title: Nurturing talent through curriculum integration

authors: Brough, Chris Jane

subjects: curriculum integration

abstract: In this paper I discuss the benefits of curriculum integration for gifted and talented students in the regular classroom setting. Although this approach to curriculum delivery enhances learning for all learners, the focus of this article is the gifted and talented student. In this paper I begin by describing the approach and the teacher's role in the process. I then explore how curriculum integration differentiates learning, enhances cultural inclusiveness and crosses traditional subject boundaries. Examples of integrated units are woven throughout this paper to illustrate how this approach can be implemented in practice.

title: Passive detection of TCP congestion events

authors: Alcock, Shane

subjects: computer science

abstract: Detailed passive analysis of TCP sender behaviour requires accurate identification of congestion events. Previous tools that attempt to provide such information do not incorporate the behaviour of recent operating systems and TCP features and are therefore of little use to researchers analysing contemporary TCP traffic. In this paper, we present a new tool for identifying and classifying TCP congestion events from a passive packet trace, called tcpcsm, which understands modern operating system TCP behaviour. We discuss the major problems that occur when passively identifying TCP congestion events and describe how tcpcsm solves them. We also show that tcpcsm is more accurate than previous tools using a series of controlled experiments involving a variety of operating systems.

title: The day ahead

authors: Webber, Warren

abstract: With a professional background in agriculture and veterinary science, and a decade of participation in water quality issues for the Rotorua Lakes catchments, Warren brings an intense personal, but non-vested interest, to issues of nutrient management on the land and in our waterways. Conference management (international and domestic) helps to pay the bills, but voluntary community interests take up much of his time. As an appointee to the Stakeholder Advisory Group (StAG) which considers land management and land use change policy issues on behalf of the Te Arawa Lakes Strategy Group, he is closely involved with the challenges of nutrient allocation and incentives for change.
