Biogenic lead levels in human skeletal remains from the cemetery of the British Royal Navy hospital (1793-1822CE) at English Harbour, Antigua West Indies
(2015)Though lead has been known to be a cause of human poisoning since ancient times, it was a widely used metal. The relationship between ancestry or age and lead exposure in the Colonial period of Antigua, West Indies was ... -
Biological activities of select North American lichens
(2017)The search for novel, pharmacologically significant compounds is a perpetual quest on which biologists, chemists, and bioinformaticians incessantly embark. The sources of these compounds are often of natural origin, making ... -
Biological aspects of the biopulping fungus Ceriporiopsis subvermispora
(2002)The specific activity of four isolates of C. subvermispora media was found to be quite variable. Growth on PDA was the fastest compared to other common nutrient media. Cardinal temperatures for growth were optimum at ... -
Biological studies of muramyl dipeptide analogues as potential ligands for NOD2 receptor
(2023)The human body’s survival against various foreign disease-causing organisms solely depends on the protection provided by our body's immune system. Our body's complex yet effective immune system comprises cells, molecules ... -
Biology and histopathology of Proteocephalus ambloplitis Liedy, 1887, infecting walleye (Stizostedion vitreum vitreum) and yellow perch (Perea flavescens) in Lake of the Woods, Ontario
(1985)Walleye (Stizostedion vitreum vitreum ) and yellow perch (Perea flavescens ) from Lake of the Woods were examined for parenteral Proteocephalus ambloplitis from May to November, 1982 and 1983. One hundred percent of ... -
Biology of "peak" and "late" nesting Ring-billed gulls, Granite Island, Lake Superior
(1982)Late-nesting Ring-billed Gulls in this study laid fewer and smaller eggs and hatched fewer young than earlier nesting pairs. Birds nesting late in the season appeared to lack sufficient stimuli for incubation, as indicated ... -
Biology of Cystidicola farionis Fischer, 1798 (Nematoda : Cystidicolidae) in salmonid fishes
(1987)Morphological studies, experimental cross-infections and host specificity data suggest that the species of swimbladder nematode which matures in Coregonus clupeaformis, from inland lakes is not distinct from Cystidicola ... -
Biology of rumen flukes (Trematoda: Paramphistomatidae) in moose, Alces alces L., in northwestern Ontario
(1985)Paramphistoines {Parampbistomum sp.) were found in 86% of 160 moose rumens collected from northwestern Ontario at all seasons of the year. All moose older than 2.4 years were infected. The number of flukes per moose ranged ... -
Biology of the gastro-intestinal helminths of woodland and barren-ground caribou (Rangifer tarandus)
(1987)Twenty-one species of helminths were recovered from wild and captive caribou (Rangifer tarandus). Woodland caribou of the Slate Islands, barren-ground caribou of the Beverly herd and captive woodland caribou were parasitized ... -
Biomass energy potential of forest harvest residue in Northwestern Ontario
Woody biomass contributes less than 6% of total energy production in Canada. Based on previous data relating to the supply, quality and economic potential, this compilation of relevant data provides an estimation on the ... -
Biomechanical characteristics of development age hockey players : determining the confounding effects of body size on the assessment of skating technique
(2002)Skating ability, and more specifically the ability to accelerate from a stationary position or change direction rapidly, is recognized as one of the most important skills in ice hockey. While coaches may use drills to ... -
Biomechanical constraints on intra-limb coordination in boys with and without development coordination disorder
(2012-11-10)It is known that children with DCD have difficulties organizing actions involving coordination between limbs or limb pairs (e.g., Astill, 2007; Volman, Laroy, & Jongmans, 2006). It is also apparent that a coalition of ... -
The biomechanical effects of rotator cuff taping on muscle activity and throwing velocity in fatigued baseball players
(2020)Introduction: Due to the repetitive, high forces and torques placed on an individual during a baseball pitch, shoulder pain is present in 46-57% of pitchers. Therapeutic taping has been used in various sports including ... -
Bioremediation of contaminated soils from mine sites using native plants in Northwestern Ontario
(2016)Practical and scientific importance can be found in this research topic since the results directly apply to remediation of industrial and mined lands in the boreal forest region. Plants suitable for phytostabilization of ... -
Biosynthesis of ω–hydroxy fatty acid polyesters in Nicotiana tabacum stigmas
(2023)The aerial surfaces of all land plants are covered by hydrophobic lipid barriers that contain a core structure of polyesters derived from hydroxy fatty acids and glycerol. One type of surface lipid polyester is found in ... -
Bisphenol A : how media and special interest groups influenced the ban on BPA
(2010)Recently, there has been great dispute about the effects of bisphenol A (herein referred to as BPA) leaching into baby bottles. This led to Canada being the first country to ban BPA in baby bottles in April of 2008 (CBC, ... -
