Targets and thresholds derived from biomass dynamic models are almost completely predetermined by the choice of model structure and the values for carrying capacity and intrinsic growth rate.... the Pella-Tomlinson model [is] somewhat more flexible, because [it adds] parameters to describe how the growth rate changes with respect to stock size. But the values for targets and thresholds in the Pella-Tomlinson model are no less sensitive to errors and biases in carrying capacity or intrinsic growth rate than the more common-dependent models.

The most important city of the province of Quebec, but not its capital. It occupies all the Île de Montréal(or Montréal Island), the biggest island of the Hochelaga Archipelago, at the confluence of the St. Lawrence River and the Ottawa River. In 1535, Jacques Cartier visited the native village of Hochelaga on the slope of what he named "Mont Royal, "but by 1608, year of the foundation of Québec, all the Iroquoians were gone. At the same location, Ville-Marie was founded as a missionary colony by Paul de Chomedey de Maisonneuve in 1642, though it was not until the conclusion of the "Grande Paix"(peace treaty) of 1701 that the colony stopped living in a permanent state of war. The establishment became the great centre of the fur trade and a starting point for expeditions by the coureurs de bois and voyageurs of the time. Trade from the port and agriculture on the surrounding plains contributed to the development of the city. By the 1820s, its population outnumbered that of the city of Québec. A dynamic merchant class began to invest and "St. James Street, "now "la rue Saint-Jacques, "became the country's financial centre. Around 1831, large-scale immigration enabled the population of British origin to be the majority in the city but, at the time of Confederation in 1867 and after, the francophones were again in the majority, gradually making the city the centre of the French culture in America. Erected as a municipality in 1832, the city underwent a steady growth with the addition of the territories of 35 towns over the years. If Toronto grabbed the title of "Business Capital" by the end of the 20th Century, Montréal remained the "Metropolis of Canada. "In 1996, the metropolitan region grouped some 111 municipalities located on three of the islands of the Hochelaga Archipelago, Montréal Island, Jésus Island and Bizard Island, and, on the South Shore, the city of Longueuil and the seven others that were to be part of it on the 1 January 2002, the cities of Boucher...

In Canada (with seven exceptions as of December 31, 2004), the name of an inhabited place has the same form in English and French, which form is listed in the Gazetteer of the province or territory in accordance with the inscription in the Incorporation Act of the entity. This rule also applies for the historic designation of an inhabited place, even if the designation is not or no longer gazetteered.

OBS

The "city of Montréal" is the geographical entity: "The city of Montréal takes its name from a contraction of the name given to the mountain by Jacques Cartier in 1535, "Mont Royal", while "City of Montréal" refers to its governing body or administrative instance.

OBS

The inhabitant of Montréal is a "Montrealer" (since 1919), man or woman. The name of the city always takes an accent while the demonym, taking an English form with the addition of an English suffix, is written without the accent.

La plus importante ville de la province de Québec mais qui n'en est pas la capitale. Elle occupe l'île de Montréal, la plus grande des îles de l'archipel d'Hochelaga, au confluent du fleuve Saint-Laurent et de la rivière des Outaouais. En 1535, Jacques Cartier visite le village autochtone d'Hochelaga sur les pentes de ce qu'il nomme le mont Royal, mais en 1608, à l'époque de la fondation de Québec, tous les Iroquoiens ont disparu de l'emplacement. Le sieur Paul de Chomedey de Maisonneuve y fonde, en 1642, Ville-Marie, une colonie missionnaire chargée d'évangéliser les «Indiens», mais seule la Grande Paix de 1701 permet à la colonie d'échapper au climat de guerre dans lequel elle doit vivre. L'avantageux emplacement du site en fait un centre de la traite des fourrures et le carrefour des coureurs de bois et des explorateurs. Le commerce et l'agriculture qui se fait sur les plaines environnantes permettent à la ville de se développer. En 1820, elle devient plus populeuse que la ville de Québec. Son dynamisme fait que s'y installe le centre des affaires du pays, sur la «St. James Street» d'alors, devenue la rue Saint-Jacques par la suite. Vers 1831, l'immigration massive permet aux habitants d'origine britannique de devenir majoritaire, mais, à compter de l'époque de la Confédération en 1867, la population francophone redevient supérieure à la population anglophone, la ville devenant le centre de l'expression de la culture française en Amérique. Érigée en municipalité en 1832, elle prend des dimensions imposantes à la faveur de 35 fusions de villes réalisées au fil des ans. Si, Toronto lui ravit le titre de «Capitale des affaires» à la fin du XXe siècle, elle conserve celui de «Métropole du Canada» et de «Ville aux cent clochers». En 1996, la région métropolitaine comprend environ 111 municipalités, celles occupant l'île de Montréal, l'île Jésus et l'île Bizard de l'archipel d'Hochelaga, et, sur la Rive-Sud, la ville de Longueuil et les sept autres [...]

Defining ethnic food is difficult. "Ethnic foods represent a complex, dynamic category, "according to the National Restaurant Association, "In a multi-cultural society like the U. S., one tends to perceive more and more cuisines as ethnic. "Also, over time, items that used to be distinctly ethnic, like tacos and pizza, have become part of the mainstream American diet. While an exact definition of ethnic food may be difficult, three trends are clearly emerging. First, traditionally popular ethnic foods such as Mexican, Italian and Chinese are becoming more sophisticated through the use of regional-type cooking and ingredients. Second, new ethnic cuisines, such as Indian, Moroccan and Thai cuisines, are experiencing "hot" growth because they are rich in aromas and have strong taste profiles that are unique and varied. Third, ethnic fusion foods, which combine the flavors of different regions and cultures, are growing in popularity because they satisfy the American demand for variety and taste.

A spectacular example of synkinematic porphyroblast growth is provided by the so-called snowball garnets, which have spiral trails of inclusions that indicate rotation of either the garnet or the matrix foliation during garnet growth.

CONT

Garnets in certain metamorphic rocks contain inclusion fabrics whose geometry is very similar to that of the model. Such syntectonic, snowball, or rotational garnets, as they have previously been termed, can be studied in three dimensions.

OBS

Pinwheel garnet and snowball garnet are designations sometimes applied to those garnets whose inclusions appear to have been rotated. These garnets occur sporadically in foliated metamorphic rocks. Although their presence in diverse rocks has been interpreted variously, present-day consensus appears to be that they represent rotation during growth under conditions of dynamic metamorphism that involved differential pressures.
