Sedimentology and sequence stratigraphy of the paleoproterozoic Rove and Virginia formations, southwest Superior Province
(2006)The Paleoproterozoic Rove and Virginia Formations are lithostratigraphically and chronostratigraphically correlative units which comprise the upper sedimentary strata in the Animikie basin. They sharply overlie an intensely ... -
Sedimentology and stratigraphy of the northern and central metasedimentary belts in the Beardmore-Geraldton area of northern Ontario
(1987)The northern and central metasedimentary belts (NMB, CMB) are east-trending, regional (formation- to group-scale) iithostratigraphic units within the Beardmore-Geraldton Archean terrane of northern Ontario's Superior ... -
Seeing education through two pairs of eyes : an investigation of community involvement in the education system of a Northern Cree community
(2005)This qualitative emergent research study investigated the perceptions of involvement of Aboriginal community members in the formal secondary education system of a Northern Cree community by using a grounded theory approach. ... -
Seeing without rods or cones: contributions of intrinsically-photosensitive retinal ganglion cells to the image-forming visual system
(2014-01-22)It was long thought that rods and cones were the only components of the mammalian retina capable of conveying light information to the brain. Recently, a novel class of transduction-capable retinal ganglion cells containing ... -
Segmented hollow core photonic crystal fiber as a gas cell
(2022)Developing a unique gas cell based on hollow core photonic crystal fiber (HC- PCF) improving its ability to be used in measurements which require higher temporal resolution. Traditional HC-PCF is an excellent candidate ... -
Seismic performance evaluation of reinforced concrete bridge piers considering postearthquake capacity degradation
(2021)Bridges play a key role in the transportation sector while serving as lifelines for the economy and safety of communities. The need for resilient bridges is especially important following natural disasters, where they ... -
Selected ion flow tube-mass spectrometry in plant volatile compound analysis
(2009-07-20)Four monoterpenes and two monoterpenoids, (+)- and DL-limonene, (1S)-(3) carene, terpinolene, cineol and rose oxide, respectively, were studied using selected ion flow tube-mass spectrometry. Specifically, the reactions ... -
Selecting locations for forest fuel treatments using simulation optimization
(2009)Wildfires in the Canadian boreal forest poses a considerable threat to forest inventory, structures and human lives. Traditional reactive methods of fire suppression fail to mitigate this threat and can worsen the problem ... -
Self tuned NFC and adaptive hysteresis based DTC scheme for IM drive
(2011)The concept of field oriented control scheme brought the revolutionary change in industrial drives. Due to the high initial and running costs of the DC machines, the trend shifted from DC to AC motor drives to obtain high ... -
Self-assembled thin films of thiocyanate and selenocyanate bithiophenes
(2015-06-15)Presented herein is the organic synthesis and thin film (TF) assembly of six alkyl-substituted thiocyante and selenocyante bithiophene molecules: NCSe-T2-Hx, NCS-T2-Hx, NCS-Hx-T2-Hx, NCSe- Hx-T2-Hx, NCS-Hx-T2-Hx-SCN and ... -
Self-assembly of dithiol monolayers on Au(III)
(2001)This thesis compares the self-assembly of octanethiol, a representative n-alkanethiol, with dithiothreitol (DTT) on Au (lll). Octanethiol is on eight carbon n-alkanethiol while DTT is a four carbon Q ,(i) dithiol ... -
Self-balancing five-level current source inverters
(2024)Five-level current source inverters (CSIs) inherit the advantages including voltageboosting capability, absence of dv/dt issues, and reliable short-circuit protection, etc. In addition, they have better harmonic performance ... -
Self-concept integration and its relationship with resilience and well-being
(2018)The overall purpose of the study was to evaluate if three forms of self-concept integration (i.e., authenticity, consistency, and valence/evaluative integration) relate to resilience and well-being. Additionally, the study ... -
Self-consistent driven Bloch oscillations in excitonic Wannier-Stark ladder
(2001)In this thesis, we present a theoretical model of Self-consistent driven Bloch oscillations (SCD BO) of different types of charge carriers in biased semiconductor superlattices photoexcited via ultra-short near-bandgap ... -
Self-esteem : the experience of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) adolescents
(1999)This study examines the levels of self-esteem of 10 attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) Grade 8 adolescents. It researches, through an examination of the existing literature and the means of statistical ... -
Self-esteem in learning disabled children : the role of social competence
(1995)This study compared the self-esteem of a group of twenty-one socially and behaviourally competent learning disabled (LD) children, aged 8-12, with that of a group of fifteen socially and behaviourally competent normally ... -
Self-evident shams : metafiction and comedy in three of Flann O'Brien's novels
(1998)The aim of this thesis is to analyse the connections between comedy and metafiction evident in Flann O’Brien’s At Swim-Two-Birds, The Third Policeman and The Hard Life. The following pages discuss how these novels express, ... -
Self-silencing and depression in women : examining the role of social support as a moderator
(2009)In almost all populations there is a significant sex difference in the rate of depression, with women being twice as likely to be depressed as compared to men (Bebbington, 1996; Kuehner, 2003) Numerous theories have been ... -
Self-silencing, depressed mood, and anger expression and the meanings behind self-silencing within intimate relationships
(2005)The present study investigates the silencing the self theory (STS, Jack, 1991) which proposes that more women than men are depressed (Benazzi, 2000) because of their greater tendency to self-silence in relationships to ...
