Urban Mobility and Transportation Policy — with Anthony Perl
No full textSFU Urban Studies professor Anthony Perl joins host Am Johal in conversation about urban mobility and the policy challenges and opportunities that shape the way people move through Canada\u27s largest urban centres: Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver.They discuss findings from Anthony\u27s new book, Big Moves: Global Agendas, Local Aspirations, and Urban Mobility in Canada, co-authored with Matt Hern and Jeffrey R. Kenworthy. Anthony traces the history of transportation infrastructure development through these three cities, and he and Am look towards a future that embraces more integrated and sustainable mobility options for urban and suburban life.Resources:— About Anthony Perl: https://www.sfu.ca/politics/people/profiles/aperl.html— Big Moves: Global Agendas, Local Aspirations, and Urban Mobility in Canada by Anthony perl, Matt Hern and Jeffrey R.

Reflections on experimental science: Martin Perl
No full textThis is a collection of important lecture and original articles and commentaries by Martin Perl, discoverer of the tau lepton and the third generation of elementary particles, and this year's Nobel Prize winner. This book contains a fascinating and realistic picture of experimental science based on the high energy physics research work carried out by him. Using reprints of his articles with his commentaries, the author presents the various aspects of experimental research in science: the pleasures and risks of experimental work; the pain and frustration with experiments that are useless or fa
Perl one-liners
No full text130 Time-Saving, Problem-Solving Perl Scripts That Get Things DonePart of the fun of programming in Perl lies in tackling tedious tasks with short, efficient, and reusable code. Often, the perfect tool is the one-liner, a small but powerful program that fits in one line of code and does one thing really well.In Perl One-Liners, author and impatient hacker Peteris Krumins takes you through more than 100 compelling one-liners that do all sorts of handy things, such as manipulate line spacing, tally column values in a table, and get a list of users on a system. This cookbook of useful, customiza
Conditional depletion of airway progenitor cells induces peribronchiolar fibrosis
No full textRATIONALE: The respiratory epithelium has a remarkable capacity to respond to acute injury. In contrast, repeated epithelial injury is often associated with abnormal repair, inflammation and fibrosis. There is increasing evidence that non-ciliated epithelial cells play important roles in the repair of the bronchiolar epithelium following acute injury. Cellular processes underlying the repair and remodeling of the lung following chronic epithelial injury are poorly understood. OBJECTIVES: To identify cell processes mediating epithelial regeneration and remodeling after acute and chronic Clara cell depletion. METHODS: A transgenic mouse model was generated to conditionally express diphtheria toxin A to ablate Clara cells in the adult lung. Epithelial regeneration and peribronchiolar fibrosis were assessed after acute and chronic Clara cell depletion. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Acute Clara cell ablation caused squamous metaplasia of ciliated cells and induced proliferation of residual progenitor cells. Ciliated cells in the bronchioles and pro-SPC expressing cells in the bronchiolar alveolar duct junctions did not proliferate. Epithelial cell proliferation occurred at multiple sites along the airways and was not selectively associated with regions around neuroepithelial bodies. Chronic Clara cell depletion resulted in ineffective repair and caused peribronchiolar fibrosis. CONCLUSIONS: Co-localization of proliferation and cell type specific markers demonstrate that Clara cells are critical airway progenitor cells. Continuous depletion of Clara cells resulted in persistent squamous metaplasia, lack of normal re-epithelialization and peribronchiolar fibrosis. Induction of proliferation in subepithelial fibroblasts, supports the concept that chronic epithelial depletion caused peribronchiolar fibrosis
Compute genome composition perl script

A suite of Perl modules for handling microarray data
No full textWe describe PerlMAT, a Perl microarray toolkit providing easy to use object-oriented methods for the simplified manipulation, management and analysis of microarray data. The toolkit provides objects for the encapsulation of microarray spots and reporters, several common microarray data file formats and GAL files. In addition, an analysis object provides methods for data processing, and an image object enables the visualisation of microarray data. This important addition to the Perl developer's library will facilitate more widespread use of Perl for microarray application development within the bioinformatics community. The coherent interface and well-documented code enables rapid analysis by even inexperienced Perl developers. © The Author 2008. Published by Oxford University Press. All rights reserved

Introduction to The Canvas and Other Stories by Salamea Perl
No full textThe Canvas and Other Stories by Salomea Perl is a bilingual Yiddish-English text featuring the only known stories Perl wrote and published in the various Yiddish newspapers of her time. Uncovered after two years of research and translated by Ruth Murphy, the book presents the original Yiddish text and English translation in a side-by-side format. Murphy\u27s translations present Perl\u27s voice to English readers, while Perl\u27s rich, authentic Yiddish brings readers back to the Jewish, Yiddish-speaking streets of turn-of-the-century Poland. The insightful introduction by Dr. Justin Cammy gives the historical background of both the text and its author. The work of Salomea Perl, an author completely unknown until these translations, is an important addition to ongoing discovery of female Yiddish writers.
Salomea Perl (1869-1916) was born in the town of Lomża (now Poland) and raised in the larger city of Lublin. After completing studies at the University of Geneva, she settled in Warsaw. Her Yiddish first stories were published n Yontev Bletlekh, the self-proclaimed radical magazine published by Y. L. Peretz, starting in 1895. Her seventh and final known Yiddish work was published in 1910.
The publication here of all seven known stories by Salomea Perl is not only important because it marks the rediscovery of a forgotten Yiddish writer. It also allows us to consider her unsentimental portraits of a Jewish world in transition. Her stories reveal deep class divisions and the prevalence of Jewish poverty. She investigates how the religious values that guided everyday life often lacked compassion for lived experience. Perl explores the social and cultural ruptures caused by internal migration from small towns to big cities, and new manifestations of secular Jewish identity associated with modern life.
At the same time, for every frayed relationship between a husband and wife or a daughter shunning her father, Perl\u27s fiction also reveals unassuming acts of self-sacrifice and modesty. For every abandonment of religious obligation in favor of the seductions of the secular-modern world there remain those who are content to carry on lives of relative simplicity.
