Epitope mapping of lyssavirus structural proteins.
Creators: name: Elmgren, Lindsay Dorn.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Biology, Microbiology.

description: Lyssavirus specific monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) were used in competitive ELISAs to topographically map two major structural proteins of representative viruses of each of the six lyssavirus genotypes. This is the first description of topographical mapping of lyssavirus proteins based upon competitive Mab binding. A panel of anti-glycoprotein Mabs, all generated against rabies viruses, was used to map antigenic sites on lyssavirus glycoproteins. These Mabs identified thirteen unique epitopes that define four major antigenic sites and two antigenic sub-sites. Glycoprotein antigenic sites were found to be highly conserved throughout all lyssavirus genotypes. Thirty-four unique epitopes were identified on lyssavirus nucleoproteins using a panel of Mabs comprised of representative Mabs generated against nucleoproteins of all lyssavirus genotypes. The panel of anti-nucleoprotein Mabs used in this study revealed five major antigenic sites that again were largely conserved in all lyssavirus genotypes. The epitope variability of the nucleoprotein was much greater than that of the glycoprotein, confirming previous Mab studies of lyssaviruses. Mabs to several epitopes of both structural proteins studied were lyssavirus specific, while at least one anti-nucleoprotein Mab for each lyssavirus was genotype specific with the exception of genotype 5 (European bat lyssavirus type 1). Most of the epitopes identified on both proteins were conformational, however, certain linear epitopes identified in this study that are lyssavirus specific may be useful for diagnosis and vaccine development. Genotype specific epitopes will be useful epidemiologically. The competitive antigenic analysis of the glycoprotein and nucleoprotein support the published phylogenetic relationships of the lyssavirus genotypes. Two of the African lyssaviruses (Mokola virus and Lagos Bat virus) are the furthest diverged of the lyssaviruses. The nearly identical topographical maps of the antigenic sites of both the glycoprotein and nucleoprotein strongly suggest that lyssaviruses have evolved from a common rhabdovirus ancestor. Further, this ancestral rhabdovirus was probably a bat virus.

description: This thesis investigated variations in the population of Escherichia coli in sewage treatment plants (STPs) both qualitatively and quantitatively and evaluated the hypothesis of whether E. coli strains can survive the treatment processes of community STPs including disinfection. The virulence potential of these E. coli strains as well as their phylogenetic groups and antibiotic resistance patterns were also investigated. A collection of 264 E. coli strains from different treatment stages of four activated sludge STPs in Southeast Queensland were typed using a high resolution biochemical fingerprinting method, and compared to identify any strains found throughout the treatment stages of STPs. The results showed that in each STP certain clonal groups of E. coli survived all stages of sewage treatment (including chlorination). Comparisons of these strains among the four STPs showed that some of the clones were found in more than one STP. These strains belonged to phylogenetic group B2 (62%). Representatives of these strains were tested for the presence of 12 virulence genes (VGs) associated with strains causing extraintestinal (ExPEC) and intestinal (IPEC) infections. No strains carried VGs normally found among IPEC strains, whilst 60% of strains carried one or more VGs associated with ExPEC.

description: Additional file 9: Figure S6. Physical genotyping of two F2 pigs: The F2 boars resulted from a cross of a Minipig (MP) (boar) and a Yorkshire (YS) (gilt). In the parental generation seven purebred Yorkshire (YY) sows were mated to 14 Goettingen Minipig (MM) boars. Among the YM F1 animals, 26 gilts and 13 boars were mated to produce 279 F2 animals. Genotypic data (60k iSelect data) for the animals were previously published and reused in this analysis [47]. The marker data for this illustration were obtained in two steps: First, consensus marker information from the parental YS boars and MP gilts was extracted. Then, markers that failed in YS or MP were removed. Information about the colouring of respective alleles is illustrated in the figure. It should be pointed out, that the Y chromosome is not shown due to the fact that it has to be derived from the MP.
Bonn mots: so whose memory is picture perfect? The 'Monthly' has a problem getting Manning Clark in frame
Creators: name: Neumann, Klaus
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: It is only several pages into Mark McKenna's article in the March issue of The Monthly that the reader learns about the focus of this finely-crafted essay about the historian Manning Clark. 'Of all Clark's epiphanies ... there is one that stands out for its allegorical power,' he writes, and recounts several instances between 1978 and 1991 in which Clark spoke or wrote about visiting Bonn on the morning after the Reichskristallnacht pogrom. McKenna demonstrates that Clark arrived in Bonn only on November 26, 1938, more than two weeks after the morning following the pogrom in which synagogues throughout Germany had been torched, Jewish businesses looted, and Jewish men carried off to concentration camps such as Buchenwald and Sachenhausen. He came to Bonn to visit Dymphna Lodewyckx, who later became his wife.
Null subject and null object in child Chinese.
Creators: name: Wu, Bin.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Language, Linguistics.

