Detecting trends in walleye (Stizostedion v. vitreum, Mitchill) abundance using catch-effort data
(1995)Three methods of analyzing catch-effort data were investigated regarding their relationship to walleye abundance: mean CUE, Gini coefficient and the relative frequency of zero CUE (RFZ). Walleye recreational fishery ... -
Detection and assessment of Armillaria in young conifer plantations of northwestern Ontario and northeastern China
(1991)Methods for detecting and evaluating Armillaria in plantations were compared in a series of studies. The purposes of the studies were to standardize the Armillaria trapping technique, and to determine if it could be used ... -
Detection and characterization of DNA damage
(2009)The DNA molecule is constantly subjected to endogenous and exogenous sources of damage which if left unrepaired can lead to genotoxic and cytotoxic outcomes. These lesions have been implicated in the development of numerous ... -
Detection of Campylobacter jejuni in poultry samples using Florescent in situ Hybridization (FISH)
(2004)In this study, a protocol using Fluorescent in situ Hybridization (FISH) for the detection of Campylobacter spp., particularly C. jejuni, in naturally contaminated poultry samples was developed and its application evaluated. ... -
Detection of Deoxyribonucleic Acid Damage Induced by Metal Ion Interactions and Repair of Metal Ion Deoxyribonucleic Acid Cross-links
(2010-08-17)There are many forms of DNA damage. One of these, DNA-metal cross-links are particularly problematic as they not only affect the tautomeric structure of DNA, but can also inhibit enzymatic activity and block amplification ... -
Detection, identification, and mitigation of false data injection attacks and faults in vehicle platooning
(2023)Smart vehicles are designed leveraging advanced hardware, including sensors, and cuttingedge technologies, such as artificial intelligence, Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication, and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) ... -
Determinant variables in seasonal migration cessation
(1992)Past research into the seasonal migration of the elderly has mainly focused on how health and economic systems are affected by this group as well as how social and kinship ties are maintained by active participants. ... -
Determinants of incidents in a forensic psychiatric program
(2002)Nursing staff in forensic psychiatric contexts are significantly more likely to be the victims of assault-related incidents than patients. Evidence in the scientific literature warrants the consideration of interpersonal ... -
Determination of a physical health index based on the national population health survey and an evaluation of the index on a workplace sample
(2002)There have been myriads of health factors identified in the literature that influence human health and well-being. Often times, health is broken up into several dimensions such as social, physical, spiritual, emotional, ... -
Determining genetic resistance to jack pine budworm defoliation in jack pine from different geographic seed sources across Ontario
(2020)Jack pine budworm is an outbreak insect that defoliates jack pine forests across Canada. While it is a native species, the outbreaks can have severe economic impacts, such as loss of timber volume and increased risk of ... -
Determining the "spread of effects" of physical activity interventions from children to Parents/Guardians
(2014-01-22)The purpose of this research was to determine whether parental involvement in a physical activity intervention delivered to children in-school could result in positive behaviour change in parents (“spread of effects”), as ... -
Determining the accuracy of terrestrial LiDAR on red pine
(2019)This paper reviews the capabilities of the FARO Terrestrial LiDAR technology to produce accurate forest measurements. The study was conducted on single Red Pine trees in Northern Ontario. Field measurements were compared ... -
Determining the predictability of acute mountain sickness using a regression analysis
(2010)AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness) is an altitude-related illness that occurs as a direct result of hypoxia. To date there is no consistent diagnostic measurement tool, leaving AMS as a subjectively-measured illness. An exploratory ... -
