description: While globally published data suggests that chlamydial species are essentially ubiquitous in livestock, little is known about the epidemiology of livestock C. pecorum infections, particularly in Australia. Although C. pecorum infections are regularly reported across most of Australia's mainland koala populations, the genetic diversity of infecting C. pecorum strains is not well understood. The encroachment of koala habitats by sheep and cattle farming along the east coast of Australia is common and raises serious questions over the relationships and potential role that cross-host transmission may have in the epidemiology of chlamydial disease in these hosts. Infections in wild ruminants (e.g. ibex and chamois) and domesticated pigs have also been reported, yet almost nothing is known about the genetic diversity of C. pecorum in these animal hosts and their relationships to livestock and koala strains either. Previous typing studies for C. pecorum utilised highly polymorphic genes, however the derived phylogenies and genotyping schemes were often in contrast to each other. In order to evaluate the overall C. pecorum genetic diversity in various hosts, I developed a C. pecorum-specific Multi Locus Sequence Typing (MLST) scheme. This scheme was then applied to a range of samples from koalas, Australian sheep and cattle, as well as C. pecorum livestock isolates from Europe and the USA and wild ruminants from Switzerland. C. pecorum-specific MLST provided the first molecular epidemiological data on infections in sheep and cattle in Australia, and in characterising novel C. pecorum genotypes, highlighting an unexpected level of diversity for this pathogen.
Translating Emma: Exploring the lived experience of chronic pain in adolescents through a fictional narrative
Creators: name: Mead, Julianne
Publisher: name: University of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland
Year: 2022

description: The primary aim of this research is to create a Young Adult novel that provides a fictional representation of the lived experience of adolescent chronic pain. The narrative themes explored include impacts on youth identity formation due to reduced social interaction, arising familial tensions, challenges associated with language utilised in the health system, and peer assumptions, such as adolescents with chronic pain are ‘faking it’. The creative artefact is founded in current scholarly understandings of chronic pain, thematic analysis of interviews conducted with adolescents, and the interrogation of the Young Adult (YA) ‘Sick-Lit’ genre as the work’s critical context. These investigations are framed by the issue of ‘translation’, referring to how the experience of chronic pain can be ‘lost in translation’ through the various discourses and tensions encountered by adolescents living with chronic pain: from medical practitioners to the families of adolescents, from private lives to the general public, and from documented articulations to their fictional representation. This research seeks to broaden awareness of chronic pain for adolescents, families and the wider reading public.

description: Background: Free-living adherence to high-intensity interval training (HIIT) has not been adequately tested. This randomized trial examined changes in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and accelerometer-measured purposeful physical activity over 12 months of free-living HIIT versus moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT). Methods: Ninety-nine previously low-active participants with overweight/obesity were randomly assigned to HIIT (n = 47) or MICT (n = 52). Both interventions were combined with evidence-based behaviour change counselling consisting of 7 sessions over 2 weeks. Individuals in HIIT were prescribed 10 X 1-min interval-based exercise 3 times per week (totalling 75 min) whereas individuals in MICT were prescribed 150 min of steady-state exercise per week (50 mins 3 times per week). Using a maximal cycling test to exhaustion with expired gas analyses, CRF was assessed at baseline and after 6 and 12 months of free-living exercise. Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity of 10+ minutes (MVPA10+) was assessed by 7-day accelerometry at baseline, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Intention to treat analyses were conducted using linear mixed models. Results: CRF was improved over the 12 months relative to baseline in both HIIT (+ 0.15 l/min, 95% CI 0.08 to 0.23) and MICT (+ 0.11 l/min, 95% CI 0.05 to 0.18). Both groups improved 12-month MVPA10+ above baseline (HIIT: + 36 min/week, 95% CI 17 to 54; MICT: + 69 min/week, 95% CI 49 to 89) with the increase being greater (by 33 min, 95% CI 6 to 60) in MICT (between group difference, P = 0.018). Conclusion: Despite being prescribed twice as many minutes of exercise and accumulating significantly more purposeful exercise, CRF improvements were similar across 12 months of free-living HIIT and MICT in previously low-active individuals with overweight/obesity.

