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
