Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Throughout the middle decades of the 20th Century Indigenous people were the target of efforts to assist in economic development. In large part these externally developed, modernisation based efforts failed. In response, a second wave of Indigenous development has emerged; one in which Indigenous peoples are striving to rebuild their 'nations' and improve their lot through economic development 'on their own terms'. Key to this approach is the pursuit by Indigenous people of the recognition of their rights to their traditional lands and resources. This paper examines the emergence of this second wave of Indigenous development in Canada.

Genomic deletion marking an emerging subclone of Francisella tularensis subsp. holarctica in France and the Iberian Peninsula.
- 2007
-
In: Applied and Environmental Microbiology. - 0099-2240 .- 1098-5336. ; 73:22, s. 7465-70
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Francisella tularensis subsp. holarctica is widely disseminated in North America and the boreal and temperate regions of the Eurasian continent. Comparative genomic analyses identified a 1.59-kb genomic deletion specific to F. tularensis subsp. holarctica isolates from Spain and France. Phylogenetic analysis of strains carrying this deletion by multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis showed that the strains comprise a highly related set of genotypes, implying that these strains were recently introduced or recently emerged by clonal expansion in France and the Iberian Peninsula.

Device Performance of APFO-3/PCBM Solar Cells with Controlled Morphology
- 2009

In: Advanced Materials. - Weinheim : Wiley. - 0935-9648 .- 1521-4095. ; 21:43, s. 4398-
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Polymer/fullerene solar cells with three different device structures: A) diffuse bilayer, B) spontaneously formed multilayer and C) vertically homogeneous thin films, are fabricated. The photocurrent/voltage performance is compared and it is found that the self-stratified structure (B) yields the highest energy conversion efficiency.

Creation and enlargement of atrial defects in congenital heart disease.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Transcatheter creation and enlargement of interatrial defects (IAD) may improve hemodynamics; however, procedural outcomes have not been well defined. Hospital records were reviewed for children who underwent percutaneous procedures to create and enlarge an IAD and were grouped as follows: (1) right and (2) left heart obstructive lesions, (3) left atrial (LA) decompression during left heart assist, (4) failing Fontan circulation, and (5) miscellaneous. Forty-five children (mean age, 3.4 +/- 4.7 years; 30 (67%) male) were identified. In group 1 (n = 6), all achieved endpoints of right atrial (RA) decompression (n = 2), improved left ventricular filling (n = 3), or improved arterial saturations (n = 1). In group 2 (n = 18), mean LA pressure decreased (21 +/- 6 to 13 +/- 5 mmHg, p < 0.001) and arterial saturations increased (61 +/- 13% to 78 +/- 11%, p < 0.001). All except 2 patients achieved definitive repair, further palliation (n = 9), or heart transplantation (HTX) (n = 7). In group 3 (n = 5), the LA was decompressed (21 to 13 mmHg, p = 0.03) in all, and all except 1 patient survived to HTX (n = 2) or full recovery (n = 2). In group 4 (n = 11), of 7 patients with a low cardiac output syndrome after surgery, despite improved atrial shunting, 3 died and 1 required a HTX. In group 5 (n = 5), RA decompression (n = 1) or improved arterial saturation (n = 4) was achieved in all. Overall, 5-year HTX free survival was 75%. Mechanical ventilation before the procedure (p < 0.001), the need for a blade septostomy (p = 0.002), and higher LA pressures after the procedure (p = 0.04) independently predicted mortality or the requirement for HTX. Transcatheter optimization of an atrial communication can help optimize treatment strategies and has a low procedural risk.
