TY - JOUR T1 - A tunnel study to validate motor vehicle emission prediction software in Australia AN - 1859471236; PQ0004002655 AB - A tunnel emissions study was conducted to (partially) validate the Australian vehicle emissions software COPERT Australia and PIARC emission factors. The in-tunnel fleet mix differs substantially from the average on-road fleet, leading to lower emissions by a factor of about 2. Simulation with the P Delta P software found that in-tunnel air-flow compensates to a large extent for road gradient impacts on NOx emissions. PIARC emission factors are conservative and exhibit the largest prediction errors, except for one very good agreement for LDV NOx. COPERT Australia is generally accurate at fleet level for CO, NOx, PM2.5 and PM10, when compared with other international studies, and consistently underestimates emissions by 7%-37%, depending on the pollutant. Possible contributing factors are under-representation of high/excessive emitting vehicles, inaccurate mileage correction factors, and lack of empirical emissions data for Australian diesel cars. The study results demonstrate a large uncertainty in speciated VOC and PAH emission factors.

Due to stem lesions, stem cankers and leaf defoliation, it results in loss of productivity and tree death. This study examined accessions of the four Macadamia species and their hybrids, produced via rooted stem cuttings or germinated seeds, for susceptibility to stem canker and necrotic lesions caused by P. cinnamomi. Plants were wound-inoculated with agar containing P. cinnamomi. The symptoms produced in inoculated plants were used to characterize host susceptibility variation within and among the population. Lesion length and severity of stem canker were recorded. The four species and hybrids differed significantly in stem canker severity (P < 0.001) and lesion length (P = 0.04). Macadamia integrifolia and M. tetraphylla hybrids were the most susceptible. Macadamia integrifolia had the greatest stem canker severity and the most extensive lesions above and below the site of inoculation. Restricted lesion sizes were observed in M. ternifolia and M. jansenii. The effects of basal stem diameter and the method of propagation either from cuttings or from seed were not significant. The genetic variation in the reaction of macadamia accessions to stem infection by P. cinnamomi is discussed.

Information from concurrent ichthyoplankton and adult surveys conducted between Port Stephens, New South Wales and South East Cape, Tasmania during January 2014 was used to assess the environmental factors that determine the spawning patterns of Jack Mackerel. Adults were collected using a modified demersal trawl net deployed during daylight hours. Samples were unbiased with respect to sex, spawning activity and size. Large fish were collected from both the inner shelf and shelf break; spawning fractions and egg densities were high inshore and low offshore. These findings suggest complex spatio-temporal patterns of spawning, different to previous studies suggesting that most spawning occurred at the shelf break (200m). Eggs were most abundant in sea surface temperatures (SSTs) of 15-20 degree C and at depths of <130m. Future ichthyoplankton surveys should target waters with SSTs of 14-23 degree C and depths of 30-250m. Future adult surveys should sample the same range of depths and latitudes as the ichthyoplankton surveys and be structured as systematically as permitted by the availability of habitats suitable for demersal trawling. The DEPM does not provide information about the abundance of non-spawning adults outside the main spawning area. Extending future adult surveys beyond the spawning area would address this limitation by providing estimates of the distribution and relative abundance of adults across the entire range of the population. Findings of this study will help to improve the design of future DEPM surveys.

AN - 1835523082; 27770551 AB - Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial childhood solid tumor. Treatment of high risk tumors require intense multicycle chemotherapies, resulting in short- and long-term toxicities. Here, we present treatment of an orthotopic neuroblastoma mouse model, with silk fibroin materials loaded with vincristine, doxorubicin or the combination as a intratumoral, sustained release system. The materials, loaded with vincristine with or without doxorubicin, significantly decreased neuroblastoma tumor growth compared to materials loaded without drug or doxorubicin only as well as intravenous (IV) drug treatment. The intratumoral drug concentration was significantly higher with intratumoral delivery versus IV. Furthermore, intratumor delivery decreased the maximum plasma concentration compared to IV delivery, reducing systemic exposure and possibly reduing long-term side effects of chemotherapy exposure. Histopathologically, tumors with remission periods >25 days before recurrence transformed from a "small-round-blue cell" (SBRC) to predominantly "large cell" neuroblastoma (LCN) histopathology, a more aggressive tumor subtype with unfavorable clinical outcomes. These results show that intratumoral chemotherapy delivery may be a treatment strategy for pediatric neuroblastoma, potentially translatable to other focal tumors types. Furthermore, this treatment modality allows for a clinically relevant mouse model of tumor transformation that may be used for studying the phenotypical tumor recurrence and developing more effective treatment strategies for recurrent tumors. © 2016 UICC.

AN - 1851288983; 27991626 AB - The magnitude and complexity of the structural and functional data available on nanomaterials requires data analytics, statistical analysis and information technology to drive discovery. We demonstrate that multivariate statistical analysis can recognise the sets of truly significant nanostructures and their most relevant properties in heterogeneous ensembles with different probability distributions. The prototypical and archetypal nanostructures of five virtual ensembles of Si quantum dots (SiQDs) with Boltzmann, frequency, normal, Poisson and random distributions are identified using clustering and archetypal analysis, where we find that their diversity is defined by size and shape, regardless of the type of distribution. At the complex hull of the SiQD ensembles, simple configuration archetypes can efficiently describe a large number of SiQDs, whereas more complex shapes are needed to represent the average ordering of the ensembles. This approach provides a route towards the characterisation of computationally intractable virtual nanomaterial spaces, which can convert big data into smart data, and significantly reduce the workload to simulate experimentally relevant virtual samples.

AN - 1851286276; 27936646 AB - The potential formation of nitrogenous disinfection byproducts (N-DBPs) was investigated from the chloramination of nitrogenous and non-nitrogenous aromatic compounds. All molecules led to the formation of known N-DBPs (e.g., dichloroacetonitrile, dichloroacetamide) with various production yields. Resorcinol, a major precursor of chloroform, also formed di/trichloroacetonitrile, di/trichloroacetamide, and haloacetic acids, indicating that it is a precursor of both N-DBPs and carbonaceous DBPs (C-DBPs) upon chloramination. More detailed experiments were conducted on resorcinol to understand N-DBPs formation mechanisms and to identify reaction intermediates. Based on the accurate mass from high resolution Quadrupole Time-of-Flight GC-MS (GC-QTOF) and fragmentation patterns from electronic impact and positive chemical ionization modes, several products were tentatively identified as nitrogenous heterocyclic compounds (e.g., 3-chloro-5-hydroxy-1H-pyrrole-2-one with dichloromethyl group, 3-chloro-2,5-pyrroledione). These products were structurally similar to the heterocyclic compounds formed during chlorination, such as the highly mutagenic MX (3-chloro-4-(dichloromethyl)-5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone) or halogenated pyrroles. To our knowledge, this is the first time that the formation of halogenated nitrogenous heterocyclic compounds is reported from chloramination process. The formation of these nitrogenous byproducts during chloramination might be of concern considering their potential toxicity.

