Changes in yellow perch diets associated with nanosilver exposure in freshwater lakes
(2017)
Freshwater lake experiments on the effects of nanosilver were completed at the Experimental Lakes Area in northwestern Ontario. Since nanosilver has antibacterial properties it is expected to have negative effects on ...
On the motion of vertical and oblique sand jets in stagnant immiscible liquids
(2019)
Sand jets and particle clouds in water and viscous fluids have been a frequent subject of intense
research and are pertinent to many environmental, industrial, and engineering processes. Mixing
and dispersion of sand ...
Estimation of stripping by static immersion test using image processing and machine learning
(2019)
Hot Mixed Asphalt (HMA) is one of the most common types of pavement, which exists on the surface of the roads, inside and outside of cities. One of the main destresses in HMA is moisture-related damage, which mainly occurs ...
Residue analysis of pre-contact small and miniature pottery: a multi-proxy approach
(2019)
Small and miniature pottery vessels are common in North American archaeological sites,
although they have rarely been the focus of study. These vessels are variously interpreted to be
mortuary or ceremonial vessels, ...
Using unmanned aerial vehicles and wildlife camera trapping for the early assessment of road reclamation effects in Northern Ontario
(2019)
The forest industry has been performing forest road reclamation to regenerate forests after harvest, to maintain wildlife habitat and to limit forest access by the public, all to help maintain large, contiguous wild forests. ...
A functional trait analysis of successional pathway dynamics
(2018)
The study of plant community re-assembly following disturbances in anthropogenically managed landscapes is a necessity in today’s climate. The measurement of plant functional traits is a tool that can be of great help in ...
Identifying variables affecting students' academic performance among engineering students
(2018)
An essential consideration for campus administrators and faculty members is that
students complete their degree with good academic grades. Being able to predict
factors affecting students performance is necessary to help ...
Quantitative metrics of deadwood decay classes as a function of moisture regime and tree species
(2017)
The patterns and rates of decomposition of dead woody debris (DWD) in the boreal
ecosystem throughout the wood decay process have been hypothesized to vary across
moisture regimes and between species. A fundamental aspect ...
Diversity of life history characteristics of Lake Superior migratory rainbow trout
(2017)
Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) have been present in the Great Lakes since their introduction in the late 1800’s (Clarkson et al. 1997). These fish have naturalized many streams and have established naturally reproducing ...
Time allocated to vigilance: does antipredator behavior decrease in colder temperatures?
(2017)
This thesis was designed to assess the effect an organism's environment has on its behavior. Specifically, the effect of air temperature on vigilance behavior was examined during the winter of 2016-2017. This study was ...
