The origin of [Fe II] emission in NGC 4151
(2002-03)The centre of NGC 4151 has been observed in the J-band with the SMIRFS integral field unit (IFU) on the UK Infrared Telescope. A map of [Fe II] emission is derived, and compared with the distributions of the optical narrow ... -
Origin of Foliation in the Barrington Passage Pluton
(1991-04-15)New studies provide insight into the processes producing the penetrative foliation observed in the Barrington Passage Pluton (BPP). Preferred alignment of primary minerals, imbrication of feldspars, preferred alignment of ... -
Origin of lapse rate changes in the upper tropical troposphere
(American Meteorological Society, 2002)Vertical motions in clouds arise from a variety of thermodynamic processes, including latent heat release, evaporative cooling, melting, and cloud radiative heating. In the Tropics, the net upward vertical mass flux from ... -
Ortho-semantic learning of novel words: An event-related potential study of grade 3 children
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2024)Introduction: As children become independent readers, they regularly encounter new words whose meanings they must infer from context, and whose spellings must be learned for future recognition. The self-teaching hypothesis ... -
Otolith elemental composition and adult tagging reveal spawning site fidelity and estuarine dependency in rainbow smelt
(2008)Observations of homing and straying in marine organisms based on traditional Eulerian approaches may fail to resolve dispersal kernels or be unable to differentiate homing from invariant local residency, The roles of ... -

Overestimating Fish Counts by Non-Instantaneous Visual Censuses: Consequences for Population and Community Descriptions
(2010-07)Background: Increasingly, underwater visual censuses (UVC) are used to assess fish populations. Several studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of protected areas for increasing fish abundance or provided insight into ... -
Overview of marine protected areas in the eastern Canadian Arctic and their ability to mitigate current and future threats
(2018-12)The Arctic marine environment is defined by a number of ecological, cultural, and social dimensions, including endemic organisms, rare environmental features (e.g. polynyas), and Inuit social and cultural practices. Marine ... -
Oxygen transport in egg masses of the amphibians Rana sylvatica and Ambystoma maculatum: Convection, diffusion and oxygen production by algae
(1994)Many amphibians lay their eggs in gelatinous masses up to 10-20 cm in diameter, posing problems for diffusive oxygen delivery. Oxygen may also be provided by water convection between eggs or by oxygen production by endogenous ... -

Pacific Salmon in Hot Water: Applying Aerobic Scope Models and Biotelemetry to Predict the Success of Spawning Migrations
(University of Chicago Press, P.O. Box 37005 Chicago IL 60637 USA, [mailto:help@press.uchicago.edu], [URL:http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/], 2008-12)Concern over global climate change is widespread, but quantifying relationships between temperature change and animal fitness has been a challenge for scientists. Our approach to this challenge was to study migratory ... -
“Pain is not over when the needle ends”: A review and preliminary model of acute pain memory development in childhood
(Future Medicine Ltd, 2012)Over the past several decades, the field of pediatric pain has made impressive advances in our understanding of the pain experience of the developing child, as well as the devastating impact of inadequately managed pain ... -
Paleo-sea ice conditions of the Amundsen Gulf, Canadian Arctic Archipelago: Implications from the foraminiferal record of the last 200 years
(2008-03)Four boxcores were collected as part of the Canadian Arctic Exchange Shelf Study (CASES) in the Amundsen Gulf at water depths of 59 m to 600 m. Data from these cores help to develop a record of changes in the oceanographic ... -
Paleoceanographic Reconstruction of the Inner Scotian Shelf During the Younger Dryas: A Benthic Foramineral Study
(1994-03-15)Examination of foraminifera from piston core 91-018-53P permits a paleoceanographic reconstruction of the Inner Scotian Shelf, with emphasis on the Younger Dryas cold period. A minimum in the total number of foraminifera ...
