This study strives to answer two main questions: (a) What is Go Bus? and (b) is Go Bus a type of service that TransLink should offer? North Seniors Go Bus is a door-to-door transportation service for seniors. The driver provides assistance with getting to and from the vehicle, carrying parcels and transporting mobility devices. From an operational standpoint, the service is perhaps best characterized as a demand-responsive shuttle with a set of destinations rather than a fixed route. Unlike...

Geology and structure of 1,000 square miles of granulite-upper amphibolite facies gneisses cut by syn- and late-kinematic intrusions are described. The circular post-kinematic Mutton Bay alkaline syenite (631 m.y.) is divided into three main intrusive groups on the basis of chemistry, mineralogy, and field relations. Differentiation includes gravity settling and flow differentiation, while intrusion involved early stoping and assimilation with late faulting. Depth of the present level below the ...

During 2006 and 2007 behavioral observations surveys of raptors were conducted at 12 turbines of a 66-turbine wind farm near Port Burwell, Ontario, Canada. Mortality surveys were conducted at all turbines in the wind farm with additional search effort at the twelve turbines where behavioral monitoring was conducted. The wind farm is located along a significant autumn raptor migration corridor along Lake Erie which is in the area of the Central Flyway. Only one raptor fatality was found each y...

This article is an attempt to put forward the use of new digital techniques and data for understanding prehistoric landscapes. The starting point is that the specific characteristics of the landscape and of the sites included affect the interpretation. One character is the contemporary landscape and its topographies. Ancient landscapes can be successfully recreated digitally using GIS. By applying GIS methodology, a regression equation and new data, we reinvestigated an hypothesis proposed by We...

Growing Narrative, Conviviality, and Security: Community and Gardening in the North Shore of Massachusetts is an ethnography of the Highlands neighborhood of Lynn, Massachusetts. In this thesis I argue that the efforts of this community to combat the ills of their neighborhood seen through the lens of a community garden rely on three key factors. The first is their reliance and sharing of a narrative that reminds fellow community members of the difficult points in their past, but with the messag...

Thesis (MScEng (Civil Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Calculation of longshore sediment transport rates is a typical part of coastal engineering work. One of the important inputs to such calculations is the sediment grain size. A single, representative grain size is typically required. The inter-tidal beach is the most convenient and common area from which grain size data can be obtained. Yet only a fraction of the longshore transport occurs at the beach,...

The aim of the present study was to determine the potential impact of intertidal grazers on the distribution of macro algae on the south coast of South Africa. Particular attention was paid to the large patellid limpet, Patella oculus, which is found thoughout the intertidal zone. Studies of gut contents revealed that Patella oculus was capable of ingesting not only the thallus of foliose (eg. Ulva spp.) and encrusting coralline macroalgae, but also spores and diatoms. The inclusion of these rel...

This essay is focused on Alfred Tennyson’s In Memoriam, interpreting the poem against the background of a Petrarchan tradition. In this text I show how Tennyson’s work exhibits several parallels to the traditional elements of Petrarchism, both in terms of the themes it explores and of itsmore formal aspects. Among these commonalities are such things as a persistent focus on a distant object of affection, a sense of conflict or tension between earthly and divine love and a overall chronology and ...

The thesis focuses upon the final reintegration of Walvis Bay and its twelve Penguin/Off-Shore Islands into Namibia. As Namibia's only deep water port, it escaped reintegration in 1989 when the United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 435 (1978) was implemented. Hence the study argues that the exclusion of Walvis Bay from the Settlement Plan falls outside the parameters of various UNSC and UN General Assembly Resolutions, viz 385 and 432 of 1976 respectively. Such an arrangement has to...

Ice plays an important role in hydraulic processes of rivers in cold regions such as Canada. The formation, progression, recession and breakup of river ice cover known as river ice processes affect river hydraulics, sediment transport characteristics as well as river morphology. Ice jamming and break up are responsible of winter flash floods, river bed modification and bank scour. River ice cover monitoring using terrestrial images from cameras installed on the shores can help monitor and unde...

Sports angling in Pacific Northwest waters has been predominantly for salmon from small recreational boats. This has led to a concentration of management resources on the sport salmon fishery. Eight shore-based sport fisheries in Burrard Inlet, however, do not fit into the management framework in place for the boat salmon fishery and have, therefore, been neglected. In contrast, shore-based sport fisheries have been developed in the U.S. and elsewhere, and have realized social, environmental and...

The population size structure of many intertidal animals varies with tidal height so that the mean animal size is increasing or decreasing with tidal height. These size gradients could be produced by growth or survival varying with tidal height, or by animals moving to a preferred tidal level. The body size of the snail, Littorina sitkana, increases steadily with tidal height in rocky high intertidal habitats of British Columbia. To determine how size gradients were maintained in L.sitkana, I qu...

The north side of Cowichan Lake, Vancouver Island B.C. is underlain by volcanic rocks, sediments, and intrusives of Mesozoic age. The oldest rocks, Jurassic or Triassic flows known as the Sicker andesites, are conformably overlain by about 3000 feet of cherty tuffs, coarser pyroclastics, and small lenses of limestone known as the Sicker sediments. Cherty tuffs form the lower members of the Sicker sediments, felspathic tuffs the central members, and coarser pyroclastics the upper members. About ...

Energy budgets are reported for high- and low-shore groups of the chiton Sypharochiton pelliserpentis from a sheltered shore, Kaikoura Peninsula. All components of the budget were measured; i.e., growth production (Pg), mucous g production (Pm), reproductive production (Pr), respiration (R), defaecation (F), excretion (U) and consumption (Cm). Previous molluscan energetics studies have usually ignored Pm and U, and calculated consumption by summing all other M terms. The largest single component...

Resident rocky-shore fishes were quantitatively sampled and visually censused on islands and mainlands in the Gulf of California. Patterns of biogeographic distribution were investigated in relation to the MacArthur-Wilson model of island biogeography, the lottery hypothesis of reef fish community structure. Analyses of the collections show regular patterns of distribution and relative abundance of rocky-shore fishes. Most of the variation in species number and species diversity is explained by ...

Iron Bay is a small community situated on the North Shore of the province of Quebec, where people work mainly in the resources and industrial sectors. This study examines the social relations of the workers of an iron pellet plant in that community, both at work and outside. The social organization of work, the relations between hierarchical orders at work and leisure activities are examined to produce an ethnographic account of the way of life of an affluent, if isolated, segment of the w...

The behavior of the shore crab Hemigrapsus oregonensis was assessed with and without exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (Aroclor 1260). After describing the crab's behavioral repertoire, activity budgets were developed from observations of the time crabs spent in 20 categories of shelter use, posture, and activity while held in habitat replicas with sinusoidal tides of 12.4 hours. Without PCBs exposure female crabs spent more time sheltered and feeding but less time displaying than males. The...

The vast majority of research in the field of robotics has over the last few decades shifted from industrial robots—in the sense of robots mounted in a structured environment such as a factory floor—to robots operating in unstructured and harsh environments. Even though industrial robotics has become a mature research field we believe that there is still room for progress and improvement. In fact, we show this through both theoretical advances and experimental results in this thesis. However, th...
