Audio Interview with Mr. C.J. Rayner Whiteley
No full textAudio - Mr. Whiteley recounts the story of delivering the message of the flood of 1904. He took seventeen hours by horse to travel from Perryvale to Edmonton. Billy Loutit took the same message by foot arriving in Edmonton about the same time. Mr. Whiteley discusses early settlers, farming, homesteading and businesses. He has many anecdotes about life and people living in Athabasca at the start of the twentieth century. He freighted for ten years with the Hudson's Bay Company and also discusses early farming prices and technology extensivelyInformative Interview of Mr. C.J. Raymor Whitely In April 1961 on a Reel to Reel tape recorded onto cassette by R. Tanhas March 198

Scanning Kerr microscopy study of current induced switching in Ta/CoFeB/MgO films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy
No full textThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from AIP Publishing via the DOI in this recordTa/CoFeB/MgO trilayers with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy are expected to play a key role in the next
generation of current and electric field switched memory and logic devices. In this study, we combine scanning
Kerr microscopy with electrical transport measurements to gain insight into the underlying mechanisms of
current-induced switching within such devices.We find switching to be a stochastic, domain-wall-driven process,
the speed of which is strongly dependent on the switching current. Kerr imaging shows domain nucleation at
one edge of the device, which modeling reveals is likely assisted by the out-of-plane component of the Oersted
field. Further domain growth, leading to magnetization reversal, may still be dominated by spin torques, but the
Oersted field provides an additional mechanism with which to control the switching process.University of ExeterInstitute for Nanoelectronics Discovery and Exploration (INDEX)National Science Foundatio
The Actors' Perceptions and Expectations of their Roles in BIM-based Collaboration
No full textThe inter-organisational collaboration with Building Information Modelling (BIM) is one of the hottest topics in construction sector nowadays. The implementation of BIM is a complex inter-organisational process, and the sharing of information among numerous actors from multi-disciplinary backgrounds may affect the actors’ role perception and performance. This study offers insights into the BIM roles of various actors by analysing a BIM-based project carried out by an integrated partnership across many tiers. The analysis identified inconsistencies between the actors' perceptions and their partners’ expectations of their BIM roles. Inconsistencies in BIM roles were more related to soft rather than hard (domain- or technical) skills. Mismatches were found in the architect's role, as it was deemed necessary to be more domain- and BIM-related, contrary to their perceptions. Likewise, the suppliers' role called for an enhanced BIM orientation. The paper concludes with set of suggestions for increasing the joint responsibility and supporting the multi-actor collaboration.Design & Construction ManagementSustainable Housing Transformatio
Labour Standards as a Justification for Trade Barriers: Consumer Concerns, Protectionism and the Evidence
No full textIn this article, justifications by producers (economic protectionism), consumers and social advocates (humanitarian motives) for including labour standards in international trade agreements are discussed. To date, little work has been undertaken to determine empirically whether low labour standards lead to trade distortions. This article provides some empirical evidence pertaining to this question. Consumer groups, social advocates and traditional vested interests such as labour unions have attempted to have labour standards included in WTO disciplines. In the absence of success at the WTO, the relationship between labour standards and international trade has, however, been evolving in the areas of private standards and preferential trade agreements. Given the leading role that preferential trade agreements sometimes take in establishing future directions in multilateral trade agreements and the increasing dissatisfaction with the WTO’s treatment of consumer issues in general, in the future labour standards may well work their way into multilateral trade agreements. The empirical results show that low labour standards could potentially lead to trade distortions, but more empirical work is required before a legitimate case might be made to have labour standards considered in multilateral trade negotiations.consumers, food processing, labour standards, preferential trade agreements, trade distortion, Consumer/Household Economics, Crop Production/Industries, International Relations/Trade, Labor and Human Capital,
Accelerometry assessed sedentary behaviour and physical activity levels during the segmented school day in 10 to 14 year old children
No full texthe school day offers several different time periods that provide varying opportunities for sedentary time (SED) and engagement in physical activity (PA), yet little is known about the PA and sedentary behaviour patterns of boys and girls during these times. The volume, intensity and temporal distributions of SED and PA undertaken by 135 schoolchildren aged 10-14 years, during different segments of the school day: (a) school transport, (b) morning recess, (c) lunch break, (d) class time and (e) after school, were explored using triaxial accelerometry. PA was categorised into SED, light PA (LPA), moderate PA (MPA) and vigorous PA (VPA). Girls engaged in significantly more SED and LPA than boys during recess and lunch break (p < 0.05), while boys engaged in significantly higher levels of VPA during recess (p < 0.001) and MPA and VPA during lunch break (p < 0.001). PA engagement was similar between sexes during other segments of the day. CONCLUSION: PA patterns appear more beneficial for health in boys during less structured school-based time periods and interventions may therefore target opportunities for girls to be physically active during these times to overcome this observed sex deficit
Strange Fellah! Review of Philip Butterss, An Unsentimental Bloke: The Life and Work of C.J. Dennis
No full textC.J. Dennis, author of The Songs of a Sentimental Bloke (1915), was once considered the unofficial poet laureate of Australia. Throughout his career he was erroneously conflated with his famous character 'the Bloke' in the public imagination. 'Many have imagined him as a sentimental bloke', argues Philip Butterss, 'an easygoing fellow with a naïve and slightly romantic view of the world'(1). Since three previous biographical works have the word 'sentimental' in the title, Butterss' decision to add the 'un' to 'sentimental' immediately signals his intention to examine the darker side of Dennis

The One, Two, Threes of Involuntary Bankruptcy: Creditor Numerosity in the Fifth Circuit
No full textIn The One, Two, Threes of Involuntary Bankruptcy: Creditor Numerosity in the Fifth Circuit, C.J. Baker examines how courts interpret and apply the creditor numerosity requirement under § 303(b) of the Bankruptcy Code in involuntary bankruptcy proceedings. The article focuses on the Fifth Circuit’s approach to determining how many qualified creditors must join an involuntary petition, particularly when disputes arise over counting eligible and disqualified creditors. Baker analyzes conflicting judicial interpretations and highlights the practical implications of these inconsistencies for creditors and debtors alike. The author critiques the Fifth Circuit’s reasoning in light of broader statutory and policy considerations, emphasizing the tension between procedural safeguards and creditor remedies. Ultimately, the article advocates for a more uniform and predictable standard to ensure fairness and efficiency in involuntary bankruptcy cases
