The objective of this paper is to discuss approaches and issues related to modelling stand dynamics for multi-cohort forest management in eastern Canadian boreal forests. In these forests, the interval between wildfires can be rather long, and the development of natural forest stands may include the establishment, growth and mortality of several cohorts of trees. Later cohorts are characterised...

RHOADES, C.C., and BINKLEY, D. 1992. Spatial extent of impact of red alder on soil chemistry of adjacent conifer stands. Can. J. For. Res. 22: 1434-1437. We examined patterns in soil N availability and pH along transects extending from mixed stands of conifers (mostly Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco)) and red alder (A/nus rubra Bong.) to pure conifer stands at two locations. A...

We present a set of stand-off annotations for the ninety thousand sentences in the spoken section of the British National Corpus (BNC) which feature a progressive aspect verb group. These annotations may be matched to the original BNC text using the supplied document and sentence identifiers. The annotated features mostly relate to linguistic form: subject type, subject person and number, form ...

The First Release of the American National Corpus (ANC) was made available in mid-fall, 2003. The data includes approximately 11 million words of American English, including written and spoken data and a variety of text types annotated for part of speech and lemma. The corpus is provided in XML format conformant to the XML Corpus Encoding Standard (XCES) (http://www.xml-ces.org), and is distrib...

This paper investigates a current challenge that enables the hybridization of different materials using solid-state additive principle. We investigate suitability such principle to easily and efficiently grow metallic electrically conductive coating on polymer substrate. The is obtained high-pressure cold spraying (CS) method whose literature does not include an achievement as suggested in this...

Multi-biometrics, or the fusion of more than one biometric modality, sample, sensor, or algorithm, is quickly gaining popularity as a method of improving biometric system performance and robustness. Despite the recent growth in multibiometrics research, little investigation has been done to explore the possibility of achieving multi-modal fusion from a single sensor. This approach to multi-biom...

Ghost imaging is a transverse imaging technique that relies on the correlation between a pair of light fields, one that has interacted with the object to be imaged and one that has not. Most ghost imaging experiments have been performed in transmission, and virtually all ghost imaging theory has addressed the transmissive case. Yet stand-off sensing applications require that the object be image...
