Energy and material are continually exchanged at the interfaces between water and air, ice, rocks, and sediments. In addition to the physical and chemical processes, biological processes play a significant role. Vast areas of the ocean remain unexplored. Investigation of the surface ocean is carried out by satellites. All other observations and measurements have to be carried out in-situ using research vessels and spe- cial instruments. Ocean observation requires the use of special technologies such as remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), towed camera systems etc. Seismic methods provide the foundation for mapping the bottom topography and sedimentary structures. We cordially welcome you to the international OCEANS ’09 conference and exhibition, to the world’s leading conference and exhibition in ocean science, engineering, technology and management. OCEANS conferences have become one of the largest professional meetings and expositions devoted to ocean sciences, technology, policy, engineering and education. -

Radio-Electronics in Education
RADIO ELECTRONICS Published by Department of Information RADIO CORPORATION OF AMERICA 30 ROCKEFELLER PLAZA, NEW YORK, N. Y. FOREWORD 1 1 is booklet presents briefly the various types of aid which radio, both as a science and as a system of communication, renders to the cause of education. DI Education is as old as civilization itself; radio is one of civili- zation's newest products. It is therefore too early to appraise the ultimate extent or influence of their relationship. Enough has already been accomplished, however, both in the field of broadcasting and in the use of new educational techniques made possible by radio research, to prove that the importance of radio in the educational field is profound and far-reaching. New developments in radio and electronics, such as televi- sion and the electron microscope, are of the utmost significance to the future of education. It may be argued that the future of education is of slight interest when civilization is locked in a life-and-death struggle with forces which seek to destroy it. On the contrary, I believe it is a subject of major importance at this time. For the civilization of free men and women will triumph in this war, and the vital need for wise, courageous leadership will be more insistent in the post-war generation than ever before in historv. The education of both adults and children — and of the many, not the few — will stronglv influence the choice of poli- cies and of leaders capable of establishing and maintaining a better world for all humanity. -

1 The Ecology of Fringe Science and its Bearing on Policy Harry Collins, Andrew Bartlett and Luis Reyes-Galindo School of Social Sciences, Cardiff University1 emails: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Introduction Fringe science has been an important topic since the start of the revolution in the social studies of science that occurred in the early 1970s.2 As a softer-edged model of the sciences developed, fringe science was a ‘hard case’ on which to hammer out the idea that scientific truth was whatever came to count as scientific truth: scientific truth emerged from social closure. The job of those studying fringe science was to recapture the rationality of its proponents, showing how, in terms of the procedures of science, they could be right and the mainstream could be wrong and therefore the consensus position is formed by social agreement. One outcome of this way of thinking is that sociologists of science informed by the perspective outlined above find themselves short of argumentative resources for demarcating science from non-science. The distinction with traditional philosophy of science, which readily demarcates fringe subjects such as parapsychology by referring to their ‘irrationality’ or some such, is marked.3 For the sociologist of scientific knowledge, that kind of demarcation comprises 1 This paper is joint work by researchers supported by two grants: ESRC to Harry Collins, (RES/K006401/1) £277,184, What is scientific consensus for policy?

Influência De Jerome Bruner Na Teoria Da Aprendizagem Musical De Edwin Gordon
INFLUÊNCIA DE JEROME BRUNER NA TEORIA DA APRENDIZAGEM MUSICAL DE EDWIN GORDON Ricardo Dourado Freire [email protected] Departamento de Música da Universidade de Brasília Verônica Gomes Archanjo de Oliveira Silva [email protected] Resumo Neste artigo é realizadas uma análise teórica dos Níveis e Subníveis de Competências musicais estabelecidos por Edwin Gordon (1997) a partir dos fundamentos teóricos para elaboração de teorias de aprendizagem propostos por Jerome Bruner (1965). A compreen- são das idéias de Bruner serve para elucidar aspectos estruturais da Teoria da Aprendiza- gem Musical de Gordon e permite o esclarecimento de procedimentos e propostas de Gor- don dentro da perspectiva da psicologia cognitiva. Palavras-chave : Aprendizagem Musical, Jerome Bruner, Edwin Gordon. O pesquisador estadunidense Edwin Gordon desenvolveu nos últimos 50 anos uma extensa obra nas áreas de psicologia da música e educação musical. Sua trajetória acadê- mica passa pelo doutoramento na University of Iowa (1958), atuação como docente na University of Iowa, 1958-1973, na State University of New York at Buffalo (SUNY- Buf- falo), 1973-1979, até sua permanência na Carl Seashore Chair for Research in Music Edu- cation da Temple University entre 1979 e sua aposentadoria em 1997. Durante sua trajetó- ria acadêmica publicou 94 livros, com traduções em português, italiano e lituano, além de ter orientado aproximadamente 40 dissertações de doutorado. Sua carreira como pesquisa- dor nas áreas de psicologia da música e educação musical influenciaram toda uma corrente de pesquisa na linha de música. Nesta abordagem, os processos cognitivo-musicais são observados a partir de uma estrutura seqüencial de desenvolvimento que aplica à área de música a proposta teórica de Jerome Bruner publicada em Toward a Theory of Instruction (1965) Nos primeiros anos de pesquisas na Univeristy of Iowa, Gordon inicia um profundo estudo sobre a aptidão musical e os processos que influenciam o desenvolvimento musical do indivíduo baseado nos trabalhos de Seashore e Drake. -
Routledge Handbook of Diplomacy and Statecraft
Routledge Handbook of Diplomacy and Statecraft Despite post-Cold War arguments about their demise, ‘Great Powers’ not only continue to thrive, with lesser Powers they form the basis of the constellation of global politics. This topical new Handbook illustrates how and why the new international order has evolved – and is still evolving – since the end of the Cold War, through the application of diplomacy and statecraft. Including cutting-edge contributions from over 40 scholars, the Handbook is structured around seven sections: Context of Diplomacy Great Powers Middle Powers Developing Powers International Organisations and Military Alliances International Economy Issues of Conflict and Cooperation Through analysis of a wide range of case studies, the Handbook assesses the diplomacy and statecraft of individual powers, offering insights into how they function, their individual perception of national interests, and the roles they play in modern statecraft. The contributors also seek to evaluate the organisations and contemporary issues that continue to influence the shaping of the new international order. A comprehensive survey of diplomacy across the world, this work will be essential reading for scholars and professionals alike. B.J.C. McKercher is Professor of International History and past Chair of War Studies at the Royal Military College of Canada. An expert on interwar international relations, his work centres on Britain as the only global Great Power. Since 2007, he has been editor of Diplomacy & Statecraft.

