The roles of temperature and host plant interactions in larval development and population ecology of Parnassius smintheus Doubleday, the Rocky Mountain Apollo butterfly
DownloadFall 2011
Alpine environments are harsh and unpredictable. Exogenous factors such as weather might therefore be expected to dominate processes affecting population dynamics of alpine organisms, relative to endogenous factors including plant-animal interactions. The alpine butterfly Parnassius smintheus...

The GeoStudio 2007 convection module a finite element program was used to examine convection in porous embankments and waste rock piles and compared to literature numerical and experimental examples by Goering and Kumar (1996) and Goering (2000) and field data from Diavik waste rock test piles. ...

Tapeworm (Hymenolepis diminuta) infection in flour beetles (Tribolium confusum): does it cause a trade-off between host fecundity and egg size?
Download2009
Inter- and intra-specific comparisons commonly reveal an inverse relationship between fecundity and offspring size. Many animals also vary egg size in response to environmental conditions. Infection of flour beetles Tribolium confusum Jaquelin Du Val, 1868 with the rat tapeworm Hymenolepis...

Sleep and children with cerebral palsy: A review of current evidence and environmental non-pharmacological interventions
Download2015
Brown, Cary A. , Roduta Roberts, Mary, Dutt, Risha
Between 23%–46% of children with cerebral palsy experience sleep problems. Many of the sensory-motor and cognitive features of cerebral palsy (such as immobility, pain, and seizures) act as predisposing factors for sleep problems in this population. This paper presents the background related to...

This thesis focuses on conducting productivity analysis for sewer mainline CCTV inspection through two phases: 1) developing the standard time for CCTV inspection and analyzing the effect of the weather condition and ambient temperature on its productivity, and 2) reviewing the CCTV process...

Potential impact of climate change to the future climate and streamflow of the Mackenzie River Basin
DownloadFall 2016
The Mackenzie River provides a critical corridor for Canada’s Arctic transportation network and the Mackenzie River Basin (MRB), the largest river basin of Canada, has been subjected to the impact of climate change. In this study, we have investigated the potential impacts of climate change on...

The exposure of DNA to ultraviolet (UV) radiation causes sequence‐dependent damage. Thus, there is a need for an analytical technique that can detect damage in large numbers of DNA sequences simultaneously. In this study, we have designed an assay for UVC‐induced DNA damage in multiple...

Moisture and temperature effects on survival and infectivity of first-stage larvae of Parelaphostrongylus odocoilei and P. tenuis (Nematoda: Metastrongyloidea).
Download1984
The survival of first-stage larvae (LI) of Parelaphostrongyluosd ocoilei and P. tenuis (Nematoda: Metastrongyloidea) and their infectivity to the snail Triodopsism ultilineata were determined experimentally in a variety of temperature and moisture conditions. Survival of larvae of P. odocoilei...

Desai, A., Grant, R.F., Sulman, B.
Responses of wetland productivity to changes in water table depth (WTD) are controlled by complex interactions among several soil and plant processes, and hence are site-specific rather than general in nature. Hydrological controls on wetland productivity were studied by representing these...
