STRUCTURAL, OPTICAL AND ELECTRONIC-PROPERTIES OF WIDE-BAND GAP AMORPHOUS-CARBON SILICON ALLOYS
No full textHydrogenated carbon-silicon alloys with carbon fraction X(C) between 0.2 and 0.8 have been deposited and characterized. For X(C) less-than-or-equal-to 0.5 it is shown that Si/SiC phases whose electronic properties can be optimized by using an H-2 dilution higher than 90% and a substrate temperature T(d) almost-equal-to 300-degrees-C are preferentially deposited. For X(C) > 0.5 the deposited material contains polymer-like phases which are responsible for high optical transparency and poor electronic properties
Amorphous Silicon/Silicon carbide photodiodes with excellent sensitivity and selectivity in the vacuum ultraviolet spectrum
No full textAn innovative family of thin-film photodetectors optimized for the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum is presented here. The devices are made of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) and silicon carbide (a-SiC:H) on glass substrates. At room temperature, the photodetectors exhibit values of quantum efficiency of 21% in the vacuum UV and 0.08% at 750 nm, without external voltage. The great advantage of this technology lies in the possibility to produce low-cost, large-area arrays of photodetectors on glass or flexible substrates. All these features candidate the a-Si/SiC:H photodetectors as possible, concurrent to specialized commercial devices.© 1995 American Institute of Physics
The demographic consequences of partial migration among woodland caribou in fragmented landscapes
No full textPartial migration behavior is common across taxa despite evolutionary logic that differential demographic consequences could fix for particular strategies in each system. Woodland caribou in the Canadian Rockies exhibit genetic evidence of mixed lineages of diverged Beringian-Eurasian migratory caribou and North American sedentary caribou subspecies. While both behaviors remain in Canadian Rockies populations, the selective balance between sedentary and migratory strategies may be subject to recent alteration by anthropogenic habitat fragmentation, as mediated by predation. We used Cox proportional hazards modeling to assess the relative impact of migratory behavior, genetic signature, and habitat fragmentation on survival of a sample of >300 radio-marked caribou from 1998-2008

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

The Right to Strike under the United States Constitution: Theory, Practice, and Possible Implications for Canada
No full textAnswering critics of the Canadian Supreme Court's judgment in B.C. Health, the author argues that the Court laid the foundation for a principled and durable doctrine protecting constitutional labour rights, one that goes directly to the heart of the matter — the inequality of workers’ power in the employment relation. In the author’s view, two paths could lead from B.C. Health to the recognition of Charter protec- tion for a right to strike: one that treats the right as an accessory to col- lective bargaining, and one that upholds the right directly on the basis of the Charter values of equality and participation. The author supports the latter approach, contending that constitutional rights should be defined in relation to fundamental values, in a way that is not contingent on time-bound or fact-sensitive assessments about the role of strikes within a particular collective bargaining regime. Although a Charter right to strike may involve the courts in difficult choices about when to defer to legislative policy decisions, and courts may lack the institutional capac- ity to deal effectively with labour law issues, the author points out that judges can look to ILO standards for expert guidance. Noting that the U.S. experience in this area might be of considerable use to Canadians, the author concludes by providing an overview of American case law concerning a constitutional right to strike.Peer reviewe