description: The current study is a multimethod, longitudinal exploration of friendship patterns of children with ADHD. We relied on information from parent and teacher ratings, self-report measures of children and their friends, and observational data from three interactive tasks. In the two phases of the study, the participants were 112 children and their friends between the ages of 7 and 13: ADHD group dyads, n = 68; comparison group dyads, n = 44. Results indicated that the friendships of children with ADHD differed from the friendships of the comparison group. Overall, children with ADHD had friendships that, although stable over time, were of lower duration and stability than the friendships of comparison children. The lower duration and stability of friendships in the ADHD group coincided with more single-parent households in this group, which may indicate elevated family stress. However, children with ADHD were no different than comparison children in regards to the age of their friends and the places where they met them. At both participations, ADHD dyads reported fewer positive friendship features than comparison dyads. Furthermore, children with ADHD reported less intimacy toward their friends, less help and guidance, and less validation and caring. The friendship behaviour dynamics observed during the interactive tasks differed between the two groups. Children with ADHD violated more rules and were less altruistic and sensitive during interactions. Additionally, children with ADHD showed less positive and more non-positive affect while relating to their friends. When a decision that involved a compromise had to be made, the length of interaction was greater and coincided with displayed non-positive affect. Additionally, their friendly interactions were observed to be characterized by unequal power distribution as opposed to those in the comparison group where there was greater power equality. However, our results also suggest that the behavioural trajectory over time was similar between the ADHD and comparison groups. The friendships of ADHD and comparison children were rich in positive and negative friendship features reported by the two friends, and over time there was more open reporting of the negative friendship aspects. Our results did not seem to be affected by gender and age differences, ADHD subtypes, comorbidities, or medication status. Through outlining friendship patterns of children with ADHD, we are hopeful that our findings may be useful to mitigate negative social consequences of ADHD. A practical clinical application may be in recommending measures and creating interventions aimed at promoting friendship and improving social adjustments in children and young adolescents with ADHD.

description: Using quantitative and qualitative methods, this study explored community perspectives, economic influence and visitors' responses attributed to dolphin feeding tourism activity involving Australian humpback dolphins (Sousa sahulensis) in Tin Can Bay, Queensland Australia. This was undertaken in the context of a wildlife interaction model. The local community was found to support the economic and social benefits of the activity but raised concerns about inequities that flowed from the activity. The economic influence of the activity was proven to be more beneficial to the region than to the community in which the dolphin feeding occurred. This highlights the need for regional assessment of economic benefits in destination planning rather than simply focusing on benefits that accrue to the host community. Different factors affected the satisfaction of visitors with the feeding experience. Getting close to the dolphins was particularly influential in stimulating motivations to contribute to dolphin (and environment) conservation.
Plausible futures for the Queensland Public Service: exploring the changing nature of government bureaucracies and generational change
Creators: name: Teske, Kate
Publisher: name: University of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland
Year: 2006
Subjects: Queensland Public Service

description: Queensland Government bureaucracies are being forced to change due to several major social, economic, environmental, technological and political influences. These include changes brought about by an ageing population, globalisation and generational change, changing public service demographics and diversity within perceptions of the time and space in which we live as Queenslanders. A better educated, more politically aware and technologically literate society is expecting, not only open and accountable government run by knowledgeable staff working effectively and efficiently, but a public service that works in partnership with private enterprise and other levels of government to provide sustainable services into the future. The chaos and complexity of the changes required to meet society's needs for the public sector of the future, working within historical structures and characteristics of government bureaucracies, and the resultant contradictions within everyday working life for public servants, have been identified as the source of a sense of anxiety, currently evident in the Queensland Public Service. This research discovered, through anticipatory action learning workshops, issues identified by the Strategic Management Network of the Queensland Public Service (QPS) as contributing to this anxiety. These issues include: differences in the skills base required for the future QPS; a broad range of emerging and future issues involved with the changing nature of work in the QPS; generational change issues; and requirements for structural change. They were identified using metaphors of the future, near and distant future emerging issues analysis, and the participants' tacit knowledge. These issues were then tested by surveying 500 Queensland public servants and posing four plausible futures for the sector. The survey found that these issues and plausible futures generated from them were acknowledged as being of importance and relevance, and that there were response differences relevant to the age and gender of the respondent.

