Tracking habitat use by boreal toads in disturbed forest on the boreal plain in Alberta
(2014-12-05)
Radio-telemetry is an effective way of collecting detailed information on the behaviour of a great many species. However, the presence of the radio-transmitter may influence the behaviour of the subject, an effect for which ...
Nonlinear transient analysis based on wave digital filters
(2014-01-22)
Simulation of large circuit networks is a CPU-time and memory consuming task. Computer clusters and multi-core processors have become common but algorithms must be parallelizable to fully take advantage of these architectures. ...
Polar bears: the conservation of an arctic icon in a warming climate
(2014-12-16)
Subpopulation growth rates and the probability of decline at current harvest levels were determined for 13 subpopulations of polar bears (Ursus maritimus) that are within or shared with Canada based on the most recent ...
Electrochemical methods and membrane bioreactor approach for wastewater treatment and water quality assessment
(2014-01-22)
Severe water scarcity, high health standards, and strict disposal limits have necessitated the development of novel and robust strategies for wastewater remediation and water quality analysis at lower cost with reduced ...
Power minimization and optimum ONU placements in integrated wireless optical access networks
(2014-01-22)
The deployment of optical fibre in place of copper cable in access networks has experienced remarkable growth over the past several years due to a wide range of benefits. A major benefit of optical fibre over copper cable ...
Mathematically-based stories in junior classes : do stories change attitudes toward mathematics?
(2014-01-22)
This study explored evidence of a change in students' attitude towards mathematics in junior classes through the use of a mathematically-based stories unit. Using a questionnaire, observations, interviews, and classroom ...
Investigation of winter habitat selection by woodland caribou in relation to forage abundance and snow accumulation
(2014-01-22)
Imprecision and misclassification of land cover types are two issues commonly
encountered in habitat selection studies using satellite land cover classifications and
telemetry data. Here, the utility of broad land cover ...
Bimodal discrimination tasks involving different hierarchical processing levels reveal a late stage interaction between multisensory integration and attention
(2014-12-19)
Multisensory integration and attention have been studied independently and a vast
amount of literature exists for both phenomena. Researchers have recently raised
questions, however, as to how these two processes interact. ...
The Effect of warm-ups and elevated oxygen consumption on running performance in trained collegiate distance runners
(2014-01-22)
The mobilization hypothesis (Andzel & Gutin, 1976) states that starting a performance with an elevated baseline oxygen consumption will improve performance by reducing the oxygen deficit at the beginning of the task, ...
Dynamic bandwidth scheduling and burst construction algorithm for downlink in (4G) mobile WiMAX networks
(2014-01-22)
Advanced wireless systems, also called fourth generation (4G) wireless systems, such as Mobile Worldwide interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), are developed to provide broadband wireless access in true sense. ...