description: This study is focused on the null subject and object phenomenon in Chinese child language. Its goal is to investigate null subject and object use in the Chinese spontaneous speech in the light of the debates in the previous literature. The first two chapters elaborate on the adult grammar of the empty categories and the debates about this phenomenon in the Chinese linguistic literature. Two types of approaches are introduced in these two chapters. A detailed account of the data analysis regarding the Chinese children's naturalistic speech is given in Chapter Four, in comparison with Valian's (1991, 1995) work on child English, Italian and Portuguese. The basic finding of this study is that Chinese speaking children increase their use of subjects, particularly their use of pronominal subjects, as they get older. This strongly demonstrates that this study has accomplished its goal of supporting the performance-based accounts of children's subject and object use.
Associations between oceanographic processes and humpback whale entanglement in Southeast Queensland shark-control nets
Creators: name: Bolin, Jessica
Publisher: name: University of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland
Year: 2018

description: East Australian humpback whales undertake lengthy annual migrations, which require sophisticated navigation abilities. These are likely influenced by the interplay between spatial memory and responses to contemporaneous environmental cues, such as water temperature and ocean currents. The physical oceanography of the Australian east coast is dominated by the East Australian Current (EAC). The EAC's inner boundary is characterised by a sharp temperature gradient, which may serve as a navigational tool for migrating humpbacks. Humpback whales encounter numerous anthropogenic threats along their migratory route, including entanglement in shark-control nets. This study provides a quantitative spatio-temporal analysis of the influence of the EAC on the probability of entanglements in shark-control nets. We use satellite-derived seasurface temperature (SST), an ocean model, and humpback whale entanglement data from the Queensland Shark Control Program, focusing on entanglements in Southeast Queensland since 2001. We present novel algorithms for detecting the EAC edge and core via Principal Components Analyses (PCA). We investigate correlations between the probability of humpback entanglement and the position of the EAC's edge and core, the maximum environmental gradient (structure) of the edge and core as determined by PCA results, in addition to SST at the shark-control net. We find that likelihood of entanglement increases when the EAC edge is less structured and closer to shore in the vicinity of the corresponding net, and that the first PC of a PCA designed to capture ocean structure explains relatively large amounts of variance. We also found an interaction indicating that more oceanic structure beyond the EAC edge lessens the influence of the edge structure on entanglement probability. Our results support the emerging idea that humpback whales use the edge of the EAC, as a navigation tool. Our findings can improve predictive capacity of future entanglements, and inform the monitoring of shark-control nets.

Subjects: subject: Language, Linguistics.

description: Based on recent minimalist work, this thesis attempts to shed new light on the problem of how syntax and morphology interact in the process of language acquisition. In order to do this we examine the verb-subject morphosyntactic distribution displayed in spontaneous oral cross-sectional data elicited from three groups of bilingual (Spanish/Basque) children who acquire English in an institutional setting. The three groups had been learning English for four years and differed in the age at which acquisition started. Despite these characteristics, the interlanguage of our three groups shows strikingly similar patterns with other English L2 longitudinal data, a finding which opens new questions about the age factor. Also, in the three groups, English-like structures co-occur with structures which seem to be specific of English L2 data. This co-occurrence has also been reported (although not explained) in other English L2 case studies in which the L1 (namely French and Spanish) projects the same syntactic structure as Spanish and Basque. All this leads us to propose that in all cases these children project the syntactic structure of the L1s (Spanish and Basque) and adjust English data into it. We also believe that bilingualism could in this case reinforce the transfer of the native structure, since the two L1s have the same syntactic projections.
Understanding Goal Nets as a Symbolic Representation of Changing Football Culture

