Health, nutritional condition, and productivity of female moose (Alces alces) in Northwestern Ontario
(2003)Creation or maintenance of moose habitat through logging requires an understanding of how particular timber-harvest practices affect nutritional interactions of adult females and their subsequent production of young. I ... -
Healthy eating, exercise, weight and body image : the closer I get the better I feel
(2005)Many studies have found evidence showing that women are dissatisfied with their bodies. Self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987) may be particularly applicable to this area of study due to the difference between the North ... -
Heavy metal accumulation in a feather moss, Pleurozium schreberi, and soils in Northwestern Ontario
(1977)It has been determined that carpet-forming mosses are good indicators of heavy metal deposition, since they are dependent on their supply of nutrients from above rather than from the substrate. Samples of the common ... -
Hegemonic masculinity : just another day at the gym?
(2000)This thesis is an examination of masculinity and gym culture in a regional Canadian community. Through ethnographic observation and in depth interviews I explore the ways in which masculinity is Hterally embodied in the ... -
Height growth and site index of trembling aspen in north central Ontario
(1991)Height-growth and site-index curves were developed for estimating site quality of trembling aspen {Populus tremuloides Michx.) in north central Ontario. These curves were developed from stem analysis data of dominant ... -
Height, growth and site index of jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb) in the Thunder Bay area : a system of site quality evaluation
(1986)Height growth patterns and site index were studied using stem analyses taken from dominant and codominant trees growing on 109 plots located in mature, natural, fully stocked evenaged stands of jack pine {Pinus banksiana ... -
Hell with the future, let's get on with the past" : rivalry and revitalization in the Lakehead's central business districts, 1947-1980 / by John A. MacPhail.
(2000)“Would you tell me please, which way I ought to go from here?” asked Alice. “That depends a great deal on where you want to get to,” said the cat. Lewis Carroll’s, Alice in Wonderland, 1865. Victoriaville Centre was ... -
Hemlines and hairdos : body management for the feminine ideal in the Canadian Women's Army Corps
(1999)The onslaught of World War II (WWII) brought with it an unprecedented mobilization of the female population in both Allied and Axis countries, as well as a rapid "masculinizatlon " of women's roles. In the absence of ... -
Hemodialysis prescription : dose adequacy by continuous monitoring of fresh and spent dialysate conductivity
(2001)Measurement of hemodialysis treatment adequacy is essential to monitor quality assurance for today’s growing dialysis population. The universally accepted measure of hemodialysis dose is Kt/V. Kt/V above 1.2 has been ... -
Heterosexual romantic preferences : the importance of physical attractiveness and humour
Previous research on human mate preferences has found that individuals, especially males, regard physical attractiveness as a very important attribute in potential mates. In contrast, humour, which has also been found ... -
Higher dimensional numerical quadrature
(1973)This thesis contains a study of higher dimensional numerical quadrature, especially two dimensional Gregory quadrature. In Chapter I, we discuss the problem of approximation and integration, the reasons why numerical ... -
Higher order discretization of elliptic partial differential equations
(1979)Higher order finite difference methods are discussed with respect to speed and accuracy when used in the solution of elliptic partial differential equations. Although fast direct methods for solving elliptic ... -
Human-animal divide : anthropocentrism and education
(2007)This thesis is devoted to exploring anthropocentrism, the concept of human-centredness, as it relates to humans, animals, and education. Employing the philosophical research method of conceptual analysis and working with ... -
Humoral immune responding of the albino rat during phases of the estrous cycle
(1995)The relationship between estrous phase and immune response in female rats was studied using two designs. In the between subjects design, groups of five rats were tested for antigen binding capacity and estrous phase on ... -
Hydrolysis of silicone polymers in aqueous systems
(2001)Silicon-29 and 'H NMR spectroscopy were used to investigate the hydrolysis of methyl silicones in a variety of aqueous environments. Dilute acid, dilute base and one or more of the dissolved constituents of blood plasma ... -
Hydrostatic pressure effect on the electrical conductivity of indium antimonide
(1976)The electrical conductivity of n-type InSb in the temperature range 77K - 300K has been calculated by using the Boltzmann equation with a relaxation time ansatz. The tv/o dominant scattering mechanisms in this temperature ... -
Hydrostatic pressure effect on the Gunn threshold electric effect in n-InSb
(1978)The Gunn effect as a function of pressure has been studied in n~type InSb. The Gunn threshold field is found to decrease with increasing pressure reaching a minimum at P ~ 9 kbars. It then increases while the oscillations ...
