Microbial Genomics Raw Sequence and Analysis Data
No full textWe aim to better understand the molecular mechanisms of infectious disease and identify potential therapeutic and diagnostic targets by exploiting next-generation genomic data. A major focus is the comparative analysis of genomes obtained from local clinical isolates (Brisbane & Australia) of important human pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococci, Streptococci, Legionella pneumophila and Acinetobacter baumannii. In particular we are interested in the evolution and mobility of genes encoding virulence factors that are widely conserved amongst bacterial pathogens (e.g., fimbriae, pili and type III and type IV secretion systems and secreted effectors). We have sequenced almost 1,000 bacterial genomes using a variety of different next-generation sequencing technologies (Illumina, SOLiD, 454, PacBio). This collection varies from just sequencing reads right through to annotated complete genomes that we have derived from the data

Citizen participation in news
No full textThe process of producing news has changed significantly due to the advent of the Web, which has enabled the increasing involvement of citizens in news production. This trend has been given many names, including participatory journalism, produsage, and crowd-sourced journalism, but these terms are ambiguous and have been applied inconsistently, making comparison of news systems difficult. In particular, it is problematic to distinguish the levels of citizen involvement, and therefore the extent to which news production has genuinely been opened up. In this paper we perform an analysis of 32 online news systems, comparing them in terms of how much power they give to citizens at each stage of the news production process. Our analysis reveals a diverse landscape of news systems and shows that they defy simplistic categorisation, but it also provides the means to compare different approaches in a systematic and meaningful way. We combine this with four case studies of individual stories to explore the ways that news stories can move and evolve across this landscape. Our conclusions are that online news systems are complex and interdependent, and that most do not involve citizens to the extent that the terms used to describe them imply
Bringing Hidden Organizations Out of the Shadows: Introduction to the Special Issue
No full textThis introduction to the special issue describes hidden organizations, offers several reasons for the lack of research on these collectives, and explains how this collection of articles helps move us forward in efforts to empirically study hidden organizations. After providing background information on the history of this special issue, the five articles published here are described in terms of the type of collective examined, the theories and methods used, and the key research questions addressed. Three observations about the published pieces are made: being hidden requires communicative effort; hiddenness is usefully understood in terms of identity management; and any discussion of hidden organizations raises ethical considerations. The piece closes with acknowledgements and a call for continued conceptual/theoretical and empirical research into hidden organizations.This is an introduction to a special issue on Hidden Organizations edited by the author.

Sherri Scott Interview
No full textSherri Scott (Class of 1999) was interviewed by Valeria Reynosa via the Zoom internet-based video conferencing software on March 19, 2021. Ms. Scott was born into a military family and lived in South Carolina, Spain, and California before her family relocated to Abilene, Texas when she was eleven years old. During her interview, she discusses her experiences growing up on various military bases and in Abilene. She talks about her love for literature, particularly the Texas author Larry McMurtry, and how the heroine of his book The Last Picture Show inspired her to attend SMU. While at SMU, she majored in Psychology with a minor in Journalism, and pledged to the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority. She also wrote for the Daily Campus and the Rotunda yearbook. She discusses the impact the AKA sorority had on her time at SMU, with particular regard to their community service events and outreach to the Black community in Dallas. Ms. Scott also talks about the mentors she had while at SMU and the friendships she formed, which have lasted well beyond her graduation date. After graduating in 1999, Ms. Scott worked as an associate editor at D Magazine, a production assistant in Wilmington, North Carolina, and editor-in-chief for a QSR magazine. She then began a career in public relations and marketing. At the time of the interview, she worked as as the Senior Vice President of Marketing for Public Broadcast Atlanta
A Development/Management Plan for Cape Scott Provincial Park
No full textThis project was undertaken in January, 1980, and was continued right through until its completion in April, 1981. During this time, a vast quantity of information was compiled, through literature, personal contact, and through personal experience. The entire summers of 1977 and 1980 were spent in the field at Cape Scott for the author to familiarize themselves with the park and to collect field data. Also during this period, a tremendous feeling for the needs of the public and the needs of the park were acquired. It is hoped that the following will provide a compromise between these two factors.Student paper for Wildland Recreation, Selkirk College.Wildland Recreatio

Thomas Scott letter to Governor William Dennison, September 23, 1861
No full textLetter dated September 23, 1861, from Thomas A. Scott, Acting Secretary of War with the United States War Department, to Ohio Governor William Dennison. Scott states that the War Department requests no troops hereafter furnished by Ohio for the military service be uniformed in gray, which is the color generally worn by soldiers of the Confederate Army. He indicates that the blue uniform adopted for the United States Army is recommended as readily distinguishable from the enemy.
Dennison served as Ohio governor from January 9, 1860, through January 13, 1862, and largely organized the mobilization of Ohio's military service during the first years of the Civil War. He was the namesake of Camp Dennison, a training camp and medical post for the Union Army between 1861 and 1865 located near Dennison's hometown of Cincinnati
