Massage Therapy and Canadians’ Health Care Needs 2020: Proceedings of a National Research Priority Setting Summit

BACKGROUND The health care landscape in Canada is changing rapidly as forces, such as an aging population, increasingly complex health issues and treatments, and economic pressure to reduce health care costs, bear down on the system. A cohesive national research agenda for massage therapy (MT) is needed in order to ensure maximum benefit is derived from research on treatment, health care policy...

Determinants of summiting success and acute mountain sickness on Mt Kilimanjaro (5895 m).

OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence of acute mountain sickness (AMS), the frequency of summiting success, and the factors that affect these in trekkers on Kilimanjaro, one of the world's most summitted high-altitude peaks. METHODS The study group comprised 312 trekkers attempting Mt Kilimanjaro summit by the Marango Route. Trekkers ascended over 4 or 5 days along a fixed ascent profile, stop...

Latest Developments in Machine Translation Technology: Beginning a New Era in MT Research

Six years ago at the first MT Summit conference, the field of MT was dominated by approaches which had been established in the late 1970s. These were the systems which had built upon experience gained in what may be called the 'quiet' decade of machine translation, the ten years after the publication of the ALPAC report in 1966 had brought to an end MT research in the United States and had prof...

Vegetation and disturbance history of a rare dwarf pitch pine community in western New England, USA

Aim This study documents the vegetation history and age-structure of a rare, ridgetop dwarf pine–oak community and compares the dynamics of this unusual vegetation with similar dwarf pine communities found elsewhere in the north-eastern United States (US). Location The study area is located on the summit of Mt Everett in the Taconic Mountains of south-western Berkshire County, Massachusetts, US...
