Ecological study of Barrett Domain, New Plymouth
No full textAn ecological survey of Barrett Domain (New Plymouth) was conducted by the Environmental Research Institute, University of Waikato, for the New Plymouth District Council. The main ecological features of the domain were mapped and described, preliminary ecological impact assessments of domain upgrades were conducted, and recommendations made for the future management of the site. Barrett Domain encompasses a regionally significant wetland habitat (Barrett Lake), several hectares of remnant semi-coastal forest and areas of well-established planted native species. Wetland vegetation around Barrett Lake comprised reedland (kuta, raupo) and flaxland, and the lake provides refuge to a number of indigenous water birds. Semi-coastal forest at the site was dominated by tawa, kohekohe and pukatea, with a diverse range of understory and epiphyte species. Planted natives included a significant kauri grove, and patches of pohutukawa and puriri. Swamp forest to the west of the lake comprised mature pukatea and swamp maire, and if acquired in the land transfer, the ecological value of the domain would be greatly enhanced. Four permanent i-Tree vegetation monitoring plots and a National Wetland Monitoring plot were established at the domain and should be re-measured at 5 yearly intervals. Any ecological impacts associated with the construction of a path around the perimeter of Barrett Lake could be offset by restoration planting at the southern lake margin. Management recommendations include:
• Restoration planting with appropriate native species at the southern lake margin and several other key areas within the domain.
• Removing/monitoring exotic species, including the gorse and grey willow on the lake margin, and wandering Jew and climbing asparagus in the forest remnants.
• Fencing (stock proofing) the swamp forest at the west of the lake once it is acquired.
• Continuing with pest control and monitoring.
• Obtaining new interpretive signage
A Critical Review Syd Barrett: A Very Irregular Head
No full textThis Literature Review contextualises the work I undertook for „Syd Barrett: A
Very Irregular Head,‟ (1) a 140,000 word biography based on the life of the
musician Syd Barrett, lead guitarist, vocalist, and principal songwriter in the
original line up of Pink Floyd. The book is based on two and a half years of
focussed research, carried out between January 1997 and August 2009.
During this time I interviewed family, friends, schoolmates, fellow college
students, musicians, artists, and admirers from every stage of Barrett‟s life,
from his earliest days growing up in Cambridge, through his period as an
active musician and pop star, to his final years as a reclusive and enigmatic
figure in his home town. However, these 65 interviews comprise only one
element of my research. In addition I utilised an extensive range of primary
and secondary source material, and the bibliography for the book runs to
some 49 texts. (See appendix.) I also drew upon significant audio and video
material including rare and hard to find television transmissions, and archive
and bootleg recordings, many of which are not in the public domain
Clara Barrett Strait Papers - Accession 653 - M288 (339)
No full textClara Barrett Strait (ca. 1867-1948) was one of the foremost portrait painters in South Carolina during the first half of the 20th century. The Clara Barrett Strait Collection consists of the manuscript, Clara Barrett-Strait: An Achievement and a newspaper clipping published in the State Magazine in 1985 about the artist, both written by former Winthrop professor Edwin S. James (1922-2011). Also included is a microcassette labeled “Clara Barrett Strait 1983” that includes a recording of Mr. James talking about Clara, and photographs and negatives of Clara Barrett Strait’s portraits, all of which were compiled by Edwin S.

Introduction : At the Intersection of Entrepreneurship and Human Resource Management
No full textIn recent years there has been a growing literature on human resource management (HRM) and smaller firms which has also encompassed firms that are growing and entrepreneurial. For example we have seen a special edition of Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice (Katz et al., 2000), two of Human Resource Management Review (Baron, 2003; Barrett and Mayson, 2006) and one of Human Resource Management (Huselid, 2003; Tansky and Heneman, 2003), with another of Human Resource Management (to be edited by Ribeiro, Roig and Tansky) scheduled for publication in 2010. In addition, symposia on the topic have been undertaken at the Academy of Management in 2005 (organized by Mayson) and in 2004 (organized by Hayton). Papers dealing with issues of HRM for new, small, growing and/or entrepreneurial firms have been presented at a range of different conferences, whether they are management oriented such as the Academy of Management (AoM) and its regional variants (for example, the British Academy of Management (BAM) or the Australian and New Zealand Academy of Management (ANZAM)), entrepreneurially focused ones like the Babson College Entrepreneurship Research conference or ones focused specifically on smaller firms such as the conferences of the Institute for Small Business and Entrepreneurship (ISBE) in the UK or the International Council for Small Business (ICSB) and its regional affiliates. With all these papers and all this discussion is there anything left to say? Well yes, we think there is and we are..
Computer-assisted histology for the diagnosis of Barrett s Esophagus
No full textS.171-172Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most com- mon and in the frequency increasing diseases in the western world. In- testinal metaplasia, or Barrett s Esophagus , is a precancerous conditi- on and complication of GERD. A large interobserver variation is known in histopathology of Barrett s Esophagus. Hence, it makes sense to sup- port pathologists with an automated pre-analysis of the images. Goal of this study is the evaluation of possibilities to differentiate three types of tissue automatically, namely Barrett s Esophagus (BE), normal cardiac mucosa (CA) and normal squamous epithelium of the esophagus (EP)
