This paper reports results from magnetotelluric measurements made along an approximately 300-kilometre northwest-southeast trending profile that crossed the major geological structures of central Baffin Island. The main goal of this survey was to determine the sub-surface geometry of major geological boundaries, particularly between Archean Rae Craton rocks and overlying Paleoproterozoic continental-margin units. The paper describes data acquisition methods & problems encountered and presents a preliminary model that describes much of the magnetotelluric response observed along the profile.

This paper reports on a part of the study of the Goldcorp high-grade zone at the Red Lake gold mine, northern Ontario that carried out fluid inclusion microthermometric analyses on a few key samples representing different stages of gold mineralization. The purpose of the study is to provide an initial idea regarding the fluid characteristics before, during, & after the gold mineralization in order to better understand how the deposit was formed and to contribute to the ongoing debate on its genesis. Fluid inclusions were studied from three different mineral phases: pre-ore carbonate, syn-ore quartz, and post-ore euhedral quartz & associated carbonate. The paper reviews the regional & local geologic setting, the petrography of the samples studied, and the study methods employed, and interprets the microthermometric data with discussion of fluid immiscibility, temperature-pressure conditions of carbonate vein formation & silicification, temperature-pressure conditions of euhedral quartz formation, and the evolution of fluid composition.

The Goldcorp high grade zone at the Red Lake mine in northern Ontario is currently the best Canadian example of high-grade gold mineralization. It provides an opportunity to define the fundamental geological parameters controlling the formation of high-grade gold ore and to assist in developing exploration guidelines for such mineralization. This report updates an ongoing study of the Red Lake high grade zone, beginning with a review of the local geological setting and a description of the southeast-trending structural lineament known as the Red Lake mine trend, defined by folds, faults, and an associated corridor of alteration & mineralization. The report then describes the structure, veins, ore zones, and alteration assemblages in the high grade zone and discusses the chronology of gold replacement, gold remobilization, and the geological controls on formation of the high grade zone.

Healthcare providers, consumers, researchers and policy makers are inundated with unmanageable amounts of information, including evidence from healthcare research. It has become impossible for all to have the time and resources to find, appraise and interpret this evidence and incorporate it into healthcare decisions. Cochrane Reviews respond to this challenge by identifying, appraising and synthesizing research-based evidence and presenting it in a standardized format, published in The Cochrane Library (www.thecochranelibrary.com). The Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions contains methodological guidance for the preparation and maintenance of Cochrane intervention reviews. Written in a clear and accessible format, it is the essential manual for all those preparing, maintaining and reading Cochrane reviews. Many of the principles and methods described here are appropriate for systematic reviews applied to other types of research and to systematic reviews of interventions undertaken by others. It is hoped therefore that this book will be invaluable to all those who want to understand the role of systematic reviews, critically appraise published reviews or perform reviews themselves.
