Abstract The genus Ponera includes over 60 extant species worldwide. These tiny, endogeic predator ants are predominantly distributed in the Indomalaya and Australasia regions, with a few additional Holarctic species.

Efficient Coordinated Power Distribution on Private Infrastructure Andrew Perrault Master of Science Graduate Department of Computer Science University of Toronto 2013 Due to the design of current power distribution networks, it will become increasingly attractive for agents to generate their own power (distributed generation) and to construct private infrastructure (e.g., transmission lines) t...

We appreciate the comments of Demaria, Fortier, and Perrault regarding our recently published experimental study on the coronary endothelial damage during offpump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) [1]. As pointed out by them, adequate anticoagulation during off-pump CABG appears a very important point to improve clinical results preventing thrombus formation on the damaged coronary endothe...
