Early action investment in the Kyoto Protocol
(2003-07-17)Since uncertainty and irreversibility are inherent, environmental policy involves the problems of timing of implementation. Environmental policy based on cost-benefit analysis using certainty equivalent presents values can ... -
Early Cambrian tidal sedimentary environments, western Victoria Island, Arctic Canada
(2014-04-14)The currently unnamed early Cambrian (Series 2, Stage 4) sandstone unit is exposed in the Minto Inlier of western Victoria Island, Canadian Arctic Islands, and forms the base of the Phanerozoic succession. Coeval with other ... -
Early detection of morbidity in feedlot cattle using pattern recognition techniques
(2007)Computer algorithms are routinely used to aid in the identification of biological patterns not easily detected with standard statistics. Currently, observed changes in normal patterns of feeding behavior (FB) are used to ... -
Early gonadotropin secretion and sexual maturation in bull calves and ram lambs
(1996-06-01)Regulation of the early rise in gonadotropin secretion in bull calves and its involvement in the reproductive development of bull calves and ram lambs were studied. Development of the testes, prostate and seminal vesicles ... -
Early impact of a new food store intervention on health-related outcomes
(2016-07-26)Neighbourhood food environments influence what people choose to eat and consequently affect their health. Literature suggests that having supermarkets/grocery stores with healthier food options in a neighbourhood supports ... -
Early Intervention Experiences: Parental Satisfaction, Involvement, and Perception of Quality
(2017-07-18)Parental satisfaction of, and involvement, in early intervention programs is important for child success and promotes resilience in parents and children (Fantuzzo et al., 2006). Early intervention programs and parental ... -
EARLY RESPONSES OF NORTHERN BOREAL VEGETATION TO POWER LINE RIGHT-OF-WAY MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES INCLUDING THE ACUTE TOXICITY OF IMAZAPYR AND TRICLOPYR TO NON-TARGET PLANTS
(2017-01-05)Integrated Vegetation Management (IVM) techniques on power line rights-of-way (ROWs) have successfully reduced environmental and economic costs of vegetation management by selecting techniques that facilitate the establishment ... -
Early Upper Cambrian (Marjuman) linguliformean brachiopods from the Deadwood Formation
(2005-04-22)The Deadwood Formation is an Upper Cambrian to Lower Ordovician succession of sandstones, shales, siltstones and limestones that blanketed central western North America during the initial Phanerozoic transgression. This ... -
Earning their wings : British pilot training, 1912-1918
(2006-12-15)This thesis outlines the development of Royal Flying Corps’s (RFC) training programme from 1912 to 1918. It is based largely on archival sources from the National Archives and Imperial War Museum (London) and the Bundesarchiv ... -
The earthly structures of divine ideas : influences on the political economy of Giovanni Botero
(2003-04-28)Giovanni Botero’s (1544-1617) treatise The Reason of State (1589) seemed somewhat uncharacteristic of sixteenth-century political thought, considering the pride of place given to economics in his text. The Age of Reformation ... -
ECG compression for Holter monitoring
(2007-04-11)Cardiologists can gain useful insight into a patient's condition when they are able to correlate the patent's symptoms and activities. For this purpose, a Holter Monitor is often used - a portable electrocardiogram (ECG) ... -
Ecological and molecular studies of fungal communities associated with roots of Salix spp. grown under high density, short rotation intensive culture
(2011-01)In Canada, willow (Salix spp.) short rotation intensive cultures (SRIC) have been established to investigate their potential to produce biomass for bioenergy. Since root-associated fungal communities are involved in plant ... -
Ecological Correlates of Stress in the Canadian Population of Black-tailed Prairie Dogs
(2018-06-08)Black-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus) are a foundational species in the mixed-grass prairie ecosystem whose numbers have been declining in Canada over the past two decades. In predator-prey systems, risk of ... -
Ecological effects of a bleached kraft pulp mill effluent on benthic biota of the Athabasca River
(1999-01-01)The effects of nutrient enrichment and contaminant toxicity from a bleached kraft mill effluent (BKME) on the benthic biota of the Athabasca River were assessed using an integrated assessment approach. Components of the ... -
Ecological factors affecting midcontinent light goose recruitment
(2016-12-22)A full understanding of population dynamics requires knowledge about the relative contributions of both adult survival and recruitment to population growth rate. Avian life cycles consist of a number of reproductive stages ... -
Ecological genetics aspects of anthropogenic host-shifts in soapberry bugs (Rhopalidae)
(2016-06-21)Host range expansion, or adaptation of insects to new hosts, is a worldwide phenomenon that has been observed repeatedly and extensively; still, the genetic mechanisms behind host-shifts are not well known. In this thesis ... -
Ecological investigation of a new host-parasite relationship : Parelaphostrongylus odocoilei in thinhorn sheep (Ovis dalli)
(2005-07-18)Discovery of a new host-parasite relationship, Parelaphostrongylus odocoilei in Dall’s sheep (Ovis dalli dalli) in the Canadian North, prompted the first investigation of the geographic distribution, pathogenesis, ecology ... -
