Quasi-periodic Fast Propagating Magnetoacoustic Waves during the Magnetic Reconnection Between Solar Coronal Loops
Authors: Li Leping , Zhang Jun , Peter Hardi , Chitta Lakshmi Pradeep , Su Jiangtao , Song Hongqiang , Xia Chun , Hou Yijun
Published: November 2018

Employing Solar Dynamics Observatory/Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) multi-wavelength images, we have presented coronal condensations caused by magnetic reconnection between a system of open and closed solar coronal loops. In this Letter, we report the quasi-periodic fast magnetoacoustic waves propagating away from the reconnection region upward across the higher-lying open loops during the reconnection process. On 2012 January 19, reconnection between the higher-lying open loops and lower-lying closed loops took place, and two sets of newly reconnected loops formed. Thereafter, cooling and condensations of coronal plasma occurred in the magnetic dip region of higher-lying open loops. During the reconnection process, disturbances originating from the reconnection region propagate upward across the magnetic dip region of higher-lying loops with the mean speed and mean speed amplitude of 200 and 30 km s−1, respectively. The mean speed of the propagating disturbances decreases from ∼230 km s−1 to ∼150 km s−1 during the coronal condensation process, and then increases to ∼220 km s−1. This temporal evolution of the mean speed anti-correlates with the light curves of the AIA 131 and 304 Å channels that show the cooling and condensation process of coronal plasma. Furthermore, the propagating disturbances appear quasi-periodically with a peak period of 4 minutes. Our results suggest that the disturbances represent the quasi-periodic fast propagating magnetoacoustic (QFPM) waves originating from the magnetic reconnection between coronal loops.
La force du baratin
Authors: de Lara Philippe
Published: November 2018

Tocqueville a montré que la démocratie moderne présentait un risque de conformisme, de relativisme et de crédulité. Aujourd’hui, on peut distinguer une post-vérité déprimée, celle des jeunes qui peinent à comprendre le monde et se tournent vers les théories du complot, et une post-vérité arrogante, celle du poutinisme, qui associe le dépérissement du droit, la guerre de propagande et le baratin – et dont l’Europe n’est pas exempte.
Démocratie suicidaire
Authors: Dorlin Elsa
Published: November 2018

Les démocraties libérales renoncent de plus en plus au commun qui les fonde à cause de leur nécro-politique, qui associe l’état d’exception et la relation d’inimitié, l’encampement mortifère du monde au nom de la démocratie.
Monde zéro, accélération et inimitié
Authors: Coquio Catherine
Published: November 2018

La machine technologique et la colonisation ont produit une accélération qui détruit la conscience historique et la vie politique. La reprise du thème par Achille Mbembe, poussé par l’anthropocène, oscille entre la description de l’histoire et le catastrophisme, entre l’utopie et l’apocalypse.
La transparence comme nouvel horizon des démocraties européennes
Authors: Robert Cécile
Published: November 2018

Interrogeant le succès des politiques de transparence dans les États membres et les institutions de l’UE, cet article revient d’abord sur les éléments qui ont contribué, depuis une vingtaine d’années, à renouveler la légitimité mais aussi le sens de ce mot d’ordre : sa promotion par les organisations internationales, le développement des technologies numériques, son affinité avec les réformes néo-managériales et leur critique des démocraties représentatives. Il en identifie ensuite différents usages : ces derniers en effet servent des stratégies variées, voire adverses, de (re)légitimation, de communication, de contrôle ou encore de mise en scandale, fonction notamment des positions – objets, utilisateurs, gardiens de la transparence – occupées par les promoteurs de celle-ci. L’article esquisse enfin une réflexion sur leurs effets : entre défense de la transparence et nouveaux droits au secret, comment se reconfigurent la production de, et l’accès à, la connaissance ? Quelles transformations la transparence favorise-t-elle des façons de construire l’action publique ?
Traduire la transparence aux niveaux nationaux
Authors: Vargovčíková Jana
Published: November 2018

