Four typical pedons representing major mango growing soils, developed from granite gneiss parent material were studied for their morphological, physical and chemical properties. The soils were moderately shallow (50-75 cm) to very deep (>150 cm) in depth, loamy sand to sandy clay loam in texture, sub-angular blocky in structure, reddish brown to dark red in colour, slightly acidic to moderately alkaline in reaction, non-saline, very low to high in organic carbon content (0.09 to 1.29%), low AWC (3.36 to 7.80%), low to medium in cation exchange capacity (2.90 to 19.36 cmol (p+) kg-1) and high base saturation (78 to 98%). The soils also had high amounts of coarse fragments in P1 and P2 and high clay content in P4 and P2. Among the exchangeable cations, calcium was found to be high in most of the soils, followed by magnesium, sodium, and potassium. Based on the soil characteristics, the mango growing soils were classified as Typic Haplargids and Typic Paleargids in subgroup level. Varying soil and site characters i.e., poor rainfall, shallow soil depths, excess gravel contents, low AWC, poor nutrient status and severe soil erosion are limiting the growth and development of mango plantation. Developing site-specific soils based suitable management practices can improve the productivity of mango crops.

Gender differences in reading skills in english: a case study of 11th grade public school students in UAE
Authors: Maryam AlSereidi Ali Salem
Published: October 2021

This study aims to examine gender differences in reading skills (literal, inferential, critical, and appreciative) of 11th Grade students in public high schools in UAE and determine to what extent they are statistically significant. The survey uses a quantitative questionnaire about reading skills (literal, inferential, critical, and appreciative) in English. A total of 600 students (n = 300 male, n = 300 female) participated in this survey. A one-way ANOVA test is employed for data analysis. The results indicate that female students obtain higher mean scores (M = 3.54, SD =1.08) for reading practices with lower-level thinking skills (literal reading) and experience inferential and critical reading practices more than male students. However, they exhibit no significant difference in reading practices with lower-level thinking skills and inferential, critical, and appreciative reading skills in English. Future studies could extend this research domain to other countries in the Middle East with large student samples.

Test-taking Strategies of University of Cape Coast Students of French as a Foreign Language: a Case Study
Authors: De-Souza Anthony Yao Makafui
Published: October 2021

Test-taking strategies are tactics, techniques or moves that learners of a language adopt to enable them meet the requirements of test questions. Test-taking strategies are consciously adopted by learners whose success depends on their appropriateness and suitability to a specific task (Nikolov, 2006). Ghanaian students learn French as a foreign language. Thus, they are deprived of an environment where French is used. Their contact with the language is in the classroom and only during French lessons. Coupled with this disadvantage is the fact that these students are evaluated through test questions in French which equally demand answers in French. Each semester, a number of students score below average in various assessments in French. We can therefore assume that Ghanaian students of French as a foreign language deploy strategies that are not adequate enough in answering test questions in French. Against this background, this paper seeks to provide a description of test-taking strategies that may inform teaching and learning of French for better output in tests. Using recollective verbalization protocols, the study examines data gathered right after a French test by level 200 students.
Japanese Literature in Contemporary Hungary
Authors: Dalmi Katalin
Published: October 2021

This paper sheds light on the main trends in translation of Japanese literature in contemporary Hungary and theorize the role of Haruki Murakami’s works in making Japanese literature widely recognized. Firstly, the paper gives a general overview on translations of Japanese literature in Hungary in the post-1989 era. I argue that after a decline in translation in the 1990’s, the spread of anime and manga combined with the popularity of Haruki Murakami’s novels generated a growing interest in Japanese literature and culture in Hungary resulting in changed translation strategies. While translations were limited to pieces of the so-called junbungaku (pure literature) in the pre-1989 era, numerous pieces of taishūbungaku (popular literature) have been translated since the 2000’s, attracting a wider range of readers than ever. Based on book reviews from critics and readers published in traditional and social media, the second part of this paper will explore the main platforms of Japanese literature and analyze its reception. I argue that the magical realist setting combined with dialogues on fundamental questions of life create a specific literary mode which satisfy the Western readers’ desire for the exotic Other, ensuring the place of Japanese literature in the Western literary world.
Canon Breeds Canon
Authors: Serrano-Muñoz Jordi
Published: October 2021

In this article, I explore the relationship between the reproduction of hegemonic discourses of national representation in the reception of literature in translation and processes of canonization. I argue that World Literature as a paradigm hinders our efforts of overcoming the burdens of canonization. As a case study, I analyze the implications of building and reproducing a canon of Japanese literature in translation in the United States for the way Japan has been represented in public discourse in the last thirty years. I will focus on the reception of Murakami Haruki as the contemporary representative of the canon of Japanese literature in translation. My goal is to examine how the circumstances of Japanese literature in translation perpetuate mechanisms of canonization in their engagement and legitimation of an ongoing logic of representation that is non-confrontational with agents in power. I aim to test the extent to which studying the reception of East Asian literature in translation can help us promote a broader discussion on the appropriateness of such frameworks in our understanding of the contemporary literary phenomenon.

