About Us
-
The Centre for Menstrual Cycle and Ovulation Research (CeMCOR) was founded by Dr. Jerilynn C. Prior in May 2002. The Centre studies the physical and psychological causes and effects of ovulation disturbances on women’s overall health. CeMCOR publishes scientific results and disseminates information directly to women.
CeMCOR is a research centre supported by a local Community Advisory Council that brings community perspectives and energy to guide priorities. The volunteer members act as a reference group in the development and implementation of research and education projects.
CeMCOR is also supported by a Scientific Advisory Council of international researchers located in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Norway, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. The Scientific Advisory Council includes endocrinologists, epidemiologists, gynecologists, nutritionists, psychologists and sociologists.
Researchers with the Centre are documenting variations in the menstrual cycle and ovulation in the context of the lives of women of all ages. CeMCOR is analyzing the relationships of the menstrual cycle and ovulation changes with weight changes, metabolism changes, eating attitudes, breast maturation, bone physiology, premenstrual experiences and changes in the physiology of exercise, respiration, cardiovascular function and breast density and nodularity.
Although we welcome and are grateful for the support we receive from the private, public, and business sectors, CeMCOR is diligent about maintaining its integrity in accepting funds. Any funds received will be used only for reserach activities governed by CeMCOR and its research affiliates. Projects and research are completely independent of funding sources.

}Inline usage: just like elsewhere in this document, HTML elements like
emorcodecan be considered code, and marked up as such. - cite
- Used for defining a citation or reference to other information sources. Example cited text and usage: More information can be found in [ISO-0000]
del- Used for deleted or retracted text which still must remain on the page for some reason. Since the default style includes a strikethrough line, it's preferable to the
selement. Thedelelement also has adatetimeattribute which allows you to include a timestamp directly in the element. Example deleted text and usage: She boughttwofive pairs of shoes. - em
- Used for denoting emphasized text. In most instances where you'd want to italicize text (using the HTML element
ior otherwise) you should use theemelement instead. Notable exceptions are stylistic italicizing of proper titles, foreign languages, etc. where italicizing is used for differentiation instead of emphasis. In those cases, no proper HTML elements exist, so anielement or aspanelement with a custom class may be preferable. Example emphasized text and usage: You simply must try the negitoro maki! - ins
- Used for inserted text and counterpart to the
delelement. Likedel,inshas adatetimeattribute which allows you to include a timestamp directly in the element. Example inserted text and usage: She boughttwofive pairs of shoes. - kbd
- Used for text which should be typed by the user. Mainly useful for computer instructions. Example keyboard text and usage: Please press Enter to continue.
- strong
- Used for denoting stronger emphasis than the
emelement. In most instances where you'd want to bold text (using the HTML elementbor otherwise) you should use thestrongelement instead. Notable exceptions are stylistic bolding of examples, first occurences of names in an article, etc. where bolding is used for differentiation instead of emphasis. In those cases, no proper HTML elements exist, sobelement or aspanelement with a custom class may be preferable. Example strong text and usage: Don't stick nails in the electrical outlet. - var
- Used for variables within computer code snippets. Useful for technology-oriented sites, not so useful otherwise. Example code and usage: Add 5 to $result and recalculate.
Lists
Then there are the lists. ul denotes an unordered list (ie. a list of loose items that don't require numbering, or a bulleted list). ol denotes an ordered list, and various numbering schemes are available through the CSS (including 1,2,3... a,b,c... i,ii,iii... and so on). Each item within the ul or ol requires a surrounding <li> and </li> tag, to denote individual items within the list (as you may have guessed, li stands for list item).
Additionally, dl is another list type called a definition list. Instead of list items, the content of a dl consists of dt (Definition Term) and dd (Definition description) pairs. Though it may be called a "definition list", dl can apply to other scenarios where a parent/child relationship is applicable. For example, it may be used for marking up dialogues, with each dt naming a speaker, and each dd containing his or her words.
Example lists and usage:
- This is an unordered list.
- It has two items.
- This is an ordered list.
- It has two items.
- No, I lied, it has three.
- This is a term.
- This is the definition of that term, which both live in a
dl. - Here is another term.
- And it gets a definition too, which is this line.
- Here is term that shares a definition with the term below.
- Here is a defined term.
dtterms may stand on their own without an accompanyingdd, but in that case they share descriptions with the next availabledt. You may not have addwithout a parentdt.
