Improving power of L1 data cache and register file utilizing critical path instructions
(2014)As transistor’s feature size shrinks, power becomes one of the limiting factors in design of modern processors. Cache and register file are the two power hungry components in processors, consuming more than one third of ... -
In through the outdoors: exploring the role of facilitated wilderness experiences in shaping my understanding of self and my relations with other people and the other-than-human world
(2014-12-11)I examine the role of facilitated wilderness experiences in shaping my understanding of self in relation to people and the other-than-human world through a critical qualitative approach using auto-ethnography to engage ... -
In vitro antioxidant and antibacterial activity of twenty-one Northern Ontario medicinal plants
(2014-01-22)Aboriginal communities in the northern Ontario region utilize an abundance of locally grown medicinal plants. However, no prior documentation or phytochemical studies on the northern Ontario medicinal plants existed in ... -
In vitro detection of apoptosis using superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles and molecular magnetic resonance imaging
(2010)Superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles have the potential to greatly expand current anatomical imaging techniques, specifically MRI. SPIO nanoparticles targeted to phosphatidylserine (PS) have the potential to ... -
In vivo assessment of leucine stimulated glucose uptake in brown adipose tissue
(2017)Activation of brown adipose tissue in mice, through the use of the amino acid leucine, was investigated. Brown adipose tissue has become a topic of interest in recent years, as activation of this tissue has been proposed ... -
In/visible families : exploring the experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, trans-identified, and two-spirited parents in Northern Ontario school communities / by Natalie Rowlandson.
(2010)The purpose of this study was to learn about the nature of interactions between Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Queer, Trans-identified, and Two-Spirited (LGBQTT) parents and their children’s teachers and school principals. A case ... -
The Incidence of invasive Haemophilus influenzae disease in Northwestern Ontario
(2009)Prior to the late 1980s, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) was the most common cause of meningitis, epiglottitis, and other invasive bacterial infections in young children. The introduction of the conjugate Hib vaccines ... -
Incorporating operational road planning constraints into an integrated tactical level harvest-scheduling and road-planning model
(2015)At the operational scale of forest planning, the location of roads, in a complex terrain, is a decision of major economic importance. The objective is to locate a network of roads connecting pre-selected cut-blocks, at ... -
Increased production of cellulosic sugars from lignocellulosic materials
(2018)Renewable energy is energy that is regenerated naturally for infinite time. Renewable energy can be categorized into solar, hydro, wind, geothermal, and biomass. Biomass is an organic material such as agricultural, forest ... -
Increased production of sugar streams from lignocellulosic materials through enzyme recycling
(2019)The Canadian pulp and paper mills generate over 1 million tons of primary sludge per year. This sludge mainly contains small cellulosic fibers and contaminants from pulp and paper manufacture and is usually disposed of by ... -
Indigenizing Environmental Education: How can Land-Based Practices become an Educational Journey of Reconciliation?
(2015)Environmental education today centres on the protection and conservation of land for settler-Canadians. This research explores how including an Indigenous perspective of Land into environmental education can aid non-Indigenous ... -
Indigenous knowledge centres & the transmission of knowledge
(2022)The research study “Indigenous Knowledge Centres and the Transmission of Knowledge” was undertaken in order to understand the process of Indigenous knowledge (IK) acquisition, storage, and transmission. The undertaking ... -
Indigenous representations in novels used in the Ontario Secondary English classroom
(2020)This study analyzes representations of Indigenous Peoples in novels used in the Ontario secondary English classroom. This research identifies the impacts that inaccurate or limited representations of Indigenous Peoples ... -
Indirect minimization of common-mode voltage with finite control-set model predictive control in a five-level inverter
(2024)Multilevel inverters (MLIs) are counted as the crucial part of the electric drive systems (EDSs) primarily due to their ability to handle higher operating powers and voltages, to provide high-quality output waveform, and ... -
Individual differences in flirting and attractivity mating strategies: sex, gender, and the menstrual cycle
(2014-01-22)Previous research suggests sex differences in mate preferences and mating strategies based on reproductive constraints (Buss, 2005). Furthermore, research has suggested that women's mating behaviours change across the ... -
The Infant feeding experiences of urban Aboriginal mothers : implications for universal breastfeeding policy
