Description: Securing a cloud network is an important challenge for delivering cloud services to enterprise clouds. There are a number of secure network protocols, such as VPN protocols, currently available, to provide different secure network solutions for enterprise clouds. For example, PPTP, IP Sec, and SSUFLS are the most widely used VPN protocols in today's securing network solutions. However, there are some significant challenges in the implementation stage. For example, which VPN solution is easy to deploy in delivering cloud services? Which VPN solution is most user-friendly in enterprise clouds? This chapter explores these issues by implementing different VPNs in a virtual cloud network environment using open source software and tools. This chapter also reviews cloud computing and cloud services and looks at their relationships. The results not only provide experimental evidence but also facilitate the network implementers in deployment of secure network solutions for enterprise cloud services.

Description: SWIFFT is a combined initiative between the community, conservation, education and government sectors.It aims to advance citizen science through facilitating awareness, information and knowledge sharing in relation to biodiversity and threatened species across Victoria and south-eastern Australia. SWIFFT actively encourages contributions from members of the community, conservationists, field naturalists, farmers, land carers, researchers, scientists, management agencies and environmental consultants. SWIFFT is a place for community members to share projects, activities, outcomes, current events and ideas, and to access information from experts in their field. It is also a place to share images of biodiversity projects, species and habitats or go to find out about these things - helping to build a more informed community. SWIFFT is part of an interoperable web-GIS maintained by the Centre for eResearch and Digital Innovation(CeRDI) at Federation University Australia (FedUni). Project aim: Key aims of SWIFFT are to build community awareness and understanding of biodiversity and threatened species through sharing information about biodiversity or threatened species projects. Sharing project information can: assist others undertaking similar projects, or those considering starting a project provide opportunities to link science/research with projects increase community understanding and support for biodiversity and threatened species

Description: The scale of scholarly data has been expanded due to the fact that scientific productions are increasing rapidly and new scholars affiliate academia incessantly. Scholars are shifting their research patterns from individual research to academic teamwork due to the complexity of scientific issues. In order to achieve higher reputations and better performance, academic teams with leaders are constructed to speed up knowledge sharing and problem solving. It is significant to explore team-based issues with the increasing interests of information exploration in big scholarly data. However, existing academic team definitions are commonly not quantitative, which makes it difficult to identify real academic teams. In this work, we propose a collaboration relationship evaluation index called Collaboration Intensity Index (CII), which is a two-way and quantitative index to evaluate collaboration intensity between two scholars in the network. Then, we construct a new type of co-author network with edges weighted by CII, which differs from the original co-author networks. This network reflects the newly scientific research patterns inside or outside academic teams. Furthermore, we propose TRAC (Team Recognition Algorithm based on CII) to identify academic teams from large co-author networks. Finally, we use DBLP data set, which contains 1,250,440 scholars and 1,575,949 published papers, to identify teams by TRAC. Comparing with fast unfolding algorithm and real team data, the effectiveness of our method can be demonstrated.

Description: Background: The effects of foot posture on the dynamic function of the lower limb during gait remains relatively unknown. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate lower limb kinematics between the normal and low arched foot during the gait cycle, particularly in the transverse plane. Method: Twenty-four children, twelve with normal and twelve with low arched feet, aged 11-12 years underwent a lower limb three dimensional gait analysis. Temporo-spatial parameters and patterns and ranges of motion of kinematic data were examined for the pelvis, hip, knee and ankle throughout the gait cycle. Results: Overall, there were very few differences found in the kinematics of the lower limbs between the normal and low arched group. Increased external hip rotation (6-7°) in the low arched group was the only bilateral significant difference (p < 0.05) between the two foot groups. No significant differences existed in any temporo-spatial parameters between the two groups. Conclusions: The increased external hip rotation and greater external foot progression angle in the low arched foot highlights the need to examine gait comprehensively to establish cause or effect of these differences observed and hence determine appropriate treatment. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Traces of the female self : exploring the documentation of women’s art through traces, impressions, residues and self-portraiture via contemporary art practice

Description: Women have always been present as artists, but not necessarily included within the canon of Western art history. Studying the canon is an accepted way of understanding the context of what has gone before, and in turn positioning ourselves within contemporary art practices and theories. However there is a disconnect when most of the individuals within the canon are nothing like us. Self-portraiture can be an embodied methodology, a starting point for an investigation that goes beyond oneself. Addressing the personal through my art practice also addresses a wider community of female artists. Through a studio-based investigation I have asked: What can visual art’s inherent capacity for generating and capturing traces, residues and impressions express in a material and conceptual way to explore self-identity and contribute to the current discourse about women artists’ history? How can these themes be visually expressed in new ways through contemporary selfportraiture, addressing absence and perspective in the documentation of women’s art? I explore these questions through experimental methods of making self-portraits. This research project considers the personal, examining representation of the self as an ontological enquiry into the roles of making and being. As a practice-led study, I pursue this line of enquiry as a means for exploring current structures of power, through a new body of work aimed at further informing Australian women’s art practice and its history.

