Shape variation in the talus and medial cuneiform of chimpanzees and bonobos
(2021)Establishing form-function relationships between anatomy and locomotor behaviours in extant taxa provides critical context for interpretations of extinct species. This study used 3D geometric morphometric methods to ... -
Shared response and young adolescent readers' comprehension and re-interpretation of picture books
(1999)This study describes the relationship between shared response and the comprehension and re-interpretation of picture books with four members of a response group of students in a grade 7/8 class during the implementation ... -
The sharing of traditional aboriginal knowledge of pipe carriers from Winnipeg, Manitoba and the implications for the health of Aboriginal Peoples living in urban centers
(2013-02-01)Aboriginal peoples are part of the history and culture of Canada. The history is a tragedy as the Europeans exerted control of the land, resources and Aboriginal peoples themselves. The years of control, oppression and ... -
Shigometer and electrical resistance studies of paper birch
(1990)The Shigometer was evaluated as an instrument for detecting red heart of paper birch. The Shigometer accurately detected the presence of red heart at a 50% decrease from the maximum reading rule but sometimes failed to ... -
Shoreline forest disturbance rates in natural and managed forests of northwestern Ontario
(2004)The purpose of this study was to compare the rates of disturbance along forested shorelines between natural and managed forests of the mesic boreal region of northwestern Ontario. Comparisons were made between areas that ... -
Short circuit: Ontario's electrical utilities, Northern Ontario, and the metabolic rift, 1906-1998
(2017)The theory of the metabolic rift offers historians and ecologists alike a new means of exploring the relationship between humans, nature, and capital. Based on the works of Karl Marx, the theory of the metabolic rift argues ... -
Short-term retention of flexibility in varsity ice hockey players / by Claude Daniel Chevrier. --
(1981, c198)The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of various stretching exercises on flexibility during competition-specific activities. A Leighton FI exometer was used to measure flexibility. Testing and training ... -
Sibley Group : a lithostratigraphic, geochemical, and paleomagnetic study
(2003)The Sibley Group is an unmetamorphosed Mesoproterozoic red bed sequence, commonly flat lying, that formed in an intracratonic basin between 1450 Ma and 1500 Ma. It covers an area o f 15,000 km^, and reaches a total ... -

(1996)The silviculture and growth and yield of neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss.) grown in individual and community plantations in the Tamale Forest District of Northern Ghana was investigated in 1995. Owing to rising populations ... -
Simple route to new palladium-carbonyl-bis(diphenylphosphino)methane complexes
The method of synthesizing metal-carbonyl-dppm complexes [dppm = bis(diphenylphosphino)methane) devised by Holah and Hughes has been extended to include palladium. Specifically, reductions of palladium salts by NaBH4 ... -
Simple technique for measuring maximum aerobic capacity and its relation to state of training
(1978)In the past maximum aerobic power tests have been the standard means for measuring the trained state. Recent literature, however, states that the ability to work aerobically at a high percentage of one's maximum aerobic ... -
Simulated accelerated evolution by modeling the rapid fixation of bacteria along an antibiotic gradient
