The contributions of creative cognition and schizotypal symptoms to creative achievement
(2004)While previous research suggests people with sub-clinical levels of schizophrenic symptoms achieve a greater number of creative accomplishments, the cognitive reasons for higher proportions of creativity in this population ... -
The effect of discontinuing iron supplementation on the iron status of women
(1992)Twenty four women were studied in order to examine the effect that discontinued iron supplementation has on the hematological values of serum ferritin, serum iron and hemoglobin. Initially, 111 female volunteers were ... -
The effects of propagational factors on quantum wires in close parallel proximity
(1993)Recent advances in semiconductor technology have made it possible to produce devices of such small size that electronic conduction through these devices is dominated by the quantum properties of the electron. The fact ... -
The effects of spacing and genetic factors on growth and tree form quality traits of plantation-grown jack pine
(2000)Overall tree form ofjack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) growing in natural stands varies from straight slender trees with compact crowns to broad, limby and even multi-stemed trees. Jack pine grown in plantations at ... -
The geology, petrology, geochemistry, sulphide and platinum-group mineralization of the Quetico intrusions, northwestern Ontario
(1992)The Quetico Intrusions are a group of small, geochemically primitive, locally Cu-Ni-PGE-rich, mafic to ultramafic intrusions closely associated with the margins of the Quetico Batholithic Complex. They are composed ... -
The inference problem in multilevel secure databases
(2005)Conventional access control models, such as role-based access control, protect sensitive data from unauthorized disclosure via direct accesses, however, they fail to prevent unauthorized disclosure happening through ... -
The influence of acid rain and drought on early growth and development of jack pine and balsam poplar
(1994)The influence of "acid rain" (watering with tap water acidified to pH 3.0 ) and drought on jack pine seedlings and balsam poplar cuttings growing in two different soil types was studied in a short-term greenhouse experiment. ... -
The photochemistry of methoxy-substituted poly(acrylophenones)
(1995)Poly(p-methoxyacrylophenone) (PMAP), poly{3,4-dimethoxyacrylophenone) (P34DMAP) and poly(3,5-dimethoxyacrylophenone) (P35DMAP) were exposed in the form of dilute solutions and thin films to long-wave UV radiation (see ... -
The prevalence of burnout in minor hockey coaches
(1994)The purpose of this study was to investigate the degree of burnout among minor hockey league coaches as assessed by the Adapted Maslach Burnout Inventory and Golembiewski's Phase Model of Burnout, and to identify various ... -
The proventriculus of Cicindelidae : systematics and functional morphology
(1994)Internal structures of the proventriculus of adult tiger beetles were examined to determine their function and taxonomic and phylogenetic value. The overall appearance of the proventriculus suggested an intricate ... -
The relationship between whole blood, plasma and total blood lactate at various exercise intensities
(1992)The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between lactate concentrations derived from three sources: whole blood (WBLa), plasma (Pla) and total blood (TBLa) during an incremental bicycle ... -
Themes on Finnish settlement in the Thunder Bay area
(2004)This migration has contributed to the Finnish population being found in many countries, including Canada. It is this Finnish-Canadian population that is of interest here. Growing up in the Thunder Bay area, within the ... -
Theodore Dreiser's Sister Carrie : a study of transformation and change in the artistic feminine psyche
(1991)Theodore Dreiser's novel SISTER CARRIE is almost untouched by modern literary criticism in spite of the fact that it has been in print for ninety years. This unique situation has resulted because the original novel, ... -
Theoretical and experimental investigation of pressure solution
Consideration of the existing thermodynamic theory of pressure solution (PS) shows that this theory is applicable to the development of PS structures as well as to local grain-scale diffusive transfer. Local precipitation ... -
Theoretical and experimental investigation of solvatochromic and photochromic materials
(2010)This thesis includes a study of solvatochromic molecules in the liquid and gas phases, and a study of photochromic molecules in the solid phase. The solvatochromic molecules studied are Nile Red, Betaine 30 and its penta ... -
Theoretical study of the folding kinetics of the ultra-fast folding Trp-cage protein
(2006)Native-centric coarse-gained models, termed Ca Go models, have been widely used for computational simulation of small protein to study their folding kinetics and thermodynamics. The limitations of these models come from ... -
Theories of employment and developing economies
(1972)"Theories of employment and developing economies" is an attempt to prove that the existing employment theories are not applicable to developing countries, and to propound a wage-goods gap theory as a suitable alternative ...
