As Canada made plans in the early 1960s to build The Confederation Centre of the Arts in Charlottetown, it sought the input of one of the world鈥檚 foremost thinkers in the area of architectural acoustics to help design the main performance stage. Dr. Leo Beranek, a founder of the internationally known Bolt, Beranek & Newman (BBN), took on the job, creating, with his team, a multi-purpose main stage capable, even a half a century later, of thrilling audiences with versatile acoustic experience. Psychomusicology: Music, Mind & Brain, a journal edited by 秀色短视频鈥檚 Dr. Annabel Cohen, pays tribute to Dr. Beranek in his 100^th year in a special edition with the aim of bringing together the fields of architectural acoustics and musical psychology.

In the journal鈥檚 editorial, Dr. Cohen harkens back to a presentation she attended at the 2013 International Congress of Acoustics in Montreal. Dr. Tapio Lokki of Aalto University in Finland explained his new method for evaluating concert hall acoustics by asking listeners in a great concert hall to carry out psychological judgments of the symphonic sound created by a virtual orchestra of 35 synchronized loudspeakers located on the stage. Each audio speaker produced the highly controlled prerecorded performance of an individual member of the orchestra. The virtual orchestra allowed acoustics of different halls to be compared while holding the orchestral production constant, avoiding the variability associated with the same symphony orchestra performing in different halls.  

鈥淒uring the talk, it had occurred to me how little attention music psychology research pays to performance space, this all-important variable in the music-listening experience,鈥� wrote Dr. Cohen. 鈥淪uch research that requires behavioral science methods and architectural and musical acoustics knowledge places a heavy demand on researchers generally trained in only one or the other area. It seemed that a special issue of Psychomusicology: Music, Mind & Brain might provide an opportunity to build bridges between the two fields.鈥�

The special issue of Psychomusicology was a joint effort of Dr. Cohen and guest editors Ingo Witew of the Institute of Technical Acoustics, RWTW Aachen University (the largest technical university in Germany); Pamela Clements of Clements Acoustics Design Associates, New South Wales, Australia; and, Dr. John S. Bradley, recently retired from the National Research Council of Canada, Ottawa. The issue includes a fascinating autobiography/biography of Dr. Leo Beranek written jointly by Dr. Beranek and Dr. Cohen, and over 20 international contributions on concert hall design and the listener response鈥攊ncluding one by Dr. Beranek himself.

Details on the special issue of Psychomusicology: Music, Mind & Brain can be found at or Annabel Cohen, Department of Psychology. 

Dr. Ian Dohoo, professor emeritus of epidemiology at the Atlantic Veterinary College (AVC) at 秀色短视频, has been recognized by his peers for his contributions to the field of epidemiology through the commissioning of a portrait.

Unveiled at a recent celebration at AVC, the portrait depicts Dohoo relaxing at his home on Prince Edward Island. Painted by Grazyna Adamska-Jarecka, of Guelph, Ontario, it will hang in the AVC Department of Health Management, Dohoo鈥檚 academic department.

Dr. Wayne Martin, Dohoo鈥檚 PhD supervisor and mentor, was also honoured with a portrait by the same artist, which is now hanging in the Ontario Veterinary College鈥檚 (OVC) Department of Population Medicine. Martin was founding chair of that department. Martin and Dohoo are considered by their colleagues to be the 鈥渇ather and son鈥� of veterinary epidemiology in Canada.

The Martin-Dohoo portrait project was initiated in August 2014 by epidemiologist Bruce McNab, an alumnus of OVC, with the support of epidemiology colleagues and the Canadian Association of Veterinary Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine. The project was led at AVC by Dr. Javier Sanchez, Department of Health Management.

Colleagues and former students from 12 countries contributed more than enough funding to commission the portraits. Not only was the project completed within budget, but the extra funds will be used to help epidemiology graduate students travel to present their work at future conferences.

Dohoo graduated with a degree in veterinary medicine from OVC in 1976, and in 1982 with his PhD. He joined AVC in 1985 and led the development of the College鈥檚 internationally recognized research program in veterinary epidemiology, becoming the first director of the renowned 秀色短视频 Centre for Veterinary Epidemiological Research at AVC.

He has won numerous awards for teaching and research, including appointment as a Fellow of the prestigious Canadian Academy of Health Sciences, professor emeritus at 秀色短视频, several honorary doctorates and lifetime achievement awards from both the American and international veterinary epidemiology societies. With Martin and Dr. Henrik Stryhn of AVC, he authored the standard research text used for epidemiology curricula in veterinary schools around the world, among other publications. Dohoo continues to teach graduate-level epidemiology courses around the world.

Martin holds a degree in veterinary medicine and a master of science degree from OVC, and a PhD from the University of California at Davis. Like Dohoo, he has received numerous awards and honours for his contributions to epidemiology, including appointment as a Fellow of the prestigious Canadian Academy of Health Sciences, designation as professor emeritus at the University of Guelph, and honorary degrees. He continues to practice and consult in the field of veterinary epidemiology.

Over the last 30 years, libraries have been transformed by the changes in information and learning, many of them wrought by developments in digital technologies.

"The Robertson Library at the 秀色短视频," says Vice-President Academic Christian Lacroix, "has been an innovator in the development of new approaches to serving a diverse community of learners and scholars, and has demonstrated a creative approach to developing new services. The intersection between skills development and libraries is an increasingly prevalent one, with many libraries delivering a strong information and digital literacy effort in partnership with faculty."

鈥淚n order to better leverage this intersection, the Office of Skills Development and Learning (OSDL) will be combined with the Library,鈥� adds Dr. Lacroix.

This new unit will include responsibility for the Library, Central Printing, Copyright Office, Professional Development and Continuing Education, PLAR, Seniors College, Explore/EAL, Career Services, and eLearning.

The merged portfolio will provide an innovative approach to the delivery of academic support services, and build on the natural synergies between the Library and OSDL staff. Since the Library is open seven days a week throughout the year, it will also open opportunities to deliver more services to more people at more times, leveraging the entire building as an academic hub: the information and learning crossroads of the 秀色短视频 campus.

Dr. Lacroix says, 鈥淭he current University Librarian has a seat at the Deans Council, providing a critical connection to the broader academic activities on campus and the development of more partnerships with Faculties and Schools. As part of this merger, the University Librarian will assume responsibility for all academic matters pertaining to Continuing Education and Adult Learner programs and will provide an academic home for the creation and delivery of certificate programming.鈥�

With the recent resignation of Mark Leggott effective February 8, 2016, Donald Moses will serve as interim University Librarian while a search process is established.

, Freshwater Coordinator of the Ecology Action Centre, will speak about her involvement with the development of a water policy in Nova Scotia, and lessons that might be applicable to Prince Edward Island. 

Each speaker will present for 15鈥�20 minutes. After a short break for refreshments, the speakers will reassemble for a panel discussion related to water issues on Prince Edward Island as it develops a Water Act. Questions will be taken from the audience.

Donations will be taken for , a non-governmental organization which works with communities in the developing world to provide clean water and improved sanitation.

A basket of local products is available as a door prize.
