The dynamics of 12 elements in decomposing leaf litter of jack pine (Pinusbanksiana Lamb.), paper birch (Betulapapyrifera Marsh.), trembling aspen (Populustremuloides Michx.), and northern pin oak (Quercusellipsoidalis E.J. Hill) were examined on a Typic Udipsamment (Orthic Regosol) in northwestern Wisconsin. Whereas the concentrations and absolute amounts of N, Ca, S, Zn, Mn, Fe, Cu, and Al generally increased after 1 year of decomposition, the levels of P, K, Mg, and B in decomposing leaf litter decreased. Two-way analysis of variance tests revealed significant differences in dry matter and concentrations and contents of most elements as a function of species and time elapsed. Macronutrients commonly were released from decomposing leaf litter in the following order (fastest to slowest): aspen > oak = birch > pine. The changes in N, P, Ca, and S in decomposing leaf litter generally followed the three-phase process described for N by other investigators. A cubic function described the initial-loss, accumulation, and final-release phases of these nutrients in decomposing leaf litter.

AbstractIn this paper, due to the importance of maintaining a secure grip with the control hand in kayaking, a simple three phase process is presented for the massive development of personalized grips which allow the improvement of this handgrip. This process consists of obtaining the 3D geometry of the paddler's handgrip by using Reverse Engineering (RE) tools, designing the grip from the obtained 3D geometry by using Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools and manufacturing the grip by using Additive Manufacturing (AM) tools. Therefore, this paper shows that the RE, CAD and AM tools available today allow the customization of products for many applications.

Construction firms attempt to estimate building information modeling (BIM) return on investment (ROI) to confirm whether BIM effects are sufficiently positive to satisfy decision-makers. Previous studies have presented the ROI in various ways, but a more definitive answer is required to consider possible various effects. Therefore, this study proposes a framework for an integrated BIM ROI, a simple, easy-to-understand, and practical tool that is established from substantive requirements from experts in the construction field. The framework consists of a three-phase process including a total of 11 steps. These phases are assessment planning, primary BIM ROI based on preventing rework, and integrated BIM ROI. Based on the proposed framework, an actual effect analysis of BIM project was conducted and the suitability of the methodology was discussed. The results of applying the framework showed that the primary ROI based on prevented rework costs was about 167.8% and the integrated BIM ROI to consider the overall effect of applying BIM was about 476.72%. In addition, the expert’s discussion confirmed that the framework can be employed as a practical means to evaluate BIM performance. This framework can be provided as a guideline to present an integrated BIM effect and assist to efficiently BIM application.

If all goes according to the latest plan, “free and honest” municipal elections will have been held in Haiti's capital of Port-au-Prince on August 14, capping a three-phase process that began in the provinces six months ago. Can a quarter-century-old dictatorship hold “free” elections? What are the advantages of staggered balloting in a country the size of Maryland and with a mere five million inhabitants?Plans for any type of election in a poverty-stricken, politically repressed island nation ruled by a “president for- life” are subject to skepticism. Yet an analysis of the “elections” may indicate something of the mood of Haiti's citizens and also reveal the nature of a regime that claims to be a “bulwark against communism” in the Caribbean and Central America.On April 22, 1982, Jean-Claude (“Baby Doc“) Duvalier was commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of Duvalierist rule and wishing his subjects many more years of the same, when he dropped a bombshell.

ABSTRACTEmergency medicine (EM) training programs incorporate simulation for teaching as well as formative and summative assessment. The development of a simulation curriculum for Canadian postgraduate EM programs is underway and would be facilitated by a standardized, user-friendly, nationally endorsed simulation template. We convened a nationally representative group of simulation educators to participate in a three-phase process to develop and refine a simulation case template for Canadian EM educators. Participants provided feedback by means of free text comments and focus groups which were analyzed to inform modification of the template. We anticipate that this template will facilitate the sharing of cases across sites and the development of standardized cases for simulation-based assessment.

The mesotrajectory is presented as a three-phase process of the development of mesopopulations: emergence (origination), diffusion (acceptance, assimilation and adaptation) and retention of a new rule (innovation). The central category of the NIS, i.e. knowledge, is considered from two positions: as a set of specific rules and as the most critical innovation resource. The proposed methodology also describes the three phases of mesostructure dividing each of them into two series–parallel sub-phases and incorporating them in the design of niches, technological and market ones. The methodology allows specifying the effect of the evolutionary selection and intermittent development of meso-units in the first two phases, as well as the mechanisms of changing the socio-technological regime in the third phase. The study set and analyse policy for creating motivation for innovative behaviour at different phases of the mesotrajectory. The actors’ mesopopulation are represented as carriers of the properties of knowledge-rules-resources. The knowledge of the actor is taking into account not only as a rule but a factor breaking the mesotrajectory. Among other characteristics of mesotrajectory discontinuity, intermittent equilibrium is taken into consideration in the study. The problem of regulating trajectory continuity is analysed in the framework of public policy.
