Integrating a tactical harvest-scheduling model with a log sort-yard location model
(2014-01-22)
Failure to sort logs prior to their transportation to a mill can result in a loss of
value in the forest products supply chain—for unsorted, higher value logs can be used in
a low-value product where lower valued logs ...
Critical decisions: risk allocation in a model arthropod (Folsomia candida)
(2015-06-15)
Risk allocation theory predicts that foraging animals moderate predation risk by
allocating their foraging effort and space use according to their energetic demands.
Undernourished animals have a greater need for energy ...
Testate amoebae (thecamoebian) based reconstruction of Lake Simcoe fringe wetland paleoenvironments
(2014-12-12)
Lake Simcoe, Ontario, Canada, a large southern Ontario
glacial lake, has been affected by multiple environmental
stressors throughout its history. This study uses testate
amoebae paleodistribution to reconstruct the ...
Developing a Multiplex PCR Platform to Determine the Virulence Genes of Escherichia Coli in Boulevard Lake, Thunder Bay, Ontario
Given the evidence that E. coli can establish in the periphytic community and be released back into the water column, it is important to understand the pathogenicity of this group of E. coli by examining the virulence genes ...
Functional Imaging of the Lungs using Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Inert Fluorinated Gases
(2016)
Fluorine-19 (19F) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lungs using inhaled inert fluorinated gases can potentially provide high quality anatomical and functional images of the lungs. This technique is able to visualize ...
Psychological and physiological predictors of the development and modulation of instrusive images
(2014-01-22)
Researchers have suggested that engaging in visuospatial tasks, such as the videogame
Tetris™, following a trauma may interfere with the development of intrusive images
associated with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). ...
Issues and underlying factors relating to the graduation rates of Aboriginal students from mathematics programs
(2014-01-22)
The intent of my research was to shed light on the factors that impede Aboriginal students from finding success in their formal mathematical instruction within the Ontario provincial education system. The goal of my research ...
Ecological niche modelling : salix in Ontario
(2013-04-10)
It has long been recognized that organisms exist in environments peculiar to taxa. Climate is thought to be of primary importance in determining the natural geographic distribution of species. Growing concern over climate ...
Elastic-based multi-scale graph drawing
(2012-11-10)
Graph drawing is an important information visualization technique with applications in a variety of disciplines, including VLSI design, bioinformatics, geography, and social network analysis. We present a new force-directed, ...
Formational processes of recent, arsenic rich, ferromanganese lacustrine precipitates in Nova Scotia and Northern Ontario
(2014-01-22)
Banded iron - and manganese - rich precipitates were collected from the lake bottoms of Lake Charlotte (Nova Scotia), Lake Shebandowan (Ontario) and Sowden Lake (Ontario). Investigations of study areas at the macro, meso ...
