Excerpt from School of Engineering Research, University of Toronto: Bulletin No. 1, 1919 The testing of flat slab buildings under load by means of the extenso meter was carried on in the United States through the combined efforts of several universities, construction companies and consulting engineers. Much of the test data was kept as private information by the con struction companies concerned. Some of it appeared later in the form of University Bulletins. Early in 1916 the building department of the city of Toronto was asked for a permit to erect a large warehouse of the flat slab type. As Toronto had no building by-law of its own governing flat slabs, an examination was made of those in force in the principal American cities, but it was discovered that there was a marked lack of agreement among them. The City Architect's Department thereupon decided to grant permits for buildings designed according to the Chicago building ordi nance previously mentioned, on condition that the buildings when completed be subjected to extensometer tests. Accordingly five build ings, designed for different live loads, and having various panel lengths and schemes of reinforcement, were subjected to such tests by the, city Architect's Department working in conjunction with the Department of Applied Mechanics, University of Toronto. Of these, the T. Eaton factory, the last one tested, has been chosen as the subject of this paper, because in the conduct of the test, there was available the experience and skill in observation acquired from its predecessors.

The University of Toronto’s Faculty of Medicine is North America’s largest medical school and a major health consortium, boasting nine affiliated teaching hospitals and a network of research institutes. It is where insulin was pioneered, stem cells were first discovered, and famous physicians from Vincent Lam to Sheela Basrur began their careers. But despite all its major accomplishments, the faculty’s impressive history has never before been comprehensively documented. In Partnership for Excellence, senior medical historian and award-winning author Edward Shorter details the Faculty of Medicine’s history from its inception as a small provincial school to its present day status as an international powerhouse. Deeply researched through front-line interviews and primary sources, it ties the story of the faculty and its teaching hospitals to the general history of medicine over this period. Shorter emphasizes the enormous concentration of intellectual energy in the faculty that has allowed it to become the dominant force in Canadian medicine, home to a legion of medical pioneers and achievements.

Research on gene drive systems is rapidly advancing. Many proposed applications of gene drive research aim to solve environmental and public health challenges, including the reduction of poverty and the burden of vector-borne diseases, such as malaria and dengue, which disproportionately impact low and middle income countries. However, due to their intrinsic qualities of rapid spread and irreversibility, gene drive systems raise many questions with respect to their safety relative to public and environmental health. Because gene drive systems are designed to alter the environments we share in ways that will be hard to anticipate and impossible to completely roll back, questions about the ethics surrounding use of this research are complex and will require very careful exploration. Gene Drives on the Horizon outlines the state of knowledge relative to the science, ethics, public engagement, and risk assessment as they pertain to research directions of gene drive systems and governance of the research process. This report offers principles for responsible practices of gene drive research and related applications for use by investigators, their institutions, the research funders, and regulators.

Biocatalysis has become an essential tool in the chemical industry and is the core of industrial biotechnology, also known as white biotechnology, making use of biocatalysts in terms of enzymes or whole cells in chemical processes as an alternative to chemical catalysts. This shift can be seen in the many areas of daily life where biocatalysts-with

This book presents the methodology and applications of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) in measuring productivity, efficiency and effectiveness in Financial Services firms such as banks, bank branches, stock markets, pension funds, mutual funds, insurance firms, credit unions, risk tolerance, and corporate failure prediction. Financial service DEA research includes banking; insurance businesses; hedge, pension and mutual funds; and credit unions. Significant business transactions among financial service organizations such as bank mergers and acquisitions and valuation of IPOs have also been the focus of DEA research. The book looks at the range of DEA uses for financial services by presenting prior studies, examining the current capabilities reflected in the most recent research, and projecting future new uses of DEA in finance related applications.
