In order to preserve valuable riparian functioning, forest harvesting in Canada attempts to protect riparian areas through the application of a no-harvest buffer zone around water bodies, and more recently through the ...
Context aware services for smart learning environments
(2009)
This thesis describes a cost-effective infrastructure and implementation for building ubiquitous learning spaces. It uses techniques from the semantic web and ubiquitous computing to build a learner-centric service-based ...
Carbon dynamics of boreal mixedwoods in central Canada
(2009)
Large amount of carbon (C) stored in boreal forest ecosystems plays an important role in the global carbon cycle. Forest ecosystem C is stored in four major pools: live vegetation (above-and below ground), dead woody ...
Through gendered lenses : exploring rural seniors' use of photovoice to document health barriers and supports in Northwestern Ontario
(2009)

Ruthenium-Tris(Pyrazolyl)methane complexes as potential candidates for cancer chemotherapy agents
(2009)
The MeCN ligands of complex 1 were substitutionally inert, however, under forcing conditions the DMSO ligands of complex 2 were displaced by chelating 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane to produce complex 6. Structural ...

Utilization of coal biomass fly ash in the control and treatment of acid mine drainage
(2009)
This study investigated the feasibility of using coal/biomass fly ash (CBFA) blended with various percentages of mine tailings, bentonite, and glacial till soil to control and treat acid mine drainage (AMD). Applications ...
One-step inactivation of rpoS to investigate its role on Escherichia coli O157:H7 biofilm formation and survival
(2009)
Homologous linear recombination using the recombinogenic capabilites of phage red genes exo, bet and gam, has been used increasingly to generate targeted gene replacements in Gram-negative bacteria.
