A cross-sectional examination of aging, alcohol use, and cognitive health in the Canadian longitudinal study of aging (CLSA) baseline data
(2020)
Age, sex, and alcohol use have been identified as factors that influence cognition. The present
study aimed to replicate and extend these findings by examining the effects of age, sex, alcohol
use, and their interactions ...
Towards machine learning enabled future-generation wireless network optimization
(2020)
We anticipate that there will be an enormous amount of wireless devices connected
to the Internet through the future-generation wireless networks. Those wireless devices vary
from self-driving vehicles to smart wearable ...
Medical applications of fluorine-19 and hyperpolarized xenon129 magnetic resonance imaging
(2020)
Multinuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is currently under extensive
development. Although conventional proton MRI is mostly known as an anatomical medical
imaging modality with an excellent soft tissue contrast, ...
The Chronicles of North Narnia: a scholarly personal narrative of place-based learning on the Lakehead University Thunder Bay campus
(2020)
Whether they are large intact forests or small urban greenspaces, places have the potential to
captivate, inspire, educate and foster a deep sense of stewardship towards the natural world. Placebased education is a growing ...
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 ...
Crossing the divide: supporting students and families relocating from remote First Nations communities to urban centres
(2020)
This research explores the experiences of First Nations students and families when they
relocate from their homes in remote First Nations communities to an urban centre. The research

Utilization of alternative testing methods in the evaluation of pulp and paper mill effluent toxicity
(2020)
Pulp mills are required to perform routine regulatory testing to ensure the effluent they release
from their water treatment plants is not harmful to humans and the environment. The key components
within the effluent ...
Salmonid thermal habitats in Lake Superior tributaries
(2020)
For some potamodromous salmonid species, such as the Brook Trout, streams are a critical
spawning habitat but also habitat for juveniles and stream residents to grow. Salmonids are coldwater fishes and cooler stream water ...
Utilization of hydrodynamic modeling in predicting water quality and Brook Trout habitat: reclamation of a mine impacted Boreal Shield Lake
(2020)
Mining operations in Ontario are subject to regulatory limits on effluent release into
surrounding waterbodies designed to preserve aquatic life. However, said guidelines may not
always be enough to prevent damage to the ...
Exploring the effect of predator experience on Yellow Perch (Perca flavescens) behaviour and predator recognition
(2020)
Recreational and commercial fisheries are important resources that can be
vulnerable to disruption by invasive species, particularly the introduction of top predators
into water systems that have not previously supported ...
