Abstract:

At Cape Gantheaume, Kangaroo Island (South Australia), adult male, lactating female and juvenile New Zealand (NZ) and Australian fur seals regularly return to the same colony, creating the potential for intra- and inter-specific foraging competition in nearby waters. I hypothesised that these demographic groups would exhibit distinct foraging strategies, which reduce competition and facilitate their coexistence. I analysed the diet of adult male, adult female and juvenile NZ fur seals and adult male Australian fur seals and studied the diving behaviour of adult male and lactating female NZ fur

Abstract:

Supervised classification of satellite imagery largely removes the user from the information extraction process. Visualisation is an often ignored means by which users may interactively explore the complex patterns and relationships in satellite imagery. Classification can be considered a 'hypothesis testing' form of analysis. Visual Data Mining allows for dynamic hypothesis generation, testing and revision based on a human user's perception. In this study Visual Data Mining was applied to the classification of satellite imagery. After reviewing appropriate techniques and literature a tool wa

Abstract:

This thesis analyzes H. G. Wells’s The Island of Doctor Moreau and Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness within the context of nineteenth-century evolutionary theory. I explore how Charles Darwin and Thomas Huxley used evolution by natural selection to develop differing explanations of the origins of ethics and how this impacted the place each scientist gave morality in civilization. By exploring how Huxley and Darwin understood morality to derive from the phenomena of sympathy and restrain, I illustrate how Wells’s and Conrad’s novellas interrogate these discourses of altruism.

Abstract:

This study is concerned with the representation of women in leadership positions in Solomon Islands. In particular, it explores the educational leadership experiences of women working in Solomon Islands' secondary schools. While much research to date has been carried out in the developed and developing countries, very little has been undertaken in Melanesian countries. As such, we know very little about women's experiences in educational leadership in Melanesia. Research data was gathered using qualitative methods. Specifically, interviews were conducted with eight women, five were deputy prin

Abstract:

Public administration literature lacks richness and context regarding the moral history of the founding of the field in the early 1900s. As a result, current calls for "recapturing the soul" of public administration have failed to stimulate a theory-or even a working understanding-of how to "rehydrate" the observed desiccation of public life and revivify the concept of the public interest. In correcting the historical record, this dissertation shows that the "soul" of public administration stemmed from the field's deep roots in the social gospel movement of the

Conrad's description and the sense of space in his texts have long intrigued readers, critics and even fellow authors. Within the context of the complexities of Modemism, understanding the relationship between Conrad's description, space and spiritual identity is imperative for an understanding the complex fabric of his work. This dissertation is an attempt to investigate this intriguing dynamic in three of his texts, namely An Outcast of the Islands (1 896), Lord Jim (1 goo), and "Heart of Darkness" (1 899).

These utopias always exist in some "far away" place, whether this place be removed in terms of time (either as a nostalgically remembered past, or an idealistically projected future), or in terms of space (as a place that one must arrive at). In our attempts to attain these utopias, we construct our worlddefinitions in accordance with our projections of these ideal places and ways of "being".

Abstract:

Étudier le système éducatif ou la pédagogie au Liban impose une différenciation de ce qui peut être écrit en France, au Canada ou dans d’autres pays du monde occidental ou oriental. La société libanaise constitue en effet une société pluraliste au niveau politique ainsi qu’au niveau religieux. Au Liban coexistent deux grandes religions, le christianisme et l’islam. Cette coexistence au sein d’un même pays implique, de par son histoire des rapports entre deux grandes religions, deux conceptions de l’homme et deux cultures différentes, dont l’une trouve sa pleine expression dans la civilisation

Abstract:

Heard Island is located in one of the more isolated regions of the southern Indian Ocean at 53°06' S 73°30 E. There are 29 glacerised basins on Heard Island, which cover 70% of this 367 km2 island. Changes in the positions of Heard Island's glaciers, and by inference, changes in the region's climate, have been recorded only intermittently since the establishment of the first Australian base in 1947. In the 1950s the majority of these glaciers were stable or slightly thinning until a marked retreat began in the early 1960s. The retreat from the 1960s has continued through the last recorded obse

Abstract:

The global imperative to sustainably manage deep-sea bottom fisheries and mitigate impacts to benthic habitats is constrained by the limited existing biological data available to inform decisionmaking. Physical surrogacy, where benthic biodiversity is characterised based on its relationship with environmental parameters, was explored as a means of extrapolating the distribution and biomass of benthic species from sample sites to seascapes of the deep-sea. The evaluation of surrogates focused on those benthic species considered most susceptible to disturbance from bottom fishing gears including

Abstract:

This study used data collected during the 2003/04 Heard Island Predator Prey Investigation and Ecosystem Study (HIPPIES project). It is the first study to directly compare diet, foraging, and prey-field dynamics with energetics of macaroni penguins (Eudyptes chrysolophus) around Heard Island. Diet and foraging dynamics were evaluated for the guard and crèche stages of breeding macaroni penguins from Heard Island. Diet changed significantly between the two stages (p < 0.005), from a diet dominated by krill (83%) in the guard stage, to a more variable diet in the crèche stage (43% krill, 33% fi

The upper boundary condition of the aquifer is represented by an equation combining the simplified free surface equation with a leakage term. Such an equation is considered as a general expression representing the upper boundary condition of confined, unconfined, or leaky confined aquifers. The closed-form solution of the model represented by two series terms is then developed by the direct Fourier method and finite Fourier

This thesis explores dance through the lens of performance, globalization, gender and postcolonialism. It also relies on contemporary Pacific scholarship to argue about the centrality of active agency in cultural production. Cook Islands dancing is not simply a reflection past and present gendered cultural politics. Throughout, I argue that the mediational power of expressive practices actively produces the modalities through which regional and local identities engage with broader global processes. Dance, I suggest, is a generative process which occupies the hearts, minds and bodies of many Co

The Stanley Head region of western Cornwallis Island, Nunavut is located southeast and along strike from the Late Devonian Zn-Pb Polaris mine. The area incorporates Middle Ordovician - Lower Devonian strata that is folded and faulted and constitutes a part of the Lower Devonian Cornwallis fold belt. 1:15000 scale mapping of the Stanley Head region led to the identification of previously unrecognized shallow level folds and thrust faults that collectively define the Stanley Head anticline.

This thesis is very much a personal exploration in the sense that I have come to understand myself as implicated in a treaty relationship and wish to know my obligations under these agreements. In my interpretation of the Manitoulin Island treaties, I employ a strategy developed by Dr. Michael Asch that begins with the Indigenous understandings. Within t

Abstract:

Acute rheumatic fever (ARF) and rheumatic heart disease (RHD) are auto-immune conditions associated with prior exposure to Group A streptococcus (GAS). ARF is an acute condition associated with fever and joint, brain, skin and heart inflammation. RHD is its chronic sequela and is characterised by permanent heart valve damage which can, in turn, lead to heart failure and an increased risk of endocarditis and stroke. To avoid such complications interventions may be required to repair or replace damaged valves. ARF and RHD are preventable diseases rarely encountered in mainstream Australia. Ho