Increasing Gain Evaluation of 2×1 and 2×2 MIMO Microstrip Antennas
Authors: Dwairi M. O.
Published: October 2021

In this paper, a semi-circular ultra-wideband antenna has been modified according to the 2×1 and 2×2 MIMO scenarios. The proposed antennas were designed based on the FR-4 substrate material with dimensions of 36×50mm and 60×60mm for 2×1 and 2×2 scenarios respectively. Simulation results show that a gain improvement of the proposed MIMO antennas from 1 to 2.5dB has been achieved in comparison with the single patch antenna. The radiation pattern for the original and the proposed 2×2 MIMO antennas are exhibited. The main advantage of the proposed antennas is that the gain improves without the need to increase the operating power. This makes the proposed MIMO antennas suitable to be used for UWB antenna applications.
An Enhanced Electroporator Design for Pulse Generation
Authors: Pachamuthu S. , Najumnissa D. , Sankaranarayanan K. , Ramachandran R. P.
Published: October 2021

An electroporator is an instrument used for delivering electrical pulses to a tumor. In this work, an electroporator consisting of three main system blocks, namely High Voltage (HV) source, nanosecond (ns) switching, and pulse generation, was designed, developed, and evaluated to generate high voltage ns pulses to treat tumors. The high-voltage source block was used to convert the 9.6V DC from the battery to a variable HV output and store this charge for later use. The ns switching block contained a MOSFET-based low-side switch which applies short ns pulses to the load. The pulse generation block generates short ns pulses and supplies the adequate current to turn on the MOSFET at a quicker rate aiding the application of these pulses to the load. This process was simulated using PSpice software and the results are presented.

Authors: Chati T. , Rahmani K. , Naas T. T. , Rouibah A.
Published: October 2021

Heat and mass transfer in many systems are widely accomplished applying natural convection process due to their low cost, reliability, and easy support. Typical applications include different mechanisms in various fields such as (solar energy, solar distiller, stream cooling, etc…). Numerical results of turbulent natural convection and mass transfer in an open enclosure for different aspect ratios (AR = 0.5, 1, and 2) with a humid-air are carried out. Mass fraction and local Nusselt number were proposed to investigate the heat and mass transfer. A heat flux boundary conditions were subjected to the lateral walls and the bottom one make as an adiabatic wall, while the top area was proposed as a free surface. Effect of Rayleigh numbers (106≤????????≤108) on natural convection and mass flow behavior are analyzed. The governing equations are solved using CFD Fluent code based on the SIMPLE algorithm. The results showed that the cavity with an aspect ratio of AR = 2 has a significant enhancement to raise the rates of both heat and mass transfer. When the Rayleigh number increases, maximum heat transfer rates were observed due to the fluid flow becomes more vigorous. However, mass transfer improves as the Rayleigh number decreases.

Authors: Abbas I. H. , Ismael M. Q.
Published: October 2021

Pavement crack and pothole identification are important tasks in transportation maintenance and road safety. This study offers a novel technique for automatic asphalt pavement crack and pothole detection which is based on image processing. Different types of cracks (transverse, longitudinal, alligator-type, and potholes) can be identified with such techniques. The goal of this research is to evaluate road surface damage by extracting cracks and potholes, categorizing them from images and videos, and comparing the manual and the automated methods. The proposed method was tested on 50 images. The results obtained from image processing showed that the proposed method can detect cracks and potholes and identify their severity levels with a medium validity of 76%. There are two kinds of methods, manual and automated, for distress evaluation that are used to assess pavement condition. A committee of three expert engineers in the maintenance department of the Mayoralty of Baghdad did the manual assessment of a highway in Baghdad city by using a Pavement Condition Index (PCI). The automated method was assessed by processing the videos of the road. By comparing the automated with the manual method, the accuracy percentage for this case study was 88.44%. The suggested method proved to be an encouraging solution for identifying cracks and potholes in asphalt pavements and sorting their severity. This technique can replace manual road damage assessment.
A Hybrid Deep Learning and Optimized Machine Learning Approach for Rose Leaf Disease Classification
Authors: Nuanmeesri S.
Published: October 2021

