Community dynamics resulting from an experimental pulse fishery on the walleye (Stizostedion vitreum vitreum Mitchill) in Henderson Lake
(1988)Henderson Lake is a small 151 ha boreal percid lake approximately 128km northwest of Thunder Bay. A pulse fishery conducted from 1980 to 1982 inclusively, removed 3226 walleye reducing the stock to very low levels (Reid, ... -
Comparison of the yellow perch, Perca flavescens Mitchell, populations in Henderson Lake and Savanne Lake, Ontario
(1984)Yellow perch (Perca flavescens) in Henderson Lake exhibit stunted growth and poor condition at all ages. In addition, they have lower fecundity, longer life span, slower maturation rate, and greater survival compared ... -
Ecology of forage fish following cessation of overharvest of walleye in Henderson Lake, Ontario
(1988)I examined the forage base of Henderson Lake, Ontario following collapse of its walleye stock due to overexploitation, and an inexplicable decline of the ninespine stickleback population. In response to these events a ... -
The 96-hr LC50 and uptake of sodium tellurite in goldfish (Carrasius auratus)
(1992)There is no information regarding toxicity of tellurium in fish. This research used goldfish (Carassius auratus) as an animal model, and sodium tellurite ( Na2Te03) as the form of tellurium to tested. Acute 96-hr LC50 ... -
Effects of an episodic removal scheme on a walleye, stizostedion vitreum vitreum, population
(1985)A pulse fishing scheme, applied over a three year period (1980 to 1982), deliberately removed 3226 walleye from Henderson Lake, Ontario, causing the stock to collapse. The objective of the removal was not only to seek ... -
Detecting trends in walleye (Stizostedion v. vitreum, Mitchill) abundance using catch-effort data
(1995)Three methods of analyzing catch-effort data were investigated regarding their relationship to walleye abundance: mean CUE, Gini coefficient and the relative frequency of zero CUE (RFZ). Walleye recreational fishery ... -
Ecology of a northern pike (Esox Iucius) population in a small, oligotrophic Lake : with comparisons to other northwestern Ontario populations
(1988)The life history and population dynamics of the northern pike (Esox lucius) within Squeers Lake, Ontario were studied in order to provide information on pike found within oligotrophic lakes. Results clearly demonstrate ... -
University that wasn't : the University of Canada North, 1970-1985
(1994)The creation of The University of Canada North, by federal letters patent in 1971, marks the beginning of a revealing episode in northern Canadian history that spans almost fifteen years. The brain-child of Toronto lawyer ... -
Development of nonlinear 3-D, and novel 2-D optical microscope imaging systems for time-lapse imaging
(2004)The design and development of a nonlinear two-photon, 3-D microscope imaging system, software for manipulation of 2-D and 3-D images, and the operation of a novel 2-D imaging system used for monitoring cultured live cell ... -
Photoluminescence and raman characterization of PLEE and MBE grown semiconductor epilayers
(1994)Photoluminescence and Raman investigations of selected alloy semiconductor epilayers are reported. Correlations relating optical spectra and a number of intrinsic and extrinsic properties of the materials studied are ... -
Impurity band conduction in reduced samples of bismuth iron molybdate
(1995)An experimental investigation of the electrical resistance of n-type bismuth iron molybdate (Bi3FeMo2012) pellets at temperatures from 90 to 620 K has been made in an attempt to detect impurity band conduction near room ... -
The effects of propagational factors on quantum wires in close parallel proximity
(1993)Recent advances in semiconductor technology have made it possible to produce devices of such small size that electronic conduction through these devices is dominated by the quantum properties of the electron. The fact ... -
Stephen Crane's impressionism : a step back
(1995)This thesis focuses primarily on Impressionism in three of Stephen Crane's works: Maggie: A Girl of the Streets. The Red Badge of Courage and "The Monster." Impressionism is the most appropriate hypothesis to describe ... -
"Let us all be optimistic from now on" : Oscar Styffe Limited 1927-1945, the middleman of Northwestern Ontario and the pulp and paper trade
(1994)In the 1930's and 1940's, one way for pulp and paper firms to acquire supplies of pulpwood from the forests of Northwestern Ontario was through pulpwood dealers or middlemen. An analysis of one of these timber dealers, ... -
Effects of behavioral statistics on game performances of secondary school female basketball players
(1985)This study was designed to assess the effects of integrating player gathered statistics on players' performance in a senior secondary school girls' basketball team. The nine subjects ranged in age from 16-19 years. A ... -
Daguerreotype as analogy for Whitman's Leaves of Grass
(1993)We commence our examination of the kaleidoscopic range of connections between Whitman and the daguerreotype with a simple, unpretentious news column by Whitman entitled "Visit to Plumbe’s Gallery". This leads to ... -
Effects of forest management, weather, and landscape pattern on furbearer harvests at large-scales
(2003)Over the past 50 years, Ontario’s forest landscape has changed due to ever increasing natural resource management. The natural vegetation pattern, forest composition, and the fire regime have been altered. Maintaining ... -
Construction of a local Lie group from its Lie algebra
(1992)In "Symmetry Groups and Their Applications", by W. Miller [1, p.152-206], Miller discusses local Lie group theory and certain resulting applications in special function theory, in the course of this discussion Miller ... -
Administration error in presenting the WAIS-R blocks : evaluation of an extreme departure
(1992)This study examined block presentation on the Block Design subtest of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised. The standardized procedure dictates that a variety of sides be shown and that the red/white side be ...
