Bibliography of Popular Literature Influenced by the Tall Pines Project, the Ancient Forest Project, and Ancient Forest Exploration & Research P. A. Quinby Research Report No. 22 Ancient Forest Exploration & Research Toronto and Powassan, Ontario www.ancientforest.org/ 1999 1 This report lists the popular publications that have in some way been influenced by the research work carried out by the Tall Pines Project, the Ancient Forest Project and Ancient Forest Exploration & Research. The Tall Pines Project was directed by Dr. Peter Quinby as a research program of the Temagami Wilderness Society from 1987 until 1990. From 1990 to 1991, Dr. Quinby directed the Ancient Forest Project as a program of the Wildlands League and from 1992 to the present, Dr. Quinby has been directing the research carried out by Ancient Forest Exploration & Research.

    Temagami Area Rock Art and Indigenous Routes

    Zawadzka Temagami Area Rock Art 159 Beyond the Sacred: Temagami Area Rock Art and Indigenous Routes Dagmara Zawadzka The rock art of the Temagami area in northeastern Ontario represents one of the largest concentrations of this form of visual expression on the Canadian Shield. Created by Algonquian-speaking peoples, it is an inextricable part of their cultural landscape. An analysis of the distribution of 40 pictograph sites in relation to traditional routes known as nastawgan has revealed that an overwhelming majority are located on these routes, as well as near narrows, portages, or route intersections. Their location seems to point to their role in the navigation of the landscape. It is argued that rock art acted as a wayfinding landmark; as a marker of places linked to travel rituals; and, ultimately, as a sign of human occupation in the landscape. The tangible and intangible resources within which rock art is steeped demonstrate the relationships that exist among people, places, and the cultural landscape, and they point to the importance of this form of visual expression.

    Invading Species Awareness Program for Ontario 2009

    2009/10 Invading Species Awareness Program for Ontario Annual Report for 2009/10 INVADING SPECIES AWARENESS PROGRAM EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Invading Species Awareness Program The Invading Species Awareness Program (ISAP) has been a joint partnership initiative of the O.F.A.H. and the MNR since 1992; focusing on preventing invasive species introductions to Ontario’s forests and waters. In 2009, in collaboration with hundreds of community groups, nongovernment organizations and all levels of government, the ISAP reached hundreds of thousands of Ontarians engaging their participation in prevention. Hundreds of citizen scientists and professional field staff from numerous agencies participated in our monitoring and reporting programs. The ISAP made valuable contributions to early detection and rapid response initiatives for invasive species threatening Ontario’s biodiversity such as Asian carp, kudzu, European water chestnut, and water soldier. 2009 marked the successful completion of a multi‐year provincial effort to train the bait industry to implement aquatic invasive species prevention plans throughout their industry. The ISAP made significant contributions to provincial, national and international initiatives including the Ontario Invasive Plant Council, the U.S. Great Lakes Panel on Aquatic Nuisance Species and the Canadian Aquatic Invasive Species Network, and the development of the bi‐national Lake Superior Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Plan. Partnerships In 2009, the O.F.A.H. and the MNR continued the successful joint delivery of the ISAP, with O.F.A.H. staff working collaboratively with staff from MNR’s Biodiversity Section, as well as numerous district offices around the province. Federally, funding contributions were made from Environment Canada’s Invasive Alien Species Partnership Program, and the Lake Simcoe Clean Up Fund, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and Human Resources Development Canada’s Canada Summer Jobs Program and Eco‐Canada.

