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 ...
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 ...
Critical reflection in the secondary classroom: anti-oppression education
(2014-01-22)
This thesis argues that schools are sites where an ideology of colonialism is reproduced
through the roles of the institution, the educators (and their education), the students and
the absence of an integrated community. ...
An ytterbium-doped fiber laser at 1.1 um
(2013-02-12)
A pulsed ytterbium-doped fiber laser is proposed and developed. A length of
samarium-doped fiber was inserted into the laser cavity to induce passive Q-switching.
The laser oscillated in the continuous wave, Q-switched ...
