This thesis looks at a series of stories written for children by Maurice Sendak. They are: Where The Wild Things Are (Chapter 3), In the Night Ki tchen (Chapter 4), Outside Over There (Chapter 5) and Dear Mili (Chapter 6). Through analysis of these works I hoped to find a way of helping young children recognise and work through their fears. As the study progressed, it became apparent that the stories were written less and less to deal with the concerns of young children and more and more to deal...

Copyright law has been created to satisfy a variety of objectives including promoting knowledge in communities and encouraging authors and content producers to create more content. Originally, copyright measurements were proposed as means of controlling access to content. Over time, they have been defined as the degree of control authors or distributors can exercise over their works. Technologists and smart-device manufacturers identified such new rights management market, and invented new encry...

Thermionic refrigeration using semiconductor heterostructures is examined theoretically and experimentally. A theory of single-barrier devices is first developed where two classes of single-barrier devices are defined and compared. So-called class 1 devices are found to always perform better. A theory of multiple-barrier devices based on class 1 barriers is then developed using a numerical solution. Experimentally, three generations of 10-barrier devices based on A1(subscript x)Ga(subscript 1-x)...

This study investigates imagery from twentieth century art presenting the fluctuation of the human psyche, and historical western imagery revealing the mortal condition of human corporeality. The exploration of the interdisciplinary historical aspect of Surrealism (Rubin: 1968, Alexandrian: 1970, Bigsby: 1972), womens art (Orenstein: 1973, Chadwick: 1985), anatomical illustration (Roberts: 1992, Cazort: 1996), and death-related photography (Sante: 1992, Burns: 1990, 1998, OConnor: 1999) is an at...

Rationale: International research has demonstrated that in order to retain a skilled and healthy cadre of willing health-workers there is a need to monitor and develop strategies to mitigate adverse impact of this work and improve the quality and effectiveness of client and patient mental health care. Aims: (i) Monitor and evaluate Thailand’s national HIV mental health and psychosocial care program. (ii) Measure the impact of HIV mental and psychological care on health care providers. (iii) Exam...

This study demonstrates that when upper primary school boys and girls from low socio-economic environments are educated separately in single-gendered classrooms in a co-educational school, there is potential for them to make positive educational and social gains. Moreover, contrary to the accepted, conventional, but untheorised practice of coeducational classrooms. This study demonstrates that the single-gendered primary school class does have the potential to provide a unique learning environme...

In this thesis, I present a series of new scheduling algorithms for an ATM-like crossbar input-queued switching fabric of an IP router. These new scheduling algorithms are developed based on three popular existing scheduling algorithms: Parallel Iterative Matching, Round Robin Matching, and Iterative Round Robin Matching with SLIP. The basic idea of our research is to divide all outputs of the IP router into a few groups. All outputs in the same output group are multiplexed into a high-speed lin...

Over the past century and accelerated since the end of the post WWII manufacturing boom, a number of forces acting upon manufacturing organisations have led to significant changes to underlying manufacturing philosophies used, to the technologies employed and to the manufacturing methods and practices applied. Such forces (Hammer and Champy, 1993, pp. 17) are related to organisational survival factors such as market share and price premiums, cost reductions, quicker response to new market demand...

training of teachers, teaching, beginning teacher

In this study, the discourse about beginning teachers is a central focus. I attempt to unravel the strands of this discourse and juxtapose the voices of beginning teachers with scholarly and authoritative voices which speak about or on behalf of beginning teachers. This thesis attempts to link narrative and narrative theory with critical and cultural theory in order to highlight the nature of this discourse about teachers at career entry. Issues of identity and the ‘process of becoming’ (Britzma...
