Metrization and sigma bases
(1969)In this thesis, we use the concept of sigma base to study the metrizability of various topological spaces. Chapter 1 is devoted to the definition of basic terms, a proof of Urysohn's Metrization Theorem, and an introduction ... -
Microbial toxicity assessment and biodegradation of triclopyr using Arthrobacter globiformis and Pseudomonas pictorum
(1990)Triclopyr (3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinyloxyacetic acid) was investigated for biodegradation using Arthrobacter and Pseudomonas sp. bacteria. No evidence of the proposed major metabolite, 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol was found ... -
Microwave interferometer for measuring dielectric properties of low-loss solids
(1974)An X-band microwave bridge-interferometer is constructed for measuring the permittivity of solids. Using simple theory, the system is first tested with several materials of known permittivity (e.g. ertalon, plexiglas ... -
Migration and development of Cystidicola spp. (Habronematoidea) in their definitive hosts and the population biology of C. cristivomeri White, 1941 in Salvelinus spp.
(1980)The development of Cystidicola cristivomeri in lake trout, Salvelinus namaycush, and C, farionis in rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri, is described. The population biology of C. cristivomeri was investigated in lake trout ... -
Mimetic roots of Flannery O'Connor's The violent bear it away
(1998)Literature from classical antiquity to the end of the eighteenth century was predominantly mimetic; that is, the general function of literature was to present a heightened imitation of reality, and, in particular those ... -
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) for stroke survivors : an application of a novel intervention / by Amy K. Moustgaard. --
(2004)Stroke can affect neurological, cognitive, and emotional functioning and have a negative impact on overall quality of life (QoL). Published research in the area of psychological intervention for stroke patients suggests ... -
Mineralization and tectonic setting of the Norton Lake Region, Uchi subprovince
(2005)The Norton Lake region is located approximately 50 km northeast of Fort Hope within the northernmost unnamed assemblage of the Miminiska-Fort Hope greenstone belt of the Uchi Subprovince, northwestern Ontario. An ... -
Mineralogy and petrology of the Ham Kimberlite, Somerset Island, N.W.T., Canada
(1982)The Ham diatreme and dyke are post-late Silurian intrusions located in north-central Somerset Island and are the most northerly known kimberlites in the Somerset Island kimberlite province. The Ham diatreme, which ... -
Mirror presentation and playback of species-specific aggressive vocalizations as reinforcers in adult domestic chickens (Gallus gallus)
(1975)The present three experiments, designated as I, II, and III, attempted to establish the positive reinforcinig effects of mirror and audio (the playback of recorded crows) presentation, alone and combined, for adult Domestic ... -
Mitigating the effects of exposure to violence against women : an educational perspective
(1988)One hundred sixty-four female and one hundred twenty-four male undergraduate university students participated in an experiment designed to assess the role and / or value of education in mitigating the effects of exposure ... -
Mitochondrial DNA analysis of ancient hair shafts from the Dakhleh Oasis, Egypt : challenges and recommendations
(2005)To date, there have been no previous reports in the literature on DNA extraction or analysis of ancient human hair. The hair shaft has an extraordinarily stable structure that enables it to remain unchanged for centuries ... -
MMPI-2 profiles of Lakehead University students / Elizabeth M.R.M. Lettner.
(1993)Until most recently university students were considered to score significantly higher on the MMPI clinical and validity scales, in terms of their mean profiles, than the original normative non-psychiatric sample. According ... -
Model of posttraumatic stress reactions to sexual abuse in females / by Suzanne L. Barker-Collo.
(1997)Sexual abuse is identified by the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th edition) (DSM-IV, APA, 1994) as a possible precipitator of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). ... -
Model reference adaptive control system using frequency domain performance specifications
(1999)MRAS (Model Reference Adaptive System) to achieve frequency domain performance specifications with different transfer function identification techniques are experimentally studied. Standard open loop and closed loop ... -
Modeling and analysis of limit cycles in buck converters under PI control
(2005)A zero order hold equivalent discrete-time model of the buck converter for computing its large signal frequency-response is developed and experimentally verified. It is shown that with a dc bias and a sinusoidal variation ... -
Modeling and control of a flexible-link manipulator
(2001)The behaviour of a flexible-link robotic manipulator is studied using an experimental apparatus. The system is modeled based on the physical laws governing system dynamics. A non-linear rigid body model is developed which ... -
Modeling and control of various styles of paper machine headboxes
(2003)In this thesis non-linear mathematical models of a typical paper machine approach system with three different styles of headboxes are presented. The non-linear models include the dynamics of the fan pump, DC motor, ... -
Modeling and identification of an axially-moving cantilever beam
(2002)An axially-moving cantilever beam is used to study identification o f time-varying systems. A circuitry for DC motor current control and sensor conditioning is built. The circuitry meets the design requirement of controlling ... -
Modeling of PWM boost converters for continuous and discontinuous inductor current modes
(2006)Owing to the relatively more complicated nature of the boost converter with non-ideal elements and operating in continuous and discontinuous inductor current modes, a parsimonious large signal and small signal model for ... -
Modelling barred owl habitat in Northwestern Ontario
(1996)With its large home range, dependence on large decadent trees for nest cavities, and association with mature mixedwoods, the Barred Owl (Strix varia) is vulnerable to habitat loss from forest harvesting. Study objectives ...
