1985
Rudolph, R. C., Davison, D. S.
Minisonde data collected in the Athabasca Oil Sands area from 1975 to 1979 were analysed to determine regional values of roughness length (Zo). A rigorous selection re reduced the working data set to a small fraction of the original size. A least squares technique was used to determine from...

Evaluation of potential meteorological triggers of large landslides in sensitive glaciomarine clay, eastern Canada
Download2012-01-01
Hutchinson, D. J. , Gauthier, D.
Heavy rains spread over some interval preceding large landslides in sensitive glaciomarine clay in eastern Canada are often noted as a triggering or causative factor in case studies or research reports for individual landslides, although the quantity or duration of the triggering rain event has...

Evaluation of Radar and Cameras as Tools for Automating the Monitoring of Waterbirds at Industrial Sites
DownloadFall 2014
Conflict occurs between people and birds at industrial sites around the world, where birds can endanger human lives (e.g. airports) and where bird populations are endangered by human activities (e.g. wind farms). Mitigating these conflicts requires accurate detection of birds and measures of...

Chrome carbide samples prepared using submerged arc welding procedures were subjected to physical abrasion testing in a modified machine similar to the ASTM G65 standard, in an investigation of media particle shape contribution to abrasive wear. The primary intent of this study was to determine...

1979
Prior to 1975 information on surface water hydrology in the oil sands area was very limited. During 1975 and 1976 a number of hydrometric gauging stations were provided by AOSERP to bring the total number of stations in the area to 32. Measurements of standard water quality parameters began at...

This report examines the effect of convective turbulence on the dispersion of pollutants emitted from tall stacks in the AOSERP area. As an introduction to this subject the structure of the convective boundary layer is described. Recent models to account for the effects of convection on plume...

Evaluation, analysis, and assessment of snowpack and precipitation data from a monitoring network in the AOSERP study area
Download1985
Heidorn, K., Stevens, D., Todd, S., Fellin, P., Davis, C. S.
The data and network operating procedures from the precipitation and snow sampling networks in the AOSERP area of Alberta were reviewed and assessed. The data was first reformatted into NAQUADAT format and then quality assured by several screening procedures including outlier tests, simultaneous...

Experimental Response and Analysis Model of an Innovative Pile-To-Pile Mechanical Connector
DownloadFall 2017
Pile-to-pile mechanical connections are used when the depth of the soil layers with sufficient bearing strength exceeds the standard pile length and extensions are needed to reach the deep stable soil. Mechanical connectors permit a safe transmission of forces while meeting strength and...

This essay analyzes and develops recent views about explanation in biology. Philosophers of biology have parted with the received deductive-nomological model of scientific explanation primarily by attempting to capture actual biological theorizing and practice. This includes an endorsement of...
