Object-oriented and pixel-based image classification using Landsat multispectral and Hyperion hyperspectral imagery in boreal conditions
(2008)Current environmental trends dictate a need for new methods, initiatives, and technologies that provide reliable, up-to-date forest information. Canada, which is home to ten percent of the Earth's forests, has made national ... -
Object-oriented implementation of Prolog
(1993)Logic programming is a discipline of describing problems in high-level abstraction by separating logic from control. Conventional Prolog interpretation or compilation models take a procedural view of Prolog programs. A ... -
Observation of behavioral principles in baseball performance
(1984)Three studies were done to demonstrate that formalized sports can be used to test or observe the operation of psychological phenomena. Major league baseball was chosen as the representative sport, in part because of ... -
Observation of bilayer growth in the initial epitaxy of pseudomorphic Mg on Mo(001)
(1999)Epitaxial growth of thin films on solid substrates is of great interest because it allows for the creation of materials with morphologies and chemical compositions which are not found in nature. The size o f electronic ... -
Observer-based chaos synchronization for secure communications
(2006)Chaos, with reference to chaos theory, refers to an apparent lack of order in a system that, nevertheless, obeys particular laws or rules. The chaotic signals generated by chaotic systems have some properties such as ... -
Off the beaten track : messaging as a means to reducing depreciative behaviour in a national park
(2005)Over the 2004 peak visitor season, a covert observational study was conducted at St. Lawrence Islands National Park, Ontario, Canada to assess the extent of social trail use on two islands. The study examined the ... -
Ojibway plant taxonomy at Lac Seul First Nation, Ontario, Canada
(2000)The Ojibway (Anishinabe) of Lac Seul First N ation reside in the transition zone of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence and southern Boreal Forest regions of northwestern Ontario, Canada. Hunting and gathering of certain animal ... -
Old-growth forests and timber supply : a case study from the boreal forest
(1997)Historically in Canada, old-growth forest preservation concerns, research, and analyses have centred on the stately coniferous forests of British Columbia (e.g., Clayoquot Sound). Within the past decade, however, the ... -
Older adults as volunteers in Thunder Bay
(1993)This is a descriptive and exploratory study which examines the characteristics and expressed motivations among older adults in Thunder Bay toward volunteerism and if altruism is in fact the main reason for why older ... -
Older adults' use of memory strategies and self-reported medication compliance : a metacognitive model
(2000)Fifty community-dwelling adults aged 51-83 years of age (M=70.1, SD=7.61) reported their medication compliance and their use of memory strategies. The first goal of the present study was to replicate Gould McDonald-Miszczak, ... -
"Omens of good and evidences of evil" : gender and respectability in the Thunder Bay Sentinel, 1875-1895
(2001)An exploration of late-Victorian ideals of masculinity and femininity, as well as masculine-feminine social and economic roles, through the pages of the Thunder Bay Sentinel (a weekly newspaper, Port Arthur, Ontario, ... -
On the perfect orderability of unions of two graphs
(1996)A graph G is perfectly orderable if it admits an order < on its vertices such that the sequential coloring algorithm delivers an optimum coloring on each induced subgraph (H, <) of (G, <). A graph is a threshold graph ... -
On the spectrum G of a locally compact group G
(1999)Separation properties of the Fell topology, on the spectrum G of a locally compact group G, characterize important properties of G. We will develop three equivalent ways to describe the Fell topology on the spectrum  ... -
On-ice acceleration as a function of the Wingate anaerobic test and a biomechanical assessment of skating technique in elite ice hockey players
(2000)Success in ice hockey depends on an individual’s ability to accelerate from a standing start or change direction and continue skating quickly and efficiently. Previous research to determine those factors which had the ... -
On-line estimation of first order plus dead time process parameters based on under or over-parameterized models
(2007)Simple on-line process identification methods that can be used in tuning PID controllers or any other controllers have been studied in this work. The underlying continuous-time first order plus dead time FOPDT process model ... -
On-line optimization of thermomechanical pulping rejects screen using modified sequential simplex method
(2003)The sequential simplex method (SSM) was blended with the Nelder and Mead method to create two separate simplex methods. The first method is the Equilateral Optimum Following Simplex (EOFS). In this method, the simplex ... -
Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources Hearst District thermal regime stream assessment
(2002)Forest ecosystems today are continually under pressure from a variety of special interests including timber operations. A goal of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources to aid natural ecosystems by providing forest ... -
Ontario teachers' reasons for choosing to teach outside Canada
(2001)This study examines the factors that influence Ontario teachers’ decisions to teach outside Canada. Deciding factors were derived from previous studies related to career choice and career change and involved concepts ... -
Ontogeny of the fetal immune response to maternal smoking in relation to allergic asthma
(2001)The relationship between maternal smoking and the prenatal origins of allergic disease was studied in 78 mothers (in Thunder Bay, Ontario) and their newborns with a sensitive test for interleukin-4, interferon-y, and ...
