A matter of tension┬áContracted to build a six-story addition to Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, Vanbots Construction is using cutting-edge technology to strengthen the entire structure to withstand seismic activity. Errol Dube explains to Gay Sutton how this is being done. Any pedestrian walking down Murray Street or University Avenue in Toronto would be bound to see the construction work going on at Mount Sinai Hospital. Six new stories, some 150,000 square feet, are being built on top of the west tower, increasing its height from 14 to 20 floors.

Waste and┬áwetlands┬áThe heavily populated area to the east of Toronto has built a sewage system that is both fit for purpose and respectful of the residents and the natural scenery of Ontario, as John OÔÇÖHanlon discovers. The Greater Toronto Area has been growing massively since the 1960s and now has a population of 5.5 million, almost half of them born outside of Canada. And in turn, half of these immigrants have come to Canada in the last 15 years.

David Lengacher explains the value of simulation to business leaders in determining the outcome of emergent behavior from tiny interactions of multiple ÔÇ£agentsÔÇØ in complex processes. In last monthÔÇÖs issue, I talked about the value that simulation can provide to managers who are responsible for overseeing operations of complex processes.
