Item Open Access 2011 Dame Nita Barrow visitorship : final technical report(2013-05-12) International Development Research Centre (IDRC)This grant supported the visit of Shanthi Diariam, the fourteenth Dame Nita Barrow Distinguished Visitor, to the University of Toronto (UT) and the initial development of ‘Friends of the Dame Nita Barrow Visitorship.’ During her residence at UT, Ms. Dairiam taught a graduate course in the Adult Education and Community Development Program (AECD) at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE). The report reviews activities, meetings, lectures and future plans for the ‘Friends of the Dame Nita Barrow Visitorship.’ Dame Ruth Nita Barrow was the first female Governor-General of Barbados.Item Open Access 2018 Policy community survey - Global report prepared for the Think Tank Initiative Feb. 2019(Globescan, 2019-02) Hazime, Nadia; Binbrek, Salim; Femke, De ManIn 2018, the Think Tank Initiative (TTI) commissioned GlobeScan a global stakeholder research consultancy, to conduct a survey of policy stakeholders in three regions: Africa, Latin America, and South Asia. Through the Policy Community Survey, the Think Tank Initiative aims to better understand the information needs and uses of policy actors in specific countries, as well as their perceptions of think tanks.Item Open Access Aboriginal tourism in northern Canada : how collaborative research can improve community engagement in tourism projects(Sylvie Blangy (consultant), 2008) Blangy, Sylvie; McGinley, Robin; Chevalier, Jacques M.Situated in the James Bay area, the Cree Nation is comprised of 15,000 people in nine communities spread out over 350,000 square kilometers. The project’s goal is to position Eeyou Istchee (the traditional territory and homeland of the Cree) as a Cree tourism destination for external markets. Participants were able to share knowledge, build bridges, develop links between communities and operators, and work together at the regional level. Community Tourism Officers were provided with tools they can use independently at the community level and for other meetings (Band Council).Item Restricted Above and below ground competition for solar radiation and soil moisture in a windbreak soybean system(University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE, US, 1998) Nieto-Cabrera, C.The main role of windbreaks in agricultural systems is to improve the microclimate and enhance the growth and yield of the protected crops. However, some competitive windbreak-crop relationships have been recognized. Windbreak-soybean above- and below-ground competition was studied in 1996 and 1997 at Mead, Nebraska (41$\sp\circ$ 29$\sp\prime$ N, 96$\sp\circ$ 30$\sp\prime$ W, and 354 m altitude). The factors in the study were: windbreak orientation (east windbreak, west exposed (EW), south windbreak, north exposed (SW), and west windbreak, east exposed (WW)), root pruning (pruned (P) and not pruned (NP)), and distance from the windbreak (0.75H, 1.5H, 2.25H, and 3.0H in 1996, and 0.5H, 0.75H, 1.5W, and 3.0H in 1997). Windbreaks were two rows of green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica L.) combined with eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana L.) or Austrian pine (Pinus nigra Arnold), 12-15 m height (H), and approximately 60% density. The most critical period of windbreak-crop competition for soil moisture occurred during soybean reproductive and grain filling stages. Windbreak-crop competition for soil moisture existed at EW and WW up to 0.75H, but it was negligible at SW. The differences in soybean yield between NP and P plots at 0.75H, were 192-601 kg ha$\sp{-1}$ (12.2-21.7%) at EW, 892-874 kg ha$\sp{-1}$ (32.1-40.8%) at WW, and 137-173 kg ha$\sp{-1}$ (5.4-6.1%) at SW in 1996 and 1997 respectively. Soybean canopy temperature (CT) was higher and soybean leaf water potential $(\Psi)$ was more negative at EW and WW compared with CT and $\Psi$ at SW, at NP compared with CT and $\Psi$ at P plots, and at 0.75H, compared with CT and $\Psi$ at other distances. Competition for solar radiation existed at the three windbreak orientations up to 0.75H, but it was significantly greater at SW when measured up to 0.5H. Incident photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) integrated over the crop season in 1997 was 45.6 and 85.2% at SW, 73.5 and 86.7% at EW and 62.3 and 82.7% at WW, at 0.5H and 0.75H, respectively, compared with PPFD at an exposed field. Shading effects reduced soybean yield by 2333 kg ha$\sp{-1}$ (68.6%) at SW 0.5H, and by 577 to 1712 kg ha$\sp{-1}$ (17 to 40%) at SW 0.75H, compared with yields at SW 3.0H. Fewer accumulated growing degree days (GDD) were observed at SW up to 0.75H. Correlation between GDD and soybean phenological development existed at SW, but not at EW and WW windbreaks. Soybean phenological development at EW and WW responded more to soil water availability than to GDD accumulation.Item Open Access Abrasive disk dehullers in Africa : from research to dissemination(IDRC, Ottawa, ON, CA, 1989) Bassey, Michael W.; Schmidt, O.G.Item Restricted Absorption and Diffusion of Imported Technology (ADIT) : a study of the Philippine textile industry; report presented at the Final ADIT Meeting held in Singapore on 26-30 Jan. 1981(National Science Development Board, Manila, PH, 1981) National Science Development BoardItem Restricted Absorption and diffusion of imported technology : a case study of the pulp and paper industry [preliminary report](Marga Institute, Colombo, LK, 1979) Manikam, P.P.Item Restricted Absorption and diffusion of imported technology : a case study of the synthetic textile industry(Marga Institute, Colombo, LK, 1979) Uduman, De;amp H.; Schokman, YvonneItem Restricted Absorption and diffusion of imported technology : a case study of the synthetic textile industry(Marga Institute, Colombo, LK, 1980) Uduman, D.H.; Schokman, Y.; PararajasinghamItem Restricted Absorption and diffusion of imported technology : a study of the cement industry in Sri Lanka(Marga Institute, Colombo, LK, 1981) Uduman, D.H.; Schokman, Y.Item Restricted Absorption and diffusion of imported technology : a study of the glass industry in Sri Lanka(Marga Institute, Colombo, LK, 1980) Marga InstituteItem Open Access Absorption and Diffusion of Imported Technology : proceedings of a workshop held in Singapore, 26-30 Jan. 1981(IDRC, Ottawa, ON, CA, 1983) IDRC.
