Martin, C. D., Chan, D. H., Kin, J. S., Jeon, J. S.
Abstract: Tunnel construction frequently makes use of radial displacements to monitor tunnel Support performance, particularly in complex ground conditions. In recent years, absolute displacement monitoring methods have replaced the more traditional radial convergence measurements. It has been...

Predominance of industrial Pb in recent snow (1994-2004) and ice (1842-1996) from Devon Island, Arctic Canada
Download2005
Koerner, R., Shotyk, W., Zdanowicz, C., Zheng, J., Fisher, D., Krachler, M.
Abstract: Atmospheric Pb contamination was studied using snow and ice from the Canadian arctic. Forty-five samples representing the past ten years of snow accumulation on Devon Island contain an average of 45.2 pg/g of Pb but only 0.43 pg/g of Sc. The average ratio of Pb to Sc (105) is far...

A probabilistic slope analysis methodology based on Monte Carlo simulation using Microsoft Excel and @Risk software is applied to investigate the failure of the Shek Kip Mei cut in Hong Kong. The study demonstrates the techniques used in quantifying uncertainties in shear strength of granitic...

Estabrooks, C.A., Brigidear, K., Profetto-McGrath, J., Chong, H.
Several researchers have examined nurses' knowledge sources within the context of research utilization, but conclusions are equivocal. Common problems include a lack of replication, conflicting results, poor generalizability of results, and unclear implications for practice. The objectives of...

Herein, we analyze an efficient branching particle method for asymptotic solutions to a class of continuous-discrete filtering problems. Suppose that t→Xt is a Markov process and we wish to calculate the measure-valued process t→μt(⋅)≐P{Xt∈⋅|σ{Ytk, tk≤t}}, where tk=kɛ and Ytk is a distorted,...

ReAS: Recovery of Ancestral Sequences for Transposable Elements from the Unassembled Reads of a Whole Genome Shotgun
Download2005
Ye, C., Wang, J., Li, S., Li, R., Wong, G.K.S., Ye, J., Yang, H., Han, Y., Yu, J.
We describe an algorithm, ReAS, to recover ancestral sequences for transposable elements (TEs) from the unassembled reads of a whole genome shotgun. The main assumptions are that these TEs must exist at high copy numbers across the genome and must not be so old that they are no longer...

Rivard, B., Vinebrooke, R.D., Michelutti, N., Wolfe, A.P.
A new application of reflectance spectroscopy enables inferences of lake sediment chlorophyll a concentrations and hence of historical trends in lacustrine primary production. In a survey of six arctic lakes on Baffin Island (Nunavut, Canada), pronounced increases of spectrally-inferred...

Redressing the democratic deficit in treaty law making: (Re-) establishing a role for Parliament
Download2005
Treaties are a significant source of law on a wide range of subjects, but traditionally do not become domestic law without national implementation. Nevertheless, the legal character of treaty rules does place pressure on a state's domestic institutions to ensure compliance. Given the influence of...
