Dr. Campbell's first major contribution to knowledge was a new study of the respiratory muscles in man. Using primitive equipment, but a high degree of ingenuity, he made basic contributions to understanding the control of breathing in man and the way in which the symptom of shortness of breath was signalled in the human body. He broadened his field of study to include the control of arterial blood tensions in man and this work led directly to a re-examination of the methods of treating respiratory failure in the human, which placed this important clinical problem in a new scientific context and introduced a very important modification of traditional treatment which has since been everywhere adopted. He had in addition consistently applied basic scientific knowledge to the investigation of clinical problems, and has made distinguished contributions to the educational field by examining the ways in which the scientific principles underlying medical treatment can be better taught to medical students whose ambitions for themselves are all too often limited by a narrow pragmatic perspective. He has published three major books under his own authorship and collaborated in the production of a further five. His many scientific papers on a variety of topics indicate the breadth of his scientific knowledge and the exordinary ingenuity of his experimental approach to clinical problems. Of his generation, Dr. Moran Campbell is unquestionably one of the most distinguished examples of the success of the rigorous application of scientific method to clinical problems and his career in this field has been one of the most distinguished of any of his contemporaries.

Ernest Caparros est un des plus grands civilistes du Canada. En matière de conventions matrimoniales il est l'autorité reconnue. Juriste de grand renom, docteur en droit, docteur en droit canon, le professeur Caparros a oeuvré en droit de la famille et a su rayonner par des écrits de toute première qualité. Universitaire dans la pleine acception du terme, il dirige avec une rare compétence la Revue générale de droit. A partir du droit romain, du droit canon et du droit français, ce juriste a su admirablement enrichir la doctrine juridique au Canada. Une critique unanime a salué et louangé ses ouvrages et lui a valu une renommée internationale fort bien méritée. Il collabore actuellement à la publication d'un traité considérable en droit civil québécois.

Jules Carbotte has contributed significantly to our understanding of positron annihilation, superconductivity and the properties of normal metals. He made the first calculation of the parameters of the superconducting state of a metal using realistic phonon data derived from neutron experiments. His calculations of the transition temperature, and the anisotropy of the energy gap and the cyclotron mass in aluminum have also been outstanding. More recently he has deduced the properties of strong-coupling superconductors and the transport properties of the alkalis. In all his work,he has shown a real instinct for picking significant problems and for solving them imaginatively.

Manuel Cardona has contributed enormously to our modern understanding of the optical properties of solids. He has also made many seminal contributions to our theoretical understanding of the important properties of these materials. ------------------ CARDONA, Manuel –Germany Manuel Cardona has contributed enormously to our modern understanding of the optical properties of solids. He has used linear and nonlinear optical spectroscopy to systematize the electronic, structural and vibrational properties of semiconductors and superconductors. He has also made many seminal contributions to our theoretical understanding of the important properties of these materials. His work combines contributions to basic science with key ideas for subsequent applications. His recent work on measuring and explaining the diverse effects which isotopic composition has on the physical properties of materials has laid the groundwork for this new field.

Caskey, C.Thomas - Medical Sciences - University of Texas C. Thomas Caskey made discovery of triplet nucleotide repeat expansion as cause of the fragile X and myotonic dystrophy diseases which explained the increasing severity generation to generation, anticipation. ------------------ Caskey, C.Thomas - Medical Sciences - University of Texas C. Thomas Caskey, has made major contributions to understanding the universality of the genetic code for living organisms. He discovered the mechanism of peptide chain termination, identified the genetic basis of several heritable diseases, and opened the understanding of triplet repeat diseases (Fragile X, myotonic, dystrophy and others). His patent for automation of forensic science use of repeat sequences developed the method of DNA-based personal identification (now used worldwide) for forensic studies, and enabled database sharing for crime and terrorism investigation. Dr. Caskey has been a strong advocate for science in the US, Canada, and internationally.
