Predicting mixing trends in mine-receiving waters using water quality modeling
(2016)
Complete mixing of the water column of lakes is important to ensure that nutrients and dissolved oxygen are replenished and equalized throughout the lake. This ensures that organisms within the lake at all trophic levels ...
Genetic diversity and colonization patterns of Onnia tomentosa and Phellinus tremulae (Hymenochaetaceae, Aphyllophorales) in the boreal forest near Thunder Bay, northwestern Ontario
(2016)
Forest health is impacted greatly by fungi, particularly those that cause disease in living trees. By examining genetic diversity within populations of pathogenic fungi and their patterns of colonization it is possible to ...
Long-term Relationships between Carbon Sequestration, Hydrology, and Tephra Disturbance in a Northern Peatland (Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia)
(2016)
Northern peatlands are one of the most important carbon reservoirs, storing one-third to one-half of the world’s soil carbon pool and thus changes in their carbon balance have the potential to cause a positive feedback to ...
Living well in a world with wolves: educators' perspectives
(2016)
The purpose of this qualitative, phenomenological investigation was to explore
wolf-focused education from the perspective of educators who work at various wolf
education centres and programs around North America. The ...
Experimental Study of Vertical and Oblique Particle Clouds in Water
(2016)
Sand jets and particle clouds are common in many engineering areas such as marine bed capping, dredging, and artificial island construction. Because of the wide range of their application, a better understanding of particle ...
Supply chain management of the Canadian Forest Products industry under supply and demand uncertainties: a simulation-based optimization approach
(2016)
The Canadian forest products industry has failed to retain its competitiveness in
the global markets under stochastic supply and demand conditions. Supply chain
management models that integrate the two-way flow of ...
Environmental and economic impact assessment of biochar-based bioenergy production in Northwestern Ontario, Canada
(2016)
Bioenergy is becoming very popular in Ontario with the 2014 ban on the use of coal in power generation. Biochar is produced as a by-product or a co-product of bioenergy. Past literature shows that if biochar is produced ...
Children’s views of the learning environment: a study exploring the Reggio Emilia principle of the environment as the third teacher
(2016)
The purpose of this research study was to explore the concept of the environment as the third teacher and how students in a Reggio Emilia inspired school view their classroom and its ability to help them learn. The research ...
Adaptive almost disturbance decoupling for a class of nonlinear differential-algabraic equation systems
(2016)
A class of engineering systems is modeled by Differential Algebraic Equations
(DAEs), which are also known as singular, descriptor, semistate and generalized
systems. In the chemical engineering processes, the differential ...
Studies on water quality of aquaculture farms with an emphasis on Flavobacterium psychrophilum and UV treatment
(2016)
Flavobacterium psychrophilum, the causative agent of Coldwater Disease, affects salmonid fish in aquaculture operations worldwide and causes skin lesions which if left untreated results in spinal deformities, spiral swimming ...