On Early Applications of Psychology in Music Education
JRME 1982, VOLUME 30, NUMBER 3, PAGES 141-150 141 GranvilleStanley Hall, founder of the AmericanPsychological Association and president of Clark University,was thefirst Americanpsychologist to speak and write about music's place in the educational curriculum. An examination of his published writings reveals Hall based his theoryof music education on principles of Social Darwinism and Child Study perspectiveson education. Hall's theories are referenced and paraphrased in several song series textbooksand music appreciationtexts published by music educators during his professionalcareer. Thesesources indicate that Hall influencedthe thinkingof certainmusic educatorsand was importantto music education,in general, in developing a receptivitytoward psychological processes in music educationpractice. R. R. Rideout, Universityof Oklahoma On Early Applications of Psychology in Music Education Granville Stanley Hall (1842-1924) received the first doctoral degree in psychology in the United States (from Harvard, in 1878). After a two- year sojourn to Europe, where he studied the educational system of Germany, Hall returned to America where, in 1881, he was hired by Charles Elliott, president of Harvard University, to deliver a series of lectures on the state of education in Germany. He gave these lectures for teachers in the Boston environs (Ross, 1974, p. 133). In 1882, upon a recommendation from his former professor, William James, Hall was appointed professor of psychology at Johns Hopkins University. Among his students were John Dewey and James McKeen Cattel, both of whom became noted leaders in education in the first half of the twentieth century (Wilson, 1914). In 1888, because Jonas Clark was impressed with Hall's personality and work at Johns Hopkins, Hall became the first president of the university Clark was founding on the Johns Hopkins model (Ross, 1974, pp. -

Assessment of the Effects of Noise and Vibration from Offshore Wind Farms on Marine Wildlife
ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECTS OF NOISE AND VIBRATION FROM OFFSHORE WIND FARMS ON MARINE WILDLIFE ETSU W/13/00566/REP DTI/Pub URN 01/1341 Contractor University of Liverpool, Centre for Marine and Coastal Studies Environmental Research and Consultancy Prepared by G Vella, I Rushforth, E Mason, A Hough, R England, P Styles, T Holt, P Thorne The work described in this report was carried out under contract as part of the DTI Sustainable Energy Programmes. The views and judgements expressed in this report are those of the contractor and do not necessarily reflect those of the DTI. First published 2001 i © Crown copyright 2001 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Main objectives of the report Energy Technology Support Unit (ETSU), on behalf of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) commissioned the Centre for Marine and Coastal Studies (CMACS) in October 2000, to assess the effect of noise and vibration from offshore wind farms on marine wildlife. The key aims being to review relevant studies, reports and other available information, identify any gaps and uncertainties in the current data and make recommendations, with outline methodologies, to address these gaps. Introduction The UK has 40% of Europe ’s total potential wind resource, with mean annual offshore wind speeds, at a reference of 50m above sea level, of between 7m/s and 9m/s. Research undertaken by the British Wind Energy Association suggests that a ‘very good ’ site for development would have a mean annual wind speed of 8.5m/s. The total practicable long-term energy yield for the UK, taking limiting factors into account, would be approximately 100 TWh/year (DTI, 1999). -
