The theme of Dr. Jacob H. Masliyah's research and development activities over the past two decades has been the behaviour of 'flowing particles and fluids'. His work has ranged from fundamental research in fluid mechanics to highly applied research related to the extraction of bitumen from the Alberta oil sands. He carried out pioneering studies on fluid flow and heat transfer from particles submerged in flowing fluids. His general correlation for the drag force on axisymmetric particles is now included in the most widely used handbook for chemical engineers. He also carried out extensive studies on heat and mass transfer from flat plates due to impinging air jets using double-exposure and real time holography methods. His work on flow through coiled pipes and ducts is well known internationally. The most unique aspect of Dr. Masliyah's work has been his ability to bring rigorous analysis, based on fundamentals, to bear on his applied research projects. Over the last fifteen years, many of his fundamental and applied research ideas have been inspired by the challenge of improving the efficiency of bitumen extraction from oil sands using the Clark hot water process. He has made major contributions dealing with rotating tumblers, inclined plate settlers, flotation columns, and slurry behaviour. His success in research has brought significant benefits to the oil sands industry, assisting in the understanding of the operation of existing plant equipment and providing definitive methods for the design of new plants. As a consequence, the industry's capability to develop and evaluate new oil sands extraction schemes has been dramatically improved. He has published about 120 refereed journal articles and a book on 'Electrokinetic Transport Phenomena'. He is presently working on another book dealing with 'Transport Phenomena in Fluid-Solid' systems.

Professor Bryan Massam, Department of Geography, York University, has gained international recognition as an authority on location theory in the social sciences as it relates to rational planning of administrative units. He has written major studies on what is the best place to locate public institutions and other facilities within an area, taking into account all relevant but what are often contradictory social and economic factors. Bringing together concepts from the field of spatial analysis, the characteristics of different kinds of public facilities, and the need to satisfy the perceptions of the population to be served, he has developed increasingly comprehensive syntheses on decision making in the planning process.

Docteur ès lettres, Jacques Mathieu fait des recherches en histoire économique et sociale de la Nouvelle-France. Il a publié cinq livres, a collaboré à six autres, a contribué à onze ouvrages collectifs et a fait paraître de nombreux articles dans des revues scientifiques. Ses travaux, d'excellente qualité, ont mérité les prix suivants : en 1981, il est co-récipiendaire du Waldo Gifford Leland Prize attribué par la Society of American Archivists et accordé « to the author of an outstanding contribution in the field of archival history, theory and practice »; en 1982, le prix Lionel Groulx, pour son livre sur « Le Commerce Nouvelle-France-Antilles ». Il est membre de plusieurs sociétés savantes et participe à de nombreux comités, associations et directions de revue. Il s'est egalement révélé bon administrateur comme directeur du CELAT (Centre d'études sur la langue, les arts et les traditions populaires).

MATTHEN, Mohan - Department of Philosophy, University of Toronto Mohan Matthen has contributed importantly to three philosophical sub disciplines. He showed how Greek ontology was shaped by the syntax of the Greek verb “to be”, and how Greek cosmology treats the universe as a single substance. He pioneered the statistical interpretation of the neo-Darwinian Theory of Natural Selection and espoused a relational view of species. He has played a synthesizing role in perception by treating knowledge formation as a kind of action.

MATTHEN, Mohan - Département de philosophie, University of Toronto Mohan Matthen a contribué de façon importante à trois disciplines philosophiques : il a montré comment l’ontologie grecque a été influencée par la syntaxe du verbe être en grec; démontré comment la cosmologie grecque considère l’univers comme une substance unique. Il a été parmi les premiers à utiliser les statistiques dans l’interprétation de la théorie de la sélection naturelle néodarwinienne et adopté une vision relationnelle des espèces. Il a joué un rôle dans la synthétisation des perceptions en traitant la création du savoir comme un type d’action.

Damon Matthews is a Professor and Research Chair in Climate Science and Sustainability at Concordia University. Since receiving his PhD in 2004, he has produced groundbreaking advances in our understanding of the climate response to cumulative carbon emissions, and the responsibility of individual nations for historical climate warming. He has authored more than 70 peer-reviewed publications, including contributions to the last two reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Il est l'auteur de 70 publications, y compris les contributions aux rapports du Groupe d'experts intergouvernemental sur les changements climatiques.

Long Citation Daphne Maurer is an internationally acclaimed researcher who has examined long-standing scientific and philosophical issues regarding the perceptual world of infants. Professor Maurer's research overturned William James' view that infants experienced a 'blooming, buzzing confusion', and instead perceived an organized world of forms and colours. Her research also showed that perception changes substantially during development. Daphne's work during the past three decades has described these perceptual changes and linked them to anatomical and physiological changes in the brains of infants and children with and without visual abnormalities. She is one of the most highly regarded developmental scientists in the world today.
