The overview is structured according to Tager-Flusberg and Sullivan's (2000) model of social functioning, which differentiates social perceptual and social cognitive skills. Compared to the literature available for other developmental syndromes, there has been very little research exploring social abilities in DS, and studies have produced mixed· findings. Following the overview, research limitations are discussed, then a research study is introduced which addresses some of the limitations and assesses social attribution in DS (N=l7), Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS, N=l7), and in typically developing mental age matched controls (N=l7, MAC) and chronological age matched controls (N=l7, CAC). The research study compares individuals with DS, individuals with WBS, and MAC and CAC on the Social Attribution Task (SAT, Klin, 2000), which uses the Heider and Simmel (1944) silent cartoon animation in which geometric shapes enact a social plot. The SAT measures social abilities which are a fundamental basis of human social interaction (Klin, 2000). Findings indicated a comparable performance between DS, WBS, and MAC on all social cognitive indices from the SAT, but the DS group displayed reduced paralinguistic skills compared to MAC. All groups performed significantly below the level of CAC, except for their ability to attribute cognitive and affective mental states, which was comparable across the four groups. Findings are discussed in relation to Tager-Flusberg and Sullivan's model of social functioning and in relation to amygdala and frontal lobe brain impairments in DS. 2013-05-17T04:49:34.197Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25616 19 pages(s) 2013-05-17T04:05:15.728Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25593 30 pages(s) 2013-05-16T08:11:10.962Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25595 7 pages(s) 2013-05-16T08:10:58.598Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:23383 The common envelope interaction between a giant star and a stellar or substellar companion is at the origin of several compact binary classes, including the progenitors of Type Ia SN. A common envelope is also what will happen when the Sun expands and swallows its planets as far out as Jupiter. The basic idea. and physics of the common envelope interaction has been known since the 1970s. However, the outcome of a common envelope interaction - what systems survive and what their parameters are - depends sensitively on the details of the engagement. To advance our knowledge of the common envelope interaction between stars and their stellar and substellar companions, we have carried out a series of simulations with Eulerian, grid-based and Lagrangian, smoothed particle hydrodynamics codes between a 0.88-M-circle dot, 85-R-circle dot, red giant branch star and companions in the mass range 0.1-0.9 M-circle dot. In this contribution, we will discuss the reliability of the techniques, the physics that is not included in the codes but is likely important, the state of the ejected common envelope, and the final binary separation. We also carry out a comparison with the observations. Finally, we discuss the common envelope efficiency parameter, alpha and the survival of planets. 2013-05-15T14:43:24.164Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25501 20 pages(s) 2013-05-15T14:23:16.232Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25522 The emergence of virtual communities raises ethical issues in new forms.

The growing interest in industrial biomass pyrolysis is the potential for upgrading of the pyrolysis bio-oils to liquid transport fuels, while the solid char, which is rich in carbon, can be used as a renewable solid fuel alternative, specialty carbon product, such as metallurgical carbon or can be blended into soils thereby sequestering carbon and improving soil quality. Industrial biomass pyrolysis processes can operate under fast or slow pyrolysis conditions, depending on the residence time and heating rate of the material in the reactor. Fast pyrolysis is characterised by rapid heating rates that are usually within the range of 1,000 to 10,000 °C/s. On a dry feed basis the yields of liquid oil from fast pyrolysis are between 50 and 80 wt% with gas and char products accounting for the remainder in approximately even proportions. Slow pyrolysis applies gradual heating rates that can be as low as several degrees per minute, where the products may range from being equally distributed amongst the solid, liquid and gas phases to producing solid and gas only. Fast pyrolysis reactor types include bubbling fluidized beds, circulating fluidized beds, rotating cone transported beds and ablative pyrolysers. Slow pyrolysis reactor designs include vacuum pyrolysers, bubbling fluidized beds, augers and heated kilns of various types. At present, most of the reactor designs have been scaled to either pilot or demonstration plant levels. The factors hindering further commercialization of biomass pyrolysis technologies are associated with the inherent limitations of the various reactors. These include raw material feed size and moisture requirements, energy efficiency, scalability restrictions, plant capital intensity and product quality. This chapter reviews and compares the strengths and weaknesses of each reactor design and elucidates the likely pathway for further development of low capital cost, scalable and energy efficient pyrolysis technology. 2013-05-15T14:21:50.982Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25556 Machine generated contents note: Translating as gatekeeping -- Of Go-Betweens and Gatekeepers: Considering Disciplinary Biases in Interpreting History through Exemplary Metaphors.

