Baroclinic adjustment in Drake Passage driven by tropical Pacific forcing
No full textThe time series of high-quality hydrographic measurements of the ACC in Drake Passage is revisited to investigate the extent of baroclinic adjustment in the region on time scales of up to two decades. We find that substantial adjustment of the upper kilometer of northern Drake Passage has occurred on interannual to decadal time scales, driven primarily by tropical Pacific forcing via the poleward propagation of boundary waves. The decadal-scale signal consists of a marked deepening of isopycnals (by ?200 m between the early 1990s and the late 2000s), and reflects ENSO-forced wind-driven baroclinic changes over an extensive region of the eastern South Pacific

Neurodiversity and Disability with Sally J. Pla
No full textJennifer Slagus and Josh Palange explore neurodiversity in children’s literature with special guest Sally J. Pla. The episode begins with Slagus and Palange defining neurodiversity and emphasizing the importance of representing these stories in children’s literature. Award-winning neurodivergent author, Sally J. Pla deepens the discussion by sharing her experiences writing books that feature neurodivergent characters. She highlights some of her projects, such as her neurodivergent book database, A Novel Mind, as well as upcoming titles. Pla also compares the approaches of U.S. and UK publishers toward publishing neurodivergent stories
Impaired Competence for Pretense in Children with Autism: Exploring Potential Cognitive Predictors.
No full textLack of pretense in children with autism has been explained by a number of theoretical explanations, including impaired mentalising, impaired response inhibition, and weak central coherence. This study aimed to empirically test each of these theories. Children with autism (n=60) were significantly impaired relative to controls (n=65) when interpreting pretense, thereby supporting a competence deficit hypothesis. They also showed impaired mentalising and response inhibition, but superior local processing indicating weak central coherence. Regression analyses revealed that mentalising significantly and independently predicted pretense. The results are interpreted as supporting the impaired mentalising theory and evidence against competing theories invoking impaired response inhibition or a local processing bias. The results of this study have important implications for treatment and intervention
Getting Published: Journey into a Relationship between Editor and Author
No full textLast year at the Inaugural TQR Conference, Sally and Dan conducted a workshop entitled Getting Published: Journey into an Editor\u27s Mind, highlighting what an editor thinks when she/he reviews a submitted manuscript to TQR. For the 2011 TQR Conference we will offer a variation of this presentation by including the voice of an author. Our workshop is entitled Getting Published: Journey into a Relationship between Editor and Author. In this workshop we will present a conversation between an author (Paige) and editor (Sally) to reveal an example of a relationship that develops between the two during the process of editorial review at TQR

Sally Moore Interview, July 19, 2024
No full textIn this interview, Sally Moore discusses meeting and eventually marrying philosopher Henry Bugbee. She talks about first meeting Bugbee when she attended a class he taught at what is now Chatham University. During this period Moore typed his book, The Inward Morning. After no contact for 24 years, Moore reached out to Bugbee. Though the relationship had been platonic, they start a long-distance relationship for the next three years and then are married. She mentions how he taught in Canada, his love of hiking mountains in Missoula, Montana, that he liked to entertain and that they welcomed unannounced visitors to their home. Moore discusses that Bugbee had a difficult childhood with a wealthy family that was not very close. And Moore talks about Bugbee’s Alzheimer’s illness and his eventual death.https://scholarworks.umt.edu/bugbee_interviews/1004/thumbnail.jp
