The mineralogy and petrology of layered series nepheline syenite within Center II of the Coldwell Complex
(2018)The Coldwell Complex is situated within the Archean Schreiber-White River metavolcanic and metasediment of the Superior Province. Spanning over 25km in diameter, it is the largest alkaline intrusion in North America. The ... -
Mineralogy and petrology of the Good Hope carbonatite complex, Marathon, Ontario
(2023)The Good Hope carbonatite is located northwest of Marathon, Ontario (49° 02’ N, 86° 43’ W). It occurs along the northwest margin of the Prairie Lake complex. The objectives of this research are to characterize the carbonate ... -
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 ... -
The mineralogy of NYF pegmatites from the Coldwell alkaline complex, Northwestern Ontario
(2009)The Coldwell Complex, northwestern Ontario, is a multiphase alkaline intrusion that is host to rare earth element, actinide and other high field strength element mineralization. Preliminary studies have shown that these ... -
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 ... -
Mitigating the effects of the white satin moth (Leucoma salicis) in Thunder Bay’s urban forest
(2021)The white satin moth, Leucoma salicis (L.), has been detected as a pest of urban trees in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Surveys were conducted in urban environments following the discovery of this introduced species to determine ... -
Mitigating the impact of decompression latency in L1 compressed data caches via prefetching
(2017)Expanding cache size is a common approach for reducing cache miss rates and increasing performance in processors. This approach, however, comes at a cost of increased static and dynamic power consumption by the cache. ... -
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 ... -
Mixtures of Metals and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Lead to Complex Toxic Outcomes in the Freshwater Amphipod, Hyalella azteca
(2015)The study of ecotoxicology inevitably must address the fact that toxicants always occur in mixture. Unfortunately, our present state of knowledge in terms of predicting the effects of contaminant mixtures and understanding ... -
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 ... -
Mobile miners: work, home, and hazards in Yukon's mining industry
(2015-06-15)This thesis examines the impacts that long-distance commuting operations have for workers in Yukon's mining industry. The Canadian mining industry has transitioned from the traditional Taylorist operations of the twentieth ... -
Mobile ontology-based reasoning and feedback health monitoring system
(2009)As medical technology has developed over the past few decades, the average human life-span has increased and as a side effect, chronic illness has become more prevalent. Many patients now require constant, everyday monitoring ... -
Mobile robot tank with GPU assistance
(2014-01-22)Robotic research has been costly and tremendously time consuming; this is due to the cost of sensors, motors, computational unit, physical construction, and fabrication. There are also a lot of man hours clocked in for ... -
Modal identification of time-varying structures using the blind source separation techniques
(2016)In last few decades, Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) has been an indispensable subject in the field of vibration engineering. With the aid of modern sensing technology, SHM has garnered significant attention towards ... -
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 ... -
