telecommunications journal cites 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 professor's article as "most frequently downloaded"

(june 20, 2007 --thunder bay, on) dr. alexander serenko, assistant professor of the faculty of business, recently learned that under the category 'most frequently downloaded article in telecommunications policy - a scholastic journal that focuses on the economic and societal impact of the ever-changing and influential roles of telecommunications - serenko's article has consistently ranked among the top five over a one-year period. his article, entitled "satisfaction with mobile services in canada: an empirical investigation" (co-authored by ofir turel), stood in first place from april - june 2006, third place from july - september 2006, fifth place from october - december 2006, and fourth place from january - march 2007.

the journal's multidisciplinary and international orientation fosters the sharing of theoretical and practical issues related to telecommunications-based discussion of research and debate among academics, consultants, industry managers, policymakers, regulators, and other professionals. its scope encompasses issues regarding telecom reform at national, regional, and international levels, and incorporates pressing issues that confront developed and developing countries. in particular, telecommunications policy is a resource that pays particular attention to infrastructure development, management, regulation, and their subsequent implications on the convergence of knowledge.

"to date, there has been little research conducted on customer loyalty and satisfaction where mobile telecommunications devices are concerned. over the last year, telecommunications policy readers have not only revealed their initial interest in this article as it serves as an applicable resource to our busy, consumer-minded lifestyles, but also, they have shown the need to obtain thorough, calculated information that presents findings on the quality and reputation of various brands and services available today" says dr. serenko. dr. bahram dadgostar, dean of faculty of business adds "the ongoing interest and continued status of this article certainly speaks to recent increases in the demand for advanced mobile telecommunications."

dedication ceremony speech

william (bill) tamblyn centennial building


dr. gilbert, members of the board, 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 faculty and staff, friends and family.

let me begin by saying that it is with deep regret that my father is unable to attend today's dedication ceremony. i am however pleased to have my mother with us today as well as two of my siblings and my own family. we are all very proud of my father and his achievements and honoured that we could be here today to celebrate his contribution to the university. knowing that my father couldn't be here i would like to thank debra mckever for making arrangements with the staff of the technology services centre to have this morning's ceremony taped so that my father can watch it at home in the days to come.

a little over a month ago while visiting my parents in collingwood i had the opportunity to sit down with my father to discuss what he would like to include in this speech. he began by stating that the board of governors had previously recognized his contribution to the university when the lake was named in his honour and with modesty he said it really wasn't necessary for him to be recognized again. however he pointed out that there were some, including 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and faculty who were opposed to the idea of creating a lake in the first place and were more inclined to refer to the structure holding back the waters of the mcintyre in my father's name rather than the lake itself. not wanting to be immortalized as dam tamblyn my father has gratefully accepted the dedication of the centennial building in his honour.

construction of the centennial building began in 1967 and unlike the lake was completed with out controversy. the honourable lord bowden of chesterfield, vice chancellor of manchester university attended the ground breaking ceremony which was anything but ordinary. sticks of dynamite had been placed at each corner of the building site and were detonated by lord bowden who was so impressed with the ensuing explosion that he turned to my father and said "i rather liked that might we do it again?"

the centennial building was completed in 1971 at the height of the university's expansion. it was my father who oversaw this period of rapid growth. during his seven years in office the institution grew from a small college of arts, science and technology with an enrolment of less than 500 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , to a flourishing university with an enrolment of 3,000 full time 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 . the enrolment growth was matched by the development of new academic programs, at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, by the attraction of well qualified teaching staff, which grew from less than 50 to well over 200 and the addition of major capital facilities.

bill tamblyn was one of the few university presidents who did not rise through the ranks of academia into administration. at the time of his appointment he was chairman of the board of governors and had been an active member of the board and the previous advisory committee since 1951. although not of an academic background, my father felt that at the time, his experience in construction and management, were, perhaps more valuable in the role.

i myself credit the board of governors of the day for selecting from among themselves an individual to lead the newly created university. each member of the board shared a vision and that was to build a university to serve the people of northwestern ontario. it was a vision that was deeply rooted in the psych of living in this region of the province. a manner of thinking that is as persistent today as it was then. who better to lead the university then someone who shares this understanding and has the commitment to fulfill this vision?

in his report to the board of governors at the end of his second year in office my father stated;

"阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 was created to fill the void of higher education facilities which have limited the opportunities of young people and indeed the entire potential of northwestern ontario for so many years. today we can see the physical change taking place as our new buildings rise to meet this long suppressed need. however, there is more important change taking place in northwestern ontario due to 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 . you may call it the unseen hand of change - as yet intangible, but nevertheless, a working force. it is made up of many factors.
you may start with pride. the people of our region, from kenora to wawa, look to the university with pride - not as a status symbol, but as a living place of opportunity as a point of recognition of this area's potential.
then you may turn to the young people, and particularly the small but growing body of graduates of 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 . more than 80% of our graduates during the last three years have stayed in northwestern ontario to teach, to work in e industry, or to attempt further studies. they are helping to fill that the vast vacuum of young leadership which are region has lacked in the past.
you may then look to the university and lakehead community itself. the injection of a 120 members of the university teaching staff many qualified and recognized experts in their field, is bound to have an effect on the social environment as a whole. further, research projects aimed specifically at northwestern ontario have been started in many fields and will expand greatly as our graduate programs begin.