International and domestic influences on Australia's shifting stance AN - 1867278473 AB - The fulfilment of wealthy countries' commitment to mobilise $100 billion a year in climate finance by 2020 will hinge on maintaining domestic political support in contributor countries. Predictability in flows of climate finance is likely to enhance the overall stability of the climate finance system and the broader climate regime. However, at present it remains unclear how the 2020 target will be achieved and little is known about what drives fluctuations in support among contributor countries. This article explores domestic and international factors that may explain fluctuations in national support through a case study of Australia's climate finance from 2007 to 2015. Drawing on documentary analysis and interviews with officials and stakeholders, the paper tracks two domestic factors that may influence support for climate finance--the government's political orientation and public concern about climate change--and two international factors--commitment to multilateral agreements and international peer pressure. While some accounts view climate policy choices as being driven primarily by domestic factors, we find that the government's political orientation on domestic climate policy and aid explains some but not all variations in Australia's stance on climate finance. International peer group effects have moderated the positions of two governments that were otherwise reluctant to act on climate change. National policy reforms combined with improved multilateral oversight and more established replenishment cycles could bolster support in contributor countries and thereby strengthen the capacity of the climate finance system.

The Coorong (South Australia) is an inverse estuarine coastal lagoon separated from the sea by sand dunes. It is exposed to extreme water quality changes that affect its aquatic communities. Here, we used plankton as indicators of extreme environmental fluctuations to monitor and manage the environmental health of such complex systems. We defined the relationship of different plankton communities with water quality fluctuations and determined plankton species suitable for monitoring the ecosystem health. Two distinct communities of phytoplankton and zooplankton were identified, with salinity and nutrients being the principal factors impacting species distribution. Thus, two sets of indicator species were selected based on the different communities observed. Polychaete and gastropod larvae were positive indicators, showing salinity range restriction of brackish to marine. The distribution Acartia cf. fancetti represented healthy hypersaline conditions (salinity 40-60), while Cyclophora sp. and Scrippsiella sp. were negative indicators, correlating with extreme salinity and ammonia levels. The implementation of planktonic organisms as environmental indicators provided a constructive tool for the management of ecosystem health of the Coorong and will be applicable to similar coastal lagoons.

This investigation was conducted to estimate the water balance and ET components of subsurface drip (SDI) irrigated Chardonnay wine grapes for two seasons (2010-2011 and 2011-2012) using a numerical model (HYDRUS-2D). Treatments involved the application of different volumes [51% (I 1), 64% (I 2), 77% (I 3), and 92% (I 4) of normal application] of water for irrigation. A modified version of the FAO-56 dual crop coefficient approach was used to generate daily transpiration and evaporation as inputs to the HYDRUS-2D model. The calibrated and validated model produced estimates of actual evapotranspiration (ETCact ), actual transpiration (Tpact ), and actual evaporation (Esact ), and deep percolation under varied irrigation applications. The model-simulated values were then used to estimate actual crop coefficients (Kcact and Kcbact ), and water productivity of wine grape under different deficit irrigation conditions. Seasonal ETCact simulated by HYDRUS-2D for different treatments varied between 239 and 382mm. However, seasonal evaporation accounted for 44-59% of seasonal ETCact losses in different treatments. The modelled daily transpiration rate in I 4 treatment (Tp4act ) varied from 0.11-2.74mm/day. Deep percolation accounted for 35-40% of the total water applied by rainfall and irrigation. The mean value of actual crop coefficient (Kcact ) estimated by HYDRUS-2D simulated ET Cact over the two seasons was 0.27, which matched with other investigations. Similarly, values of Kcbact for initial, mid and end stages were 0.13, 0.27 and 0.14, respectively. Monthly values of evaporation coefficient (Ke ) ranged from 0.1 to 0.32, with a mean value of 0.18. Water productivity with respect to ET losses (WPETC ) ranged from 5.9 to 6.2kg/m3 of water use. However, water productivity for transpiration (WPTC ) almost doubled as compared to WPETC in all treatments. The impact of deficit irrigation on berry juice composition (Brix, pH and titratable acidity) was lower than the inter-seasonal variability. These results can help develop better irrigation management strategies for SDI irrigated wine grapes under water scarce conditions.

AN - 1852657286; 27666473 AB - Among the numerous pollutants present in urban road dust, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are among the most toxic chemical pollutants and can pose cancer risk to humans. The primary aim of the study was to develop a quantitative model to assess the cancer risk from PAHs in urban road dust based on traffic and land use factors and thereby to characterise the risk posed by PAHs in fine (150μm) particles. The risk posed by PAHs was quantified as incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR), which was modelled as a function of traffic volume and percentages of different urban land uses. The study outcomes highlighted the fact that cancer risk from PAHs in urban road dust is primarily influenced by PAHs associated with fine solids. Heavy PAHs with 5 to 6 benzene rings, especially dibenzo[a,h]anthracene (D[a]A) and benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) in the mixture contribute most to the risk. The quantitative model developed based on traffic and land use factors will contribute to informed decision making in relation to the management of risk posed by PAHs in urban road dust.

The management strategies should be context-specific, and will require consideration of different stakeholders' interests, and of the local soil and climatic conditions. We developed a framework to analyse nitrogen (N) management options with the objective of increasing crop production while reducing CO2 and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from soil, and applied this framework to Australian rainfed wheat systems using a systems modelling approach. The results indicated that modified N management strategies in Australian rainfed wheat systems could increase average grain yield by up to 76% (from 1.7 to 3.0Mgha-1) while substantially reducing net soil and N2O emissions (expressed in CO2 equivalents, CO2-eq), compared with current farming practice. Meta-modelling of the simulation results from 613 sites across the Australian wheat-growing regions indicated that site-specific best N management aimed at increasing yield and reducing net soil CO2-eq emissions significantly correlated with water availability, temperature, and antecedent soil carbon content. The results emphasise the opportunity for well-managed intensification to simultaneously increase yield and reduce soil CO2 and N2O emissions in Australian rainfed cropping regions. The 'win-win' N management recommendations should, and can be specified according to local climate and soil conditions.

