To know the history of the Pilgrim Trust is to also know Britain’s response to several of its greatest challenges of the twentieth century. Still in operation today, the Pilgrim Trust directly engaged at both national and ...
GEOTECHNICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE BEARPAW SHALE
(2010-01-29)
This research takes a multidisciplinary approach to comprehensively investigate the material and mechanical properties as well as pore water chemistry of the Bearpaw shale. This made it possible to characterize how these ...
Hydrated Sodium-Magnesium Sulfate Minerals Associated with Inland Saline Systems
(2010-09-16)
Hydrated sodium-magnesium sulfate minerals are common in many continental evaporite settings around the world. The crystallization sequence of these minerals depends on such parameters as the composition of the parent ...
Multibranched rangeomorphs from the Ediacaran Mistaken Point assemblage, Newfoundland, Canada
(2010-02-10)
Rangeomorphs are a distinct group of millimeter- to meter-scale soft-bodied macrofossils that are restricted to the latter half of the late Neoproterozoic Ediacaran Period (635Ma- 542Ma). These fossils represent an extinct ...

Parents and Special Educators' Perspectives on the Sexuality Educational Needs of Learners with Intellectual Developmental Disabilities in Ghanaian Special Schools
Despite the global efforts towards the inclusion of persons with disabilities in societies, Ghana's Educational Strategic Program is yet to include sexuality education for learners with intellectual developmental disabilities ...
Structural style and timing of deformation on the Bathurst fault in the eastern Slave craton, western Nunavut, Canada
Crustal-scale basement faults persist as long-lived structures that localize deformation and can enhance permeability in the Earth’s crust. The NNW-striking left-lateral Bathurst fault in the eastern Slave craton displaces ...
