The goal of top-k ranking is to rank individuals so that the best k of them can be determined. Depending on the application domain, an individual can be a person, a product, an event, or just a collection of data or information for which an ordering makes sense. In the context of databases, top-k...

Topsoil Handling During Pipeline Construction in Potentially Arable Forested Luvisols of Northwest Alberta
Download1999
Patterson, T.J., Fedkenheuer, A.W., Faye, R.G., Finlayson, N.M., Luther, S.M.
The objective of this study was to evaluate several pipeline topsoil stripping depths to determine whether they result in land capability equivalent to that of adjacent forested lands broken for cultivation. Topsoil stripping depths were 0 cm, 15 cm and 30 cm. Soils chosen for the study were...

The objective of this literature review was to evaluate the available information on the effects of stripping versus not stripping topsoil during pipeline construction in potentially arable Luvisolic soils in forested areas. A profile description representative of an undisturbed Luvisol under...

Uncertainty in Life Cycle Assessments of Well-to-Wheel Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Transportation Fuels Derived from Various Crude Oils
DownloadFall 2016
Growing concern over climate change has created pressure on the oil and gas industry to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Several life cycle assessment (LCA) studies have examined various crude oils in an attempt to determine which have the lowest and highest well-to-wheel (WTW) GHG...

Uncertainty in Probabilistic Open Pit Slope Stability Analyses: Implications for Reliability-Based Designs
DownloadSpring 2024
The presence of uncertainty is acknowledged in various fields of Engineering. Also, there are many sources of uncertainties. In geotechnical engineering, probabilistic slope stability analysis (PSSA) is a tool used to quantify parameter uncertainty. It achieves this by considering any strength...

Villalba Matamoros, Martha Emelly
Analysis of uncertainty in ore reserves impacts investment decisions, mine planning and sampling. Uncertainty is evaluated by geostatistical simulation and is affected by the amount of data and the modeling parameters. Incomplete uncertainty is given because the parameter uncertainty is ignored....

Uncertainty in well-to-tank with combustion greenhouse gas emissions of transportation fuels derived from North American crudes
Download2017-01-01
Di Lullo, Giovanni, Zhang, Hao, Kumar, Amit
Many studies have calculated deterministic point estimates of well-to-combustion (WTC) emissions of transportation fuels from crude oil in an attempt to determine which crude oils have lower or higher emissions. However, there is considerable variation in the published results, resulting in...

This thesis sets out a workflow to quantify uncertainty of the Arrow Deposit, a tabular, vein type, high-grade, basement-hosted, uranium deposit located on NexGen Energy Limited’s 100%-owned Rook I property in northern Saskatchewan. The uncertainty associated with the volume, grade, and density...

Estimating costs for construction projects is a complex and often uncertain process. Given the inherent uncertainty of estimating and the unique risk profile of each construction project, many owners use cost uncertainty analysis to understand a project’s range of potential costs. Since results...

Birds can be used as indicators to monitor success of programs encouraging prairie landowners to increase biodiversity. Using a case study from Alberta, Canada, this paper compares bird diversity measures at the farm scale and examines their consistency across different habitat types to test for...
