Top Table of Contents The Extent of the Damage Restoring the Ravages of Time Conservation Activities - 1999 Conservation Activities - 2000-2001 The Extent of the Damage Photographs Early photographs (many in albums), negatives and glass plate negatives dating from the late 1800s and early 1900s resulted from the field w ork of Geological Survey of Canada geologists. In most instances, there are no negatives for the photographs bound in albums. Many of the albums have deteriorated, as seen with the " New Brunswick Album ", photographer and dates unknown. The album " Views from the North Fork Valley of the Wapta, British Columbia, 1897 " contains photos taken by George Dawson, GSC's third director and one of Canada's most respected explorer-geologists, There are no known negatives. The album is of particular importance because it is signed by Dawson, so there is a need to conserve not only the photographs but the album itself. The album from 1915-16 contains negatives of photographs by Charles Camsell, Donaldson Dowling and other important Canadian geologists. The negatives are stuck to the sleeves and have been damaged due to the acidic content of the storage envelopes. The glass negative of the Madoc Meteorite by R.A. Johnston, 1915, has cracked.

History of Undergraduate Mathematics in America The first part of the HUMA conference book display was conducted in the rare book room of the library . The second part was in the Department of Mathematical Sciences. Below you will find information about the books that were on display in the department. Most of these books were chosen because they bear on undergraduate mathematics, but there are a few old treasures that have been included for their own sake. Some of these books were chosen because these copies have interesting characteristics, some of which are noted in annotations. When handling these books please use extreme care.

Le premier défi était technologique, il reposait sur la nécessité d'assurer des liaisons à un très haut débit. Les données devaient faire un aller-retour de près de 15 000 km sans qu'il y ait un décalage entre le geste effectué à New-York et sa reproduction à Strasbourg. Un premier essai avait eu lieu en septembre 2000 entre Paris et Strasbourg sur un porc avec un délai de transmission de 200 millisecondes, qui a été amené à 150 millisecondes lors de " l'opération Lindbergh ". En chirurgie hépatique, il est possible de reconstituer en 3 dimensions le foie d'un patient en moins de 5 minutes avant de l'opérer à partir d'un scanner. On peut ainsi " naviguer " dans les organes du patient. Ainsi, de la même façon qu'un pilote d'avion prépare son plan de vol, les chirurgiens pourront visualiser leur opération. Il reste cependant des améliorations à apporter pour simuler des interventions chirurgicales, il faudrait par exemple pouvoir représenter les saignements de façon réaliste. Mais nous y arriverons avec le temps. A terme la chirurgie à distance pourrait être semi-automatisée voire automatisée.

39. OZANAM, ANTOINE FREDERIC had been settled in the Lyonnais for many centuries, and had reached distinctionin the third generation before Frédéric through jacques ozanam (1640—1717 http://43.1911encyclopedia.org/O/OZ/OZANAM_ANTOINE_FREDERIC.htm

document.write(""); OZANAM, ANTOINE FREDERIC primaries. China, Japan and possibly eastern Asia in general have an Oyster-catcher which seems to be intermediate between the last and the first. This has received the name of H. osculans; but doubts have been expressed as to its deserving specific recognition. Then we have a group of species in which the plumage is wholly or almost wholly black, and among them only do we find birds that fulfil the implication of the scientific name of the genus by having feet that may be called blood-red. H. niger, which frequents both coasts of the northern Pacific, has, it is true, yeliow legs, but towards the extremity of South America its place is taken by H. aler, in which they are bright red, and this bird is further remarkable for its laterally compressed and much upturned bill. The South African H. capensis has also scarlet legs; but in the otherwise very similar bird of Australia and New Zealand, H. unicolor, these members are of a pale brick-colour. (A. N.) The village itself is straggling and uninteresting, but the high ground between it and the pretty bays of Langland and Caswell on the southern side of the headland fronting the open channel is dotted with well-built villas and commands magnificent views. The headland terminates in two rocky islands, which to sailors coming up the channel would appear like the breasts of “mammals,” whence the comparatively modern name, The Mumbles, is supposed to be derived. On the outer of these rocks is a lighthouse erected in 1794 and maintained by the Swansea Harbour Trust. The district is rapidly increasing in popularity as a seaside resort. A pier was erected by the Mumbles Railway Company at a cost of £12,000 in 1898. The fishing industry, once prosperous, has much diminished in importance, but there are still oyster-beds in the bay.
