Anna Clark (2008) History’s Children: History Wars in the Classroom. UNSW Press, Sydney, 178 pages

“History’s Children” stems from Anna Clark’s 2004 postdoctoral research into the ways in which Australian students connect with the past, and aims at bringing some classroom perspectives into the public debates about Australian history education. Although the title makes reference to the “History Wars”, there is little evidence of contestation, engagement, passion or intellectual excitement in Clark’s conclusions about what happens in history classrooms. Rather, Clark’s small focus groups with 182 high school students in 34 high schools around Australia indicate that “it got a bit dismal hearing student after student being so dismissive of Australian history” (p. 143). Apart from some enthusiasm for the study of Australians at war, a sort of resigned boredom seems to characterise what students have to say about learning Australian history, despite their acknowledgement that it is important to “know about” it.

The economics of awards, status and performance: the John Bates Clark Medal and the Fellowship of the Econometric Society

This thesis investigates whether receiving an important award in academia raises recipients’ subsequent research productivity and status compared to a synthetic control group of non-recipient scholars with similar previous research performance. It examines the case of being awarded the John Bates Clark Medal and becoming a Fellow of the Econometric Society finding evidence of positive incentive and status effects that raise both productivity and citation levels.

Feeling it out : Clark Beaumont

This catalogue essay was written to accompany Clark Beaumont's 2014 exhibition at Kings Artist Run in Melbourne, 'Feeling It Out'. It contextualises Clark Beaumont's work within a history of women's participation and achievement in modern and contemporary art, and suggests that this body of work may work through issues of anxiety, ambivalence and doubt about the art world.

Postmodern Theory and the Choreography of Michael Clark

This study addresses two interrelated questions: Can postmodern ‘theory’ illuminate an understanding of Michael Clark’s work? and, a sub-question, In which ways, if at all, does Clark’s work demonstrate a postmodern sensibility? Chapter one, the introduction to this study, provides a ‘portrait’ of postmodernism, that is, it addresses the question What is postmodernism? Chapter two is a biography of Michael Clark. The seminal sections to this study, however, are chapters three and four. Here the author blends a discussion of a) subject matter, treatment and meanings in Clark’s choreography, b) journalistic criticisms of those features of his work, and c) postmodern theory. The outcome of these chapters is to demonstrate that Clark’s works do indeed require re-interpretation and re-evaluation, and to illustrate how these factors might be achieved.

1998 warmwater fish survey of Vancouver Lake, Clark County

The Vancouver Lake warmwater fish population was sampled during the fall of 1998. Vancouver Lake is a large lake, connected directly to the Columbia River through the Lake River to the north and the constructed flushing channel on the eastern shore. A total of 16 species of fish were encountered, mostly warmwater game fish with a few seasonal visitors. The lake has suffered from water quality problems, and during the 1970s, it was dredged, and a channel was created to aid in increasing the water turnover rate, effectively connecting both ends of the lake to the Columbia River. As there is direct access to the Columbia River, managing this lake as a closed system may prove difficult. It is of our opinion that it may be a more effective use of resources to increase the anglers access to the available resources through providing improved boat launch access, and fish habitat structure throughout the lake. Additionally, educating the public about the how-to's of common carp angling could possibly open up additional resources not commonly utilized by the public. (Document pdf contains 38 pages)

安全ARP的Clark-Wilson模型化

ARP协议漏洞严重威胁着TCP／IP的安全，一些基于对称或非对称密钥机制的安全ARP协议被相继提出。本文介绍了ARP协议攻击的原理和几个最出名的基于对称或非对称密钥机制的安全ARP协议，引入Clark-wilson商业模型对ARP的完整性状态进行了分析，把改进协议Clark-Wilson模型化，在模型化的过程中找到了它们不能通过Clark-Wilson商业模型验证规则的关键点，并根据Clark-Wilson商业模型提出的经典场景，给出了相应的攻击场景。

基于Biba和Clark-Wilson策略的混合强制完整性模型

商业应用需要实施完整性策略保护.Biba模型提供了一种简洁的多级完整性控制方案,但是需要引入可信主体来保证实施的可用性.而Clark-Wilson模型通过可监控的状态转换提供了一种完备的完整性保护,但其复杂性影响了该模型的完整实现.提出的模型以Biba严格完整性策略为基础,同时根据可信主体在其生命周期所属的状态实施Biba低水标策略.对可信主体在其生命周期发生的状态转换及相应的低水标参数调整,采用Clark-Wilson模型来进行监控.在有效解决了Biba策略的可用性问题和Clark-Wilson模型监控量过大给系统带来的配置和运行负担问题的同时,继承它们的优点.证明了该策略融合方案是可行的、安全的.

Horsham Properties Group Ltd v Clark: possession - mortgagee's right or discretionary remedy?

Comments on the Chancery Division decision in Horsham Properties Group Ltd v Clark on whether a mortgagee's exercise of its contractual right, on the mortgagor falling into arrears, to appoint receivers such that the property could be sold and possession obtained without triggering the court's discretionary powers pursuant to the Administration of Justice Act 1970 s.36 infringed the mortgagor's rights under the European Convention on Human Rights 1950 Protocol 1 art.1. Considers the implications of proposed reforms recasting the mortgagee's right to possession as a discretionary remedy. [From Legal Journals Index]
