Computational aspects of accurately modelling salt advection beneath aquaculture ponds
No full textAquaculture is becoming an important primary industry in Australia and the Asian region. Environmental concerns are raised when above ground saline ponds are introduced over fresh groundwater. The flow field can be simply modelled using series solutions for the hydraulic potential. However, extracting the advection fronts and isochrones can be much more challenging, particularly when solutions are sought using a laptop or desktop computer. We present an efficient and accurate way to calculate the advection front and the isochrones for a realistic problem. These methods use the analytic nature of the flow field solution and are an efficient and accurate alternative to the traditional methods used.

RRS Discovery Cruise 351, 10-28 May 2010. The Extended Ellett Line 2010.
No full textThe Extended Ellett Line is a full-depth hydrographic section between Iceland, 60°N 20°W, Rockall and Scotland. The original Ellett Line across the Rockall Trough was first occupied in 1975 when measurements were attempted four times a year. In 1996 the line was extended to Iceland and occupied approximately annually. The data form a 35 year time-series of the oceanic conditions west of the British Isles.The section monitors the characteristics of the warm water inflow into the Nordic Seas and thence to the Arctic, and observes part of the returning cold water outflow with measurements of the Iceland-Scotland Overflow and the overflow of the Wyville-Thomson Ridge into the Rockall Trough.The 2010 occupation, RRS Discovery Cruise 351, was completed successfully with 48 CTD stations worked between the Iceland and Scotland shelf edges. Additionally, Line G, part of the SAMS observation network of the Scottish continental shelf was completed. Samples were taken for inorganic nutrients, iron and trace metals, bioluminescence and microscope analysis. Incubation experiments were performed to investigate the role of microzooplankton grazing and the speciation of iron, and to investigate the presence of dinoflagellate bioluminescence.In addition to the planned programme, sampling took place to investigate the extent of the fall out from the ash plume emitted by the Iceland volcano, Ejyafjallajokull, and its impact on the biogeochemistry and productivity of the upper ocean.A trial tow of SeaSoar and a short survey of the upper ocean over the Anton Dohrn seamount were successfully completed
Competences in Polish sign language and the ability to understand read text in G students / deaf students
No full textDotychczasowe badania wskazują na istnienie związku między umiejętnością czytania i kompetencjami w języku migowym u osób G/głuchych. Dane te dotyczą jednak tylko języków migowych, które intensywnie poddawano analizie naukowej (np. amerykańskiego języka migowego, ang. American Sign Language). Aktualnie w Polsce brakuje doniesień naukowych dotyczących kompetencji w języku migowym i w czytaniu uczniów G/głuchych. Z tego powodu w prezentowanych badaniach analizie poddano relację między Polskim Językiem Migowym (PJM) oraz rozumieniem czytanego tekstu w pisanej polszczyźnie. W badaniu wzięło udział 52 uczniów G/głuchych o prelingwalnym ubytku słuchu w stopniu znacznym lub głębokim z klas I–VI w specjalnych szkołach podstawowych dla dzieci i młodzieży niesłyszącej. Kompetencje w PJM-ie mierzono za pomocą Testu Rozumienia Gramatyki Polskiego Języka Migowego, a rozumienie czytanego tekstu za pomocą testu Czytanie Marii Grzywak-Kaczyńskiej. Hierarchiczna analiza regresji wielozmiennowej wykazała, że kompetencje w PJM-ie są zmienną wyjaśniającą poziom rozumienia czytanego tekstu (w modelu pierwszą zmienną wyjaśniającą był wiek). Wykazano zatem, że kompetencje w PJM-ie mają znaczenie dla nauki czytania w języku polskim u uczniów G/głuchych. Uzyskane wyniki są ważne dla praktyki surdopedagogicznej: zwracają uwagę na potrzebę podnoszenia kompetencji w języku migowym oraz wykorzystywania języka migowego w procesie uczenia się czytania i kształtowania tej umiejętności.Research to date indicates a relationship between reading skills and sign language competences in G people / deaf people. These data, however, only apply to sign languages that have undergone extensive scientific analysis (e.g. American Sign Language). Currently, there are no scientific reports in Poland regarding competences in sign language and in reading in G students / deaf students. For this reason, the present study analyses the relationship between Polish Sign Language (PSL) and understanding of the text read in written Polish. The study involved 52 G students / deaf students with prelingual hearing loss in severe or profound grades I-VI in special primary schools for deaf children and adolescents. Competences at PSL were measured using the Polish Sign Language Grammar Comprehension Test, and comprehension of the text read was tested using the Reading test by Maria Grzywak-Kaczyńska. Hierarchical analysis of multivariate regression showed that competences in PSL are a variable explaining the level of understanding of the read text (in the model the first explanatory the variable was age). Therefore, it has been demonstrated that competences in PSL are relevant to learning to read in Polish among G students / deaf students. The results obtained are important for surdopedagogical practice: they draw attention to the need to improve competences in sign language and to use sign language in the process of learning to read and develop this skill
The reception of W. Somerset Maugham's works
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão.Este trabalho objetiva estudar a posição do romancista inglês W. Somerset Maugham na literatura contemporânea de seu país. Se por um lado Maugham nunca foi definitivamente rotulado como um simples escritor de best-sellers, por outro lado nunca lhe foi atribuído o status de grande escritor. Ele se mantém numa espécie de posição ambígua na literatura inglesa. Reforçando essa situação há ainda o fato de que alguns de seus romances, embora tenham sido tão populares, na época de seu lançamento, quanto os modernos best-sellers têm experimentado uma duração que não é usual nesse tipo de literatura. Ao analisar a recepção crítica de seis de seus romances, um de cada fase de sua carreira literária, baseado em alguns princípios da estética da recepção de Hans Robert Jauss, nós identificamos os elementos que foram especialmente relevantes na definição do status literário de Maugham. Além disso, conforme ainda é previsto na teoria de Jauss, nós também apontamos algumas mudanças de interesse nos estudos literários que indicam um ressurgimento e possivelmente uma reavaliação da obra de Maugham no futuro
Some Observations on the Construction of Space in the Prose of W. G. Sebald
No full textPierwodruk: „Białostockie Studia Literaturoznawcze” 2016, nr 8.This essay discusses the relationship between how space is constructed in the works of W. G. Sebald, and a fundamental characteristic of his texts, namely their hybridity. The author focuses, in particular, on the function of photography in Sebald’s narrations. Photographs, though themselves iconographic signs with strong referentiality, do not eliminate a strong textualization of space in Sebald’s works.Katedra Teorii Literatury, Uniwersytet Łódzki814115
Independent stratum formation on the avian sex chromosomes reveals inter-chromosomal gene conversion and predominance of purifying selection on the w chromosome
No full textWe used a comparative approach spanning three species and 90 million years to study the evolutionary history of the avian sex chromosomes. Using whole transcriptomes, we assembled the largest cross-species dataset of W-linked coding content to date. Our results show that recombination suppression in large portions of the avian sex chromosomes has evolved independently, and that long-term sex chromosome divergence is consistent with repeated and independent inversions spreading progressively to restrict recombination. In contrast, over short-term periods we observe heterogeneous and locus specific divergence. We also uncover four instances of gene conversion between both highly diverged and recently evolved gametologs, suggesting a complex mosaic of recombination suppression across the sex chromosomes. Lastly, evidence from 16 gametologs reveal that the W chromosome is evolving with a significant contribution of purifying selection, consistent with previous findings that W-linked genes play an important role in encoding sex-specific fitness.

The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author