Analysis of the symptoms of rose leaves can identify up to 15 different diseases. This research aims to develop Convolutional Neural Network models for classifying the diseases on rose leaves using hybrid deep learning techniques with Support Vector Machine (SVM). The developed models were based on the VGG16 architecture and early or late fusion techniques were applied to concatenate the output from a fully connected layer. The results showed that the developed models based on early fusion performed better than the developed models on either late fusion or VGG16 alone. In addition, it was found that the models using the SVM classifier had better efficiency in classifying the diseases appearing on rose leaves than the models using the softmax function classifier. In particular, a hybrid deep learning model based on early fusion and SVM, which applied the categorical hinge loss function, yielded a validation accuracy of 88.33% and a validation loss of 0.0679, which were higher than the ones of the other models. Moreover, this model was evaluated by 10-fold cross-validation with 90.26% accuracy, 90.59% precision, 92.44% recall, and 91.50% F1-score for disease classification on rose leaves.
THE GENDERED TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE IN THE FISH CAGE INDUSTRY: A CASE STUDY OF KAMPUNG TARITIPAN, KOTA MARUDU, SABAH
Authors: Tamothran Nivasini , Hussin Rosazam , Majid Cooke Fadzilah
Published: October 2021

Traditional knowledge has been thought by scholars in the recent past as consisting of cultural beliefs and traditions in a given community that has developed over time and has been passed from generation to generation. The development of knowledge has the potential to change the nature of gender relations within the community. Nevertheless, traditional knowledge has become more encompassing since it has been restructured by new forms of knowledge, from informal education to governance. There are also hesitations and critique that these changes made a realization that traditional knowledge is gendered. This paper provides an overview of the gendered traditional knowledge in the fish cage industry, especially the more well-known product of hybrid grouper fish (Epinephelus sp). In this context, the gendered knowledge was evident through the views men held about womens fisher knowledge. The major methods used in this study were in-depth interviews, focus-group discussion and participant observation at the fish cage culture in Kampung Taritipan, Kota Marudu.

PENGHAPUSAN ADAT RESAM MASYARAKAT DUSUN DI KIMANIS SEMASA PENTADBIRAN BRITISH NORTH BORNEO CHARTERED COMPANY 1881-1941
Authors: Dulkarim Afiratul Adawiyah , Hj Lukin @ Lokin Siti Aidah
Published: October 2021

Adat secara umumnya bermaksud kebiasaan dalam sesebuah masyarakat yang menjadi peraturan hidup dan hukumannya pula sesuai mengikut kesalahan masing-masing. Di Sabah, dahulunya masyarakat mengamalkan amalan tradisi dan adat warisan nenek moyang yang diketuai oleh Orang Tua dan ketua kampung. Pentadbiran di Sabah mengalami banyak perubahan lebih-lebih lagi semasa pentadbiran British North Borneo Chartered Company (BNBCC) pada tahun 1881. Perubahan ini akhirnya mendatangkan kesan khususnya terhadap adat resam masyarakat Dusun. Oleh itu, artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengenalpasti penghapusan adat resam semasa pemerintahan BNBCC terhadap masyarakat Dusun di Kimanis. Semasa pemerintahan Kesultanan Brunei di Sabah iaitu sebelum tahun 1881, amalan adat istiadat masyarakat Dusun tidak mengalami sebarang sekatan atau halangan malahan mereka bebas menjalani kehidupan sesuai dengan adat masing-masing. Kaedah kutipan data adalah melalui rujukan sumber primer dan sekunder yang boleh didapati di Arkib negeri Sabah dan perpustakaan negeri Sabah serta perpustakaan Universiti Malaysia Sabah. Sesi temu bual kepada Ketua Adat masyarakat Dusun di Kimanis juga dijalankan bagi mengenalpasti bentuk-bentuk adat yang telah dihapuskan semasa pentadbiran BNBCC. Melalui artikel ini, didapati bahawa pentadbiran BNBCC sememangnya menghapuskan sebahagian adat istiadat masyarakat Dusun Kimanis yang memberi kesan mendalam terhadap masyarakat Dusun ini pada masa kini.

