Regeneration dynamics after fire and clear cutting in boreal mixedwoods
(2009)
Emulation of natural disturbance processes and their effects is important to maintain the structure and composition of managed forests. In boreal mixed forests, clearcutting has been considered as management practice ...
Catalytic decomposition of ammonia and tar for hot gas cleanup in biomass gasification using activated carbon supported catalysts and natural limonite ores
(2009)
Biomass gasification produces a gas (or syngas) containing primarily CO2, H2, CO, CH4 and (C2+C3), as well as some contaminants such as tars, NH3, H2S and SO2. In order to achieve better efficiencies of the syngas applications, ...
The Infant feeding experiences of urban Aboriginal mothers : implications for universal breastfeeding policy
(2009)
In Canada breastfeeding rates are lower among marginalized women and studies have demonstrated that successful and exclusive breastfeeding for the recommended six months frequently requires an extensive support system, one ...
Characterization and utilization of fly ash derived from the co-combustion of biomass and coal as a mineral admixture for ordinary Portland cement
(2009)
Co-firing coal with renewable/waste biomass for power generation can mitigate the atmospheric discharge of pollutants (e.g., SO2) and green-house gases. Wide-spread application of this technology is impeded, however, by ...
Inuit youth migration from Iqaluit to Ottawa
(2009)
With a public perception that Inuit youth are leaving the North, it is important to improve our understanding of migration in the Circumpolar North. The purpose of this pilot study is to identify, investigate and critically ...
The Potential use of SIFT-MS as a breath diagnostic tool
(2009)
The measurement of volatile chemicals in human breath has recently emerged as a non-invasive technique with the potential for the early diagnosis of disease. A benefit of early diagnosis is that treatment plans including ...
The Correlations and the power characteristics of special classes of binary sequences for multicarrier communications
(2009)
In recent years, multicarrier communication has attracted considerable attention as a promising technology that enables transmission of high data rates. One of major drawbacks of multicarrier communications is the high ...
Location-independent packet scheduling for wireless EPON
(2009)
Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) is the latest access technology, based on IEEE standards, utilizing an optical network architecture optimized for simple, economical delivery of voice, data, and video over native ...
Mobile ontology-based reasoning and feedback health monitoring system
(2009)
As medical technology has developed over the past few decades, the average human life-span has increased and as a side effect, chronic illness has become more prevalent. Many patients now require constant, everyday monitoring ...
Management, environmental and energy considerations for woodwaste
(2009)
Manufacturing operations that process raw wood, such as sawmills and pulp and paper mills, generate wood residue, such as woodwaste, sawdust, shavings, wood chips and off-cuts, also known as woodwaste. The decomposition ...
