Puckster’s First Hockey Sweater and Puckster’s First Hockey Game by L. Schulz Nicholson
Authors: Campbell Sandy 
Published: April 2016

Schultz Nicholson, Lorna. Puckster’s First Hockey Sweater and Puckster’s First Hockey Game. Toronto: Fenn/Tundra, 2011. Print. These two volumes are the first in the new Puckster series, a collaboration between Fenn/Tundra of Tundra Books and Hockey Canada. The stories are about an after-school team of hockey-playing animals. The team is inclusive in terms of gender, ability, colour and species, being comprised of a raccoon, a squirrel, a brown bear, a moose who plays on a sledge, a pink fox who is female, and of course, Puckster, who is a polar bear. The dressing room also appears to be unisex. Each book tells a story that also teaches values. In Puckster’s First Hockey Sweater, the animals want team sweaters, so they work as a team to make enough money by shoveling snow. In Puckster’s First Hockey Game, they play a see-saw game which ends in a tie. Throughout they console and encourage each other as they score and are scored upon. Each player is shown making an important contribution to the team. On the last page of each book is a definition or a hockey tip. Lorna Schultz Nicholson includes lots of hockey detail and authentic “hockey talk”. For example, Francois “blasted a shot right into the five-hole, between the goalie’s pads”. Puckster wonders “…what should he do. Deke or shoot?” Parents who are fans will find the text comfortable and familiar. Kelly Findley’s cartoon illustrations are bright and her characters are expressive. She has worked as a graphic designer with Hockey Canada, which probably accounts for the fact that the team wears current Team Canada sweaters. Both the use of the current Team Canada images and references to players such as Hayley Wickenheiser and Roberto Luongo will date these books in time. However, they are fun books for today’s young hockey fans and players and the values they teach are laudable. Highly recommended for elementary school and public libraries.

The Walrus Who Escaped by R. & S. Qitsualik-Tinsley
Authors: Campbell Sandy 
Published: April 2016

Qitsualik-Tinsley, Rachel and Sean Qitsualik-Tinsley. The Walrus Who Escaped. Illus. Anthony Brennan. Iqualuit, NU: Inhabit Media Inc., 2014. Print.In this book, Rachael and Sean Qitsualik-Tinsley retell another of the many Inuit legends that explain why things are the way they are. According to this story, walruses used to have spiral tusks. Raven, who is always a bit of a trouble maker and looking for a free meal, imprisons the walrus in ice because she wants his clams. Imprisoning the walrus doesn’t get the raven any clams, but when the walrus gets free, the force straightens his tusks.The most interesting theme in this story is that of the “Strength in the Land”, which the authors explain variously as something that would be ill-described as “magic” and could be thought of as a “special kind of dream”. Even in today’s Inuit culture, land strength is an important concept that is implied in many works, but is rarely directly addressed. Qitsualik-Tinsleys deserve kudos for attempting to capture it in a children’s book.The text is overprinted on Anthony Brennan’s cartoon-like images which show the animals demonstrating human emotions such as contentment, frustration, anger and fear. The colours are generally bright, with the light blues of the sea and the ice predominating. Highly recommended for public libraries, elementary education libraries and libraries that collect Canadian Indigenous Children’s works.Highly Recommended: 4 stars out of 4Reviewer: Sandy CampbellSandy is a Health Sciences Librarian at the University of Alberta, who has written hundreds of book reviews across many disciplines.

Follow Your Money: Who Gets it, Who Spends It, Where Does it Go? by M. Hlinka
Authors: Sherbaniuk Patti 
Published: April 2016

Hlinka, Michael. Follow Your Money: Who Gets it, Who Spends It, Where Does it Go? Illus. Kevin Sylvester. Annick Press, New York, 2013. Print.Follow Your Money is a fairly basic yet informative examination of the economy and its complexities, aimed at older kids and teens. The book starts off with a quick synopsis of the “spider web” of the economy and a brief rundown of the history of money and the concept of profit. The author then breaks down the costs of various activities (a bus ride for example) and objects (baseball caps, sneakers), from raw materials to manufacturing costs, labour, transport, store markups, profits, etc. The author (a CBC commentator on business) is clever in what he has chosen, selecting objects and activities that are of interest to older kids and teens (computers, designer jeans, chocolate, cell phones, music, etc.). There are also a couple of pages on fuel and its importance to the economy. The book then takes a brief look at banking and the pros and cons of credit and debit cards, and then finishes with resource suggestions for additional information and an index.The cost breakdowns may be too numerous and a little dry for some readers (depending on their interest and attention level), but they are a very effective method of getting the reader to think about where things come from, how various economic factors affect prices, and who gets the profits. The author includes interesting sidebars of historical facts and trivia about particular subjects- tea, for example, or disposable bags-adding a bit of humour in the process. The illustrations are colourful and quirky and help clarify the points the author is making.Ideal for upper elementary and teen readers.Highly recommended: 4 out of 4 stars Reviewer: Patti SherbaniukPatti is a Liaison Librarian at the Winspear School of Business at the University of Alberta.

