Mid-Winter Meeting (Family Law: Medical and Counselling Records panel). Thanks are extended to my co-panellists, the Honourable Mr. Justice Peter Martin and Ms. Danielle Aubry, Executive Director of Calgary Communities Against Sexual Abuse, and to the anonymous reviewer for this Journal, for their helpful comments. Wayne N. Renke is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Law, University of Al...

The Cognitive Work Analysis (CWA) framework has recently been applied to the design of patient monitoring systems in amte care medical settings. Work Domain Analysis (WDA), models the problem field in which people act. We argue that the most widely-used form of WDA which uses an abstraction-decomposition space (ADS) may not be the most effective form when applied to ICUs. We propose an approach...

The need for effective methods for the detection and measurement of chemical warfare agents (CWA) has increased in recent years. Current stockpiles need to be monitored to ensure their safe containment. The remediation of sites containing abandoned CWAs requires analysis in support of safe removal and destruction of agents. More recently, counterterrorism efforts have underscored the need for m...

Body protective clothing and suits against NBC agents are playing vital role in the NBC defence during war and training scenarios. Hence, reviewing about the past, present and expected future development in this NBC protective clothing area is an important task. This review brings out a sequence related to the NBC protective clothing, their type, various materials available for the development ...

Suppose that A is a pointed CW-complex. We look at how difficult it is to construct an A-cellular space B from copies of A by repeatedly taking homotopy colimits; this is determined by an ordinal number called the complication of B. Studying the complication leads to an iterative technique, based on resolutions, for constructing the A-cellular approximation CWA(X) of an arbitrary space X .

We appreciate the work of your staff and the New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission (NEIWPCC) in preparing a comprehensive and informative TMDL report and incorporating public comment. We also appreciate that Vermont and the other northeast states have been in the forefront of state efforts to develop mercury reduction programs. My staff and I look forward to continued cooper...

Among the blistering (vesicant) chemical warfare agents (CWA), sulfur mustard is the most important since it is known as the “King of chemical warfare agents”. The use of sulfur mustard has caused serious damages in several organs, especially the eyes, skin, respiratory, central and peripheral nervous systems after short and long term exposure, incapacitating and even killing people and troops....

A novel, facile and efficient method was developed for the activation of acetic acid modulated zirconium MOFs. The protocol involves briefly heating the material in water using microwave irradiation. MOF-808, DUT-84 and UiO-66 were all activated in this manner to remove the modulator and organic solvent from the framework post synthesis, with retention of MOF integrity post activation. The degr...