Cet article s’intéresse aux rôles respectifs des acteurs nationaux et transnationaux dans l’élaboration des réglementations du lobbying. Il repose sur une enquête auprès des acteurs clés de ces réglementations en Pologne et en République tchèque, ainsi que sur l’analyse des travaux parlementaires et consultations interministérielles entre 2002 et 2017. Il montre ainsi comment, en l’absence de contraintes extérieures sur la question, ce sont les divergences entre les acteurs nationaux qui façonnent leurs traductions de modèles étrangers. Le recours généralisé aux instruments de la transparence comme solutions est dû quant à lui à une combinaison complexe de facteurs nationaux et externes.
Twenty-five years of access to documents in the Council of the EU
Authors: Hillebrandt Maarten
Published: November 2018

Jusqu’en 1992, l’institution européenne la plus ‘intergouvernementale’ était bien connue pour son caractère secret. On affirme fréquemment qu’au cours des vingt-cinq dernières années, le Conseil est devenu beaucoup plus transparent du fait de pressions externes. Cependant, cette façon de caractériser le Conseil comme une institution hostile à la transparence et qui aurait été submergée par les tenants de la transparence est trop simple. Cet article reprend la contribution de Meijer (2013) pour définir la politique de transparence du Conseil selon trois niveaux: stratégique, cognitif et institutionnel. Grâce à cette approche, il est possible de mieux comprendre comment par des méthodes complexes, fragmentées et imbriquées, le Conseil a parfois encouragé mais aussi parfois limité les tentatives de développer la transparence.
Melorheostosis of The Leg: A Case Report
Authors: Alothman Maram , Alkhamees Layla , Al Subaie Ahmed M
Published: November 2018

Melorheostosis is a benign hyperostotic disease of the peripheral skeleton, rarely involving the axial skeleton. This disease is associated with ossified and non-ossified soft tissue masses surrounding the joints. We report the case of a 28-year-old male who presented to an orthopedic clinic with a chronic history of right leg pain. Radiological evaluation using X-ray, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging showed features consistent with that of melorheostosis. Recognition of this entity by clinicians can avoid unnecessary investigations and biopsy.

Les enfants d’abord ? La prise en charge médico-légale des mineurs entre soin et expertise
Authors: Juston Romain
Published: November 2018

Les examens médico-légaux sur mineurs constituent un cas limite des expertises en médecine légale, car ils déstabilisent la dichotomie soin/constat selon laquelle le travail thérapeutique doit s’effacer derrière l’expertise des corps violentés. Ces expertises pédiatriques rendent alors saillant un débat structurant en médecine légale autour du choix des professionnels ayant mandat pour réaliser des actes sur réquisitions judiciaires. Les pédiatres considèrent devoir avoir voix au chapitre dès lors que la prise en charge des enfants nécessite des soins et du dépistage. Manifestant un parti-pris pédiatrique, les pédiatres légistes reprochent aux réquisitions de fermer les opérations médico-légales sur les actes de constats, là où leur expertise est aussi celle de pédiatres spécialistes des enfants. En plaçant « les enfants d’abord », ils entendent traiter de problématiques spécifiquement pédiatriques sans rabattre les examens des personnes mineures sur le seul plan des expertises. À partir d’une enquête ethnographique auprès de ces professionnels, l’article montre que la formation à la spécialité pédiatrique imprime une marque durable sur l’exercice de l’expertise médico-légale envers les mineurs, laquelle met alors le travail médico-légal en tension entre une exigence d’administration de la preuve et un souci thérapeutique.
De l’hôpital à la maison : le travail invisible des enfants et de leurs parents dans leurs trajectoires thérapeutiques
Authors: Pluies Julie
Published: November 2018

Cet article questionne les liens entre parcours de soins et histoires de vies enfantines et parentales. À partir d’un terrain mené dans un service public de pédopsychiatrie et au domicile des patients et de leurs familles dans une grande ville marocaine, j’interroge les conditions de l’apprentissage de compétences à l’hôpital et leur transférabilité au domicile familial. Basant ma problématique sur le concept d’activités thérapeutiques, qu’elles soient biomédicales, complémentaires ou domestiques, je mets en lumière les logiques et les pratiques des soins élaborées par les enfants, les parents et les professionnels de santé ou thérapeutes. Le temps passé, de 2013 à 2015, à observer, échanger et vivre au quotidien avec les familles, m’invite à penser que les parcours biographiques parentaux et enfantins conditionnent la transférabilité des compétences et l’amélioration de situations de souffrance.
Le TDA/H, un diagnostic qui agite les familles. Les quêtes diagnostiques autour d’enfants agités, entre rupture et continuité
Authors: Béliard Aude , Eideliman Jean-Sébastien , Fansten Maïa , Jiménez-Molina Álvaro , Mougel Sarra , Planche Maëlle
Published: November 2018

