Factors influencing thermal variability and fish distribution in small boreal steams / by Lisa McKee.
(2010)
The spatial variability of stream temperature is an important component of habitat within streams providing optimal temperatures for foraging and thermal refugia for sensitive species such as brook trout. Riparian shading ...
Older men's conceptions of masculinity, aging, and the body / by Stephanie Anderson Chesser.
(2010)
While much gerontology research has focused on the female gendered experience of aging, little attention has been paid to the ways in which older men conceptualize their own masculinity. The objectives of this constructivist ...
Physical activity promotion in Sudbury-area call centres : employers' perspectives / by Sheila Joan Renton.
(2010)
A 2004 report from the Ontario Chief Medical Officer of Health identified the workplace as a key setting for the implementation of strategies for the promotion of physical activity as part of a plan to help Ontarians achieve ...
A Randomized, controlled trial of mindfulness plus exposure for improving body image in women
(2010)
Research supports a multifaceted conception of body image incorporating attitudinal and behavioural elements. Cognitive-behavioural therapy including psychoeducation and body image exposure are two therapeutic approaches ...
Synthesis and study of palladium-containing nanomaterials for hydrogen technologies
(2010)
We are currently facing a climate change and global warming effect due to the emission of greenhouse gases from our existing energy sources. A hydrogen-based economy is one solution to uphold our standard of living while ...
Theoretical and experimental investigation of solvatochromic and photochromic materials
(2010)
This thesis includes a study of solvatochromic molecules in the liquid and gas phases, and a study of photochromic molecules in the solid phase. The solvatochromic molecules studied are Nile Red, Betaine 30 and its penta ...
In vitro detection of apoptosis using superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles and molecular magnetic resonance imaging
(2010)
Superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles have the potential to greatly expand current anatomical imaging techniques, specifically MRI. SPIO nanoparticles targeted to phosphatidylserine (PS) have the potential to ...
Variation in vessel diameter and leaf area of white birch (Betula papyrifera) along moisture gradients in Canada
(2010)
One of the key hypotheses of this research is that white birch that has evolved in wet areas will have larger vessels than those trees that evolved in dry areas. Since the wet areas are less likely to experience drought ...
Seafloor deposit models, geochemistry, and petrology of the mafic-ultramafic hosted Big Lake VMS occurrence, Marathon, Ontario
(2010)
The Big Lake volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) occurrence, located in the Schreiber-Hemlo belt of the Superior Province, was discovered in March 2006 near Marathon, Ontario. It is hosted in a mafic-ultramafic metavolcanic ...
Thermophilic and mesophilic aerobic biological treatment of wastewater
(2010)
To achieve closed cycle operation and subsequent reuse of treated effluent, individual streams of pulp and paper mill effluents are being evaluated for their suitability for in-mill treatment. This thesis includes two ...
