Testimonial: Wool production & biodiversity working together for Gordon & Jan Edmonds - 'Ponds Creek'
No full textGordon Edmonds grew up at 'Ponds Creek' and he and his wife Jan took over management from Gordon's parents in the late 1980s. The Edmonds have revegetated 15% of 'Ponds Creek; and intend to increase this to 20-25% as part of their farm re-development plan. They have established 34 revegetation sites, planted more than 20 000 seedlings and direct seeded 50 km of trees and shrubs. This testimonial describes how they restore biodiversity, repair gully erosion, drought-proof their property, subdivide their country for better grazing management, ensure there is adequate shelter and water in each new paddock, and achieve market premiums for their livestock

Treasure Island Pedagogies - Episode 20 - the one with the kettle and the mug
No full textTreasure Island Pedagogies Series: In this series, 3-4 guests share what they would take to their Treasure Islands: a lightbulb moment (when you feel your students 'are getting it'), a teaching prop or a pedagogy, and a luxury item.
In Episode 20, in addition to lightbulb moments, treasure island pedagogies/props and luxury items, our islands have included adjusting our teaching to work-based learning, the importance of tea breaks in the staff room...

Generative Systems Art: the Work of Ernest Edmonds
No full textIn this book, the author explores the history of pioneering computer art and its contribution to art history by way of examining Ernest Edmonds’ art from the late 1960s to the present day. Edmonds’ inventions of new concepts, tools and forms of art, along with his close involvement with the communities of computer artists, Systems artists and computer technologists, provide the context for discussion of the origins and implications of the relationship between art and technology. Drawing on interviews with Edmonds and primary research in archives of his work, the book offers a new contribution to the history of the development of digital art and places Edmonds’ work in the context of contemporary art history
Ornate box turtle (Terrapene ornata) demography in northern Illinois
No full textDemographic studies of wildlife populations are needed to guide management decisions for threatened species. Without data on population vital rates, decisions are often speculative and based on general information about a species rather than at the population level. The Ornate Box Turtle (Terrapene ornata) is a threatened species in Illinois and lacks essential demographic data. Over the last two centuries, nearly all Illinois prairie has been converted to agriculture, and consequently, Ornate Box Turtles are now confined to small isolated habitat fragments. Despite their threatened status and patchy Illinois distribution, we understand little about the demography of remaining populations. I collected population vital rates and projected persistence for two Ornate Box Turtle populations in northern Illinois. I estimated reproductive output by radiographing female turtles, and of the 70 females radiographed, 28 had visible eggs. Clutch size ranged from 1 to 6 eggs, with a mean of 2.53 at Ayers Sand Prairie and 4.20 at Nachusa Grasslands. To estimate annual survival, I conducted capture-mark-recapture surveys. Annual apparent survival was 0.970 at Ayers Sand Prairie and 0.860 at Nachusa Grasslands. Matrix population models showed the Ayers Sand Prairie population as stable, whereas the Nachusa Grasslands population was in decline. Population growth was most sensitive to adult survival. My results highlight the importance of long-term demographic studies for threatened species and show protecting adult female Ornate Box Turtles is critical for ensuring populations continue to persist in Illinois.Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'.

Long term modeling of the links between economics, technical progress and environment: Evolution of approaches and new trends
No full textThis paper examines the evolution of modeling on greenhouse as emissions. The paper briefly highlights the origins and early efforts to model greenhouse gas emissions, efforts subsequent to 1988, and the shape of the next generation of greenhouse gas emissions models. Particular emphasis is placed on the author`s own contributions, including the Edmonds-Reilly Model and the second generation model

A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON CHINA TRADE GROWTH: APPLICATION OF A NEW INDEX OF BILATERAL TRADE INTENSITY
No full textThis paper analyzes China’s trade relationships using a new trade intensity index, which incorporates gravity model estimation, to compare observed trade levels with levels would be expected to prevail given the economic, geographic, and cultural characteristics of the trading partners. The index is calculated to study China’s bilateral trade intensity, and uses Japan as a comparative case. Standard trade intensity index measures suggest China trades at a very intensive level with countries in East and Southeast Asia (ESA) and at a low level with countries in Europe (EU) and US-Canada (USC). The gravity model based index indicates that China’s level of trade with countries in the ESA region is consistent with levels that would be expected given the countries’ characteristics, while China’s level of trade with EU and USC are greater than one would expect given their characteristics. The new index also reveals insights regarding the evolution of China’s trade partners during the years 1988-2005. The paper’s results suggest the gravity model adjusted trade intensity index can provide a useful analytical tool for identifying strategic or other deviations in trade levels.Gravity model, Trade Intensity Index, Bilateral Trade, China