AN - 1835376535; 27566928 AB - Silica aerogels (SAs) present great application prospects especially on thermal insulation, but their flammability is usually ignored. A combined study on the combustion behaviors and oxidation kinetics of hydrophobic silica aerogels prepared by ambient pressure drying (SA-apd) and supercritical drying (SA-sd) was performed by employing cone calorimeter and thermal analysis. The whole combustion process for SAs could be divided into three stages in which a fire propagation phenomenon was observed with the radial propagation velocity of 6.6-8.3cms-1. Current investigations forcefully demonstrated that hydrophobic SAs were combustible and easy to flashover when exposed to a heat flux higher than 25kWm-2. Compared between the two SAs, the SA-sd owned a less fire risk with presenting a less fire hazard and a lower smoke toxicity than those of SA-apd. The oxidation kinetics by Ozawa-Flynn-Wall method revealed that SA-sd had larger apparent activation energies than those of SA-apd which conformed to the thermal stability analysis by TG-DSC. Furthermore, a two-step combustion mechanism was proposed to explain the combustion behaviors of SAs. Copyright © 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In this study, two microstructured carbons, namely N-doped pillaring layered carbon (NC) and N, S codoped honeycomb carbon (NSC), have been fabricated through a one-pot pyrolysis process of a mixture containing glucose, sodium bicarbonate, and urea or thiourea. The heteroatom doping is found to induce tailored microstructures featuring highly interconnected pore frameworks, high sp super(2)-C ratios, and high surface areas. The formation mechanism of the varying pore frameworks is believed to be hydrogen-bond interactions. NSC displays a similar CO sub(2) adsorption capacity (4.7 mmol g super(-1) at 0 degree C), a better CO sub(2)/N sub(2) selectivity, and higher activity in oxygen reduction reaction as compared with NC-3 (the NC sample with the highest N content of 7.3%). NSC favors an efficient four-electron reduction pathway and presents better methanol tolerance than Pt/C in alkaline media. The porous carbons also exhibit excellent rate performance as supercapacitors. N-doped layered and N, S codoped honeycomb carbons have been fabricated, and the hydrogen-bond interactions during the self-assembly process are suggested to be responsible for the formation of different pore frameworks. The tailored micropore/mesopore architecture and heteroatom doping of the porous carbons synergistically induce enhanced CO sub(2) capture capacity/selectivity and improved oxygen reduction reaction activities.

This paper divulges that the opening and closing mechanism of pine cones is attributed to the self-bending of their scales, which undergo three states of humidity-driven deformation in terms of Foppl-von Karman plate theory. Both numerical simulation and experimental measurement support the theoretical analysis, showing that the longitudinal principal curvature and the transverse principal curvature bifurcate at a critical humidity level according to the thickness and shape of scales. These findings help us understand the shape transformation of bilayer or multi-layer natural structures and gain insights into the design of transformable devices/materials with great potential in numerous applications.

However, protected areas, especially freshwater, are under threat with overexploitation of resources changing the land covers and degrading their capacity to supply services. Information on land cover changes and its implications on ecosystems, its services and people, especially in developing countries at a local scale, is largely absent. This study, therefore, seeks to understand people's dependency on ecosystem services and implications of land cover change on ecosystem services and people, with a case study in the Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve of Nepal. Using both qualitative and quantitative methods, our findings show high dependency of the locals on a vast array of ecosystem services provided by the reserve. More than half of the sampled households were found to directly derive income from ecosystem services of the reserve. However, land cover changes especially declines in forest (16%), swamps/marshes (4%), rivers (14%) and other ecosystems over a period of 34-years impacted the provision of ecosystem services and people's dependency notably. The services from forests declined by about 94%, swamps services by 36% and services from river by 57% which were reported to be the high service suppliers. People's dependency, as perceived by the locals, was reduced by 67% over the last ten years. The study highlighting the supply, demand and implications on ecosystem services and people helped to better understand the complex interaction between humans and ecosystems. These results can be used to develop holistic approaches to restore, conserve and manage the ecosystems, and its services by balancing equal supply and demand of ecosystem services required for a self-sustaining human-environment system. It can also contribute to development of important environmental policies and programs in the area.

DFFs can provide preferential flow pathways (i.e. 'preferential flow features'; PFFs), or can act to impede flow (i.e. 'barrier flow features'; BFFs). This research uses a simple analytical expression and numerical modelling to explore how a single DFF influences the steady-state distributions of solute plumes in permeable aquifers. The analysis quantifies the displacement and widening (or narrowing) of a steady-state solute plume as it crosses a DFF in idealised, 11m moderately permeable rock aquifers. Previous research is extended by accounting for DFFs as 2D flow features, and including BFF situations. A range of matrix-DFF permeability ratios (0.01 to 100) and DFF apertures (0.25mm to 2cm), typical of sedimentary aquifers containing medium-to-large fractures, are considered. The results indicate that for the conceptual models considered here, PFFs typically have a more significant influence on plume distributions than BFFs, and the impact of DFFs on solute plumes generally increases with increasing aperture. For example, displacement of peak solute concentration caused by DFFs exceeds 20cm in some PFF cases, compared to a maximum of 0.64cm in BFF cases. PFFs widen plumes up to 9.7 times, compared to a maximum plume widening of 2.0 times in BFF cases. Plumes crossing a PFF are less symmetrical, and peak solute concentrations beneath PFFs are up to two orders of magnitude lower than plumes in BFF cases. This study extends current knowledge of the attenuating influence of DFFs in otherwise permeable rocks on solute plume characteristics, through evaluation of 2D flow effects in DFFs for a variety of DFF apertures, and by considering BFF situations.

Warnings are currently issued according to a technique that does not include explicit modelling at the coastline, including any potential coastal inundation. This paper investigates the feasibility of developing and implementing tsunami inundation modelling as part of the JATWC warning system. An inundation model was developed for a site in Southeast Australia, on the basis of the availability of bathymetric and topographic data and observations of past tsunamis. The model was forced using data from T2, the operational deep-water tsunami scenario database currently used for generating warnings. The model was evaluated not only for its accuracy but also for its computational speed, particularly with respect to operational applications. Limitations of the proposed forecast processes in the Australian context and areas requiring future improvement are discussed.

