DHR51 as a coordinator of heme biosynthesis and steroid hormone production to time metamorphosis in Drosophila melanogaster
DownloadFall 2019
Development from a juvenile to an adult animal is driven by pulses of steroid hormones released at precise developmental times. Inputs from the environment, timing cues, and nutritional factors are all coordinated to produce a steroid hormone pulse. Insects and in particular, the fruit fly...

Differences in the composition of soils under open and canopy conditions at two sites close-in to the great Canadian oil sands operation, Fort McMurray, Alberta
Download1980
Soils sampled at Sites 1 and 2, 2.3 and 5.3 km south of the Great Canadian Oil Sands (GCOS) plant, Fort McMurray, respectively were found to differ statistically with reference to several macronutrients. Soils under cover of a canopy and those in open areas differed considerably with respect to...

Disinformation, Stochastic Harm, and Costly Effort: A Principal-Agent Analysis of Regulating Social Media Platforms
DownloadFall 2022
The spread of disinformation on social media platforms is harmful to society. This harm may manifest as a gradual degradation of public discourse; but it can also take the form of sudden dramatic events such as the 2021 insurrection on Capitol Hill. The social media platforms themselves are in...

The interaction between the turbulent wake, created by a tailings pond dike and the low level emissions at the Syncrude Tar Sands Plant has been investigated using wind tunnel model simulation. At the large Reynolds numbers experienced by model and full-scale dike the flow remains attached to the...

Maddukuri, C.S., Slawson, P.R., Davidson, G.A.
The plume rise, spread and supporting meterological and source data given in Slawson et al (1978) were further analyzed in order to provide a more suitable data set upon which a site-tuned plume dispersion model could be developed. This dispersion model was considered to consist of a buoyant...

Benthic macroinvertebrates were collected at two-week intervals between 1982 May 13 and August 18 at 16 sites along an 85 km stretch of the Athabasca River between Fort McMurray and the Ells River. Samples were collected from gravel bars with a 0.l m2 cylinder sampler. All netting had a mesh...

Distribution, abundance and habitat associations of beavers, muskrats, mink and river otters in the AOSERP study area, Northeastern Alberta
Download1979
A synthesis of the published literature on the habitat preferences of beavers, muskrats, mink and river otters is presented. Field studies conducted during the late autumn of 1978 included aerial surveys and track counts in snow. A total of 249 active beaver lodges were seen on 2550 km of...

A field study has been undertaken at the Sandalta lease near Fort McMurray to determine the sulphur dioxide dry deposition velocities above and within a tree canopy. The concentration gradient method has been used to compute fluxes and dry deposition velocities. The covariance of temperature...
