Exercise and anxiety sensitivity: an examination of dose response, credibility, expectancy, and perceived effort
(2015-01-13)
Despite ongoing research examining exercise and its anxiolytic effects (Petruzello, Landers, Hatfield, Kubitz, & Salazar, 1991), our understanding of this relationship is limited. The present study evaluated the effects ...
Paleomagnetic secular field variation and rock magnetism of some early holocene (<9900BP) postglacial lacustrine sediments near Thunder Bay, Northwestern Ontario, Canada
(2006)
Paleosecular magnetic changes through a 1.5m section of post-glacial lacustrine deposits
are strongly influenced by mineralogy and differential compaction. The sediments chiefly
comprise clay and, in the lower one third ...
The association between watershed characteristics and mercury concentrations in fish of Northern Ontario lakes
(2014-01-22)
Many landscape, limnological, and ecological factors synergistically affect the mercury cycle and subsequently influence total mercury (THg) concentrations in fish. In Chapter 1, the associations between watershed and lake ...
Determining the predictability of acute mountain sickness using a regression analysis
(2010)
AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness) is an altitude-related illness that occurs as a direct result of hypoxia. To date there is no consistent diagnostic measurement tool, leaving AMS as a subjectively-measured illness. An exploratory ...
Rock magnetic and structural investigation of the Moss Lake stock and local area : western Shebandowan belt
(1995)
The thesis area is located 120 km west of the City of Thunder
Bay, Ontario, straddling the contact of the Quetico and Wawa
subprovinces of the Archean Superior Province.
Metasedimentary rocks of the Quetico Subprovince ...
Characterizing the microbial degradation of kraft lignin and lignin-derived compounds
(2014-12-12)
Analytical methods for characterizing the microbial degradation of Kraft lignin
and lignin-derived compounds were utilized with the goal of biologically generating
demethylated lignin for subsequent industrial applications. ...
Recreation specialization, avalanche training, and avalanche safety practices of backcountry skiers in the Canadian Mountain National Park
(2012-11-10)
Knowledge of demographics, avalanche training, and avalanche safety practices of backcountry skiers in the mountain national parks of Canada is of great importance to Parks Canada, the Canadian Avalanche Association, ...
The Impacts of forest management practices on mercury contamination in small stream biota
(2012-11-10)
Mercury is a contaminant of global concern as it is present in all biota and ecosystems around the world. Small streams are influenced by the terrestrial systems that feed them. I examined the presence of mercury in small ...
Northern wild rice (Zizania palustris L.) as a phytoremediation species in eutrophic wetlands - investigation of root-sediment interactions
(2014-01-22)
The causes of anthropogenic eutrophication in water bodies are multi-faceted and multigenerational, presenting an ever increasing need for effective and sustainable solutions.Phytoremediation presents a cost-effective ...
An investigation of the use of anisotropy of complex magnetic susceptibility to analyse strain in experimentaly deformed materials and massive sulphides
(1991)
Anisotropy of magnetic susce:ptibility (AivJS) has become a widely
accepted method of fabric analysis in rocks, especially those
which have been deformed tectonically. The use of anisotropy of
complex magnetic suscepti ...
