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...

Assessment of the mechanisms exerting glucose-lowering effects of dried peas in glucose-intolerant rats
Download2012
Jin, Alena, Field, Catherine J., Yee, Homun, Kozicky, Lisa, Morris, Jill, Chan, Catherine B., Bell, Rhonda C., Ha, Christine, Whitlock, Kevin A., Ozga, Jocelyn A.
The present study compared the effects of feeding uncooked pea fractions (embryo v. seed coat) on glucose homeostasis in glucose-intolerant rats and examined potential mechanisms influencing glucose homeostasis. Rats were made glucose intolerant by high-fat feeding, after which diets containing...

Assessment of the Research Learning Needs of the University of Saskatchewan Librarians: A Case Study
Download2012
Shiri, Ali , Schrader, Alvin , Williamson, Vicki
As academic librarians with faculty status increasingly embrace research engagement as a core value and requirement, one of the little-studied questions is the extent to which they possess the requisite knowledge and skills to conduct high-quality research and scholarship and what further...

Ullah, Mohammad, Bell, Jeff, Vaezi, Mahdi, Kumar, Amit
Alberta’s food processing industry is the second largest food waste producer after the household sector. Most of the waste currently produced from the food processing industry is landfilled. Decomposing landfill waste, moreover, emits greenhouse gases (GHG), which contribute to global warming. In...

Assessment of Variation in the Alberta Context Tool: The Contribution of Unit Level Contextual Factors and Specialty in Canadian Pediatric Acute Care Settings
Download2011
Stevens, B., Squires, J.E., Hutchinson, A., Midodzi, W.K., Cummings, G.G., Kang, S.H., Scott, S., Estabrooks, C.A.
Background: There are few validated measures of organizational context and none that we located are parsimonious and address modifiable characteristics of context. The Alberta Context Tool (ACT) was developed to meet this need. The instrument assesses 8 dimensions of context, which comprise 10...

Assisted migration to address climate change: recommendations for aspen reforestation in western Canada
Download2011
Mbogga, M. S., Chen, P., Gray, L. K., Gylander, T., Hamann, A.
Abstract: Human-aided movement of species populations in large-scale reforestation programs could be a potent and cost-effective climate change adaptation strategy. Such large-scale management interventions, however, tend to entail the risks of unintended consequences, and we propose that three...
