Principal Investigator: Bailey, Robert C.
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To sample the organisms living on rock surfaces (benthic invertebrates) in at least 25 streams fo the Mackenzie Delta area. The number of species present and their relative abundance will be estimated and correlated with environmental factors such as the stream size and flow rate. Habitat data will also be collected at each site....

Principal Investigator: Pearce, Cheryl M.
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To analyze the environmental processes that control plant distribution and succession on shorelines of the Mackenzie Delta. Specific objectives of the research are to examine (1) the colonization and establishment on exposed mudflats and other newly-available sites, (2) the responses of the shoreline plants to fluctuations in the biophysical environment, and (3) the chemical and physical properti...

Principal Investigator: Barreto, Luis
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: A preliminary study will be undertaken to confirm the safety and the immunogenicity of the Connaught conjugate vaccine for native populations of the NWT (Phase I). This will be determined by the frequency and severity of adverse responses to three doses of the vaccine by a sample of infants 2-3 months of age drawn from Inuit and Dene populations. Parental consent will be obtained for all those in...

Principal Investigator: Marvin, LuDean
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To re-define the classification of the Potentilla nivea L. complex using methods based on modern plant systematics. Some of the techniques and methods to be used will include chromosome counts, pollen and seed viability tests, guard cell measurements, SEM of pollin exine variations, flavonoid chemistry and numerical analyses. Attempts will be made to determine if correlations exist between morph...

Principal Investigator: Macdonald, R.W.
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To continue the study and come to understand natural hydrocarbon distributions and primary productivity in the oil exploration zone of the Mackenzie Estuary. To predict the impact of projected industrial discharges of hydrocarbons, planned or accidental, by studying and model processes governing natural distributions of the same compounds....

Principal Investigator: Godel, John
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To carry our research in the Inuvik area on northern infant nutrition. To study the vitamin, mineral and nutritional status of women during pregnancy and breast-feeding, to relate these findings to both the vitamin status of their infants at birth and to the immunologic and clinical status of the infants at six weeks of age....

Principal Investigator: Bresnahan, Barb R.
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To interview women regarding their experiences and perceptions of the participation of women in the political process and leadership roles in the Northwest Territories, with the hope of discovering why so many women become politically active in the north....

Principal Investigator: Mathias, Richard G.
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To study the effectiveness of two treatment protocols in controlling sexually transmitted diseases in communities in the N.W.T. The treatments are efficacious in individuals but it is not known which one will be better for overall community reduction in the numbers of cases of sexually transmitted disease....
