Meagan Duhamel/Eric Radford (CAN) strike gold Meagan Duhamel/Eric Radford of Canada came from second place in the Short Program to strike the Pairs gold. China’s Wenjing Sui/Cong Han earned the silver medal and Aljona Savchenko/ Bruno Massot of Germany captured the bronze medal in their debut as a team at the World Championships. Duhamel/Radford put out a flawless performance to “Hometown Glory”, nailing a triple twist, side by side triple Lutz, throw quadruple Salchow, triple toe-double toe-double toe combination, a throw triple flip as well as four level-four elements. The Canadian Champions posted a new personal best of 153.81 points and totaled 231.99 points to defend their World title. “It was an out of body experience. We knew we were better than what we’ve done this season. It was to come here and do it for ourselves. Back in October at the Grand Prix, I thought we were out of contention for a medal at Worlds, I thought we would be fighting for 4th or 5th.

Abstract Impact cratering is an abrupt, spectacular process that occurs on any world with a solid surface. On Earth, these craters are easily eroded or destroyed through endogenic processes. The Moon and Mercury, however, lack a significant atmosphere, meaning craters on these worlds remain intact longer, geologically. In this thesis, remote-sensing techniques were used to investigate impact melt emplacement about Mercury’s fresh, complex craters. For complex lunar craters, impact melt is preferentially ejected from the lowest rim elevation, implying topographic control. On Venus, impact melt is preferentially ejected downrange from the impact site, implying impactor-direction control. Mercury, despite its heavily-cratered surface, trends more like Venus than like the Moon.

    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Qiuyuan Huang Candidate for the Degree: Doctor of Philosophy _______________________________________ Hailiang Dong, Director ________________________________________ Yildirim Dilek, Reader ________________________________________ Jonathan Levy, Reader ______________________________________ Chuanlun Zhang, External examiner ______________________________________ Annette Bollmann, Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT GEOMICROBIAL INVESTIGATIONS ON EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS: LINKING GEOCHEMISTRY TO MICROBIAL ECOLOGY IN TERRESTRIAL HOT SPRINGS AND SALINE LAKES by Qiuyuan Huang Terrestrial hot springs and saline lakes represent two extreme environments for microbial life and constitute an important part of global ecosystems that affect the biogeochemical cycling of life-essential elements. Despite the advances in our understanding of microbial ecology in the past decade, important questions remain regarding the link between microbial diversity and geochemical factors under these extreme conditions. This dissertation first investigates a series of hot springs with wide ranges of temperature (26-92oC) and pH (3.72-8.2) from the Tibetan Plateau in China and the Philippines. Within each region, microbial diversity and geochemical conditions were studied using an integrated approach with 16S rRNA molecular phylogeny and a suite of geochemical analyses. In Tibetan springs, the microbial community was dominated by archaeal phylum Thaumarchaeota

    PRESS RELEASE April 30, 2012 For information: Emma Bowie Public Relations Coordinator 613.747.1007 ext. 2547 [email protected] Skate Canada Challenge Returns to Regina for Two More Years OTTAWA, ON: Skate Canada announced today that Regina, Sask., will be the host of the 2013 Skate Canada Challenge and the 2014 Skate Canada Challenge. The 2013 event will take place from December 5-8, 2012 at Co-operators Centre at Evraz Place. The 2014 event will run from December 4-7, 2013. Regina hosted the event for the first time in December of 2011. “We are really looking forward to heading back to Regina for the next two years. Last year the city and Evraz Place were wonderful hosts. It’s a great venue and provides everything we need to host an event of this importance and magnitude,” said William Thompson, Skate Canada CEO. Over 500 skaters will participate in the event. All skaters will have to qualify through their respective sectional championships in order to compete at this event. This is the only opportunity for novice, junior and senior skaters to qualify for the 2013 and then the 2014 Canadian Figure Skating Championships. “Evraz Place, along with its community partners, the Regina Hotel Association and the Regina Opportunities Commission is proud to secure two more years for this major national competition.

While volatile content within the target, atmosphere, or some combination of the two is generally considered a major variable enhancing the mobility of ejecta, the presence of unconsolidated surface materials may also have some effect.

  • Patrick Chan Two-Time Olympic Silver Medalist Three-Time World Champion
    PATRICK CHAN TWO-TIME OLYMPIC SILVER MEDALIST THREE-TIME WORLD CHAMPION Patrick Chan was born in Ottawa, Ontario on December 31, 1990. The twenty-three year old, two-time Olympic Silver medalist, three-time World Champion and seven-time National Champion grew up on the ski hill at the Mont Tremblant Day Care. As many young Canadians do, Patrick wanted to play hockey from an early age. It was Patrick’s mother who enrolled him in Figure Skating classes to teach Patrick how to skate; the rest is history. As Patrick began Figure Skating lessons he instantly fell in love with the sport and noticed he was progressing quicker than most individuals. Figure Skating became very appealing to Patrick. Patrick was educated at École secondaire Étienne-Brûlé, a French-language school in Toronto. He has also been accepted to the University of Toronto and plans on attending in the near future. Since becoming a member of the Canadian National Team, Patrick has been heavily involved with a number of organizations including the Canadian Olympic Committee’s Adopt-an-Athlete Program; he is an ambassador for the Ronald McDonald House of Charities of Canada and Right to Play Canada. Patrick has received a number of awards in recognition of his accomplishments both on the ice and within the community as a leader and ambassador. In 2012, Patrick received the John Ralston Saul Award, the Jean Lumb Award, and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal.
