Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleLevels of Metals and Microbial Biomass in Cobalt Coleman Mine Tailings (Canada) Three Decades after Land ReclamationKabwe Nkongolo, Graeme Spiers et al.Investigations of restored metal contaminated tailings in Canada with regard to their long-term ability to sustain plant and associated microbiological populations are limited. The specific objectives of the present study were to assess (1) The current levels of total and bioavailable metals and (2) Microbial biomass in Cobalt Coleman mine tailings reclaimed in 1990. The level of microbial biomass was … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 20 Mar 2023 · 6,004 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Statistical Comparative Study of the Working Poor in Japan and CanadaMasatoshi MurakamiProblem statement: Recently in Japan, there has been an increase in the group which is termed the ‘Working Poor’. However, the group’s size and configuration remains unknown. Approach: The purpose of this study is to compare the working poor in Canada and Japan using microdata. First, the definition and method of estimation of the working poor provided by (Iwai and … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 9 Apr 2011 · 6,976 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCOMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF INTER SIMPLE SEQUENCE REPEATS AND SIMPLE SEQUENCE REPEATS MARKERS: GENETIC ANALYSIS OF DESCHAMPSIA CESPITOSA POPULATIONS GROWING IN METAL CONTAMINATED REGIONS IN CANADAK.K. Nkongolo, S. Gervais, P. Michael, Y. ZhouComparative studies conducted on the genetic variation of metal-tolerant populations and their non-metal-tolerant counterparts have been performed on numerous species using isozyme markers. Analysis of genetic differences among plant populations growing in heavy metal-contaminated and uncontaminated regions are limited. The main objectives of the present study were to compare ISSR and microsatellite markers in assessing genetic variation in D. cespitosa … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 8 Apr 2014 · 7,286 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIdentification of Molecular Markers Differentiating Betula papyrifera and B. pumila Populations from Northern Ontario (Canada)Nastaran Moarefi, Paul Michael, Peter Beckett, Kabwe NkongoloBetula is a polyploid and highly polymorphic genus with several species known to hybridize very readily. This high level of introgression has resulted in hybrid populations where different species are sympatric. The main objectives of the present study were to identify putative hybrids between B. papyrifera and B. pumila in the Greater Sudbury Region (Northern Ontario) and to develop ISSR … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 5 · 30 Nov 2018 · 8,057 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleReassessment of Molecular Variation in Isolated Populations of Deschampsia cespitosa from Metal Contaminated Regions in Northern Ontario (Canada) after 17 Years of Potential Genetic RecombinationSabrina Rainville, Peter Beckett, Kabwe NkongoloThe effects of ore extraction and processing procedures in the Greater Sudbury and Cobalt regions have been long-lasting. The objective of this study is to determine the current level of genetic variation in Deschampsia cespitosa populations from metal contaminated and uncontaminated sites in samples collected in Northern Ontario in 2016 after 17 years of potential genetic recombination since the last … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 13 Jul 2017 · 7,044 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHEAVY METAL ANALYSIS IN RED OAK (QUERCUS RUBRA) POPULATIONS FROM A MINING REGION IN NORTHERN ONTARIO (CANADA): EFFECT OF SOIL LIMING AND ANALYSIS OF GENETIC VARIATIONAnh Tran, K. K. Nkongolo, M. Mehes-Smith et al.Understanding the dynamic of metals in soil and plants and population diversity in Northern Ontario is essential in determining progress toward ecosystem sustainability in reclaimed sites. The objectives of the present study were to assess the levels of metal content in soils and their accumulation in red oak plants from limed and unlimed sites. Genetic variation in red oak populations … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 25 Jun 2014 · 7,732 accessesView PDFCite
