Neuropsychological characteristics of nonclinical obsessive-compulsives
(1995)Neuropsychological functioning was examined in 118 introductory psychology students (males=43, females=75) who reported varying levels of nonclinical obsessive-compulsive behaviours. Using the four subscales of the ... -
Neuropsychological study of northern Native male solvent abusers / by Cameron Dokis.
(2008)Solvent abuse constitutes a major health concern in all ethnic groups because of its serious social, medical, and neuropsychological consequences. The present study examined the neuropsychological consequences of long-term ... -
New mother's opinions on prenatal education : how useful are prenatal classes in assisting first-time mothers through pregnancy, childbirth and the early postnatal period? / by Katarina A. Edwards.
(2008)The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether prenatal education programs are useful in assisting women in pregnancy, childbirth and the early postnatal period. A selfselected sample of seven women who had attended ... -
NMR studies of lignin models, derivatives and bleaching effluents
(1995)NMR problems related to assignment techniques and relaxation restrict the use of NMR in the structural analysis of lignin. These problems have been addressed in three practical studies in this thesis involving a lignin ... -
NMR study of aqueous tetraalkylammonium silicates
(1994)Silicon-29 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has been used to investigate the equilibrium distribution and kinetics of silicate oligomers in aqueous tetraalkylammonium silicate solutions. Certain tetraalkyl ... -
No man is a failure who has friends : the role of adaptive inferential feedback in hopelessness depression / Lize R. Jalbert. --
(2004)The theory of hopelessness depression (Abramson, Metalsky, & Alloy, 1989) states that the presence of the psychological state of hopelessness is a sufficient cause for the development of a specific subtype of depression ... -
Non-collocated control of vibration of a three-DOF structure using the electromagnetic vibration absorber
(2007)Vibration control is very important in many areas including machine operation and daily life. Semi-active vibration control integrates a tuning control scheme with a tunable vibration absorber for suppression of vibration ... -
Non-standard analysis / by Geraldine S. Service
This thesis is a study of several theories of Non-standard Analysis. Particular attention is paid to the theories presented by A. Robinson and E. Zakon. Chapter I contains background information from Mathematical ... -
Nonlinear controller design for a buck converter
(2006)This thesis presents five different nonlinear control techniques for voltage regulation of a DC-DC buck converter operating in continuous conduction mode. A state space averaging model is derived from a non-ideal buck ... -
Nonlinear dynamics of railway wheelsets incorporating randomness
(2007)The thesis is to investigate the dynamic behavior of a single-axle railway wheelset and identify its chaotic behavior by means of time history, phase portrait, Lyapunov exponents, information dimension, bifurcation diagram ... -
Northern lights : a history of Thunder Bay Hydro / by David Leo Black.
(1994)Electricity has played an important role in the economic and social development of Ontario cities, and Port Arthur and Fort William located at the head of the Great Lakes are no exception to this rule. Industrial development ... -
Northwestern Ontario gold mining, 1880-1902 : the gold boom that didn't pan out
(1996)In 1878, gold was discovered south of Rat Portage on an island in the Lake of the Woods. After a brief flurry of development, excitement waned and Rainy River District mining progressed slowly and fitfully for more than ... -
Northwestern Ontario Indian childrens' [sic] scores on the WISC in relation to the normative population.
(1973)Because Indian children of Northwestern Ontario attend schools designed for children of white, North-American families, they are frequently given the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children. This research was undertaken ... -
Numerical integration of systems of differential equations arising in celestial mechanics / by Roy D. North. --
(1974)This thesis deals primarily with solving systems of autonomous ordinary nonlinear differential equations arising in Celestial Mechanics initial value problems using various finite-difference techniques. Those methods ... -
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 ...