The density of litter observed in the axis of the Ryukyu Trench (7100 m) and in the basin of the Okinawa Trough ranged from 1.2 10 super(3) to 7.1 10 super(3) items km super(-2), or 7.5-121.4 kg km super(-2), which was significantly higher than that observed on the adjacent shallower continental slopes or abyssal plain (0.1 10 super(3) to 0.6 10 super(3) items km super(-2); 0.03-9.2 kg km super(-2)). This suggests that trenches and troughs function as "depocenters" for anthropogenic litter because of their deeper and enclosed topographies.

In this study, the FAO-56 dual crop coefficient (DCC) approach for estimating evaporation from soil under cropped conditions is adapted for subsurface drip irrigation (SDI). This new approach involves one additional variable, the fraction of the irrigation depth contributing to evaporation (fI,Es ), which was defined and integrated into the FAO-56 equations for estimating daily water balance from the evaporation layer (0-15cm). Impacts of soil texture, heterogeneity, irrigation depth, design parameters of the irrigation system on fI,Es , and the fraction of the soil surface wetted by irrigation (fw ) (and consequently the exposed and wetted fraction (few )), were evaluated through HYDRUS-2D simulations. The modified procedure was compared with the existing FAO-56 method for estimating components of annual ET for wine grape under SDI. The model simulations showed that the fI,Es fraction in a homogeneous, isotropic light-textured soil was minimal (0.04) when SDI was placed at a depth of 25cm. However, in medium and heavy textured soils fI,Es was 4 times larger than in light-textured soils. The value of fw was slightly higher in fine-textured (0.09) than in medium-textured soils (0.07). In Duplex soils with two contrasting textural layers, fw (0.12-0.16) was higher due to the presence of a heavy-textured soil layer just below the drip line. Similarly, in Triplex soils (3 different textural layers), placing the drip line in the middle layer effectively reduced both fI,Es and fw close to zero. In contrast, fw (0.18-0.30) and fI,Es (0.28-0.42) both increased considerably in heterogeneous soils. Both fractions (fw and fI,Es ) increased with an increase in irrigation depths, except for fI,Es in loamy sand. The fractions were slightly lower when a drip line was placed at a depth of 10cm (an evaporation zone) than when it was placed on the soil surface. Applying the same amount of water with different discharge rates had little impact on fI,Es and fw fractions. An increase in the drip line spacing proportionally decreased the wetted fraction on the soil surface. Annual evaporation for SDI irrigated wine grapes at the field study site, estimated using the existing FAO-56 procedure, was overestimated by about 5-6% compared to using the modified procedure. However, this deviation between the two approaches increased (18%) for heavier soil textures. It is concluded that the existing FAO-56 procedure needs to be adjusted when used to estimate evaporation under subsurface drip irrigation. However, the impact of the proposed modification on evaporation needs further evaluation under other crops, soils, and climatic conditions.

This is driven largely by a growing focus on building resilience to disasters. At the same time, the wider landscape of volunteering is fundamentally changing in the twenty-first century. This paper considers implications of this changing landscape for the resilience agenda in disaster management, with a focus on Australia. It first reviews major forces and trends impacting on disaster volunteering, highlighting four key developments: the growth of more diverse and episodic volunteering styles, the impact of new communications technology, greater private sector involvement and growing government expectations of and intervention in the voluntary sector. It then examines opportunities in this changing landscape for the Australian emergency management sector across five key strategic areas and provides examples of Australian responses to these opportunities to date. The five areas of focus are: developing more flexible volunteering strategies, harnessing spontaneous volunteering, building capacity to engage digital (and digitally enabled) volunteers, tapping into the growth of employee and skills-based volunteering and co-producing community-based disaster risk reduction. Although there have been considerable steps taken in Australia in some of these areas, overall there is still a long way to go before the sector can take full advantage of emerging opportunities. The paper thus concludes by identifying important research and practice gaps in this area.

The benefits of training Indigenous community members in western scientific methods include: increased capability development, increased employment opportunities and more cost effective monitoring output than could be undertaken by government agencies. The aim of this project was to develop a training course to provide elementary scientific skills to Indigenous participants from communities throughout the Northern Territory of Australia. The short term goals of the training were: (1) to increase the capacity of Indigenous communities to conduct monitoring activities and collect biological and physical samples, (2) to increase the employment opportunities for Indigenous community members by providing them with additional skills and a recognised qualification and (3) To provide a cost effective way of conducting monitoring activities in remote areas by using local capability rather than incurring the expense of sending a research team to these locations. The longer term goal of the training is to facilitate the development of research partnerships between Indigenous community members and management agencies as a first step in the move to co-management of aquatic resources. The key components for successfully developing the course were; consistent engagement with Indigenous communities to build relationships and identify priorities for both the community and government agency, the course content involved participation from community members and government scientists, the training addressed the needs of students with English as a second language, the course content was heavily practical and pictorial, assessments were verbal and/or practical and students were housed in accommodation that allowed them to conduct the course to the best of their ability. The research that has been conducted by the participants, as well as three students gaining employment in government research agencies since the completion of the course, suggest that the training has been successful in achieving its short term goals. The research partnerships that have been developed between the government agency and Indigenous community members are still in their infancy, so the move to co-management between these groups is still several years away. However, this training has provided an initial step in this process by increasing the monitoring capability within a substantial number of coastal Indigenous communities that allows them to participate in research programs that underpin the management of their aquatic resources.

Little information exists on the use of prehospital services for trauma patients in Zambia. A prospective, observational study of trauma presentations was undertaken for 6 months in Lusaka, Zambia, to establish the epidemiology and outcomes of injury in the region. In addition to demographics and mechanism of injury, data were collected on prehospital transport as well as inpatient resources utilization. Trained study personnel gathered data on trauma presentations 24 h a day. Statistical analysis was conducted using SAS 9.3 from a Microsoft super( registered ) Access database. 3498 trauma patients were enrolled in the study on arrival to University Teaching Hospital (UTH). 3264 patients had a transport means recorded (95.3 %). Two-thirds (66 %) arrived within 6 h of injury, and 23 % arrived within the first hour after injury. A majority arrived by private vehicle (53.4 %) or public transport (37.7 %); only 5.9 % were transported by public or private ambulance. Of those arriving within the first hour after injury, 69.1 % came by private car, 24.6 % by public transport and 3.1 % by ambulance. There was a small statistical increase in Kampala Trauma Score II among ambulance arrivals. Trauma patient use a variety of transport methods to get to UTH. A majority of patients use no formal ambulance transport. Despite this fact, a majority arrives within 6 h of injury but receive no formal prehospital care. An integrated, multilayered prehospital care and transport system may be the most effective approach for Zambia.

