Bob Hodges is Canada's premier synthetic-peptide chemist and is internationally recognized as being at the leading edge of peptide chemistry. Using synthetic peptides he has made major contributions in our understanding the structure of tropomyosin and in identifying the active site regions of several muscle proteins such as troponin-I as well as regions of interaction between the various members of the troponin-tropomyosin complex. His studies with the calcium binding peptide analogs of the troponin C/calmoduli calcium binding sites have given clear-cut chemical rationales as to the metal specificity of these sites and why some are high-affinity and others are low-affinity. Dr. Hodges has also expanded into new and promising areas such as the technology and production of antibodies to proteins from synthetic peptide antigens. In addition, he has provided a very valuable resource to other investigators in Canada requiring the design and synthesis of tailor-made peptides through the Alberta Peptide Institute which he directs. His international stature is also indicated by the regularity with which he serves as a key-note speaker in symposia dealing with peptide chemistry, calcium binding proteins and HPLC chromatography, and his extensive and significant bibliography of some 152 publications.

Les traitements et les interventions de prévention des rechutes pour les problèmes de jeu, largement adoptés par Hodgins, ont aidé des milliers de personnes et leurs familles dans le monde entier.

LONG Dr. Hoefer enjoys international recognition as scholar, author, educator, technical leader and journal editor in microwave engineering and computational electromagnetics. He laid the foundations for E-plane circuit design by translating electromagnetic field theory and mathematical formalism into novel computer-aided design tools. He pioneered time domain modeling of analog and digital circuits, and made seminal contributions to the principal time domain numerical methods employed today: Transmission Line Matrix (TLM), Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD), and Wavelet (MRTD) Modeling. The hallmark of his research is his capacity to translate scientific insight into powerful computational techniques and vital design tools that have become industry standards.

Paul Felix Hoffman's publications and lectures have won him international recognition as one of Canada's most brilliant young geologists. His well conceived and beautifully documented field work in the Bear-Slave region of the Precambrian Shield has resulted in exciting new concepts which suggest that Plate tectonic processes and the Wilson Cycle were operative more than 2,000 million years ago in the Coronation Geosyncline. Thus the belt reflects the opening and closing of an ocean basin along the northwestern margin of North America. Furthermore he was the first to recognize that Proterozoic basins adjoining the Coronation Geosyncline are probably aulacogens representing failed arms of triple-armed rifts. As a result of an incredible rate of detailed mapping, he has demonstrated that the deformation of the Athapuscow Aulacogen was characterized by northward gliding nappes - the first demonstration of this type of tectonics in the Precambrian Shield. Finally, he is an outstanding lecturer having been honoured as a 'distinguished Lecturer' by several North American geological societies.

P.C. Hoffmann is a scholar of international stature who has analyzed the temper, structure and techniques of the domestic opposition to Hitler in a series of magisterial and exhaustive studies in five languages ranging from the philosophical and political motivations of the opposition movements to the techniques of conspiracy to the countervailing system of personal security surrounding the dictator. The fundamental question posed of the limits of obedience gives these scholarly studies a resonance which far transcends the immediate boundaries of the subject involved.

Jim Hogg is the world's leading lung pathologist. His work has been cited over 2500 times since 1980 and at least one of his papers is a SCI Classic. Among many other accomplishments he was the first to: 1) determine the site of airways obstruction in chronic bronchitis and emphysema pointing out the importance of small airway inflammation in this disease; 2) measure bronchial epithelia permeability starting the current explosion of new knowledge in cystic fibrosis and asthma in this area; 3) study neutrophil kinetics and their margination in pulmonary capillaries in relation to the pathogenesis of emphysema.

Professor Hollander's renown rests chiefly on his work on classical economics which has resulted in numerous works but especially in his book on "The Economics of Adam Smith" which has been characterized as the most important that has been published for many decades on this subject. His technical skills, his erudition and his dedication to research and teaching make him one of the world's most distinguished historians of economic thought.

John L. Holmes' work on the kinetics and energetics of gas-phase reactions of organic ions has made him a leader in this field. His development of new methods for measuring the release and partitioning of energy in ionic fragmentations, from the detailed shapes of metastable ion peaks, has provided by far the most quantitative measures of these important quantities. A critical survey of the data for the heats of formation or organic ions has led him to formulate general rules for assessing and predicting ionic heats of formation, a scheme that complements that for neutral compounds.

Clay Holroyd is a Canada Research Chair in cognitive neuroscience. His primary research concerns how the brain selects and sustains extended sequences of effortful behavior, such as how we follow through with a decision to jog up a steep mountain. He has produced 80 publications that have been cited more than 6,700 times, and is well known for his commitment to mentoring a cadre of highly-qualified personnel.

Clay Holroyd est titulaire d’une chaire de recherche du Canada en neuroscience cognitive. Ses recherches primaires s’intéressent à la façon dont le cerveau sélectionne et soutient des séquences étendues de comportements dynamiques, par exemple, comment nous allons au bout de notre décision de monter une montagne escarpée. Il a produit 80 publications qui ont été citées plus de 7 000 fois, et est très connu pour son engagement dans la supervision d’un personnel hautement qualifié.

Michiel Horn's books show the range of his talent and the elegance of his research. His research is as good as his prose, comprehensive and searching. His books turn dreary subjects into something vivid and accessible. He is that rare historian whose books make their own public. His 1999 work, Academic Freedom in Canada: a History, is a judicious account of a fundamental concept in our intellectual community.
