Helping the disabled pupil select writing equipment
No full textJennifer Pascoe and her colleagues at Southampton Hospital have made a study of the handwriting difficulties experienced by pupils with physical disabilities. They review the range of ideas and aids available that facilitate pencil grip and support the hand. Although these findings relate to identifiable physical problems, readers will be aware that such advice is useful in relation to some very young children and to others sometimes described as ‘clumsy’ or ‘uncoordinated’

No full textHealth data linkage in Australia remains challenging1 as reflected in our recent experience of multi‐jurisdictional data linkage. We welcome the Population Health Research Network (PHRN) collaborative's initiatives in establishing a streamlined and unified application process in multi‐jurisdictional data linkage projects, and we fully support their vision. We acknowledge the concerns raised by Flack and Smith2 and take this opportunity to elaborate.Full Tex
Chalepistes rhesus Pascoe 1875, new combination
No full text20. Chalepistes rhesus (Pascoe, 1875) new combination Inophloeus rhesus Pascoe, 1875:220 Inophloeus longicornis Broun, 1904:113 new synonym Inophloeus medius Broun, 1893a:294 new synonym Inophloeus sulcicollis Broun, 1914:213 new synonym Inophloeus suturalis Broun, 1893b:1464 new synonym Broun considered that his nominal taxa differed from each other and from I. rhesus by size, breadth, rostral carinae, the degree to which the pronotal disc was uneven, and the prolongation of the sutural tubercle. These characters are all variable between individuals; and breadth and a prolonged sutural tubercle are sexual differences.Published as part of Brown, Samuel D.

Corrigendum: Health data linkage research in Australia remains challenging

In the ‘Data custodians’ section, the words, ‘and Queensland’ should be omitted from the sentence, ‘Conditional approval of data requests by the custodian is necessary before ethics submission in all jurisdictions, except in the Australian Capital Territory and Queensland where the data custodians will only review data requests after ethics approval.’
The sentence should thus read: ‘Conditional approval of data requests by the custodian is necessary before ethics submission in all jurisdictions, except in the Australian Capital Territory where the data custodians will only review data requests after ethics approval.’

Pascoe, 1872 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
No full textThe Australian trunk‐boring cycad weevils of the genera Demyrsus Pascoe, 1872 and Siraton Hustache, 1934 (Molytinae) are sometimes considered as cycad pests when they infest planted cycads and can be transported to other countries. In the present study, the taxonomy of Demyrsus and Siraton is reviewed, and four species are recognised: D. meleoides Pascoe, 1872, D. digmon sp. nov., S. internatus (Pascoe, 1870) and S. roei (Boheman, 1843). The discovery of a second species of Demyrsus illustrates a larger diversity of cycad‐associated weevils in Australia than currently known and identifies a further species with the potential to damage and kill cultivated cycads. The species descriptions and diagnoses are supplemented with illustrations of the habitus and salient structures, a distribution map and an identification key to all species of trunk‐boring cycad weevils in Australia. Their potential hosts are identified from a spatial analysis of their distributions and the distributions of the cycad taxa occurring in this range

Damping of kink waves by mode coupling. II. Parametric study and seismology
No full textContext: Recent observations of the corona reveal ubiquitous transverse velocity perturbations that undergo strong damping as they propagate. These can be understood in terms of propagating kink waves that undergo mode coupling in inhomogeneous regions. Aims: The use of these propagating waves as a seismological tool for the investigation of the solar corona depends upon an accurate understanding of how the mode coupling behaviour is determined by local plasma parameters. Our previous work suggests the exponential spatial damping profile provides a poor description of the behaviour of strongly damped kink waves. We aim to investigate the spatial damping profile in detail and provide a guide to the approximations most suitable for performing seismological inversions. Methods: We propose a general spatial damping profile based on analytical results that accounts for the initial Gaussian stage of damped kink waves as well as the asymptotic exponential stage considered by previous authors. The applicability of this profile is demonstrated by a full parametric study of the relevant physical parameters. The implication of this profile for seismological inversions is investigated. Results: The Gaussian damping profile is found to be most suitable for application as a seismological tool for observations of oscillations in loops with a low density contrast. This profile also provides accurate estimates for data in which only a few wavelengths or periods are observed.Peer reviewe
