The pulp and paper manufacturing technology career combines engineering with industrial training and seeks to develop effective, organized factory systems that are both people-oriented and cost-conscious. Like other engineering technologists, [pulp and paper manufacturing technologists] focus their work in areas such as research and development, manufacturing, sales, quality control and maintenance. Therefore, they may examine the overall production process of a pulp and paper operation to determine best practices. Also, they might introduce statistical performance measurements to analyze and improve operations and determine materials handling methods. 2, record 1, English, - pulp%20and%20paper%20manufacturing%20technologist

Office of the Commissioner of Review Tribunals, Ottawa, 2002. This paper offers a policy and political history of the disability benefit component of the Canada Pension Plan(CPP), the "poor cousin" of this public contributory pension plan. Broad policy trends and program developments are the focus, highlighting the role of Ministers, Members of Parliament, public servants, policy advisors and other political actors. To do so, the paper examines the pension reform agendas and records of the Pearson, Trudeau, Mulroney and Chrétien governments. The analysis covers the origins, early implementation, liberalization of benefits, and the more recent restraint and reorientation of the disability benefit program. 2, record 2, English, - Wrestling%20With%20The%20Poor%20Cousin%3A%20Canada%20Pension%20Plan%20Disability%20Policy%20and%20Practice%2C%201964%20%2D%202001

Bureau du Commissaire des tribunaux de révision, Ottawa, 2002. Le présent document brosse un historique, tant sur le plan des politiques que du contexte politique, du volet des prestations d'invalidité du Régime de pensions du Canada (RPC), le «parent pauvre» de ce régime de pension contributif de l'État. On s'intéressera tout particulièrement aux tendances générales en matière de politique ainsi qu'au développement des programmes, en soulignant le rôle des ministres, des députés, des fonctionnaires, des conseillers en matière de politiques et des autres intervenants politiques. Pour ce faire, le présent document analyse les programmes de réforme des pensions ainsi que les réalisations des gouvernements Pearson, Trudeau, Mulroney et Chrétien. L'analyse couvre les étapes des origines, de la mise en œuvre initiale, de la libéralisation des prestations ainsi que les plus récentes restrictions et réorientations dont le programme de prestations d'invalidité a fait l'objet. 2, record 2, French, - Le%20sort%20r%C3%A9serv%C3%A9%20au%20parent%20pauvre%20%3A%20R%C3%A9gime%20de%20pensions%20du%20Canada%20politique%20et%20pratique%20en%20mati%C3%A8re%20d%27invalidit%C3%A9%2C%201964%20%2D%202001

Computational capability has been developed to calculate sensitivity coefficients of generalized responses with respect to cross-section data in the SCALE code system. The focus of this paper is the implementation of generalized perturbation theory(GPT) for one-dimensional and two-dimensional deterministic neutron transport calculations. GPT is briefly summarized for computing sensitivity coefficients for reaction rate ratio responses within the existing framework of the TSUNAMI sensitivity and uncertainty(S/U) analysis code package in SCALE. GPT provides the capability to analyze generalized responses related to reactor analysis, such as homogenized cross-sections, relative powers, and conversion ratios, as well as measured experimental parameters. 1, record 3, English, - generalized%20perturbation%20theory

The SCALE code system includes a sensitivity and uncertainty (S/U) analysis code package called TSUNAMI. TSUNAMI originally focused on keff responses for criticality safety analysis and included the capability to compute sensitivity coefficients using forward and adjoint solutions from three-dimensional Monte Carlo or one-dimensional (1D) discrete ordinates eigenvalue calculations. 1, record 3, English, - generalized%20perturbation%20theory

Méthode GPT. Au milieu des années 1960, Usachev, Lewins et Gandini généralisèrent la théorie des perturbations à toute sorte d’observable, paramètre physique pouvant être mesuré (et/ou calculé), qui peut être représenté sous la forme d’un rapport de quantités intégrales, linéaires du flux et/ou du flux adjoint. Pour reconstruire la valeur d’un observable d’un système multiplicateur dans des conditions perturbées, la théorie généralisée des perturbations […] fait appel à une fonction particulière, dite fonction importance généralisée, qui est la solution unique de l’équation du bilan adjointe du système à laquelle on ajoute un terme inhomogène, appelé source généralisée. Ce terme, qui est strictement orthogonal au mode fondamental, contient, au premier ordre, l’information sur la nature de la perturbation et son impact sur le flux. 1, record 3, French, - th%C3%A9orie%20g%C3%A9n%C3%A9ralis%C3%A9e%20des%20perturbations

This diversity is widely considered a source of enrichment (passing from closed to open societies, beneficial encounters between cultures and ways of thinking). But it can also generate new incidents of discrimination: dominant groups affirming their identity over minority groups, development of prejudices, xenophobic or intolerant sentiments regarding certain communities, marginalization, exclusion or non-integration of certain groups of society, risks of identity withdrawal, isolation, even the segregation of these groups and the development of incidents of "communitarism." 3, record 4, English, - repli%20identitaire
