The Cost

This research studies a general modeling to evaluate different scenarios of travel patterns and their impact on the daily cost negotiated in the Real Time and Day-Ahead market, using the GAMS methodology in a MILP model, evaluating also a characterization of the PQP market (price quantity probability). The purpose of this characterization is to determine the behavior of the electric energy market, considering also the deterioration of batteries and the negotiations of it in real time in situations of shortage and overload, optimizing in this way the effects of the analysis of the cost of the application of the battery on the different travel patterns, consequently triggering the emergence of the development of the local electric transport aggregator industry.

Pine Beetle

This study characterizes the log home and timber frame manufacturing sector in British Columbia, with a focus on the potential of utilizing insect-killed wood from the mountain pine beetle outbreak. A mail survey was conducted in the spring of 2003 to assess the industry's status. In 2002, an estimated 200 companies were active within BC using approximately 200 000 m3 of fibre, employing 1500 workers, and producing 2200 homes to generate sales of $140 million CDN. Results indicate that these sectors are poised for growth and that firms are willing to using insect-killed wood.

This study seeks to identify the hotspots for the secondary spread of non-indigenous species (NIS) resulting for recreational boating travel patterns across the Mediterranean Sea, and investigate the potential for internal spread within each study region. Three Mediterranean regions will be sampled for: 1) NIS richness in the marinas and NIS richness and abundance from recreational vessels; 2) biopollution level of transient recreational boats; 3) geographic range of NIS within each region; 4) hull cleaning and travel history of recreational boats. The results will then be tested with other abiotic factors to determine which factors are significant in contributing to making some marinas more high-risk for the presence and transfer of alien species. Finally, a spatial connectivity network analysis will be presented of the 30 sampled marinas by combining a risk-level for each marina along with recreational boating travel patterns. Marina selection is based on the busiest marinas for recreational boaters in each region in combination with securing permission and feasibility. Samples for Amathia verticillatum will be collected from each region and genetically tested to determine if they share the same initial or secondary source of invasion.

OBJECTIVE:To determine whether endoscopists and general internistsagreed with the characterization of appropriatenessfor endoscopy of various clinical scenarios, as previouslyreported by the RAND Corporation.DESIGN: Mail survey.STUDY SAMPLE: All endoscopists in western Canadaand a random sample of general internists who did notperform endoscopy.METHODS: Questionnaires were sent to 179 endoscopistsin western Canada who were asked to rate the 53 scenariosfor endoscopy on a nine-point scale ranging from mostappropriate to most inappropriate. A similar questionnairewas sent to 39 general internists practising in theprovince of Alberta.RESULTS: Response rate was 72% of endoscopists(n=128) and 64% of general internists (n=25). Amongthe endoscopists, there was agreement with the RANDclassification for 32 scenarios. All 18 indicationspreviously thought to be appropriate were consideredto be appropriate. However, endoscopists agreed withonly six of 16 equivocal and eight of 19 indicationsconsidered inappropriate. Discrepancies were reviewedby five experienced endoscopists and most appeared tobe related to a concern regarding possible malignancylinked in part with the definition of failure to respondto medical therapy; and to a refusal to request a bariummeal before endoscopy. Among general internists, therewas agreement with RAND in 26 scenarios. When the appropriatenessrankings of endoscopists and general internists werecompared, there was agreement in 40 of 53 scenarios.Significant discrepancies in ratings were identifiedin scenarios in which barium studies were describedas being normal, known or not done.CONCLUSIONS: The equivocal and inappropriateratings developed by the RAND Corporation are not uniformlyaccepted by the endoscopy community or general internists.Use of the RAND indications for assessing quality assurancecan be challenged.

Logarithmic Growth

Mycobacteriophage R1 was originally isolated from a lysogenic culture of M. butyricum. The virus was propagated on a leucine-requiring derivative of M. smegmatis, 607 leu−, isolated by nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis of typestrain ATCC 607. Growth was accomplished in a minimal medium containing glycerol and glucose as carbon source and enriched by the addition of 80 μg/ ml L-leucine. Bacteria in early logarithmic growth phase were infected with virus at a multiplicity of 5, and incubated with aeration for 8 hours. The partially lysed suspension was diluted 1:10 in growth medium and incubated for a further 8 hours. This permitted stationary phase cells to re-enter logarithmic growth and resulted in complete lysis of the culture.