description: Characteristic modes (CMs) provide deep insight into the electromagnetic behaviour of any arbitrarily shaped conducting structure because the CMs are unique to the geometry of the object. We exploit this very fact by predicting a perhaps surprising number of important antenna metrics such as resonance frequency, radiation efficiency and antenna Q (bandwidth) without needing to specify a feeding location. In doing so, it is possible to define a collection of objective functions that can be used in an optimizer to shape-synthesize antennas without needing to define a feed location a priori. We denote this novel form of optimization “feedless” or “excitation-free” antenna shape synthesis. Fundamentally, we are allowing the electromagnetics to dictate how the antenna synthesis should proceed and are in no way imposing the physical constraints enforced by fixed feeding structures. This optimization technique is broadly applied to three major areas of antenna research: electrically small antennas, multi-band antennas and reflectarrays. Thus, the scope of applicability ranges from small antennas, to intermediate sizes and concludes with electrically large antenna designs, which is a testament to the broad applicability of characteristic mode theory. Another advantage of feedless electromagnetic shape synthesis is the ability to synthesize antennas whose desirable properties approach the fundamental limits imposed by electromagnetics. As an additional benefit, the feedless optimization technique is shown to have greater computational efficiency than traditional antenna optimization techniques.

description: L’articolo indaga la filosofia teatrale di Kant soffermandosi sul significato che vi assume la definizione di teatro quale unione delle altre arti e analizzando le implicazioni estetiche che tale concettualizzazione comporta. In particolare, lo studio conduce, prendendo le mosse dall’apparentemente estrema vicinanza tra Kant e Batteux, a stabilire che la fonte del biasimo morale kantiano nei confronti del teatro e dell’attore vada individuata nella Lettera sugli spettacoli di J.-J.

L’interesse per l’orizzonte della pratica performativa dell’attore si allontana da un’iniziale definizione retorica, ancora presente in Luigi Riccoboni, per concentrarsi con Sainte-Albine e soprattutto Diderot sulla dimensione gestuale, mimica e scenica del lavoro dell’attore, acquistando un originale spessore filosofico.

description: Hyperkalemic periodic paralysis is characterized by myotonic discharges followed by paralysis. Caused by a mutation in the gene encoding for NaV1.4 channel, patients do not experience symptoms during infancy, but the onset starts between 1-10 years of age. The symptoms severity then increases with age until adolescence. A large increase in gene expression marked by an increase in oxidative capacity of muscles has also been reported in HyperKPP. It is possible that the onset of symptoms is related solely to NaV1.4 channel content/activity reaching a critical level. It is also possible that the onset of some symptoms are due to defective NaV1.4, while other symptoms and the increase in severity with age are related to changes in membrane components as a result of changes in gene expression. To test these possibilities, the progression of paralysis and changes in fiber types were followed with age in HyperKPP mice in relation to changes in NaV1.4 content and activity. Changes in fiber types (index of changes in gene expression), started after the onset of paralysis was observed, which coincided with NaV1.4 channels reaching maximum expression. Therefore, the onset of symptoms was related to defective NaV1.4 channels.

