Endothelial cell(EC) apoptosis may play an important role in blood vessel development, homeostasis and remodelling. In support of this concept, EC apoptosis has been detected within remodelling vessels in vivo, and inactivation of EC apoptosis regulators has caused dramatic vascular phenotypes. EC apoptosis has also been associated with cardiovascular pathologies. Therefore, understanding the regulation of EC apoptosis, with the goal of intervening in this process, has become a current research focus.

The MSRR-2 will be designed to accommodate the focus of currently planned and foreseeable materials science investigations through the use of a variety of on-orbit replaceable, investigation class EMs.

CONT

The initial MSRF concept is three Materials Science Research Racks (MSRR-1, MSRR-2, MSRR-3) which will developed for a phased deployment beginning on UF-3 in September, 2001. Concepts for the required Experiment Modules which satisfy the goals and objectives of the Materials Science program, are being developed. It is anticipated that the useful life of each rack will be from a minimum of five (5) to up to ten (10) years. The operational life of the Experiment Modules (EM) is planned for a minimum of five (5) years. The Ems will be designed to be serviceable and maintainable on orbit for their operational duration to satisfy the peer-selected scientific flight investigations. Flexibility is to be included in the design for ORU [Orbital Replaceable Unit] replacement of key components in order to extend useful life. The Experiment Modules for each rack will be designed to be "smart" furnaces with the avionics packages designed to support each investigation. The Experiment Modules for MSRR-2 and MSRR-3 will be designed with optimum flexibility to support on-orbit maintenance and change out of key components.

The project is named the Autonomous Space Processor for Orbital Debris(ASPOD) and is a NASA/Universities Space Research Association(USRA) sponsored design project. The development of ASPOD and the students’ abilities in designing and building a prototype spacecraft are the ultimate goals of this project. This year's focus entailed the development of a secondary robotic arm and end-effector to work in tandem with an existent arm in the removal of orbital debris. The new arm features the introduction of composite materials and a linear drive system, thus producing a light-weight and more accurate prototype. The main characteristic of the end-effector design is that it incorporates all of the motors and gearing internally, thus not subjecting them to the harsh space environment. Furthermore, the arm and the end-effector are automated by a control system with positional feedback. This system is composed of magnetic and optical encoders connected to a 486 PC via two servo-motor controller cards. Programming a series of basic routines and sub-routines has allowed the ASPOD prototype to become more autonomous. The new system is expected to perform specified tasks with a positional accuracy of 0. 5 cm.

In the next two years, Health Canada and Human Resources Development Canada, in conjunction with the voluntary sector, will develop a policy internships and academic fellowships pilot project. The internships would involve exchange initiatives between the government and the voluntary sector. This project will focus on placing voluntary sector employees as interns in national voluntary organizations working jointly with federal government departments on policy issues. Interns would work primarily on policy files that would help to enhance the capacity of the voluntary sector. The academic fellowships will be developed to focus on policy-relevant research that directly relates to the voluntary sector. These internships and fellowships would provide specific knowledge, skills and expertise required by both the sector and government. It will also provide the opportunity for greater collaboration and information-sharing between government, academics, and the voluntary sector.

Au cours des deux années à venir, Santé Canada et Développement des ressources humaines Canada, de concert avec le secteur bénévole, mettront au point un projet pilote de stages et de bourses d'études en élaboration de politiques. Les stages consisteront en des échanges entre le gouvernement et le secteur bénévole. Ce projet aura pour objet de trouver à des employés du secteur bénévole des places de stage au sein d'organismes bénévoles nationaux travaillant conjointement avec des ministères fédéraux sur des questions de politiques. Les stagiaires travailleront surtout sur des dossiers stratégiques qui aideront à renforcer les moyens d'action du secteur bénévole. Grâce aux bourses d'études, des chercheurs pourront se concentrer sur des recherches en matière de politiques se rapportant directement au secteur bénévole. Ces stages et bourses d'études fourniront les connaissances, compétences et savoir-faire particuliers dont le secteur et le gouvernement ont besoin, de même que l'occasion d'améliorer la collaboration et la communication d'information entre le gouvernement, les universitaires et le secteur bénévole.

What is Post-Genomics Biology? In this era of whole-genome sequencing, the questions are changing-the driving force is no longer to clone and sequence genes in the random fashion that was available before, but rather to use the wealth of information available from the sequencing projects to understand gene function and gene product interactions at the physiological level. Do homologous proteins have homologous functions in different organisms? How do we use information from a 'simple’ organism to focus research in more complex ones? What do all these genes do that have not been seen using traditional methods? How can we understand the different roles of members of gene families which are only now appearing as a result of the genome sequencing projects?

OBS

[The] Intersecretariat Committee on Scientific Programmes Relating to Oceanography(ICSPRO)... was established in 1969, independent of the ACC, for the purpose of enlisting and coordinating interagency support for the scientific programmes of the IOC, which was established in 1960. Its mandate and membership is thus more limited than that of the ACC Subcommittee, with a focus on marine scientific research and support services. ICSPRO now meets for one or two days in connection with annual sessions of the ACC Subcommittee and currently its work is focused primarily on developing and coordinating contributions of UN agencies to the 1998 International Year of the Ocean(an initiative of UNESCO and proclaimed in 1994 by the General Assembly) and to "Expo ’98" in Lisbon, an international event entitled "The Oceans : A Heritage for the Future. "Its work thus does not overlap that of the Subcommittee. The members of ICSPRO are the UN(DOALOS), UNESCO(IOC), IMO, WMO, FAO and UNEP.
