Dr. Craig Kinsley – Faculty Author Interview
No full textDr. Craig Kinsley, Professor of Psychology and co-author of Clinical Neuroscience, discusses this unique textbook that integrates neurobiological mechanisms of general health into the coverage of mental disorders. By using this resource, instructors can easily integrate principles of neuroscience into clinical, developmental, behavioral, cognitive, and social psychology. The second edition of Clinical Neuroscience will be published in early 2010
Source Apportionment of the Air Quality on Sable Island
No full textAir pollution can have varying health and environmental impacts which are not limited to the point of release, making it important to identify and quantify sources of air pollution and their fate and transport globally. Most studies are conducted in urban areas with few studies taking place at sea or near oil and gas (O&G) production facilities, resulting in a paucity of data. This study aims to examine the different sources of air pollution affecting the air quality on Sable Island, a remote marine site, with the aim of better understanding the impacts of emissions from nearby offshore O&G activities and continental outflow. Air pollution data obtained from Sable Island between May 7th and October 30th of 2013 was used to perform statistical analysis, source apportionment, and meteorological analysis. The models used to identify and quantify sources of air pollution included the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) HYbrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory (HYSPLIT) model and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) model v 3.0.2.2. The air pollutants measured and their temporal resolution were non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs), black carbon (BC), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), mono-nitrogen oxides (NOx), nitrogen oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3), particulate matter with a median aerodynamic diamer less than or equal to 2.5 microns (PM2.5), and sulphur dioxide (SO2). NMHCs and BC measurements were averaged every 5 minutes while the remaining data was averaged hourly. The average concentration of O3 (30.4 ppb) was below the annual average concentration of O3 in ambient air in Canada which was 33 ppb in 2011 (Environment Canada, 2013) while all of the average and maximum concentrations for pollutants governed by The Air Quality Regulations from Nova Scotia Environment (including O3) fell below maximum permissible levels. The mean values (min:max) for NMHC, BC, PM2.5, SO2, H2S, O3, NO, NOx, and NO2 were 0.034 ppm (0.0 : 1.13), 0.092 µg/m3 (0.0 : 13), 14.1 µg/m3 (0 : 43), 0.168 ppb (0.0 : 3), 0.361ppb (0.0 : 13.7), 30.4 ppb (8.24 : 61.1), 2.17 ppb (0.0 : 3.5), 1.12 ppb (0.0 : 28.7), 0.998 ppb (0.0 : 14.6). During this study, a new gas production facility came on line on July 22nd 2013. Significant differences (P<0.05) between concentrations of BC, PM2.5, SO2, H2S, O3, NO, NOx, and NO2 were seen after July 22nd 2013. The median values and upper percentiles for BC, PM2.5, NO, and NOx show decreases after July 22nd, while those for SO2, H2S, and NO2 show increases. Due to the strong correlation of SO2 and H2S with offshore oil and gas activities found through PMF modelling and a spearman rank order correlation this implies the new off-shore gas production did have an impact on the air quality on Sable Island. The PMF model run identified 4 factors contributing to the air quality on Sable Island but source contributions could not be determined due to insufficient PM2.5 and VOC speciation data. Long range transport, off-gassing from offshore O&G activities (with contributions from phytoplankton blooms), flaring, and on-site combustion were the sources associated with these 4 factors. It was recommended that sampling on Sable Island continue as further characterization of the air quality would be beneficial to more fully understanding sources and sinks of air pollution on the island and the surrounding Scotian Shelf

The cultivation of (difficult) surfaces or “I know that’s a tree”
No full textTo coincide with the exhibition Real Painting at the Castlefield Gallery in Manchester Craig Staff, author of After Modernist Painting: The History of a Contemporary Practice (2013), offered his response to the exhibition, considering it in relation to painting’s histories, theories and philosophies. From connections with the Renaissance and modernism, he will venture towards the means by which we might begin to think about, if not understand the works that make up Real Painting
ARF versus RHD: Nomenclature matters
No full textRecording of presentation given by Craig Sable with the title 'ARF versus RHD: Nomenclature matters', presented on Wednesday, 13 March 2019 as part of the Inaugural PROTEA (Partnerships for Children with Heart Disease in Africa) Workshop in Cape Town, South Africa.The 13th-16th March 2019 marked the Inaugural PROTEA (Partnerships for Children with Heart Disease in Africa) Workshop hosted by the Children’s Heart Disease Research Unit under the directorship of A/Prof Liesl Zuhlke and in conjunction with the Paediatric Cardiology Service of the Western Cape. A first in Africa, this workshop combined four events: a research methods workshop, a basic echocardiography (echo) workshop, two days of advanced echo as well as a rheumatic heart disease research think-tank. 130 delegates from 19 different countries representing all six continents attended the event, making it truly global and giving attendees the opportunity to meet and network with experts in the fields of rheumatic and congenital heart disease.Funding was provided by the University of Manchester, the University of Cape Town and The Children’s Heart Disease Research Unit. A special thanks to Professor Bernard Keavney, from the University of Manchester, for his assistance and support
Bringing Hidden Organizations Out of the Shadows: Introduction to the Special Issue
No full textThis introduction to the special issue describes hidden organizations, offers several reasons for the lack of research on these collectives, and explains how this collection of articles helps move us forward in efforts to empirically study hidden organizations. After providing background information on the history of this special issue, the five articles published here are described in terms of the type of collective examined, the theories and methods used, and the key research questions addressed. Three observations about the published pieces are made: being hidden requires communicative effort; hiddenness is usefully understood in terms of identity management; and any discussion of hidden organizations raises ethical considerations. The piece closes with acknowledgements and a call for continued conceptual/theoretical and empirical research into hidden organizations.This is an introduction to a special issue on Hidden Organizations edited by the author. Published online before print: July 19, 2015