description: Outside Looking In (OLI) is a youth development through recreation program for Aboriginal peoples in Canada. Through the analysis of semi-structured interviews, fieldnotes, and archival documents, in this thesis I examine OLI staff and Board members’ description of OLI’s creation and implementation processes. This thesis is written in the stand alone format and is comprised of two papers. The first paper shows that OLI staff and Board members describe OLI’s creation and implementation as relatively predetermined. At the same time, however, OLI incorporates collaborative approaches to various aspects of program design. While OLI facilitates collaborative processes that can contribute to Aboriginal self-determination, Eurocentric influences and broader colonial forces make efforts to achieve Aboriginal self-determination challenging. The second paper illustrates that OLI’s approach to Aboriginal youth development through recreation creates a hybrid third space that challenges colonial discourses. Together, this thesis not only describes the creation and implementation processes of a youth development through recreation program for Aboriginal peoples, but also how the tensions associated with Aboriginal self-determination and colonial relations of power can permeate such programs.

Romanian imperatives from the perspective of generative grammar.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Language, Linguistics.

description: This thesis aims to answer the question why the Imperative has uses in Romanian not found in other Romance languages. This thesis will argue that Romanian has a mixed Imperative paradigm, combining characteristics of Romance languages (e.g., Italian, Italian dialects, and Spanish)---since Romanian itself is a Romance language---and Balkan languages (Albanian, Bulgarian, Greek, and Serbo-Croatian). I will argue that some differences are historical, since Romanian is genetically related to the former, and geographically, hence typologically, to the latter. In the first chapter, I will focus on the Romanian verbal paradigm, introducing some data about the Romanian verb with some diachronic references. I will describe the Imperative Mood from the perspective of traditional grammar. In the second chapter, I will review the most recent studies of generative grammar that have explored Romance and Balkan Imperatives. In the last chapter, I will try to establish the correct syntactic analysis of the Romanian Imperative. I will argue that Romanian can be included within the class of languages with distinct morphology and syntax for the Imperative Mood, but I will present the contrasting elements that allow us to call Romanian a language with a "mixed" Imperative syntax. The supporting examples will be taken from standard Romanian and from the Romanian classic literature that I have consulted.

description: What if the academy were actually in control of metadata? When we think about the key places of evidence in scholarly communications we often turn to bibliographic databases provided by third party media organisations. Increasingly these organisations are not only commercial parties outside of the control of academic institutions but are organisations that are entirely unrelated to scholarship. There has been much talk, not least by myself, of ‘community ownership’, and ‘open infrastructures’ but what does it take to make that a reality in practice?

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In this letter, we first present the theoretical basis for coherent optical OFDM systems in direct up/down conversion architecture. We then demonstrate the transmission performance through simulation for WDM systems with coherent optical OFDM (CO-OFDM) including the fiber nonlinearity effect. The results show that the system Q of the WDM channels at 10 Gb/s is over 13.0 dB for a transmission up to 4800 km of standard-single-mode-fiber (SSMF) without dispersion compensation. A novel technique of partial carrier filling (PCF) for improving the nonlinearity performance of the transmission is also presented. The system Q of the WDM channels with a filling factor of 50 % at 10 Gb/s is improved from 15.1 dB to 16.8 dB for a transmission up to 3200 km of SSMF without dispersion compensation.