Under the factor that previous studies numerically modelled and validated their results by single test rig, experimental data from all the possible test rigs in the literature were collected and analysed in this study to develop an empirical model for general use. This empirical model was validated by experimental data from various test rigs, with an average error of 14% and up to 144.6% error. Based on the experimental data from different test rigs, the influences of several factors, such as calculated inclination angle ([thetas]', shown in Eq. (6)), cavity gap (d), width (w), height (H), height/cavity gap ratio (H/d), inlet area (A in ), outlet area (A out ) and radiation heat (q), on solar chimney performance were addressed. The volumetric flow rate of roof solar chimney showed a linear relationship with w(sin[thetas]')1/3 q 1/2 d 0.7 H 2/3. The slope of this linear relationship can be determined by test environment, cavity material, glazing, and insulation conditions. Those experimental data within a H/d range of 2.5-103.5 showed that the air velocity increases with a larger H/d, but the volumetric flow rate behaves in an opposite way. It is known from experiments that an equal inlet and outlet area can enhance the flow rate in the cavity and for unequal openings the outlet area showed a relatively higher importance in promoting the air flow.

Electronic databases were searched for studies that measured TPB variables and MSM condom use. Correlations were meta-analysed using a random effects model and path analyses. Moderation analyses were conducted for the time frame of the behavioural measure used (retrospective versus prospective). Attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioural control accounted for 24.0 % of the variance in condom use intention and were all significant correlates. Intention and PBC accounted for 12.4 % of the variance in condom use behaviour. However, after taking intention into account, PBC was no longer significantly associated with condom use. The strength of construct relationships did not differ between retrospective and prospective behavioural assessments. The medium to large effect sizes of the relationships between the constructs in the TPB, which are consistent with previous meta-analyses with different behaviours or target groups, suggest that the TPB is also a useful model for explaining condom use behaviour among MSM. However, the research in this area is rather small, and greater clarity over moderating factors can only be achieved when the literature expands.

AN - 1835363823; 27588576 AB - Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have been used as flame retardants in a variety of materials and products. PBDEs have been shown to accumulate in the environment and human populations while exhibiting a range of toxic effects. In this study, surface soil samples from 30 sites in the city of Melbourne, Australia, were analysed for PBDEs. Eight congeners of environmental concern (BDE-28, -47, -99, -100, -153, -154 -183 and -209) were assessed using selective pressurized liquid extraction (S-PLE) and gas chromatography coupled to triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). PBDEs were detected in 29/30 samples with Σ8PBDE soil concentrations ranging nd-13,200 ng/g dw and Σ7PBDEs (excluding BDE-209) levels of nd-70.5 ng/g dw. Soils from waste disposal sites (n = 6) contained the highest median Σ7PBDE and Σ8PBDE concentrations, followed by manufacturing sites (n = 18) and then non-source sites (n = 6). Electronics recycling facilities contained the greatest levels of Σ8PBDEs by a significant margin (p < 0.05) to indicate that these industries are a potential source of contamination. BDE-209 was the dominant congener, contributing an average of 75.5% to Σ8PBDEs soil concentrations, followed by BDE-47, BDE-99 and BDE-183 at 7.90, 5.64 and 4.31%, respectively. Congener profiles reflected global estimates of Deca-BDE, Octa-BDE and Penta- BDE commercial production, with the most significant congener correlation existing between BDE-47 and BDE-99 (p < 0.001, r = 0.943). This first assessment of PBDEs in Melbourne soils indicates widespread contamination of the urban environment, including locations where direct sources to soil are not clear.

The studies manipulated whether or not the person was responsible for the mishap and the degree to which the consequences were subsequently found to be serious. Results of Study 1 showed reduction in schadenfreude and more compassion for the victim in the serious condition due to appraisals that it was immoral to laugh about the misfortune. The stronger these appraisals and the stronger the initial schadenfreude, the stronger were moral emotions (guilt, shame, and regret) about initially expressed schadenfreude. Moral emotions and compassion fostered prosocial behavior. Study 2 extended these results by showing that seriousness of the consequences acted as a moderator for most of these findings with significant effects occurring in the serious condition only. Most reduction in schadenfreude occurred when the consequences were serious and when the person was less responsible for the misfortune. The studies extend past research by investigating schadenfreude and other emotions in a context that does not involve social comparison and where participants reflected on their initial expressions of schadenfreude.

Specimens were obtained from patients undergoing abdominal skin reduction surgery in inpatient and outpatient surgical settings. Skin specimens were cleaned in a method adapted from the former Yale Skin Bank's methods. The specimens were attached to the autoclave container for the dermatome using towel clips or sutures to provide tension. Normal saline clysis was injected subdermally and a Padgett Electric Dermatome was used to obtain skin grafts. These were then photographed and discarded. Eight specimens were obtained from seven women and one man. The mean age was 46.6 years and mean weight at time of surgery was 87.7 kg. Bacterial cultures obtained from all specimens were negative. All procured grafts were transparent, with visible dermis, suggesting that they could be used in a clinical setting. Bacterial culture-negative split-thickness skin grafts can be obtained from skin reduction surgery specimens, offering a potential source of split-thickness allograft during regional or national shortages.

The Asia-Pacific region is rapidly developing as a major contributor to the global population and economy and is home to one-quarter of the world's active volcanoes. Here we present a regional-scale volcanic ash hazard assessment for the Asia-Pacific using a newly developed framework for Probabilistic Volcanic Ash Hazard Analysis (PVAHA). This PVAHA was undertaken using the Volcanic Ash Probabilistic Assessment of Hazard (VAPAH) algorithm. The VAPAH algorithm considered a magnitude-frequency distribution of eruptions and associated volcanic ash load attenuation relationships for the Asia-Pacific, and integrated across all possible events to arrive at an annual exceedance probability for sites of interest. The Asia-Pacific region was divided into six sub-regions (e.g. Indonesia, Philippines and Southeast Asia, Melanesia/Australia, Japan/Taiwan, New Zealand/Samoa/Tonga/Fiji and Russia/China/Mongolia/Korea) characterised by 276 source volcanoes each with individual magnitude-frequency relationships. Sites for analysis within the Asia-Pacific region were limited to land-based locations at 1-km grid spacing, within 500 km of a volcanic source. The Indonesian sub-region exhibited the greatest volcanic ash hazard in the region at the 100-year timeframe, with additional sources (in Japan, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Kamchatka - Russia and New Zealand) along plate boundaries manifesting a high degree of hazard at the 10,000-year timeframe. Disaggregation of the volcanic ash hazard for individual sites of interest provided insight into the primary causal factors for volcanic ash hazard at capital cities in Papua New Guinea, the Philippines and Japan. This PVAHA indicated that volcanic ash hazard for Port Moresby was relatively low at all timeframes. In contrast to this, Jakarta, Manila and Tokyo are characterised by high degrees hazard at all timeframes. The greatest hazard was associated with Tokyo and the PVAHA was able to quantify that the large number of sources impacting on this location was the causal factor contributing to the hazard. This evidence-based approach provides important insights for decision makers responsible for strategic planning and can assist with prioritising regions of interest for more detailed volcanic ash hazard modelling and local scale planning.

