(2018)This paper examines the impact of prior crash risk on insider trading behaviour using a sample of Chinese A-share firms for the 2010-2015 period. Prior crash risk is publicly available information yet represents a source ... -
Stories of practice : preservice teachers' perceptions of information and communications technology
(2009-05-28)This thesis investigates the perceptions of information and communications technology (ICT) held by four preservice teachers as they engage in their first field-based practicum. Perceptions result from interactions between ... -
Stories of the cystorhood: exploring women’s experiences with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: implications for education, self-perception, and medicalization
(2016-01-05)The overarching purpose of this study is to explore the experiences of women with PCOS in more detail to provide further knowledge of the syndrome, to educate others, and reduce stigma – for all women, with or without ... -
Strategies to prevent falls in the elderly: effect of a 10-week Taiji training program on proprioception, functional strength and mobility, and postural adaptation
(2015-06-15)The impact of elderly falls on the Canadian health care system is widespread. Balance and motor coordination are commonly affected during the aging process due to declining proprioception (Ribeiro & Oliveira, 2007). In ... -
Strategies to reduce the decline of wild bumble bees in North America: are they working?
(2020)Bumble bees are major pollinators of the world’s agricultural crops and wild plants and, as such, play a key role in maintaining economic prosperity and biodiversity. The decline of wild bumble bees in North America has ... -
Stratigraphic architecture of a paleoproterozoic iron formation depositional system : the Gunflint, Mesabi and Cuyuna iron ranges
(1996)Understanding iron formation depositional processes has been hindered by the lack of precise modern analogues. However, by combining a regional basin analysis of sedimentary and volcanic rocks surrounding an iron formation ... -
Stratigraphy of the western Lake St. Joseph greenstone terrain, Northwestern Ontario
(1981)The western Lake St. Joseph area in Northwestern Ontario is underlain by Archean metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks. The strata, referred to as the Lake St. Joseph Group comprise three formations representative of ... -
Stratigraphy of two late paleozoic basins : implication for the timing of final emplacement of the Meguma terrane
(1990)Paleoraagnetic studies indicate the Meguma terrane's final emplacement occurred between the Mid-Devonian and Early Permian. Lithostratigraphic units near the boundary of the terrane were investigated in order to provide ... -
Stratigraphy, structure and metamorphism of Archean rocks at Rainy Lake, Ontario
(1980)The rocks of the Rainy Lake area have been deformed during three distinctive episodes. Minor structures provide the geometry which characterizes each episode. The youngest structures include regional faults, a crenulation ... -
Strength and risk in incarcerated youth
(2002)Assessment of delinquent youth typically centers around deficits and pathologies. There is an emerging consensus that identifying strengths and protective factors is crucial to develop programs that adequately address ... -
Strength-based programming for juvenile offenders
(2002)Strength-based assessment and intervention directs professionals to identify and build on the strengths and competencies of youth and their families. Although this strength-based approach has been used and evaluated ... -
Stress and Lifestyle Management Group Therapy Program
(1986)Excessive stress can be debilitating when it is not under careful control. The development of a Stress and Lifestyle Management Group Therapy Program was designed to instruct people who have a low stress tolerance, to ... -
Structural and metamorphic control on the Borden gold deposit, Chapleau, Ontario
(2016)The Borden gold property is a multi-million-ounce deposit that is located 10 km east of Chapleau and 160 km southwest of Timmins. It occurs within the Wawa Subprovince of the Archean Superior Province. What is atypical ... -
Structural determinations by analytical analysis of 7-phosphanorbornadiene derivatives and amino acid enantiomers
(2000)The purpose of Chapter 1 is to create a bicyclic, two-coordinate phosphorus derivative in the form of a 2,3-benzo-l,4,5,6-tetraphenyl-7-phosphanorbomadiene anion and measure its experimental 3,P NMR chemical shift. This ... -
Structural fire performance of bolted glulam beam-to-column concealed connections
(2018)Recent increased interest in the application of engineered-wood products, such as glued-laminated (glulam) timber and cross-laminated timber (CLT), in the Canadian building construction market has prompted amendments to ... -
Structure and magnetic fabric of the Quetico metasedimentary rocks in the Calm Lake - Perch Lake area, near Atikokan, Northwestern Ontario
(1987)The Quetico metasedimentary rocks are the metamorphosed equivalents of a turbidite sequence, comprised of a repetative interstratification of sandstones and mudstones. The rocks are metamorphosed to lower greenschist ... -
Structure and mobility of lignin in relation to pulp washing and bleaching
(1997)The roles of molecular size and structure were investigated in relation to the extent of peroxide bleaching and lignin adsorption on pulp. Structural analysis of components from effluents generated by peroxide bleaching ... -
Structure and reactivity studies of simple phospholes
(1977)Newer techniques of phosphole synthesis, particularly those which lead to simple phospholes substituted with active functional groups, are briefly surveyed. A detailed account of chemical, physico-chemical, spectroscopic ...
