Replacement of Cakile edentula with Cakile maritima in New South Wales and on Lord Howe Island
No full textTwo species of Cakile (Brassicaceae) have been introduced to Australia and the genus has been a common feature on the beaches of NSW for over 130 years; Cakile edentula has been present for at least 148 years (in NSW since about 1870), while Cakile maritima arrived approximately 114 years ago, (in NSW since about 1969). Collections at CANB and NSW confirm that since around 1970 plants more like Cakile maritima have almost entirely replaced Cakile edentula along the NSW coast. A similar phenomenon is reported for Lord Howe Island
'Pilings of Thought Under Spoken': The Poetry of Susan Howe, 1974-1993.
No full textPhDThis thesis discusses the poetry published by contemporary American poet Susan
Howe over a period of almost two decades. The dissertation is chiefly concerned with
articulating the relationship between poetic form, history, and authority in this body
of' work. Howe's poetry dredges the past for the linguistic effects of patriarchy,
colonialism and war. My reading of the work is an exploration of the ways in which a
disjunctive poetics can address such historical trauma. The poems, rather than
attempting to reinstate voices lifted from what Howe has called "the dark side of
history", are a means of reflecting the resistance that the past offers to contemporary
investigation. It is the effacement, and not the recovery, of history's victims, that is
discernible in the contours of these highly opaque texts. Notions of authority are most
often addressed in the poetry through the figure of paternal absence, which has a
threefold function in the work, serving to represent social authority, an aporetic
conception of divinity and an autobiographical narrative. Alongside the antiauthoritarian
currents in the writing - critiques, for example, of the doctrine of
Manifest Destiny or of scapegoating versions of femininity - my thesis stresses Howe's
engagement with negative theology and with a strain of American Protestant
enthusiasm that has its roots in 17th century New England. The dissertation explores
the dissonance caused by the co-existence in the poetry of elements of political dissent
and religious mysticism. Finally, I consider Howe's engagement with literary history
and authors such as Shakespeare, Swift, Thoreau and Melville. The manner in which
Howe deploys the words of others in her work, I argue, allows for a mixture of textual
polyphony and a more conventional notion of authorial 'voice'

Dropouts: The Achilles' Heel of Canada's High-School System
No full textThe high dropout rate among francophone Quebec students, particularly boys, has recently received considerable attention in that province. Media coverage has been extensive, indicating widespread public concern. However, the high-school dropout-rate problem is not restricted to Quebec. Based on the 2006 census, four provinces – Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland and Alberta – have higher dropout rates among those aged 20 to 24 than do Quebec francophones.social policy, high school dropout rate
Dungeons, gratings, and black rooms: A defense of double-anchoring theory and a reply to Howe et al. (2007)
No full textThe double-anchoring theory of lightness (P. Bressan, 2006b) assumes that any given region belongs to
a set of frameworks, created by Gestalt grouping principles, and receives a provisional lightness within
each of them; the region’s final lightness is a weighted average of all these values. In their critique,
P. D. L. Howe, H. Sagreiya, D. L. Curtis, C. Zheng, and M. S. Livingstone (2007) (a) show that the
target’s lightness in the dungeon illusion (P. Bressan, 2001) and in White’s effect is not primarily
determined by the region with which the target is perceived to group and (b) claim that this is a challenge
to the theory. The author argues that Howe et al. misinterpret grouping for lightness by equating it with
grouping for object formation and by ignoring that lightness is determined by frameworks’ weights and
not by what appears to group with what. The author shows that Howe et al.’s empirical findings, together
with those on grating induction and all-black rooms that they cite as problematic, actually corroborate,
rather than falsify, the double-anchoring theory

Change is in the Cards: Competition in the Canadian Debit Card Market
No full textAs new entrants arrive in Canada’s debit card market, rule changes are needed to ensure a level playing field, and to enhance the potential benefits of competition for consumers and merchants. In a study released today, the author assesses the implications of the rapidly changing debit payment landscape. Bergevin makes recommendations for action to ensure that consumers and merchants are protected and that the system can evolve to serve them even better.financial services, debit card market, VISA, MasterCard, Interac
Categorified skew Howe duality and comparison of knot homologies
No full textIn this paper, we show an isomorphism of homological knot invariants categorifying the Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants for sl(n). Over the past decade, such invariants have been constructed in a variety of different ways, using matrix factorizations, category O, affine Grassmannians, and diagrammatic categorifications of tensor products.
While the definitions of these theories are quite different, there is a key commonality between them which makes it possible to prove that they are all isomorphic: they arise from a skew Howe dual action of gl(l) for some l. In this paper, we show that the construction of knot homology based on categorifying tensor products (from earlier work of the second author) fits into this framework, and thus agrees with other such homologies, such as Khovanov-Rozansky homology. We accomplish this by categorifying the action of gl(l) x gl(n) on Lambda(P)(C-l circle times C-n) using diagrammatic bimodules. In this action, the functors corresponding to gl(l) and gl(n) are quite different in nature, but they will switch roles under Koszul duality.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
What is the Ideal Monetary Policy Regime? Improving the Bank of Canada's Inflation-targeting Program
No full textThe recent financial crisis has emphasized the role of sound monetary policy for ensuring Canada’s future prosperity. Although much is right with the Bank of Canada’s inflation-targeting regime, improvements such as price-level targeting and closer attention to potential financial instability should be considered in the lead-up to the renewal of the program in 2011.monetary policy, central bank policy, inflation-targeting program
