Fecal Pellet Counts as a Technique for Monitoring an Alpine-Dwelling Social Rodent, the Hoary Marmot (Marmota caligata)
Download2004
Karels, T. J., Koppel, L., Hik, D. S.
We evaluated fecal pellet counts as an index of hoary marmot (Marmota caligata) social group size in order to develop a simple, inexpensive method for monitoring population change of a widely distributed, but poorly studied alpine mammal. Fecal pellet counts were conducted in three separate...

Fermentation of Air Currents Assisted Particle Separation (ACAPS) by-product streams from barley for bioethanol production
DownloadFall 2019
To offset biofuel production costs, a biorefining approach was employed that enables the co-production of high-value products. Barley starch concentrate is a by-product generated during isolation of β-Glucan from barley grains via the Air Currents Assisted Particle Separation (ACAPS)...

Genetic mapping and physiological characterization of water-use efficiency in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) on the Canadian Prairies
DownloadFall 2011
Temporal or seasonal water deficit is one of the major factors limiting crop yield on the Canadian Prairies. Empirical knowledge suggests that carbon isotope discrimination (Δ13C), through its negative relationship with water-use efficiency (WUE), is a good index for selecting crop varieties...

Genetic structure, virulence and fungicide sensitivity of Pyrenophora teres f. teres and P. teres f. maculata populations from western Canada
DownloadSpring 2017
The fungi Pyrenophora teres f. teres (Ptt) and P. teres f. maculata (Ptm) cause net form net blotch (NFNB) and spot form net blotch (SFNB) of barley, respectively. The genetic structure of a collection of 128 Ptt and 92 Ptm isolates, representing fungal populations from western Canada, was...

Many geological deposits contain nonlinear anisotropic features such as veins, channels, folds or local changes in orientation; numerical property modeling must account for these features to be reliable and predictive. This work incorporates locally varying anisotropy into inverse distance...

Implementation and Evaluation of Spatiotemporal Prediction Algorithms and Prediction of Spatially Distributed Greenhouse Gas Inventories
DownloadFall 2011
Growing environmental concerns require monitoring and modelling of greenhouse gases. These modelling efforts require processing of massive datasets in a timely fashion. This, in turn, can lead to feasibility problems when estimating values of missing data points. This thesis examines and compares...

SSHRC Awarded IG 2018: Consumption (purchases) is considered one of the best metrics of individual and household well-being. Economists typically assume households elect to smooth their consumption, so as to insure against shocks such as disability or unemployment. The current state-of-the-art...

Incorporating the effects of complex dynamic interactions in the construction decision making process
DownloadFall 2011
Construction projects involve complex interactions among operational components such as labour, materials and equipment and context or organizational components such as worker morale and organizational policies. Interactions among different components of construction projects form byzantine...

In barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) are induced by anaerobiosis in both aleurone layers and roots. Under aerobic conditions, developing seeds of cv Himalaya accumulate ADH activity, which survives seed drying and rehydration. This activity...

Spring 2023
Switchable hydrophilicity solvents (SHSs) are solvents defined by their ability to switch from their hydrophobic form to a hydrophilic form when put in contact with an acidic trigger such as CO2. As a consequence, SHSs qualify as promising alternatives to volatile organic compounds during the...
