Qualitative differences in the effects of food and water on learned behavior
(1973)Experimental interest for the present research stemmed from the traditionally accepted notion that qualitatively different reinforcers, such as food and water, have similar effects on learning. The present investigation ... -
Qualitative study of five FSL teachers using constructivism to support second language learning
(2003)This qualitative study concerns how five participants who teach French use constructivism as a theory of learning in their classrooms and how this effects their students’ learning. In a constructivist classroom, learning ... -
Quantitative electroencephalographic amplitude, memory, and cognitive ability in Canadian First Nation adult offenders with and without solvent abuse histories / Michael R. Moland. --
(2005)Most electroencephalographic (EEG) studies of solvent exposure have involved factory workers chronically exposed to industrial chemicals. Few studies have examined the neurological effects of recreationally abused solvents, ... -
Quest for identity : defining the "self" in two novels by Annie Proulx
(1998)The idea of the “self’ as an autonomous whole is no longer sufficient in contemporary discussions of identity. Individuals are “subjects,” defining themselves against and through other subjects and their environments. A ... -
Quetico Fault in the Superior Province of the southern Canadian Shield
(1984)The Quetico fault is a major transcurrent fault in the southern Superior Province of the Canadian Shield. Along part of its length the fault forms the boundary between the Wabigoon subprovinces. Dextral motion on the ... -
R.B. Bennett and the charge of one-man government : an analysis of his relationship with potential rivals
(1974)The purpose of this paper is to study R.B. Bennett's style of government from 1930-1935, a period in which Bennett has been labelled the Prime Minister of a "one-man government". An attempt will be made to assess the ... -
Radiation response in cells derived from individuals with hereditary breast cancer / by Lindsay Sutherland.
(2008)Inherited germline mutations in the tumour suppressor gene BRCA1 (BReast CAncer susceptibility gene 1) can lead to an increased risk for various cancers. Evidence now suggests that epigenetic changes resulting in reduced ... -
Radio resource allocation in OFDMA system
(2006)In this thesis, orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) system is considered. Assuming perfect knowledge of instantaneous channel conditions for all users, we propose resource allocation algorithms to ... -
Rare and exotic mineralogy of the western subcomplex of the Deadhorse Creek "diatreme", Northwestern Ontario
(2004)The Deadhorse Creek ‘Diatreme’ is a Proterozoic vent breccia that probably formed in response to early mid-continent rifting. Following emplacement of the breccia, the western subcomplex experienced three alteration ... -
(Re)i-magining identity : plural subjectivities in Beryl Gilroy's Frangipani House and Michelle Cliff's No telephone to heaven
(2001)This thesis uses the concepts, definitions, theories, and poetry of black women, in particular highlighting those of Africaribbean women, to look at the construction of identity in two novels by two women of the Caribbean ... -

Re-examination of the relationship between the Type A behavior pattern and heart rate recovery from a psychosocial stressor
(1984)A recent study by Hart and Jamieson (1983) reported that Type A males recover from a psychosocial stressor significantly slower than their Type B counterparts. It is unclear, however, whether this result is a robust ... -
Reactions of Co(II) with sodium cyanotrihydroborate in the presence of a series of bidentate and some monodentate phosphines
(1981)The reactions between Co(C10[subscript4])[subscript2].6H[subscript2]O or CoCl[subscript2].6H[subscript2]O, NaBH[subscript3]CN and some monodentate (PPh[subscript3] and Pcy[subscript3]) and a series of bidentate phosphines ... -
Reactions of Ni (II) with sodium cyanotrihydroborate in presence of some bidentate phosphines

Reactions of Ni(II) with NaBh4 and NaBh3 CN in the presence of mono-and bidentate phosphines under CO atmosphere
(1988)Phosphine-substituted carbonyl complexes of Ni have been prepared. The reaction between NiC12.6H20, NaBH4 or NaBH3CN and either PPh3 or a series of phosphines of the type Ph2P-(CH2)n-PPh2 (n=1-5) and also cis-dppe under ... -
Reactions of sodium tetrahydroborate with metal ions in the presence of nitrogen donor ligands
(1977, c197)The work described in this thesis is part of an ongoing effort in these laboratories to determine in more detail how a variety of factors, particularly the nature of added ligands, affects the type of products and the ... -
Reactivity and mechanistic study of the Sonogashira coupling and Grignard-Sonogashira coupling reactions
(2002)The interest in studying enediyne systems was stimulated by the discovery of anti-cancer agents containing enediyne functionalities, such as esperamicin and dynemicin. These compounds have potential for use as anti-tumour ... -
Reactivity study of the palladium cross-coupling synthesis of enediynes
(1999)A reactivity study looking at various aspects of the palladium catalyzed (Sonogashira) reaction for die synthesis of enediynes was performed. Alkynes were coupled to 1,2- dichloro-, 1,2-dibromo- and 1,2-diiodobenzene. ...
