Chapter 1, entitled "The Scottish Tradition", builds on the early twentieth-century consensus that Lorimer had resuscitated a moribund Scottish tradition of design. While critics have examined the Scottish roots of Lorimer's architecture, the native sources of his furniture design have received little corresponding attention. This section aims to demonstrate the ways in which Lorimer's interest in historical Scottish architecture and woodwork informed his interior and furniture design. In particular, his use of vernacular and regional forms is juxtaposed with the revival of traditional types and motifs he shared with contemporary designers. Complementing a concern with indigenous design is Lorimer's interest in continental antique furniture. Lorimer's personal collection, and those of his clients, may be identified as formative in the development of his design. Chapter 2 examines the main sources, against the social background of Scottish furniture and interior design during the period. The circumstances of the commissions discussed here reveal Lorimer's combination of the roles of architect and interior designer, the focus of Chapter 3 on Lorimer's wide-ranging activities at Balmanno Castle, Perthshire. Chapter 4 seeks to redress the balance between Lorimer as traditionalist and agent for reform, particularly in the area of design education. It will be argued that his own design innovations were secondary to the latter achievement. His attitudes to industrial design and handcraft are considered here, which leads to the final chapter on workmanship. This section is comprised of an in-depth study of Lorimer's working relationship with the executants of his designs; the variant use of handwork and machinework is discussed, and finally some attempt is made to discern and acknowledge the peculiar contributions of designer and workmen.

Previous studies have suggested that participation in psychosocial support groups such as the Foundation House (Clubhouse) model have psychological benefits for patients with major mental disorders. In this research, 47 members of the Lorikeet Clubhouse in Shenton Park, WA completed the Brief Symptom Inventory, the Level of Expressed Emotion Scale and the Coping Scale for Adults to investigate whether differences existed between active and inactive Clubhouse members. Analyses of variance found no group differences on these measures, although trends in the data suggest that Clubhouse participation have a protective effect for members who report high levels of expressed emotion (EE) in their home. These conclusions are tentative due to the small sample size. Members perceived the Clubhouse to have lower levels of EE than their home environments, however these measures were correlated.

In this article I explore the work of Lorine Niedecker, a poet not conventionally associated with disability studies, in order to flesh out an account of the function of visual disability in midcentury poetics and praxis. To do this I read Niedecker’s formative sequence “For Paul,” the late long poem “Wintergreen Ridge,” and other poems, through deformative practices in the belief that such an engagement shows how Niedecker’s hybrid objectivist praxis can be integrated with critical models of disability studies. Such an integration is then bodied forth in what I’m calling a “nystagmic poetics.” In such a poetics, the physical eye unseats ableist models of untroubled optical agency, such as those found in imagist and objectivist poetry, and extends the relevance of its revised understanding of visual modality to all bodies. Thus nystagmic poetics responds to the call to substantially address the fact of disability and to consider whether a more fully imagined poetics of partial sight is a productive critical lens for thinking about literature.

Chez loripes lucinalis, il existe une tres forte colonisation de la branchie par des bacteries sulfooxydantes a raison de 2 0,1 x 10#1#0 microorganismes par gramme de tissu ce qui represente une occupation de 55 8% de la surface branchiale dans la region bacteriocytaire. Cette region est composee de bacteriocytes et de cellules intermediaires. Au sein des bacteriocytes, les bacteries sont progressivement lysees. L'analyse du rapport isotopique #1#3c/#1#2c suggere qu'une moyenne de 63% de l'alimentation carbonee de l. Lucinalis est assuree par les bacteries. Plusieurs emissions gametiques se produisent au cours de l'annee et les facteurs environnementaux classiques ne concordent pas avec les phases de developpement gonadique et d'emission des cellules sexuelles. De large cellules folliculaires seraient impliquees dans le transfert de metabolites vers les ovocytes qui proviendraient de la glande digestive ainsi que de la branchie dont les periodes de lyse bacterienne importante correspondent aux periodes de gametogenese femelle. Les resultats histologiques et enzymatiques de la glande digestive indiquent que les apports nutritionnels par voie heterotrophique ne sont pas negligeables. Les variations de l'activite amylasique au cours de l'annee semblent dependre de la temperature et de la disponibilite de nourriture mais non aux efforts reproducteurs du bivalve. Il est suggere que la majeure partie de l'energie necessaire a la gametogenese est assuree par les bacteries symbiotiques de la branchie

