Water chemistry: its effects on amphibians in Northwestern Ontario, Canada
(2004)
Understanding the role that abiotic environmental factors play in determining the distribution of organisms is of fundamental importance to ecologists. Most amphibians are inherently dependent on aquatic habitats and ...
Riparian habitat and vegetation recovery of headwater streams after clearcut harvesting
(2009)
In this thesis I examined two important aspects of clearcut harvesting along small headwater streams and their riparian zones. The objectives of the study were: 1) to investigate the impacts of clearcut harvesting on the ...
Diagnostic and treatment approaches to fibromyalgia management: quantification of peripheral blood mononuclear cell function and evaluation of radial shockwave therapy
(2019)
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic pain disorder that affects many individuals worldwide. The lack of a definitive diagnostic method and highly successful treatment approaches make it an interesting area of research. In the ...
Increased production of sugar streams from lignocellulosic materials through enzyme recycling
(2019)
The Canadian pulp and paper mills generate over 1 million tons of primary sludge per year. This sludge mainly contains small cellulosic fibers and contaminants from pulp and paper manufacture and is usually disposed of by ...
The effects of invasive dreissenid mussels on the offshore food web of Lake Simcoe, Ontario
(2019)
Dreissenid mussels have successfully invaded North America, including the Great Lakes and their surrounding waterbodies. With their establishment, there have been many notable impacts including the rerouting of energy flow ...
Causes and consequences of population changes in Black Bay Steelhead, Lake Superior
(2019)
Understanding species interactions is an important component of fisheries resource management. Like the other Great Lakes, Lake Superior’s fish species composition (and therefore interactions among species) has been changing ...
Systematics and ecology of the Sexguttata species group, genus Cicindela (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae) / by Michael M. Kaulbars. --
(1982)
The systematics of Cicindela sexguttata Fabricius and
Cicindela patruela Dejean was studied. Various aspects of
their holomorphology were considered, including: multivariate
analysis of external characters, morphology ...
Isolation and characterization of novel cellulase and pectinase producing bacteria
(2015)
Cellulases and pectinases are the major cell wall degrading enzymes. The
microorganisms producing these enzymes have a wide range of industrial applications.
In this research, 17 bacterial isolates from rotting wood ...
Studies on the fungus Flammulina velutipes
(1987)
Local ligninocellulosic waste materials were examined as substrates for growing Flammulina velutipes mushrooms. Mushroom production was favoured by substrate moisture content in the range of 125-150%, (substrate supplementation ...
Biology and histopathology of Proteocephalus ambloplitis Liedy, 1887, infecting walleye (Stizostedion vitreum vitreum) and yellow perch (Perea flavescens) in Lake of the Woods, Ontario
(1985)
Walleye (Stizostedion vitreum vitreum ) and yellow
perch (Perea flavescens ) from Lake of the Woods were
examined for parenteral Proteocephalus ambloplitis from
May to November, 1982 and 1983. One hundred percent of ...
