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 ...
Learning through relationship: in-context development for teachers of Indigenous students
(2019)
In this study, I explore the experiences and qualities of productive learning relationships
shared by Indigenous and non-Indigenous educators in K-12 public education contexts. I know
from my own teaching experience and ...
Low-power multi-band injection-locked wireless receiver
(2019)
The demand for low-power high-performance wireless receivers has dramatically in-
creased with the emerging deployment of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Among the
demodulation schemes, non-coherent receivers consume ...
Quadrotor altitude and attitude control with neural network
(2017)
Over the years, the controller design for an unmanned aerial vehicle has been attracting
considerable amount of attentions and interests. In this thesis, a quadcopter has been studied
intensively, and an adaptive ...
Increased production of sugar streams from lignocellulosic materials through enzyme recycling
(2019)
The Canadian pulp and paper mills generate over 1 million tons of primary sludge per year. This sludge mainly contains small cellulosic fibers and contaminants from pulp and paper manufacture and is usually disposed of by ...
Petrology of ijolites from the Prairie Lake carbonatite complex
(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 ...
Plant diversity effect on soil carbon dynamics
(2019)
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a valuable natural resource, supplying goods and services for human benefits, including mediating global climate change and securing food production and environmental quality. Biodiversity loss ...
Attitude and position control of flapping-wing micro aerial vehicles
(2018)
Compared with the fixed-wing and rotor aircraft, the
flapping-wing micro aerial vehicle
is of great interest to many communities because of its high efficiency and
flexible maneuverability.
However, issues such as ...
Coordination chemistry of bithiazole ligands: a comparative study of the 2,2’ and 4,4’ isomers
(2019)
The bithiazole ring system consists of two thiazole (C3NS) aromatic rings. There are many regioisomers but two of potential interest for coordination chemistry are the 2,2’-bis(1,3-thiazole) and the 4,4’-bis(1,3-thiazole), ...
Global environmental change effects on forest dynamics: lessons from permanent sample plot networks
(2019)
Global environmental change caused by anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gasses is a major threat to forest ecosystems globally. Before we can begin to adequately mitigate these threats, we first must understand how ...