The Blind Boy & the Loon by A. Arnaquq-Baril
Authors: Campbell Sandy 
Published: April 2016

Arnaquq-Baril, Alethea. The Blind Boy & the Loon. Illus. Alethea Arnaquq-Baril and Dan Gies. Iqaluit, NU: Inhabit Media, Inc., 2014. Print.This volume is unique among Inhabit Media’s publications in that it is produced from an animated short film called Lumaajuuq by accomplished Inuit filmmaker Arnaquq-Baril. Both the text and the images have been converted from the film. Anarquq-Baril tells us that the story of Lumaajuuq is an old one and a very long one. She has adapted and shortened it for the film. It tells of a boy who was deliberately blinded by his mother and has his sight restored by a loon. Subsequently, he tricks his mother into spearing a whale that will pull her into the sea, where she drowns and turns into the narwhal. The story ends with the admonition that “every act of revenge is a link in a chain that can only be broken by forgiveness”.The text is brief and is presented in white on a black side-bar that runs to the left of each two-page image spread. The black side-bar adds to the overall visual darkness of the book, reflecting the darkness of the story. The images by Arnaquq-Baril and Daniel Gies are usually on black, dark blues, greys and browns. All of the images are uncluttered. The characters are drawn in profile, outlined in thick black line, while the backgrounds are shaded or layers of colour. In contrast to other parts of the images, the boy consistently has an unnaturally white face, which makes him the focal point of each image.Overall this book does successfully make the conversion from film to print and makes another traditional story accessible to new audiences. It would be a good addition to public school libraries, elementary school libraries and libraries collecting polar fiction.Highly recommended: 4 stars out of 4Reviewer: Sandy CampbellSandy is a Health Sciences Librarian at the University of Alberta, who has written hundreds of book reviews across many disciplines.

Where Do You Look? by M. & N. Jocelyn
Authors: Aitken Leslie 
Published: April 2016

Jocelyn, Martha and Nell Jocelyn. Where Do You Look? Toronto: Tundra Books, a Division of Random House of Canada, 2013. Print.This picture book is a playful exploration of homonyms—in this case, those that are spelled alike. The text comprises a series of questions; e.g., “Where do you look for a letter? In the mailbox?” Or on the page?” The illustrations, which incorporate collage and photographic techniques, are colourful and well defined—perfect for story hour viewing. The accompanying questions are an invitation to participate; children will enjoy guessing what further meanings of a word might next be illustrated. Beyond story hour, the book is appropriate, both in terms of font size and vocabulary, for independent reading by beginners.A further possibility for this book is its use in English as a Second Language classes. Gleaning the contextual meaning of a word is always difficult when learning a new language and the Jocelyns provide a light-hearted approach to the problem. To avoid the sensitive issue of using a beginner’s book in a lesson for older students and adults, introduce it as something an ESL learner might like to share with a child. (Confess: those of us who love children’s literature have been playing that card forever!)Highly Recommended: 4 out of 4 starsReviewer: Leslie AitkenLeslie Aitken’s long career in librarianship involved selection of children’s literature for school, public, special, and university collections.

Under the Hood by C. Merlin
Authors: Campbell Sandy 
Published: April 2016

Merlin,Christophe. Under the Hood. Sommerville, MA.: Candlewick Press, 2011. Print. Interactive books are expensive to make and there are always compromises. In this case the publishers have reduced some cost by making the front cover the title page and placing the publication information on the back cover. Strangely, the author’s given name is not printed on the book at all. Under the Hood has many flaps that children can lift to see what is underneath. Sometimes lifting a flap reveals another flap. The story is about Mr. Bear’s car and garage. When you open the book, you see the garage, with large wooden doors. Open the flaps that are the double doors, and you see a tarped car. When you lift the tarp, you see the car. The text asks, “Is there anyone under the tarp?” Open the car door flap and look into the car and see the word, “No” written on the inside of the door. This fun book also includes a large two-page fold out that allows you see the car up on a hoist, and has a pull-tab car that lets you race against an elephant on a motorcycle. Many of the flaps reveal the mundane; bolts in a box or tools in a toolbox. However, some hide visual surprises. When you lift the armoured vehicle flap, you see gangsters who have stolen the truck and tied up the driver. A tiny two-seater car folds out to be a dragster that has side-pipes with flames coming out of them. In the last scene, where the text asks, “where is Mouse?”, lifting the hood on the tow-truck reveals Mouse, still in his mechanic’s coveralls, curled up with a pillow. The text is very simple, aimed at age three and up. The vehicles are a late 1940’s or early 1950’s models. The images are all solid blocks of colour outlined with heavy black outlines. The colours are muted and the prints are made to look like badly printed woodcuts or block prints, giving the book the look of a comic with a “vintage” feel. This will be a book that is “loved to death”. Even though the book is a reinforced trade edition, printed on fairly heavy card stock, children will want to repeatedly lift the flaps and they will wear out and tear. Libraries with small budgets may want to invest in other volumes that will last longer. Parents may want to keep Under the Hood as a “special” book that is only read under supervision.

