Assessing opportunities and constraints in campus sustainability: The role of paper consumption
Download2010
Clark, M. R., Isaev, N., Davidson, D. J.
This article presents the findings of a case study of paper consumption behavior at the School of Public Health at the University of Alberta. Using methods of social research such as survey, focus groups, and behavioral experimentation, we tested explanations of pro-environmental behavior with...

Assessing the effects of weather conditions on physical activity participation using objective measures
Download2009
Chan, Catherine B., Ryan, Daniel A.
Habitual physical activity is an important determinant of health, yet many people are considered to be inactive. Identification of the obstacles to greater participation is necessary for the development of strategies to overcome those obstacles. The weather has been identified as a perceived...

Assessing the importance of several acoustic properties to the perception of spontaneous speech
Download2018-03-28
Podlubny, Ryan G., Nearey, Terrance M., Kondrak, Grzegorz, Tucker, Benjamin V.
Spoken language manifests itself as change over time in various acoustic dimensions. While it seems clear that acoustic-phonetic information in the speech signal is key to language processing, little is currently known about which specific types of acoustic information are relatively...

Assessing the mating status of male obliquebanded leafrollers Choristoneura rosaceana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) by dissection of male and female moths
Download2003
Borden, J. H., Delury, L. E., Judd, G. J. R., Evenden, M. L.
Abstract: We tested several methods for assessing the mating status of male obliquebanded leafrollers, Choristoneura rosaceana (Harris) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae). In four experiments, we established that the technique developed to determine mating status of male spruce budworms, Choristoneura...

Assessing the Role of High-Frequency Winds and Sea Ice Loss on Arctic Phytoplankton Blooms in an Ice-Ocean-Biogeochemical Model
Download2019-01-01
de la Guardia, L. Castro, Garcia-Quintana, Y., Claret, M., Hu, X., Galbraith, E. D., Myers, Paul G.
The long-term trend of increasing phytoplankton net primary production (NPP) in the Arctic correlates with increasing light penetration due to sea ice loss. However, recent studies suggest that enhanced stormy wind mixing may also play a significant role enhancing NPP. Here, we isolate the role...

Assessment of commercially available pheromone lures for monitoring diamondback moth (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) in canola
Download2010
Abstract: Sex pheromone monitoring lures from five different commercial sources were compared for their attractiveness to male diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella L. (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) in canola, Brassica napus L., fields in western Canada. Lures that had the highest pheromone release...

Assessment of Oxide Descaler Functionality in a Steel Hot Rolling Mill Using Infrared Video Imaging
Download2018-01-01
Wiskel, J.B., Linchieh, A., Henein, H.
A series of infrared temperature videos were taken of the upper surface of hot rolled microalloyed steel skelp immediately following laminar cooling. In addition to validation of the skelp temperature and skelp cooling patterns, local temperature minimums were observed in the infrared images....

Assessment of pre-pregnancy dietary intake with a food frequency questionnaire in Alberta women
Download2015
Berglund, Casey, Ramage, Stephanie M., Harber, Vicki, McCargar, Linda J., Bell, Rhonda C.
Purpose: Pre-pregnancy is an under-examined and potentially important time to optimize dietary intake to support fetal growth and development as well as maternal health. The purpose of the study was to determine the extent to which dietary intake reported by non-pregnant women is similar to...

Assessment of Soil Biological Activity in Northern Aspen Parkland Native and Seeded Pasture Using Bait Lamina
Download2012
Willms, W. D., LaRade, S. E., Bork, E. W.
Many native grasslands in the Aspen Parkland of western Canada have been converted to seeded forages. We used bait lamina to test the hypothesis that this change has altered soil biological activity. Bait lamina removal varied with both vegetation type and soil depth (p=0.03). Bait removal was...
