The second in a series of Atmospheric Environment Service field studies in the Athabasca Oil Sands area was carried out during 3-13 February 1977. The objectives of the study were the same as those of the March 1976 study, namely to obtain information on the meteorology of the area and/or the...

A climatological air quality dispersion was developed which provides more powerful analyses capabilities than are avaiIable in traditional COM-type models. The model incorporates a time series approach to satisfy identified user needs. The three components of the model are: the time series file...

One oil extraction plant (GCOS) has been in operation for several years, the go-ahead has just been given for a second plant (Syncrude), a third (Shell) has an application pending, and the current energy crises may well accelerate the rate at which additional plants go into production during the...

Abstract: Field experiments have been designed to account for spatial Structures since the inception of randomized complete block designs by R. A. Fisher. In recent years, our understanding of spatial structures led to refinements in the design and analysis of field experiments in the face of...

This study tests how different messengers - scientists, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and newspapers - influence consumer behaviour. We conducted framed field experiments to compare the effects of these messengers on consumers’ monetary bids on different items produced with...

Paszkowski, C. A., Tonn, W. M., Holopainen, I. J.

Detecting mechanisms that structure ecological communities often requires investigations at appropriate spatial and temporal scales. A 15-mo, whole-lake experiment revealed direct and indirect mechanisms by which a fish predator structured its prey population, primarily by affecting recruitment...
