Inductive Reasoning and Programming Visualization, an Experiment Proposal
(2007)
We lay down plans to study how Inductive Reasoning Ability (IRA) affects the analyzing and understanding of Program Visualization (PV) systems. Current PV systems do not take into account the abilities of the user but show ...

Western Boreal Wetlands and Orchids
(2010-06-14)
Wetlands are a dominant component of the western boreal region of Canada. They are comprised primarily of peatlands, wetlands with organic soils. Peatlands vary from acidic bogs to calcareous fens and offer a rich array ...
Early stand-level assessment of forest harvesting in western boreal peatlands
(Sustainable Forest Management Network, Networks of Centres of Excellence, 2010-02)
Highlights
• In Canada’s boreal region, wooded
peatlands comprised of bogs, fens, and
conifer swamps make up a significant
component of the forest land base and
many have marketable-size trees.
• In parts of eastern ...
Boreal peatlands and plant diversity: what’s there and why it matters
(Sustainable Forest Management Network, Networks of Centres of Excellence, 2010-02)
Highlights
• In the boreal region, knowledge
of plant species diversity (richness
and rarity) is low compared with
other taxa such as birds and
mammals. This is particularly true
of peatlands, which have a ...
Plant Communities and Diversity in Boreal Wooded Fens: An Ecoregional Perspective
(2009-07-06)
Ecoregions are increasingly being used as a framework for conservation planning. The Mid-Boreal Uplands Ecoregion stretches across western Canada from Manitoba to British Columbia. Within this Ecoregion (Manitoba to Alberta), ...
Automated Regional Modelling (ARM) for characterization of the substorm current wedge
(2008-04-30)
Some characteristics of substorms may be determined through use of an electrojet forward modelling approach. These include the amplitude of cross-meridian electric current (0.2 to 1 MA typically), timescales (about 20 ...
