Comparative analysis of alternative models of moose habitat carrying capacity
(1999)The focus of the project was to compare the performance of several alternative models in predicting the potential impacts of timber harvesting on a moose population northwest of Edmonton, Alberta, in terms of moose ... -
Comparative analysis of soil properties influenced by wildfire and sustainable forest licence harvesting practices
(2019)This thesis outlines the main differences and similarities between current forest harvesting practices and wildfire disturbances in the boreal forest. Boreal harvesting is carried out in a way that looks very similar to ... -
Comparative analysis of the properties of tamarack (Larix laricina (Du Roi) K. Koch) particleboard and thermally treated oriented strand board (OSB)
(2014)Engineered wood products (EWPs), for example, particleboard and oriented strand board (OSB), are normally made from wood residuals or small particles of underutilized wood species for replacing solid sawn products as its ... -
Comparative analysis of wood pellet parameters: Canadian case study
(2014-01-22)Canada is one of the world leaders in wood pellet production and export, however, domestic consumption is extremely low. In addition there is no national standard in Canada for wood pellets. The Canadian government announced ... -
Comparative assessment of SFMM/Stanley & COMPLAN for forest management planning in Ontario
(2002)The growing complexity of forest management planning issues requires the best planning tools available. A key question facing forest management planners in Ontario is whether SFMM (and its harvest-blocking tool Stanley) ... -
Comparative study of forest restoration projects in China and Philippines
(2020)This article mainly compares two restoration projects in developing countries, one in China and the other in the Philippines. Both developing countries are located in Asia and have similar population densities, and both ... -
Comparative study of individual versus group interventions for parents of hyperactive children
(1989)Many treatments including, diets and medication, have been documented as successful interventions for treating hyperactive children diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (A.D.D.).Because compliance and constant ... -
A Comparative study of min-sum based decoding algorithms for low density parity check codes
(2012-11-10)The demand for large scale broadband networks is gaining immense popularity for convenient access of information. A common concern of transmitting data through a wireless medium is the effects of noise on the signal. ... -
Comparative study of the lived experiences of Canadian-born and foreign-born Chinese Canadian students in Northern Ontario
(2006)Social and cultural adaptation may be issues of importance to students of Chinese origin in Canada, where both Canadian-born and foreign-born Chinese students often experience many problems of adjustment, including the ... -
Comparing Aboriginal community-based criteria and indicators in forest management planning
(2018)Criteria and indicator (C&I) frameworks have been developed and implemented on national and international scales to measure sustainable forest management. The purpose of this research is to examine the reasons why ... -
Comparing birch core plywood with traditional softwood plywood
(2020)Plywood made with birch cores is an important product in the European Union, and has potential to become an important product in North America. White birch in Ontario is currently an underutilized species. This paper ... -
Comparing Canonical and Dicer Substrate Small Interfering RNA and Their Effects on the Silencing of Two Common Human Papillomavirus 16 E6 Variants
(2015)High-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs), such as HPV16, cause nearly all cases of cervical cancer as well as a number of head and neck cancers. Over expression of the E6 oncoprotein helps drive the malignant phenotype, ... -
Comparing Chinese returning farmlands to forest project to Canadian nature forest restoration projects
(2020)This thesis compares the biggest human forest restoration project, Return Farmland to Forest Project (RFFP), in China to natural forest restoration (NFRP) in Canada. These two countries have the third and second largest ... -
Comparing optimal and actual forest road locations using least-cost analysis in QGIS
