Geochemistry and paragenesis of magnetite bearing gabbros from the Mine Block Intrusion at Lac des Iles Mine, Northern Ontario
(2024)The Mine Block Intrusion (MBI) is a 3 km by 1.5 km tear-shaped mafic complex that was emplaced along with other mafic-ultramafic plutonic rocks of the South Lac des Iles Complex (LDIC) between 2,699 and 2,686 Ma in the ... -
Sustainable forest management: the potential impacts of underutilization in Ontario Crown forests
(2024)Ontario has in recent history harvested a volume in cubic meters less than the volume available to harvest as dictated by the Average Allowable Cut (AAC). While harvesting more than the AAC dictates is unsustainable and ... -
A comparative study of regional and cover type influences on carbon content in above-ground woody live biomass
(2024)This thesis provides an analysis of the influence of forest region, cover type, and species composition on carbon storage in above-ground woody biomass across boreal and Great Lakes-St. Lawrence (GLSL) regions. The plot ... -
Exploring name-based bug detection in Python
(2024)Names of source code elements provide useful contextual information about the code and development tasks. Prior studies leverage the similarity between the names of arguments and method parameters to detect bugs that are ... -
Relating eDNA concentrations to Brook Trout abundance and biomass across varying spatial scales in Northern Ontario streams
(2024)Environmental DNA (eDNA) detection has been proposed as a potential method for determining the presence, abundance, and biomass of species within aquatic habitats. However, it is unclear what spatial scale(s) eDNA ... -
Impacts of projected future temperature rise on the hydrology of Neebing River, Ontario
(2024)The projected future temperature rise is likely to change the Neebing River's hydrology over the following decades. The changing hydrological patterns are expected to cause increased hydrological extremes in the City of ... -
Advancing precision agronomy for minimizing production risk
(2024)Farming in Northwestern Ontario faces unique challenges, including a shorter growing season, severe weather conditions, and limited infrastructure and support services. Despite these obstacles, the region holds great ... -
Enhancing en-route electric vehicle charging services with AI integration: a collaborative fog-based strategy for optimizing sustainable transportation
(2024)In the emergence of greener transportation, Electric Vehicles (EVs) play an important role, expected to outnumber conventional vehicles in the near future. However, the installation of Fixed Charging Stations (FCSs) is ... -
Ontario youth mental health literacy and social determinants
(2024)Mental health literacy includes: recognizing mental health problems and illnesses; knowing how to locate accurate mental health information and professional help; risk factors and causes of mental health problems or ... -
Insights into subtype selectivity of aurora kinase ligands from molecular dynamics simulation
(2024)Aurora kinases are phosphotransferase enzymes that play essential roles in cell division. There are three members of Aurora kinases in mammalian cells: Aurora A, Aurora B and Aurora C. The overexpression of Aurora kinases ... -
Dynamic stability of pile foundations under seismic excitations with two frequencies
(2024)In civil engineering, deep foundation systems, specifically pile foundations, play a critical role in transferring the structural loads of heavy constructions from superstructures to deeper layers of soil. The consequences ... -
Plant diversity effects on soil Collembola in boreal forest
(2024)Collembola are one of the most abundant soil fauna in terrestrial ecosystems. They play essential roles in ecosystem processes like litter decomposition. Ongoing biodiversity loss across taxa harms the stability and ... -
The experiences of bilingual Chinese international students studying in english at a small Canadian university
(2024)This study explores the experiences of ten Chinese students learning in English at a small Canadian university using Linguistic Portrait Silhouettes and semi-structured interviews in a phenomenologically-influenced case ... -
Design of a polarization reconfigurable and frequency tunable patch antenna system on a magnetic substrate
(2024)Modern radio frequency (RF) and microwave components are continuously evolving to meet the demands of new wireless technologies. One such demand is the ability of these components to be agile and smart. Thus, the rationale ... -
Indirect minimization of common-mode voltage with finite control-set model predictive control in a five-level inverter
(2024)Multilevel inverters (MLIs) are counted as the crucial part of the electric drive systems (EDSs) primarily due to their ability to handle higher operating powers and voltages, to provide high-quality output waveform, and ... -
Literature instruction: using a critical and social lens
(2024)Social change depends on the actions of the citizens of tomorrow. Without creating changes to the curriculum and to the perspectives from which we teach, the likelihood of producing social change is lessened. The main ... -
Geochemistry and mineralizaton of the Lundmark Akow area, North Caribou Greenstone belt, Ontario
(2024)The Lundmark Akow area is located in the south-central porƟon of the South Rim assemblage of the North Caribou Greenstone Belt. The mineralizaƟon consists of several base metal-bearing massive sulphide horizons hosted ... -
Digital twin-assisted multi-layer network: resource optimization for low-latency and energy-efficiency
(2024)The sixth-generation (6G) wireless networks are expected to provide ubiquitous connectivity, high data rate, low latency, energy efficiency, and edge intelligence for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. However, effective ... -
Impact of hardware impairments on the physical layer security of cell-free massive MIMO
(2024)The development of new technologies and applications such as virtual reality, ultra-highdefinition video conferencing, and Internet of Things (IoT) has caused a substantial increase in the demand for higher data rate in ... -
Weaving perspectives in environmental justice and socio-spatial mapping tools: using key-informant interviews and an arts-integrated approach
(2024)Environmental justice (EJ) is an ever-evolving term with multiple definitions, applications, and practices across geographies and disciplines. With a strong history in the United States, it is a growing field in Canada ...
