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, ... -
Black bear attacks in Canada and a review of the factors influencing them
(2022)Canada has experienced numerous black bear attacks over the last several decades. The purpose of this study is to determine if there is an increase in the number of black bear attacks in Canada. Data came from various ... -
Black girls and school disciplinary mechanisms
(2023)This study explores the disproportionate discipline of Black Girls in Ontario’s K-12 publicly funded schools. The current literature exploring racially disproportionate discipline and the school-to-prison pipeline obscures ... -
Black lives matter: On challenging the soul of legal education
(Elsevier, 2021)In 2020, the Black Lives Matter movement moved to the fore. Many Americans understood for the first time that racism persists in countless aspects of American society and that the legacy of our past is deep and structural. ... -
Black spruce (Picea mariana [Mill.] B.S.P.) boreal ecosystems : how tree-length and full-tree harvesting affects soil microbial populations
(2000)To evaluate the hypothesis that microbial populations are affected by organic biomass removals, a study was designed to complement ongoing work in a black spruce {Picea mariana [Mill.] B.S.P.) Boreal ecosystem. The ... -
Black Spruce (Picea mariana) Regeneration in Post-fire Cryptogamic Mats