description: As the on-field architect of Total Football, a revolutionary style of play based on the idea of manipulating space, footballer Johan Cruyff was nicknamed ‘Pythagoras in Boots’ (Goldblatt 2006, 465). Cruyff focused his innate sense of geometry within the game and his understanding of space solely on the game’s central objective, ie. a goal being scored; the ball crossing the goal line. He did not concern himself with the spatial meaning of what happened after; when the ball crossed the goal line and impacted with the goal net. This practice-led research project seeks to address ‘what happened after that,’ when a goal is scored and the ball and net react in the Thirdspace (Soja1996, 2008); how a goal scored is visually affected by the ball’s interaction with the goal net,and how the goal net, as an object, is imbued with meaning.
description: In order to explore this phenomenon, the research project investigatesthe field of creative non-fictionrelated to football and identifies and examines two exemplar texts, Fever Pitch(1992) by Nick Hornby and Brilliant Orange (2012) by David Winner. From the analysis of these two works, five characteristics and conventions common to the genre are extrapolated and deployed to inform the production of a new work of creative non-fictionrelated to football.
description: This practice-led research project consists of two parts. Part A is the exegetical component. It is sited at the nexus between object biography, which interrogates object agency (Kopytoff 1986; Gosden and Marshall 1999) and critical research in football, the academic enquiry of the social (Rookwood and Hughson 2017), cultural (Hughson 2019; Guilianotti and Robertson 2004), political (Penny and Redhead 2009) and economic (Millward 2017) aspects of the game. The theoretical lens underpinning object biography is informed by aesthetics (Best 1978; Mumford 2009, 2016; Borge 2019) spatial theory (Soja 1996, 2008) and nostalgia (Boym 2002; May 2017) and is applied to illuminate the absence of the goal net in critical research in football. Part B is the creative element, a novel-length object biography guided by the human history of Johan Cruyff, to trace and investigate the goal net’s material history.
description: The goal net’s history as a recognizably differentiated stadium fixture effectively ended at the 1982 World Cup finals in Spain when a standardised goal net replaced the differentiated styles local to the Spanish venues. The standardised goal net has since been established in the top tier professional game. This research argues it has had a significant visual and cultural impact in the stadia in which they are sited and constituted a dramatic change in the visual narrative of goals scored.

description: This thesis investigates how changing climate conditions have impacted the mass balance, dynamics and associated hypsometry (area-elevation distribution) of White Glacier, an alpine glacier on Axel Heiberg Island, Nunavut. The first article describes the production of a new map of White Glacier from which changes in ice thickness and glacier hypsometry could be determined. A new digital elevation model (DEM) was created using >400 oblique air photos and Structure from Motion, a method built upon photogrammetry but with the advantage of automated image correlation analysis. The result of this work demonstrates that the method is able to overcome the challenges of optical remote sensing in snow-covered areas. The resulting DEM and orthoimage facilitated the production of a map with 5 m vertical accuracy in the style of earlier cartographic works. The new map supported the calculation of the glacier’s geodetic mass balance and provides an updated glacier hypsometry, which improves the accuracy of mass balance calculations. A modeled glacier hypsometry time-series was created to support a reanalysis of the mass balance record over the period 1960-2014, which through comparison of the geodetic and glaciological methods enables the detection of potential sources of error in the glaciological method. Comparison of the two approaches reveals that within the error margin no significant difference exists between the average annual glaciological mass balance (-213 ± 28 mm w.e. a 1) and geodetic mass balance ( 178 ± 16 mm w.e. a-1). To determine how ice dynamics have responded to ice thinning and negative mass balances, dual-frequency GPS observations of ice motion were compared to historic velocity measurements collected at three cross-sectional profiles along the glacier. Comparisons of annual and seasonal velocities indicate velocity decreases of 10–45% since the 1960s. However, increased summer velocities at the highest station suggests that increased delivery of surface meltwater to the glacier bed has initiated basal sliding at elevations that did not experience high levels of melt in earlier decades. Modeled balance fluxes demonstrate that observed fluxes, both historically and currently, are unsustainable under current climate conditions.

