R-C ACTIVE BANDPASS FILTERS
(1962-10-24)The design of an R-C active bandpass filter is discussed. The filter exhibits double "humping" effects similar to these of two tightly coupled identically tuned parallel L-C circuits. The degree of humping can be controlled ... -
R. M. 45 : the social history of a rural municipality
(1946)This thesis was designed as an exploratory work to discover what types of materials were available for the writing of local histories in Saskatchewan. The Rural Municipality of Mankota, No. 45, was a test area. The sources ... -
The rabbit as an animal model for the study of ovulation-inducing factor
(2011-09-15)Ovulation–inducing factor (OIF) is a seminal plasma protein that has been found in the ejaculate of different species. Evidence suggests that OIF and its function may be conserved among species. Our general objective was ... -
Rabbit Lake
(2014-09-23)Rabbit Lake explores the concerns of citizens who testified at hearings held by the Rabbit Lake Uranium Mine Environmental Assessment Panel throughout Saskatchewan in 1993. The poems that form my thesis are both lyrical ... -
Ractopamine hydrochloride and the environmental sustainability of pork production
(2009)These experiments were conducted to determine if ractopamine hydrochloride (RAC) could improve nutrient utilization and decrease water use in hog operations. The growth experiment utilized a comparative slaughter technique ... -
RAD5a and REV3 Function in Two Alternative Pathways of DNA Damage Tolerance in Arabidopsis
(2013-02-25)DNA-damage tolerance (DDT) in yeast is composed of two parallel pathways and mediated by sequential ubiquitination of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). While monoubiquitination of PCNA promotes translesion synthesis ... -
Radar and satellite characterization of the ionosphere under strong electric field conditions
(2018-04-30)It is now well established that strong electric fields can distort high-latitude ion velocity distributions to the point that this affects Incoherent Scatter Radar (ISR) observations, and therefore the ion and electron ... -
Radial growth patterns of jack pine in relation to climate, moisture availability, and dwarf mistletoe infection in the Boreal Plains Ecozone of Saskatchewan, Canada
(2016-09-21)Drought stress is increasing as a result of climate change, and is thought to be driving episodes of tree mortality that have been observed in every forested region on Earth. In the western boreal forest, potential ... -
Radiation and snowmelt dynamics in mountain forests
(2011-03)Utilising extensive field observations and physically-based simulations of forest-snow processes, the impacts of needleleaf forest-cover on radiation and snowmelt dynamics were investigated in an eastern Rocky Mountain ... -
The radiation chemistry of aqueous ferrous sulphate solutions
(1951)The passage of particles such as alpha particles, electrons, and protons, or electromagnetic radiations in the form of X-rays or gamma rays, through a medium such as air or water, causes ionization in the medium by interaction ... -
Radiation induced defects in quartz and applications to the Arrow uranium deposit in the Athabasca basin, Saskatchewan
(2017-01-12)This thesis presents the results of a combined electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and cathodoluminescence (CL) study of quartz from the Arrow uranium deposit and its surrounding areas in the southwest margin of the ... -
Radical chemist : the politics and natural philosophy of Thomas Beddoes
(2011-06)In this thesis, I examine the radical political views and activism of Thomas Beddoes, a late eighteenth century chemist and physician. A multifaceted man, Beddoes corresponded with many of Britain’s leading industrial and ... -
Radio frequency (RF) assisted disinfestation of red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum) in stored canola seeds (Brassica napus L.)
(2017-01-27)To control the insect pests in stored grains, conventional methods (fumigation, controlled atmosphere, hot and cold air, and ionizing radiation) have been applied, however those methods have major drawbacks (remaining toxic ... -
Radiosensitizing glioblastoma in a rat model using l-buthionine-sr-sulfoximine (BSO)
(2008-04-21)Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive and most common primary brain tumor in adults accounting for 50-60% of primary brain tumors. The prognosis for patients with GBM remains poor and treatment is mainly ... -
The Rael world : narratives of the Raelian movement
(2005-09-21)In December of 2002, an organization called Clonaid released the news that the first human clone had been born. This company is the offspring of an emerging religious movement, the Raelian movement. Whether the story is ... -
Raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFO) biosynthesis in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) seeds
(2014-09-23)To increase the global acceptability of chickpea by improving its nutritional quality, seed RFO (Raffinose Family Oligosaccharides) concentration needs to be reduced without affecting their role during seed development and ... -
RAGE-DEPENDENT SENSITIZATION OF THORACIC SENSORY NEURONS DURING INFLAMMATORY CONDITIONS
(2016-12-19)Various airway inflammatory diseases progress as a result of chronic inflammation, specifically neurogenic inflammation. One factor known to be involved in this is RAGE. This work has established RAGE as a key mediator in ... -
Raising Juvenile Delinquents: The Development of Saskatchewan's Child Welfare Laws, 1905-1930
(2003-04)Hidden stories of child abuse and child neglect haunt Saskatchewan's past. The inability of authorities to effectively and sympathetically help children in need of protection is also part of the province's past. Between ... -
