A Tangible Lightness: The United Nations Environmental Council Headquarters, NYC.
No full textThe Design of the United Nations Environmental Council Headquarters foresees the development of an architecture of significance both for its site in Manhattan and also worldwide serving sustainability. Thus the subsequent architecture aims to achieve this from an urban to building scale responding acutely to form, program and materiality. Architecturally the headquarters building strives towards lightness. This word expresses the goal both as image and concept, appealing to both the physical and intellectual senses. To a person it is a collection of moments as described in the following haiku: Moment of wonder, the lingering glance captures, the senses & mind.SADD - Strategic Architectural Design DevelopmentMaterialisationArchitectur
ALG: automated genotype calling of Luminex assays.
No full textSingle nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most commonly used polymorphic markers in genetics studies. Among the different platforms for SNP genotyping, Luminex is one of the less exploited mainly due to the lack of a robust (semi-automated and replicable) freely available genotype calling software. Here we describe a clustering algorithm that provides automated SNP calls for Luminex genotyping assays. We genotyped 3 SNPs in a cohort of 330 childhood leukemia patients, 200 parents of patient and 325 healthy individuals and used the Automated Luminex Genotyping (ALG) algorithm for SNP calling. ALG genotypes were called twice to test for reproducibility and were compared to sequencing data to test for accuracy. Globally, this analysis demonstrates the accuracy (99.6%) of the method, its reproducibility (99.8%) and the low level of no genotyping calls (3.4%). The high efficiency of the method proves that ALG is a suitable alternative to the current commercial software. ALG is semi-automated, and provides numerical measures of confidence for each SNP called, as well as an effective graphical plot. Moreover ALG can be used either through a graphical user interface, requiring no specific informatics knowledge, or through command line with access to the open source code. The ALG software has been implemented in R and is freely available for non-commercial use either at http://alg.sourceforge.net or by request to [email protected]

Les recommandations en chirurgie dentaire (Partie 2, Les recommandations concernant la pratique clinique)
No full textLes Recommandations de bonne pratique sont définies comme des propositions développées méthodiquement pour aider le praticien à rechercher les soins les plus appropriés dans des circonstances cliniques données . La chirurgie dentaire est marquée par l accroissement constant des données publiées et le développement rapide de nouvelles techniques qui modifient constamment les stratégies de prise en charge préventive, diagnostique et thérapeutique des patients. Dès lors, il est très difficile pour chaque professionnel de santé d assimiler toutes les informations nouvelles apportées par la littérature scientifique, d en faire la synthèse critique et de les incorporer dans sa pratique quotidienne. L élaboration de recommandations professionnelles fait partie des solutions à ce besoin d adaptation constante et vise à améliorer en permanence la qualité des soins. Mais qui élabore ces recommandations ? Comment sont-elles élaborées ? Comment le praticien en est-il informé ? Ont-elles une valeur légale ? Quelles sont les recommandations actuelles concernant les actes cliniques en chirurgie dentaire ? Autant de questions auxquelles cette thèse tente d'apporter des réponses.LILLE2-UFR Odontologie (593502202) / SudocSudocFranceF
Four veterinary colleges and a common vision: Ecosystem health in Canadian veterinary colleges
No full textOpen Access to Research: Changing Researcher Behavior Through University and Funder Mandates
No full textThe primary target of the worldwide Open Access initiative is the 2.5 million articles published every year in the planet's 25,000 peer-reviewed research journals across all scholarly and scientific fields. Without exception, every one of these articles is an author give-away, written, not for royalty income, but solely to be used, applied and built upon by other researchers. The optimal and inevitable solution for this give-away research is that it should be made freely accessible to all its would-be users online and not only to those whose institutions can afford subscription access to the journal in which it happens to be published. Yet this optimal and inevitable solution, already fully within the reach of the global research community for at least two decades now, has been taking a remarkably long time to be grasped. The problem is not particularly an instance of "eDemocracy" one way or the other; it is an instance of inaction because of widespread misconceptions (reminiscent of Zeno's Paradox). The solution is for the world's research institutions and funders to (1) extend their existing "publish or perish" mandates so as to (2) require their employees and fundees to maximize the usage and impact of the research they are employed and funded to conduct and publish by (3) depositing their final drafts in their Open Access (OA) Institutional Repositories immediately upon acceptance for publication in order to (4) make their findings freely accessible to all their potential users webwide. OA metrics can then be used to measure and reward research progress and impact; and multiple layers of links, tags, commentary and discussion can be built upon and integrated with the primary research

Merrick Brown and Mark Pocock offered excellent research assistance, while Davis Phillips provided invaluable aid in identifying and choosing the sample. Most important, Jamie M. Doyle was instrumental in improving, fielding and analyzing the initial results of the questionnaire. Joseph Altonji, Ronald Ehrenberg, Scott Gehlbach, Gary Solon and Jeff Underwood gave very helpful suggestions, and useful comments were received from participants in seminars at several universities and the NBER.

Ecosystem health as a clinical rotation for senior students in Canadian veterinary schools
No full textThis report describes the first 4 years of an experimental rotation in ecosystem health offered to senior veterinary students in Canada. Faculty from the 4 Canadian veterinary colleges collaborated in offering the rotation once annually at one of the colleges. The first rotation was held in Guelph, Ontario, in 1993, followed in successive years by rotations at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec and Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. The rotation is a predominantly field-based experience that allows students to work with veterinary and other role models who are actively engaged in clinical research related to ecosystem health. Five specific field studies that worked particularly well during the rotations are presented. These studies involved investigating mortality in wildlife due to botulism, designing an environmental surveillance system around herds of beef cattle, using belugas to evaluate the health of the St. Lawrence River, dealing with competition for water use by aquaculture and agriculture and exploring the role of veterinarians during major coastal oil spills. The rotation was very successful.