Description: Sports injuries are a significant clinical and public health concern. There is a growing call to improve the translation of available evidence-based and expert-informed sports injury prevention interventions into sustained use in practice by physicians and others (eg, athletic trainers, coaches, and parents) who care for injured athletes. This article provides a brief overview of the current sport injury prevention implementation literature before focusing specifically on the translation of guidelines (including consensus and position statements) developed to assist physicians and others diagnose and manage athletes with sport-related concussion and the associated return-to-play decisions. The outcomes of more than 20 published studies indicate that physician, athletic trainer, coach, parent, and athlete knowledge, use of, and compliance with sport-related concussion guidelines are limited. More concerted, coordinated, and theory-informed efforts are required to facilitate the widespread dissemination, translation, and implementation of such guidelines. An example is provided of how implementation drivers could be used to inform the development of a comprehensive, multilevel implementation strategy targeting the individual, organizational, and system-level changes necessary to support the translation of available sport-related concussion guidelines in both the clinical and sports settings.

Description: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic, progressive metabolic disease that is an international epidemic. General Practitioners (GPs) are the cornerstones of T2DM management. The aim of this study was to determine the scope of care and management of patients with T2DM within General Practice, while highlighting domains of success and areas where improvement can be made. Demographic and laboratory cross sectional data were collected by examining electronic patient records at one rural General Practice to address the aims of the study. Data included key management parameters of Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR), microalbuminuria, blood pressure and cholesterol levels, in addition to age, sex, and residential postcode. Further, data regarding the use of insulin, antihypertensive medications and lipid-lowering medications were collected and analyzed. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used and significance was determined at p

Description: There is a searchable index and brief description of all works held in the University of Ballarat Art Collection. The University seeks to develop and maintain a permanent collection of high quality works of visual art for the cultural enrichment and research purposes of its student body, staff and wider community. The art collection consists largely of works by Australian artists, the earliest of which is a work by Posenby Carew-Smith dated 1879. An interesting early donation is Waterloo Claim. This work depicts the Ballarat goldfield at the location on which the Ballarat School of Mines (SMB) was built. Works from the 1920s and 1930s showcase students from the Ballarat Technical Art School, but the greatest period of art collection occurred at the Ballarat Teachers' College during the 1950s and 1960s. The Art Collection at the Ballarat Teachers' College had a modest beginning in 1951 when two Lionel Lindsay woodcuts were purchased for the College (then located at Dana Street). These were followed with works by Max Middleton and Vogel; and in 1954 works by Kenneth Jack and Tate Adams were purchased. When the College moved to the new Gillies Street building in 1958 the collection grew steadily with acquisitions by Rupert Bunny, Peter Clarke, Max Coward, Arch Cuthbertson, William Frater, James Gleeson, Pro Hart, George Lambert, Murray Griffen, David Newbury, and many others. Leonard French was commissioned to paint the mural Tapestry in 1959. Another mural, Symbols of Life by George Johnson, was commissioned in 1965. These two works, along with Inge King's welded steel sculpture Organic Form, was purchased with funds raised by student and staff contributions. Following the merger with the tertiary division of the School of Mines to form the Ballarat Institute of Tertiary Education, then the Ballarat College of Advanced Education, Ballarat University College and finally the University of Ballarat, these works have been augmented with various contemporary prints, ceramics, graphics, paintings and sculptures by Australian artists, including work by graduates, postgraduates and staff of the University, such as Claire Blake, Peter Blizzard, Bridget Bodenham, Loris Button, Maryanne Coutts, Neville French, Victor Greenhalgh, Nornie Gude, Gwen Hansen-Piggott, Ian Hemingway, Duncan Lannan, Ros Lawson, Geoff Mainwaring, David Noonan, Peter Pilven, Iain Reid, Ewan Ross, Anne Saunders, Wes Walters, Marcus Wills, Carole Wilson and Doug Wright.
