Effects of ultra violet and visible light on bacterial survival / by Natasha Vermeulen.
(2006)
The optical dose in mJ/cm[superscript]2 for causing mortality of Escherichia coli, using wavelengths between 230-375 nm in the UV and 400-532 nm in the mid-visible spectral regions, has been determined in
this study. ...
Development and evaluation of inductive and deductive models of elk (Cervus elaphus) summer resource suitability in Northwestern Ontario
(2006)
Resource-selection modelling techniques take either a deductive or inductive approach.
Deductive methods take a “bottom-up” approach, where individual wildlife-resource
relationships are the building blocks that define ...
Subspecies status of the western Yellow-billed Cuckoo (Cuculidae: Coccyzus americanus occidentalis) : using cytochrome b to elucidate the enigma
(2006)
This study documents sequence variation in three mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)
genes in the Yellow-billed Cuckoo {Coccyzus americanus) to re-examine the
subspecies status of the western population (C.a. occidentalis). ...
Influence of light intensity on activity and habitat utilization of walleye (Sander vitreus) in two Northwestern Ontario lakes
(2006)
Ecologists have paid considerable attention to how and why organisms select
particular habitats. Of fundamental importance is discerning which physical factors of
the environment restrict the occurrence of organisms to ...
Influence of local and landscape scale factors on the presence, relative abundance and characteristics of brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) in beaver ponds
(2006)
Study area : Mackenzie River watershed, northeast of Thunder Bay, Northwestern Ontario (drains into Lake Superior)
Is patch use determined by fine-scale microhabitat differences or density dependent habitat selection?
(2006)
If individuals base their patch and habitat choices on fine-scale differences in
microhabitat, then their use o f patches, defined by capture sites, should correspond with
measures o f microhabitat. But if individuals ...
Development of a toxicity early warning system (TEW)
(2006)
Biomonitoring is a practice that has over time developed into a remarkably
accurate form of detecting toxicity in the environment. The Toxicity Early Warning
system (TEW) is a Real-Time Biomonitoring system developed to ...
Molecular detection and identification of parasites involved in human disease
(2006)
The detection and identification of disease-causing parasites via DNA and the
polymerase chain reaction (PCR) offers a new approach for quick and efficient disease diagnosis.
Three nucleic acid based technologies have ...
Genetic profiling variation caused by tissue type, error, and damage
(2006)
Genetic profiling variations caused by tissue type, error, and damage have been studied only minimally in the past. Even though it is well accepted that damage to the DNA molecule and PCR induced error occur, little focus ...
