This resource that lists funded University of Alberta CIHR Open Operating Grant Program (OOGP) applications and is ready for download. Although this information is publically available at http://webapps.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/cfdd/ , this resource compiles information specifically about and for University

as a “big site”. Though this expansion does not fundamentally change the basic processes in industrial modularization projects, it presents more challenges in project planning. Previous research efforts either focused on the material delivery process or the module assembly process alone, while the

integration of both for evaluating the impact of logistics performances upon modular construction planning has yet to be addressed. Thus, a special logistics simulation template is developed based on the Simphony platform to facilitate the simulation modeling of module fabrication, transportation, assembly

Teleconference minutes are available for download for the February 6, 2014 University Delegate teleconference. Stacey McKinnon (Manager, CIHR Project Management Office) provided an update to the VPR roundtable meeting that took place with 43 universities on January 15 and 16, 2014. The reforms and

the roles of University Delegates were discussed. Adrian Mota (Manager of Business Implementation, CIHR) provided an update to the Fellowship and Knowledge Synthesis Pilots. Greg Huyer (Acting Director of Open Programs, CIHR) provided an update to the Fall 2013 OOGP results and discussed the Spring

Introduction: A simple, cost effective method for engaging students and promoting use of our health sciences library's rare books collection was sought. An environmental scan of other special collections libraries' programs resulted in our decision to capitalize on the adult colouring trend

. Description: Colouring pages were created by a practicum student, who digitally traced images from special collection books using an Intuos tablet and MyPaint. These colouring pages were released both in the library and online. In the library, a reproduction of the original document was posted above a table

containing copies of the colouring pages and colouring supplies. Patrons were encouraged to colour the page and post their artistic efforts beside the original. Patrons were also provided with information on visiting the special collection. Outcomes: We began releasing pages in March 2017 and as such do not

and French exhibit grammatical gender in ways that English does not, texts written in these languages are able to play on the interaction between the gender of the words themselves and the themes of social gender in a way that an English-language text ostensibly cannot. This project explores the

effect of the linguistic category of grammatical gender on the themes of social gender through the process of translation, with special attention paid to the ways in which this interaction can present obstacles in the transfer and adaptation of the text across languages.

The UNderstanding Severe Thunderstorms and Alberta Boundary Layer Experiment (UNSTABLE) in July 2008 was a field project to investigate the initiation of thunderstorms in southern Alberta. Special field observations included an enhanced surface network augmented with instrumented vehicles. Upper

contacts only the bonding pads or perimeter of the MEMS device, preventing damage to sensitive central structures. Using special techniques that only rely on shearing motions, the adhesive is engaged and disengaged to move the MEMS device between common carriers such as tacky Gel-Paks. This is the first

part of a project to implement such adhesives into commercial manufacturing of MEMS or other sensitive electronic devices.

River was evaluated fenced wild hoofed stock. Unfortunately, heavy poaching has forced nation-wide hunting and trophy bans. Nevertheless, the ranching project at Athi River has resumed under special permit.

Three projects have evaluated the potential of game cropping, domestication and ranching in Kenya. The UNDP/FAO Wildlife Management Project explored the potential for game cropping but difficulties in meat handling as well as public controversy redirected attention to a concessionaire system of

sport hunting. The Galana Game Ranch Research Project evaluated pastoral management of habituated animals. The oryx was considered to have the greatest potential; buffalo were dangerous and the ecological adaptations of eland could not be expressed under these conditions. Game Ranching Ltd. at Athi
