Heavy metal accumulation in a feather moss, Pleurozium schreberi, and soils in Northwestern Ontario
(1977)It has been determined that carpet-forming mosses are good indicators of heavy metal deposition, since they are dependent on their supply of nutrients from above rather than from the substrate. Samples of the common ... -
Studies of the catalytic activities and resistance to sulphur poisoning of P-3 nickel and P-3 cobalt borides
(1976)The heterogeneous liquid-phase catalytic hydrogenation of alkenes over partially hydrogenated P-3 nickel and P-3 cobalt borides has been investigated. -
Relationship of lower limb flexibility, strength, and anthropometric measures to skating speed in varsity hockey players
(1977)The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship of flexibility, strength and anthropometric measurements of the lower limbs to the skating speed of hockey players. Seventeen university varsity hockey players ... -
Decomposition of 2-propanol over vanadium pentoxide and modified vanadium pentoxide catalysts
(1977)The catalytic decomposition of 2-propanol has been investigated in a flow system from 200-300°C on vanadium pentoxide and modified vanadium pentoxide catalysts. Dehydration, dehydrogenation and propane formation were ... -
Finite element solutions to boundary value problems
(1977)The finite element solution of certain two-point boundary value problems is discussed. In order to obtain more accuracy than the linear finite element method can give, an order-h[superscript 4] global superconvergence ... -
Photolysis of para-substituted styrene polymers
(1977)This thesis describes the photolysis of para-substituted styrene polymers. Poly(vinylacetophenone), poly(p-bromostyrene), poly(p-chlorostyrene), poly(p-fluorostyrene), poly(p-isopropylstyrene), poly(p-methoxystyrene), ... -
Reproductive performance of Ring-billed gulls in relation to nest location
(1978)Reproductive performance of Ring-billed Gulls (Larus delawarensis) in relation to nest location was investigated on Granite Island, northern Lake Superior, in 1976 and 1977. To determine whether any differences existed in ... -
Structure and reactivity studies of simple phospholes
(1977)Newer techniques of phosphole synthesis, particularly those which lead to simple phospholes substituted with active functional groups, are briefly surveyed. A detailed account of chemical, physico-chemical, spectroscopic ... -
Effects of depressed pH on survival, growth and reproduction of brook trout, Salvelinus fontinalis (Mitchill)
(1977)Brook trout were continuously exposed to depressed pH values from 4.0 to 6.0, at 0.5 unit Intervals during a nine-month partial-chronic bloassay. At all pH levels above 4.0, Juvenile fish exhibited greater than 96 per ... -
Comparison of the on-hand and off-hand straight spikes in volleyball
(1980)The purpose of this study was twofold: 1) to examine the differences between the on-hand side and off-hand side spikes in volleyball in terms of velocity and accuracy, and 2) to evaluate the relationship of the angle ... -
Carabidae (Coleoptera) and associated Acari in Northwestern Ontario
(1978)Site collection areas : Shabaqua 65 km. northwest of Thunder Bay and Gilbride Road near One Island Lake 32 km. northwest of Thunder Bay. -
Stratigraphy, structure and metamorphism of Archean rocks at Rainy Lake, Ontario
(1980)The rocks of the Rainy Lake area have been deformed during three distinctive episodes. Minor structures provide the geometry which characterizes each episode. The youngest structures include regional faults, a crenulation ... -
Reactions of sodium tetrahydroborate with metal ions in the presence of nitrogen donor ligands
(1977, c197)The work described in this thesis is part of an ongoing effort in these laboratories to determine in more detail how a variety of factors, particularly the nature of added ligands, affects the type of products and the ... -
Dielectric studies of molecular and intramolecular motions in polystryrene matrices
(1977)Dielectric absorption studies of a variety of polar solutes containing rotatable groups and of some analogous rigid molecules dispersed in atactic polystyrene have been carried out. Preparation of the solutions as solid ...
