Full textAbstract:
The improvement of water quality in the streams of the Glenelg Hopkins catchment is a priority of the Glenelg Hopkins regional strategy. A major source of water pollution in the region is linked to agricultural activities as high nutrient levels from runoff have the potential to increase the incidence of blue-green algae in the waterways. Land use change, reduced rainfall, more frequent extreme rainfall events and higher temperatures associated with climate change are likely to exacerbate this trend. Water testing data of the Total Phosphorus (TP) levels in the Hopkins River and at other sites within the Hopkins Catchment indicate increasing incidence of TP above the Environment Protection Authority's target levels for extended periods of each year. Earlier research indicated that phosphorus in runoff increases when pasture fertility increases and that fertiliser management practices should be considered as an element of preventative action for reducing nutrient pollution. During our research, a survey was undertaken in the Hopkins River catchment, to determine the current management of phosphorus (P) fertilisers on grazing and mixed enterprise farms, the attitude of farmers to natural resource management and their understanding of nutrient pollution. The survey also gathered information on the way farmers made fertiliser management decisions. If cooperation relating to phosphorus fertiliser application could be facilitated between groups of farmers, it may be possible to reduce nutrient runoff into the Hopkins waterways. Cooperative game theory has successfully been used worldwide in the resolution of environmental problems where there is an economic impact to the decision making process. In this project, the amount of phosphorus applied per hectare was used in a cooperative game theory model assessing the potential for cooperative action on phosphorus management by groups of farmers, based on the trade off between the economic cost of pollution to the region waterways and the economic production benefits to the individual. The outcome of this work was individual optimal strategies for fertiliser application, allowing individual farmers to reduce their impact of agricultural production on the health of the catchment. Involving the farmer groups, while undertaking the project, raised awareness amongst the farming population of the regional nutrient pollution caused by runoff from agricultural land, and enlisted their assistance towards adopting a cooperative approach to the problem. In addition, the results have been mapped using a Geographical Information System (GIS) for visual presentation and to demonstrate the use of this process in natural resource management with the farmer groups.

Full textAbstract:
The Glenelg peninsular in NW Scotland contains Lewisian type rocks occurring east of the Moine thrust that have been metamorphosed and deformed along with the Moine rocks. These Lewisian rocks can be split into two facies, the Eastern Lewisian and the Western Lewisian, always separated by a thin strip of highly deformed Moine rocks. The Western Lewisian contains no recognisable meta-sediments, only a variety of meta-igneous rocks. Eclogite is rare, only occurring at one locality as pods within otherwise deformed amphibolite facies rocks. These eclogites exhibit broadly similar textures to the Eastern Lewisian eclogites, but have a slightly different chemistry, being more Si rich and Ca poor. They are formed under similar conditions of about 760°C, 15 Kb, but only one metamorphic event has been distinguished. Many of the amphibolites of the Western Lewisian have similar textures and chemistry as partly retrogressed Western Lewisian eclogite. These rocks were deformed to produce a weak fabric prior to the intrusion of further basic material that is texturally and chemically different to the eclogites. All of these rocks were then deformed and metamorphosed by the syn-Moine deformation as outlined above for the Eastern Lewisian. It is suggested that the Eastern and Western Lewisian rocks share a common history of initial high-pressure metamorphism, then the intrusion of granitic melt prior to further high pressure metamorphism. This was followed by deformation and partial retrogression before the intrusion of basic and ultrabasic dykes. The Lewisian rocks were then exhumed and the Moine rocks deposited onto them prior to further deformation and metamorphism. Radiometric dating suggests that the high pressure metamorphism occurred at approximately 1050 Ma (Grenville), but field and petrographic evidence suggests that the Lewisian rocks have undergone a similar history to the Scourian rocks of the main Lewisian outcrop and that Grenville ages for the rocks date initial syn- Moine metamorphism.

