The scent glands of Opiliones: a review of their function.
(Smithsonian Institution Press, 1986)Opilionids are unique among the arachnids in that they possess a pair of glands that open dorsally near the lateral edge of the prosoma. These glands are variously called scent, odoriferous, repugnatory, or stink glands ... -
The Science Gap in Canada: A Post-Secondary Perspective
(Canadian Journal of Educational Administration and Policy, 2009-04-04)Despite having its students score among the top in the world in mathematics and science, the level of science literacy and participation in science-related fields in Canada is relatively low. In the context of the economic ... -
Seeking the Recipe for Success in Distance Education: Lessons from a Nutrition Course
(2006)There is much debate as to how best to exploit the potential of the internet when designing distance education (DE) courses; the "formula for success" is still to be determined. In this Darwinian struggle for "market share" ... -
Selective predation in a euryphagous invertebrate predator, Pardosa vancouveri (Arachnida, Araneae)
(Canadian Entomologist, 1982)Selective predation (i.e., non-random feeding) was studied in a laboratory system that allowed individual lycosid spiders, Pardosa vancouveri, to feed on prey populations consisting of one or two kinds of insects. Various ... -
Selective predation in a polyphagous invertebrate predator, Pardosa vancouveri (Arachnida, Araneae)
(Simon Fraser University, 1979)Selective predation (i.e., non-random feeding) was studied in a laboratory system that allowed individual lycosid spiders, Pardosa vancouveri. to feed on prey populations consisting of one or two kinds of insects. Various ... -
Self-paced and social
(AACE, 2012-11-14)Traditionally, much institutional self-paced distance learning has been a largely individual activity, offering limited opportunities for teacher-student interaction and almost none for student-student interaction. This ... -
Selling Health in a Bottle: How Consumers are being Ripped Off

Serum vitamins A and E, beta-carotene, and selenium in patients with breast cancer.
(Journal of the American College of Nutrition, 1989)A total of 89 subjects including 30 breast cancer patients' with distal metastases, 29 patients with benign breast disease, and 30 healthy subjects were studied. Serum samples from these subjects were obtained from ... -
Simplicity - the key to fruitful medical research
(Medical Hypotheses, 1985)Medical research is here divided -into two broad categories. The great majority of research is "complex" and includes all studies of intricate body mechanisms. A minority of research is "simple" and deals mainly ... -
Simultaneous ground and satellite observations of an isolated proton arc at subauroral latitudes
(Journal of Geophysical Research, 2007)We observed an isolated proton arc at the Athabasca station MLAT: 62◦N) in Canada on 5 September, 2005, using a ground-based allsky imager at wavelengths of 557.7 nm, 630.0 nm, and 486.1 nm (Hβ). This arc is similar to ... -
Social Interaction in Self-paced Distance Education.
(Open Praxis, 2015)In this paper we present a case study of a self-paced university course that was originally designed to support independent, self-paced study at distance. We developed a social media intervention, in design-based research ... -

Space Physics: Aurora Borealis
(2007-08-13)Cluster data was used to examine the magnetospheric boundary and more particularly the tail. Harris sheet fits were done in a dynamic fashion that allows flapping to be quantified. -
STEP Forward 2007-2007 Space Science Enhancement Proposal to CSA
(2006-05-19)The most effective way to exploit Canada’s ideal position for auroral zone science is to emplace instruments with sufficient density for meaningful studies. Magnetometers are useful instruments for this since their cost ... -
Strategies of subcellular fractionation suitable for analysis of peroxisomes and microperoxisomes of animal tissues.
(International Journal of Biochemistry, 1983)Strategies of subcellular fractionation are reviewed from the perspective of their utility in the analysis of peroxisomes. The considerable potential inherant in the method of rate dependent banding In zonal rotors is ... -
Student and Faculty Outcomes of Undergraduate Science Research Projects by Geographically Dispersed Students
(International Review of Research in Open and Distance Education, 2013-12)Senior undergraduate research projects are important components of most undergraduate science degrees. The delivery of such projects in a distance education format is challenging. Athabasca University (AU) science project ... -
Subcellular localization of monoglyceride acyltransferase, xanthine oxidation, NADP: isocitrate dehydrogenase and alkaline phosphatase in the mucosa of the guinea-pig small intestine.
(Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology, 1980)1. Rate dependent and isopycnic banding in a zonal rotor were used to analyse the subcellular sites of enzymes in homogenates of guinea-pig small intestinal mucosa. 2, The results demonstrate the following localizations: ... -
Survey of nutrition knowledge of Canadian physicians
(Journal of the American College of Nutrition, 1999)Objectives: Previous reports have indicated that physicians generally have little training in nutrition and a poor knowledge of the subject. A survey was carried out to determine the nutrition knowledge of physicians working ... -
