The Montreal Council of Social Agencies(MCSA), a co-ordinating organization for English-speaking, non-Roman Catholic social agencies, was formed in 1921 by John Howard Toynbee Falk, head of McGill' s Department of Social Studies, later the McGill University School of Social Workers. Although details of the organization of the MCSA have been modified over the years, the basic structure remained constant : a Board of Directors, elected from the member agencies, directed the MCSA through administrative standing committees and, more importantly, set up numerous special committees to study specific social problems under the aegis of area advisory groups for health, aging, urban renewal, recreation, etc. The overwhelming emphasis of the MCSA on planning and research reflects its role as animator, information exchange and coordinator of a great variety of social agencies and groups, from major hospitals and fund-raising organizations to church groups and boys’ clubs. In 1968, the MCSA merged with its French homologue, the Conseil de Développement Social du Montréal métropolitain.

The European Space Agency was formed from the union of ESRO(European Space Research Organization) and ELDO(European Launcher Development Organization) in 1975. The head office is in Paris. Created through European cooperation, each member country donates funds to each project. As yet there has been no independent ESA manned mission, but the agency uses the US Space Shuttle to conduct experiments in space, and is developing an orbital laboratory for the International Space Station.

The Glenn Research Center is a NASA center, located in Cleveland, Ohio between Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and the Rocky River Reservation(Part of the Cleveland Metroparks). Glenn is a NASA research center, whose primary mission is to develop science and technology for use in aeronautics and space. It was established in 1942 as part of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics(NACA) and was later incorporated into the National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA) as a laboratory for aircraft engine research. It was initially named the Aircraft Engine Research Laboratory after funding approval was given in June 1940. It was renamed the Flight Propulsion Research Laboratory in 1947, the Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory in 1948 and the NASA Lewis Research Center in 1958. On march 1, 1999, the Lewis Research Center was officially renamed the NASA John H. Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field after John Glenn(American fighter pilot, astronaut and politician) and George W. Lewis(head of NASA from 1919 to 1947).

ISAS utilizes "aerodynamic lifting bodies" to conduct space research and observations, and is developing launch vehicles and satellites for such purposes. In its former guise as part of Tokyo University Institute of Industrial Science in 1955, the organization conducted the horizontal flight tests of pencil rockets, and as Tokyo University Aerospace Research Center, it launched Japan's first artificial satellite, Ohsumi, in 1970. These entities disappeared in 1981 in a "progressive amalgamation" under the direct control of the Ministry of Education. The head office of ISAS is at Sagamigahara in Kanagawa Prefecture, and the test range is at Uchinoura in Kagoshima Prefecture.

Guide samples are prepared by senior inspectors to serve as comparative samples for interpreting abnormal grading factors present in a particular crop year, usually to reflect damage to grain from a specific area or to reflect a single grading factor. Senior inspectors also review samples of all types of shipments to ensure the accuracy of grain inspections. Each inspection point must maintain grade average samples and submit them periodically to head office for review. Any deviation from normal patterns is investigated, which may involve chemical analysis in the Grain Research Laboratory.

Des inspecteurs principaux préparent des échantillons témoins qui serviront de points de comparaison pour l'interprétation de facteurs d'agréage anormaux qui peuvent se présenter certaines campagnes; ces échantillons témoins sont habituellement préparés pour montrer les types de dommages qui peuvent être causés au grain provenant d'une région particulière ou tout simplement pour isoler un facteur d'agréage. Des inspecteurs principaux révisent aussi les échantillons prélevés sur tous les types de grains expédiés afin de vérifier la précision des inspections de grain. Chaque point d'inspection doit conserver des échantillons moyens des grades et en envoie périodiquement des prélèvements à l'administration centrale pour étude. Toute anomalie fait l'objet d'une enquête et les échantillons douteux peuvent être soumis à une analyse chimique au laboratoire de recherches sur les grains.

Cancer cures come and go, yet many cancers are now fully treatable with impressive results. On 5 May 1998 the Head of the US National Cancer Institute Dr Richard Klausner declared a major breakthrough in research with two new drugs, endostatin and angiostatin. Endostatin prevents growth of cancer cells, while angiostatin stops blood vessel formation in or next to cancer growths.

Domaine(s)
  • Biochimie
CONT

Les tumeurs cancéreuses solides ne peuvent se développer sans «recruter» de nouveaux vaisseaux sanguins et ce processus d'angiogénèse est responsable d'un problème majeur dans le traitement des cancers: la résistance acquise aux médicaments. Une étude expérimentale conforte des espoirs suscités depuis quelques temps par la thérapie angiogénique. En traitant des souris atteintes de divers cancers par un inhibiteur spécifique de l'angiogenèse, l'endostatine, on peut véritablement «endormir» les tumeurs de façon prolongée.

Hamid Ahmad has chosen beef for his studies on the production, processing, and storage of dried meat products. Mr Hamid is the head of the IDRC-supported Meat Processing Project of the Pakistan Council for Scientific and Industrial Research(PCSIR) in Lahore. His research team has concentrated on the development of products based on traditional Pakistani foods. The product they are most hopeful about is based on "barian", a food traditionally made mainly with pulses(edible seeds of leguminous plants). Because of rising costs and hygiene problems, the practice of using mutton in barian is not as common as it once was. By incorporating beef into the barian, the protein content of this widely used food product is greatly enhanced.
