AAC Technology, Autism, and the Empathic Turn
No full textAugmentative and Alternative Communication Technology [AAC Tech] is a relatively young, multidisciplinary field aimed at developing technologies for people who are unable to use their natural speaking voice due to congenital or acquired disability. In this paper, we take a look at the role of AAC Tech in promoting an ‘empathic turn’ in the perception of non-speaking autistic persons. By the empathic turn we mean the turn towards a recognition of non-speaking autistic people as persons whose ways of engaging the world and expressing themselves are indicative of psychologically rich and intrinsically meaningful experiential lives. We first identify two ways in which AAC Tech contributes positively to this development. We then discuss how AAC Tech can simultaneously undermine genuine empathic communication between autistic persons and typically developed communicators (or neurotypicals). To mitigate this concern, we suggest the AAC field should incorporate philosophical insights from Design for Emotions and enactive embodied cognitive science into its R&D practices. To make our proposal concrete, we home in on stimming as an autistic form of bodily expressivity that can play an important role in empathic communicative exchanges between autistic persons and neurotypicals and that could be facilitated in AAC Tech designed for autistic people.Ethics & Philosophy of TechnologyValues Technology and Innovatio
AAC Sorel Barley
No full text‘AAC Sorel’ is a spring, two-row, general purpose barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) released by the Ottawa Research and Development Centre, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. AAC Sorel is similar in yield to the check cultivars with very good lodging resistance and moderately susceptible to Fusarium head blight (caused by Fusarium graminearum Schwabe). AAC Sorel is recommended for barley growing areas in eastern Canada.The presentation of the authors' names and (or) special characters in the title of the pdf file of the accepted manuscript may differ slightly from what is displayed on the item page.

AAC Malcolm hulless barley
No full textAAC Malcolm is a hulless, six-row spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivar adapted to the growing conditions of eastern Canada. It was evaluated in the Ontario Barley Orthogonal Test (2018-2020) before being registered in Canada in 2023. AAC Malcolm is high in yield and good lodging resistance. AAC Malcolm is recommended for commercial production in eastern Canada.The presentation of the authors' names and (or) special characters in the title of the pdf file of the accepted manuscript may differ slightly from what is displayed on the item page.

AAC Stronghold durum wheat
No full textAAC Stronghold durum wheat [Triticum turgidum L. subsp. durum (Desf.) Husn.] is adapted to the durum production area of the Canadian prairies. Averaged over 3 yr, AAC Stronghold yielded significantly more grain than AC Navigator. AAC Stronghold had a protein concentration significantly less than Strongfield but significantly more than Brigade. AAC Stronghold had a plant height significantly shorter than Brigade, Strongfield, and AAC Cabri, with a lodging score significantly less than Strongfield and AAC Cabri. AAC Stronghold has a solid stem, which confers resistance to cutting by the wheat stem sawfly (Cephus cinctus Norton). AAC Stronghold had low grain cadmium concentration and stronger gluten than Strongfield. AAC Stronghold is eligible for grades of Canada Western Amber Durum.The accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.

AAC Cabri Durum Wheat
No full textAAC Cabri durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. subsp. durum (Desf.) Husn.) is adapted to the durum production area of the Canadian prairies. AAC Cabri has a solid stem that provides protection against the wheat stem sawfly (Cephus cinctus Norton). Averaged over four years, AAC Cabri yielded significantly more grain than Strongfield, AC Avonlea, and AC Navigator, but the protein concentration was significantly lower than the high protein concentration cultivars AC Avonlea and Strongfield. AAC Cabri is eligible for grades of Canada Western Amber Durum and has low grain cadmium concentration.The accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.

AAC Spitfire Durum Wheat
No full textAAC Spitfire durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. subsp. durum (Desf.) Husn.) is adapted to the durum production area of the Canadian prairies. Averaged over four years, AAC Spitfire yielded significantly more grain than Strongfield, AC Avonlea, and AC Navigator, but the protein concentration was significantly lower than AC Avonlea and Strongfield. AAC Spitfire had significantly shorter and stronger straw than Strongfield. AAC Spitfire is eligible for grades of Canada Western Amber Durum, and it has low grain cadmium concentration and higher yellow pigment concentration than the check cultivars.The accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.

AAC Walker Canada Western Red Spring Wheat
No full textAAC Walker (BW1116) is a hollow-stemmed, awned and high yielding Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat cultivar suited to the growing conditions of Western Canada. AAC Walker was 7% higher yielding than AAC Brandon and 5% higher yielding than AAC Viewfield in the Central Bread Wheat Cooperative (CBWC) registration trials (2020-2022). AAC Walker had maturity, height, and lodging similar to Carberry. It was 11 cm shorter than Unity. The test weight of AAC Walker was similar to AAC Brandon and 1000-kernel weight similar to AAC Viewfield. The grain protein content of AAC Walker was 0.6 units lower than AAC Brandon. AAC Walker expressed moderately resistant reaction to Fusarium head blight (FHB; Fusarium spp.) and common bunt [Tilletia caries (DC) Tul. C. Tul.]. AAC Walker was resistant to prevalent races of leaf rust (Puccinia triticina Erikss.), stem rust (Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks. E. Henn) and stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis Westend) prevalent in western Canada. AAC Walker was resistant to orange wheat blossom midge (OWBM) (Sitodiplosis mosellana Géhin). AAC Walker was deemed to fit the CWRS wheat class by the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) and registered with Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).The presentation of the authors' names and (or) special characters in the title of the pdf file of the accepted manuscript may differ slightly from what is displayed on the item page.
