The Children's Oral Health Initiative(COHI) was developed as a means to address the disparity between the oral health of First Nations and Inuit and that of the general Canadian population. COHI was launched on a test basis in Fall 2004. COHI focuses on the prevention of dental disease and promotion of good oral health practices. The goal of COHI is to shift the emphasis from a primarily treatment based approach to a more balanced prevention and treatment focus. The initial focus for oral health promotion will be directed at three target groups : pregnant women and primary caregivers; pre-school children, 0-4 years of age; and school children, 5-7 years of age. Health Canada expects that the COHI, once fully implemented in subsequent years, will result in significant improvement of the oral health in First Nations and Inuit. 1, record 7, English, - Children%26rsquo%3Bs%20Oral%20Health%20Initiative

L'Initiative en santé buccodentaire des enfants (ISBE) a été élaborée pour combler l'écart qui existe en matière de santé buccodentaire entre les collectivités des Premières nations et des Inuits et l'ensemble de la population canadienne. L'ISBE a été lancée à l'automne 2004 à titre d'essai. L'ISBE est essentiellement axé sur sur la prévention des maladies buccodentaires et la promotion de bonnes habitudes d'hygiène buccodentaire. L'ISBE, se concentre sur un programme plus équilibré de prévention et de traitement préventif plutôt que sur le traitement primaire même. La promotion de la santé buccodentaire s'adressera initialement aux trois groupes cibles suivants : les femmes enceintes et les principaux pourvoyeurs de soins; les enfants en âge préscolaire de 0 à 4 ans; les enfants en âge scolaire de 5 à 7 ans. Santé Canada prévoit une amélioration importante de la santé buccodentaire des Premières nations et des Inuits une fois la mise en œuvre de l'ISBE. 1, record 7, French, - Initiative%20en%20sant%C3%A9%20buccodentaire%20des%20enfants

The Global Precipitation Climatology Project(GPCP) is an element of the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment(GEWEX) of the World Climate Research Program(WCRP). It was established by the WCRP in 1986 with the initial goal of providing monthly mean precipitation data on a 2. 5 x 2. 5 degree latitude-longitude grid for the period 1986-1995. This was recently extended to the year 2000. The GPCP will accomplish this by merging infrared and microwave satellite estimates of precipitation with rain gauge data from more than 30, 000 stations. 3, record 15, English, - Global%20Precipitation%20Climatology%20Project

Many problems can be represented as an initial state, a goal state and a set of operators that define operations to go to new states from a given state. The states that can be reached from the initial state by applying the rules in all possible ways define the state space. The problem is then to reach the goal state from the initial state. By this formulation almost any problem can be reduced to a search problem. 3, record 17, English, - state%20space