Cet article porte sur les liens entre problèmes de santé et trajectoires sociales. À travers l’exemple d’enfants diagnostiqués TDA/H, il met au cœur de l’analyse les quêtes diagnostiques qui les entourent, c’est-à-dire la recherche de sens et de solutions que les jeunes et leur entourage mènent pour faire face à leurs difficultés. Cette quête peut prendre des directions variées, car elle se déploie en fonction des caractéristiques et trajectoires sociales passées (genre, milieu social, configuration familiale…), mais aussi d’enjeux présents qui nécessitent de s’organiser au quotidien et de prendre des décisions pour l’avenir (en matière de scolarité, d’éducation, de traitement…). S’appuyant sur 45 entretiens menés auprès d’enfants et/ou de membres de leur entourage, l’article met en lumière les déterminants des variations de ces quêtes diagnostiques particulièrement longues et complexes, mais qui éclairent les ressorts des manières de faire face à de nombreux problèmes de santé.

This makes the software highly appealing, as it is able to keep up with the demands of a growing number of varied business structures. Standard software has been SAS and Python; however, a growing number of jobs are posted looking for experience using R in the data analytics field.
Integral Post-Analysis of Design-Based Research of an Organizational Learning Process for Strategic Renewal of Environmental Management
Authors: Bres A. Faye
Published: November 2018

This chapter is based on a design-based research study of organizational learning and on a subsequent integral analysis of how and why organizational learning did, and did not, occur in the study. Integral theory is applied to deepen the understanding of how human organizations learn and adapt as complex adaptive systems made up of nested, operationally closed groups and individuals. The level of development and learning potential of an organization, as holon, can be understood as an emergent property resulting from the coordination of function and action of the unities that make up the system, even given that the levels of development and learning potentials of the groups and individuals in an organization are not consistent across the organization. The advantages of combining complexity and integral theory are explored, as both are understood to provide different, complementary interpretations of whole human systems.
Building Futures
Authors: Hastie Megan
Published: November 2018

As momentum builds around the fourth industrial revolution, it is imperative that schools equip the youth of today to succeed in the workforce of tomorrow. The use of smart learning environments (SLE) is an optimal way to prepare students for the future because the use of innovative technologies and elements allow for greater flexibility, effectiveness and adaption, engagement, motivation, and feedback for the learner. It is envisioned that the “smart” learners of the future will operate in SLE that are contextual, personalized, and seamless. The learning process in the SLE will facilitate their problem solving and promote their intellectual growth as lifelong learners. This study, then, demonstrates how educational robotics can be used by educators to equip students in the UAE for futures in STEM fields of study and work. It is claimed that students who build robots build futures for themselves and their communities: a worthy goal for Emirati students in 2018, The Year of Zayed.
Smart Interactive Game-Based System for Preschools in Tanzania
Authors: Ongoro Catherine Akoth , Mwangoka Joseph Wynn
Published: November 2018

Academia across the globe is increasingly integrating smart education into learning that describes digitized interactive technologies with elements of motivation, engagement, and feedback. This chapter presents an intelligent and interactive system using alphabetical sounds using game mechanics for preschoolers in Tanzania. Generally, it has been reported that preschoolers often experience trouble in articulating alphabetical sounds. At present, the mode of teaching alphabetical sounds differs in every preschool, resulting in a lack of standardization. This makes adaptation to a new preschool system problematic, especially in situations where a preschooler is transferred from one kindergarten to another. A smart research framework on the interactive game-based system and attributes of active learning were taken into account to uphold intelligent ways to enable language competency for preschoolers in Tanzania. A study was conducted in Tanganyika preschool in Arusha, Tanzania, which presented initial results of preschoolers' perception of the intelligent interactive game-based system.