Urbanisation typically results in homogenisation of the constituent avifauna, as generalists that are able to adapt to and persist within the urban landscape replace specialist species whose specific habitat needs are removed. Recently, within some major urban centres, parrots have become a conspicuous component of the avifauna, present in higher abundance in the urban landscape than in the natural environment. This thesis examines the composition and distribution of the parrot community within a large urban centre and evaluates the relative importance of key abiotic and biotic factors that may explain the increase in abundance of urban parrots. I demonstrated that parrot species were present in higher abundance within the urban landscape, compared to natural habitat and that, historically, both drought and wild fire resulted in an influx of some parrot species into the urban landscape. I demonstrated that the standing crop of nectar was consistently higher within streetscapes compared to the non-urban habitat and is capable of sustaining large populations of large-bodied nectarivores. I also demonstrated that trees within the urban landscape produce more flowers and flower for longer than the same species of tree outside the urban landscape. I showed that there were significantly more visitations to hollows by parrots within the urban landscape, compared to forest, as well as significantly more aggressive interactions. My results demonstrate that the urban landscape is capable of sustaining a diverse community of native parrots, particularly nectarivores such as the rainbow lorikeet. The urban landscape provides food resources in excess of that found in natural habitat, however nesting resources are fewer compared to natural habitat. My research suggest that there may be a shortage of tree hollows and I discuss how, if the density of parrots continues to increase, there may be a simplification in the current avifauna due to a shortage of breeding resources.

Slow lorises (Nycticebus spp.) are small-bodied nocturnal primates found throughout South-east Asia. All slow lorises are threatened by habitat loss and trade for pets and traditional medicine. They are easily distinguishable from other primates by a myriad of unique morphological, behavioural, physiological and ecological characteristics, yet are amongst the least-known of all primates. During February 2010 and March 20111 assisted a reintroduction programme for slow lorises initiated by International Animal Rescue (IARI) at their rescue centre in Java, Indonesia. Throughout the reintroduction process, I collected data that would enhance the reintroduction process, but also provide a deeper understanding of their behaviour, ecology and evolution. I analyse data compiled by IARI over a four year period revealing demographic trends in slow lorises admitted to the rescue centre and discuss the role that rescue centres and reintroduction programmes have in regard to their contribution to conservation. Rescue centres working in collaboration with local governments have the potential to help mitigate trade through ensuring better enforcement and awareness campaigns. I conclude that they do have an important role in conservation. I examine the presence of stereotypic behaviours at IARI in relation to various intrinsic and extrinsic factors. 33% of slow lorises displayed stereotypies. Time in captivity and type of social group are shown to be significant predictors of stereotypies. For better welfare in captivity and for increased reintroduction success these findings should be addressed further. I monitored six reintroduced Javan slow lorises on Mount Salak, Java using radio telemetry. Of the feeding observations noted, floral nectar of Calliandra calothyrsus comprised 90% of the total. A ii combination of excessive flower visitation, non-destructive feeding and pollen observed on the faces of lorises suggests potential pollination of this species and reveals possible evolutionary implications. I analysed 89 photos of slow loris face masks in relation to antipredator defence. I conclude that the pelage colours recorded have probably evolved for maximum signalling effect. When combined with the slow lorises' chemical defence mechanism I propose that the distinctive facemasks in slow lorises could serve as a form of aposematism. I postulate that the Javan and Bengal slow lorises actively mimic the spectacled cobra (Naja naja). Although the evidence appears to support this theory, more studies are necessary for validation. In conclusion, I believe that my study has shown that rescue centres are an untapped resource for conservation, awareness and learning. They often house a multitude of exotic and threatened species that are not common in zoos and difficult to study in the wild. By studying these animals in close proximity we can learn a great deal about improving captive welfare, conservation and evolution.

