Macrophyte Community Dynamics in Lake Simcoe’s Fringe Wetlands: Potential use as Biological Indicators of Water Quality
(2016)
Indices have been developed using macrophytes and water quality parameters to detect
the impact of anthropogenic disturbance on coastal wetlands of the Great Lakes, but such an index
does not currently exist for Lake ...
Physical and mechanical property variation of black ash (Fraxinus Nigra M.) grown in the Thunder Bay seed zone
(2014-01-22)
The identification of traditionally underutilized species with the potential for development and increased marketing potential has been recognized as a source of potential innovation in the Northwestern Ontario forest ...
Sub-1 V, 4 nA CMOS voltage references with digitally-trimmable temperature coefficient
(2014-12-12)
Voltage references are fundamental to mixed signal converters which are widely used in elec-
tronics. Hence there are signicant advantages in having the voltage reference operate with
less power while minimizing area ...
Fuzzy logic based online adaptation of current and speed controllers for improved performance of IPMSM drive
(2013-02-12)
Precise torque and speed control of electric motors is a key issue in industries for variable speed drives (VSD). Over the years the induction motors have been widely utilized in industries for VSD applications. However, ...
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. ...
Evaluating the attention network test and its ability to detect cognitive decline
(2016)
The current study involved an evaluation of the Attention Network Test (ANT) as a neurocognitive tool for assessing fitness to drive in the senior population. The ANT measures three distinct functions of attention: alerting, ...
State variable harmonic balance analysis of nonlinear circuits based on waves
(2013-02-12)
Circuit simulation involving nonlinear elements can be a challenging task. From these challenges rises a demand for finding better and more efficient ways of solving such problems. This work provides a novel approach for ...
Plant abundance, diversity, and composition following reclamation in Alberta's oil sands
(2014-12-18)
The Alberta oil sands have caused an economic boom in the Canadian economy in recent years. Identifying the best strategy for vegetation recovery after oil sands extraction is critical to restoring the biodiversity and ...
A Design Methodology for Low Power CMOS Current Source
(2016)
A current reference circuit is a basic building block in analog, digital and mixed-signal design systems.
This work focuses on one type of integrated CMOS current reference circuit. This source only uses one
type of ...
Improving mathematics teaching through professional learning groups
(2015-08-05)
In order to teach mathematics well, teachers must have a specialised knowledge of the content (Silverman & Thompson, 2008) and believe in effective teaching methods (Philipp, 2007). Research has indicated that teaching ...
