This study evaluates the effects of the Ka Mahuri programme, which is a multicomponent 10-week intervention for 5-8 year-old children displaying antisocial and off task behaviours in their mainstream classrooms. The intervention was evaluated by evaluating the progress of five children across two intakes on nine measures. Although substantial difficulties were experienced in collecting the planned data on the children’s progress, it was apparent from the results that the programme effectively managed the children’s negative classroom behaviour during the intervention. Little evidence of academic gains was apparent and the intended parental involvement only occurred in one case. Further follow up data for each child will be required to determine whether the changes made through the intervention were maintained in the long term.

This thesis explores the profound influence of twentieth-century philosophy, and in particular the writings of phenomenologist Jan Patočka, on Wajdi Mouawad. While Mouawad's literary and dramatic sources have been widely discussed in recent scholarship, his philosophical sources have remained under-explored. Seeking to rectify this critical lacuna, the thesis addresses the key concepts Mouawad draws from the writings of Patočka including the central role of 'trace'. Through its investigation of Mouawad's engagement with Patočka, this thesis delineates Mouawad's philosophical and ethical aims. The thesis first considers the multiplicity of self in Mouawad's work, and its relationship to Patočka's 'shakenness' and 'care for the soul'. Chapter 1 investigates how an internal confrontation provoked by trace leads to a search for meaning as 'the soul discovers itself'. It analyses Mouawad's first play, Willy Protagoras enfermé dans les toilettes, and the more recent Seuls, to address the evolution of Mouawad's notion of self. Chapter 2 explores the significance of temporal awareness and time, as Patočka's three movements of human existence drive Mouawad's protagonists in their experience of shakenness. The plays discussed are Littoral, in which Mouawad first essayed non-linear time structures, and Incendies, which utilises a complex temporal oscillation. Chapter 3 turns to space as what arises through the individual's relationship to the world, focusing on Forêts and Ciels, two of Mouawad's most spatially complex productions. Chapter 4 examines two of Mouawad's recent plays, Temps and Sœurs, in its investigation of the role of testimony in developing the solidarity that emerges through the encounter with the other. The thesis then concludes with a discussion of how, and to what extent, Mouawad tackles his ambitions, particularly in their relation to trace.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 25-28, 1999 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / During the NASA Ka-band propagation experiment it was discovered that rainwater on the antenna caused significant attenuation. It is necessary to estimate the losses caused by water on the antenna in order to separate these losses from the atmospheric propagation losses. A prediction model is developed for losses caused by rainwater on a satellite dish antenna. The model is based entirely on physical parameters including elevation angle, dish diameter, focal length, properties of present coating layers, feed window properties, frequency, polarization, water temperature and rain rate. The prediction model is implemented using Matlab and has been tested against experimental data.
