Fitzwilliam Museum McClean Bequest
No full textFrank McClean (1837–1904) was not only an astronomer and pioneer of objective prism spectrography, but also an accomplished and systematic collector of art, books and manuscripts. McClean's collections, which were left to the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, on his death, were at that time the most notable bequest since the Museum's foundation. The fifteenth- and sixteenth-century printed books in his bequest, most of them produced in continental Europe, are described here in detail, with bibliographical descriptions and information on their provenance. Illustrated books are listed separately. The author of the catalogue, Charles Edward Sayle (1864–1924) was an erudite and popular librarian whose career was devoted to cataloguing and editing rare books in the University of Cambridge. His obituary praised him as 'a fine example of the type of man who likes to catalogue things in the right order'.</jats:p

Strong inference from transect sign surveys : combining spatial autocorrelation and misclassification occupancy models to quantify the detectability of a recovering carnivore
No full textAcknowledgements We are very grateful for the input provided by Elizabeth Croose, Declan O'Mahony and Denise O'Meara on pine marten survey methodology and related constraints, which we hope this paper will go some way toward relieving. Christopher Sutherland was incredibly helpful in discussion of occupancy modelling techniques. We would also like to thank Thys Simpson, Colin McClean and Shaila Rao for arranging access to private estates for surveying.

An examination of managers' perceptions of turnover and retention in the hotel industry: Are hotel managers doing enough to address the issue of turnover?
No full textHotel employees leave their jobs at an alarming rate. Amongst those that leave are individuals who possess the talent and ability to become the hotel leaders of the future. With alarming levels of employee turnover, it is important to question what action managers in the industry are taking to curb the trend.
An examination of the employee turnover literature showed that the hotel industry is suffering from high levels of turnover. Whilst the literature offers a comprehensive account of the existence of high employee turnover in the hotel industry, little is known of the measures hotel managers are taking to counter this issue. Hotel managers hold great responsibility in addressing employee turnover as their policies and practices have an important impact on employee turnover. Therefore, a problem exists in a lack of understanding of managers’ perceptions of employee turnover and their efforts to address high employee turnover. Without an understanding of management practices and perceptions, we are unable to accurately predict the future state of employee turnover in the hotel industry.
Two steps were taken in this research to address a lack of understanding relating to hotel managers’ views of employee turnover. A comprehensive literature review was undertaken, and hotel managers who shared an average of 10.5 years experience in the hotel industry completed a total of 15 questionnaires. The questionnaires were analysed to draw out the perceptions of managers and to offer insight as to how hotel managers are countering high levels of employee turnover. The questionnaires were analysed in relation to the findings of the literature review. From that analysis a number of observations were made that offer insight into the perceptions and performance of managers in the hotel industry.
The following key points emerged from the research. Firstly, the participants indicated that issues related to pay are the primary cause of employee turnover. Secondly, the survey results suggested that while the participants are aware of the importance of pay in employee decisions to leave a hotel, they chose to focus their retention efforts on issues such as training, career advancement, and fostering open communication. Thirdly, despite expressing concern at the level of turnover in the hotel industry, the participants were divided on whether or not anything can be done to prevent it. Fourthly, the policies they supported, such as career tracking and career development, can be seen to encourage turnover rather than decrease it

Omission and commission errors in the field mapping of linear boundary features: implications for the interpretation of maps and organsiation of surveys
No full textPhase 1 mapping has been used widely in the UK as a method of resource inventory, and as an aid to conservation management and planning. Phase 1 maps may also provide baseline information for studies of land use change by future generations of landscape ecologists and historians. Contemporary assessments of their accuracy are essential to allow their value to be judged both now and decades hence. The accuracy of Phase 1 mapping of man-made linear boundary features was quantified by comparing maps drawn by six experienced field surveyors with a ground-truth version correctly showing all features. Overall errors within maps varied from 11.2% to 96.9% between surveys. Most of the error was caused by the omission of boundaries, rather than the misclassification of boundaries whose presence was recorded (i.e. errors of commission). The likelihood of a boundary being mapped was positively related to its length, and walls were more likely to be mapped than fences. Linear features can be mapped accurately, but reliance on the discretion of the surveyors, and their interpretation of the survey manual, resulted in variable practice and incomplete data in all cases. If data on linear features are not required, the time saved could be used to improve the accuracy of mapping other habitats (a concern identified in other studies). In addition to the provision of more explicit guidance to surveyors, the reporting of estimates of mapping accuracy and precision are identified as important aspects of the survey technique which require greater attention than is currently the case.
