© 2017 Pollock et al. Here we describe an efficient and effective technique for rearing sexually-derived coral propagules from spawning through larval settlement and symbiont uptake with minimal impact on natural coral populations. We sought to maximize larval survival while minimizing expense and daily husbandry maintenance by experimentally determining optimized conditions and protocols for gamete fertilization, larval cultivation, induction of larval settlement by crustose coralline algae, and inoculation of newly settled juveniles with their dinoflagellate symbiont Symbiodinium. Larval rearing densities at or below 0.2 larvae mL-1 were found to maximize larval survival and settlement success in culture tanks while minimizing …

The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) provides several standard test methods for the environmental hazard assessment of chemicals, mainly based on primary producers, arthropods, and fish. In April 2016, two new test guidelines with two mollusc species representing different reproductive strategies were approved by OECD member countries. One test guideline describes a 28-day reproduction test with the parthenogenetic New Zealand mudsnail Potamopyrgus antipodarum. The main endpoint of the test is reproduction, reflected by the embryo number in the brood pouch per female. The development of a new OECD test guideline involves several phases including inter-laboratory validation studies to …

Using Bayesian Networks To Understand Relationships Among Math Anxiety, Genders, Personality Types, And Study Habits At A University In Jordan, Linda Smail Jan 2017

Using Bayesian Networks To Understand Relationships Among Math Anxiety, Genders, Personality Types, And Study Habits At A University In Jordan, Linda Smail

All Works

© 2017 Journal on Mathematics Education.All Rights Reserved. Mathematics is the foundation of all sciences, but most students have problems learning math. Although students' success in life related to their success in learning, many would not take a math course unless it is their university's core requirements. Multiple reasons exist for students' poor performance in mathematics, but one prevalent variable worth consideration is the personality type. This work seeks to uncover relationships, if any, between students' math anxiety and the students' learning type in learning math and preparing for exams and tests. We use Bayesian networks to link those different …

Environmental Vibration Reduction Utilizing An Array Of Mass Scatterers, A. T. Peplow, L. V. Andersen, P. Bucinskas Jan 2017

Environmental Vibration Reduction Utilizing An Array Of Mass Scatterers, A. T. Peplow, L. V. Andersen, P. Bucinskas

All Works

© 2017 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd. Ground vibration generated by rail and road traffic is a major source of environmental noise and vibration pollution in the low-frequency range. A promising and cost effective mitigation method can be the use of heavy masses placed as an array on the ground surface near the road or track (e.g. concrete or stone blocks, specially designed brick walls, etc.). This work concerns the effectiveness of such "blocking" masses. A semi-analytical lumped-parameter method is utilized, assuming that the blocks are point masses situated on an elastic half-space. The work is enhanced by examples …

Cadmium, Lead And Bromine In Beached Microplastics., Angelo Massos, Andrew Turner

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Samples of microplastic (n = 924) from two beaches in south west England have been analysed by field-portable-x-ray fluorescence (FP-XRF) spectrometry, configured in a low-density mode and with a small-spot facility, for the heavy metals, Cd and Pb, and the halogen, Br. Primary plastics in the form of pre-production pellets were the principal type of microplastic (>70%) on both beaches, with secondary, irregularly-shaped fragments representing the remainder of samples. Cadmium and Pb were detected in 6.9% and 7.5% of all microplastics, respectively, with concentrations of either metal that exceeded 10(3) μg g(-1) usually encountered in red and yellow pellets …

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

The Atacama Desert on the western margin of the Central Andes is one of the driest and oldest deserts in the world. It is defined by a distinct and ancient surface, known as the Pacific Paleosurface (PPS) or Atacama Paleosurface. The age of this surface is determined as the time at which sediment deposition ceased, and the surface was effectively abandoned. Early studies suggested that this abandonment took place between 14 and 10 Ma, and was related to both the uplift of the Andes and the onset of hyperaridity in the region. Here we provide a regional re-examination of the …

Should Lip Dosing Be Reconsidered When Performing Open Food Challenges?, Carina Venter, Kate Maslin, Jane Grundy, Gillian Glasbey, Tara Dean Jan 2017

Should Lip Dosing Be Reconsidered When Performing Open Food Challenges?, Carina Venter, Kate Maslin, Jane Grundy, Gillian Glasbey, Tara Dean

School of Nursing and Midwifery

To the Editor, A lip dose or labial food challenge (LFC) is a simple, easy to perform method of diagnosis that could potentially be a convenient alternative to conducting an oral food challenge in children (1). Rance and Dutau (1) published a paper on LFC in 1997 demonstrating their clinical utility, according to the technique described by Moneret-Vautrin et al. (2). This involved a drop of the allergen being placed on the lower lip and left for 10 seconds to two minutes, with the mouth slightly opened. However, in the study by Rance et al. (1), children with positive LFC …

Animal Behaviour: A Very Short Introduction, M Briffa Jan 2017

Animal Behaviour: A Very Short Introduction, M Briffa

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

Animal behaviour: a very short introduction is number 513 in a vast series of very short introductions covering subjects from Accounting to Zionism. These pocket-sized paperbacks are nicely produced and dangerously collectable for those into that sort of thing. One reviewer has described the series as ‘the thinking person’s Wikipedia’ and the stated aim of the series is to provide ‘stimulating ways into new subjects’. So I am going to review Animal behaviour from this perspective: how effective would it be in stimulating a nonspecialist to delve into our field?

Sustainable Production Framework For Cement Manufacturing Firms: A Behavioural Perspective, Sj Childe Jan 2017

Sustainable Production Framework For Cement Manufacturing Firms: A Behavioural Perspective, Sj Childe

Plymouth Business School

Understanding sustainable production is becoming increasingly important for production and operations managers, mainly due to a shortage in natural resources. Sustainability requires many changes in behaviour at all levels. Few studies within the sustainable production literature have empirically disentangled the underlying behavioural concepts of sustainable production. To address this gap, this study utilizes the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) to develop a theoretical framework to explain sustainable production behaviour. Survey data gathered from 128 Indian cement manufacturing units suggest that attitude, subjective norms or social pressures and perceived behavioural control are predictors of the intention for sustainable production which then …

Academic Capitalism In Architecture Schools: A Feminist Critique Of Employability, 24/7 Work And Entrepreneurship, I Troiani Jan 2017

Academic Capitalism In Architecture Schools: A Feminist Critique Of Employability, 24/7 Work And Entrepreneurship, I Troiani

School of Art, Design and Architecture

This chapter examines the current situation that many universities worldwide are facing due to globalisation, which is of transitioning from institutions for education (Foucault’s ‘premodern or medieval university’) toentrepreneurial businesses (the ‘modern university’). The modern university is governed by a neoliberal system of production and consumption of students, staff, knowledge and research for the purpose of improving nation economies. Looking particularly at schools of architecture, it discusses employability, 24-hour work and entrepreneurship in relation to marketisation and economisation. It tracks the inequalities that arise from the neoliberalisation of public universities on teaching content, an administrative-directed work, workloads, wellbeing and gender. …

The Language Of Interaction, Rafael Arrivabene

School of Art, Design and Architecture

Actions, reactions, conditions, and restrictions form the basis of any game. The rules designed to conduct participation and behaviours of players and objects can be understood as a particular language. In an attempt to elucidate an expressive potential that may have been underestimated by game developers and researchers, this paper presents an approximation of game rules to linguistic concepts.
