Magellan Aerospace (Magellan) and the University of Manitoba today unveiled their new Advanced Satellite Integration Facility (or ASIF) at Magellan's facility in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The facility will support research, development, construction and testing of satellite systems and components.

The facility was constructed in an existing 6,000-square-foot area, large enough to accommodate up to three satellites at various stages of assembly with sufficient ceiling height for high crane lifting requirements. The ASIF is an ISO Class 8 cleanroom facility that will satisfy the requirements of current and future satellite programs initiated by the Government of Canada.

The facility expansion was funded by an investment of $2.4 million from Western Economic Diversification Canada.

Magellan invested $1.5 million which includes $625,000 for the establishment of an Industrial Research Chair in the area of satellite development within the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Manitoba, and contributed to the construction of the facility, multi-year research and development (R&D) and educational funding.

The Honourable Shelly Glover, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages and Member of Parliament for Saint Boniface, was present to unveil the new facility. "Our Government recognizes the importance of collaborative research, commercialization and skills development to the overall competitiveness of our economy. The Advanced Satellite Integration Facility will bring together industry expertise, academic skills-development and leading-edge technology to significantly enhance the future growth opportunities and economic spinoff potential for Manitoba's thriving aerospace industry," said Minister Glover.

"The University of Manitoba is excited to be working in partnership with Magellan Aerospace and taking the lead on increasing the space technology sector in Western Canada," said Dr. Digvir Jayas, vice-president (research and international) and Distinguished Professor at the University of Manitoba.

Mr. Don Boitson, Vice President General Manager, Magellan Aerospace, Winnipeg, said "Magellan's focus in the ASIF partnership goes well beyond the bricks and mortar of this world-class facility. Magellan's investment in facilities, equipment, university research, and education support over the next five years reflects our commitment to both community and youth education." He added, "This partnership fosters a very meaningful relationship between academia and industry."

About the University of Manitoba The University of Manitoba is western Canada's first university, founded more than 137 years ago, and located in the heart of the country, we are the region's largest and only research intensive university offering over 100 degrees, diplomas, and certificates more than 60 at the undergraduate level including professional disciplines such as medicine, law, and engineering. Our energetic university community is comprised of close to 30,000 students, 8,700 faculty and staff, and 190,000 alumni. Nearly 13 per cent of our current students are international, representing close to 104 countries. The University of Manitoba campuses are located on the original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Mtis Nation. It is home to a thriving community of Indigenous researchers, staff and more than 2,000 First Nations, Mtis and Inuit students, including over 150 graduate students one of the largest Indigenous student bodies in the country.

Cancer Nanomedicine Marketplace Discussed by Kuick Research in Topical Study Recently Published at MarketPublishers.com

Posted on by

London, UK (PRWEB) March 05, 2015

The emergence of nanotechnology has greatly impacted the clinical therapeutics landscape over the past decade. The pharmaceutical world has witnessed advancements in biocompatible nanoscale carriers for drug delivery in the form of liposomes and polymeric nanoparticles that are capable of delivering manifold drugs with more safety and efficiency. In the area of cancer therapeutics, the nanoparticles could perhaps rely greatly upon the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect induced by leaky tumour vasculatures for a better accumulation of drugs at the tumour sites. Due to these benefits, the therapeutic nanoparticles in this respect have grown into a very promising field with the potential to successfully take the place of traditional chemotherapy.

The development of nanoparticle drug delivery systems for the treatment of cancer is set to become a lucrative field in the years to come. The protein polymers from natural sources emerge as up-and-coming materials for building the nanocarrier systems. The commercial success of albumin-based nanoparticles has also generated great interest in other proteins. With the rational design of protein nanoparticles on the grounds of their behaviours in the tumour microenvironment and based on the cell biology of cancer, enhanced cancer treatment efficacy and safety can be achieved.

Topical report Cancer Nanomedicine Market & Pipeline Insight 2015 worked out by Kuick Research is now available at MarketPublishers.com.

Report Details:

Title: Cancer Nanomedicine Market & Pipeline Insight 2015 Published: February, 2015 Pages: 220 Price: US$ 2,000.00 http://marketpublishers.com/report/diagnostics-diseases/cancer/cancer-nanomedicine-market-pipeline-insight-2015.html

Rahmberg-Walsh joins school board

Posted on by

FITCHBURG -- The newest member of the School Committee is Elizabeth Rahmberg-Walsh, a behavioral-science professor in Fitchburg State University's criminal-justice program.

At a joint meeting of the School Committee and City Council on Tuesday night, Rahmberg-Walsh was appointed by a 14-3 vote.

Rahmberg-Walsh, a Boutelle Street resident, was one of two candidates who submitted their names for the appointment. The other is longtime Fitchburg resident Kelly Johnson, a Charles Street resident.

The position became open in January when School Committee member Nick Carbone resigned because he had moved out of the city.

Rahmberg-Walsh was at a criminal-justice science conference Tuesday night and was not able to attend the meeting, but prepared a video presentation that was played on her behalf. In the video, she said she is concerned about students graduating from high school unprepared for college.

"We cannot wait until students are in high school to begin those lessons," she said.

Rahmberg-Walsh also serves as co-director of FSU's dating-violence prevention program.

Johnson said she was not necessarily the best candidate for the position, but submitted her name for consideration to give the voting members a choice.

Johnson has a son in middle school who went through South Street Elementary, but she has since moved him to a private school. She said she did so because of concerns of him being bullied while walking to the middle school, and identified bullying as the top issue she wished to focus on.

The three members who voted for Johnson are City Councilor Joel Kaddy, School Committee member Pete Stephens and Mayor Lisa Wong, who chairs the School Committee.
