The unifying theme of the conference has been that the inflationary effects associated with changes in commodity prices depend on the more fundamental shocks that drive commodity prices. Moreover, since changes in prices of oil and other commodities are relative price shocks they do not cause inflation. In contrast, central banks can cause inflation and they respond to real shocks, so it is nec...

The topic of our Master of Engineering project is a relaxation wrap aiming to come up with a solution that will relax gamer’s hand and wrist without impacting gaming experience. As Electronic Sports is becoming increasingly popular nowadays. There are many professional gamers participating in various tournaments every. As a matter of fact, most professional games require a mouse as primary sour...

Despite the effort of researchers on distributed systems, programming languages, and security, there is still no good solution offering basic constructs for guaranteeing minimal security at the programming language level. In particular, the notion of a wrapper around an object or component controlling its interaction with the environment has not properly been addressed. This kind of “local fire...

Calibration technology provides us with a fast and elegant way to find the supergravity solutions for BPS wrapped M-branes. Its true potential had however remained untapped due to the absence of a classification of calibrations in spacetimes with non-trivial flux. The applications of this method were thus limited in practise to M-branes wrapping Kahler calibrated cycles. In this paper, we catag...

I recognise that the central bankers represented around this table are less prone than others to these pressures. I also recognise that sometimes when central bankers ease policy amid market turmoil, there are often reasons that are not always outwardly visible at the time. With that in mind, I hope no-one assembled here takes too personally my critical look at where we have travelled in the jo...

There has been agreement I think that it was on the whole a pretty good decade for Australia. It’s true, as a number of the papers reminded us, that output growth was on average slower in the 2000s than in the 1990s. It’s also true that productivity growth was slower than in the preceding decade. And while the rise in wealth during the decade was formidable, by the end of the decade household w...

The main aim of this research was to assess the relevance and impact of wellness recovery action planning (WRAP) as a tool for self-management and wellness planning by individuals with mental health problems from pre-existing and newly formed groups, where the possibilities for continued mutual support in the development of WRAPs could be explored. Interviews and focus groups were conducted and...

We report a secondary data analysis investigating age differences in the effects of clause and sentence wrap-up on reading time distributions during sentence comprehension. Residual word-by-word self-paced reading times were fit to the ex-Gaussian distribution to examine age differences in the effects of clause and sentence wrap-up on both the location and shape of participants' reaction time (...

OBJECTIVE The project intended to describe the format of the Wrap-up, a unique multidisciplinary guided debriefing following a child's death. Specific feedback from pediatric residents was sought to assess the model. METHODS The Wrap-ups were timely (within 48 hours of a death), consistent (conducted after each pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) death), multidisciplinary (all care providers...