description: Cette recherche sur le parricide s'inscrit dans la lignée des études sur la réaction sociale. En privilégiant cette voie, l'auteur a voulu explorer de nouvelles avenues qui ont semblé être peu retenues jusqu'à présent. En effet, il semblerait que les recherches existantes sur le parricide, ont préféré s'attarder presqu'exclusivement sur les causes pouvant conduire au passage à l'acte. D'où le titre «Au-delà des causes: le parricide et sa réaction sociale» Parce qu'en effet, le parricide c'est beaucoup plus que les causes qui peuvent pousser un enfant à tuer son ou ses parents. Il réside de vastes avenues à explorer en relation avec ce thème. De plus, non seulement les recherches ont presque toujours été orientées en fonction des causes, les différents chercheurs et cliniciens ont, par ailleurs, semblé obtenir un certains consensus sur ces causes. Par conséquent, il s'avérait non pertinent de poursuivre dans cette voie. L'objectif de la recherche est d'examiner, surtout le discours juridique afin de déterminer si le crime de parricide fut traité de la même manière que les autres crimes. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Background: Developing countries are often at the front-line of the consequences of global challenges such as poverty, food insecurity and environmental change. Significant time, money and resources are invested into international agricultural development initiatives by governments and organisations globally as a means to address these challenges. One model of countries working together to deliver agriculture development initiatives is ‘Triangular Co-operation’ (TrC). Given this is a model of growing interest, a scoping review is needed to identify the types of evidence available in this context, to clarify definitions in the literature, identify key characteristics of TrC arrangements and identify knowledge gaps.
description: Objective: The objective of this scoping review is to synthesise the current literature and examine the key characteristics TrC partnerships in the international agricultural development context (agriculture and rural development and agricultural research for development).
description: Inclusion criteria: The scoping review will examine all publications (from 1978 – 2022) that report on triangular co-operation as a model of partnership, between low-, middle- and high- income countries working together within the agriculture and aquaculture context for development outcomes. Quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods study designs, systematic reviews, opinion papers from the academic peer-reviewed literature will be considered, in addition to grey literature sources such as government reports, organisation reports, research and project reports, theses and dissertations.
description: Methods: A three-step search strategy will be utilised in accordance with the JBI methodology for scoping reviews. The search will be conducted in CABI (via CABI interface), Scopus (Elsevier), Web of Science (Clarivate), ABI/INFORM Collection (ProQuest), and Business Source Ultimate (EBSCO), ProQuest Dissertations and Theses and TROVE, with the OECD iLibrary, Google Scholar and Google used to search for grey literature. Screening of the abstracts and subsequent screening of full articles against the criteria will be undertaken by two reviewers. Data extraction from the selected sources will be conducted using a data extraction tool. Descriptive and qualitative content analysis will be undertaken, and results will be organised under main conceptual categories according to the review questions.
Studies of microwaves applications for adhesive, weld joint and NDT technique

description: One of the most important areas of the application of industrial microwave processing for materials processing is curing polymers and polymer based composites. This research effort has been made to fast process and assesses the joining of thermoplastic substrates. Polycarbonate and Acrylic sheet substrates were chosen. Two adhesives were selected, namely the C-245 General Purpose Epoxy Adhesive and Toughened Acrylic Adhesive respectively in order to provide heterogenous bonging. Teflon jig and wooden clamp jig were designed and used to assist the adhesive joining process. Single lap shear joints were prepared for characterisation to ASTM procedures. Adherend were prepared and the joining process was performed in the Variable Frequency Microwave Furnace (VFMF). Curing was input with various power levels and irradiation duration. Inside the cavity of the VFMF, a temperature senor probe was used to automatically monitor the temperature level of the load. Operational parameters, such as temperature and power levels, were recorded and saved as a file on the CPU unit. Tensile testing was performed on the all adhesive joints using Instron Machine and the tensile bond strength (Stage I) was calibrate and recorded. Another set sample (Stage II) was performed again, but the tensile testing measurements were performed after six months since the bonding was performed. These two sets of data has recorded and further studied. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), photostress analysis using a polariscope, and infrared spectroscopy analysis were performed on selected fractured joints to explore the detailed fractured surface characteristics and stress distribution of the tested to destruction joints. Results show the average of both set of the bond strength and the different percentage deviations from the parent material strength. In general, stage II seemed to yield weaker bond strength. This provided a strong indication that the microwave curing bonding strength is time (duration) sensitive. The polariscope results showed an even stress distribution and the bond strength being close to the parent material strength. Towards the end of the thesis, a new NDT (non-destructive testing) methodoloty is demonstrated based on the microwave characterisation technique. This form of quality testing can prove to be a new evaluation tool for assessing bond integrity using the same processing and quality testing facilities, ie the VFMF. In summary, this thesis presents the results of many adhesive bonded experimental studies as well as a new methodology for evaluating bonded joints. Together with the new findings about the duration sensitivity of the microwave curing process and NDT technique, the associated limitatioins are outlined. The recommendations arising from the research outcomes suggest ways for extending the work of this research studies and suggest further developments for enhancing the capabilities and applications of the techniques.

