To make democracy real, we must participate again, not only in advocacy groups, but in our political parties. A small percentage more participating actively and sincerely could have a profound impact in addressing common issues.

Reclaiming our democracy through political participation final

This document discusses an online citizens campaign called Leadnow that is advocating for cooperation between the Liberal, NDP, and Green parties in the next Canadian federal election. It outlines the history and goals of Leadnow, which includes running single progressive candidates against Conservative incumbents in ridings where the Conservative won with less than 50% of the vote. The document also discusses polling that shows voter support for cooperation and grassroots efforts that are forming across Canada to advocate for this approach.

This document summarizes the work experience and projects of a tax professional at Monsanto India Limited since June 2012. Some of the key responsibilities included tax planning, litigation, and ensuring compliance. Major projects involved the successful demerger of a Monsanto group entity, obtaining weighted tax deduction benefits for R&D centers, setting up a branch office in Bangladesh, maximizing dividend repatriation to the US parent company, and securing a lower withholding tax order. The professional also helped strategize the company's approach in an agricultural tax exemption case before the Supreme Court and ensured timely tax provisioning, audits, and returns filings.

Final Reclaiming Democracy Report

Dr. Irum Ali

The document provides an introduction and overview of a research project examining the demands and aspirations of protest movements that emerged globally between 2011-2012. The research included a global survey of media reports on protests meeting certain size and duration criteria, and qualitative field research was conducted in Athens, Cairo, London, Moscow, and Yerevan through interviews with activists and representatives of civil society organizations. The research aimed to understand both the commonalities and differences between the various protests, their generational aspects, and relationships with other actors. While many questions remain about the long-term impacts, the research found these movements introduced new ideas and changed public debates around issues of democracy, governance, inequality, and the roles of states and citizens.

VHDL Implementation of Scan-to-Scan Discriminator for the Detection of Marine...

IJERD Editor

This document describes a scan-to-scan discriminator used to detect marine targets in the presence of sea clutter. The scan-to-scan discriminator uses one of three approaches - fixed threshold, cell averaging constant false alarm rate (CA-CFAR), or a clutter map - to distinguish targets from scan to scan based on their consistent amplitude, while sea clutter amplitude varies between scans. The output is then used to tag the speed of small marine targets based on whether they appear in the same range cell across scans (slow) or some scans but not all (medium speed). Large marine targets have their speed tagged using gating.

patient monitoring using surface electromyography

The document discusses the definition and history of wireless biotelemetry. It defines biotelemetry as the remote measurement and transmission of physiological data from a living subject to a distant receiver. This allows monitoring of patients and research subjects without restricting their movement. The document outlines some of the early uses of biotelemetry in fetal heart rate monitoring and cardiovascular research. It discusses how biotelemetry works, transmitting data via radio waves without wires. The technology has advanced, allowing for miniaturized implantable transmitters and ambulatory monitoring. Biotelemetry provides benefits for both medical research and clinical care by enabling continuous remote monitoring of vital signs and physiological signals.

Managing Genetic Ancestry at Scale with Neo4j and Kafka - StampedeCon 2015

StampedeCon

At the StampedeCon 2015 Big Data Conference: The global Monsanto R&D pipeline produces millions of new plant populations every year; each which contributes to a dataset of genetic ancestry spanning several decades. Historically the constraints of modeling and processing this data within an RDBMS has made drawing inferences from this dataset complex and computationally infeasible at large scale. Fortunately, the genetic history of any plant population forms a naturally occurring directed acyclic graph, a property that has allowed us to utilize graph theory to re-imagine how ancestral lineage data is modeled, stored, and queried. In this talk we present our solutions to these problems, as realized using a graph-based approach within Neo4j. We will discuss our learnings around using Neo4j in a production setting that includes transactional and high-throughput computation, including how we transitioned from recursive JOIN queries to using Cypher and the Neo4j traversal framework to take full advantage of index-free adjacency. Our approach to polyglot persistence will be discussed via our use of a distributed commit log, Apache Kafka, to feed our graph store from sources of live transactional data. Finally, we will touch upon how we are using these technologies to annotate our genetic ancestry dataset with molecular genomics data in order to build an pipeline-scale genotype imputation platform with core algorithms built using Apache Spark.

Pet

Dean Quezon

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a nuclear medicine imaging technique that produces 3D images of functional processes in the body. A small amount of radioactive tracer is injected into the body and detected by a PET scanner. As the tracer decays it emits positrons that collide with electrons, producing pairs of gamma rays. The scanner detects these gamma rays and uses the information to construct images that show metabolic activity in the body, useful for diagnosing diseases. PET scans provide information about organ function and can be used to diagnose cancer, heart disease, brain disorders, and to monitor treatment effectiveness over time.

The document describes a project to design a 10-channel portable EEG/EMG amplifier system (EPEEA) for the University of Victoria's Assistive Technology Team (UVATT). The project goals were to design a system within a $1000 budget that could amplify and digitize brain and muscle electrical signals between 0-1000Hz from 10 channels. A group of 4 electrical engineering students were assigned the project as part of their degree requirements. The report outlines their research into EEG/EMG technologies, the design of the EPEEA system's subsystems, and a demonstration of a single channel prototype.
