X-ray diffraction and Rietveld structural refinement of selected fluoroperovskites
(2000)This study presents an X-ray diffraction analysis and Rietveld structural refinement of selected synthetic fluoroperovskite-type compounds including the Na1-xKxMgF3 solid solution series in addition to synthetic analogues ... -
Accessory rare metal mineralization in the Coldwell Alkaline Complex, Northwest Ontario
(1990)Accessory rare metal mineralization has been investigated in seven lithologies in intrusive Centres I and III of the Coldwell alkaline complex. All units contain minerals that are enriched in a suite of granitophlle ... -
Assimilation of basic xenoliths within centre 3 syenites of the Coldwell Alkaline Complex, Ontario
(1989)This thesis describes the occurence, mineralogy and assimilation of basic Kenoliths hosted by Centre 3 syenites. Field work ‘was earned out in two locations, one in the vicinity of Neys/Ashburton and the other a ... -
Petrology of syenites from centre III of the Coldwell Alkaline Complex, Northwest Ontario
(1988)The Coldwell Alkaline Complex, situated on the north shore of Lake Superior, is of Neohelikian age. It is intruded into Archean supracrustal rocks of the Superior Province, near Marathon, Ontario. The complex has a diameter ... -
Petrography, geochemistry and petrogenesis of alkaline dyke rocks from the Coldwell Alkaline Complex, Northwestern Ontario
(1988)Dyke rocks occurring in the Coldwell alkaline instrusive complex, N. W. Ontario, were studied by various petrographic and geochemical means. The resulting observations indicate that 5 types of mafic alkaline lamprophyres, ... -
Silicate, sulfide, and platinum - group petrology and mineralogy of the Kawene Intrusion, Quetico subprovince
(1993)The Kawene Intrusion is an ultramafic, layered, metamorphosed Cu- Ni- PGE- bearing intrusion located 29 km east of Atikokan within the Quetico Subprovince of northwestern Ontario. The Kawene Intrusion is emplaced primarily ... -
Aspects of gallium geochemistry in upper mantle-derived lherzolite xenoliths and continental alkaline volcanic rocks
(1989)Various aspects of the geochemistry o-f Ga in upper mantle—derived garnet, Iherzolite xenoliths (from the Bult-fontein Floors mine dump in Kimberley, South Africa), spinel Iherzolite xenoliths (from Mount Porndon, ... -
Lived experiences of senior students returning to university
(2000)This phenomenological study of six purposively selected senior students, over the age of sixty, explored their learning experiences at a small regional university. Participant profiles created from the students' own ... -
Effect of two interval training programs on lactate threshold, ventilatory threshold and oxygen kinetics at the onset of exercise in females
(1991)The primary purpose of the present study was to measure the effects of two different forms of high intensity aerobic interval training. These modes were a) training at a 1:1 work/rest ratio, using 30 seconds work and ... -
The relationship between whole blood, plasma and total blood lactate at various exercise intensities
(1992)The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between lactate concentrations derived from three sources: whole blood (WBLa), plasma (Pla) and total blood (TBLa) during an incremental bicycle ... -
Applying criteria and indicators to assess ecological integrity of a boreal national park and adjoining forest management units / by Andrew James Promaine.
(1999)Assessing and evaluating ecological integrity is a complex and often subjective task. However, recent legislative changes have forced ecosystem managers to develop more quantitative techniques to measure ecological ... -
Plasma ammonia and lactate response to anaerobic exercise, and their relationship to muscle fiber type
(1991)The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in the concentrations of plasma ammonia and lactate to an anaerobic exercise response, lasting 90 seconds (s) in duration. The secondary purpose was to plot this ... -
An evaluation of remotely sensed wetland mapping
(1994)Landscape management is based on the maintenance of natural ecosystems and recognizes the importance of maintaining the habitat diversity of all ecosystem types. Acquiring information about the size, distribution and ... -
Relationship among physical and hydrological stream and drainage basin characteristics and riparian vegetation structure
(2000)The primary goal of this study was to examine the physical and biological structure of riparian zones along streams in the Boreal forest of Northwestern Ontario and to discover whether riparian structure was related to ... -
Conditioning white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) transplants for overwinter storage by root pruning and wrenching
(1987)Problems associated with the establishment and early growth of outplanted white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) led to research on conditioning white spruce transplants for overwinter frozen storage by root pruning and ... -
Growing media, feeding schedules, and container coating for Eucalyptus globulus Labill. container stock production
(1992)Present day container nursery systems for the production of Eucalyptus Dill, are reviewed and documented from the results of a comprehensive questionnaire distributed to 30 major Eucalyptus producing countries. The results ... -
Effects of container volume and shape on the growth of black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.) seedlings
(1984)The objective of this thesis was to evaluate the growth of black spruce seedlings in containers with four soil volumes (45, 90, 180, 360 cm3) and at three diameter/depth shapes (1:2, 1:3, 1:4). Seedling height, root collar ... -
Existence and distribution of serotonin and its 5-HT2-like binding site in the brain : pituitary axis of juvenile and sexually recrudescing female rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
(1999)In the first phase of this study, mammalian serotonin2-like (5-HT2-like) binding sites in juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) hypothalamus, were examined by radioligand binding assay using the tritiated analog ... -
Glyphosate herbicide for the control of aspen in a white spruce plantation in Manitoba
(1989)Three experimental herbicide trials were established within a white spruce plantation located in the Porcupine Provincial Forest of the Mixedwood Section (B.18a) (Rowe 1972) of western Manitoba. The trials were as ... -
Indicators of competition in a Northwestern Ontario jack pine plantation
(1995)Competition in forestry is discussed as a prelude to the hypothesis that tree seedling growth is strongly related to that of other vegetation close to it. The hypothesis states that: a) the relationship is species-dependent; ...
