16b.6 Implementation and Application of the Ef-scale in Canada
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several attempts to improve the F-scale and its use were made. For example, Fujita began to move toward a rating matrix based on types of construction (Fujita 1992). Following on this work by Fujita, Sills et al. (2004) developed an F-scale rating matrix with 20 DIs that was used both operationally and to generate an updated 19802009 tornado climatology for Canada (Sills et al. 2012). However, the F-scale wind speed bias was never addressed.

Background and purpose: Nitrate contamination in aqueous solution has become an increasingly serious environmental problem. Hence, in this study removal of nitrate in aqueous solution was reviewed using electrocoagulation (EC) and electro-fenton (EF) processes for Fe electrodes. Materials and methods: In the present study, an EC and EF reactor in a lab scale to an approximate volume of 1 liter...

متن کاملEvaluating the Implementation and Feasibility of a Web-Based Tool to Support Timely Identification and Care for the Frail Population in Primary Healthcare Settings
Background Understanding and addressing the needs of frail persons is an emerging health priority for Nova Scotia and internationally. Primary healthcare (PHC) providers regularly encounter frail persons in their daily clinical work. However, routine identification and measurement of frailty is not standard practice and, in general, there is a lack of awareness about how to identify and respond...
متن کاملUsing Complexity to Simplify Knowledge Translation; Comment on “Using Complexity and Network Concepts to Inform Healthcare Knowledge Translation”
Putting health theories, research and knowledge into practice is a challenge referred to as the knowledge-toaction gap. Knowledge translation (KT), and its related concepts of knowledge mobilization, implementation science and research impact, emerged to mitigate this gap. While the social interaction view of KT has gained currency, scholars have not easily made a link between KT and the concep...

The susceptibility to Terbacil of six randomly selected strawberry cultivars (‘Aromas’, ‘Chambly’, ‘Harmonie’, ‘Kent’, ‘La Clé des Champs’ and ‘Seascape’) was analysed using chlorophyll florescence (CF) in comparison with visual observation, in an attempt to develop a method for use in a breeding programme to select herbicide-resistant strawberry lines. Terbacil was applied at one of five rates...