he concluded by saying that;

often, the awesome cost of building programs and impressive architect's sketches of multimillion dollar buildings tend to obscure the other more important human values that the university brings to an area. in a recent campaign for public support; we tried to explain realistically the range of financial benefits of the university will bring to the community. these benefits are important, but it is the intangible unseen benefits, such as new opportunities for human development and the search for new knowledge in all areas that this university must promote and foster.

in the last forty years 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 has firmly established itself as a first class institution with recognition from across canada and abroad for the quality of its programs and the calibre of excellence among its graduates. it has had a profound and far reaching effect both on the culture and the economy of thunder bay. the vision of creating a university to serve northwestern ontario has been fulfilled and continues to develop beyond the dreams of the original board of governors and first president and vice chancellor of 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 for which we can all be proud.

thank you.

lakehead professor presents dickens paper in genoa, italy

(june 14, 2007 --thunder bay, on) today, philip allingham, phd, associate professor with the faculty of education at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 , will be presenting his paper entitled "charles 'carlo' dickens in and out of italy in 1844--the chimes" at the dickens, victorian culture, and italy conference in genoa, italy.

professor allingham's paper presents the ways by which the chimes, the second of the christmas books, achieves a social integration and emphasis on the working class that dickens had not previously dealt with in his narrative fiction. dickens wrote the chimes in the fall of 1844 while he resided in genoa with his family. "although i have explored various avenues of his work in previous papers, this particular submission takes a new historicist approach by providing a biographical, social, and historical context for the novella."

allingham's work will also be published in conference proceedings sponsored by the universities of milan and genoa, and the italian cultural ministry.

"this conference promises to provide the utmost cultural context regarding the study of dickens, his work, and their combined relation to italy" says allingham. "i am thrilled, not only to present my own work, but also to learn what my colleagues and fellow 'dickensians' from around the world have produced."

allingham will go on sabbatical in january of 2008: he will work on "thomas hardy's illustrated fiction, 1870-1900," a work that, although currently in manuscript, has been proposed to and accepted by mellen press. it will be completed by september of 2008.

in addition to his research, allingham has also played an academic role in organizing events related to his educational domain. in may, he, along with several of his colleagues, attended the 10th annual oise/ut-faculties of education-ministry of education conference, an annual forum held in toronto. allingham sat on the board of conference organizers and served as facilitator for english language arts elementary and secondary.

lakehead u’s civil engineering steel bridge team places 4th at us national competition

(thunder bay - june 6, 2007) after placing second overall at the american institute of steel construction/american society of civil engineers mid-west regional student steel bridge competition in march, 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 's civil engineering steel bridge team went to los angeles , california , with a new lightweight bridge design and a drive to succeed.

in competition at the 16th annual us national student steel bridge competition against 42 other university teams, lakehead's team placed 4th overall and took home 1st place in the construction economy category.

"this is a national competition that pits lakehead engineering 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 against those from large american universities such as massachusetts institute of technology (mit), texas a & m university, and michigan state university," says dr. tony gillies, faculty advisor to the team and chair of the department of civil engineering at lakehead u. "our 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 consistently do well; lakehead has qualified for the national competition every year since 1999 by placing in the top two at the regional competition."

the 16th annual aisc/asce us national student steel bridge competition was hosted by california state university , northridge, may 26 and may 27 in los angeles .

the goal of the competition is to design a 1/10 scale model for replacement of a century-old bridge that crosses a river and floodway. the models, approximately 21 feet long, are erected under simulated field conditions and then load tested. the specification for the bridge changes from year to year, constantly challenging the engineering skills of civil engineering 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 from universities all over the united states and canada . not only does the event test the 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 ' structural design capabilities, it also challenges them to fabricate and construct their design. the bridges are judged based on lightness, construction speed, stiffness (deflection), aesthetics, efficiency (combination of bridge weight and stiffness), and economy (construction time and labour in building a real bridge).

the bridge is designed and the components fabricated at the university by the 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 prior to the competition. at the competition, the spectators watch as the team assembles their bridge as quickly as possible. after construction, the assembled bridge is weighed to determine which is the lightest bridge in the competition, and then loaded using 100 25 lb lengths of angle iron to simulate a loaded truck crossing the bridge, with a total applied load of 2500 lbs (more than ten times the weight of the bridge). this tests the strength and stiffness. the placement of the loading was determined by two rolls of a dice. the team had to design their bridge by examining thirty-six possible load cases.

