Introduction
No full text[Extract] In late 2009 people driving down one of Sydney's busiest roads, stopping when the lights turned red, could look up in the sky to see the Dalai Lama looking down at them from an oversized billboard on top of a building. Next to him stood the question: 'Our Future: Who is Responsible?' This was an advertising campaign carried by the Dalai Lama in Australia organization that was managing his teaching events and his participation in the annual 'Mind and Its Potential' conference in Australia. The campaign erected nine large billboards in key city sites for five weeks that stayed lit up all night. The same image also circulated on about 30 buses for the same period; smaller posters were put up in many cafes and on light poles and bus stops. This was the Dalai Lama's seventh visit to Australia; the first one had been in 1982. In an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald, Lynn Bain (general manager of the Dalai Lama in Australia organization) observed: 'You don't have to be Buddhist to connect to His Holiness is what we're trying to say' (Harvey 2009)

Gene trees for orthologous groups from "The evolution of nitrogen fixation in cyanobacteria"
No full textPhylogenetic trees for the orthologous groups predicted across 49 taxa of Cyanobacteria and 16 Proteobacteria by Latysheva et al. (2012, Bioinformatics 28:603-606; doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/bts008) are provided here. For the 13854 groups containing at least three protein sequences, phylogenies were reconstructed as follows. Multiple alignment of protein sequences was performed using MAFFT (Katoh and Toh 2008, doi:10.1093/bib/bbn013), in "E-INS-I" mode with 1000 iterations. A phylogenetic model was selected for each protein multiple alignment by the Bayesian Information Criterion in MODELGENERATOR (Keane et al. 2006, doi:10.1186/1471-2148-6-29), with four Gamma-distributed rate categories for "+G" models. 200 bootstrap replicates of the multiple alignment were generated using seqboot in the PHYLIP package (Felsenstein, J. Distributed by the author. Department of Genome Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle). Using the selected model, phylogeny was reconstructed by maximum likelihood with PhyML (Guindon et al. 2010, doi:10.1093/sysbio/syq010), both for the original alignment and for the bootstrap replicates.mltrees.zip: 13584 unrooted ML trees in PHYLIP format. The start of each filename gives the orthologous group number. Tip labels in trees consist of the protein accession, followed by an underscore, then the three-letter abbreviation for the taxon. Orthologous group numbers and taxon abbreviations are as in Latysheva et al. (2012, 10.1093/bioinformatics/bts008).

Software and skills for research computing in the UK
No full textSoftware and the people who produce it have revolutionised the way that research is conducted, pervading all aspects of the research lifecycle. These emerging tools and techniques require new skills and, often, new forms of research collaboration that combine a variety of professional capabilities. This report delivers a better understanding of the software and skills required in order for research computing in the UK to respond to the challenges it faces over the next five years across three overlapping levels: people, infrastructure, and policy.This study has been funded through the UKRI Digital Research Infrastructure programme, and will contribute to the development of national programmes. It was undertaken between December 2021 and August 2022 by the Software Sustainability Institute, with researchers based at the University of Edinburgh and the University of Southampton, in collaboration with Dr Michelle Barker
International perspectives and initiatives on "third spacers" - talk 2020 - Michelle Barker
No full textTalk given at “Third Space: The Depth”, an informal web event to explore the computational research support space in different institutions on 28 May 2020. This talk highlights OECD and other international initiatives supporting changes to university career paths and reward structures to recognise the emergence of new roles such as research software engineers and data stewards.
The event was co-organised by Melbourne Data Analytics Platform (MDAP) at the University of Melbourne, and Sydney Informatics Hub (SIH) at the University of Sydney. “Third space” is used to describe the workforce of data-intensive research enablers (and their landscape) situated somewhere between traditional academic and professional roles
Introduction
No full textThis chapter begins by detailing the history of Buddhism in Australia, and subsequently, Australia's relationship with Asia. This is followed by a discussion on how the policy of multicuralism has resulted in power inequalities between Anglo and Asian Buddhist Australians. This chapter ends with a discussion of the similarities and differences between Buddhism in Australia and the West
