Mesophilic submerged anaerobic membrane bioreactor for pulp and paper secondary sludge treatment
(2018)The production of pulp and paper is associated with the generation of large quantities of wastewater that has to be purified to avoid severe pollution of the environment. Wastewater purification in pulp and paper mills ... -
Metal induced olfactory impairment in fish: gene expression, protection and recovery
(2014)To play their ecological role in an ecosystem, a fully functioning olfactory system is vital for fishes. A fish's olfactory system is very sensitive to low concentrations of contaminants. A great deal of research has ... -
Microbial methylation of mercury in the North Harbour of Lake Superior
(2019)Mercury is a known contaminant in the North Harbour of Lake Superior due to the decommissioned “Thunder Bay Fine Papers” pulp and paper mill. The cause for concern for organisms in the lake and for humans occurs when ... -
Microbial production of value-added products from wood hemicellulose prehydrolysate
(2020)Hemicellulose, the second most abundant polymer in nature, has the great potential to be used for the production of biochemicals under the concept of biorefining. As hemicellulose is watersoluble, it can also be easily ... -
Microscopic modeling of high-field charge transport in amorphous selenium
(2014-01-22)Avalanche multiplication of charge carriers as a result of successive impact ionization has led to the development of solid state avalanche photo-detectors. Crystalline based avalanche photodiodes have found a variety of ... -
A Microstructural study of Musselwhite Mine and Hammond Reef shear-zone-hosted gold deposits
(2011)Musselwhite Mine and Hammond Reef are shear-zone-hosted gold deposits located in Northwestern Ontario, in the Western Superior Province of the Canadian Shield. A detailed microscopic investigation of three gold-hosting ... -
Middle holocene archaeology and paleoenvironments of the Thunder Bay region, Lake Superior basin
(2012-11-10)This thesis describes the analysis of a deeply buried peat deposit discovered in a cutbank along the Kaministiquia River near Thunder Bay, Ontario. This exposure yielded a large sample of well-preserved plant macrofossils ... -
Mindful leader development of undergraduate students
(2019)This case study examined a six-week mindfulness intervention in a higher education leadership course. Higher education has a critical role to play in preparing students to navigate this worldwide terrain with success by ... -
Mineral chemistry, hyperspectral analysis and applications for regional exploration at the Hemlo Gold deposit, Ontario, Canada
(2018)The Barrick Gold owned Hemlo Au deposit is a world class Archean Au deposit situated in Northern Ontario, Canada with historic production of >21 Moz of Au over 32 years of continuous operation. The deposit has a strike ... -
The mineralogy and petrology of layered series nepheline syenite within Center II of the Coldwell Complex
(2018)The Coldwell Complex is situated within the Archean Schreiber-White River metavolcanic and metasediment of the Superior Province. Spanning over 25km in diameter, it is the largest alkaline intrusion in North America. The ... -
Mineralogy and petrology of the Good Hope carbonatite complex, Marathon, Ontario
(2023)The Good Hope carbonatite is located northwest of Marathon, Ontario (49° 02’ N, 86° 43’ W). It occurs along the northwest margin of the Prairie Lake complex. The objectives of this research are to characterize the carbonate ... -
The mineralogy of NYF pegmatites from the Coldwell alkaline complex, Northwestern Ontario
(2009)The Coldwell Complex, northwestern Ontario, is a multiphase alkaline intrusion that is host to rare earth element, actinide and other high field strength element mineralization. Preliminary studies have shown that these ... -
Mitigating the impact of decompression latency in L1 compressed data caches via prefetching
(2017)Expanding cache size is a common approach for reducing cache miss rates and increasing performance in processors. This approach, however, comes at a cost of increased static and dynamic power consumption by the cache. ... -
Mixtures of Metals and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Lead to Complex Toxic Outcomes in the Freshwater Amphipod, Hyalella azteca
(2015)The study of ecotoxicology inevitably must address the fact that toxicants always occur in mixture. Unfortunately, our present state of knowledge in terms of predicting the effects of contaminant mixtures and understanding ... -
