    Title: Petrology and Geochemistry of Ultramafic-Gabbroic Intrusions in the Abitibi Area, Ontario, Author: Neil D. MacRae, Location: ThodeA brief review of the general geology of the peridotite belt south of Lake Abitibi is presented. The petrography and geochemistry of each major intrusion is discussed in detail and mineral and element variation diagrams are drawn for a number of cross sections. The degree of differentiation of the initial magmas is discussed and illustrated by comparison with a hypothetical model. On the assumption that all ultramafic-gabbroic intrusions in the area are related, a model for the physical evolution of the assemblage is suggested. The criteria of classification of ultramafic rocks are examined with particular reference to the analysed rocks. In this relationship, a brief statement of the origin of basaltic magmas is presented.ThesisDoctor of Philosophy (PhD

    Facing the Future: the Changing Shape of Academic Skills Support at Bournemouth University

    No full text
    This paper explores the potential impact of changes to higher education in England on student expectations, engagement, lifestyles and diversity, and outlines implications for the development of digital literacy within academic skills support at Bournemouth University (BU). We will investigate how tackling resource constraints with organisational change can also enable efficient, centralised provision of support materials that utilise networks to overcome the risk of fragmented support for digital literacy. We will also look at how changing delivery modes for support can accommodate changing student lifestyles whilst tackling a weakness of centralised support for digital literacy: that it can become detached from the student’s subject-focused academic practice. Finally we will explore how involving students in developing support can help us to face changes to student expectations and engagement whilst ensuring that materials are authentic and speak to learners in their own voice

    Overview of Australian Indigenous health status

    No full text
    This paper provides information on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations, the context of Indigenous health, various measures of population health status, selected health conditions, and health risk factors. The main purpose of this report is to provide a comprehensive summary of the most recent indicators of the health of Indigenous people. It is beyond the scope of the Overview to analyse trends in the various indicators, so it tends to draw attention to the current health status of Australia\u27s Indigenous peoples. The report doesn\u27t attempt to review other aspects, such as the availability and use of services (including barriers to their use) and strategies and policies related to specific health topics. Readers interested in these aspects should refer to the topic-specific reviews that are available on the HealthInfoNet\u27s website. Research for the report involves the collection, collation, and analysis of a wide range of relevant information, including both published and unpublished material. Sources include government reports, particularly those produced by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW), the Australian Health Ministers Advisory Council (AHMAC), and the Steering Committee for the Review of Government Service Provision (SCRGSP).

    Maximizing Research Impact Through Institutional and National Open-Access Self-Archiving Mandates

    No full text
    No research institution can afford all the journals its researchers may need, so all articles are losing research impact (usage and citations). Articles made “Open Access,” (OA) by self-archiving them on the web are cited twice as much, but only 15% of articles are being spontaneously self-archived. The only institutions approaching 100% self-archiving are those that mandate it. Surveys show that 95% of authors will comply with a self-archiving mandate; the actual expe-rience of institutions with mandates has confirmed this. What institutions and funders need to mandate is that (1) immediately upon acceptance for publication, (2) the author’s final draft must be (3) deposited into the Institutional Repository. Only the depositing needs to be mandated; set-ting access privileges to the full-text as either OA or Restricted Access (RA) can be left up to the author. For articles published in the 93% of journals that have already endorsed self-archiving, access can be set as OA immediately; for the remaining 7%, authors can email the eprint in re-sponse to individual email requests automatically forwarded by the Repository
