Canadian federalism and its future are undeniably a frequent and important topic of debate. Many people have their own opinions on the topic but they rarely have the opportunity to discuss it with fellow Canadians, experts and politicians in a setting conducive to learning and debate. With this in mind, three small citizens' assemblies on the future of federalism in Canada were held in the spring of 2008, two in Montreal and one in Kingston. For over four hours, participants had the opportunity to learn about and discuss topics relating to federalism with experts, politicians and other Canadians. The qualitative and quantitative data collected throughout these meetings provide a clearer picture of Canadians' perceptions and preferences regarding the future of their country and their province. The initial results show a wide range of knowledge, attitudes and opinions among participants at a single meeting and from one meeting to the next. There is no clear profile of a “federal citizen” but rather a multitude of profiles, sometimes very diverse. For comparison purposes, two more citizens' assemblies will be held in Belgium to compare French-speaking and Flemish-speaking Belgians' perceptions and preferences regarding federalism. [less ▲]

Miniaturization induced size effects: Experimental and numerical investigation of size effects linked to the miniaturization of metallic components

The manufacturing of small metallic components for MEMS is a great challenge for industries. However, the lack of knowledge about the mechanical behavior of metals when they are employed in small components can reduce the economical development of MEMS due to manufacturing and reliability issues. The objective of this work is to provide new scientific results to improve the understanding of the mechanical properties of micro-components. Experimental and numerical (strain gradient plasticity model) tensile tests are performed on thin nickel single crystals and polycrystals (thickness larger than 10 m) showing different size effects depending on the dimensions of the samples. These effects are then taken into account in new simplified numerical models for the prediction of micro-forming processes. [less ▲]

This research presents a new closed-loop cardiovascular system model including a description of the progressive opening and closing dynamic of the mitral valve. Furthermore, this model includes a mathematical description of the left atrium. This new CVS model enables the study of valve dysfunction in the appropriate clinical context of the overall cardiac and circulatory hemodynamics. [less ▲]

Minimal error rate of linear, quadratic and logistic rules in discriminant analysis

A simulation study has been used to evaluate the minimal error rate of three affectation rules and to compare five estimators of this error rate for two groups of observations, in 480 situations characterized by the distribution and to the overlap of the populations, the number of variables, the sample size and the heteroscedasticity degree of the population under study. The results of this study suggest that the quadratic rule might be the best for heteroscedastic normal models. The linear rule showed better performance for homoscedastic normal or moderate non-normal models. The logistic rule is the best for severe non-normal models except when homoscedasticity occurs. As far as the comparison of five estimators is concerned, the results of the study indicate that eDS and eB are the best estimators of the minimal error rate for the linear rule, e5 for the quadratic rule and eD for the logistic rule.
