It's cool in there, and the fresh-pressed receptionist invites me to a seat and offers a glass of filtered alkaline water whilst I wait for my chiropractic appointment. When it's my turn, I lie on a table with immaculate white sheets. The chiropractor checks my records and proceeds to expertly manipulate my spine to correct any subluxations. She measures my progress towards a goal of optimal health and records this carefully. After the treatment I make my payment to the receptionist, where I am able to claim a rebate from my private health fund. Down the street, a bit further again and around the corner, is another house. This one has a deeply shaded verandah and is painted leaf green. Inside, maybe, depending on the day, I can find a ngangkari - a traditional Australian Aboriginal healer. My friend has brought me here. He introduces me, for he is an established thread in the weavings of social networks here, and I am not. After a wait, quite a wait, a barefoot woman emerges and glances me over. She gestures for me to enter a room and lie on a treatment table. Her eyes are yellowed, and deeply kind. She speaks to me but I do not understand. She rubs my forehead vigorously, and then my belly. There is a lingering smell of leaf smoke in the air. My condition is temporary, and she assures me my spirit is strong. I do not warrant having a stone sucked from me. After the treatment I make a payment at reception , but I cannot make a claim from my health fund.]]> Wed 29 Aug 2018 16:43:02 AEST ]]> The Audio Recorded Cognitive Screen (ARCS): a flexible and

https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27487 Eucalyptus leucoxylon, E. microcarpa, E. polyanthemos and E. tricarpa. The DWT is used as a correlational method, and proposed as a new metric for synchronisation and visualisation for a multidimensional time series. The wavelet based results are compared to Moran's traditional synchronisation test and to a self organising map time series clustering approach. The Maximal Overlap DWT analysis successfully identify four subcomponents in each flowering series characterised as a (i) non-flowering phase (dl), (ii) duration (d2), (iii) annual (d3) and (iv) intensity (d4) cycles. The wavelet correlation (WCORR) signatures are shown to exhibit a common pattern for synchronous species pairs, for example d2, d3 and d4 WCORR values being significant and positive for E. leucoxylon and E. tricarpa whereas for species pairs that are asynchronous the d2 and d3 specific WCORR values are significant and negative for E. tricarpa and E. polyanthemos. The profiles of wavelet cross correlation (WCCORR) enable us to further understand how synchrony may relate to the subcomponents of flowering (peak annual cycles, start, cessation, duration, overlap) and climate. The positive periods of the WCCORR profiles for d2 reflect flowering overlap between species pairs. The d3 WCCORR's peak at the lag which is the difference between the species pair's peak flowering months. Distinctly different patterns for d3 WCCORR are associated with asynchronous and synchronous time series. The sinusoidal and cycling of the d3 specific WCCORR profiles mirror the cyclic 6 monthly climatic influence on species flowering, where for 6 months if temperature is positively correlated with flowering, rainfall is negative and vice versa.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:25:40 AEDT ]]> Application of low energy ion scattering to alloy surfaces and surface alloys https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:3829 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:22:27 AEDT ]]> Packaging systems for probiotic foods https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25210 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:14:03 AEDT ]]> Organisational factors influencing the return to work process for injured workers: using social theory to inform practice https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25185 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:13:58 AEDT ]]>
