Petrogenesis of the ferrogabbroic intrusions and associated Fe-Ti-V-P mineralization within the McFaulds Greenstone belt, Superior Province, Canada
The McFaulds Lake area (commonly known as the Ring of Fire), has been the site of much recent exploration within northern Ontario. The area represents a recently discovered Archean greenstone belt which is host to world ... -
Petrography and mineralogy of the C29/30 Candle Lake Kimberlite, Saskatchewan, Canada
(2010)Petrography and mineralogy of the C29/30 Candle Lake kimberlite (Saskatchewan, Canada) was studied to understand the characteristics of the kimberlite. Using standard optical microscopy three units where distinguished; ... -

(2019)This study investigates the major and trace element composition of minerals of the ijolite series rocks occurring at the Prairie Lake carbonatite complex, northern Ontario, together with comparative data for ijolites from ... -
Petrology of the Crystal Lake Gabbro and the Mount Mollie Dyke, Midcontinent Rift, Northwest Ontario
(2018)The Crystal Lake Gabbro (CLG) is a Y-shaped, up to 750 m wide, layered mafic intrusion with a 5 km long northern limb and a 2.75 km long southern limb, with localized Cu-Ni and Cr mineralization. The Mount Mollie Dyke (MMD) ... -
The petrology, mineralization and regional context of the Thunder mafic to ultramafic intrusion, Midcontinent Rift, Thunder Bay, Ontario
(2015-06-15)The 1108 Ma Thunder mafic to ultramafic intrusion is a small, 800 x 100 x 500 m, Cu- PGE (platinum group element) mineralized body, located on the outskirts of Thunder Bay, Ontario, and associated with the early magmatic ... -
PGE–Cu–Ni sulfide mineralization of the mesoproterozoic Escape intrusion, northwestern Ontario
(2023)The Escape intrusion is a tabular to bladed, mafic–ultramafic chonolith that hosts economic concentrations of PGE–Cu–Ni magmatic sulfide mineralization. The Mesoproterozoic intrusion is located about 50 km northeast of ... -
The phase behaviour of isopropanol/water/NaCl mixtures at atmospheric pressure
(2023)Alcohol-based biofuels will play a key role in substituting the fossil fuels used in transportation and power generation. Compared to fossil fuels, alcohol-based biofuels have a lower carbon footprint and can be produced ... -
Phenology, growth and physiological responses to photoperiod and elevated [CO2] of boreal white birch (Betula papyrifera Marsh): implications to climate change-induced northward migration
(2019)With the increase in average global temperature due to rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]), rapid shifts of climate envelopes are expected to lead to norward migration for boreal tree species. As a ... -
Physical activity experiences from the perspective of adolescent females in Northwestern Ontario communities
(2009)Purpose: To explore the experiences of female youth residing in rural Northwestern Ontario communities with physical activity and gain insight into ways to enhance opportunities for females to be physically ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
A physical and spatial assessment of remediated submerged habitats within the Thunder Bay area of concern
(2020)The designation of Thunder Bay’s Harbour as an Area of Concern (AOC) by the International Joint Commission prompted the need for Remedial Action Plans to improve historically significant habitats (RAP, 1991; RAP 2004). In ... -
Physical attractiveness mediates the relationship between resting heart rate variability and mate value
(2018)The present study had two main purposes: (a) to replicate the findings of Vacharkulsemsuk and colleagues (2016) and Joel and colleagues (2017) wherein body language and physical attractiveness each predict desirability, ... -
Physical habitat associations of fish species in the Kivalliq region of Nunavut, Canada
(2020)The Canadian arctic and subarctic (areas north of 60° latitude) support distinct aquatic environments governed by the unique geomorphology and climate of the region. Historically, fish and fish habitat impacted by ... -
Physiological adaptations contributing to stress survival in the foodborne pathogen Campylobacter jejuni
(2015-06-15)n spite of being considered fragile and fastidious, the zoonotic pathogen Campylobacter jejuni remains the leading cause of foodborne bacterial gastroenteritis in the developed world. Lacking many of the stress responses ... -
Physiological and morphological responses of mountain maple (acer spicatum l.) seedlings to light under different carbon dioxide concentrations, soil temperature and soil moisture regimes
(2013-02-01)Determining the response of mountain maple (Acer spicatum L.) to increases in light is confounded by interaction with other environmental factors. Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations ([CO2]) and the accompanying ... -
