This collection of traditional Inuit stories is told through the artwork of acclaimed Inuk artist Germaine Arnattaujuq (Arnaktauyok). From the creation of day and night and the sun and the moon to the origin of the northern lights the many mythological creatures that shaped the Arctic skies, this collection of coloured ink drawings is complemented by simple retellings of each tale that matches the depiction in Arnattaujuq''s work. Featuring an interview with the artist about her work illustrating Inuit myths and legends, this introduction to traditional Inuit stories is based on the animated film Arctic Song, which was co-produced and co-directed by Germaine Arnattaujuq (Arnaktauyok) and Neil Christopher.

This book explores different objects and their varying characteristics (hard, soft, heavy, light, etc.). It introduces readers to simple descriptive adjectives and is a great way to bring science learning and literacy learning together.

''PEG-a-Cys'' reagent, synthesized by the esterification of monomethoxy-poly(ethylene glycol) to Ellman''s reagent [5,5''-dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoic acid)], is demonstrated to react to form a disulfide bond with the cysteine residue of ALC, a 25-residue synthetic peptide (H2 N-REAAALAAAAALAAWAALCPARRRR-CO2H) designed to model a fusion protein of a membrane protein transmembrane segment. Enzymatic digestion of the four charged residues at the carboxyl terminus of the peptide--which mimics the enzymatic cleavage of a TM segment from the fusion protein--releases a hydrophobic peptide which precipitates from aqueous solution within 24 hours. The PEG-a-Cys-modified peptide remains soluble for at least 7 days following identical enzymatic digestion, as measured by amino acid analysis of ultracentrifuged samples. Circular dichroism spectra reveal that neither PEG-a-Cys-modification nor digestion of ALC cause major changes in its primarily Ã-helical secondary structure. Routine solubilization of hydrophobic peptides is expected to simplify the purification and structural characterization of membrane protein TM segments.

Mia and the monsters are looking for colours! Can you help them? In this interactive board book, children can join Mia and her monster friends as they look for different colours on the tundra.

Can you help Ukaliq and Kalla find things?In this search-and-find book, children are encouraged to find objects hidden in different scenes.

Right hippocampal volume was shown to be a mediator of the relation between FASD/prenatal alcohol exposure and virtual water maze performance. Testosterone was not related to virtual water maze performance. These data demonstrate that virtual water maze performance is sensitive to the effects of heavy prenatal alcohol exposure. Furthermore, impairments on this task may be due to fetal alcohol-related damage in the hippocampus.

Mia knows how important it is to keep the land clean. As Mia picks up garbage around her tent, she comes across her monster friends. They are all doing something to help their community. Learn about the different ways the monsters are helping out, and why Mia is proud of each of her friends.

Finally, we present a framework for application scheduling that is specifically targeted at computational scientists. This framework allows for the selection of scheduling objective function, but generally aims at dependability over speed because of the inherent need for reproducibility of results.
