1910 through the first year of World War I, were a period of shifting public health challenges and the emergence of a distinctive and cohesive Canadian approach to managing them. Driven by the vision and work of a fairly small group of dedicated public health leaders, this half-decade saw rapid growth of the Association, along with remarkably intense activity in the development of Cana-da's pub...

BACKGROUND The advent of global health initiatives (GHIs) has changed the landscape and architecture of health financing in low and middle income countries, particularly in Africa. Over the last decade, the African Region has realised improvements in health outcomes as a result of interventions implemented by both governments and development partners. However, alignment and harmonisation of par...

Article history: Received 25 October 2016 Accepted 25 October 2016 Available online 26 October 2016 chrony. The MEG signatures and their analyses by statistical heat mapping, approaches pioneered by this laboratory, have allowed for the separation of reported symptoms of GWI into distinct HLA and nonHLA related domains. These findings lend further credence to an immune/neuroimmune basis for the...

Network representations can be used to study numerous complex systems. Communities in networks consist of sets of nodes that are relatively densely connected to each other. Recently, we have developed a community detection method for multislice multiplex, multiscale, and/or time-dependent networks in which we optimize a single quality function that generalizes modularity using an appropriate nu...

Five experiments investigated the war contagion phenomenon in the context of international relations, hypothesizing that reminders of past inter(but not intra-) state war will increase support for future, unrelated interstate violence. After being reminded of the Korean War as an interstate rather than intrastate conflict, South Koreans showed stronger support for violent responses to new, unre...

We prove a localization formula in equivariant algebraic K-theory for an arbitrary complex algebraic group acting with finite stabilizer on a smooth algebraic space. This extends to non-diagonalizable groups the localization formulas of H.A. Nielsen [Nie] and R. Thomason [Tho5] As an application we give a Riemann-Roch formula for quotients of smooth algebraic spaces by proper group actions. Thi...

A digraph is said to be n-unavoidable if every tournament of order n contains it as a subgraph. Let f (n) be the smallest integer such that every oriented tree is f (n)-unavoidable. Sumner (see 7]) noted that f (n) 2n ? 2 and conjetured that equality holds. HH aggkvist and Thomason established the upper bounds f (n) 12n and f (n) (4 + o(1))n. Let g(k) be the smallest integer such that every ori...
