Abstract:
Environmental education is a relatively young area that can trace its roots back to the global environmental crises of the late 1960s and 1970s. Research in environmental education since this time has established the justification for its existence in the formal curriculum of schools. Less research has been conducted on the actual pedagogy of environmental education. This forms one part of the justification for this research study. The other justification for this research study is school students' objectification of the environment evidenced from the findings of a large survey of NSW school s

Online learning environments are being increasingly utilised in academic settings, with many universities developing online and blended programmes (Adekola, 2016).

The aim of this study is to determine youths' level of understanding of selected environmental concepts measured by their verbal responses. With the hypothesis being that youth would be able to observe their environment and note differences and similarities, with a basic understanding of concepts, especially those in the school curriculum but unable to take this further by hypothesising on why differences occur which is more typical of youth of ages 15 years and above. Youth would especially struggle to hypothesise theoretical and abstract concepts as opposed to describing what they observe. I

In this work we develop optical flow templates. In doing so, we introduce a practical tool for inferring robot egomotion and semantic superpixel labeling using optical flow in imaging systems with arbitrary optics. In order to do this we develop valuable understanding of geometric relationships and mathematical methods that are useful in interpreting optical flow to the robotics and computer vision communities. This work is motivated by what we perceive as directions for advancing the current state of the art in obstacle detection and scene understanding for mobile robots. Specifically, many

Clostridium difficile is an important nosocomial pathogen that causes significant human morbidity and mortality. The environment is a natural reservoir for C. difficile where it is found in soils, rivers, and other natural settings. It is not clear whether these strains are active, or present as a result of human contamination. To address this, the physiological characterisation of isogenic pairs was tested to determine if strains from the environment had different properties to those derived from a clinical setting. Clinical strains were less motile but produced more toxins and spores than en

It is vitally important to know how clouds will respond to these changed thermodynamic conditions.

Abstract:
[Truncated abstract] The aim of this research was to define key species-environment relationships to better understand the spatial ecology of demersal fish. To help understand these relationships a combination of multivariate analyses, landscape analysis and species distribution models were employed. Of particular interest was to establish the scale at which these species respond to their environment. With recent high resolution surveying and mapping of the benthos in five of Victoria's Marine National Parks (MNPs), full coverage bathymetry, terrain data and accurate predicted benthic habitat

Abstract:
This research explores the Home Language and Literacy Environment (HLLE) of pre-­‐ schoolers from a sample of low socio-­‐economic (SES) Chilean urban households, to examine how it fosters their familiarity with the school literacy register and supports their acquisition of language and literacy skills. Four specific measures of these skills were examined: vocabulary, letter and word identification, spelling and text comprehension. A comprehensive theoretical model of the HLLE and its influence on these skills was built. This included meso influences (caregivers’ values, beliefs and expectatio

Abstract:
<p> This mixed-model study utilized the qualitative and quantitative data from high school teachers of one middle Tennessee school district and high school teachers of the Tennessee High School Speech and Drama League to determine if differences existed amongst the learning preferences of high school teachers in adult learning environments. All participants completed the Canfield Learning Styles Inventory to provide quantitative data. Members of an executive board completed a focus group questionnaire to provide qualitative data for the study. The study led to a recommendation that developers

Abstract:
Obesity prevention interventions targeting the built environment are an emerging area of research, but few studies have been applied in rural communities or among preschool-aged children, despite being high-priority populations. This study aimed to identify barriers to accessing nutritious foods and physical activity opportunities from the perspectives of parents of preschoolers living in low-income, rural communities. A mixed methods study design guided by a social ecological model incorporated quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to gain a comprehensive understanding of the rural
