Replacement of Cakile edentula with Cakile maritima in New South Wales and on Lord Howe Island
No full textTwo species of Cakile (Brassicaceae) have been introduced to Australia and the genus has been a common feature on the beaches of NSW for over 130 years; Cakile edentula has been present for at least 148 years (in NSW since about 1870), while Cakile maritima arrived approximately 114 years ago, (in NSW since about 1969). Collections at CANB and NSW confirm that since around 1970 plants more like Cakile maritima have almost entirely replaced Cakile edentula along the NSW coast. A similar phenomenon is reported for Lord Howe Island
'Pilings of Thought Under Spoken': The Poetry of Susan Howe, 1974-1993.
No full textPhDThis thesis discusses the poetry published by contemporary American poet Susan
Howe over a period of almost two decades. The dissertation is chiefly concerned with
articulating the relationship between poetic form, history, and authority in this body
of' work. Howe's poetry dredges the past for the linguistic effects of patriarchy,
colonialism and war. My reading of the work is an exploration of the ways in which a
disjunctive poetics can address such historical trauma. The poems, rather than
attempting to reinstate voices lifted from what Howe has called "the dark side of
history", are a means of reflecting the resistance that the past offers to contemporary
investigation. It is the effacement, and not the recovery, of history's victims, that is
discernible in the contours of these highly opaque texts. Notions of authority are most
often addressed in the poetry through the figure of paternal absence, which has a
threefold function in the work, serving to represent social authority, an aporetic
conception of divinity and an autobiographical narrative. Alongside the antiauthoritarian
currents in the writing - critiques, for example, of the doctrine of
Manifest Destiny or of scapegoating versions of femininity - my thesis stresses Howe's
engagement with negative theology and with a strain of American Protestant
enthusiasm that has its roots in 17th century New England. The dissertation explores
the dissonance caused by the co-existence in the poetry of elements of political dissent
and religious mysticism. Finally, I consider Howe's engagement with literary history
and authors such as Shakespeare, Swift, Thoreau and Melville. The manner in which
Howe deploys the words of others in her work, I argue, allows for a mixture of textual
polyphony and a more conventional notion of authorial 'voice'

Curriculum, Teaching and Learning Within the Context of Comparative, International and Development Education
No full textCurriculum, teaching and learning should include a component of Comparative, International and Development Education. It is increasingly important for teachers to foster global citizenship, international cooperation and cross-cultural understanding, within the dialectic of the global and the local. By reaching beyond the four walls of classrooms, teachers can gain broader, international perspectives and a deeper sociocultural understanding of curriculum, teaching and learning. Thus, enriching student experience and substantially improving teacher professional development. While there are many potentially significant cross-cultural lessons in teaching pedagogy, teachers have few opportunities. However, through educational exchanges and shared experience, teachers can become introduced to alternative forms of schooling and can learn to think more critically about traditional approaches to education. In this paper, I propose using Comparative, International and Development Education to enhance teacher education and situate my own cross-cultural experiences in curriculum, teaching and learning in Canada and Japan within this context.Not peer reviewedThe published version in the this article is available: Howe, E.

Dualidade de Howe para algumas super álgebras de Lie
No full textOrientador: Prof. Dr. Matheus Batagini BritoTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Setor de Ciências Exatas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Matemática. Defesa : Curitiba, 04/08/2023Inclui referênciasResumo: O objetivo deste trabalho é estudar a chamada Dualidade de Howe, que envolve ações comutantes para grupos de Lie clássicos e super álgebras de Lie. Essa teoria foi introduzida em 1976 por Roger Howe (1945-). Dado um super espaço vetorial U = U0 (produto tensorial) U1, Howe definiu a super álgebra A(U), dada por um quociente da álgebra tensorial T(U) pelas relações x (produto tensorial) u (produto tensorial) u (produto tensorial) x e w1 (produto tensorial) w2 + w2 (produto tensorial) w1, para x (produto tensorial) U0, w1, w2 (produto tensorial) U1 e u (produto tensorial) U. Ele considerou U como a representação natural de um grupo de Lie clássico G e A(U) como o G-módulo induzido. Howe também definiu operadores que agem em A(U), e geram a álgebra W(U), conhecida como álgebra de Weyl-Clifford. O foco deste trabalho é estudar a decomposição de A(U) em (G,W(U)G)-módulos. Pode-se identificar o conjunto de geradores de W(U)G com uma base para uma super álgebra de Lie g, explicitamente descrita dependendo de G e U. Em particular, W(U)G é um quociente da álgebra U(g) e (G, g) é chamado de par dual de Howe. Para finalizar, apresentaremos um caso particular da dualidade de Howe para o par dual de Howe (Ok(C), sl2).Abstract: The goal of this work is to study the so-called Howe duality, which involves commuting actions for classical Lie groups and Lie superalgebras. This theory was introduced in 1976, by Roger Howe (1945- ). Given a vector superspace U = U0 (tensorial algebra) U1, Howe defined the superalgebra A(U), defined as a quotient from the tensorial algebra by the relations x (tensorial algebra) u (tensorial algebra) u (tensorial algebra) x and w1 (tensorial algebra) w2 + w2 (tensorial algebra) w1, for x (tensorial algebra) U0, w1, w2 (tensorial algebra) U1 and u (tensorial algebra) U. He regarded U as a natural representation for some classical Lie group G and considered A(U) as the induced G-module. Howe also defined a family of operators that act on A(U) and generate the algebra W(U), known as the Weyl-Clifford algebra. This work focuses on the study of the decomposition of A(U) in (G,W(U)G)-modules. One can also identify the set of generators of W(U)G with a basis for a Lie superalgebra g, explicitly described depending on G and U. In particular, W(U)G is a quotient of U(g) and (G, g) is called a Howe dual pair. To finish our work, we will present a particular case of Howe duality which we considered the Howe dual pair (Ok(C), sl2)
Antimicrobial resistance in integrated agroecosystems: State of the science and future opportunities
No full textAs the Journal of Environmental Quality (JEQ) celebrates 50 years of publication, the division of environmental microbiology is one of the newest additions to the journal. During this time, significant advances in understanding of the interconnected microbial community and impact of the microbiome on natural and designed environmental systems have occurred. In this review, we highlight the intractable challenge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) on humans, animals, and the environment, with particular emphasis on the role of integrated agroecosystems and by highlighting contributions published in JEQ. From early studies of phenotypic resistance of indicator organisms in waters systems to current calls for integrating AMR assessment across “One Health,” publications in JEQ have advanced our understanding of AMR. As we reflect on the state of the science, we emphasize future opportunities. First, integration of phenotypic and molecular tools for assessing environmental spread of AMR and human health risk continues to be an urgent research need for a one health approach to AMR. Second, monitoring AMR levels in manure is recommended to understand inputs and potential spread through agroecosystems. Third, baseline knowledge of AMR levels is important to realize the impact of manure inputs on water quality and public health risk; this can be achieved through background monitoring or identifying the source-related genes or organisms. And finally, conservation practices designed to meet nutrient reduction goals should be explored for AMR reduction potential.This is the published version of the following article: Howe, Adina C., and Michelle L.
