Traditionally, all “small” species of Alestidae with reduced multicuspid teeth were grouped in the tribe

structural analysis indicates that the production and emplacement of alkalic and tholeiitic magmas are spatially segregated by the tectonic domains of the Sverdrup Basin. Six U-Pb and four Ar/Ar ages obtained in the present study range from 122 ± 2 Ma to 78.5 ± 1.8 Ma, within the range of previously

published results for the HALIP. The U-Pb ages are the first reported on mafic intrusive sheets on Axel Heiberg and Ellesmere Islands, including two coincident age determinations at ~117 Ma, which is an age that previous studies have yet to report. In addition, the discovery of a xenocrystic zircon, within

BGC Engineering Inc. (BGC) conducted a review of existing tailings technologies for the Oil Sands Research and Information Network (OSRIN). Over the years, many technologies have been proposed and field tested but they have been rejected for lack of technical or economic feasibility. With no

unique and acceptable solution yet in sight, research is now focusing on schemes which utilize more than one technology and combining them into a disposal package. This report presents an in-depth review of the state-of-knowledge related to oil sands fine tailings treatment technologies. All information

is from publicly available sources at the time of writing. The aim of this report is to serve as a fundamental planning document for future research initiatives by OSRIN and other research agencies to support, promote, and improve the oil sands industry’s capability to deal with the challenges of

Conservation Board and under the direction of B.C. Doell study co-ordinator. In March, 1974, the study was awarded to Thurber Consultants Ltd. who had submitted a joint proposal with Crippen Engineering Ltd. and Northwest Hydraulic Consultants Ltd. The Consultants' report was submitted in two volumes in

early February, 1975. This is a summary of the Consultant’s findings. It should be noted, however, that owing to the complicated conditions at Crooked Rapids, a summary of reasonable length cannot cover all aspects of the situation. Consequently, Volume 1 of the Consultant’s report must also be read

before a full appreciation of the various problems can be obtained. The Consultants were requested to carry out preliminary studies to determine the technical feasibility and estimated cost of constructing a dam in the vicinity of Crooked Rapids. The study was to encompass all engineering considerations

Researchers in empirical software engineering often make claims based on observable data such as defect reports. Unfortunately, in many cases, these claims are generalized beyond the data sets that have been evaluated. Will the researcher’s conclusions hold a year from now for the same software

conclusion stability, empirical software engineering researchers should limit their claims of performance within the contexts of evaluation, because broad claims about defect prediction performance might be contradicted by the next upcoming release of a product under analysis.

Technical report TR06-09. This paper presents a new technique, called aura 3D textures, for generating solid textures based on input examples. Our method is fully automatic and requires no user interactions in the process. Given an input texture sample, our method first creates its aura matrix

the evaluation results using human subjects, we conclude that our algorithm can generate faithful results of both stochastic and structural textures with an average successful rate of 76.4%. Our experimental results also show that the new method outperforms Wei & Levoy's method and is comparable to

Here, we report a solvent-free mechanochemical synthesis (MCS) method to prepare FA-MHPs, starting with their parent compounds (FAPbX3; X = Cl, Br, I), achieving compositions not previously accessible through the solvent synthesis (SS) technique. By

Although the individual subtests on the assessment were not correlated, the overall structural

Mycobacteria, including the human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis, produce a complex cell wall that is critical for their survival. The largest structural component of the cell wall, the mycolylarabinogalactanpeptidoglycan complex, has at its core a galactan domain composed of D

-galactofuranose residues. Mycobacterial galactan biosynthesis has been proposed to involve two glycosyltransferases, GlfT1 and GlfT2, which elongate polyprenol-pyrophosphate linked glycosyl acceptor substrates using UDP-galactofuranose as the donor substrate. We here report the first chemical synthesis of GlfT1

and demonstrate a straightforward route for the preparation of such compounds. The work also provides additional support for the process by which this important glycan is biosynthesized using, for the first time, close structural analogs to the natural substrates.