description: Durant la transition à la parentalité, la dimension intime et sexuelle de la relation conjugale de futurs et nouveaux parents est la plus vulnérable et la plus affectée. L’objectif de cette enquête descriptive exploratoire est de faire le portrait de l’expérience sexopérinatale de 67 couples parentaux francophones en situation linguistique minoritaire (FSLM) de la région d’Ottawa et de l’Est de l’Ontario, en mettant l’emphase sur leur vécu, leurs besoins et les services en français (offerts, utilisés, manquants et souhaités) dans le domaine. Sous forme d’étude de cas avec un devis mixte, cette recherche est constituée de cinq articles originaux. L’Article 1, divisé en deux parties consécutives, correspond à un examen de la portée sur la sexopérinatalité couvrant 123 articles empiriques publiés dans les 15 dernières années. La partie 1 s’attarde à l’état des recherches retenues et à la sexualité prénatale ; la partie 2 s’intéresse à la sexualité pendant le travail et l’accouchement, à la sexualité postnatale et à la sexualité en contexte d’allaitement. L’Article 2 expose les résultats quantitatifs du vécu sexopérinatal des 67 couples recrutés. L’Article 3 couvre les résultats qualitatifs de ce même vécu sexopérinatal chez cinq de ces couples parentaux. L’Article 4 aborde les besoins et les services en français en matière de sexopérinatalité perçus par les 67 couples parentaux, combinant des données quantitatives et qualitatives. Cette étude permet aux chercheurs et cliniciens de mieux connaître simultanément deux domaines importants de recherche et d’intervention encore peu explorés : la sexopérinatalité et les FSLM en Ontario. Cette recherche s’inscrit dans une vision équitable en santé des populations et dans une optique de promotion du couple, de la famille et de la société pour favoriser l’accès équitable et adapté aux services de soins de santé collaboratifs, continus et durables en matière de santé sexuelle pour les canadiens.

description: Additional file 8: Figure S5. Allelic discrimination analysis with one parent in GenoTypeMapper. Wheat near isogenic line Tc-Lr1 with an introgression of the leaf rust resistance gene Lr1 in the background of the parent “Thatcher” on chromosome 5DL. Only genotype data of the Thatcher line was available, so allele analysis with one parent was performed (Figure 2, Table 2). Please notice that monomorphic markers between Thatcher and the second parent were not detected due to the missing genotype information of one parent. Therefore, filtering and colouring of the introgressed markers was the method of choice to illustrate the introgressed regions. This analysis illustrates that introgressions of the unknown parent also occurred to other chromosomes. The physical genome shows that centromeric regions were introgressed from the resistant parent into the NIL. Please note: This test-dataset is quite large and comprises more than 30540 markers.

description: Automatic construction of the building geometric digital twins (gDTs) is implemented based on the scanned data from the existing buildings. The highly detailed gDTs necessitates the top-down construction method informed by the predefined building knowledge. This paper reviews the building rules used for the model-driven building indoor environment gDTs construction. It is found that these knowledge is fragmented and lacks systematic analysis. The research categorise these rules into three groups and proposes an Ontology-based knowledge graphs (KGs) approach for organising this knowledge. This method aims to integrate rules for gDT construction to establish a knowledge system for the further research.
Some thermodynamic properties of ions in aqueous solution.

Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Physical.

description: Some methods of obtaining the partial molal entropies of ions are reviewed, and the equations proposed for monatomic ions are discussed. The entropies of oxy-anions in aqueous solution are shown to obey the following relationship. Soabs=40.2+32 R1n m-27.2z20.25 nr˙ In this equation, Soabs is the partial molal entropy relative to a value of -5.5 e.u. for the proton, m is the molecular weight, z the number of charges on the ion, n the number of charge-bearing ligands, and r is equal to r12 + 1.40, where r12 is the interatomic distance between the central atom and the surrounding oxygens, and 1.40 is the van der Waals radius of oxygen. The significance of the empirical equation is discussed. The density data for aqueous solutions of electrolytes have been analyzed, and the partial molal volumes at infinite dilution have been calculated. The values are shown to be additive, and a set of volumes for individual ions has been prepared, based arbitrarily on a value of zero for the hydrogen ion. It is shown that for a given value of the charge, the volumes vary linearly with the cube of the ionic crystal radii, and that for a given radius, they vary with the first power of the charge. In the case of monatomic cations the equation obeyed is V+=16+4.9r3-20 z+ while for monatomic anions it is V-=4+4.9r3-20 z-. If the volume of the hydrogen ion is taken as -6.0 ml. instead of zero, the same equation is obey for both monatomic cations and anions, namely V&d1;' +/-=16+4.9r3-26 z+/- . In the case of oxy-anions, the volumes relative to a value of -50 ml. for the proton are represented by the equation V&d1;' -=58.8+0.890.25nr 3-26z- , where r, as with entropies, is given by r 12 + 1.40. These empirical equations are explained in terms of a simple model for ions in solution and the significance of the effective radius used for oxy-anions is discussed. The importance of these equations is discussed with reference to their application to reactions involving ions in aqueous solution.