The many challenges associated with effective expert-lay health communication are further compounded in an EU context as written mandatory patient communication is translated into all EU languages. Despite this increased focus on easy-to-understand health communication, many studies have shown that Patient Information Leaflets (PILs), the texts which in an EU context have to accompany all medication informing us about dosage, side effects etc., are often complex, and one study has indicated that PILs translated into Danish were even more complex than their English source texts. It has been assumed that this increase in complexity during the translation process is caused by the fact that the PILs translators were mainly pharmacists. Thus, this paper reports a preliminary study showing that pharmaceutical companies use either medical professionals or translators to an almost equal extent. The hypothetical translation competences of these two groups are then mapped against the PACTE competence model, and discussed from a theoretical perspective to explore whether the difficulties in the translated PILs could be linked to the translators in view of a further empirical investigation. 2013-05-15T02:30:09.610Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25392 Reprint of Learning, media and technology, vol. 36, issue 02, pgs. 151-167 (2011) 2013-05-10T05:10:07.453Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:23567 pt.

It describes how human-ecosystem connections have been severed and how issues such as global climate change threaten the future of mankind. This book advocates for concerted efforts to re-establish viable and sustainable Cycles of Life by proposing models that can assist this process. The foundation of these models is Intergenerational Democracy (ID), a whole-of-community method of engagement and participation that requires the inclusion of citizens representing all ages (from 8 to 100+ years). ID is embedded in the principles of direct democracy and human rights, recognizing that there are many quieter but equally legitimate voices, particularly those of children, which are rarely heard in policy and planning forums. As explained by an eleven-year-old boy, “We should work to a level where children’s views are regarded just as important as any adult’s as we are the ones that shall be living the future…” Through its age-based methodology, ID enables the application of intergenerational equity, which is at the heart of environmental sustainability. ID cuts through barriers of inequality, by engaging, connecting and motivating whole communities in planning and managing their sustainable futures. This book includes three case studies that describe the methods application and affirm the importance of capturing the voices of children, the planet’s future custodians. The book stresses the importance of rebuilding environmental relationships at the local level, centred on the social and environmental identity of each place, as the basis for rethinking sustainable development. 2013-05-09T09:36:47.741Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25380 192 page(s) 2013-05-09T09:36:43.838Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25381 Using accessible case studies and provocative interviews with some of Australia's foremost media practitioners - including Margo Kingston's reflections on online media, John Safran on media pranksterism, Mike Carlton on the ongoing issue of 'Cash for Comment' and Maxine McKew on the future of journalism - Remote Control is essential reading for anyone interested in the state of debate about media ethics in Australia. 2013-05-09T09:36:42.880Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25383 Records the artist's creative metamorphosis from the early 1970s to 2000. 2013-05-09T09:36:39.495Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25384 15 pages(s) 2013-05-09T09:36:34.644Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25387 13 pages(s) 2013-05-09T09:36:28.130Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25394 Reprint of Learning, media and technology, vol. 36, issue 02 (2011) 2013-05-09T09:36:15.929Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25395 In the first comprehensive examination of the production and consumption of pornography in Australia, Alan McKee, Kath Albury and Catharine Lumby present a wide-ranging view of the adult-content industry and its consumers. 2013-05-09T09:36:13.008Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25396 Alvin Purple was the most commercially successful Australian movies of the 1970s.

Examples are examined transnationally using Britain, France and India: these include female anti-colonial protest using newspapers for public communication, and an analysis of the relationship between Britain's suffragettes and what they called 'the public press'.

They include insects, spiders, and hard-shelled invertebrates such as crabs. This chapter reviews four broad topics on the navigational behavior of arthropods. The first is path integration, the ability to keep track of the straight-line distance and direction from one’s starting point. The second is route behavior, in which landmarks figure in various ways. The third is the use of landmarks, both to chart an initial course and to pinpoint a target. The fourth is map-like navigational behavior.

The English response to the French Revolution can be traced through a reading of the novels of the period. The French Revolution in itself was indelibly associated with the domestic arena, and, thus, by extension, with women. Again and again in novels of the period, and particularly in women’s novels, the stability, or otherwise, of the family reflects the stability of government and of the nation. It was through the medium of the novel that women could enter the debate on revolution, using their novels as means through which to explore many of the dominant social and political issues of the day. The novel, more often than not set in the family home, was a medium uniquely suited to an exploration of revolutionary ideologies in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The emerging form of the novel offered a unique opportunity for women to present new, challenging perspectives on the revolutionary crisis of the 1790s. The works of Frances Burney, Charlotte Smith, Mary Wollstonecraft, Mary Robinson, Maria Edgeworth, Mrs Bullock and Jane Austen, all occupy an important place in this debate, and indeed, in the history of the novel. They demonstrate that women were at the forefront of development of the form of the novel itself. 2013-04-22T20:40:52.745Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25269 18 pages(s) 2013-04-22T20:12:20.361Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25273 This revised edition brings the story right up to the present, covering the worldwide expansion of Sydney Anglicans and Hillsong Pentecostals.

