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 ... -

(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 ... -
"I was a good girl when he married me" : issues of respectability and gender in a Northern Ontario murder trial / by Cheryl Elizabeth Shaw.
(2007)At the heart of this thesis is a trial, R. v. Clara Irene St. Cyr. In 1948 Clara was a thirty-two year old mother of six. Bom in St. Lucie, Quebec but raised in Gogama, Ontario, she was eighteen when she met Jerome “Jerry” ... -

(2006)This thesis examines the construction of the gangster figure as embodied by Michael Corleone in Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather, The Godfather Part II and The Godfather Part III. The examination of Michael is ... -
Identification of wetlands on the Canadian boreal plain and their contributions to stream water chemistry
(2006)The Alberta Wetland Inventory (AWI), which is used in a variety of applications across the province to estimate wetland cover from aerial photographs, detected only 34% of confirmed wetland field plots in boreal forest ... -
Identifying responders to a driving refresher course using neuropsychological tests : an examination of older drivers
(2003)The older driving population is continuing to increase, and with age comes cognitive and physical changes that may negatively affect driving abilities. Despite the aging process, researchers have found that age is not ... -
Identity development and perceived parental behaviour as sources of adolescent egocentrism
(1993)Adolescent egocentrism involves heightened self-consciousness and feelings of uniqueness and invulnerability (Elkind, 1967). Some studies have found that adolescent egocentrism is associated with identity development, ... -
Image, symbol, and the life of the imaginaton in the works of Sinclair Ross
Until very recently, studies of the works of Sinclair Ross have over-looked his literary artistry to focus on his place among those writers whose time and place is the Canadian prairie during the Depression, Ross’s ...
