A tour from the City of New-York, to Detroit, in the Michigan Territory, made between the 2d of May and the 22d of September, 1818 : the tour extends from New-York, by Albany, Schenectady, and Utica to Sacket's Harbor, and thence throught Lake Ontario, to St. Lawrence river, and down that stream to Hamilton village. Thence along both banks of the St. Lawrence, from Hamilton to the Thousand Islands; thence to Sacket's Harbor by water; from that place by the route of great Sodus, Geneva, Cananaigua and Batavia, to Buffalo; and from thence to Black Rock, Fort Erie, the Falls of Niagara, Queenston, Lewiston, and the memorable fields of Bridgewater and Chippewa after viewing the interesting place of Niagara, the author traversed the south shore of Lake Erie to the City of Detroit, and visited in the latter range, Dunkirk, Erie, Cleveland, Sandusky, and other places of less note. The tour is accompanied with a map upon which the route will be designated; a particular map of the Falls andRiver of Niagara, and the environs of the City of Detroit /

The investigation of edge effects within ragmented forest islands in Short Hills Provincial Park

It has been well documented, within the field of landscape ecology, that terrestrial fragmentation contributes to increased heterogeneity at the landscape level. It has also been observed that elevated areas of edge habitat occur within fragmented landscapes. Spatial and temporal edge effects were investigated in four areas designated as Nature Reserve Zones within Short Hills Provincial Park, near St. Catharines, Ontario. Random sampling along exposed edges was performed on trees and saplings, at 5 and 25 ill edge depths, using the point-centred quarter method. Diameter at breast height (dbh) and distance from point measurements were used to establish relative density, dominance, frequency and importance value. One-way analyses of variance were used on dbh measurements of tree species and Chi-Square contingency tables were used on size class distributions of saplings species to determine significant differences between 5 and 25 metres. Qualitative comparisons of importance values were also used to determine differences between 5 and 25 metres as well as between trees and saplings. These statistical and qualitative comparisons suggest that a significant overall spatial edge effect is currently exhibited by fragmented wooded islands within the park. The major species of the park, Acersaccharuln, may be exhibiting a temporal edge effect. The heterogeneous nature of the park may be of importance in understanding this area as a complex, ecological system. It is possible that the remaining forest tracts of the park have been affected, and continue to be affected by previous disturbances. Based on these findings, recommendations are made to the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources concerning the management of Short Hills Provincial Park in accordance with their 1990 proposed Management Plan.

Études des fuites excitoniques dans des familles de boîtes quantiques d'InAs/InP par PLRT par addition de fréquences

Ce mémoire porte sur les mécanismes de relaxation et de fuite des excitons dans des systèmes de boîtes quantiques(BQs) d’InAs/InP. Les systèmes sont composés d’un sub- strat volumique d’InP, appelé matrice (M), d’un puits quantique d’InAs, nommé couche de mouillage (CM), et des familles de BQs d’InAs. La distinction entre les familles est faite par le nombre de monocouche d’épaisseur des boîtes qui sont beaucoup plus larges que hautes. Une revue de littérature retrace les principaux mécanismes de relaxation et de fuite des excitons dans les systèmes. Ensuite, différents modèles portant sur la fuite thermique des excitons des BQs sont comparés. Les types de caractérisations déjà produites et les spécifications des croissances des échantillons sont présentés. L’approche adoptée pour ce mémoire a été de caractériser temporellement la dynamique des BQs avec des mesures d’absorbtion transitoire et de photoluminescence résolue en temps (PLRT) par addition de fréquences. L’expérience d’absorption transitoire n’a pas fait ressortir de résultats très probants, mais elle est expliquée en détails. Les mesures de PLRT ont permis de suivre en température le temps de vie effectif des excitons dans des familles de BQs. Ensuite, avec un modèle de bilan détaillé, qui a été bien explicité, il a été possible d’identifier le rôle de la M et de la CM dans la relaxation et la fuite des excitons dans les BQs. Les ajustements montrent plus précisément que la fuite de porteurs dans les BQs se fait sous la forme de paires d’électrons-trous corrélées.

Petrography, Geochemistry and Diagenesis of Coral Deposits of Kavaratti and Minicoy Islands, Lakshadweep, India

In the present thesis the petrographic, geochemical and digenetic variability of the sediments in the islands of Kavaratti and Minicoy has been investigated .The beach profile studies show that in the Kavaratti lagoon beach, the slope is steeper in the southern and south central part than in the northern end’s marginal deposition is taking place in the northern end of the Kavaratti island, whereas a marginal erosion is observed at the southern end. In Minicoy the slope of the lagoon beach is gentle in the south and is slightly steeper at the northern part of the beach. The southern and northern beach sections show a marginal deposition. Based on the mineralogical and geochemical studies it is concluded that the main digenetic changes observed is the transformation of aragonite to LMC.The transformation takes place mainly in the vadose zone and is caused by the abundance of fresh water infiltration.