description: La popularité du roman à suspense n’est plus à faire. Maxime Chattam, auteur à succès contemporain, est l’un des représentants importants de ce courant. Dans sa Trilogie du mal, Chattam développe une poétique particulière qui contribue à renouveler le genre en intégrant à ses récits des figures de l’imaginaire « fantastique » (revenant, démon monstrueux et araignée géante) qu’il associe à ses personnages de tueurs en série. Sans pour autant faire plonger ses lecteurs dans un univers fantastique proprement dit, Chattam s’ingénie à ranimer les peurs qui sont associées à ces figures. Cette thèse analyse l’intégration des figures de l’irrationnel dans les trois tomes de la Trilogie du mal (L’âme du mal, In tenebris et Maléfices) et la place qu’elles occupent dans la poétique de l’auteur. Nous étudions les procédés utilisés par Chattam pour créer une atmosphère angoissante et ancrer ces figures au cœur de ses romans. Enfin, nous montrons comment les figures de l’imaginaire « fantastique » permettent au romancier d’amener ses lecteurs à poser un regard plus critique sur la société qui leur est dépeinte.

description: Chemical biology encompasses the study and manipulation of biological system using chemistry, often by virtue of small molecules or unnatural amino acids. Much insight has been gained into the mechanisms of biological processes with regards to protein structure and function, metabolic processes and changes between healthy and diseased states. As an ever expanding field, developing new tools to interact with and impact biological systems is an extremely valuable goal. Herein, work is described towards the synthesis of a small library of heterocyclic-containing small molecules and the mechanistic details regarding the interesting and unexpected chemical compounds that arose; an alternative set of non-toxic copper catalyzed azide-alkyne click conditions for in vivo metabolic labelling; and the synthesis of an unnatural amino acid for further chemical modification via [3+2] cycloadditions with nitrones upon incorporation into a peptide of interest. Altogether, these projects strive to supplement pre-existing methodology for the synthesis of small molecule libraries and tools for metabolic labelling, and thus provide further small molecules for understanding biological systems.

description: C/EBPβ is a bZIP transcription factor known to be involved in various physiological processes, including adipogenesis, osteogenesis and liver development. Previous studies in this laboratory revealed an inhibition of myogenesis and reduced myogenic protein expression in 5-azacytidine treated mesenchymal stem cells retrovirally transduced to overexpress C/EBPβ. The goal of this thesis was to evaluate the role of C/EBPβ in myogenic differentiation by overexpression in C2C12 myoblasts and primary myoblasts. We demonstrate reduced MyoD protein expression and subsequent downregulation of myogenic proteins during differentiation following C/EBPβ overexpression. We localized C/EBPβ to the quiescent Pax7+ satellite cells associated with the muscle fiber. Upon satellite cell activation, we observed the downregulation of C/EBPβ protein expression prior to MyoD protein expression. Furthermore, the re-expression of C/EBPβ correlated with the loss of MyoD expression later in differentiation. Histological analysis of C/EBPβ-/- mice revealed smaller fibers and a reduced Pax7+ satellite cell population as compared to control animals. In this thesis, we propose that C/EBPβ is a negative regulator of skeletal muscle differentiation by inhibiting the expression of MyoD, thus impairing proper progression through the myogenic program. In addition, we propose a role for C/EBPβ in the maintenance of undifferentiatied satellite cells.
L’“infinito” nella riflessione di Edmund Burke
Creators: name: Ferri, Michela
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano

description: É noto che l’idea dell’“infinito” costituisce uno dei punti cardine della definizione burkeiana del concetto di “sublime”. Dall’analisi contenuta nell’Enquiry il lettore comprenderà che non è nell’infinito “naturale”, bensì, in quello “artificiale”, che Burke rintraccia l’autentico significato di tale idea, così come essa si presenta all’uomo attraverso la sua percezione degli elementi che osserva. Sono due gli aspetti che emergono dall’originale definizione che Burke elabora del concetto di “infinito artificiale”: il primo, quello della pura illusione, considerando che la struttura dell’infinito è quella dell’inganno; il secondo, quello dell’inscindibilità del sublime dall’oggetto: sappiamo che il sublime non può astrarsi dall’oggetto percepito e che, quindi, l’infinito non può che essere inteso come “artificiale”.

description: Lysine acetylation is a post-translational modification (PTM) studied extensively in the context of histone proteins as a regulator of chromatin dynamics. Recent proteomic studies have revealed that as much as 10% of prokaryotic and mammalian proteins undergo lysine acetylation, and as such, the study of its biological consequences is rapidly expanding to include virtually all cellular processes. Unravelling the complex regulatory network governed by lysine acetylation will require an in depth knowledge of the lysine acetyltransferase enzymes that mediate catalysis, and moreover the development of methods that can identify enzyme-substrate relationships in vivo. This is complex task and will be aided significantly through the use of model organisms and systems biology approaches. The work presented in this thesis explores the function of the highly conserved NuA4 lysine acetyltransferase enzyme complex in the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae using systems biology approaches. By exploiting genetic screening tools available to the budding yeast model, I have systematically assessed the cellular roles of NuA4, thereby identifying novel cellular processes impacted by the function of the complex, such as vesicle-mediated transport and the stress response, and moreover identified specific pathways and proteins that are impacted by NuA4 KAT activity, including cytokinesis through the regulation of septin protein dynamics. Moreover, I have developed a mass spectrometry-based technique to identify NuA4-dependent acetylation sites amongst proteins that physically interact with NuA4 in vivo. Together this work demonstrates the diversity of processes impacted by NuA4 function in vivo and moreover highlights the utility of global screening techniques to characterize KAT function.
On the association between modes of mental representation and mathematics experience in pre-service education students.

Subjects: subject: Education, Educational Psychology.

description: The purpose of this study is to examine one aspect of the cognitive development of pre-service education students; i.e. the ability to utilize different modes of mental representation. This study attempts to provide a basis for understanding the relationship between the degree of experience in mathematics and the ability to utilize different modes of mental representation. The selected instrumentation illustrates different aspects of mental representation. The "Modes of Thought Questionnaire" (MOTQ) of Aylwin (1985) is allied to thinking itself, the "Knowledge Accessing Modes Inventory" (KAMI) of Rancourt (1989) is allied to knowledge accessing, and the Diehl and England (1958) version of the "Griffitts Test of Mental Imaging" is allied to mental imaging. In the MOTQ, associations were found between the level of experience in mathematics and both the ability to utilize each mode of mental representation and the overall use of the preferred modes. Specifically, a lack of experience in mathematics appears to be related to an ability to utilize correctly all three modes of mental representation when directed to do so. A lack of mathematics experience also appears to be related to a lower utilization of the verbal mode of mental representation, and a higher use of the visual mode, than expected. In the KAMI test, likewise, an association was found between levels of experience in mathematics and the dominant mode of knowledge accessing. A significantly higher percentage of subjects with no experience in mathematics have the noetic mode as dominant mode, whereas a significantly higher percentage of subjects with a high level of experience in mathematics have the rational mode as dominant mode. In the Griffitts test, however, no association was found between the level of experience in mathematics and the use of the three modes of mental imaging. This study has implications both for future research and for education. First, it gives a clear indication that differences do exist between the mental representation modes preferred by individuals with no mathematics experience as compared to those who have even a small level of experience in mathematics. Second, it provides implications regarding teacher education in Ontario, which arise from these differences in the utilization of all of the modes of mental representation and knowledge acquisition.
