phenology, growth and physiological responses to photoperiod and elevated [co2] of boreal white birch (betula papyrifera marsh): implications to climate change-induced northward migration
(2019)with the increase in average global temperature due to rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([co2]), rapid shifts of climate envelopes are expected to lead to norward migration for boreal tree species. as a ... -
development of nanostructured material based electrochemical sensors for food safety and quality control
(2019)the issue of foodborne related illnesses due to additives and contaminants poses a significant challenge to food processing industries. electrochemical-based strategies offer simple and robust analytical tools, which are ... -
reliability analysis of soil liquefaction using truncated distributions
(2019)soil liquefaction is a phenomenon caused by seismic activity in the ground which may result in surface settlement, the formation of sand boils, lateral spreading that ultimately damages the super-structure and loss of ... -
particle swarm optimization based adaptive neuro-fuzzy interference system for mppt control of a three phase grid connected photovoltaic system
(2019)there is a significant demand for renewable energy systems to ensure sustainable and environmentally friendly living. shifting from the use of fossil fuels to renewable energy sources will decrease both the reliance on ... -
diagnostic and treatment approaches to fibromyalgia management: quantification of peripheral blood mononuclear cell function and evaluation of radial shockwave therapy
(2019)fibromyalgia (fm) is a chronic pain disorder that affects many individuals worldwide. the lack of a definitive diagnostic method and highly successful treatment approaches make it an interesting area of research. in the ... -
constructing two-dimensional molecular networks on metal and semiconducting surfaces : a scanning tunneling microscopy study
(2019)the synthesis of two-dimensional organic nanostructures on metal and semiconducting surfaces is studied under ultra-high vacuum (uhv) conditions. three halogenated organic molecules are investigated using scanning tunneling ... -
simulation-based modelling of the unpaved road deterioration and maintenance program in heavy construction and mining sectors
(2019)saving cost is a significant factor in the successful operation of heavy civil engineering, such as highway and dam construction, and mining projects, which can be achieved through the reduction of operating costs in large ... -
experimental determination of the residual compressive strength of concrete columns subjected to different fire durations and load ratios
(2019)the superior thermal property of concrete associated to its great capability of thermally insulating the embedded reinforcing steel rebar is the main reason for the good behavior of reinforced concrete structural elements ... -
are individuals able to accurately report their own behaviour? an investigation of observer-respondent disparity of reported behaviours associated with social anxiety?
(2019)social anxiety is characterized by the powerful fear of negative evaluation from others and a high level of self-focused attention (sfa). in addition, socially anxious individuals often engage in a variety of anxiety-related ... -
using unmanned aerial vehicles and wildlife camera trapping for the early assessment of road reclamation effects in northern ontario
(2019)the forest industry has been performing forest road reclamation to regenerate forests after harvest, to maintain wildlife habitat and to limit forest access by the public, all to help maintain large, contiguous wild forests. ... -

(2018)an essential consideration for campus administrators and faculty members is that 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 complete their degree with good academic grades. being able to predict factors affecting 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 performance is necessary to help ... -
a functional trait analysis of successional pathway dynamics
(2018)the study of plant community re-assembly following disturbances in anthropogenically managed landscapes is a necessity in today’s climate. the measurement of plant functional traits is a tool that can be of great help in ... -
residue analysis of pre-contact small and miniature pottery: a multi-proxy approach
(2019)small and miniature pottery vessels are common in north american archaeological sites, although they have rarely been the focus of study. these vessels are variously interpreted to be mortuary or ceremonial vessels, ... -
estimation of stripping by static immersion test using image processing and machine learning
(2019)hot mixed asphalt (hma) is one of the most common types of pavement, which exists on the surface of the roads, inside and outside of cities. one of the main destresses in hma is moisture-related damage, which mainly occurs ... -
on the motion of vertical and oblique sand jets in stagnant immiscible liquids
(2019)sand jets and particle clouds in water and viscous fluids have been a frequent subject of intense research and are pertinent to many environmental, industrial, and engineering processes. mixing and dispersion of sand ... -
measurement of rabi oscillation in a spin system
(2018)this work proposes that during the application of an on-resonance mr- pulse there exists a rabi oscillating fi eld which can be directly measured from a nuclear spin system. these oscillations have been previously ... -
association among age, sex, and geographical region with health care utilization through the ontario telemedicine network
(2019)the ontario telemedicine network (otn) facilitates virtual health care services across all of ontario. founded in 2006, otn has allowed patients to access specialized care that was once only accessible in urban settings.1 ... -
hydraulic and dynamic assessment of triangular labyrinth weirs and wier-pool type fishways
(2019)the hydraulic performance of traditional labyrinth weirs has been extensively studied in the literature. the research outcomes indicated that labyrinth weirs have many hydraulic advantages to pass more flow with a constant ... -
wild rice (zizania palustris l.) re-establishment through mechanical removal of invasive cattails (typha angustifolia l.)
(2019)re-establishment of wild rice following the removal of the invasive cattail, typha angustifolia, was examined in a traditional and culturally important stand of wild rice belonging to the seine river first nation on rainy ... -
techno-economic analysis and supply chain design for a forest biorefinery to produce value-added bio-based products from lignin
