	The fresh scientists of Bellairs - The McGill Tribune - news
		Bellairs was created in 1954 from an endowment by the late Commander Carlyon W. Bellairs, of the British Royal Navy.
		The research institute sits adjacent to the fringing coral reefs that hug the shoreline of the west coast of Barbados.
		One aim of Dr. Downey is to spread the word that Bellairs is ready and able to provide the logistical support that many scientists require when conducting research and that the institute is equipped to accommodate field courses.

		The Bellairs Research Institute of McGill University is a Canadian research and teaching laboratory in the tropics.
		The Institute was founded and endowed in 1954 by the late Commander Carlyon W. Bellairs to provide a facility through which staff at McGill might develop a scholarly interest in the tropics.
		As a consequence, an open-door policy to all researchers with academic interests in tropical terrestrial and marine environments is maintained.

	BELLAIRS RESEARCH INSTITUTE PRESERVES SEA TURTLES
		Institute Director Dr. Wayne Hunte alerts area Police who quickly trace the van's ownership, and then in an ironic twist, swoop down on the poacher's residence and lay in wait for the culprits.
		Bellairs launched the Sea Turtle Project in 1987, and with it a tenacious public awareness campaign that gently converted an indifferent population into a guardian community.
		Bellairs serves as an educational and research base for universities and scientists across the globe.

		In addition to the robot, the Canadian research team is also conducting experiments with a computerized camera system for the robot and an acoustic localization system that will permit an operator to accurately determine the robot's position.
		The team is conducting the first full field trials of this unique underwater autonomous system from the Bellairs Research Institute on the west coast of Barbados.
		Based on the results of these tests, the research team plans to conduct further field trials in freshwater lakes in Canada in the summer of 2004 and at Bellairs in 2005.

		The reef site, the Bellairs fringing reef, extends 300 m seaward from the shoreline and is very shallow, with the base of the reef at a depth of 6 m.
		However, the net current direction observed in the vicinity of the Bellairs fringing reef appears to be highly variable.
		The CARICOMP monitoring plots are located in the spur-and-groove zones of the north and south Bellairs fringing reefs, in the areas of highest live coral cover.

		This is an exciting new field of research that has attracted considerable scientific and public attention.
		Our current research is concerned with: 1) population dynamics of fish communities (specifically rockfish, genus Sebastes) in kelp and seagrass ecosystems; 2) cumulative impacts on intertidal mudflat and seagrass communities; 3) zoning of NMCAs; and 4) interactions of Northern abalone (Haliotis kamtschatkana) with its habitat, competitors and predators.
		My tropical research interests are focused on coral reef ecology, specifically: 1) coral community interactions; 2) coral community recovery following natural and anthropogenic perturbations; 3) the effects of eutrophication and other pollutants on the community structure and function of coral reef systems; and 4) seagrass ecology.

		In an effort to stimulate research in the area of Polyhedra, Convex Geometry, and Optimization, we are organizing the 2nd annual Barbados Undercurrent Workshop at the Bellairs Research Institute of McGill University in Holetown, St. James, Barbados.
		Invitations to attend are sent to a selected group of world authorities and students (roughly 15 people in total) to come spend a week living together at the Bellairs Research Institute, while working on open problems in the field.
		In addition to the results obtained at Bellairs itself, we hope to strengthen links between McGill and research groups in industry and universities throughout Canada and around the world.

		At the shopping centre a 15 minute walk south from Bellairs, there are banks with machines that will take a standard variety of bank cards; there's a post office, a grocery store, a pharmacy, even cappucino, Cuban cigars and various specialty items for rich tourists.
		Also, there is a taxi stand close to Bellairs, where we can rent vans in small groups and be taken sight-seeing by a driver.
		This is not caused by the Institute's loyal employees of many years, but rather by determined, swift, and invisible outsiders.

		I thought it appropriate to add that, since the mid-seventies, the Bellairs Research Institute has provided the setting for an important graduate and postdoctoral fellowship program administered by the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research.
		In 1990, the awards were renamed the "Commander C. Bellairs Fellowships" to reflect the source of funds, principally the income on shares left by Carlyon Wilfroy Bellairs, from his investment portfolio to support operations at the Institute.
		The Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research also administers the complementary "Rosemary Woodhouse Graduate Travelling Award," established in 1989 in memory of Rosemary Woodhouse, a long-time employee of the Faculty, in recognition of the interest she took in the Bellairs Institute.

		A shellable simlicial complex ${\mathcal C}$ has a large number of shellings, each of which is a total order of all facets in ${\mathcal C}$ satisfying some combinatorial condition.
		But the structure of such shellings has never been analyzed, although many researchers have studied shellability itself until today.
		In this paper, we propose a new concept, a shellable $h$-assignment, that represents the fundamental property of each shelling, and show that all shellings in ${\mathcal C}$ are classified into a family of disjoint sets $\{C_i\}$ corresponding one-to-one to each shellable $h$-assignment such that each $C_i$ has the structure of an antimatroid.