description: In the field of International Development, increased attention has been given to the concept of women’s empowerment as it has been recognized as a potential driver for change. Classified as a global struggle, commitments to this concept have been at the core of many development interventions, whether they be a small NGOs working in a single community or large-scale international aid agencies with presence all around the world. Despite its international recognition, women’s empowerment has been largely left unquestioned within development practices and especially with regards to the impact it may have on local beneficiary communities. This thesis will address how universal ideas such as this one become meaningful in the local setting through a case study of CARE-International’s Women’s Empowerment in Zanzibar project that was implemented from the years 2008-2011. In applying Sally Merry’s (2006) concept of vernacularization, as a theoretical framework, it will be shown that international aid organizations do not simply adapt women’s empowerment to the local arena. Instead, various local actors are involved in a dynamic process of translating, negotiating, and making the concept more meaningful to the beneficiaries and, thus, cause a new hybrid understanding of women’s empowerment to emerge. This new concept draws more extensively on local institutions, knowledge and practices that have been inter-weaved with Islamic practices which play an important role in the lives of Zanzibaris. This thesis will illustrate how NGO culture converges with and diverges from the local communities and expose the realities that exist within the greater development discourse.

description: Human activity, particularly the moving of species around the planet, has profoundly changed many of the world's ecosystems. In the Australian study area of the southern Sunshine Coast, as in much of southeast Queensland, native and introduced species occur in complex hybrid configurations as old and new adapt to the changing environment around them. The European red fox is one such translocated species that arrived in the study area a century ago. While its presence is well known and it is the subject of regional lethal control, its ecology and function in this hybrid assemblage of native and introduced biota, is poorly understood. This study, therefore, examined four major components of the ecology of a population of coastal urban foxes: 1/ spatial organisation and habitat use; 2/ dietary choices; 3/ impact on an endangered species; and 4/ role as a potential weed vector.
Computer Integrated Model to Estimate the Construction Cost and Duration of Building Projects at Their Feasibility Stage

description: Presently, owners are interested in evaluating the feasibility of investing in the construction of new building projects based on cost and time constraints. They need to therefore have an idea about the project construction costs, the time required to finish construction of a project in its conceptual phase, and about the implementation of feasibility study. Because due to associated risks, construction cost estimates and schedules are vital to any project. The research’s objective is to develop a methodology that can be used to create an integrated computer model that helps owners and designers generate construction cost estimates, and derive the baseline schedule for any proposed building project at its feasibility stage. All the relevant data used within the model is collected from the literature and is stored in comprehensive databases designed for this purpose. The data is based on 2011 RSMeans publications and consist of around 4,000 previously constructed projects. The model is developed in a Microsoft environment using Microsoft Excel 2007 and Microsoft Project 2007. This model uses deterministic and stochastic approaches to execute all necessary calculations for the conceptual cost estimate and baseline schedule. A deterministic approach relies on realistic data while a stochastic one relies on incorporating the uncertainty and risk available in calculating the cost and duration of any construction building project. The model is user friendly, flexible and executes all the necessary calculations quickly. The successful development of the model would help owners and investors identify the cost and baseline schedule of proposed projects at the early stages of the project life, so that they have an idea of the budget required for construction and the time needed to recover their investment.

description: Ein Großteil der Umweltbelastungen entsteht in der Lieferkette. Daraus ergeben sich hier große Reduktionspotenziale für kleinere und mittelständische Betriebe. Die Broschüre ist insbesondere für mittelständische Unternehmen interessant, die bereits ein solides Fundament an Umwelt- oder Nachhaltigkeitspraktiken in ihren Werkshallen und Büros gelegt haben und nun beim nachhaltigen Lieferkettenmanagement erste Schritte gehen möchten. Für Unternehmen, die bereits ein Umweltmanagementsystem nach EMAS oder ISO 14001 eingeführt haben, bietet der Leitfaden Ansatzpunkte für das Management indirekter Umweltaspekte und die Betrachtung des Lebensweges von Produkten und Dienstleistungen.

description: Viele kleinere und mittelständische Betriebe nehmen wie Großunternehmen bereits gesellschaftliche Verantwortung im Rahmen ihrer Unternehmensprozesse wahr. Zugleich sind sie heute mehr denn je gefordert und motiviert, ihrer gesellschaftlichen Verantwortung auch in der Lieferkette nachzukommen. Denn ein Großteil der Umweltbelastungen entsteht in der Lieferkette.Daraus ergeben sich hier große Reduktionspotenziale sowie die Chance, wesentliche Risiken für Umwelt, Betroffene und das eigene Unternehmen zu vermeiden oder zumindest zu mindern. Katastrophale Folgen unzureichender Sicherheitsstandards und Arbeitsschutzmaßnahmen bei Lieferanten – wie sie besonders der Einsturz des Rana-Plaza-Gebäudes in Bangladesch offenbarte – zeigen, wie wichtig und dringlich es für Unternehmen ist, sich auch mit den sozialen Folgen ihrer Geschäftstätigkeiten in der Lieferkette zu befassen.

