Abstract Inverse dynamic solutions for flexible-link manipulators are generally known to be unstable E. Bayo, A finite-element approach to control of the end-point motron of a single-link flexible robot, Journal of Robotic Systems 4 (1987) 63–75 [1] . This is due to the...

The mountain pine beetle (MPB; Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins, 1902) forms beneficial symbiotic associations with fungi. Here we explored the fine-scale spatial genetic structure of three of those fungi using single nucleotide polymorphism. We found that single mated ...

Delays in direct payments to Canadian farmers reduce the income loss protection that is provided by federal income stabilization and related programs. This issue is examined using Statistics Canada federal direct payment and net farm income data from 1981 to 2010. An es...

This paper assesses different retrieval schemes used for the Chinese Gaofen-3 Synthetic Aperture Radar (GF-3 SAR) co-polarized data. The data consist of 4186 GF-3 data points and collocated wind information from sources including the ASCAT scatterometer, HY2A-SCAT scatt...

Abstract The concept of food regimes has become a prominent theory in political economy. We here provide socio-ecological underpinning of the food regimes theory and thereby connect it closer to an ecological economics perspective. We quantify physical trade with main a...

Thermochemical changes during wood-dowel welding were investigated in two Canadian hardwood species commonly used for indoor appearance applications: sugar maple (Acer saccharum) and yellow birch (Betula alleghaniensis). The original reference wood sample and the welded...

[1] The Charlevoix seismic zone in the St. Lawrence valley of Quebec is the most active in eastern Canada. The structurally complex region comprises a series of subparallel steeply dipping Iapetan rift faults, superimposed by a 350 Ma meteorite impact structure, resulti...

ABSTRACT This study measured total bacterial and denitrifier community abundances over time in an agricultural soil cropped to potatoes ( Solanum tuberosum L.) by using quantitative PCR. Samples were collected on 10 dates from spring to autumn and from three spatial lo...
