Collaboration in education: Lessons from Actor Network Theory
No full textThis chapter concerns the growing interest in networking and partnership in post compulsory education and training in the face of increased risk and uncertainty in the globalised context. Internationally, the sector is evolving in a context of globalisation, and now the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), where schools and other education, training and employment providers are facing increasing challenges in facilitating young people’s transitions to secure employment in the context of the risk society (Bauman, 1998; Beck,
1992). The chapter is theoretical but draws on empirical research undertaken in Victoria, Australia to illustrate its arguments around the insights into collaboration that can be
gained through the use of Actor Network Theory
Certain Identities Involving the General Kampé de Fériet Function and Srivastava’s General Triple Hypergeometric Series
No full textDue to the great success of hypergeometric functions of one variable, a number of hypergeometric functions of two or more variables have been introduced and explored. Among them, the Kampé de Fériet function and its generalizations have been actively researched and applied. The aim of this paper is to provide certain reduction, transformation and summation formulae for the general Kampé de Fériet function and Srivastava’s general triple hypergeometric series, where the parameters and the variables are suitably specified. The identities presented in the theorems and additional comparable outcomes are hoped to be supplied by the use of computer-aid programs, for example, Mathematica. Symmetry occurs naturally in p+1Fp, the Kampé de Fériet function and the Srivastava’s function F(3)[x,y,z], which are three of the most important functions discussed in this study
‘Experimentation in contact with the real’: networking with Deleuze & Guattari
No full textThis paper draws on data from an longitudinal case study of a Local Learning and Employment Network (LLEN) instituted by a state government in Victoria in the arena of post compulsory education and training to explore the possibilities of a new approach to thinking about networks, their formation and operation, one that is inspired by ‘A Thousand Plateaus’ (Deleuze & Guattari, 1987). Using a rhizomatic approach my focus is on the middle — the plateau — a space that is made of lines moving in multiple directions. Looking at the middle disrupts taken-for-granted understandings and perceptions of linearity; it is in considering middles and plateaus that it is possible to move beyond a concern with joining-up ‘fixed’ entities within existing, and constrained, ways of knowing and, in the process, finding new ways of understanding and realizing the potential of a phenomenon that is ‘fast becoming a standard explanation of structure and action in both the public and private domain’(Considine, 2002)

Possible Jurassic age for part of Rakaia Terrane: implications for tectonic development of the Torlesse accretionary prism
No full textGreywacke sandstone and argillite beds comprising Rakaia Terrane (Torlesse Complex) in mid Canterbury, South Island, New Zealand, are widely regarded as Late Triassic (Norian) in age based on the occurrence of Torlessia trace fossils, Monotis, and other taxa. This paleontological age assignment is tested using published 40Ar/39Ar mica and U-Pb zircon ages for these rocks and published and new zircon fission track (FT) ages. The youngest U-Pb zircon ages in the Rakaia Terrane rocks in mid Canterbury are Norian, whereas 10-20% of the 40Ar/39Ar muscovite ages are younger than Norian. Numerical modelling of these mica ages shows that they cannot have originated from partial thermal overprinting in the Torlesse prism if the thermal maximum was short-lived and early in the prism history (210-190 Ma), as commonly inferred for these rocks. The young component of mica ages could, however, be explained by extended residence (200-100 Ma) at 265-290deg.C in the prism. Early Jurassic (c. 189 Ma) zircon FT ages for sandstone beds from Arthur's Pass, the Rakaia valley, and the Hermitage (Mt Cook) are interpreted not to have experienced maximum temperatures above 210deg.C, and therefore cannot have been reduced as a result of partial annealing in the Torlesse prism. This is based on identification of a fossil Cretaceous, zircon FT, partial annealing zone in low-grade schists to the west, and the characteristics of the age data. The Early Jurassic zircon FT ages and the young component of 40Ar/39Ar mica ages are regarded therefore as detrital ages reflecting cooling in the source area, and constrain the maximum depositional age of parts of the Rakaia Terrane in mid Canterbury. The zircon FT data also show the initiation (c. 100 Ma) of marked and widespread Late Cretaceous cooling of Rakaia Terrane throughout Canterbury, which is attributed to uplift and erosion of inboard parts of the Torlesse prism due to continuing subduction accretion at its toe.
The critical wedge concept is proposed as a new framework for investigating the development of the Torlesse Complex. The Rakaia Terrane may have formed the core of an accretionary wedge imbricated against the New Zealand margin during the Middle or Late Jurassic. Late Jurassic nonmarine sediments (e.g., Clent Hills Formation) accumulated upon the inner parts of the prism as it enlarged, emerged, and continued to be imbricated. Exhumation of Otago Schist from c. 135 Ma may mark the development of a balance (steady state) between sediments entering the prism at the toe and material exiting at the inboard margin. The enlargement of the area of exhumation to all of Canterbury from c. 100 Ma may reflect a dynamic response to widening of the prism through the accretion of Cretaceous sediments. The model of a dynamic critical wedge may help to explain the various expressions of the Rangitata Orogeny
Influence of grain structure and slip planarity on fatigue crack growth in low alloying artificially aged 2xxx aluminium alloys
No full textThe fatigue crack growth behaviour under constant amplitude loading of three low alloying artificially aged 2xxx aluminium alloys with distinct microstructures is analysed. Fatigue crack growth tests show a correlation between fatigue performance and the occurrence of crack closure. Fractography and fracture surface measurements show that rougher surfaces give higher closure levels suggesting a dominating influence of RICC in these alloys. The relationship between the crack path and the microstructure, i.e. grain structure and slip planarity, is assessed semi-quantitatively. A criterion to evaluate the propensity for slip band formation is derived and reasonable correlation is found between the fatigue fracture behaviour of the three alloys and this criterion. <br/
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Noordlaren-Hoge Kamp en Midlaren-De Bloemert-West
No full textDit rapport beschrijft de resultaten van het archeologische inventariserende veldonderzoek (proefsleuven) op de akkers Hoge Kamp te Noordlaren (gemeente Haren, Groningen) en De Bloemert-West te Midlaren (gemeente Tynaarlo, Drenthe). Beide terreinen grenzen aan de nederzetting Midlaren-de Bloemert uit de Romeinse tijd en de vroege middeleeuwen. Op de akker Noordlaren-Hoge Kamp werden nederzettingssporen uit de bronstijd, de late ijzertijd en de Romeinse tijd aangetroffen. Op de akker Midlaren-de Bloemert West werd een grafveld uit de late Romeinse tijd en de vroege middeleeuwen en een deel van een plattegrond van een breed gebouw uit de vroege middeleeuwen gevonden
