The first draft of this book was written during the tenure of a Killam Resident Fellowship at the University of Calgary in the fall term, 2003. The author is grateful for the financial support that provided release from other duties in order to focus on this project. 

Special thanks are accorded to Dr Dana Eisler (University of Calgary), who not only prepared all the structural drawings, figures and schemes, but also diligently proof-read the penultimate version of the manuscript. Professor Richard Oakley provided the idea and created the graphics for the design on the cover page. This representation of...

Stable isotope analyses of the organic fraction of bone and of food samples was carried out on a Micromass Prism Mass Spectrometer in the Stable Isotope Laboratory, Department of Physics, University of Calgary, under the direction of H.R. Krouse. Collagen samples were combusted in a Carlo Erba gas analyser which provides information on the carbon and nitrogen content of the samples andintroduces Nior CO gases into the mass spectrometer for analysis of nitrogen or carbon stable isotopes, respectively. 

Raw foods were freeze-dried and analyzed for carbon isotopes using mass spectrometry. Cooked foods were prepared following historic recipes, then were freeze-dried prior to analysis. For the trace element analysis, foods (both raw and cooked) were wet ashed using nitric acid in Teflon lined pressure vessels and digested in a CEM Microwave oven. Analysis of Sr, Zn, Fe, Ca and Mg was performed using Atomic Absorption Spectrometry in the Department of Geology, University of Calgary. 

Nineteen bone samples were prepared for analysis of the trace elements strontium (Sr), rubidium (Rb), and zinc (Zn). The outer surface of each bone was removed with an aluminum oxide sanding wheel attached to a Dremel tool and the bone was soaked overnight in a weak acetic acid solution (Krueger and Sullivan 1984, Price et al. 1992). After rinsing to neutrality, the bone was dried then crushed in a mill. Bone powder was dry ashed in a muffle furnace at 700°C for 18 hours. Bone ash was pressed into pellets for analysis by x-ray fluorescence spectrometry. Analyses were carried out in the Department of Geology, University of Calgary.

We gratefully acknowledge support from the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, The L.S.B. Leakey Foundation and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada who provided financial support for the seminar. Our institutions, the Department of Archaeology, University of Calgary and the Department of Anthropology, University of Illinois, also made contributions. Finally, we thank the contributors for their patience and their hard work. 

At the Pharmaceutical Production Research Facility of the University of Calgary experimental data have been collected (Linardos, 1991) to investigate the effect of glucose to glutamine ratio on monoclonal antibody (anti-Lewish IgM) productivity in a chemostat and they are reproduced here in Tables 17.8, 17.9 and 17.10. Data are provided for a 5 1 (standard for cell culture media), 5 2 and 5 3 glucose to glutamine ratio in the feed. The dilution rate was kept constant at 0.45 d . 

In the laboratory of Professor R.G. Moore at the University of Calgary, kinetic data were obtained using bitumen samples of the North Bodo and Athabasca oil sands of northern Alberta. Low temperature oxidation data were taken at 50, 75, 100, 125 and 150"C whereas the high temperature thermal cracking data at 360, 397 and 420"C.

The Newton-Raphson procedure was used to find e satisfying F(e) = 0. Iterations began at high conversion and the derivative dF/de was found by numerical differentiation. Convergence was obtained in 5 iterations, with 10 critical point evaluations, in about 10 seconds. The computer used was the University of Calgary Honeywell HIS-Multics system. 

Today, Dr. Birss is a chemistry professor at the University of Calgary. Her research focuses on developing films to coat metal surfaces. Among other uses, these films can serve as protective barriers against corrosion, and as catalysts in fuel cells.
