(1995)This is an enthnographic study of six elementary classroom teachers in a large southern Ontario school board of over 100 schools. The study addresses the problem of reconciling commonly assumed theories in the field and ... -
Curvature-density functional theory of shape transformation in vesicles of two-component lipid systems
(2006)The shape transformations and composition variation of two-component model lipid membrane isolated vesicles are studied. These are studied as aggregates in low concentration solutions so that the vesicles are isolated ... -
Cutting grass : the uncertainty of coming of age in the post-Fordist era
(2000)An ethnographic description and analysis of a small group of young adult males (Kingston, Ontario) trying to make the transition from employment as a youth into the adult world of work. Discussion of the interrelationships ... -
Cyborgology and the limits of human and machine implosion
(2003)Introduction Anxiety accompanies human/machine intersections. This condition is, however, relatively new. Early work on machinic extensions of humans (men in particular) for space travel occurred at roughly the same ... -
Cytological studies of Inonotus tomentosus
(1988)Cytological studies revealed irregularities in the nuclear life cycle of Inonotus tomentosus. The mycelia was multinucleate and the nuclei were found in groups of two to six. By the time the nuclei reached the subhymenium ... -
Daguerreotype as analogy for Whitman's Leaves of Grass
(1993)We commence our examination of the kaleidoscopic range of connections between Whitman and the daguerreotype with a simple, unpretentious news column by Whitman entitled "Visit to Plumbe’s Gallery". This leads to ... -
Database anonymization and protections of sensitive attributes
(2008)The importance of database anonymization has become increasingly critical for organizations that publish their database to the public. Current security measures for anonymization poses different manner of drawbacks. ... -
Dating preferences in later life
(2004)Proponents of evolutionary theory assert that mate selection preferences are affected by the biology of reproduction, and that sex differences in mate preferences reflect biological differences regarding reproduction. ... -
Dawn of discovery : Margaret Atwood's Morning in the burned house

Decomposition of 2-propanol over vanadium pentoxide and modified vanadium pentoxide catalysts
(1977)The catalytic decomposition of 2-propanol has been investigated in a flow system from 200-300°C on vanadium pentoxide and modified vanadium pentoxide catalysts. Dehydration, dehydrogenation and propane formation were ... -
Defective cognitive inhibition in depression
(2002)This study examined attentional inhibition in depressed and nondepressed individuals using a computerized negative priming task. Previous research has suggested that defective inhibition may explain the selective attention ... -

A supracrustal sequence of rocks near Manitouwadge, Ontario consists of metavolcanlc rocks, Including pillow lavas, banded iron formation, amphibolite, and a quartzofe1dspathic hornblende-blotite gneiss. This rock has ... -
Degenerate four wave mixing in biased semiconductor superlattices
(2001)Includes material on semiconductor Bloch equations, the Wannier-Stark ladder and Bloch oscillation theory. It also develops the equations of motion which allow calculation of the DFWM signal for biased semiconductor ... -
Demonstration and evaluation of hemoglobin and hematocrit testing as support services in preparing elite swimmers for serious competition
(1982)These studies demonstrated and evaluated the usefulness of hemoglobin concentrations (Hb gm%) and hematocrit percentages (Hct %) in the preparation of elite swimmers for serious competition. Study 1 monitored Hb and Hct ... -
Density dependent extinction : phase II
(1993)In two separate experiments, an 8 rat 8 station operant arena was used to study resistance to extinction to test learning and optimal foraging theories of behaviour. The learning theory, called the generalized decrement ... -
