Buying a Rat Trap ... And More (Natural History Essays)

Antenna system for MSAT mission

Spar has evaluated and compared several antenna concepts for the North American Mobile Satellite. The paper describes some of the requirements and design considerations for the antennas and demonstrates the performance of antenna concepts that can meet them. Multiple beam reflector antennas are found to give best performance and much of the design effort has gone into the design of the primary feed radiators and beam forming networks to achieve efficient beams with good overlap and flexibility. Helices and cup dipole radiators have been breadboarded as feed element candidates and meausured results are presented. The studies and breadboard activities have made it possible to proceed with a flight program

Les nouveaux alinéas 258(1) c) et d) du Code criminel : problème de constitutionnalité?

"Dans quelques heures d’intervalles, le bonheur peut envahir et le malheur frapper. Ainsi peut-il en être chez l’heureuse personne qui atteint une éphémère félicité grâce à quelques libations accompagnées d’un festin. Le réveil peut être cependant brutal lorsque le conducteur, encore légèrement euphorique, est rappelé à l’ordre par un gardien de la paix. Et le malheur devient profond lorsqu’il constate que son taux d’alcoolémie est supérieur à celui établi par le législateur [...]

L'érosion graduelle de la règle de l'étanchéité : une nouvelle menace à l'autonomie du Québec

The exclusivity rule, an essential ingredient of provincial autonomy, has been weakened by recent Supreme Court decisions such as Coughlin v. Ontario Highway Transport Board, R. v. Smith, Re Anti-Inflation Act, Re Farm Products Marketing Act, and Caloil v. A.G. of Canada. Such an evolution can be dangerous for the people of Quebec because it might permit an invasion by the federal Parliament of Quebec's fields of exclusive jurisdiction. Until a new political agreement has been reached between Canada and Quebec, our Supreme Court should scrupulously adhere to the « watertight compartment » rule

Differences in Foot-strike Patterns during Jogging: A Literature Review

The title of my project is called Differences in Foot-strike Patterns during Jogging: A Literature Review. The purpose of this literature review was to find out which foot-strike pattern, forefoot or rearfoot, induces the least amount of injury. The procedure involved reviewing four different studies and comparing and contrasting their results. After comparing and contrasting the four separate studies it was found that by using the forefoot foot-strike pattern the runner is exerting less pressure and shock on the joints; therefore, leading to a lower rate o f injury, as opposed to rearfoot runners. In conclusion, it seems that by utilizing a forefoot strike pattern while running will help reduce injuries. This literature review has provided me the information to perform my own experiment to find out whether forefoot strikes or rearfoot strikes will produce less injury in a runner.B.A. (Bachelor of Arts

Les Indiens et le droit provincial : rebondissement récent en Cour suprême du Canada

Section 88 of the Indian Act states that all laws of general application in force in any province are applicable to Amerindians, subject to certain exceptions. In a recent judgment, Dick v. R., commented upon here in, the Supreme Court of Canada gives to this provision an interpretation considered by the author to be incomplete and debatable. She therefore attempts to assess the implications of such interpretation

Universitd De Moncton\u27s Common Law School: A Unique Experience

At their founding, the nine predominantly anglophone provinces of Canada adopted the English legal system patterning their legal institutions upon those of Britain and accepting English public and private law as it then existed. Quebec, on the other hand, modelled its legal system on that of France and most of the private law of Quebec is of French origin. As a result of this historical divergence, French language legal education in Canada, which has hitherto existed only in Quebec, has trained civilian lawyers who are unable to practise in other Canadian provinces. The result of the situation has been that the francophone community outside of Quebec has not had access to legal services in its own language. There are, of course, many lawyers especially in New Brunswick and Ontario who come from French-speaking families but all have received their legal education in Englishlanguage institutions and, as a consequence, find it difficult to provide legal services in the French language
