Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, Vancouver. "The following views will give one some idea of the wonderful progress Vancouver has made during the last 25 years. Just compare this up to date City with what it was in say 1886, when there were only 600 people then living in Vancouver. The handsome buildings, splendid Streets,...

In a previous and rather brief description of the 2017 Confederation Bridge Project for British Columbia the author suggested a possible route (refer to A Proposed new Bridge Linking the BC Mainland to Vancouver Island, archive.org, June 16, 2013). A study of the design requirements for a link between the BC Mainland and Vancouver Island is presented in this document. There are five bridges in total of three designs (5.3 km, 9.0 km and 13.0 km) for a total of 41.6 kilometres. The longest bridge...

Mackenzie Highway Anniversary Ride – Yellowknife by BMW in 1982. In 1982 my friend and I celebrated ten years of motorcycle touring by riding a ten-day 4,400 km loop, of which 1,200 km was unpaved at that time, from Vancouver to Yellowknife, the capital of the Northwest Territories. It marked ten years since our first motorcycle camping trip after finishing high school in 1972. The trip was on a 750 cc 1974 BMW R75/6 and a 600 cc 1973 BMW R60/5. In 1982 we captured it on Ektachrome. In 2015 I...

Five rewarming techniques, appropriate for first-aid use in the non-hospital setting, were applied to each of nine subjects whose body temperatures had been lowered to 35 C in a stirred tank of 7.5 C water. The rewarming techniques were as follows: (a) Shivering, (b) Inhalation of heated, water-saturated oxygen, (c) Placement of heating pads over areas of high heat transfer, (d) Combination of methods (b) and (c), (e) Hot whirlpool bath. Inhalation of heated, water-saturated oxygen was...

The dependence of inertial oscillation frequency on time since a cylindrical container began rotating from rest is established experimentally for several axially symmetric modes of oscillation. The oscillations were excited by including a sinusoidal perturbation in the rotation speed of the container which served to establish an exchange of fluid between the viscous boundary layers and the interior. The interior is set into oscillation by the boundary layer flow and the resulting axial pressure...

InP/GaAsSb/InP double heterojunction bipolar transistors (DHBTs) are some of the fastest bipolar transistors ever fabricated, with current gain cutoff and maximum oscillation frequencies simultaneously exceeding 300 GHz while maintaining breakdown voltages BV(sub ceo> 6V I. InP/GaAsSb/InP DHBTs are particularly appealing because excellent device figures of merit are achievable with relatively simple structures involving abrupt junctions and uniform doping levels and compositions. This is...

Non-local clamping was investigated by Ferromagnetic Resonance (FMR) using ultrathin magnetic single and double layer structures prepared by Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE). The double layer structures show magnetic damping which is caused by spin transport across a normal metal spacer (N). In double layer structures a thin Fe layer, F1, was separated from a thick Fe layer, F2, by a Au(001) sparer. The interface magnetic anisotropies separated the FMR fields of F1 and F2 by a big margin allowing...

Double diffusive phenomena, due to the difference in molecular conduction coefficients for heat and for ion concentrations in sea water, are widely known. These include salt fingering and diffusive convection which occur when either temperature or salinity is destabilizing while the other (salinity or heat) is stabilizing. Less well known, less dramatic in their occurrence, but far more widespread are circumstances where both temperature and salinity are stabilizing and yet the differences in...

A "list as long as your arm" has described the range of principles that may be attempted for possible eddy parameterization schemes. We feel uncomfortably an attitude of "try and see" whether any particular principle "works" in any particular application. This note summarizes a discussion which followed the body of presentations at Aha. We ask if principles from general physics, especially notions of the 2nd Law and entropy, can help clear a way. We ask if such...

The parameterization of unresolved processes in oceanographic models is complicated by the interplay of processes on a wide variety of space and time scales. The lack of spectral gaps further complicates the situation, though perhaps not as seriously as might be feared. Understanding the interaction of different processes, and determining which one is critical, or rate-controlling, may be aided by thinking in terms of a triple decomposition into mean, eddies and turbulence. Particular physical...

Melting and crystallization experiments of InGaSb were done under the reduced gravity condition (10(exp -2) G) in an airplane and at the normal gravity condition (lG) in the laboratory. Crystallized InGaSb was found to contain many needle crystals in both the cases. Reduced gravity condition was found to be more conducive for crystal growth than the normal gravity condition. Formation of spherical projections on the surface of InGaSb during its crystallization was in-situ observed using a high...

The solution is obtained of the linear equations of equilibrium of an elastic body for the case of a force acting at a point within an isotropic body bounded by a plane. The results are obtained directly by an application of potential theory and Papkovitch functions. The results are identical with those of Mindlin (Physics 7:195-202, 1936) which were obtained by starting with Kelvin;s solution for a force in an infinite body and guessing the nuclei of strain to add outside of the semi-infinite...

Contrast discrimination is an important type of information for establishing image quality metrics based on human vision. We used a dual-masking paradigm to study how contrast discrimination can be influenced by the presence of adjacent stimuli. In a dual masking paradigm, the observer's task is to detect a target superimposed on a pedestal in the presence of flankers. The flankers (1) reduce the target threshold at zero pedestal contrast; (2) reduce the size of pedestal facilitation at low...

An investigation into the application of transition prediction methods for hybrid laminar flow control for military aircraft has been carried out. Linear stability theory and the "e" criterion are commonly used for predicting the onset of transition. Although a great deal of experience has been gained in their use over the years, there are still issues involved in the use of these methods which affect the accuracy of transition prediction The investigation has shown the importance of...

Alaska, Yukon, Cassiar Highways by BMW Motorcycle in 1980; by Google Streetview in 2014. In 1980 I rode a muddy, moody, melancholy loop up the half-gravel Alaska Highway, around Fairbanks, Seward and Dawson, and down the unpaved Stewart-Cassiar Highway. The ride covered about 5500 miles / 8900 km; 1700 miles / 2800 km were unpaved. In 1980 I captured it on Ektachrome. In 2014 I looked up, where possible, what the same places look like a generation later and used Google Streetview to make...

Recently the President of UBC resigned after only a year in office. The alumni of UBC are still unsure as to the reasons why. In the wake of his resignation there has been some silliness going on at the University. This is a letter submitted on 5th September, 2015 to the Ubyssey, the student Newspaper at the University of British Columbia. I am posting this letter here on September 12th, 2015 because it appears that the editors at Ubyssey have decided not to publish it.