Full textAbstract:
The Glenelg-Attadale Inlier (GAI) is the largest tract of exposed basement rocks underlying the Moine Supergroup of northwest Scotland. The GAI is divided into two distinct crustal units, the Western Unit (WU) and the Eastern Unit (EU). The WU comprises dominantly Late Archaean acid gneisses of Tonalite-Trondhjemite-Granodiorite (TTG) affinity, cut by basic sheets. The WU underwent high-pressure granulite facies metamorphism and concomitant partial melting producing trondhjemites in the period 2600-2800 Ma ago. The WU underwent pervasive reworking at c.1750 Ma, possibly under eclogite facie conditions. A third event at c.1000 Ma affected the WU and involved amphibolite facies metamorphism and possibly eclogite facies metamorphism. The EU comprises mixed orthogneiss and paragneiss. Late Archaean trondhjemitic gneisses are intercalated with a Proterozoic volcano-sedimentary succession comprising marble, calc-pelite, pelite, manganiferous sediments and basic rocks. The EU underwent reworking at c.1440 to 1490 Ma, concomitant with the Pinwarian orogeny in North America and the Hallandian event in Scandinavia, suggesting a link. Eclogite facies metamorphism at c.1080 Ma occurred with the EU, at conditions of c.20kbar and 750°C. The EU was subsequently retrogressed and exhumed by 20-25km into the mid-crust at amphibolite facies by c.1000 Ma. The exhumation process was facilitated by ductile shearing at amphibolite facies. This major orogenic event in the period c.1080 to 1000 Ma is correlated with the Grenvillian-Sveconorwegian orogeny in north America and Scandinavia. The Moine Supergroup was deposited between c.1000 Ma and 870 Ma and was subsequently interleaved with the GAI by a process combining folding and ductile shearing at amphibolite facies. This interleaving process occurred in the period c.1000 to 670 Ma. The area underwent Caledonian folding and ductile shearing in the period c.440 to 425 Ma, prior to intrusion of the syn- to post-tectonic Ratagain Granite Complex.

Un recent consensus affirme que la glene prothetique presente un role important dans la survie d'une prothese totale d'epaule. Malgre un faible taux de revision, de nombreuses radiographies montrant des pertes osseuses ou des demineralisations posent le probleme de la duree de vie a long terme de la fixation de l'implant dans l'os. Ceci demontre la necessite de developper un implant aboutissant a une stabilite de l'interface prothese-os avec un remodelage a long terme de l'omoplate. L'objectif de notre etude consiste a analyser le comportement biomecanique de l'epaule humaine saine et prothesee. Une technique ultrasonore nous a permis de determiner un atlas des proprietes mecaniques anisotropes de l'os spongieux glenoidien a partir de 11 paires omoplates cadaveriques. Ces donnees ont ete integrees dans les modelisations numeriques des modeles elements finis tridimensionnels ont ete developpes a partir de coupes tomodensitometriques. Par la suite, des calculs lineaires et non-lineaires ont ete effectues. Des etudes experimentales in vitro ont ete effectuees permettant de valider les resultats des calculs numeriques. Ainsi, ces etudes nous ont apporte de nouveaux elements pour une meilleure comprehension des problemes poses par la fixation des protheses d'epaule.

Full textAbstract:
The study revolves around factors influencing the perceptions of service delivery by local
municipalities in the Central District Municipality in the North West Province. Service
delivery in general, as perceived by communities, has been a serious dilemma for most
South African local municipalities.
Factors in service delivery, as applicable in service marketing, have been examined
through a detailed SERVQUAL research method. The focus areas have been service
quality dimensions:
• Reliability : the ability to deliver the promised service dependably and accurately;
• Responsiveness : willingness to help and provide prompt customer service;
• Assurance : knowledge, courtesy and ability of service providers to inspire trust
and confidence
• Empathy : caring and individualised attention given to clients; and
• Tangibles : appearance of physical facilities, equipments, personnel and written
materials.
All five local municipalities in the Central District were involved in the study, and the
main findings indicate that the residents in all the affected municipalities do not have
confidence in the local government for service delivery. All five municipalities
performed badly on the aspect of reliability and there is negative perception on
responsiveness and willingness to provide prompt service by all the municipalities. The
municipalities are perceived not to be able to command respect and instil confidence on
their residents. The performance on empathy, where individual customised services are
expected is poor. It is only on tangibles, where physical facilities are regarded as
satisfactory.
It is recommended that all municipalities should look inwardly and improve on their
capacity on skills, financial management as well as bench-marking with international
cities and towns for effective municipal service delivery. Service marketing as a
management principle should be implemented immediately to save the current situation
of loss of clientele and customer confidence. Other areas of quality improvement to be
looked at are Total Quality Management and Work Improvement Team Strategy.(MBA) North-West University, Mafikeng Campus, 2006