    'Turncoats, Opportunists, and Political Whores': Floor Crossers in Ontario

    “‘Turncoats, Opportunists, and Political Whores’: Floor Crossers in Ontario Political History” By Patrick DeRochie 2011-12 Intern Ontario Legislature Internship Programme (OLIP) 1303A Whitney Block Queen’s Park Toronto, Ontario M7A 1A2 Phone: 416-325-0040 [email protected] www.olipinterns.ca www.facebook.com/olipinterns www.twitter.com/olipinterns Paper presented at the 2012 Annual meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association Edmonton, Alberta Friday, June 15th, 2012. Draft: DO NOT CITE 2 Acknowledgements I would like to thank the following people for their support, advice and openness in helping me complete this research paper: Gilles Bisson Sean Conway Steve Gilchrist Henry Jacek Sylvia Jones Rosario Marchese Lynn Morrison Graham Murray David Ramsay Greg Sorbara Lise St-Denis David Warner Graham White 3 INTRODUCTION When the October 2011 Ontario general election saw Premier Dalton McGuinty’s Liberals win a “major minority”, there was speculation at Queen’s Park that a Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) from the Progressive Conservative (PC) Party or New Democratic Party (NDP) would be induced to cross the floor. The Liberals had captured fifty-three of 107 seats; the PCs and NDP, thirty-seven and seventeen, respectively. A Member of one of the opposition parties defecting to join the Liberals would have definitively changed the balance of power in the Legislature. Even with the Speaker coming from the Liberals’ ranks, a floor crossing would give the Liberals a de facto majority and sufficient seats to drive forward their legislative agenda without having to rely on at least one of the opposition parties. A January article in the Toronto Star revealed that the Liberals had quietly made overtures to at least four PC and NDP MPPs since the October election, 1 meaning that a floor crossing was a very real possibility.
  • Mechanism and Kinetics of Chalcopyrite Passivation and Depassivation During Ferric and Microbial Leaching

    Mechanism and Kinetics of Chalcopyrite Passivation and Depassivation During Ferric and Microbial Leaching

    MECHANISM AND KINETICS OF CHALCOPYRITE PASSIVATION AND DEPASSIVATION DURING FERRIC AND MICROBIAL LEACHING By ALAIN FUAMBA TSHILOMBO B.Eng., Faculte Polytechnique, University of Lubumbashi, 1994 M.Sc. , The University of Pretoria, 2000 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY In THE FACULTY OF GRADUATES STUDIES (Department of Materials Engineering) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA December 2004 ABSTRACT Chalcopyrite is known to be recalcitrant to conventional hydrometallurgical and biohydrometallurgical processes. Formation of passive layers on the chalcopyrite surface results in slow and incomplete leaching. The nature of how these passive layers are formed is the subject of much controversy. The most likely explanation is the formation of polysulphide compounds or copper-rich intermediate products on the chalcopyrite surface. The formation of these products depends mainly on temperature and solution potential. Based on these observations, electrochemical techniques were used to study the behaviour of chalcopyrite under a variety of conditions similar to ferric and microbial leaching. Electrochemical techniques have the advantage over other techniques of measuring properties at the solid-liquid interface. Slow chalcopyrite leaching was mainly observed under the following conditions: > low temperature (25°C) and low potential (0.45 to 0.6 V SCE) > high temperature (65°C) and high potential (above 0.6 V SCE) Leaching was accelerated at high temperature (65°C) under mildly oxidizing conditions (0.45 to 0.55 V SCE). The study also indicated that a polarized chalcopyrite surface inhibits ferric reduction and that the presence of pyrite during chalcopyrite leaching can be beneficial. The electrochemical study was validated in leaching tests carried out in a stirred-tank reactor with fine chalcopyrite particles.

    ‘OUR SOCIETY LACKS CONSISTENTLY DEFINED ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE BLACK BEAR’: THE HISTORY OF BLACK BEAR HUNTING AND MANAGEMENT IN ONTARIO, 1912-1987 by MICHAEL COMMITO, B.A. (HONS), M.A. McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2015) Hamilton, Ontario (History) TITLE: ‘Our society lacks consistently defined attitudes towards the black bear’: The History of Black Bear Hunting and Management in Ontario, 1912-1987 AUTHOR: Michael Commito, B.A. (Hons) (Laurentian University), M.A. (Laurentian University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Ken Cruikshank NUMBER OF PAGES: vii, 282 ii ABSTRACT What kind of animal was a black bear? Were black bears primarily pests, pets, furbearers or game animals? Farmers, conservationists, tourists, trappers, and hunters in early twentieth- century Ontario could not agree. Even as the century progressed, ideas about bears remained twisted and there was often very little consensus about what the animal represented. These varying perceptions complicated the efforts of the provincial Department of Game and Fisheries and its successor agencies, the Department of Lands and Forests and the Ministry of Natural Resources, to develop coherent bear management policies. Perceptions about black bears often conflicted and competed with one another and at no one time did they have a single meaning in Ontario. The image of Ontario’s black bears has been continuously negotiated as human values, attitudes, and policies have changed over time. As a result, because of various and often competing perspectives, the province’s bear management program, for most of the twentieth century, was very loose and haphazard because the animal had never been uniformly defined or valued. Examining the history of these ambiguous viewpoints towards the black bear in Ontario provides us with a snapshot of how culture intersects with our natural resources and may pose challenges for management.
