“Once again text & parenthesis – sound synthesis with Foo”
No full textFoo is a sound synthesis tool based on the Scheme language, a clean and powerful Lisp dialect. Foo is used for high-quality non-realtime sound synthesis and-processing. By scripting Foo like a shell it is also a neat tool for implementing common tasks like soundfile conversion, resampling, multichannel extraction etc. Note: According to the talk at the Linux Audio Conference, this text will mainly cover the Foo kernel layer. This is because the main author of this text, Martin Rumori, is mostly involved with porting and developing the Foo kernel. Quotation from [5]: Whereas the Foo kernel layer implements the generic sound synthesis and processing modules as well as a patch description and execution language, the Foo control layer offers a symbolic interface to the kernel and implements musically salient control abstractions. Find out more about the Foo control layer in [4] and [5] and the Foo control layer’s source code at [1].

Module 3: Clinical issues
No full text[Extract] Different Asian cultures manifest mental distress differently, and in their appraisals and management of these manifestations (Foo, 2007). For example, a study by Ball, Mustafa, Moselle (1994) found that young Muslim adults coped with their problems through praying and control of emotions. Most Muslim patients would have visited their traditional healer before consulting a psychiatrist for their mental illness (Razali & Najib, 2000). With Indians, the exhibition of possession syndrome is a socially acceptable coping behaviour (Shobhadevi & Bidarakoppa, 1994). In Chinese and Vietnamese cultures, ghosts or spirits play a role in human dealings, and a person who experienced feelings of fear, anxiety or depression might assume that his or her home was haunted. The guidance from elders to children when they faced feelings of frustration or anxiety is simply "don't think about it", as thinking would lead to negative experiences of affect (Sue & Sue, 1999).
By and large, help-seeking behaviours of Asians are determined by their cultural causal beliefs of mental illness (Sheikh & Furnham, 2000). Furthermore, Asians tend to solve psychological problems preferably on their own, relying on family members, close relatives and friends, or traditional healing practices rather than with MHPs (Ngai, Latimer, & Cheung, 2000). Thus, given their cultural dispositions, Asian clients might be perceived by the Western therapist as dependent, unable to make decisions on their own, lacking in maturity and possibly repressed (Sue & Sue, 1999). Consequently, a lack of understanding of Asians may lead to myths, images and stereotypes

What are our international students telling us? Further explorations of a formative feedback intervention, to support academic literacy
No full textThis study reports on a further iteration of an action research cycle, discussed in Burns and Foo 2012, 2013). It explores how formative feedback on academic literacy was used and acted upon, and if a Formative Feedback Intervention (FFI) increased the students’ confidence in future assignments. It also considers whether the assignment of a grade was beneficial. Students were asked to give written reflections using Gibbs reflective model (1988) and later via a semi-structured questionnaire. In-depth interviews were also carried out to provide rich data. Findings suggest students are taking appropriate actions to close the gap (Sadler, 1989) in particular sharing with their peers. Feedback is reported to be an emotional experience; the grade assigned is highly valued and appears to be used for self-motivation. In addition, students raised the issue of the cultural adjustment they are making to bridge the gap between the teaching and learning of their home and new environment.

Foo: A Minimal Modern OO Calculus
No full textWe present the Flyweight Object-Oriented (Foo) calculus for the modeling of object-oriented languages. Foo is a simple, minimal class-based calculus, modeling only essential computational aspects and emphasizing larger-scale features (e.g., inheritance and generics). Foo is motivated by the observation that recent language design work focuses on elements not well-captured either by traditional object calculi or by language-specific modeling efforts, such as Featherweight Java. Foo integrates seamlessly both nominal and structural subtyping ideas, leveraging the latter to eliminate the need for modeling object fields and constructors. Comparing to recent formalization efforts in the literature, Foo is more compact, yet versatile enough to be usable in multiple settings modeling Java, C#, or Scala extensions
