An Economic Study of the University of Tennessee Power Plant

A history of the University of Tennessee Power Plant is helpful in that it serves to emphasize the importance of having a planned program for future operation based on sound economic and engineering principles. The present power plant is the result of the expansion over a period of years of the facilities and services offered by the University and is one of the finest University Power Plants in the South

Implications of observation-fact modifiers to i2b2 ontologies

Biomedical translational research can be facilitated by integrating clinical and research data. In particular, study cohort identification and hypothesis generation is enabled by the mining of integrated clinical observations and research resources. The informatics for integrating biology and the bedside, or i2b2, framework is widely used for this biomedical data mining. The i2b2 star schema data model using entity-attribute-value (EA V) formatted concepts is a very efficient strategy for querying large amounts of data. However, until the most recent i2b2 release, the utility of the platform was somewhat constrained by the limitations on being able to express facts about facts - i.e., modify the observations about the patients. We have found that exploiting the new modifier functionality has significantly and favorably impacted the design of i2b2 ontologies, leading to easier and more meaningful query results.

The University of Manitoba Faculty of Law 1966-1984

From its inception in 1914, the Manitoba Law School had been the joint responsibility of the University of Manitoba and The Law Society of Manitoba. Its four year programme was intended to combine both academic and practical training so that on its completion the graduating student obtained not only his Bachelor of Laws Degree but also his call to the Bar of Manitoba. By the early sixties, however, with the burgeoning of legal education in universities across the country, it became clear that an overhaul of the system was necessary in Manitoba. If legal education was to meet the demands of the last half of the 20th Century and the standards being set in Canada generally, then there had to be a tremendous input of resources. This could only come through the University which, in the sixties, was enjoying good government financing