Analyses of this kind are concerned with producing estimates of the probability of occurrence of a hazard at a site given the location, magnitude, and frequency of hazardous events around that site; in particular Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA). PSHA is a method for assessing and expressing the probability of earthquake hazard for a site of interest, at multiple spatial scales, in terms of probability of exceeding certain ground motion intensities. Probabilistic methods for multi-scale volcanic ash hazard assessment are less developed. The modelling framework presented here, Probabilistic Volcanic Ash Hazard Analysis (PVAHA), adapts the seismologically based PSHA technique for volcanic ash. PVAHA considers a magnitude-frequency distribution of eruptions and associated volcanic ash load attenuation relationships and integrates across all possible events to arrive at an annual exceedance probability for each site across a region of interest. The development and implementation of the Volcanic Ash Probabilistic Assessment tool for Hazard (VAPAH), as a mechanism for facilitating multi-scale PVAHA, is also introduced. VAPAH outputs are aggregated to generate maps that visualise the expected volcanic ash hazard for sites across a region at timeframes of interest and disaggregated to determine the causal factors which dominate volcanic ash hazard at individual sites. VAPAH can be used to identify priority areas for more detailed PVAHA or local scale ash dispersal modelling that can be used to inform disaster risk reduction efforts.

AN - 1837023616; 27614408 AB - A series of new benzimidazole-thiazolidinedione hybrids has been synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic potential against a selected human cancer cell lines of prostate (PC-3 and DU-145), breast (MDA-MB-231), lung (A549) and a normal breast epithelial cells (MCF10A). Among the tested compounds, 11p exhibited promising cytotoxicity with IC50 value of 11.46 ± 1.46 μM on A549 lung cancer cell line and did not show significant toxicity on normal MCF10A cells. Lung cancer cells (A549) have been used to know the mechanism of cell growth inhibition and apoptosis inducing effect with compound 11p. The treatment of A549 cells with 11p showed typical apoptotic morphology like cell shrinkage, chromatin condensation and horseshoe shaped nuclei formation. Flow-cytometry analysis revealed the G2/M phase of cell cycle arrest in a dose dependent manner. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggested that the cell migration was inhibited through the disruption of F-actin protein. Acridine orange-ethidium bromide (AO-EB), DAPI, annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide, rhodamine-123 and MitoSOX assays suggested the induction of apoptosis in A549 cells by compound 11p.

AN - 1844029817; 27888342 AB - Leflunomide is the most recently introduced conventional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs in Australia. It has several unique methods for initiation, unique monitoring recommendations and a distinctive cessation protocol in the event of serious toxicity. The aim of this study was to evaluate initiation and monitoring practices of Australian rheumatologists using leflunomide. A survey was emailed twice, approximately 3 months apart to 332 rheumatologist members of the Australian Rheumatology Association. Wave analysis was used to assess evidence of non-response bias. The response rate to the survey was 20% and there was no difference between the responses of waves 1 and 2. Fifty percent of the respondents indicated that 20 mg once daily was the initial dose of leflunomide that they most commonly prescribed, 45% indicated 10 mg once daily, whilst only 3% preferred to initiate leflunomide at 100 mg daily for 2-3 days followed by 10 mg once a day as recommended when first marketed. Of the responders, 12% had used doses above 20 mg daily and 70% had used alternate daily dosing with leflunomide. In a patient taking leflunomide with an ALT or AST >3 times the ULN on two or more blood tests, 75% of responders indicated they would stop leflunomide immediately and 20% would follow cessation by administering a cholestyramine washout. The choice of initial leflunomide dose among responding Australian rheumatologists varied considerably, although most preferred not to use the loading dose. Despite the recommendation of clinical guidelines, the use of a cholestyramine washout procedure for hepatic toxicity is not universal.

AN - 1843920055; 27876099 AB - The cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera, is a major pest of many agricultural crops in several countries, including Australia. Transgenic cotton, expressing a single Bt toxin, was first used in the 1990s to control H. armigera and other lepidopteran pests. Landscape scale or greater pest suppression has been reported in some countries using this technology. However, a long-term, broad-scale pheromone trapping program for H. armigera in a mixed cropping region in eastern Australia caught more moths during the deployment of single Bt toxin cotton (Ingard®) (1996-2004) than in previous years. This response can be attributed, at least in part, to (1) a precautionary cap (30% of total cotton grown, by area) being applied to Ingard® to restrict the development of Bt resistance in the pest, and (2) during the Ingard® era, cotton production greatly increased (as did that of another host plant, sorghum) and H. armigera (in particular the 3rd and older generations) responded in concert with this increase in host plant availability. However, with the replacement of Ingard® with Bollgard II® cotton (containing two different Bt toxins) in 2005, and recovery of the cotton industry from prevailing drought, H. armigera failed to track increased host-plant supply and moth numbers decreased. Greater toxicity of the two gene product, introduction of no cap on Bt cotton proportion, and an increase in natural enemy abundance are suggested as the most likely mechanisms responsible for the suppression observed.

AN - 1826725905; 27423445 AB - A need exists for appropriate tools to evaluate risk and monitor potential effects of contaminants in tropical marine environments, as currently impact assessments are conducted by non-representative approaches. Here, a novel bioassay is presented that allows for the estimation of the chronic toxicity of contaminants in receiving tropical marine environments. The bioassay is conducted using planktonic larvae of the barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite and is targeted at generating environmentally relevant, chronic toxicity data for water quality guideline derivation or compliance testing. The developmental endpoint demonstrated a consistently high control performance, validated through the use of copper as a reference toxicant. In addition, the biological effects of aluminium, gallium and molybdenum were assessed. The endpoint expressed high sensitivity to copper and moderate sensitivity to aluminium, whereas gallium and molybdenum exhibited no discernible effects, even at high concentrations, providing valuable information on the toxicity of these elements in tropical marine waters.

