A Framework for Aggregation of Heterogeneous Experts' Opinions in Construction Risk Assessment
DownloadSpring 2018
Construction companies constantly seek to improve risk analysis techniques to determine projects' risk contingency. The construction risk assessment practice relies on heterogeneous experts' opinions in a group decision making (GDM) process to determine the risk probabilities and impacts on a...

A partitioned likelihood analysis of swallowtail butterfly phylogeny (Lepidoptera:Papilionidae)
Download2001
Caterino, M.S., Sperling, F.A., Kuo, M.M., Reed, R.D.
Although it is widely agreed that data from multiple sources are necessary to confidently resolve phylogenetic relationships, procedures for accommodating and incorporating heterogeneity in such data remain underdeveloped.We explored the use of partitioned, model-based analyses of heterogeneous...

An overview of soil heterogeneity: quantification and implications on geotechnical field problems
Download2003
Elkateb, T., Chalaturnyk, R., Robertson, P. K.
Abstract: Engineering judgment and reliance on factors of safety have been the conventional tools for dealing with soil heterogeneity in geotechnical practice. This paper presents a review of recent advances in treating soil variability. It presents the implications of geostatistical techniques...

Identifying seasonal Lake Sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) movement patterns and habitat selection in the South Saskatchewan River Basin
DownloadFall 2016
Lake Sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens Rafinesque 1817) have experienced population declines throughout their range. In Alberta, low density age-class distributions, irregular recruitment, critically low spawning potential ratios and other factors led to a 2007 designation of “Threatened” for this...

Influence of variable retention and deadwood characteristics on saproxylic beetles in boreal white spruce stands
DownloadSpring 2016
Retention forestry aims to maintain a significant level of continuity in forest structure, composition and complexity so as to support conservation and recovery of biodiversity and ecological function on managed landscapes; however, the amount and distribution of retention that best meets...
