Foreword to The Organic Grower
No full textAudrey Windram is a living treasure of Australian organics. She has been ‘fighting the good fight’ to advance the cause of organics for the best part of half a century. When it comes to organics, Audrey leads by example. She has been living the organic life, variously as an organics pioneer, producer, evangelist, educator and author, all the while ‘practising what she preaches’ and preaching in the most gentle of ways. It is a delight to commend Audrey Windram’s latest book The Organic Grower on the fortieth anniversary of the publication of her first organics book. Organic Gardening originally appeared in 1975 as a Rigby Instant Book. It was a mass-market book distributed throughout Australia. The organics enterprise must continue to draw strength from the validity of its foundational premises and continue the fight which Lord Northbourne warned in 1940 may be a fight lasting “for many decades, perhaps for centuries”. In The Organic Grower Audrey Windram brings together four publications, Organic Gardening, the two volumes of Meet the Organic Farmer, together with Ways of Being Organic. Enjoy it
Une analyse des symboles musicaux et des approches pédagogiques dans les méthodes d’enseignement du piano
No full textLors de l’enseignement du piano, l’élève doit apprendre à maîtriser la lecture de différents symboles musicaux, la théorie musicale et le geste moteur. Plusieurs projets ont été mené afin d’évaluer la façon dont ces apprentissages sont enseignés dans les différentes méthodes de piano pour débutants. Le premier projet vise à faire une analyse quantitative des différents symboles auxquels les apprenti-pianistes sont exposés dans les méthodes. Le deuxième projet cherche à estimer la répartition des gestes moteurs entre les mains et les différents doigts de l’élève dans le but d’en évaluer l’impact à long terme. Le troisième projet met en lien les découvertes des deux précédents lors d’une analyse qualitative des différentes approches pédagogiques retrouvées dans les méthodes utilisées. Les analyses indiquent qu’il y a beaucoup de variations dans les méthodes, autant sur le plan pédagogique qu’au plan des symboles utilisés et gestes moteurs demandés. Cette recherche permet d’étudier les processus cognitifs régissant la lecture de la musique ainsi que comprendre quels facteurs peuvent motiver l’élève poursuivre son apprentissage et l’amener à un niveau de performance plus élevée
Comment pérenniser les installations cyclables pour les rendre plus accessibles en hiver à Montréal
No full textLe transport à vélo est bénéfique pour une société comme celle de Montréal, et ce, à plusieurs égards. Il contribue à diminuer l’empreinte environnementale de ceux qui l’utilisent, constitue une pratique d’activité physique nécessaire à un mode de vie sain et génère des retombées économiques intéressantes. De plus, il constitue une économie d’espace non négligeable dans un milieu urbain dense. Le transport à vélo est bien implanté à Montréal depuis plusieurs années déjà. Cependant, l’accessibilité des aménagements cyclables de la métropole en hiver pourrait être bonifiée et c’est d’ailleurs ce que laissent paraître les données saisonnières du nombre de cyclistes empruntant le réseau cyclable. Cette étude de cas a pour objectif d’établir des recommandations représentant des pistes d’amélioration de la pérennité des aménagements cyclables montréalais pour une accessibilité quatre saisons. Dans le cadre de cette étude, les stratégies d’aménagements cyclables hivernaux employées à l’international ont été analysées et ont permis un aperçu des bonnes pratiques qui pourraient être reproduites à Montréal. Un diagnostic a été effectué pour identifier les forces et faiblesses des aménagements cyclables hivernaux de Montréal. Cette analyse a donc servi de fondation à l’élaboration des recommandations spécifiques au contexte montréalais. Celles-ci comprennent, notamment, le maintien des installations toute l’année, une complémentarité accrue entre le réseau cyclable et le réseau de transport en commun et un encadrement plus strict de la conception des aménagements, laquelle doit tenir compte des enjeux relatifs à l’hiver. Il est également recommandé de maintenir davantage de voies cyclables en hiver et de tendre vers un réseau de voies cyclables plus larges et uniformes, afin de faciliter leur entretien et de les rendre plus sécuritaires. Les recommandations comprennent aussi la mise en place de mesures pour accroître le confort des cyclistes, la substitution du marquage routier pour la saison hivernale, la substitution du chlorure de sodium, nocif pour l’environnement, ainsi que l’élaboration d’un plan municipal afin d’établir une vision claire pour la municipalité

Audrey and Bill a romantic biography of Audrey Hepburn & William Holden
No full text"Here for the first time is the complete, captivating story of an on-set romance that turned into a lifelong love story between silver screen legends Audrey Hepburn and William Holden. In 1954, Hepburn and Holden were America's sweethearts. Both won Oscars that year and together they filmed Sabrina, a now-iconic film that continues to inspire the worlds of film and fashion. Audrey & Bill tells the stories of both stars, from before they met to their electrifying first encounter when they began making Sabrina. The love affair that sparked on-set was relatively short-lived, but was a turning point in the lives of both stars. Audrey & Bill follows both Hepburn and Holden as their lives crisscrossed through to the end, providing an inside look at the Hollywood of the 1950s, '60s, and beyond. Through in-depth research and interviews with former friends, co-stars, and studio workers, Audrey & Bill author Edward Z. Epstein sheds new light on the stars and the fascinating times in which they lived"-

Regulation of proNGF processing and its effects on p75NTR-mediated cell death following seizure
No full textNerve growth factor (NGF) has been known to play critical roles in neuronal survival and differentiation during development. Recent studies have
discovered that its immature form, proNGF, is a ligand for the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR). proNGF binding to p75NTR activates apoptotic signaling, and
this binding occurs with a five-fold higher affinity than that of mature NGF (Lee et al., 2001). This binding preference, along with the increased prevalence of
proNGF after injury (Harrington et al., 2004), creates a cellular environment susceptible to cell death; thus, the balance between levels of pro- and mature NGF may be a key factor in determining whether a neuron lives or dies (Lee et al., 2001; Volosin et al., 2006). Using both in vitro and in vivo methods, this thesis examined the mechanisms that regulate the extracellular processing of proNGF and the consequences of that processing on p75NTR-mediated cell death following injury. The results discussed here demonstrate that 1) proNGF binding leads to cell death via the p75NTR signaling pathway; 2) after injury, proNGF is upregulated and preferentially secreted in a functional manner capable of
activating the p75NTR-mediated apoptotic pathway; 3) the enzymes plasmin and MMP7 extracellularly cleave proNGF, 4) after injury, plasmin activation and
MMP7 activity are reduced, leading to increased proNGF-induced apoptosis, and 5) restoring plasmin or MMP7 activity following brain injury reduces proNGF
levels and consequently, p75NTR-mediated apoptosis. Overall, these data suggest that increased cell death following injury may be mediated in part by a
change in the balance between extracellular proNGF and the activity of its processing enzymes, leading to increased cell death via p75NTR.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Audrey P. L
