I am 3rd generation Slavik-American. My grandfather and grandmother were from Livov (~10 Km) from Snakov. He arrived with 3 brothers and their father (Jakub Molcan). Brothers were Michael, Peter and Joseph. I'm not sure whether this Michael is the one you are referencing because I do not know where he lived his life in America. I understand that Jakub returned to Slovakia and never came back to America. My grandfather was Vasil Feczko. The name is currently spelled Fecko in Slovakia. I currently live west of Boston, Massachusetts and Sarasota, Florida. Drop a line and maybe we have a connection.

HYDRA is an open-source, platform-neutral library for performing Markov Chain Monte Carlo. It implements the logic of standard MCMC samplers within a framework designed to be easy to use and to extend while allowing integration with other software tools. HYDRA provides methods for implementing MCMC samplers using Metropolis, Metropolis-Hastings, Gibbs methods. In addition, it provides classes implementing several unique adaptive and multiple chain/parallel MCMC methods. It was developed as part of my Ph.D. thesis work at the University of Washington. The Hydra package is available from: http://www.warnes.net/Hydra My thesis, which describes one of the adaptive MCMC algorithms and gives an tutorial on constructing MCMC samplers using the HYDRA library is available at http://www.warnes.net/MCMC -Greg Warnes -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-announce mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

Bennett Library LB7200 (7th Floor) Participants Morris Barer Scientific Director, Institute of Health Services and Policy Research Diane Finegood Scientific Director, Institute of Nutrition, Metabolism and Diabetes Bruce McManus Scientific Director, Institute of Circulatory and Respiratory Health The objectives will be to outline the new CIHR vision for the future of health research in Canada, to articulate the roles of the individual Institutes and their Scientific Directors, to describe the processes and time lines around which strategic initiatives are being developed by each of the Institutes, to introduce the Advisory Boards for the Institutes, and to communicate ways in which members of the research communities can benefit through their involvement with one or more Institutes, particularly during the evolution of strategic research agendas. Although intended largely for researchers who expect that their primary or secondary research affiliations will be with any of these three Institutes, this opportunity to meet and hear from the three B.C. CIHR Scientific Directors is open to all interested faculty, students and staff. If you are unsure about the range of research covered by these three Institutes, please refer to the CIHR website at www.cihr.ca For further information, please contact Jane Hood at 268-6696 or jhood@sfu.ca. Please note that Dr. Diane Finegood would be pleased to meet one-on-one with anyone who is unable to attend the session or who wishes to have a more extended discussion. If you have questions or concerns about CIHR and/or the Institute of Nutrition, Metabolism and Diabetes, please contact Dr. Finegood in the School of Kinesiology at 291-3319 or finegood@sfu.ca Bruce Clayman Vice-President, Research Simon Fraser University ====================================== SFU....Research Matters ======================== Bruce Clayman VP, Research SFU...Research Matters From Diane_Gibson@sfu.ca Fri Jan 19 08:39:40 2001 Received: from rm-rstar.sfu.ca (root@rm-rstar.sfu.ca [142.58.120.21]) by cs.sfu.ca (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id IAA20344 for ; Fri, 19 Jan 2001 08:39:30 -0800 (PST) Received: from [142.58.167.5] (gibson.deanarts.sfu.ca [142.58.167.5]) by rm-rstar.sfu.ca (8.10.1/8.10.1/SFU-5.0H) with ESMTP id f0JGdOi25176 for ; Fri, 19 Jan 2001 08:39:25 -0800 (PST) Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Sender: dgibson@popserver.sfu.ca Message-Id: In-Reply-To: References: Date: Fri, 19 Jan 2001 09:36:23 -0700 To: Brad McNeney From: Diane Gibson Subject: Re: Notice of Meeting Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Content-Length: 1225 Status: RO X-Status: X-Keywords: X-UID: 18303 Hi Brad, Peggy mailed them out yesterday.

It is of great importance to understand the effects these species have on various attributes of paper quality. This talk will focus on the mixture model, how to analyze the data and interpret the results from the analysis, model validation and show how ternary plots are used to describe the nature of the response surface.

The newsletter is available online as PDF file at http://cran.R-project.org/doc/Rnews and will propagate to the CRAN mirrors within the next days. R News will feature short to medium length articles covering topics that might be of interest to users or developers of R, including * Changes in R: new features of the latest release * Changes on CRAN: new add-on packages, manuals, binary distributions, mirrors, ... * Add-on packages: short introductions to or reviews of R extension packages * Programmer's Niche: nifty hints for programming in R (or S) * Applications: Examples of analyzing data with R The newsletter as a medium for communication intends to fill the gap between the R mailing lists and scientific journals: Compared with emails it is more persistent, one can cite articles in the newsletter and because the newsletter is edited it has better quality control. On the other hand, when compared to scientific journals, it is faster, less formal, and last but not least focused on R. As all of R, R News is a volunteer project. The editorial board currently consists of the R core development team plus Bill Venables. We really hope you will enjoy reading R News!

"An Application Of Mixture Experiments In Quality Control"

IAN BERCOVITZ
Dept. of Mathematics and Statistics, SFU

Abstract:
The pulp and paper industry relies heavily on the proportions of wood species used to make paper. It is of great importance to understand the effects these species have on various attributes of paper quality. This talk will focus on the mixture model, how to analyze the data and interpret the results from the analysis, model validation and show how ternary plots are used to describe the nature of the response surface.

As you know, Rob Ballantyne has requested an account number for your paying $2K in matching funds for purchasing CFI equipment which, I understand, will be "refunded" later. All of your start up funds were spent last year, as detailed below. I cannot make this a charge against your NSERC grant and then somehow "fiddle" the money back to the now empty start up account. My suggestion would be for you to explore whether $2,000 of your PRG grant could be used for this purpose. If it is not possible to use your PRG for equipment, then Rob will have to find these funds from another source, if possible. Please let both of us know as soon as possible.
