In the last thirty years, combinatorial mathematics has found itself at the heart of many technological applications. The aims of the conference on which this book is based were to stimulate combinatorial mathematicians to pursue new lines of research of potential and practical importance, and to uncover the breadth of applications to the subject. Topics covered include neural networks, cryptography, radio frequency assignment for mobile telecommunications, coding theory, sequences for communications applications, interconnection networks, data types, knot theory, radar, parallel processing,...

The place of childhood in popular culture is one that invites new readings both on childhood itself, but also on approaches to studying childhood. In our focus on methods of researching children's popular culture, we argue that the interplay of the age of the players, the status of their popular culture, the ephemerality of the objects, and indeed the ephemerality - and long lastingness - of childhood, all contribute to what could be regarded as a particularized space for childhood studies - and one that challenges many of the conventions of doing research involving children.

Drawing upon diverse and specific examples of self-study, described here by the practitioners themselves, this unique book formulates a methodological framework for self-study in education.

This collection brings together a diverse and international range of self-studies carried out in teacher education, each of which has a different perspective to offer on issues of method and methodology, including:

* memory work
* fictional practice
* collaborative autobiography
* auto-ethnography
* phenomenology
* image-based approaches.

Such ethical issues likely...