The comparison studies of amino acid profile in NZ Amine A-based medium (NZ medium) and beef digest-based medium (BD medium) suggested that an insufficient supply of amino acids was not responsible for low toxin yield observed in NZ medium. Supplementation of additional amino acids and growth promoting nutrient (in a form of yeast extract) into NZ medium enhanced only cell growth but not toxin production. Thus, BD medium was selected as the most suitable base medium for toxin production as it gave a significantly higher limit of flocculation (93 plus or minus 0 Lf/ml) than NZ medium (46 plus or minus 0 Lf/ml). Interestingly, a supplementation of 0.2% YE into BD medium resulted in a significant increase in growth as well as toxin production (235 plus or minus 5 Lf/ml). In conclusion, consistently high toxin titer (174-239 Lf/ml) could be obtained from BD medium at a 5 L-scale production as long as 1) the protein content of BD medium was at least 24 g/L, 2) the iron content was below 0.15 ppm and 3) 0.2% YE was supplemented into the medium.

The ecological integrity of the landscapes in this global biodiversity hotspot has been compromised by deforestation, fragmentation, exploitation, and introduced biota. Nature and degree of transformation varies between four interconnected landscapes (Swan Coastal Plain; South-west Forests; Wandoo Woodlands; and Great Western Woodlands). A Gondwanan perspective emphasizes a venerable biota and a cultural component to deep time. The particular importance of remnants and protected areas is recognized in restoring ecological integrity to Gondwanan landscapes. The nature and magnitude of the restoration task in these ancient, and neighboring, landscapes require higher levels of investment and more time than do recent landscapes. The protection, conservation, restoration, and rehabilitation of ecological integrity require multiple approaches in each landscape as well as consideration of the whole. Active conservation of biota and minimizing the impact of industrial- and agricultural-use are priorities. Integrating a climate focus and rethinking fire are critical restoration considerations to future trajectories under anthropogenic climate change. A legislative mandate to coordinate industrial-scale restoration and active conservation to build from protected areas must become a societal priority to restore ecological integrity.

Gold nanoparticle size, temperature of the deposition solution bath, and orbital shaking during detection were shown to affect the levels of development and contrast obtained. Gold nanoparticles of diameter 15-21nm were found to be most effective for satisfactory visualisation of latent fingermarks, while solutions that were applied at room temperature were found to adequately balance the ratio between the contrast of the fingermark ridge detail and the level of background staining achieved. Finally, optimum levels of development and contrast were obtained through constant agitation of both solution baths at approximately 50RPM throughout the submersion time. SMD II was also tested on a large variety of substrate types and shown to be effective on a range of porous, non-porous, and semi-porous surfaces; however, the detection quality can be significantly influenced by the substrate nature. This resulted in the production of dark grey, white, or gold coloured fingermarks on different surfaces, as well as reversed detection on certain types of plastic, similarly seen through the use of vacuum metal deposition.

AN - 1835487569; 27539013 AB - KEY MESSAGE Many deletions of the wheat Della ( Rht - B1 ) gene and its flanking regions were isolated in a simple phenotypic screen, and characterised by modified analysis of SNP hybridisation data and cytogenetics. In a dwarf wheat suppressor screen, many tall 'revertants' were isolated following mutagenesis of a severely dwarfed (Rht-B1c) hexaploid wheat. About 150 lines were identified as putative deletions of Rht-B1c, based on the PCR analysis. Southern blot hybridisation established that most of them lacked the Rht-B1 gene, but retained the homoeologues Rht-A1 and Rht-D1. PCR assays were developed for orthologues of two genes that flank Rht-1/Della in the genomes of the model species Brachypodium and rice. Deletion of the B-genome-specific homoeologues of these two genes was confirmed in the Rht-B1 deletion lines, indicating loss of more than a single gene. SNP chip hybridisation analysis established the extents of deletion in these lines. Based on the synteny with Brachypodium chromosomes 1 and 4 g, and rice chromosomes 3g and 11g, notional deletion maps were established. The deletions ranged from interstitial deletions of 4BS through to loss of all 4BS markers. There were also instances, where all 4BS and 4BL markers were lost, and these lines had poor fertility and narrow stems and leaves. Cytogenetic studies on selected lines confirmed the loss of portions of 4BS in lines that lacked most or all 4BS markers. They also confirmed that lines lacking both 4BS and 4BL markers were nullisomics for 4B. These nested deletion lines share a common genetic background and will have applications in assigning markers to regions of 4BS as well as to 4BL. The potential for this type of analysis in other regions of the wheat genome is discussed. JF - TAG. Theoretical and applied genetics.

AN - 1835400035; 27720295 AB - Trypanosoma brucei are protozoan parasites that cause African sleeping sickness in humans (also known as Human African Trypanosomiasis-HAT). Without treatment, T. brucei infections are fatal. There is an urgent need for new therapeutic strategies as current drugs are toxic, have complex treatment regimens, and are becoming less effective owing to rising antibiotic resistance in parasites. We hypothesize that targeting the HSP60/10 chaperonin systems in T. brucei is a viable anti-trypanosomal strategy as parasites rely on these stress response elements for their development and survival. We recently discovered several hundred inhibitors of the prototypical HSP60/10 chaperonin system from Escherichia coli, termed GroEL/ES. One of the most potent GroEL/ES inhibitors we discovered was compound 1. While examining the PubChem database, we found that a related analog, 2e-p, exhibited cytotoxicity to Leishmania major promastigotes, which are trypanosomatids highly related to Trypanosoma brucei. Through initial counter-screening, we found that compounds 1 and 2e-p were also cytotoxic to Trypanosoma brucei parasites (EC50=7.9 and 3.1μM, respectively). These encouraging initial results prompted us to develop a library of inhibitor analogs and examine their anti-parasitic potential in vitro. Of the 49 new chaperonin inhibitors developed, 39% exhibit greater cytotoxicity to T. brucei parasites than parent compound 1. While many analogs exhibit moderate cytotoxicity to human liver and kidney cells, we identified molecular substructures to pursue for further medicinal chemistry optimization to increase the therapeutic windows of this novel class of chaperonin-targeting anti-parasitic candidates. An intriguing finding from this study is that suramin, the first-line drug for treating early stage T. brucei infections, is also a potent inhibitor of GroEL/ES and HSP60/10 chaperonin systems.

