A One-meter Robotic Telescope for Western Canada
(2008-10-11)1-m class telescopes are arguably the workhorses of modern astronomy and represent an excellent return of science for a relatively modest capital investment. Such instruments can be used in large-field survey work, ... -
An Online Mechanics Experiment
(2006-09-30)Physics distance education has grown rapidly in recent years. The theory part of a physics course taught in this way has much common ground with other courses. However, lab instruction is an important part of introductory ... -
Onsets and Flapping Studied Using a Dynamic Harris Sheet Model
(2007-10-31)We have developed a nonlinear fitting routine for the Harris current sheet based on magnetic data, and applied it to 71 plasma sheet crossings by Cluster. In most cases this simple fit appeared to represent the magnetic ... -
"Open and Closed" Getting the mix right. Who gets to Decide??
(2012-10-26)Despite the desirability of "Making Open the Default" as the theme of this year’s open access week, there are many reasons that can and should influence a person and an organization to restrict access to content. In this ... -
Optimization of Models
(University of Alberta, 1998)The parameters of model auroral current systems were described in the previous chapter. To model the currents at any given time, these parameters must be adjusted to provide an optimal match to the available observations. ... -

Overwintering aggregations of Leiobunum paessleri in caves and mines (Arachnida, Opiliones).
(Journal of Arachnology, 1984)In the forested mountain areas of southwestern Canada, Leiobunull1 paessleri (Roewer) form overwintering aggregations in the twilight regions of moist caves and mines. Each aggregation consists of adults of both sexes ... -
P-learning’s unwelcome legacy
(2016)Formal teaching of adults has evolved in a context de ned, initially, by the constraints of physical boundaries. Classroom walls directly entail timetables, norms and rules of behaviour, social segregation into organized ... -
Physical Parameters of Substorms from Automated Forward Modeling
(2006-07-08)AFM technique applied to give average parameters of substorms and relation to AL index, Weimer parametrization, optical data -
Physical Processes
(1998)Physical processes in near-Earth space with attention to ground and satellite magnetic fields. -
