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...

Heterogeneity in Attitudes Underlying Preferences for Genomic Technology Producing Hybrid Poplars on Public Land
DownloadSpring 2016
This study investigates the public preference heterogeneity of planting genetically improved poplar tree on public land for biofuel production in Western Canada. Using a sample of the public from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, respondents were asked to vote in a series of...

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...

Spatial heterogeneity of buffaloberry (Shepherdia canadensis) in relation to forest canopy patterns and its importance for grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) resource selection
DownloadFall 2016
Spatial heterogeneity inherent in the environment influences how animals respond to their surroundings, especially as it relates to the variability of their food resources. Heterogeneity in specific elements of vegetation, such as the spatial pattern of a single plant species, can be defined...
