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.

Preface to the proceedings CTAC-2006
No full textThis Special Part of the ANZIAM Journal (Electronic Supplement) contains the peer refereed articles from the 13th Biennial Computational Techniques and Applications Conference (CTAC2006) held at James Cook University in July 2006. The proceedings editors are Wayne Read and A. J. Roberts.
The CTAC series of conferences is held under the auspices of the Computational Mathematics Group of the Australian and New Zealand Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ANZIAM) division of the Australian Mathematics Society. They provide a forum for scientists, engineers, and mathematicians interested in the development of computational techniques and their application to problems of practical importance

Reading the Word and the World in Haiti: Literacy Education for Social Justice
No full textThe first author traveled to Haiti as a member of a group of volunteers from the U.S. whose goals were to provide assistance to children in a privately operated primary school located in the rural community of Lamardelle. For the first author, assistance primarily focused on training in literacy education, with an emphasis on reading comprehension strategies for students who struggle to read. We examine literacy education as a tool of social justice. This paper describes the components of the first summer of this teacher development program and explains how our work was undergirded by the Freirean ideas regarding liberatory education (Frire,2000). A second aim is to analyze ways language impacts the practice of education in Haiti. In so doing we hope to present a model of how literacy education can be a tool for social justice in similar contexts
You Mean that Really Happened?!: Using Nonfiction to Engage Struggling Readers
No full textNonfiction texts used in a middle school classroom encouraged struggling readers to explore other nonfiction texts and to write about the world around them. Rosenblatt’s (1978) transactional theory of reader response posits that an interaction takes place among reader, author, and text during reading. The nonfiction texts Guts: The True Stories Behind Hatchet and the Brian Books (Paulsen, 2001) and Night (Wiesel, 2006) sparked students’ interest in real-life stories of survival and prompted struggling readers to read other nonfiction stories and to reflect upon and share text-to-self, text-to-text, and text-to-world connections through discussion and writing

Reading in the mobile era
No full textMobile technology can advance literacy and learning in underserved communities around the world.
Summary
Millions of people do not read for one reason: they do not have access to text. But today mobile phones and cellular networks are transforming a scarce resource into an abundant one.
Drawing on the analysis of over 4,000 surveys collected in seven developing countries and corresponding qualitative interviews, this report paints the most detailed picture to date of who reads books and stories on mobile devices and why.
The findings illuminate, for the first time, the habits, beliefs and profiles of mobile readers. This information points to strategies to expand mobile reading and, by extension, the educational, social and economic benefits associated with increased reading.
Mobile technology can advance literacy and learning in underserved communities around the world. This report shows how