This thesis challenges the view of many historians that the natural law and natural rights tradition, while flourishing in the Enlightenment period, disappeared in nineteenth-century Britain with the expansion of the role of positive law, only to reappear post-World War II in human rights discourse. The focus of historians of political thought on canonical figures, Jeremy Bentham, John Austin, and John Stuart Mill, all of whom were antagonistic to the natural law and rights tradition has led them to fail to appreciate not only the continued role of natural law and rights but its development of a post-Enlightenment accommodation with positive law, resulting in a more pragmatic understanding of natural law. The examination of non-canonical figures who were nevertheless important in their time reveals the continued role of natural law as positive law expanded. The thesis is developed through the analysis of figures in areas where natural law was significant: Jurisprudence; the Law of Nations or International Law; and Spiritual Life. Jurisprudence was the area in which theorists of natural law mounted direct opposition to the theories of Jeremy Bentham, John Austin, and John Stuart Mill. The writers investigated include Charles Foster, an early nineteenth century proponent of natural law through his writings and lectures; the Scotsman, James Lorimer, writer and lecturer on jurisprudence and law of nations; and the Irish Catholic lawyer Denis Caufeild Heron. In International Law the advocates of natural law theory were Robert Phillimore, judge of the High Court of Admiralty; Travers Twiss and George Bowyer as civil lawyers; and James Lorimer. Writers on Natural Law in Spiritual Life, included Henry Drummond, lecturer and ecclesiast; George Combe, phrenologist; and John Seeley, historian; who were in conflict with churchmen over the church’s exclusive right to interpret religious teaching and the appropriate relationship between natural law and religion.

Traditional feminist readings have valued women's writing that voices silenced experiences. In contrast, other twentieth-century theoretical formulations regard absences, refusals, and silences as constitutive of aesthetic practice rather than as imposed upon it. This dissertation attends carefully to how U.S. women writers approach the nonlinguistic, accounting for how they have been silenced as well as for the kinds of silencing that women poets themselves perform. It argues that U.S. women's experimental poetry is driven by contradictory relationships to language and silence: in one strain, gendered cultural repression spurs American women poets to push language into new territory, often figured as speaking out. But in another mode, female identification with the nonrational or nonlinguistic, whether externally enforced or strategically inhabited, impels women to develop poetic silences in order to resist the impositions of language on a feminized other. Meeting these simultaneous and opposed goals--creating poetic forms capable of greater expressive range while signaling the inadequacy of linguistic expression--necessitates formal experimentation. My primary claim that an unresolved ambivalence toward the nonlinguistic drives innovation dictates an emphasis on formal technique, including syntax, rhyme and meter, sentence and stanza structure, and figuration. This attention to poetic particulars grounds my contextualization of the work of each poet I consider--Emily Dickinson, Lorine Niedecker, and Gwendolyn Brooks--in relation to her own life, to broader literary and cultural histories, and to poststructuralist theories of language. The first chapter of my dissertation explores the role that early American, particularly Puritan and Transcendental, attitudes toward wilderness shape poetic motivations both to extend and limit the reach of language throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In subsequent chapters, I evaluate how those motivations change in the context of Dickinson's nineteenth-century spirituality, Niedecker's modernist and postmodernist anxieties about the role of the poet, and Brooks's engagement with the politics and aesthetics of black nationalism. Reading U.S. women's poetic innovation as simultaneously breaking and cultivating silences opens a dialogue among historically feminist understandings of silence as oppressive, theories that put silence at the heart of poetic impulse, and avant-garde theoretical conceptions of linguistic experimentation as a feminist project.

