A comparison microplastics effects on atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) and blue mussels (Mytilus edulis)
(2020)This thesis explores the potential impacts that can occur in Atlantic cod and blue mussels resulting from the ingestion of microplastic particles based on a review of previously published studies. This thesis summarizes ... -
Comparison of balance performance between boys with and without developmental coordination disorder
(2000)The purpose of the present study was to investigate the performance of 6 to 13 year old boys with and without Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) on two balance tasks: balance space and quiet standing. The participants ... -
A Comparison of beaver foraging behaviour in two national parks
(2012-11-10)Strategies adopted by foraging herbivores are influenced by the availability of resources. Beavers (Castor canadensis) are important ecosystem engineers, having the ability to modify the landscape through the consumption ... -
Comparison of Carbon Footprints: Mass Timer Buildings vs Steels – A Literature Review
(2020)Sustainability and innovation are key components in the fight against climate change. Mass timber buildings have been gaining popularity due to the renewable nature of timber. Although research comparing mass timber ... -
A comparison of decomposition of jack pine and trembling aspen wood blocks by eight wood decay fungi
(2017)Decay is an important component of the carbon cycle, as it breaks down wood and releases the stored carbon back into the atmosphere. White rot, brown rot, and soft rot are all types of decay which initiate this process. ... -
Comparison of forest fire regimes between Heilongjiang in China and Ontario
(2017)This research summarizes and compares the differences in forest fire regimes in the provinces of Ontario, Canada, and Heilongjiang, China, as it relates to fire suppression techniques, human activities, and climate change. ... -
Comparison of fructose and glucose ingestion before and during endurance cycling to exhaustion
(1995)The aim of this study was to compare the effect of pre-exercise and exercise ingestion of fructose and glucose during prolonged cycling exercise. The primary purpose was to determine if ingesting fructose before and ... -

Comparison of growth intercept and site index models of black spruce plantations and natural stands in Northern Ontario
(2008)Black spruce (Picea mariana Mill. B.S.P.) is one of the most important tree species in Canada, both ecologically and commercially. The forest industry has steadily increased efforts to artificially regenerate areas that ... -
Comparison of heart rate recovery from physical and mental stress
(1990)The present study evaluated a new paradigm for identifying individuals who show exaggerated, delayed physiological recovery following mental stress. Siibjects first performed a mental task, a face-to-face quiz, wliile ... -
Comparison of innovated thermoplastic polyurethane and commercial helmet lining technology in mitigating concussions as measured by linear accelerations and risk of head injury during simulated horizontal impacts to the head
(2020)Advances in helmet designs and technology have not completely eliminated the incidence of mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) in the sport of ice hockey. One issue that concerns researchers is that the vinyl nitrile ... -
Comparison of intrinsic motivation scores for two groups of pre-adolescent athletes
(2004)In order for an individual to successfully learn and execute a new movement skill it is expected that they will not only have achieved a specific level of understanding (i.e., cognition), but they will also have had to ... -
Comparison of methods to determine the carbonation depth in fly ash blended cement mortars
(2014-01-22)Carbonation negatively affects the durability of steel-reinforced concrete structures by causing a decrease in pore solution pH, thus facilitating corrosion which eventually leads to cracking and spalling. Different ... -
