Facilitating the wise use of experts and evidence to inform local environmental decisions
CJ MacLeod, AJ Brandt, LV Dicks
May 09, 2022
Abstract: Using biodiversity management within New Zealand's agricultural landscape as a case study, we apply ‘boundary science’ approaches to overcome two persistent deficiencies in environmental decision‐making: ‘evidence...
Giving stakeholders a voice in governance
Abstract: Mainstreaming biodiversity across government and society is recognised by international policy as critical to achieving positive conservation outcomes. With ‘participatory governance’ increasingly being applied to...
The Accuracy and Validity of the Simplified Pairs Method of Comparative Judgement in Highly Structured Papers
Comparative judgement (CJ) is often said to be more suitable for judging exam questions inviting extended responses, as it is easier for judges to make holistic judgements on a small number of large, extended tasks than...
Introduction
We are grateful for the opportunity to work on Mapping Politics, the peer-reviewed political science journal of Memorial University. This volume has excellent scholarship that will be exposed to a wider audience than ever.This...
Large diameter total hip arthroplasty modular heads require greater assembly forces for initial stability
OBJECTIVES: Modular junctions are ubiquitous in contemporary hip arthroplasty. The head-trunnion junction is implicated in the failure of large diameter metal-on-metal (MoM) hips which are the currently the topic of one the...

In silico identification of Theileria parva surface proteins.
East Coast Fever is a devastating African cattle disease caused by the apicomplexan parasite, Theileria parva. Little is known about the cell surface, and few proteins have been identified. Here, we take an in silico approach to...

Emotional mental imagery generation during spontaneous future thinking
Optimism is known to buffer against negative mood. Thus, understanding the factors that contribute to individual variation in optimism may inform interventions for mood disorders. Preliminary evidence suggests that the...
Characterizing optimal sampling of binary contingency tables via the configuration model
Jose Blanchet, A Stauffer
Mar 01, 2013
A binary contingency table is an m × n array of binary entries with row sums r = (r1,..., rm) and column sums c = (c1,..., cn). The configuration model generates a contingency table by considering ri tokens of type 1 for each...
DNA preserved in jetsam whale ambergris.
Jetsam ambergris, found on beaches worldwide, has always been assumed to originate as a natural product of sperm whales (Physeteroidea). However, only indirect evidence has ever been produced for this, such as the presence of...

Effectiveness of Digital Tools to Support Pupils' Reading in Secondary School
Engagement with reading falls around the age of 11 or 12, and there is widespread concern with levels of literacy amongst adolescents. Most research examines how digital tools facilitate preschoolers' reading or reading...
Referential focus moderates depression-linked attentional avoidance of positive information.
While there is consensus that depression is associated with a memory bias characterized by reduced retrieval of positive information that is restricted to information that had been self-referentially processed, there is less...
Spontaneous cognition in dysphoria
Anomalies in future-oriented cognition are implicated in the maintenance of emotional disturbance within cognitive models of depression. Thinking about the future can involve mental imagery or verbal-linguistic mental...
