Groups of second-growth Douglas-fir (Mirb.) Franco were excavated
in plots of two to six trees on two sites in the vicinity of Cowichan
Lake, Vancouver Is., British Columbia. Eleven excavation plots provided
36 trees which could be studied in pairs (a total of 50 pairs) in order
to ascertain the...
The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine...
The major historical studies that have examined American
biology have emphasized the development of experimental biology at
the end of the nineteenth century. In this characterization, the
descriptive branch of biology has often been treated as less than
important and, in several cases, as a hindrance in the application
of...
This study was concerned with the flow of a magnetic self-propelled
ferrohydrodynamic fluid in a horizontal circular tube subjected
to axially varying temperature and magnetic field. The first
phase of the study involved the analytical solution to the governing
equations for the velocity and temperature profiles within the fully
developed...
The complexity of forest management has increased with the scope of resources of concern and the level of scrutiny from stakeholders. The design and use of specialized computer software, often referred to as “decision support systems” (DSS), is one method for helping managers deal with this complexity. DSS have proven...

This project aims to determine if the relationship between shopping behavior and the tempo of in-store music is impacted by shoppers’ cultural orientation. Companies that expand their business overseas need to better understand not only the demographics of the market they are entering into, but also the cultural beliefs and...
Peakflow frequency analysis is used in forest hydrology for designing stream crossing structures such as culverts and bridges. The traditional approach to frequency analysis is based on the assumption that the observed sample of peakflows represents a homogeneous population. It is not clear if using the "homogeneous" population of the...
Animals can be naturally exposed simultaneously to multiple stressors. These include habitat changes, contaminants, diseases, invasive species, parasitism, and predation. Exposure to various combinations of biotic and abiotic stressors may induce behavioral changes that affect the way an individual interacts within its environment.Like other groups of organisms, amphibians are exposed...