An Improved Modeling for Network Selection Based on Graph Theory and Cost Function in Heterogeneous Wireless Systems
Authors: Lahby Mohamed , Essouiri Ayoub , Sekkaki Abderrahim
Published: November 2018

The next generation of mobile wireless communications represents a heterogeneous environment which integrates variety of network generation like third generation (3G), fourth generation (4G), and fifth generation (5G). The major challenge in this heterogeneous environment is to decide which access point to use when multiple networks are available. Process of roaming mobile user from one technology to anther different is called vertical handover. In this chapter, the authors propose a new mechanism based on graph theory and cost function in order to determine the best path for the end user in terms of quality of service (QoS) when the vertical handover process is needed. Then, they investigate the impact of some existing weighting methods in order to determine the suitable method which can be coupled with the cost function. The experiments evaluation by using Mininet emulator demonstrate that the proposed approach can achieve a significant improvement concerning four QoS metrics: throughput, packet lost, packet delay, and packer jitter for two services FTP and video streaming.
JSON-LD as an Interchange Technology to Facilitate Health Information Exchange
Authors: Kaukinen Daniel L.
Published: November 2018

Sharing information between medical records to form a comprehensive electronic health record leads to effective health management. However, full implementation of an electronic health record has met various barriers including companies wanting to protect their proprietary data storage formats and resisting conversion to a common data exchange format. Through the development of prototype systems, this article investigates the use of JSON-LD as an interpreter to aid in data interchange and data encapsulation. The prototypes demonstrate that JSON-LD can be applied, with nominal code changes, to an existing electronic medical record system employing JSON as a serialization protocol. This article concludes that JSON-LD works as an efficient wrapper that, when well designed, allows for simplified and robust consumption from and serving of data to other JSON-LD enabled medical systems, thereby elevating the usability and effective interconnectivity of new and existing electronic medical record systems.
Cascading Workflow of Healthcare Services
Authors: Osial Phillip , Kim Arnold , Kauranen Kalle
Published: November 2018

Despite rapid advancements in technology, the healthcare industry is known to lag behind when it comes to adopting new changes. Most often, when a new technology such as CPOE or EHR systems presents themselves in the healthcare industry, clinicians are left struggling to keep up with their workloads while learning to adjust a new workflow. Instead of disrupting the clinician's clinical workflow, the authors propose a system for transforming clinical narratives presented in the form of discharge summaries from the i2b2 Natural Language Processing dataset into a standardized order set. The proposed system uses natural language processing techniques based on Scala, which extracts discharge summary information about a patient and is proven to be highly scalable. The goal of this system is to increase interoperability between CPOE systems by performing further transformations on the extracted data. The authors adhere to HL7's FHIR standards and use JSON as the primary medical messaging format, which is used both in the US and international healthcare industry organizations and companies.

Published: November 2018

Across different geographical and industrial boundaries, different firms are attempting to implement sustainability in their supply chain in response to pressures from different groups. This article aims at identifying and analyzing influential practices for implementing sustainable supply chain management (SSCM). By determining these practices, top management can focus on them in order to improve the performance of their supply chains. The petrochemical industry was selected because of its role in the Iranian economy and its considerable environmental and social impacts. The interpretive structural modeling (ISM) technique was used as a useful technique to identify interrelations between different sustainable practices. According to the results, set up reduction and pull production system (related to JIT practices) are driving other practices, and these practices have vital role among other practices. There are four practices related to evaluating and collaborating suppliers and other industry peers, which occupy the highest level.

Authors: Abdelkader Eslam Mohammed , Zayed Tarek , Marzouk Mohamed
Published: November 2018

Deterioration models represent a very important pillar for the effective use of bridge management systems (BMS's). This article presents a probabilistic time-based model that predicts the condition ratings of the concrete bridge decks along their service life. The deterioration process of the concrete bridge decks is modeled using a semi-Markov decision process. The sojourn time of each condition state is fitted to a certain probability distribution based on some goodness of fit tests. The parameters of the probability density functions are obtained using maximum likelihood estimation. The cumulative density functions are defined based on Latin hypercube sampling. Finally, a comparison is conducted between the Markov Chain, semi-Markov chain, Weibull and gamma distributions to select the most accurate prediction model. Results indicate that the semi-Markov model outperformed the other models in terms of three performance indicators are: root-mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), chi-squared statistic (x2).

The wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have become one of the popular technologies of the wireless network utilization. WMN provides reliable and scalable wireless network because of its features such as dynamic self-organizing, self-configuring, Self-managing and self-healing. Routing protocols play an essential role in finding and establishing an active route from a source to a destination in WMNs. This article focuses on the performance evaluation and comparison of some routing protocols commonly used in WMNs for VoIP application: AODV, DSR, OLSR and TORA has been investigated over client Wireless Mesh Networks based on OPNET simulation in a different network sizes and mobility. This article presents a background of some designs and solutions based on an elaborated simulation investigation. The performance comparisons are carried out with regard to the node variation in network sizing and mobility. Based on the empirical outputs, the authors suggested that to utilize a specific routing protocol in certain situations.
CCR2 Signaling Selectively Regulates IFN-α: Role of β-Arrestin 2 in IFNAR1 Internalization
Authors: Williams Dionna W. , Askew Lauren C. , Jones Elonna , Clements Janice E.
Published: November 2018

An integral component of the antiviral response, type I IFNs require regulation to modulate immune activation. We identify β-arrestin 2 as a key modulator of type I IFN in primary human macrophages, an essential component of the innate immune response. β-Arrestin 2 was selectively activated by CCL2/CCR2 signaling, which induced a decrease in IFN-α, but not IFN-β expression. Small interfering RNA knockdown of β-arrestin 2 demonstrated its role in IFNAR1 internalization, as well as STAT1 and IRF3 activation. As a result, cytokine responses were not propagated following HIV infection and TLR3 activation. However, remnants of IFN signaling remained intact, despite β-arrestin 2 activation, as IFN-β, IFN-γ, IFN-λ1, IRF7, TRAIL, and MxA expression were sustained. Similar effects of β-arrestin 2 on IFN signaling occurred in hepatocytes, suggesting that arrestins may broadly modulate IFN responses in multiple cell types. In summary, we identify a novel role of β-arrestin 2 as an integral regulator of type I IFN through its internalization of IFNAR1 and a subsequent selective loss of downstream IFN signaling.
Dynamic of lipid droplets and gene expression in response to β-aminoisobutyric acid treatment on 3T3-L1 cells
Authors: Colitti Monica , Boschi Federico , Montanari Tommaso
Published: November 2018

Research on adipobiology has recognized the browning process of white adipocytes as a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of obesity and related morbidities. Physical exercise stimulates the secretion of myokines, such as b-aminoisobutyric acid (BAIBA), which in turn promotes adaptive thermogenesis. White adipocyte conversion to brown cells involves dynamic changes in lipid droplet (LD) dimension and in the transcription of brown-specific marker genes. This study analyzes the effect of different doses of BAIBA and at different days of development on 3T3-L1 cells by evaluating morphological changes in LDs and the expression of browning gene markers. Results suggested that the highest concentration of BAIBA after 4 days of differentiation produced the most significant effects. The number of LDs per cell increased in comparison to control cells, whereas the surface area significantly decreased. Brown adipocyte markers were up-regulated, but the effect of treatment was lost at 10 days of differentiation. The thermogenic program induced by BAIBA may reflect a rapid adaptation of adipose tissue to physical exercise. This connection stresses the beneficial impact of physical exercise on metabolic health.

Dementia in the old age: a gloomy wood later in life
Authors: Boccardi Virginia , Paolacci Lucia , Mecocci Patrizia
Published: November 2018

Dementia incidence is growing at an impressive rate worldwide, mostly affecting old age subjects. Looking and considering the disease as the same in younger adult does not seem the successful way to find a proper solution regarding prevention and therapy this since there are too many differences between these two forms from biological to clinical aspects. Three question arises from a deep reflection on dementia in the oldest old: i) if it is a continuum with physiological brain aging; ii) what are the linking mechanisms underlining the disease and brain normal aging; iii) if or how it is possible to prevent or manage the disease differently in this population. We strongly believe that dementia is not an inevitable result of ageing, but when it appears in the oldest olds, it assumes distinctive characteristics of a geriatric syndrome where etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, course of the disease and management require a patient-tailored approach that can not be separated from a careful multidimensional evaluation.

Published: November 2018

Contained within the 2nd Edition (1915) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows the telegraph network for Ontario and southwestern Quebec. Two or more lines may follow the same route, but only one line is indicated on the map. Therefore, well-settled portions
of the country like Southern Ontario and Southern Quebec may have two or three telegraph lines serving the principal towns along each route indicated. Most telegraph lines follow alongside railway lines. A table indicates (in miles) the range of eight important wireless stations. The map indicates
major railway networks, and extend into the U.S.

