Evaluation of capture-recapture estimators using a cyclic snowshoe hare population
Many theoretical capture-recapture estimation models have been introduced into applied field ecology in the last twenty years, but only a few of these models have been tested in field situations. The objective of this thesis was to evaluate capture-recapture estimators when applied to a cyclic …

Stereological Analysis of Oligodendrocyte Progenitor Cells In the Adult Mouse Brain
The main goal of this study was to further explore the hypothesis that experience-dependent neural network activity and neurotransmission can modulate adult OPC proliferation and differentiation. More specifically, we used stereology to establish whether extensive reference memory training and …

Autism, new music technologies and cognition
Central coherence accounts of autism have shown dysfunction in the processing of local versus global information that may be the source of symptoms in social behavior, communication and repetitive behavior. An application was developed to measure cognitive abilities in central coherence tasks as …

Music, mind and health : how community change, diagnosis, and neuro-rehabilitation can be targeted during creative tasks.
As a culture, we have the capacity to lead creative lives. Part of that capacity lies in how something like music can touch on just about every aspect of human thinking and experience. If music is such a pervasive phenomenon, what does it mean for the way we consider our lives in health? There are …

2-Pyranones as Suicide Inhibitors for Alpha-Chymotrypsin: I. A Structure-Activity Study of the 6-Halo-2-Pyranones. Ii. 5-Halomethyl-2-Pyranones as Inhibitors of Chymotrypsin
A structure-activity study was done on a series of 6-halo-2-pyranones as suicide inhibitors of chymotrypsin. In the 6-chloro-2-pyranone series, substitution in the 3- position of the pyrone by either ethyl or n-butyl produced poor binding relative to 3-benzyl-6-chloro-2-pyranone, and no …

Decadal trends in atmospheric organic aerosol :
Organic aerosol (OA) makes up a substantial fraction of atmospheric particulate matter, yet its sources and controlling factors - and thus its impacts on climate and human health - are not well understood. Recently-developed analytical techniques have provided new insight into OA chemistry, but …
