The effects of smelling salts on hockey players' reaction time, anaerobic performance and sympathetic nervous system
(2019)Background/Objectives: Smelling salts are a commonly used ergogenic aid in various sports, particularly in elite hockey. However, the extent of performance enhancing effects of smelling salts on reaction time and performance ... -
The effects of soil compaction on the germination and growth of Picea mariana and Pinus banksiana
(2020)Soil compaction has long been an issue for the forestry industry. Soil compaction can reduce soil aeration, porosity and drainage, and restrict the growth and success of trees and other plants. The objective of this study ... -
The Effects of the knowledge economy on women and resource dependent communities in Northern Ontario
(2009)Historically women have often been confined to the home while their husbands were expected to earn a living to support their families. This was particularly true in resource communities as little job diversity existed, ... -
The effects of therapeutic patellar taping techniques on lower extremity kinematics during running in individuals with and without patellofemoral pain syndrome
(2016)The effectiveness of patellar taping techniques for Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS), including McConnell’s Medial Glide and Mechanical Correction Technique with Tension in the Base, remains controversial, with no ... -
The Effects of Therapeutic Tape on Pain, Range of Motion, Power, Balance and Strength in Physically Active Individuals with Patellar Tendinopathy
(2015)Patellar tendinopathy is a common injury found among active populations. Typically, tendon pain and tenderness are the most prevalent symptoms associated with patellar tendinopathy and can range from mild to severe. This ... -
Effects of various additives on regulated emissions of modern diesel engines
(2017)Increasingly strict emissions regulations along with man-made global warming has peaked interest in clean burning diesel engines. Renewable biofuels such as biodiesel are being investigated to reduce carbon monoxide (CO), ... -
Effects of water availability, longer photoperiod, and elevated [CO2] on the potential of the northward migration in trembling aspen (populus tremuloides michx.)
(2019)Based on climate envelope models, boreal tree species may migrate to higher latitudes (approximately 10˚N toward the north) in response to rapid climate changes by the end of this century. Multiple factors will likely ... -
Efficacy of a multimolecular extraction from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue
(2021)As the genetic basis and gene expression components are being discovered for an increasing number of diseases and disorders there is a rising interest in using multiomic approaches to better understand these conditions. ... -
Efficacy of bacteria and caffeine as indicators of anthropogenic waste in freshwater systems
(2018)With urban sprawl and intensified agriculture, nutrient loading of waterways has become a pressing issue across southern Ontario. Domestic wastes are more likely than other wastewater sources to be associated with the ... -
Efficacy of various Hypholoma spp. and Phlebiopsis gigantea as biocontrol agents against root rotting fungi Armillaria ostoyae
(2019)Conifer plantations are thinned to maximise production of high-quality timber for lumber, fire wood, and utility poles. However, thinning increases susceptibility to pathogens such as Armillaria ostoyae, a native basidiomycete ... -
Efficiency optimal control of interior permanent magnet synchronous motor / by Fasil Abera.
(2009)There has been a growing concern over energy consumption since the past decade mainly because of the soaring cost of energy and tight environmental laws and regulations. In this thesis a model based efficiency optimization ... -
Efficient channel allocation schemes for multi-band relay networks