the lakehead bridge weighed 149.5 lbs (fourth lightest) and was assembled in 2.8 minutes by the four student constructors. the bridge took 1st place for construction economy, 3rd for assembly time, 4th for lightness, 9th for display (aesthetics) and 15th for structural efficiency --placing 4th overall.

lakehead's teams have done consistently well at the national level, placing 10th in 2001, 2nd in 2002, and 5th in 2003 and 2006.

the team is grateful for the support of the many local and national sponsors who made participation possible at the regional and national competitions. the team members are: will bamsey, troy hengen, amanda krueger, james lee, and tom lovric. the faculty advisors are dr. tony gillies and dr. timo tikka, both with the faculty of engineering at lakehead u.

hard rock geology graduate wins gelinas medal

(june 5, 2007 --thunder bay, on) the volcanology and igneous petrology division of the geological association of canada has presented marc rinne with a gelinas medal for the best bsc thesis written by a canadian or submitted to a canadian university.
the subject of marc rinne's award-winning thesis was a large intrusive rock formation 30 km south east of marathon, ontario. in his thesis, rinne described the rock formation in detail and speculated on the cause of its formation. what he learned in the process was how to bring together several different lines of evidence (such as chemistry and texture) to arrive at his conclusions. the biggest difficulty, he says, was keeping his research focused.
"it is an honour to win the gelinas medal," says rinne. "it puts my work into perspective, and says something of the level of research available to undergrads in lakehead's geology program."
the volcanology and igneous petrology division of the geological association of canada annually presents three medals for the most outstanding theses, written by canadians or submitted to canadian universities, which comprise material at least 50% related to volcanology and igneous petrology. a gold medal is awarded for the best phd thesis, a silver medal for the best msc thesis, and a copper medal for the best bsc thesis. nominated theses are evaluated on the basis of originality, validity of concepts, organization and presentation of data, understanding of volcanology and petrology, and depth of research.
marc rinne's supervisor at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 , dr. peter hollings, associate professor of geology, says, "of all the honours 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 i have supervised to date, marc was one of the most impressive. from the very start of the project he had a clear idea of his objective and how he was going to meet those goals, something that i have found to be rare in 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 at this level."
it's been a good year for marc rinne.
in may 2007, he was one of 24 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 across canada chosen to attend the prospectors and developers association of canada (pdac) student-industry mineral exploration workshop held in and around sudbury, ontario. during a two-week period he attended lectures and presentations on geological mapping, geophysics, geochemistry, exploration health and safety, the environment, and regulatory affairs.
come september, marc rinne will be back at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 working on a master's degree in geology. for this degree he will be conducting research on another unexplored rock formation near marathon, only this time his research will be funded by metalcorp which has contributed $50,000 over a two-year period.
says peter hollings, "the gelinas award recognizes marc's work as being outstanding among canadian honours 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and as such is a significant achievement for a 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 student. previous winners have gone on to become leading researchers in canada."
marc rinne graduated from 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 in may 2007 with a bsc (hons) and was the recipient of the geology prize, awarded by the department of geology to the best qualified student in the graduating class.

women’s stories on hemorrhagic stroke empowering

(may 31, 2007 --thunder bay, on) a new book by sociology professor sharon dale stone sheds light on how women experience hemorrhagic stroke.

a change of plans - women's stories of hemorrhagic stroke is a collection of eleven narratives by women who experienced hemorrhagic strokes before the age of 50. the author herself experienced a stroke as a young girl. it came on suddenly and the symptoms were misdiagnosed. who would think that an eleven-year-old girl would be having a brain aneurysm?

as she grew into adulthood, the author thought deeply about the silence that had surrounded her experience and the psychic trauma she wasn't allowed to talk about. in the 1990s, she happened upon an article written by a woman who had suffered a hemorrhagic stroke at the age of 24, and for the first time she felt less isolated in her experience. with her new awareness that there were others like her, she embarked upon a journey through canada , the u.s. , england , and scotland to find and publish their stories.

"i hope that these stories will be empowering for women survivors of stroke," says dr. sharon dale stone. " i feel confident that many women who have survived a stroke and been left with impairments will find something in these women's stories that will resonate with their own experiences."

the book opens with a background discussion of hemorrhagic stroke and the disabling consequences that follow. the women's stories are told honestly and movingly, and touch on the themes of recovery and rehabilitation; being a medical patient; self-image; being or not being recognized as disabled; relations with family, friends and co-workers; and how the stroke so suddenly changed their lives.

a change of plans is invaluable reading for professionals working with stroke survivors and for survivors who are looking for others with similar experiences. it is a long overdue contribution to the scarce literature on how women experience this disability.

the book is being launched at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 on thursday, may 31, 2007. it is published by sumach press and is available for purchase at the 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 alumni bookstore at a cost of $26.95.

about the author: dr. sharon dale stone is an associate professor and chair of the department of sociology at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 . as an activist and academic, she is committed to giving voice to groups of people whose experiences are marginalized in mainstream society, and has published widely on the many issues facing women with disabilities.