ESP Data Analysis to Enhance Electrical Submersible Pump Run Life at Saudi Arabian Fields
Authors: Al-Sadah Hashim 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
More than 450 Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESP) have been installed in Saudi Arabia's Northern Area fields. Saudi Arabia's producing wells are characterized by high reservoir pressures, high production rates, H2S and low to mid-level water cuts. The produced reservoir formations are both carbonate and sandstone. ESPs are not only installed in low production wells but also in naturally flowing high rate wells where the ESP is left idle until incremental flow rate is needed at a later date.
This paper will highlight the major issues encountered with the utilization of ESP operations, together with the technical developments applied to realize longer ESP run-life objectives. Also presented are the field observations and analyses from troubleshooting, ESP pulls, and Dismantle Inspection and Failure Analysis (DIFA) procedures, implemented to enhance ESP run life. This data is combined to redefine the ESP design philosophies on a field-by-field basis. The technical enhancements made were to improve ESP performance in H2S, scale forming and corrosive environments.
The focus will be on case histories to discuss what was implemented and the methodologies that were used to overcome specific challenges encountered with the use of ESPs. The analysis will be an overview of more than 130 ESP failures from the period 2006 to 2013. During this time, more than 70 DIFA procedures were conducted and many recommendations were implemented, resulting in enhanced ESP run life for these fields. Based on the DIFA results, most failures were attributed to three main causes; damaged or burned Motor Lead Extension (MLE), burned motor and damaged penetrator. These three main causes of ESP failure will be the focal point for the case studies.
Investigation of Biodiesel-Based Drilling Fluid, Part 1: Biodiesel Evaluation, Invert-Emulsion Properties, and Development of a Novel Emulsifier Package

Published: April 2016

Summary
As a type of mono-alkyl ester, biodiesel exhibits great potential to serve as the base oil of drilling fluids substituting for conventional oil-based drilling fluids (OBDFs). This paper presents a series of laboratory investigations of water-in-biodiesel (invert) emulsion as the basis of a high-performance, environmentally friendly, and low-cost biodiesel-based drilling fluid (BBDF). Biodiesel produced from waste cooking oil was used to formulate a BBDF because of its high flashpoint, reliable storage stability, acceptable elastomeric material compatibility, nontoxicity, and excellent biodegradability. In light of the results of tests used to measure various properties, the biodiesel invert-emulsion chemistry, including the required hydrophile/lipophile balance (HLB), optimal emulsifier, effects of different additives (organophilic clay, calcium chloride, and lime), as well as hydrolytic stability, was studied. A biodiesel invert emulsion that remains stable after hot rolling at 120°C for 16 hours can be prepared with correct combinations of additives, thereby offering a firm foundation for designing BBDFs. The novel emulsifier package developed in this work is introduced as an achievement in the comprehensive usage of waste cooking oil because its feedstock is identical to that of biodiesel. An initial economic analysis of the use of biodiesel for drilling is also presented. Details of the formulations and properties of BBDFs derived from this fundamental research are discussed in another paper (Part 2).

Authors: Celakovská Tarmilč , Bukač Josef 
Published: April 2016

Background and Objective The aim of this study was an evaluation of the dependence between the severity of atopic dermatitis evaluated with the Scoring Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) index and the occurrence of other atopic diseases and parameters. Methods The complete dermatological and allergological examinations were performed. The statistical evaluation of the dependence between the occurrence of bronchial asthma, rhinitis and duration of the skin lesions, and the severity of atopic dermatitis was performed. Results and Conclusion Two hundred and eighty-three patients were examined: 89 men and 194 women (average [standard deviation] age, 26.2 ± 9.5 years). The significant relationship was recorded between the severity of atopic dermatitis and bronchial asthma, the occurrence of rhinitis, and the duration of the skin lesions.
Trigger of Bronchial Hyperresponsiveness Development may not always need Eosinophilic Airway Inflammation in Very Early Stage of Asthma