description: Time history-analyses of building structures have been used for a quite long time for research at universities. Considering the advantage of time-history analysis relative to the equivalent static force method, the National Building of Canada and other modern building codes around the world require the use of time-history analysis in the design of specified types of buildings located in seismic regions. One of the main issues in the use of time-history analysis is related to the selection and scaling of the seismic excitations (i.e., accelerograms) to be compatible with the design spectrum for the location considered. Currently, both recorded (i.e., “real”) accelerograms and artificial accelerograms are used in the analyses. The objective of this study is to determine the effects of the selection and scaling of seismic excitations on the response of reinforced concrete frame buildings. Three reinforced concrete frame buildings with heights of 4 storey, 10 storey and 16 storey, designed for Vancouver (high seismic zone) were used in this study. Five sets of seismic excitations were used in the analysis – one set of “real” accelerograms, and four sets of artificial accelerograms obtained by different methods. All sets were scaled to be compatible with the design spectrum for Vancouver. Both linear and nonlinear time history analyses were conducted on the buildings considered. Interstorey drifts and storey shear forces were used as response parameters. The results from the linear analysis show that both the interstorey drifts and the shear forces are affected significantly by the type of the excitation set. Similarly, the effects of the type of the seismic excitations on the drifts from nonlinear analysis are substantial. On the other hand, the influence of the excitation sets on the storey shears from nonlinear analysis are quite small. Based on the results from this study, sets of scaled real records are preferred for use in time-history analysis of building structures. If such records are not available, then sets of simulated accelerograms based on the regional seismic characteristics should be used.

Symbols of Authenticity: Challenging the Static Imposition of Minority Identities through the Case Study of Contemporary Inuit Art

description: This thesis examines the use and promotion of shamanic themes in contemporary Canadian Inuit art, being the principle venue in which Inuit identity is presented to non-Inuit in Canada and internationally. The image of Inuit identity promoted through the arts since the mid-twentieth century is arguably the product of non-Inuit state authorities, but Inuit artists themselves are increasingly asserting their voice in their arts and crafts, thereby challenging the image of Inuit identity to non-Inuit. This project first problematizes the history of contemporary Inuit art, where the construction of Inuit identity was heavily prescribed, and then turns to the shifts occurring in Inuit art to highlight the process of identity construction and the agency of Inuit within it. In the process, this project challenges the static conceptualization of minority identities in diverse societies by both state authorities and majority populations. This dissertation contends that Inuit art and identity are fluid concepts and there must be an emphasis made to permit for their fluidity, to avoid affirming a static minority identity in a diverse society, whether in the public or state forums. Consequently, the effort to assert the authenticity of these intangible concepts is contrary to the ideals of diversity and equality promoted in Canada.

description: The inclusion of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in secondary education institutions is a common agenda worldwide. Students and governments are placing pressure upon educators to include these technologies into classrooms. Educators are generally faced with the demand while operating in an environment of fiscal constraint, limited infrastructures, poor technical assistance and limited professional development. The capabilities of the Internet create the opportunity to redesign educational ICT projects to better meet government and student demands while addressing educator concerns. This study focuses on the development of a software suite that enables the production of an internationally coordinated student Internet magazine. Coined EDVance, a combination of the words education and advance, the creative project illustrates a translation of educational processes, including writing, research and assessment, into a digital format. This exegesis first examines the literature surrounding educational ICT projects, revealing a worldwide emphasis on adopting 21st Century Skills and ICT into educational curricula, while illuminating the problems often encountered by educators involved with these types of projects. The research further examines usability solutions employed within the commercial sector for inspiration in the redesign of an online student magazine. The result yields the EDVance project, discussed as the main body of the exegesis. The EDVance project is an online software suite which enables students to undertake research and writing processes online, engage in international peer editing, and automates the magazine publication process - all whilst facilitating digital record keeping for assessment purposes. The sources of inspiration behind various features and functions are described in context throughout the main body of the exegesis. Other student web magazines are also reviewed, providing a framework in which the EDVance project may be viewed. Finally, the research concludes with an overview of the various functions of the EDVance project that could be extended in the future, as well as presenting several avenues of research worthy of further investigation.
