About 15 years ago, some staff at Canadian parks started classifying fractures as "pops"(sudden planar fractures), and "drops"(sudden collapses) due to collapse of a thick weak layer. A recent analysis showed that pops and drops were common near human-triggered avalanches, but other types of fractures were infrequent near such avalanches. This is likely because pops and drops indicate that slab and weak layer properties are favourable to fracture propagation... 5, record 4, English, - pop

The types of fractures include sudden planar, also known as "pop" because of the sound it makes, and "drop", or resistant planar. 6, record 4, English, - pop

Prof. Bruce Jamieson of the University of Calgary has come up with a code for identifying weak layers[: Fracture Character in Small-Column Snowpack Tests. Three major classes of fractures are identified: Sudden fractures (e.g.: pops and drops), Resistant fractures (e.g.: progressive compressions and resistant planars) and Breaks (e.g.: non-planar breaks).] 6, record 4, English, - pop

Forest biometrician.... Participate in a team oriented research project assessing the carbon dynamics of forest ecosystems at country to regional scales, including the effects of changes in land cover, land use, and land management. The current research focus is to quantify the carbon flux(either sink or source) from changes in land use and land cover for several major boreal, temperate, and tropical countries. The primary duties will be : 1) estimate errors and their propagation for all components of national-scale terrestrial C budgets; 2) design sampling strategies for data collection from field sites to remote sensing scenes; 3) perform statistical analysis of inventory data for estimating status and trend of forest biomass-carbon densities; 4) design a data management system, including quality control procedures, for keeping track of estimates of means and associated errors of carbon budget components that vary over time and space.... 2, record 5, English, - forest%20biometrician

EL has two possible states for diodes(on or off) and three states for transistors(active, cutoff, and saturated).
