This paper presents a comprehensive review of the new provisions for the design of coupled shear walls in Canadian seismic zones. It follows major revisions that were incorporated in the National Building Code of Canada 2005 (NBCC 2005) and in the Canadian standard Design of concrete structures (CSA A23.3-04), which were due, in particular, to the adoption of a new Canadian map of seismic risk. The present study is intended to address recurring confusions in current practice and the difficulties expressed in the application and interpretation of the new NBCC 2005 and CSA A23.3-04 provisions. A design flowchart is thus proposed as a practical guide, describing, step by step, the required verifications at each stage of coupled shear walls calculation. Finally, to demonstrate the applicability of these new provisions, a numerical example is detailed, following the presented design flowchart.

Abstract The purpose of this opinion article is to review the impact of the principles and technology of speech science on clinical practice in the area of craniofacial disorders. Current practice relative to (a) speech aerodynamic assessment, (b) computer-assisted single-word speech intelligibility testing, and (c) behavioral management of hypernasal resonance are reviewed. Future directions and/or refinement of each area are also identified. It is suggested that both challenging and rewarding times are in store for clinical researchers in craniofacial disorders.

The concept of client-centered therapy (Rogers, 1951) has influenced many professions to refocus their treatment of clients from assessment outcomes to the person who uses the information from this assessment. The term adopted for use in the professions of Communication Sciences and Disorders and encouraged by The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) is patient-centered care, with the goal of helping professions, like audiology, focus more centrally on the patient. The purpose of this paper is to examine some of the principles used in a patient-centered therapy approach first described by de Shazer (1985) named Solution-Focused Therapy and how these principles might apply to the practice of audiology. The basic assumption behind this model is that people are the agents of change and the professional is there to help guide and enable clients to make the change the client wants to make. This model then is focused on solutions, not on the problems. It is postulated that by using the assumptions in this model audiologists will be more effective in a shorter time than current practice may allow.
