Theory of mind and behaviour disorder in children with specific language impairment / by Alana M. Holmes.
(2001)The assertion that children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI) do not experience delays in the development of a theory of mind (ToM) has been made by numerous researchers (Eisenmajer & Prior, 1991; Leslie & Frith, ... -
Therapeutic Riding and You : an evaluation of how a local therapeutic riding program affects the lives of riders
(2008)The purpose of the study was to determine how the Thunder Bay Therapeutic Riding Association impacts the lives of the riders; to determine what aspects of the program are most important to the riders; and to provide the ... -
Thermal decomposition and gasification of cellulose and wood wastes
(1980)The thermal decomposition of jack pine bark, white birch sawdust and cellulose has been studied by both isothermal weight-change determinations and dynamic thermogravimetry mostly in inert atmospheres up to 900°C. Gaseous ... -
Thermodynamic studies of the sorption of ammonia on natural and modified chrysotile asbestos
(1981)The sorption of ammonia was studied at 273 and 298 K on Californian and Quebec chrysotile heat-treated at 150, 300, 500 and 700 degrees C. Another ammonia sorption study involving the two chrysotiles treated at 500 ... -
Thin gold films grown in ultra high vacuum on mica substrates
(2003)In-situ evaporation was used to deposit thin gold films (640 A) on mica substrates held at room temperature. The samples were characterized by Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES) and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) ... -
This little piggy goes to market : the Ontario hog producers and the development of controlled marketing
(2007)Imagine being a wheat farmer, working against unpredictable forces to produce grain for the commercial market. You wonder if the weather will co-operate to provide you with good planting, growing and harvesting conditions, ... -
Three dimensional symmetric pyramidal finite elements
(2004)In this thesis we conduct an examination of pyramidal elements and their use as interface, or mortar, elements in the joining of tetrahedral and hexahedral elements in three dimensional finite element meshes. Several new ... -
Through a glass darkly : a study of Henry Vaughan's vision as poet and prophet
(1976)Although it can be argued that anything which arouses curiosity is worthy of human enquiry, and therefore requires no apology,the metaphysical poetry in general, and the religious writings of Henry Vaughan in particular, ... -
Tides of change : place meanings in the Broughton Archipelago
(2006)Rural Vancouver Island is in a state of transition from reliance on traditional resource based industries such as commercial fisheries and forestry (Robinson & Mazzoni, 2003) to a more diversified economy which includes ... -
Time-domain steady-state analysis of circuits with multiple adaptive grids
(2005)An effective adaptive algorithm to calculate the steady-state response of circuits is developed. This algorithm offers a powerful alternative to traditional steady-state simulation techniques, such as the shooting method ... -
Tissue culture system facilitates examination of gene expression during breakage of vegetative dormancy in the potato tuber shoot apical meristem
(2008)While the shoot apical meristem's role during dormancy emergence in seeds is relatively well-understood, molecular factors governing vegetative endodormancy and sprouting in tuberous plants have not been well studied. A ... -
Tobacco use as a risk indicator for periodontal disease in a sample of Northwestern Ontario residents / by Ann Marie Chlebovec.
(2006)According to Pairo and Neill (2002), tobacco use has been identified as a significant risk factor in the development and progression of periodontal disease. However, throughout the literature the effects of smoking on ... -
Tool for measuring self-control in athletes
(1985)The purpose of this study was to develop a practical assessment tool based on Rosenbaum's (1980) Self-Control Schedule (SCS) for measuring self-control in athletes. A questionnaire was developed which in its final form, ... -
Tool for measuring self-preserved "pressure" in athletes
(1984)The purpose of this study was to develop a practical assessment tool for measuring self-perceived "pressure", a situational variant in athletes. A checklist was developed and in its final form contained 16 items. The ... -
Toward a citizens' guide to sustainable forest management in Newfoundland and Labrador
(2000)The management of forests has dramatically changed in the past few decades. Forest managers no longer can prepare and implement forest management plans in isolation of other resource values and local citizens. Today, the ... -
Towards the optimisation of a detection system for markers linked to neural tube defects
(2008)Neural tube defects are the second most common birth defect of the central nervous system. The aim of this research is to design and optimise a novel detection system to analyse five markers that have been shown to be ...