Internet Protocol multicast has been standardised since the late 1980's, but is yet to be extensively deployed by most Internet Service Providers. Many organisations are not willing to bear the additional router CPU load and memory requirements that multicast entails, and the IP multicast suite of protocols requires deployment on every router spanned by the multicast group to operate. Additionally, these protocols are predominantly designed for the general case of multiple-source, multiple-receiver transmission and can be complex and inefficient to use in simpler scenarios. Single-source streaming of multimedia on the Internet is rapidly becoming a very popular application, and is predominantly being served by content providers using simultaneous unicast streams. A multicast transmission protocol designed for this application that can operate without requiring a widely deployed IP multicast infrastructure has the potential to save content-providers and network service providers significant amounts of bandwidth. This protocol should provide packet duplication and forwarding capabilities on routers in the network, rather than pushing this functionality to the receivers themselves, requiring them to become part of the multicast infrastructure. We describe Lorikeet, a new protocol for the multicast distribution of multimedia streams from a single source. This protocol builds its multicast tree from the source, discovering routers that support the protocol in the network and using them to provide branching in the tree. The tree itself is managed in a decentralised fashion, with joining receivers finding parent routers through a limited, recursive search of the tree. On a participating node, information about the tree's structure is limited to the addresses of that node's children and its path through the tree back to the source. Unlike most other multicast protocols, a new receiver is connected to the tree using its forward path from the source and packets are delivered through the tree via hop-by-hop delivery over unicast connections between nodes. Lorikeet also actively maintains the tree structure using a localised rearrangement algorithm triggered by a topological change in the tree structure. This rearrangement allows the tree to remain efficient in the face of changes to the receiver population, which can change the shape of the tree over time. Lorikeet is designed to operate with no further protocol support than that provided by existing Internet unicast protocols. It requires none of the standard IP multicast infrastructure, such as Class D group addressing. Its use of unicast connections between nodes allows it to be deployed incrementa.lly on the network, and its behaviour will degrade to simultaneous unicast when no routers that support the protocol are present at all. However, significant performance gains can be achieved even when there are only a few supporting routers present in the network: Lorikeet produces trees with half the cost of a unicast tree when just 10% of routers are Lorikeet-capable. Lorikeet's tree construction and rearrangement algorithms generate multicast trees of comparable total cost to those created by algorithms of considerably higher message complexity, such as those that employ exhaustive searches of the tree during joins. We develop the Lorikeet protocol from a set of requirements based on its target application and the properties of the current Internet. After describing the protocol's behaviour, we analyse its message complexity and its performance in terms of tree cost. We also analyse several other multicast protocols from the research literature, comparing their performance to that of Lorikeet in both complete deployment and incremental deployment scenarios.

The aim of this diploma thesis is to find and evaluate decisive operational and economic indicators in a statistically significant group of trucks. They have a high level of chance and are therefore very difficult to determine in advance. These operating and economic indicators included repair and maintenance costs obtained from invoices, financial statements and the results of transport companies' operations. These costs were monitored for the time of operation of these trucks.

Australian fruit growers face huge losses due to the damage sustained from flying vertebrate pests such as birds and flying foxes. Growers spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in combating these pests due to the strict stipulations by the Department of Environment and Resource Management requiring all deterrent measures to be non-lethal. Some of the counter measures include canopy netting, tunnel netting, odour repellents, sounds, lights, scare guns, fruit bags and chemicals. These methods involve high capital and periodic maintenance costs and are rendered ineffective over a period of time since these pests are intelligent enough to find ways to overcome such obstacles. Thus, fruit growers are trying to find more effective methods to control the problem while trying to minimize their costs. Emerging trends in this area, particularly in the United States of America (USA), include the use of drones, automatic detection and warning systems, which in turn, can trigger a particular type of deterrent system and thereby protect crops. Infrared/laser scanning technologies has been found effective in detecting pests in small confined areas. Such technologies are usually customised to suit a particular geographical area and also the type of flying vertebrate pests being combated. This project is geared towards the development of a detection system which can effectively detect the presence of lorikeets in a lychee orchard in the Burnett region. Acoustic detection of bird species in the field environment is a challenging endeavour due to a complex mix of sound sources. Although there are several approaches to detect them, they are effective in only some particular situations. For example, infrared technology is effective in detecting pests in small confined area because of number of hardware components required while visual observation techniques require large amount of processing power. This shortcoming has prompted a study into the development of a sensor unit that can effectively detect flying vertebrate pests like lorikeets within the specified range under conditions typically found in lychee orchards. In this research, a new portable sensing device which uses a combination of acoustic sensors that can be used trigger a beacon or a sound whenever lorikeets are detected, was used. This sensor was tested during the lychee season of 2015/16 and has been found to be effective in detecting lorikeets up to 20 metres, with the detection rate ranging from 71% to 30% in the range of 2 metres to 12 metres. The detection system was customized to be effective in a specified range to detect lorikeet calls in lychee orchards. It is very cost effective and portable. Further, this is the first time that such a detection system has been used in a lychee orchard in the Wide Bay Burnett region and in wider Australia itself. These preliminary efforts possess great potential to explore the development of such devices to entail better crop management practices in the region.

This thesis will look at the various images of the American Far West presented by the Saturday Evening Post during the 1920s under the editorship of George Horace Lorimer, and will examine his editorial strategy that promoted the Far West as a last land of opportunity while also recognizing and weighing in on the challenges of that region.
