate (Coombes, Jones, ... -
Stakeholders' experiences of an interpretation accreditation system : a case study in Banff National Park, Canada / by Rosanna L. Maunder.
(2007)Previous research suggests that guided interpretation in nature-based settings has the potential to develop positive attitudes towards conservation and can foster appropriate visitor behavior in parks and protected areas. ... -

Stand density management implications on the woody quality of yellow birch (Betula alleghaniensis Britton) in the Sault Ste. Marie MNR District of Ontario
(2014)Creating quality tolerant hardwood stands through intensive silviculture and mapping their properties is considered a means for optimizing the value chain in Northeastern Ontario. A comprehensive literature review was ... -
Stand structural dynamics of boreal conifer, mixedwood, and broadleaf fire- and clearcut logging-origin stands in central Canada
(2006)Stand structure has been linked to forest regeneration, nutrient cycling, wildlife habitat, biodiversity, and climate regulation. A review and synthesis of literature indicated that boreal forest stand structure is ...
