Assessment for Learning (AfL) strategies can be regularly used to gauge and respond tostudent progress in an international school learning environment.In its various forms,assessment is crucial for helping students to learn, better understand their learning process,and should be an ongoing means of learning feedback.The aim of this study was todete
Inorganic compounds as vaccine adjuvants
The adjuvant capacity of minerals was first discovered in 1926, when a suspension of diphtheria toxoid precipitated with potassium aluminum sulfate was found to be significantly more immunogenic than the same suspension in the absence of this compound.Although a large number of inorganic salts have since been evaluated for this purpose, only alum,
Joint stereo 3D object detection and implicit surface reconstruction
Abstract We present a new learning-based framework S-3D-RCNN that can recover accurate object orientation in SO(3) and simultaneously predict implicit rigid shapes from stereo RGB images.For orientation estimation, in contrast to previous studies that map local appearance to observation angles, we propose a progressive approach by extracting meanin
Still safe; still respectful: a mixed methods study exploring the early experiences of a rural community hospice in providing voluntary assisted dying
Abstract Background Voluntary assisted dying has become available as an end-of-life choice in many countries, including Australia.There is evidence on the mixed impact of voluntary assisted dying legislation on palliative care healthcare professionals, however, less is known about the interface between palliative care and voluntary assisted dying i
Non-thermal evolution of dense plasmas driven by intense x-ray fields
Abstract Candles The advent of x-ray free-electron lasers has enabled a range of new experimental investigations into the properties of matter driven to extreme conditions via intense x-ray-matter interactions.The femtosecond timescales of these interactions lead to the creation of transient high-energy-density plasmas, where both the electrons and
