Constraints on the formation of depositional placer accumulations in coarse alluvial braided river systems
(1989)Placer accumulations are formed by the preferential sedimentation of heavy minerals from the general population of detritus being transported by a fluid. The depth, velocity, and grain size conditions under which placers ... -
Constructing local culture in a near media monopoloy
(2003)The main objective of this thesis is to examine how the local radio news media in Thunder Bay construct local culture. Two paradigms are used to explain this process: instrumentalism and structuralism. Although other ... -
Construction of a local Lie group from its Lie algebra
(1992)In "Symmetry Groups and Their Applications", by W. Miller [1, p.152-206], Miller discusses local Lie group theory and certain resulting applications in special function theory, in the course of this discussion Miller ... -
