Behaviour and reproductive success of female-female pairs of Ring-billed gulls (Larus delawarenis), Granite Island
(1982)Female-female pairs of Ring-billed Gulls were studied on Granite Island, northern Lake Superior, during the breeding seasons of 1979 and 1980. In 1979 the colony consisted of approximately 2400 pairs with 99 nests (4.1%) ... -
Thermodynamic studies of the sorption of ammonia on natural and modified chrysotile asbestos
(1981)The sorption of ammonia was studied at 273 and 298 K on Californian and Quebec chrysotile heat-treated at 150, 300, 500 and 700 degrees C. Another ammonia sorption study involving the two chrysotiles treated at 500 ... -
Application of a sequential partial extraction procedure to investigate uranium, copper, zinc, iron and manganese partitioning in recent lake, stream and bog sediments, northern Saskatchewan / by Douglas Andrew Warren Lehto. --
(1981)Sequential partial extractions show that partitioning of uranium, copper, zinc, iron and manganese into lake, stream and bog sediments are affected by the type and abundance of component fractions present in sediments ... -
Biology of "peak" and "late" nesting Ring-billed gulls, Granite Island, Lake Superior
(1982)Late-nesting Ring-billed Gulls in this study laid fewer and smaller eggs and hatched fewer young than earlier nesting pairs. Birds nesting late in the season appeared to lack sufficient stimuli for incubation, as indicated ... -
Image, symbol, and the life of the imaginaton in the works of Sinclair Ross
Until very recently, studies of the works of Sinclair Ross have over-looked his literary artistry to focus on his place among those writers whose time and place is the Canadian prairie during the Depression, Ross’s ... -
Mineralogy and petrology of the Ham Kimberlite, Somerset Island, N.W.T., Canada
(1982)The Ham diatreme and dyke are post-late Silurian intrusions located in north-central Somerset Island and are the most northerly known kimberlites in the Somerset Island kimberlite province. The Ham diatreme, which ... -
Short-term retention of flexibility in varsity ice hockey players / by Claude Daniel Chevrier. --
(1981, c198)The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of various stretching exercises on flexibility during competition-specific activities. A Leighton FI exometer was used to measure flexibility. Testing and training ... -
Investigation of responses of age-group swimmers during training
(1982)The purpose of this study was to monitor a series of multidisciplinary indices associated with swimming performance in age-group swimmers throughout a period of serious training. Three female and three male members of ... -
Demonstration and evaluation of hemoglobin and hematocrit testing as support services in preparing elite swimmers for serious competition
(1982)These studies demonstrated and evaluated the usefulness of hemoglobin concentrations (Hb gm%) and hematocrit percentages (Hct %) in the preparation of elite swimmers for serious competition. Study 1 monitored Hb and Hct ... -
Studies on the decomposition of alcohols on metal oxide catalysts
(1982)The catalytic decomposition of 2-propanol has been investigated by a micropulse reactor technique in the temperature range from 461 to 547 K on nickel oxide and alumina doped nickel oxide. Nickel oxide is active for the ... -
Some relaxation studies of molecular and intramolecular motions in glassy o-terphenyl
(1982)In this work, the results of dielectric studies carried out on a number of molecules of the general form y [symbol] x are presented. These molecules have been studied mainly in two forms: as solutions of glassy o-terphenyl, ... -
Effects of cognitive strategies on the performance of female swimmers
(1982)The purpose of this thesis was to examine the effects of cognitive strategies on the performance of three female swimmers. The independent variables were the three strategy conditions that were used by the subjects. The ... -
Gravity study of an Archaen crustal segment near Thunder Bay, Ontario
(1982)A gravity survey in an area involving portions of the Quetico and Shebandowan subprovinces of the Superior structural province resulted in the establishment of 350 new gravity stations in addition to 50 previously ... -
Optical determination of metal-semiconductor Schottky barriers
(1982)The photovoltage produced by a Schottky barrier photocell shows a strong temperature dependence if the barrier is not too large. We have used this temperature dependence to obtain the barrier height for several ...
