OBS

A plaza for all seasons. People who live in, work in or visit Hull, Quebec, have a beautiful new public space to enjoy, thanks to a PWGSC [Public Works and Government Services Canada]-managed restoration and redesign project. The newly reopened plaza at Parc du Portage is popular among employees at lunchtime, but is also drawing strollers in the evening and bringing new life into the downtown area. The plaza is located between Phases I and II of the Government of Canada Place du Portage office complex and the provincial/municipal Maison du Citoyen building. The plaza is a few minutes’ walk from the Museum of Civilization, one of the national capital' s major visitor attractions. An underground parking garage owned by the Government of Canada is situated beneath the plaza. The restoration and redesign project had two main components--repair of the waterproof membrane of the garage roof, which had been leaking, and restoration of the plaza. Improvements to the plaza included the addition of more fountains in the pool, and the construction of a low wall around the pool providing places to sit. At night, innovative new lighting casts a shimmering reflection onto the nearby building walls. The plaza should also be a hit in winter because of a versatile design that allows the pool fountains to be dismantled and the pool to be converted into a skating rink.

  • Genetics
CONT

Two decades of culture-independent studies have confirmed that microbial communities represent the most complex and concentrated pool of phylogenetic diversity on the planet. There remains a need for innovative molecular tools that can further our knowledge of microbial diversity and its functional implications. We present the method and application of serial analysis of ribosomal sequence tags(SARST) as a novel tool for elucidating complex microbial communities, such as those found in soils and sediments. Serial analysis of ribosomal sequence tags uses a series of enzymatic reactions to amplify and ligate ribosomal sequence tags(RSTs) from bacterial small subunit rRNA gene(SSU rDNA) V1-regions into concatemers that are cloned and sequenced.

Les techniques faisant partie du séquençage à haut débit comprennent l'analyse sériée d'étiquettes de séquences ribosomiques (SARST) et les plateformes de séquençage de la prochaine génération comme le pyroséquençage 454, l'Illumina et le séquençage par ligation (SOLiD). Ces méthodes génèrent des milliers de séquences, permettant une grosse couverture de la diversité bactérienne.

Subject field(s)
  • Water Sports
DEF

A swimming pool, especially an indoor one; a complex containing one or more such pools.

CONT

A natatorium is, strictly speaking, a structurally separate building containing a swimming pool. In Latin, a cella naratariua was a swimming pool in its own building; thus, the sense was much as now. ... It is usually taken for granted that it will also house locker rooms, and perhaps capacity for allied activities, such as a diving tank, facilities for water polo, and so forth. Many colleges and universities have natatoria.

CONT

Located adjacent to Ahearn Field House, the Natatorium is handicapped accessible and includes two 25-yard pools with pacer clock, diving well with 3 meter & 1 meter boards, and sunning deck.

CONT

Located in the fieldhouse on the campus of Prince George’s Community College, the Bickford Natatorium includes a heated, 50-meter, indoor swimming pool, an indoor heated training pool, an indoor heated whirlpool, and locker rooms.

Dealer Tank Wagon price is established by taking the common zone price and subtracting discount from it to determine the DTW [Dealer Tank Wagon]. The discount formula is complex and is based on the pool margin for unleaded gas and distribution approved by managers. By definition the pool margin is the difference between the common zone price and the zone rack price.