Published: April 2016

Background Cough variant asthma (CVA), a suggested precursor of standard bronchial asthma (SBA), is characterized by positive bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) and a chronic cough response to bronchodilator that persists for >8 weeks. Objective Airway inflammation, BHR, and airway obstructive damage were analyzed to assess whether CVA represents early or mild-stage SBA. Methods Patients with newly diagnosed CVA (n = 72) and SBA (n = 84) naive to oral or inhaled corticosteroids and without exacerbated asthma were subjected to spirometry, impulse oscillometry, BHR tests, sputum induction, and fractional exhaled nitric oxide measurements. Results In the patients with CVA, spirometry demonstrated higher forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) to forced vital capacity ratio, FEV1 percent predicted, flow volume at 50% of vital capacity % predicted, and flow volume at 25% of vital capacity % predicted values, and impulse oscillometry demonstrated lower R5–Z20, AX, and Fres, and higher X5 values. In addition, the fractional exhaled nitric oxide and sputum eosinophil numbers were lower and the PC20 was higher than in patients with moderate SBA. However, these factors were similar in the patients with CVA and in the patients with intermittent mild SBA. A significantly smaller proportion of the patients with CVA had increased sputum eosinophils than the patients with intermittent mild SBA (p < 0.0001). However, interestingly, among the patients with CVA, no significant differences in the PC20 values were found between the patients with and those without increased sputum eosinophils. Conclusions All measures of central and peripheral airway obstruction, eosinophilic inflammation, and airway hyperresponsiveness in patients with CVA were milder than in patients with moderate SBA but were similar to those of patients with intermittent mild SBA. In CVA, the BHR was not affected by airway eosinophilic inflammation, which indicated that the very early development of BHR may not always need airway eosinophilic inflammation.
Oral Mucosal Immunotherapy for Allergic Rhinitis: A Pilot Study

Published: April 2016

Background The sublingual mucosa has been used for many years to apply allergenic extracts for the purpose of specific immunotherapy (IT). Although sublingual IT (SLIT) is both safe and efficacious, the density of antigen-presenting cells is higher in other regions of the oral cavity and vestibule, which make them a potentially desirable target for IT. Objective To present the concept of oral mucosal IT (OMIT) and to provide pilot data for this extended application of SLIT. Methods An open-label, 12-month, prospective study was undertaken as a preliminary step before a full-scale clinical investigation. Twenty-four individuals with allergic rhinitis received IT by applying allergenic extracts daily to either the oral vestibule plus oral cavity mucosa by using a glycerin-based toothpaste or to the sublingual mucosa by using 50% glycerin liquid drops. Adverse events, adherence rates, total combined scores, rhinoconjunctivitis quality-of-life questionnaire scores, changes in skin reactivity, and changes in serum antibody levels were measured for each participant. Results No severe adverse events occurred in either group. The adherence rate was 80% for the OMIT group and 62% for the SLIT group (p = 0.61). Decreased total combined scores were demonstrated for both the OMIT group (15.6%) and the SLIT group (223%), although this decrease did not reach statistical significance in either group. Both groups achieved a meaningful clinical improvement of at least 0.5 points on rhinoconjunctivitis quality-of-life questionnaire. A statistically significant rise in specific immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) was seen in both groups over the first 6 months of treatment. Conclusion OMIT and SLIT demonstrated similar safety profiles and adherence rates. Measurements of clinical efficacy improved for both groups, but only changes in IgG4 achieved statistical significance. These pilot data provide enough evidence to proceed with a full-scale investigation to explore the role of OMIT in the long-term management of allergic rhinitis.

Sertoliform Endometrioid Tumor of Ovary Presenting as Torsion
Authors: Pai Prathiksha , Jadhav Meena N , Patil Rashmi K , Kittur Shreekant K 
Published: April 2016

ABSTRACTSertoliform endometrioid carcinoma of the ovary (SEC) is an uncommon variant that bears histologic similarity to sertoli and sertoli-leydig cell tumors. We report an interesting case of SEC in a 55-year-old female with a left ovarian mass with torsion. Histology revealed an SEC, featuring foci of typical endometrioid carcinoma, and areas composed of uniform, small, hollow tubules lined by columnar cells with apical cytoplasm. Tumor cells were strongly immunoreactive for EMA and cytokeratin but negative for inhibin; thus, confirming the diagnosis of SEC ovary. Recognition of this tumor is important as it is a well-differentiated, low-grade malignancy that displays good prognosis when confined to the ovary.