Custom in general means the habit in a society that is the rule of life and the punishment is appropriate according to their respective offenses. In Sabah, people used to practice the traditions and customs of their ancestors, led by Orang Tua and village head. The Sabah administration had many changed especially during the administration of the British North Borneo Chartered Company, BNBCC in 1881. These alterations eventually gave some effects on the Dusun community customs. Therefore, this paper aims to identify the abolition of customs during the BNBCC rule against the Dusun community in Kimanis. During the reign of the Sultanate of Brunei in Sabah before 1881, the customs practices of the Dusun community did not experience any restrictions or obstacles but they were free to live their lives in accordance with their respective customs. The method of data collection is through the reference of primary and secondary sources that can be found in the Archives and libraries. An interview session was also conducted on the head of the Dusun customs in Kimanis to identify the forms of customs that had been removed. Through this paper, it is found that the BNBCC administration has indeed eliminated some of the Dusun customs that have a profound effect on the Dusun community today.

Findings indicate that social presence plays a particularly important role in virtual maker PL for participant engagement and learning. Virtual maker educators may experience moments of isolation, doubt and frustration which can be alleviated by making and learning in a community of practice in order to feel supported and sustained in the process.
Technology Use in Early Childhood Education
Authors: Zomer Nancy R , Kay Robin H
Published: October 2021

This paper provides a review of the literature from 2009 to 2014 on student use of technology in early childhood education. Previous efforts to synthesize the literature are somewhat dated, non-specific about age range, and focus almost exclusively on literacy. Thirty peer-reviewed articles from 11 countries, selected from a comprehensive search of the literature, were organized under five main categories: literacy, engagement, social interactions, mathematics, and miscellaneous topics. The overall effect size, based on only 12 studies and 33 measures was moderately high (d= 0.71, SD=0.60). Considerable qualitative and quantitative evidence indicated that technology had a significant impact on literacy development. Fewer studies, mostly qualitative in design and small in sample size, reported that technology had a positive impact on engagement, social interactions, and mathematics skills. A handful of studies provided qualitative evidence that technology had a positive impact on sequencing, visual perception, creative thinking, and fine motor capability. Methodological concerns included limited sample sizes and descriptions, not documenting the consistency and accuracy data of collection tools, the extent of adult intervention, and the limited range of technology tools used.
Clinical support to nursing community service practitioners in Ugu District, KwaZulu-Natal
Authors:   , Malunga Ignatia Tandiwe
Published: October 2021

Introduction: The shortage of skilled health professionals in public health care facilities is the main reason why compulsory community service was started by the South African government. The change in the disease pattern over the past two decades coupled with the mass exodus of health care professionals to overseas countries resulted in severe staff shortages especially in rural areas. Nursing community service practitioners (NCSPs) lack experience in dealing with complex clinical problems especially at primary health care level. They need experienced health professionals to offer clinical support to them. Aim of study: The aim of the study was to establish the degree of clinical support that is offered to NCSPs who are placed for compulsory community service within the Ugu district. Methodology: A qualitative study was conducted using an exploratory­ descriptive design. Purposive sampling was utilized to select eight NCSPs from a regional hospital and a community health centre. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and data was recorded verbatim for accurate analysis. Content analysis of data was employed where data was analyzed into meaningful themes. Results: The study revealed gaps in the clinical support offered to NCSPs. Lack of clinical support was reported more in the hospital than at the community health centre.·organizational problems such as lack of orientation, absence of in-service education and lack of proper rotation to different departments were some of the main concerns that were reported. Conclusion: Nursing community service practitioners need clinical support from experienced health professional to guide and teach them until they develop confidence.
The epidemiology of work-related musculoskeletal injuries among chiropractors in the eThekwini municipality
Authors:   , Lamprecht Almay
Published: October 2021

