Abstract:

On 30 April, 1897, J. J. Thomson announced the results of his previous four months' experiments on cathode rays. The rays, he suggested, were negatively charged subatomic particles. He called the particles ‘corpuscles’. They have since been re-named ‘electrons’ and Thomson has been hailed as their ‘discoverer’. Contrary to the accounts of most later writers, I show that this discovery was not the outcome of a concern with the nature of cathode rays which had occupied Thomson since 1881 and had shaped the course of his experiments during the period 1881–1897. An examination of his work shows th

Abstract:

In their monumental work Flora Indica, Hooker and Thomson (1855) described two new species under the genus Delphinium Linnaeus (1753: 530), namely D. viscosum Hooker f. & Thomson (1855: 52) and D. glaciale Hooker f. & Thomson (1855: 53) from the Sikkim Himalaya. In due course of revisionary studies in the genus Delphinium from India, the taxonomic difficulties associated with D. viscosum were addressed and resolved as a complex (Agnihotri et al., 2016).

Abstract:

As Peter Thomson returns to Australia to begin his second term as head of dentistry, and professor of oral and maxillofacial sciences at James Cook University, he reflects on the genesis, organisation and delivery of an integrated, didactic course in oral and maxillofacial sciences. Comprising previously taught ‘stand-alone’ subjects such as oral pathology, oral medicine, oral and maxillofacial surgery, medicine and surgery, and dental pharmacology and therapeutics, and firmly based on a student-centred comprehensive dental care model, the integrated course focuses on programme clarity, struct

Abstract:

The wave of changes in teaching approaches due to the introduction of the 21 century skills – including creativity and problem solving – has affected not only K through 12 classrooms, but also colleges and universities. Thompson (2014) suggests that when designing courses and curricula college educators should consider not only the content knowledge, skills and dispositions their students need to learn, but also what capacities ought to be developed and through what type of pedagogies. In this article, I propose that pedagogies of engagement are developed and used to teach content and skills i

Abstract:

The ability to accurately predict the course of an epidemic is extremely important. This article looks at an influenza outbreak that spread through a small boarding school. Predictions are made on multiple days throughout the epidemic using the stochastic Galerkin method to consider a range of plausible values for the parameters. These predictions are then compared to known data points. Predictions made before the peak of the epidemic had much larger variances compared to predictions made after the peak of the epidemic.  References B. M. Chen-Charpentier, J. C. Cortes, J. V.

AbstractThis article traces the chequered history of the reception of E.P. Thompson in postwar Japan and tries to assess what kind of impact his thoughts and ideas had on the Japanese intellectual world. In so doing, this article will draw on interviews with several academics in Japan from various generations as well as written documents. The article begins with a survey of postwar left-wing politics in Japan, against which background Thompson was introduced as a New Left thinker. It also considers the National History Movement, whose problematic legacy seemed to condition the reception of The

Besides the clinical aspects of the atypical form presented by our patient, the efficacy of the more available drugs employed for the treatment of myotonia congenita is briefly discussed .

Let ordq (a) be the exponent with which a prime q occurs in the factorization of a rational number a ≠ 0 and, if ordq (a) = 0, let Mq(a) be the multiplicative group generated by a modulo q. In the course of a group-theoretical investigation J. S. Wilson found he needed some results about integers a, b such that Mq(a) = Mq(b), indeed also for algebraic integers, and he proved some of what he needed. J. W. S. Cassels observed that Wilson's argument naturally proved the existence of infinitely many primes q with Mq(a) = Mq(b) for rational integers a, b with ab > 0, |a| > 1, |b| > 1. J. G

Abstract:

Recently, I taught a mathematics methods course for thirty-six preservice elementary school teachers. Taking heed of calls from mathematics educators to ensure that teachers have some understanding of the process of problem solving (e.g., Thompson [1985, 292]), I gave a lot of thought to what to do with such a large class. I wanted to go beyond just presenting the ideas of P6lya and others. I wanted the students to become actively involved and to feel what it means to solve problems.

Abstract:

Jazz pianist McCoy Tyner's improvisation on the theme “Bessie's Blues,” recorded with the John Coltrane Quartet in 1964, exemplifies the traditional Afrodiasporic performance practice of “apart playing.” A formulation of the art historian Robert Farris Thompson, apart playing occurs whenever individual performers enact different, complementary roles in an ensemble setting. For interpretative purposes, the concept helps to provide a cultural context for certain pitch-based formal devices, such as substitute harmonies and playing “outside” an underlying chord or scale, which Tyner uses in the co

This paper presents a theoretical framework for describing childhood psychopathology in terms of coping styles and introduces a scale to measure psychosocial development in young children. It is hypothesized that coping styles characteristic of specific stages of development evolve in a predictable sequence with treatment. The term coping style rather than disorder is used to reflect the opinion that the child's behaviour constitutes an attempt to find a solution to difficulties encountered during the normal course of psychosocial development. These styles of relating are not static. The copin

The EAP placement procedure at Thompson Rivers University (TRU) involves multiple measures to assess the language skills of incoming students, some of which are facilitated and all of which are assessed by ESL faculty. In order to determine the effectiveness of this comprehensive EAP placement process and the effect of the faculty factor, a placement validity study was conducted at TRU. The results revealed that with faculty involvement, the accuracy of course placement ranged from 81% to 84; without it the accuracy of the placement would have decreased to between 44% and 66%, depending on the