However, the inherent contradictions implied by various and often opposite demands from universities tend to move the problem of learning experiences to tokenism and flawed representations of the state of facts. The overarching aim of this paper is to reflect on the results of one of the most extensive studies conducted on motivation for learning and students imaginations in relation with some of the most influential international developments in higher education for the last decade. Comparative data is used to operate an analysis of consequent implications on curriculum design for student engagement and sustainable learning environments. The aim of the paper is to open an alternative exploration of possibilities to designing curriculum capable to bring ‘creativity agenda’ from rhetoric to practice and engage actively students in sustainable learning. 2013-04-15T05:00:05.338Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:21908 12 pages(s) 2013-04-11T11:45:32.571Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:21944 This paper will discuss ancient Pannonian identitynarratives and their transformations until Late Antiquity. As far as we know, Pannonian identity first appears in the written sources as an outsider’s depiction of the indigenous communities living in what will become Roman southern Pannonia and northern Dalmatia. After the Roman conquest, the narratives of Pannonianess become more complex and develop into what we can today see as a set of different outside labels, and internal self-perceptions relating to the roman province(s) of Pannonia, their regions, and individual communities. The focal point will be, in tune with this whole volume, Pannonian narratives from the southern parts of the province. It is impossible to treat Pannonian identities here in full detail – such an encompassing study would need a whole monograph, rather than just a single chapter. What we offer here is more an outline of the different identity-narratives rather than a full and thorough exploration of all available sources. 2013-04-11T11:45:19.089Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:21945 10 pages(s) 2013-04-11T11:45:18.378Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:22003 14 pages(s) 2013-04-11T11:44:49.075Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:22005 28 pages(s) 2013-04-11T11:44:47.495Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25132 Much has been written about acquisition of knowledge and its role in survival and growth of small and entrepreneurial firms. Little, however, is known about the role of business model in knowledge acquiring activities of the firms. Therefore, by incorporating the cognitive and reified activity-based view of business model into the knowledge-based view (KBV) and absorptive capacity of the firms, this article attempts to address this deficiency. The author posits that business model is a holistic framework in the mind of the executives. It is embodied and reified in activities which employees and particularly executives perform to create and capture value for the firm. In light of this perspective knowledge acquisition is conceived as a key strategic activity whose scope, depth, and breadth are regulated by the business model of the firm. Adding to and extending KBV, this manuscript offers several contributions to theory and practice. Given this analysis, contributions of this view are presented, implications for theory and practice are discussed, and some fruitful areas for future research are highlighted. 2013-04-11T11:23:22.494Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25134 3 pages(s) 2013-04-11T11:23:18.294Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25135 1 page(s) 2013-04-11T11:23:15.198Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25139 18 pages(s) 2013-04-11T11:23:08.540Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25138 234 page(s) 2013-04-11T11:23:06.510Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25140 9 pages(s) 2013-04-11T11:23:02.980Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25141 11 pages(s) 2013-04-11T11:23:02.611Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25142 22 pages(s) 2013-04-11T11:22:59.796Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25149 Researching people's ideas and experiences of Urban and Planning Studies can be carried out in a variety of ways, but the most obvious is to ask them. This can be done qualitatively, using semi-structured or unstructured interviews, at an early stage of the research process, when it is important to explore participants' ideas prior to any quantitative investigation, or for investigations where in-depth and detailed information about individual thinking is important. Face-to-face interviews are a 'gold standard' against which other qualitative methods of investigation can be compared. However, contemporary developments in technology provide a wider range of opportunities for qualitative researchers to collect rich data for analysis. Such technologies enable participation from any part of the world at any time, and allow the collection of video material that can capture many aspects of verbal and non-verbal interaction for further analysis. The use of e-mail interviews provides a relatively low-tech methodology for investigations and has advantages over a live interview, on the one hand, and a high-tech video interview, on the other. 2013-04-11T11:22:46.164Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25150 Domain-specific languages are often implemented by embedding them in general-purpose programming languages. The Kiama library used in this chapter for the Scala programming language contains a rewriting component that is an embedded implementation of the Stratego term rewriting language. The authors evaluate the trade-offs inherent in this approach and its practicality via a non-trivial case study. An existing Stratego implementation of a compiler for the Apply image processing language was translated into a Kiama implementation. The chapter examines the linguistic differences between the two versions of the Stratego domain-specific language, and compares the size, speed, and memory usage of the two Apply compiler implementations. The authors' experience shows that the embedded language implementation inflicts constraints that mean a precise duplication of Stratego is impossible, but the main flavor of the language is preserved. The implementation approach allows for writing code of similar size, but imposes a performance penalty. Nevertheless, the performance is still at a practically useful level and scales for large inputs in the same way as the Stratego implementation. 2013-04-11T11:22:45.282Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25162 15 pages(s) 2013-04-11T11:22:10.132Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25182 Policies to encourage the uptake of efficient irrigation technology have played an important role in achieving water conservation goals in arid area and in reducing polluted return flows from irrigation farms.