Background: Chiropractors are a unique group of health care professionals who are at risk for developing work-related musculoskeletal injuries. Diversity of daily practice imposes different physical demands on the chiropractor. The present study aims to determine the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal injuries in chiropractors in eThekwini municipality and selected risk factors associated with work-related musculoskeletal injuries. There are very few studies available that look at the chiropractor holistically in terms of work-related musculoskeletal injuries. However, these existing studies suggest that chiropractors are at a greater risk for the development of work-related musculoskeletal injuries. Method: The study design was a quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive study utilising a self- administered questionnaire, developed specifically for this research, using an expert group and pilot study. The questionnaire contained sections on personal as well as practice demographics, with questions pertaining to the single most severe work-related musculoskeletal injury, as well as the second and third most severe work-related musculoskeletal injury. Risk factors for work- related musculoskeletal injury were tested by using chi square in the case of categorical variables. In the event of violation of the expected frequencies, the Fisher’s exact test was used to obtain the p-value. Logistical regression was used to obtain odds rations in the presence of more than one explanatory variable. A p-value of <0.05 was used to indicate statistical significance. Results: Sixty-two chiropractors responded, giving a response rate of 64%. The life-time prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal injuries was 69%. A predominance of injuries to the upper extremity (50%) and lower back (28.3%) were recorded. The hand/wrist was the most common anatomical site of injury (31.5%) followed by the lower back. Number of years in practice was considered a risk factor for injury as most injuries occurred within the first five years of practice (41.6%). The likelihood of injury decreases with an increase in the number of years in practice. The majority of injuries affected the soft tissue, including ligament sprains (27.5%) and muscle strains (26.6%) and occurred while the practitioner was performing manipulation (38.2%) of the lumbosacral (80.77%) area with the patient in the side posture (61.53%). Conclusion: The results concur with other studies on work-related musculoskeletal injuries in chiropractors and add insight into risk factors predisposing this population to injury. Chiropractors need to understand the risk factors for occupational injury to implement strategies to avoid risk of injury.

Everyone agrees that smoking has a negative impact on health, including adolescents. The prevalence of adolescent smoking, which is still high, higher than the target of the Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Menengah Nasional (RPJMN), is a problem that has not been resolved from 2013 to the present. This problem solving difficulty is also driven by one of the elements of communication that occurs in adolescent smokers, namely cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance is a feeling of discomfort experienced by a person when cognitive elements in him collide or are inconsistent. Adolescent smokers with cognitive dissonance are faced with the fact that smoking is harmful to health, but their behavior is inconsistent with this knowledge. The efforts made by teenagers to reduce discomfort are carried out in various ways. This study discusses two ways or concepts used by adolescent smokers to reduce cognitive dissonance that occurs using a systematic review method of previous literatures. The first concept is compensatory health belief (CHB) and self-exempting belief.

Artikkelimme aiheena ovat Raja-Karjalan kouluolot 1800- ja 1900-lukujen vaihteessa. Laatokan pohjoispuolella sijainnut Raja-Karjala kuului Suomeen toiseen maailmansotaan saakka, mutta poikkesi muusta maasta kieleltään ja kulttuuriltaan, sillä sen väestö koostui pääosin karjalankielisistä ortodokseista. Vaikka karjala oli Raja-Karjalassa enemmistön äidinkieli, sitä ei käytetty alueen kouluissa opetuskielenä vaan opetusta annettiin Suomen itsenäistymiseen saakka suomeksi ja venäjäksi ja Suomen itsenäistymisen jälkeen yksinomaan suomeksi. Koulujen opetuskielet kertovat paitsi Raja-Karjalan sijainnista poliittisesti herkällä raja-alueella myös rajaseudun asukkaiden kielellisen ja kulttuurisen erityislaadun unohtamisesta. Artikkelissa selvitämme, mitä Raja-Karjalan kouluoloista 1800-luvun lopulla ja 1900-luvun alussa tiedetään historiantutkimuksen ja muun kirjallisuuden valossa sekä millaisia koulumuistoja rajakarjalaistaustaiset itse ovat esittäneet 1960-luvulla taltioiduissa murrehaastatteluissa.
Kiistelty oppivelvollisuus
Authors: Ahonen Sirkka
Published: October 2021

