In 2016, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) had recorded a total of 37,461 road-related mortalities within the United States alone. To alleviate the effects of road fatalities concerning economy and ...
Investigation on liquid-liquid dispersion in stirred tanks through experimental approach and computational fluid dynamic (CFD)
(2019)
Stirred tanks have a vital role in chemical engineering industries. Among the various
applications of stirred tanks, mixing of two immiscible liquid phases is of interest in chemical
processes. Mixing of two immiscible ...
Efficacy of MYKE® on in vitro growth of American elm (Ulmus americana)
(2017)
This thesis is an examination of the commercial product MYKE which is a perlite-peat mixture containing 7 spores/g of Glomus intraradices N.C Schenk & G.S. Sm., a vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhiza-forming fungus.

A comparison of decomposition of jack pine and trembling aspen wood blocks by eight wood decay fungi
(2017)
Decay is an important component of the carbon cycle, as it breaks down
wood and releases the stored carbon back into the atmosphere. White rot,
brown rot, and soft rot are all types of decay which initiate this process. ...

(2017)
The Olive-sided Flycatcher is a migratory species currently facing a dramatic population decline. The species is listed as threatened in Canada under the Species at Risk Act. The purpose of this study was to describe the ...
Studies on phosphate solubilizing bacteria from two lakes in central southern Ontario
(2019)
It has been well documented that phosphorus pollution has been one of the most significant factors inhibiting aquatic health on Lake Simcoe. However, reports on the impacts of microbial contribution to phosphorus levels ...
Comparison of forest fire regimes between Heilongjiang in China and Ontario
(2017)
This research summarizes and compares the differences in forest fire regimes
in the provinces of Ontario, Canada, and Heilongjiang, China, as it relates to fire

Mercury evolution and impacts of two hydrological dam - Three Gorges Dam and La Grande Dam
(2017)
Hydrological dam are widely used to generate electricity. At present,
hydrological power is deemed be clean energy, because it does not have greenhouse
gas emission. However, many reports and researches show that ...
Density-dependent habitat selection alters fitness in a clonal hexapod
(2019)
Density-dependent habitat selection shapes the distribution and abundance of organisms
and thus informs our understanding of the eco-evolutionary process. When habitat choice
is contingent on an individual’s expectation ...
