中美加三国政府投资工程建设标准体系比较研究

建设标准体系的内容体现了建设标准的目的和作用,其内部层次组织决定了建设标准之间的关系以及执行的效果。文章通过实地调研和文献查阅,对美、加两国较为成熟的建设标准体系进行了详细梳理及特征分析,与我国建设标准体系进行了深入的对比研究,比较的内容包括建设标准的总体数量、面向对象、面向过程等方面。结合我国国情,为当前正在进行的建设标准编制工作提出了指导性建议。     

The Canadian Patent Examiner Continuous Training Program

The Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) is the Government of Canada organization responsible for granting patent rights. In 2009, the Patent Branch formalized the continuous training and professional development of patent examiners by creating the Patent Examiner Continuous Training Program. This paper presents an overview of the program: factors that influence training needs, categories of training offered, training providers, training medium used and also examples of recent training activities. CIPO's experience may be useful for other intellectual property offices developing a training program for their examiners.     

西加盆地致密油开发特征分析

西加拿大沉积盆地是世界上致密油资源最为丰富的盆地之一,开发潜力巨大。致密油开发技术的日益成熟、开发成本的逐渐降低、国际油价的持续高位和加拿大良好的投资环境,使得致密油实现了规模经济开发并进入了新一轮开发热潮。在对西加拿大沉积盆地致密油分布规律进行归纳总结基础上,对致密油开发技术、开发现状和生产特征进行了分析讨论。研究结果对加拿大致密油项目的评价筛选以及相关开发技术在全球其他致密油地区的实践应用具有一定的借鉴意义。     

Development similarity based on proximity: A case study of urban clusters in Canada

Neighbouring towns in urban clusters of Canada exhibit similar levels of socio-economic development. However, when measured by different development indicators, inter-town development association differs in both nature and degree. In core areas, for instance, only population and housing variables exhibit a strong spatial association, while that of employment-related variables - average income, and unemployment rate - is weaker. This tendency reflects the fundamental difference between the two groups of variables. While population and housing variables are associated with the clustering of residents in socially homogenous areas, inter-town development similarity in respect to employment-related variables is weaker, apparently due to long-distance commuting. The article discusses the importance of urban clustering as a factor in regional development policies and programmes, and provides support for including cluster-related elements in a strategy to enhance urban growth in underdeveloped regions.Received: 22 August 2002, Accepted: 25 June 2003, JEL Classification: R12, R23, R38, R58This study was carried out in the framework of the Canadian Studies Program, sponsored jointly by the Israel Association for Canadian Studies and the Department of Foreign Affairs of the Government of Canada.

加拿大砂金采选技术

根据1989年在国外期间参加的两次研讨会,以及对育空地区砂金产地的现场考察,归纳分析了加拿大砂金采选技术。200多座家庭式生产经营的中、小矿山,构成育空地区和全加拿大砂金产量的大部分。采选技术特征主要为:普遍应用以推土机和格条溜槽为主要设备的陆上可移式采选厂,重视生产勘探和剥离与选择性开采,筛洗与选收工艺设备因矿而异,尾砂处置和土地复垦法规化与正常化,劳动生产率甚高但资源回收率一般,为提高全年生产作业率而提前解冻和剥采等。值得借鉴的新技术和趋向主要有:永冻层内砂金矿的冬季无支护坑采;通过降低筛分粒度和施加各种振动,改善溜槽作业过程和指标;运用金的放射性同位素示踪,检测砂金洗选回收率和各粒级的金回收率;因黄金市场和生产要素变化,出现了陆上可移式采选厂逐渐取代采金船的趋向。     

Aide a la recherche en psychologie indications sur le partage des attribbutions du Conseil National de Recherches, du Conseil des Arts du Canada et du Conseil de Recherches Medicales.

These guidelines have been prepared to aid applicants in determining which of the three Councils would be the appropriate one to approach for support of research in the various areas of psychology. In preparing this document the overriding principle has been that all scholarly research in psychology should be eligible for support by one or other of the Councils with the exception of that in the field of public health; the intention has been to list certain broad areas within the discipline that seem to fall most clearly within the terms of reference of each Council, while accepting the impossibility of defining mutually exclusive categories.

Retributive and utilitarian motives and other correlates of Canadian attitudes toward the death penalty.

An in-depth survey of 144 English Canadian adults examined the motives behind, and other social psychological correlates of, attitudes toward capital punishment. The results suggested that for a substantial percentage of people the motive of retribution may be more important than deterence as a reason for favoring the death penalty. Other findings indicated that the more strongly people favored the death penalty, the more likely they were to score high on measures of authoritarianism, punitiveness, dogmatism, and prejudice. They were also more likely to be older and less educated. The hypothesis that people who felt threatened by crime would be more likely to favor capital punishment received equivocal support. Both theoretical and practical applications of the data are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