Oppivelvollisuuslaki säädettiin vuonna 1921 antamaan 7–12-vuotiaille lapsille perhetaustasta ja asuinalueesta riippumaton oikeus opetukseen ja velvollisuus nauttia sitä. Vuonna 1968 säädetty peruskoulu-uudistus laajensi oppivelvollisuuden 16-vuotiaisiin asti. Vuonna 2020 eduskunta päätti ulottaa oppivelvollisuuden aina 18-vuotiaisiin asti. Oppivelvollisuus on vuosien 1920, 1968 ja 2020 eduskuntakeskusteluissa ollut yhteisen tahdon kohde mutta samalla myös koetus. Yhteiskunnallisten ja pedagogisten aatteiden törmäykset ovat tulkittavissa valtiopäiväasiakirjoista ja aikalaisteksteistä. Vuonna 1920 elettiin sisällissodan jälkitunnelmissa ja sekä oikeiston että vasemmiston laidoilla epäiltiin koko kansan yhteisen ja yhtäläisen koulutuksen suotavuutta. Oikeiston vanhoillinen siipi pelkäsi liian opin johtavan yhteiskunnalle vaarallisten aatteiden omaksumiseen, ja jyrkin vasemmisto puolestaan kavahti kansakouluopetuksen yksipuolista kristillis-isänmaallista arvopohjaa. Oppivelvollisuus toteutui lähinnä Kansallisen Edistyspuolueen ja Maalaisliiton muodostaman keskustan ponnistuksen ansiosta. Oppositio liitätti lakiin varauksia, joiden takia syrjäseuduilla asuvat ja tarpeiltaan erityiset lapset voitiin jättää vaille koulunkäyntimahdollisuutta, ja oppivelvollisuusiän jälkeisille kahdelle ikäluokalle säädetyt jatkoluokat jäivät maaseutukunnissa usein toteuttamatta. Peruskoulun puitelaki vuonna 1968 korjasi koulutuksen yhdenvertaisuuteen liittyviä puutteita ja laajensi oppivelvollisuutta kolmella ikävuodella. Vuonna 2020 säädetty laki laajensi oppivelvollisuutta edelleen kahdella vuodella. Laajennukset kohtasivat eduskunnassa pelkoja ja odotuksia, jotka olivat paljolti kaikuja 1920-luvun alun ja 1960-luvun lopun koulutuspoliittisista keskusteluista
Oppivelvollisuuskoulu yhteiskunnallisten viiteongelmien ratkaisukeinona

Sanna Marinin hallituksen ohjelmaan kirjattu tavoite oppivelvollisuuden laajentamisesta kattamaan myös toinen aste on herättänyt julkisessa keskustelussa kannanottoja puolesta ja vastaan. Esitetyt argumentit heijastelevat käsityksiä oppivelvollisuuden laajentamisen mahdollisista hyödyistä ja haitoista. Tässä tutkimuksessa oppivelvollisuuden toteutumista tarkastellaan haastattelutiedon valossa. Haastateltavat ovat eri-ikäisiä ja erilaisista taustoista tulevia mutta heitä yhdistää kokemus vaikeuksista ylittää koulun vuorovaikutuksen kynnyksiä, joko saavuttaa, ymmärtää tai hyväksyä yhteiskunnan heihin kohdistamia odotuksia. Tutkimus oppivelvollisuuskoulun vuorovaikutuksen ongelmista pyrkii lisäämään ymmärrystä tietämättömyyden yhteiskunnallisista seurauksista. Oppivelvollisuutta tarkastellaan Luhmannin systeemiteorian mukaisesti kansalaisten sivistämisen ja urille valikoitumisen keinona, jolla on käytännön seurauksia yksilöiden elämänkulussa. Tutkimustulokset tukevat näkemystä, että oppivelvollisuuskoulun vuorovaikutuksen perustana tulisi olla episteemisen oikeudenmukaisuuden vaade.
Estimating Oil Sands Emissions using Horizontal Path-Integrated Column Measurements

Abstract. Improved technologies and approaches to reliably measure and quantify fugitive greenhouse gas emissions from oil sands operations are needed to accurately assess emissions and develop mitigation strategies that minimize the cost-impact of future production. While several methods have been explored, the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of emissions from oil sand mines and tailings ponds suggests an ideal approach would continuously sample an area of interest with spatial and temporal resolution high enough to identify and apportion emissions to specific areas/locations within the measurement footprint. In this work we demonstrate a novel approach to estimating greenhouse gas emissions from oil sands tailings ponds and open-pit mines. The approach utilizes the GreenLITE™ gas concentration measurement system, which employs a laser absorption spectroscopy-based, open-path, integrated column measurement in conjunction with an inverse dispersion model to estimate methane (CH4) emission rates from an oil sands facility located in the Athabasca region of Alberta, Canada. The system was deployed for extended periods of time in the summer of 2019 and spring of 2020. CH4 emissions from a tailings pond were estimated to be 7.2 t/day for Jul–Oct 2019, and 5.1 t/day for Mar–Jul 2020. CH4 emissions from an open-pit mine were estimated to be 24.6 t/day for Sep–Oct 2019. Descriptions of the measurement system, measurement campaigns, emission retrieval scheme, and emission results are provided.
