Joseph Melançon, professeur de littérature et de théorie littéraire à l'Université Laval, est connu pour ses travaux de recherches en didactique institutionnelle et en axiologie. Il a publié trois livres et contribué à seize ouvrages collectifs, de même que plus de quarante articles parus dans des revues canadiennes et étrangères, notamment en France, en Belgique, en Italie, en Israël, au Brésil et aux États-Unis. Il a dirigé la revue « Études littéraires » et a été membre du comité de rédaction de « Protée ».

Dr. Ronald Melzack is a professor of psychology at McGill University. He is concerned with understanding the nature of pain. His neurophysiological and psychological investigations have established the importance of higher-level neural control systems on the perception and tolerance of pain. The resulting Melzack-Wall gate-control theory has replaced older neurological and psychological ideas about pain and offers a new approach to the understanding and treatment of chronic pain. His work is original, significant, and influential. It has stimulated new lines of fundamental neurological and psychological research, and has suggested novel practical applications.

LONG CITATION Alberto Mendelzon is an international leader in database theory and the preeminent Canadian researcher in data management. His pioneering work on database dependencies has been influential in both the theory and practice of data management. His work has inspired numerous applications in database design, query processing, and data integration. He has made fundamental contributions in the areas of graphical and visual query languages, knowledge-base systems, and online analytic processing. His work has provided the foundation for languages used to search web and XML data.

Dr. Geoffrey Meyerhof, Dean of Engineering at the Nova Scotia Technical College, is still an active research worker in soil mechanics and foundation design. Following experience at the British Building Research Station, he has worked in Canada for forty-five years and continued the production of notable papers on theoretical soil action and allied experimental subjects. Eminent as teacher and research leader, he is the author of many outstanding papers in his special field that are amongst those most frequently quoted in international geotechnical literature.

Miller obtained his B.Sc. ('60, Alberta), M.Sc. ('61, Alberta) and Ph.D. ('66, Caltech) in physics but as a postdoc at the Ontario Cancer Institute (on staff since 1967) switched to cell biology. Early work focussed on developing physical methods for the analysis and separation of cells (most successfully the "Staput" method, a Science Citation 'classic') and applying these to studies of the immune system in mouse and man. More recently he introduced (Nature, 1980) and provided evidence for the concept of a veto cell, a cell which can inactivate a T cell that recognizes it. He is presently studying how veto cells can be used to establish transplantation tolerance without using immunosuppression. He has more than 170 publications and has given more than 150 invited talks outside Ontario. At University of Toronto, Miller became Professor in 1976, was founding Chair of Immunology (1984-90) and is now (1992-) Chair of Medical Biophysics. He has served on more than a dozen provincial and national grants panels and advisory committees (MRC, NCI, Arthritis Society etc.). He is currently President of the Canadian Society for Immunology. Thus, in addition to having acquired an interested reputation for his scientific achievements, he has contributed significantly to the education and scientific development of immunology in Canada.
