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

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
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.

First person - Craig Keenan
No full textABSTRACT
First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Disease Models & Mechanisms, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Craig Keenan is first author on ‘Post-traumatic osteoarthritis development is not modified by postnatal chondrocyte deletion of Ccn2’, published in DMM. Craig conducted the research described in this article while a postdoctoral research associate in Dr Blandine Poulet's lab at the University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK. He is now a lecturer in vertebrate physiology in the lab of Dr Jason Kirby at Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool, UK, investigating the roles of cartilage and bone in the pathogenesis of degenerative joint disease.</jats:p

Whittier House donor letter and list from Frederick P. Craig
No full textWhittier House scrapbooks document Whittier House programs, events, and anniversary celebrations through newspaper clippings, lecture fliers, newsletters, event programs, and ticket stubs. Newspaper clippings are primarily from the Jersey Journal. There is also Whittier House fundraising materials, including pamphlets, appeal letters, brochures, and postcards. The Whittier House Social Settlement, the first settlement house in New Jersey, was established in Jersey City, N.J. (Hudson County) in 1894. Founded by Cornelia Foster Bradford, who would remain with the organization as headworker until 1926, Whittier House was based on the settlement house, Toynbee Hall, in England. Whittier House provided various recreational and educational programs, along with much needed social services, for the immigrant populations of Jersey City. Many of these successful services were used as models for large-scale social reform movements through the state. In 1935, the Whittier House was taken over by the Boys' Club of Jersey City
Network Analysis of Simulated and Real Indigenous Irrigation System
No full textSmall-scale Indigenous Irrigation Systems (IIS) are water-sharing societies which have been observed to persist for long periods of time finding a dynamic equilibrium with the environment. This persistence is thought to be mostly due to the institutions and system structures which evolve to maintain stability despite internal and external changes. They have been described as the most ancient and ubiquitous example of public infrastructure system, however, the way in which they grow, evolve and maintain stability is a contested and also controversial topic. The study of IIS is interdisciplinary and generally classified under the umbrella term Social-Ecological Systems.Advances in computing performance and software have enabled simulation modelling to be quicker, cheaper and more accessible. Alongside this, recent scientific understanding of complex systems and network theory has led to new interdisciplinary theories on universal scaling and preferential attachment based growth in systems of many interacting components. This research aims to harness this potential by building an abstract simulated IIS in a generative agent-based model environment.The model assumes that the IIS network grows through preferential attachment to optimise space, which is the mechanism of growth found in previous models and a common assumption in biological systems as it increases efficiency. Different growth strategies relating to local or global information and stochastic processes are tested and find a range of space optimal configurations.The results find that all models form rooted planar tree networks. Stochastic processes are important for the model to search for different model configurations and finding almost optimal configuration. The optimal solution is found from collecting global information of the network and selecting growth globally, however this is computationally expensive, and inefficient so unlikely to be found in real systems. The networks formed through random asynchronous processes follow scale-free laws which coincide with similar scaling exponent as other sub-critical networks such as rivers.Two vastly different real-world IIS networks are then analysed and compared with the simulated models. The real-world networks show differences comparable to the differences found in the simulated models. The reasons for these differences are speculated to be due to a number of factors including geomorphology and managerial arrangements, however given the limited data collected no firm conclusion can be made. It is recommended that further data is collected and analysed in order to confirm this
