Second generation South Asian Canadians: family or individual mate choice model adoption
(2015-01-13)Family processes have been shown to impact well -being in various immigrant populations in Canada. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of individual choice and/or family choice model adoption of mate ... -
Secret sharing for mobile agent cryptography
(2003)A mobile agent is a multi-threaded autonomous program that can be distributed over a heterogeneous network to perform some predefined task for its hum an creator (user). The independence, flexibility and autonomy offered ... -
Sedimentation models for glacial deltaic successions in the Thunder Bay area
(1991)The comparison of three mapped successions in northern Ontario to glacial deltas reviewed in the literature results in the definition of four end-member depositional environments for glacial deltaic sedimentation. Similar ... -
Sedimentology and Geochemistry of Regressive and Transgressive Surfaces in the Gunflint Formation, Northwestern, Ontario
(2016)The 1.878 Ga Gunflint and equivalent iron formations of the Animikie Basin were deposited during the period after the rise in atmospheric oxygen during the Great Oxidation Event, which began at approximately 2.4 Ga. The ... -
Sedimentology and geochemistry of the 2.93 Ga Basinal Facies of the Red Lake carbonate platform
(2019)The Mesoarchean Red Lake carbonate platform is the oldest (~2.93 Ga) known carbonate platform on Earth. It is comprised of a variety of chemical sedimentary rocks including: limestone, dolostone, chert, oxide iron formation, ... -
Sedimentology and geochemistry of the Mesoproterozoic Pass Lake and Rossport formations, Sibley group
(2006)The Sibley Group is an essentially unmetamorphosed, Mesoproterozoic sedimentary succession consisting of a mixture of siliciclastic and chemical sedimentary rocks. This study examined the sedimentology and geochemistry ... -
Sedimentology and paleogeographic reconstruction of the strata in and adjacent to the Sudbury impact layer in the northern Paleoproterozoic Animikie basin
(2016)The Sudbury Impact Layer (S.I.L.) is dated at 1850 Ma and is located between the underlying Gunflint Formation, with an age of 1878±1 Ma that was obtained from zircons in a tuffaceous zone approximately 105 meters below ... -
Sedimentology and sequence stratigraphy of the paleoproterozoic Rove and Virginia formations, southwest Superior Province
(2006)The Paleoproterozoic Rove and Virginia Formations are lithostratigraphically and chronostratigraphically correlative units which comprise the upper sedimentary strata in the Animikie basin. They sharply overlie an intensely ... -
Sedimentology and stratigraphy of the northern and central metasedimentary belts in the Beardmore-Geraldton area of northern Ontario
(1987)The northern and central metasedimentary belts (NMB, CMB) are east-trending, regional (formation- to group-scale) iithostratigraphic units within the Beardmore-Geraldton Archean terrane of northern Ontario's Superior ... -
Seeing education through two pairs of eyes : an investigation of community involvement in the education system of a Northern Cree community
(2005)This qualitative emergent research study investigated the perceptions of involvement of Aboriginal community members in the formal secondary education system of a Northern Cree community by using a grounded theory approach. ... -
Seeing without rods or cones: contributions of intrinsically-photosensitive retinal ganglion cells to the image-forming visual system
(2014-01-22)It was long thought that rods and cones were the only components of the mammalian retina capable of conveying light information to the brain. Recently, a novel class of transduction-capable retinal ganglion cells containing ... -
Segmented hollow core photonic crystal fiber as a gas cell
(2022)Developing a unique gas cell based on hollow core photonic crystal fiber (HC- PCF) improving its ability to be used in measurements which require higher temporal resolution. Traditional HC-PCF is an excellent candidate ... -
Seismic performance evaluation of reinforced concrete bridge piers considering postearthquake capacity degradation
(2021)Bridges play a key role in the transportation sector while serving as lifelines for the economy and safety of communities. The need for resilient bridges is especially important following natural disasters, where they ... -
Selected ion flow tube-mass spectrometry in plant volatile compound analysis
(2009-07-20)Four monoterpenes and two monoterpenoids, (+)- and DL-limonene, (1S)-(3) carene, terpinolene, cineol and rose oxide, respectively, were studied using selected ion flow tube-mass spectrometry. Specifically, the reactions ... -
Selecting locations for forest fuel treatments using simulation optimization
(2009)Wildfires in the Canadian boreal forest poses a considerable threat to forest inventory, structures and human lives. Traditional reactive methods of fire suppression fail to mitigate this threat and can worsen the problem ... -
Self tuned NFC and adaptive hysteresis based DTC scheme for IM drive
(2011)The concept of field oriented control scheme brought the revolutionary change in industrial drives. Due to the high initial and running costs of the DC machines, the trend shifted from DC to AC motor drives to obtain high ... -