This practicum explores the potential role that landscape planning and design can play in
improving the relationship between the public and farmers whose method of production
involves an intensive livestock operation.
The work involves five areas of exploration: bioremediation, odor control, climate
mitigation, biosecurity, and aesthetics. Bioremediation is explored in the context of
constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment. A new shelterbelt design, an eco-buffer,
is reviewed for its applicability in odor control and climate mitigation. Biosecurity is
addressed through site planning while design interventions and vegetation selection
address aesthetics.
The site is that of the Glenlea Research Station (GRS) belonging to the Faculty of
Agricultural and Food Sciences, University of Manitoba. The GRS is home to a major
undertaking of the Faculty, the National Centre for Livestock and the Environment. A new
addition to the site is a visitor centre, The Bruce D. Campbell Food and Farm Discovery

Full textAbstract:
Seasonal abundance of the stable flies, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.) was studied at Glenlea, Manitoba for two years (from June to mid-September, 1988 and 1989). Alsynite (TM) fibre glass sticky traps were used in which Tanglefoot (TM) was used as an adhesive. The efficiency of the Williams sticky trap system used was determined to be 36.2%. Two study sites were established, one at the animal confinement facility and the other at the pasture. Traps were operated for nine hours per day once a week at each site. Trapped flies were removed from traps after a predetermined time interval of one or more hours. Trapped flies were counted, sexed and a subsample of 15-30 females was dissected to determine the parity status. A sweep net sample was also obtained on each sampling occasion and processed like the trap catches. The abundance of the stable flies was 7.5-fold larger at the animal confinement site than at the pasture in 1988 and about 2.1-fold larger at the animal confinement site than pasture in 1989. Peak abundance occurred from 16 June to 30 August at the animal confinement site when >50 flies per trap in nine hours of trapping were collected in 1988. The maximum number of flies collected from the animal confinement site was more than 1200 flies/trap on 28 June, 1988. Pasture stable fly peak abundance occurred from 17 June to 26 August when >15 flies per trap were collected in nine hours. The highest number of flies at the pasture was 160 flies/trap which was collected on 26 July, 1988. Diurnal activity of the stable flies yielded a peak abundance between 0700-1100 hrs when more than 60% of the daily catch was collected at the animal confinement site and 55-70% of the daily total at the pasture. In June and July, 1989 hourly temperatures were recorded during trapping and it was found that stable fly diurnal activity was influenced largely by temperature, rather than time of day. Maximum daily activity, as shown by mean bi-hourly trap catch, occurred at temperatures between 20oC and 31oC and very little flight activity took place outside this range...

The purpose of the Pilgrimage to the Night Sky is to encourage a self driven journey of rediscovering the beauty and simple pleasure of looking up and seeing a star-filled sky. The goal is to create two sites in the landscape that will act as the starting points to this pilgrimage by showcasing the stars in the night sky and will nurture the curiosity of those who have an interest in the heavens. A progression approach is meant to be experienced while on this journey, with the first stage of the pilgrimage taking place in Assiniboine Forest. The second stage of the pilgrimage takes place ten minutes south of the city at Glenlea Observatory which hosts an exponential increase of stars in the night sky. The practicum concludes with an assortment of resources people can use to continue their pilgrimage and search for their darkest night sky.

Full textAbstract:
This work explores the insights that can be gained from an investigation of the shared terms of the Manitoulin Island treaties of 1836 (Treaty 45) and 1862. I focus specifically on these treaties because I was raised in proximity to this area. This thesis is very much a personal exploration in the sense that I have come to understand myself as implicated in a treaty relationship and wish to know my obligations under these agreements. In my interpretation of the Manitoulin Island treaties, I employ a strategy developed by Dr. Michael Asch that begins with the Indigenous understandings. Within this strategy, treaties are conceptualized as honourable agreements meant to ensure our legitimate presence on this land. This methodology is unique in the sense that it conceives of our representatives' actions as sincere. This step is necessary because Indigenous peoples believed we were acting honourably during negotiations. In applying this strategy in my reading of the Manitoulin Island treaties, my objective is to discern the treaty relationship that was established, and to state clearly the obligations of both parties under these agreements. Though the primary focus of this thesis is my analysis of the treaties, I briefly discuss in my conclusion the anthropological insights I have gained from this exercise with respect to communication across cultures. Throughout this work, I focus on the concept of sharing as a productive and positive framework for thinking about relationships between cultures.
