Diversity in leadership: Australian women, past and present
No full textThis book provides a new understanding of the historical and contemporary aspects of Indigenous and non-Indigenous women’s leadership in a range of local, national and international contexts.
Overview
While leadership is an over-used term today, how it is defined for women and the contexts in which it emerges remains elusive. Moreover, women are exhorted to exercise leadership, but occupying leadership positions has its challenges. Issues of access, acceptable behaviour and the development of skills to be successful leaders are just some of them.
Diversity in Leadership: Australian women, past and present provides a new understanding of the historical and contemporary aspects of Indigenous and non-Indigenous women’s leadership in a range of local, national and international contexts. It brings interdisciplinary expertise to the topic from leading scholars in a range of fields and diverse backgrounds. The aims of the essays in the collection document the extent and diverse nature of women’s social and political leadership across various pursuits and endeavours within democratic political structures
Tidal forces intensify tremor-and-slip events in Cascadia subduction zone
No full textIn recent years, geoscientists have detected 'slow-motion' earthquakes deep beneath Western Washington and British Columbia. These quakes, called episodic tremor-and-slip events, occur about every 14 months, last for two to three weeks and are apparently associated with movement along the Cascadia subduction zone. Though powerful, they are not felt and cause no damage. Researchers from the University of Washington and the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia in Italy have just published a paper reporting that these events are affected by the rise and fall of ocean tides. Dr. Justin Rubenstein, lead author of the paper, indicates that tidal pulses at approximately 12 hours and 24 to 25 hours seemed to coincide with tremor-and-slip events which were detected in 2004 and 2007. Seismic arrays monitoring these tremors recorded clear twice-a-day pulsing (likely from lunar tidal stresses) and a pulse at 24 t0 25 hours (likely from combined solar and lunar influences).

The PBS Policy: Some Properties and Their Proofs
No full textIn this report we analyze a configurable blind scheduler containing a continuous, tunable parameter. After the definition of this policy, we prove the property of no surprising interruption, the property of no permanent starvation, and two theorems about monotonicity of this policy. This technical report contains supplemental materials for the following publication: Hanhua Feng, Vishal Misra, and Dan Rubenstein, 'PBS: A unified priority-based scheduler', Proceedings of ACM SIGMETRICS '07, 2007
