A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words: Using Photo CD To Produce Extension Publications
No full textIOWA STATE UNIVERSITY HAS PUBLISHED A "crops and pests" newsletter for the agricultural community since 1961. The newsletter was published weekly during the growing season. Articles were contributed mostly by state extension entomologists, weed scientists, and plant pathologists. Occasionally, articles were written by agronomists and soil-fertility specialists. The newsletter was originally mimeographed and, more recently, photocopied onto plain paper. Sometimes it included line 'illustrations. As with many newsletters, it was a valuable source for current crop information and historical data.This article is published as Rice, Marlin E., and Wendy Wintersteen.

Identifying species and ecosystem sensitivities.
No full textExecutive Summary
The programme of work was commissioned in September 1998 to supply information to underpin the
UK’s commitments to protection and conservation of the ecosystems and biodiversity of the marine
environment under the 1992 OSPAR Convention on the Protection of the Marine Environment of the
North East Atlantic. The programme also provided support for the implementation of the Biodiversity
Convention and the EU Habitats Directive.
The MarLIN programme initiated a new approach to assessing sensitivity and recoverability characteristics
of seabed species and biotopes based on structures (such as the seabed biotopes classification) and criteria
(such as for assessing rarity and defining ‘sensitivity’) developed since 1997. It also developed tools to
disseminate the information on the Internet. The species researched were those that were listed in
conventions and directives, included in Biodiversity Action Plans, or were nationally rare or scarce. In
addition, species were researched if they maintained community composition or structure and/or provided
a distinctive habitat or were special to or especially abundant in a particular situation or biotope
At its conclusion in August 2001, the work carried out under the contract with DETR/DEFRA had:
· Developed protocols, criteria and structures for identifying ‘sensitivity’ and ‘recoverability’, which
were tested by a programme management group.
· Developed a database to hold research data on biology and sensitivity of species and biotopes.
· Defined the link between human activities and the environmental factors likely to be affected by those
activities.
· Developed a user-friendly Web site to access information from the database, on the sensitivity and
recoverability characteristics of over 100 species and basic information on over 200 species.
Additionally, the project team have:
· Brought together and facilitated discussion between current developers and users of electronic
resources for environmental management, protection and education in the conference ‘Using Marine
Biological Information in the Electronic Age’ (19-21 July 1999).
· Contributed to the development of Ecological Quality Objectives for the North Sea (Scheveningen, 11-
3 September 1999 and subsequent papers).
· Provided detailed information on species as a supplement to the National Biodiversity Network
Gateway demonstration www.searchnbn.net.
· Developed a peer-reviewed approach to electronic publication of updateable information.
· Promoted the contract results and the MarLIN approach to the support of marine environmental
management and protection at European research fora and, through the web site, internationally.
The information available through the Web site is now being used by consultants and Government
agencies. The DEFRA contract has been of critical importance in establishing the Marine Life Information
Network (MarLIN) programme and has encouraged support from other organisations. Other related work
in the MarLIN programme is on-going, especially to identify sensitivity of biotopes to support management
of SACs (contract from English Nature in collaboration with Scottish Natural Heritage), to access data
sources (in collaboration with the National Biodiversity Network) and to establish volunteer recording
schemes for marine life.
The results of the programme are best viewed on the Web site (www.marlin.ac.uk). Three reports have
been produced during the project. A final report detailing the work undertaken, a brochure ‘Identifying the
sensitivity of seabed ecosystems’ and a CD-ROM describing the programme and demonstrating the Web
site have been delivered as final products in addition to the Web site
Author Co-Citation Analysis (ACA): a powerful tool for representing implicit knowledge of scholar knowledge workers
No full textIn the last decade, knowledge has emerged as one of the most important and valuable organizational assets. Gradually this importance caused to emergence of new discipline entitled ―knowledge management‖. However one of the major challenges of knowledge management is conversion implicit or tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge. Thus Making knowledge visible so that it can be better accessed, discussed, valued or generally managed is a long-standing objective in knowledge management. Accordingly in this paper author co- citation analysis (ACA) will be proposed as an efficient technique of knowledge visualization in academia (Scholar knowledge workers)
Portfolio of recorded performances and exegesis: Messiaen’s musical language for the jazz pianist - an exploration through performance.
No full textMoving beyond Gunther Schuller’s Third Stream amalgamation of classical and jazz, this study explores whether the musical language of Olivier Messiaen can make a valid contribution to jazz piano performance. Initially, my project sought to answer such questions as: What elements of the musical language of Messiaen already exist in the jazz vocabulary? Am I able to extend this further? What are the timbral structures and pianistic effects within Messiaen’s musical language? What will be the most effective application of Messiaen’s musical language to jazz piano performance? Endeavouring to answer the final question led me to consider such aspects as whether the project should be limited to quoting Messiaen motifs, arranging Messiaen melodies, replacing jazz harmonic structures on standards with examples from Messiaen’s musical language or whether it would be better to approach the research conceptually. The work of Hubert Nuss provided encouraging reassurance that this was not an impossible task. In order to articulate this conception, the initial challenge was to decide how the classical and jazz worlds might meet in a ‘Messiaen’ technique. The approach adopted was similar to that used for undergraduate jazz study, namely, immersion in the piano scores and recordings of Messiaen’s music as well as by live performances. This was followed by the development and assessment of a contrived approach when specific techniques, such as tonal colourings or harmonic structures, were developed through prepared exercises and consciously included in my performance. It was then compared with an intuitive approach when no such precise parameters were established. This submission consists of CD recordings of two public recitals and an exegesis. It documents the development of this Messiaen technique and discusses its application in my performances. It also demonstrates the ways that Messiaen’s musical language can be used within jazz piano performance to provide a colour that distinguishes jazz piano performance in a competitive field.Thesis (M.Mus.) -- University of Adelaide, Elder Conservatorium of Music, 201
