(2021)
The purpose of this paper is to clarify that the differences in natural regeneration
between the two forests in northern China are caused by precipitation, altitude, temperature, and canopy density. Similarly, the ...
Impact of weather variability and climate change on grain yield of Sable wheat in Thunder Bay, Ontario
(2021)
Cultivation of spring wheat varieties has expanded into northern areas where it is an
integral part of the crop rotations followed by the farmers. Around Thunder Bay, in Northern
Ontario, spring wheat is typically grown ...
Virtual work from home and mental health: a mixed methods systematic review
(2021)
Poor mental health is a risk factor for a number of chronic physical conditions and may
impact individuals’ ability to remain in the work force (World Health Organization, 2004b).
Further, the workplace itself may pose ...
Experimental and theoretical studies on microalgal cell adhesion and interactions on membranes
(2021)
Microalgae Cell adhesion is global and plays a critical role in different scientific and engineering
problems especially in wastewater treatment. This study focused on both experimental and
theoretical studies on microalgal ...
Design and synthesis of small molecule ligands targeting protease-activated receptor 2 as potential diagnostic and therapeutic agents
(2021)
Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging requires radionuclides (positron-emitters) labeled
molecules (tracers) to image biochemical and physiological processes in vivo and helps diagnose
diseases noninvasively. The ...
The social experiences of depression among Lakehead University students
(2021)
While depression is known to be prevalent among university students (Ibrahim et al. 2013), there
has been little research on how students deal with this in day-to-day life. Drawing on 21 semistructured interviews with ...
Dietary restraint and stress-induced alterations in eating: Exploring the role of heart rate variability as a proxy for self-regulation, attentional bias, and perceived safety
(2021)
Restraint theory posits that the capacity to successfully diet is cognitively demanding, requiring
exertion of cognitive control over eating. Demands that deplete this limited inner resource (e.g.,
stress) can thus lead ...
