The association between lifetime history of a neck injury in a motor vehicle collision and future neck pain: a population based cohort study
(2009-05-28)
The role of neck injury in a motor vehicle collision as a predisposing factor for
future neck pain and disability is controversial. The purpose of this study is to determine
whether a past history of neck injury in a ...
Does fire severity difference create divergent plant communities in black spruce-Kalmia forests of eastern Canada?
(2009-06-25)
After fire, some conifer-ericaceous plant communities in Western Europe and eastern
North America have demonstrated divergent succession from traditional conifer stand
replacement to Ericaceae-dominated community states. ...
Stories of practice : preservice teachers' perceptions of information and communications technology
(2009-05-28)
This thesis investigates the perceptions of information and communications
technology (ICT) held by four preservice teachers as they engage in their first field-based

E/raced : aboriginal youth identities and schooling
(2009)
This qualitative study investigates Aboriginal high school students' negotiation of identity and identifying with school and community in relation to other representations. Within the literature, cultural and racial ...
Sources of small-scale variation in headwater stream habitat and macroinvertebrate communities
(2009-06-04)
The extent to which small stream habitats and communities are influenced by the
surrounding terrestrial environment is a function of the linkage between aquatic and
terrestrial systems. The strength of that linkage is ...

This descriptive case study explores Inuit visions for schooling in a remote community in
the Qikiqtani (formerly Baffin) Region of Nunavut. I use information from interviews, casual
conversations, observations, and a ...
The Potential of microfossil use in paleodiet and paleoenvironmental analysis in Northwestern Ontario
(2008)
Historically wild rice was important economically and spiritually across much of central
and eastern Canada, but the antiquity of its use by Native communities is unclear. Unlike plant
macrofossils, which have traditionally ...
Lowbush blueberries in Northwestern Ontario as a commercial crop option in post-harvest peatlands
(2009-10-15)
Wild blueberries (Vaccinium angustifolium Ait.) were investigated as a possible reclamation tool for post harvest peatlands in Northwestern Ontario, by genetic fingerprinting using microsatellite markers, an examination ...
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 ...
Magnetic fabrics of granitic plutons and gneisses, Northwestern Ontario
(2004)
Specimens of plutonic granitic gneisses have been collected from different
locations of the Superior Province. The study of their Koenigsberger ratio (related to
natural remanent magnetization) and the theoretical ...
