Species richness, species incidence and turnover of amphibians in Northwestern Ontario : assessing the role of habitat characteristics
(2004)There has been recent global concern over the decline of some amphibian populations. The loss of amphibian species is of concern because they play a crucial role in ecosystem structure and are indicators of ecosystem ... -
Specific binding sites for [H Dexamethasone and [H17B-Estradiol [17-Beta (Greek symbol)] in the hypothalamus of juvenile rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss
(1999)In bony fishes such as the rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, glucocorticoid (GC) and estrogenic hormones are associated with a variety of physiological functions. Most notable are effects of GCs which allow the animal ... -
Spirituality in education : professorial viewpoints
(2006)There has been a dramatic rise in interest in spirituality over the last decade. Historically, universities began with a spiritual base. Today, superficially, education generally appears to have lost its spiritual emphasis. ... -
Sport in high school : the relationship of athletic participation, gender differences, and academic stream to self-esteem, academic achievement, and educational aspiration
(1997)The purpose of this study was to examine the interaction effects of athletic participation, gender, and academic stream with self-esteem, academic achievement, and educational aspiration. The sample (n=341) was drawn ... -
Spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana Clem.) late-instar dispersal and impact on host-species natural regeneration in a boreal mixedwood forest of Ontario
(1996)Understory feeding by the spruce budworm ( Choristoneura fumiferana Clem.) has potential to alter the species composition of established regeneration and therefore the value of the future forest. This study sets out to ... -
Stable isotope (N,O,H) geochemistry, petrology and compositions of biotite of the Musselwhite Mine, Ontario : implications for mineralisation
(2008)Musselwhite mine is located 480 km. north of Thunder Bay, Northwestern Ontario on the southern shores of Opapimiskan Lake in the North Caribou Lake greenstone belt. It is classified as an orogenic gold deposit. -
Stage of change : relation to risk factors for binge eating and other health-risk behaviours among university women
(2004)The transtheoretical model delineates the different stages that individuals go through as they change maladaptive behaviours: precontemplation, contemplation, action, and maintenance (Prochaska, DiClemente, & Norcross, ... -
Stakeholders' experiences of an interpretation accreditation system : a case study in Banff National Park, Canada / by Rosanna L. Maunder.
(2007)Previous research suggests that guided interpretation in nature-based settings has the potential to develop positive attitudes towards conservation and can foster appropriate visitor behavior in parks and protected areas. ... -
Stand age structures of single and mixed-species of fire-origin boreal stands in central Canada
(2006)Keywords : biodiversity, bimodal, boreal forest, cover type, developmental stage, old-growth, reverse-J, stand age structure, time since fire, wildlife habital, [disturbances, spruce budworm, wind, harvesting, logging]. -
Stand structural dynamics of boreal conifer, mixedwood, and broadleaf fire- and clearcut logging-origin stands in central Canada
(2006)Stand structure has been linked to forest regeneration, nutrient cycling, wildlife habitat, biodiversity, and climate regulation. A review and synthesis of literature indicated that boreal forest stand structure is ... -
Stand structure differences resulting from post-harvest silviculture in boreal mixedwoods
(2007)Under the Ontario Forest Accord, several parcels of land have recently been designated as protected areas reducing the area available for forest management. As a result, forestry companies will likely have to intensify ... -
State and the reproduction of capital : urban renewal in Thunder Bay, 1965-1973
(1985)The purpose of this inquiry is to examine the relationship of the state to the reproduction of capital. The thesis will consider the question of the relationship of the state to capital at the theoretical and empirical ... -
State of Northwestern Ontario secondary school programming for students affected by alcoholics
(2005)The purpose of this study was to examine programming available in Northwestern Ontario (NWO) secondary schools to support students who are affected by someone else’s drinking. Data on programming available in NWO secondary ... -
Static dielectric properties of an ensemble of restricted one-dimensional oscillators
(1984)Deviations from constancy of the Clausius-Mossotti function, C[subscript M], with changes in density and temperature are considered on the basis of a one-dimensional oscillator model of the atom in which the valence ... -
Status of turtle populations in Point Pelee National Park
(2003)Loss of biodiversity has been an irrepressible consequence of growing human populations and resource use. Some groups, such as turtles, are especially vulnerable because of their natural history. Turtles are threatened ... -
Stem analysis : sampling techniques and data processing
(1983)Stem analysis is a common forest mensurational technique used to gain individual tree information for various growth attributes. Interest in stem analysis has been renewed with the availability of computer technology, and ... -
Stem wood structure of four Ghanaian Khaya species
(1997)Four closely related Ghanaian Khaya woods were studied for differences in anatomical, chemical and physical properties to enable clear identification o f the species. The species were Khaya cmthotheca (Ka), Khaya ivorensis ... -
Stephen Crane's impressionism : a step back
(1995)This thesis focuses primarily on Impressionism in three of Stephen Crane's works: Maggie: A Girl of the Streets. The Red Badge of Courage and "The Monster." Impressionism is the most appropriate hypothesis to describe ... -
Stratigraphic architecture of a paleoproterozoic iron formation depositional system : the Gunflint, Mesabi and Cuyuna iron ranges
(1996)Understanding iron formation depositional processes has been hindered by the lack of precise modern analogues. However, by combining a regional basin analysis of sedimentary and volcanic rocks surrounding an iron formation ...
