Fungi associated with the emerald ash borer on urban green ash
(2018)
The emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis) is an invasive beetle recently introduced from Asia. It has quickly spread throughout much of eastern North America causing death of millions of ash (Fraxinus spp.) in both natural ...
Residual damage in mixed hardwood stands after mechanized logging
(2019)
Research and data collection on the issues surrounding mechanized harvesting in mixed
hardwood stands was gathered within the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence forest region. The
silviculture prescription for the stands studied ...
Effects of species mixtures on fine root production in a young boreal forest
(2019)
1. Fine roots (< 2 mm) play a key role in terrestrial ecosystem processes. Species diversity
loss has been recognized as one of the primary global change drivers that can have
profound negative effects on ecosystem ...
Are individuals able to accurately report their own behaviour? An investigation of observer-respondent disparity of reported behaviours associated with social anxiety?
(2019)
Social anxiety is characterized by the powerful fear of negative evaluation from others and a high level of self-focused attention (SFA). In addition, socially anxious individuals often engage in a variety of anxiety-related ...
Experimental determination of the residual compressive strength of concrete columns subjected to different fire durations and load ratios
(2019)
The superior thermal property of concrete associated to its great capability of thermally insulating the embedded reinforcing steel rebar is the main reason for the good behavior of reinforced concrete structural elements ...
Building information modeling-enhanced visualization tool for structural health monitoring
(2018)
With growing number of modern complex infrastructure, robust and autonomous
condition assessment of large-scale structures under operational loads and extreme
climatic events has garnered significant attention. Data-driven ...
Constructing two-dimensional molecular networks on metal and semiconducting surfaces : a scanning tunneling microscopy study
(2019)
The synthesis of two-dimensional organic nanostructures on metal and semiconducting surfaces is studied under ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions. Three halogenated organic molecules are investigated using scanning tunneling ...
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 ...
Particle swarm optimization based adaptive neuro-fuzzy interference system for MPPT control of a three phase grid connected photovoltaic system
(2019)
There is a significant demand for renewable energy systems to ensure sustainable and environmentally friendly living. Shifting from the use of fossil fuels to renewable energy sources will decrease both the reliance on ...
Simulation-based modelling of the unpaved road deterioration and maintenance program in heavy construction and mining sectors
(2019)
Saving cost is a significant factor in the successful operation of heavy civil engineering, such as highway and dam construction, and mining projects, which can be achieved through the reduction of operating costs in large ...
