Canada Public Service Agency, Office of Public Service Values and Ethics, 2006. Public servants in the Government of Canada are required to be as concerned with preventing apparent conflicts of interest as they are with preventing real and potential conflicts of interest. This paper was developed to contribute to a better understanding of the meaning and significance of apparent conflict of interest, given its implications for the integrity of government, the public service, and individual public servants. The paper is intended to be of use to public servants and public service managers, but will also be of value to members of the public, especially those who work with the public service, to understand the special duties that public servants are required to uphold.

The detection of flooding in forested wetlands using SAR results from double-bounce scattering of microwave energy from the water and trunks beneath the forest canopy. If the microwave energy is able to penetrate the canopy, it will reflect specularly from the still water on the surface and then again from the tree trunks back towards the SAR antenna.

An instrument that determines the blackbody temperature of a substance by measuring its thermal radiation.

CONT

For many years radiation thermometers have been used to make non-contact temperature measurements of hot objects, particularly in industrial situations such as reformer furnaces, steel reheat furnaces, and ceramics kilns.... Radiation thermometers work by detecting the radiant energy, typically over a restricted range of wavelengths, emitted by the object of interest and using Planck's radiation law to relate this energy to temperature.

CONT

A radiation thermometer is unable to distinguish between the radiation emitted by an object (the component that is related to the objects temperature) and radiation reflected by the object that originates from neighbouring objects.

OBS

Unlike other forms of thermometry, radiation thermometry is a non-contact technique and can be used to measure the temperature of remote or moving targets.

Observation through field work of intertribal interaction in Los Angeles reveals that Navajo have very little representation in such activities and tend to form enclaves, being especially hostile to Sioux... Pan-Indianism sentiment... For several decades now scholarly concern with native Americans has reflected an interest in Pan-Indianism. Perhaps one of the most important institutional settings fostering Pan-Indianism has been the federal boarding school... reconciliation between Pan-Indianism and Catholicism....

The Dynamic-Investor is the ideal manager, working at top effectiveness for himself and the corporation. He is involved, committed, and accepting of company values, and shares his authority with subordinates in a way that enhances both their growth and his own. Although he is promotable soon, this, too, is a transient posture, for as long as he is needed to manage the diffusion of authority in the work group, his promotion will not be in the best interest of the corporation.

Il partage son autorité avec ses subordonnés d'une façon qui facilite leur croissance en même temps que la sienne. Bien qu'il puisse être promu très prochainement, lui, également, est dans une position intermédiaire, car aussi longtemps que l'on a besoin de lui pour organiser le partage de l'autorité à l'intérieur du groupe de travail, sa promotion ne sera pas tout à fait dans l'intérêt de l'entreprise.