Published: November 2018

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a plate that shows four condensed maps of both Vancouver and Victoria. The first two maps display stages of urban growth for Vancouver, for periods ranging from 1886 to 1956 and Victoria, for
periods ranging from 1851 to 1955. The two remaining maps show the extent and classification of land use for 1955 for both of these cities. The urban growth maps represent the expansion of areas occupied by structures, yet the small open areas classified as parks and playgrounds on the land-use maps
are also included.
Density of Population - 1951
Authors:   Canada Department of Mines and Technical Surveys
Published: November 2018

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows the density of the Canadian population for 1951. The first map display Western provinces, while the second map concentrates on southern Ontario and the Maritimes. Only the most
populous areas are covered. Population density is illustrated by denoting the number of inhabitants per square mile. It shows a significant difference in the population distribution across Canada, mainly in urban and metropolitan areas. The cities with greater inhabitants are clusters within Capital
cities, and a even larger concentration south, near the U.S. border, in particular along ocean or inland coastlines.
Forest Regions

Published: November 2018

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows the extent of forest regions of Canada. It displays the extent of forest regions of Canada under natural conditions. Therefore, although many parts of Southern Canada are no longer
forested, no attempt has been made to indicate such areas on this map. For each forest region, forest sections are indicated. The eight forest regions are the Boreal Forest region, Subalpine Forest region, Montane Forest region, Coast Forest Region, Columbia Forest Region, Deciduous Forest region,
Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Forest region, and the Acadian Forest region and these are divided into forest sections based on the variations within a region. A set of two graphs accompany the map. One shows total areas of forest regions in Canada; the other shows the area of each forest region in each
province.
Principal Minerals
Authors:   Canada Department of Mines and Technical Surveys
Published: November 2018

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a plate that shows 20 different maps of principal minerals across Canada, circa 1955. The maps were compiled from information supplied by the Mines Branch of the Department of Mines and Technical
Surveys. Usually, the principal occurrences have been indicated but where these are very numerous only the areas in commercial production are shown. It should, therefore, be noted that not all of the principal occurrences are actually mined.
Forestry and Woodworking

Published: November 2018

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows three condensed maps and four graphs representing various forestry and woodworking processes as well as the correlating statistics for Canada. The first map on this plate shows the
locations of sash, door and planing mills for 1951. This map includes establishments engaged wholly or principally in millwork or the production of sash, doors, frames, mouldings, planed lumber, matched lumber (other than hardwood flooring), prefabricated houses, wooden furniture, boxes and
containers as well as plants specializing in milling in transit. The second map shows most of the plants devoted to furniture production in 1951, although some of them also manufacture commodities other than furniture as secondary products. The furniture industry is not exclusively concerned with
woodworking as it produces such things as household furniture, office and store fixtures, metal and upholstered furniture and mattresses. In 1951, the furniture
Navigable Waterways

Published: November 2018

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows three condensed maps of waterways known to be navigable as of the late 1950s, or those which had been used for navigation in the past. However, the map does not proport to show all
the waterways upon which navigation was possible. The map entitled Existing Canals shows all the canals in operation as of the late 1950s. Their evolution is shown on the inset diagram entitled Development of Canadian Canals which gives the dates of construction and operation depths of canals.
Several small maps featuring the Trent Canal System, St. Peter's Canal and the Welland Canal are also included on this plate. The St. Lawrence Seaway map shows the state of the St. Lawrence River, including the old canal system, dykes, locks and dams, prior to the construction of the Seaway, which
began in 1954. Areas of land that were to be flooded are indicated along with railways and highways which were to be relocated because of the flooding. Cons

Extent of Mapping Surveys - 1955
Authors:   Canada Department of Mines and Technical Surveys
Published: November 2018

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a plate that shows four maps, circa 1955. On the left of this plate, the top map shows the extent of township and boundary surveys. The bottom left map shows the extent and type of air-photographic
surveys. Air-photographic surveys have greatly facilitated the mapping of the country and serve many other uses as well. For purposes of accuracy, vertical photographs are preferable in that distortion is reduced to a minimum. Where speed has been a factor, trimetrogon surveys have been carried out.
In this type of survey the aircraft carries three cameras, one of which takes vertical photographs and the other two oblique photographs on either side of the aircraft's track. Because of the wide coverage, fewer flights are required for oblique than vertical surveys. On the right of this plate, the
upper map entitled Geodetic Surveys shows the triangulation areas in which precise control points have been established by the triangulation method,
