Using trail camera imagery to develop a habitat suitability index (HSI) For moose (Alces alces) In the English River Forest, ON
(2019)Moose are a valuable economic and ecological resource in Ontario. Understanding their spatial distribution throughout the forest is essential for managing populations and preserving habitat. One method of identifying the ... -
Using TV programs as a source of input to acquire idioms/idiomatic expressions for intermediate learners of English as a second language
(1994)For intermediate and advanced learners of English as a second language (ESL), language improvement lies mainly in the expansion of vocabulary (Alexander, 1984). The command of idioms/idiomatic expressions is an important ... -
Using unmanned aerial vehicles and wildlife camera trapping for the early assessment of road reclamation effects in Northern Ontario
(2019)The forest industry has been performing forest road reclamation to regenerate forests after harvest, to maintain wildlife habitat and to limit forest access by the public, all to help maintain large, contiguous wild forests. ... -
Using vehicular traffic count data to estimate the factors driving water-based recreation use in northwestern Ontario, Canada
(2010)Within Canada's publicly owned forests (i.e., Crown forests), little information is available about how and when people use lakes and rivers for recreation. I report an example of using traffic monitoring to identify both ... -
The utility of molecular DNA markers for monitoring population trends and genetic structure of woodland caribou
(2021)The use of non-invasive genetic sampling techniques is becoming frequent in the field of conservation. An examination of population trends of woodland caribou in Canada reveals the potential for fecal DNA analysis. Various ... -
Utility of the theory of planned behaviour in health services research when examining the intentions of immunization provider behaviour
(2009)This paper will demonstrate the need for public health involvement with health services research in order to effectively meet its' mandate for achieving population health. The success of our public health programs requires ... -
Utilization of alternative testing methods in the evaluation of pulp and paper mill effluent toxicity
(2020)Pulp mills are required to perform routine regulatory testing to ensure the effluent they release from their water treatment plants is not harmful to humans and the environment. The key components within the effluent ... -
Utilization of coal biomass fly ash in the control and treatment of acid mine drainage
(2009)This study investigated the feasibility of using coal/biomass fly ash (CBFA) blended with various percentages of mine tailings, bentonite, and glacial till soil to control and treat acid mine drainage (AMD). Applications ... -
Utilization of hydrodynamic modeling in predicting water quality and Brook Trout habitat: reclamation of a mine impacted Boreal Shield Lake
(2020)Mining operations in Ontario are subject to regulatory limits on effluent release into surrounding waterbodies designed to preserve aquatic life. However, said guidelines may not always be enough to prevent damage to the ... -
Utilization of primary health care nurse practitioners in rural northern communities to alleviate the physician shortages and retention issues
(2008)The purpose of this research project is to critically examine primary health care services and analyze alternative solutions to the physician recruitment and retention issue in rural, northern, and remote communities in ... -
Utilization of wood based hemicellulose pre-hydrolysate for the production of high value added platform chemicals
(2017)The immense benefits of using renewable resources are because they can reduce global warming and other environmental issues which directly affect life on earth. Forest residues serve as potential renewable resources which ... -
UWB localization for autonomous indoor position control of VTOL UAVs
(2018)As the popularity of quadrotor Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) grows, the need for reliable position estimation and control grows as well. Furthermore, with the size of these quadrotors ... -