AN - 1835001833; 27658870 AB - As pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and emtricitabine for the prevention of HIV infection is rolled out internationally, strategies to maintain effectiveness and to minimise adverse effects merit consideration. In this study, we aimed to assess reductions in renal function and predictors of renal toxicity in a large open-label study of PrEP. As part of the iPrEx open-label extension (OLE) study, men who have sex with men or transgender women aged 18-70 years who were HIV negative and had participated in three previous PrEP trials from Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, South Africa, Thailand, and the USA were enrolled into an open-label PrEP study. There were no restrictions on current renal function for enrolment into iPrEx OLE, in which participants were given combination tablets of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (300 mg) and emtricitabine (200 mg) and advised to take one tablet per day. At follow-up sessions every 12 weeks, participants' creatinine clearance on PrEP was estimated and in a subset of participants, hair samples were collected to measure tenofovir and emtricitabine concentrations (a measure of adherence and exposure) via liquid-chromatography-tandem-mass-spectrometry. Reductions in creatinine clearance from baseline were calculated and predictors of decline were identified by use of multivariate models. iPrEx is registered with ClinicalTrials.com, number NCT00458393. Baseline characteristics were similar between all participants in iPrEx-OLE (1224 participants with 7475 person-visits) and those participating in the hair substudy (220 participants with 1114 person-visits). During a median of 72 weeks, the mean decline in creatinine clearance was -2·9% (95% CI -2·4 to -3·4; ptrend<0·0001), but declines were greater for those who started PrEP at older ages: participants aged 40-50 years at baseline had declines of -4·2% (95% CI -2·8 to -5·5) and participants older than 50 years at baseline had declines of -4·9% (-3·1 to -6·8). In multivariate models, age and baseline creatinine clearance less than 90 mL/min predicted declines in renal function. We identified a monotonic association between percentage decrease in creatinine clearance and the number of doses of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and emtricitabine taken per week, as estimated by hair concentrations of tenofovir and emtricitabine (ptrend=0·008). Our data suggest that the frequency of safety monitoring for PrEP might need to be different between age groups and that pharmacological measures can monitor for toxic effects as well as adherence.

One of the more recent measures was denying asylum seekers who arrived by boat after 13 August 2012 the right to work upon their release from immigration detention into the community. There are around 26,000 asylum seekers who have been subject to this policy with most still waiting for their initial interview for refugee status and none have had their refugee claims resolved. This paper examines the findings of a study that explored the implications of this policy for asylum seekers. It draws on 29 semi-structured interviews with asylum seekers and highlights the distress and fear that many are enduring, caused by the denial of the right to work and ongoing uncertainty about their refugee claims. The study's findings provide support for the conclusions of earlier research that highlight the importance of the right to work and securing employment for the mental health of asylum seekers, as well as studies that found there were negative mental health consequences of forcing asylum seekers to live for long periods with uncertainty around their protection claims.

Most studies to date have focused on insects, birds, and mammals but data from a wider range of taxonomic groups are essential to identify general patterns and processes. The extent of social behaviour among squamate reptiles is under-appreciated, yet they are a promising group for further studies. Living in aggregations is posited as an important step in the evolution of more complex sociality. We review data on aggregations among squamates and find evidence for some form of aggregations in 94 species across 22 families. Of these, 18 species across 7 families exhibited 'stable' aggregations that entail overlapping home ranges and stable membership in long-term (years) or seasonal aggregations. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that stable aggregations have evolved multiple times in squamates. We: ( i ) identify significant gaps in our understanding; ( ii ) outline key traits which should be the focus of future research; and ( iii ) outline the potential for utilising reproductive skew theory to provide insights into squamate sociality.

Among the tested compounds, 8l showed significant cytotoxic activity against MDA-MB-231 and 4T1 cancer cells with IC50 values of 3.26 ± 0.24 μM and 5.96 ± 0.67 μM respectively. The compounds 8f, 8i, 8l and 8o were also screened on normal human breast epithelial cells (MCF10A) and found to be safer with lesser cytotoxicity. The treatment of MDA-MB-231 cells with 8l led to inhibition of cell migration ability through disruption of F-actin protein assembly. The flow-cytometry analysis reveals that the cells arrested in G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle. Further, the compound 8l induced apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 cells was characterized by different staining techniques such as Acridine Orange/Ethidium Bromide (AO/EB), DAPI, annexin V-FITC/PI, Rhodamine-123 and MitoSOX red assay. Western blot studies demonstrated that the compound 8l treatment led to activation of caspase-3, increased expression of cleaved PARP, increased expression of pro-apoptotic Bax and decreased expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 in MDA-MB-231 cancer cells.

AN - 1816638404; 27498253 AB - Large amount of iodinated contrast media (ICM) are found in natural waters (up to μg.L(-)(1) levels) due to their worldwide use in medical imaging and their poor removal by conventional wastewater treatment. Synthetic water samples containing different ICM and natural organic matter (NOM) extracts were subjected to UV254 irradiation followed by the addition of chlorine (HOCl) or chloramine (NH2Cl) to simulate final disinfection. In this study, two new quantum yields were determined for diatrizoic acid (0.071 mol.Einstein(-1)) and iotalamic acid (0.038 mol.Einstein(-1)) while values for iopromide (IOP) (0.039 mol.Einstein(-1)), iopamidol (0.034 mol.Einstein(-1)) and iohexol (0.041 mol.Einstein(-1)) were consistent with published data. The photodegradation of IOP led to an increasing release of iodide with increasing UV doses. Iodide is oxidized to hypoiodous acid (HOI) either by HOCl or NH2Cl. In presence of NOM, the addition of oxidant increased the formation of iodinated disinfection by-products (I-DBPs). On one hand, when the concentration of HOCl was increased, the formation of I-DBPs decreased since HOI was converted to iodate. On the other hand, when NH2Cl was used the formation of I-DBPs was constant for all concentration since HOI reacted only with NOM to form I-DBPs. Increasing the NOM concentration has two effects, it decreased the photodegradation of IOP by screening effect but it increased the number of reactive sites available for reaction with HOI. For experiments carried out with HOCl, increasing the NOM concentration led to a lower formation of I-DBPs since less IOP are photodegraded and iodate are formed. For NH2Cl the lower photodegradation of IOP is compensated by the higher amount of NOM reactive sites, therefore, I-DBPs concentrations were constant for all NOM concentrations. 7 different NOM extracts were tested and almost no differences in IOP degradation and I-DBPs formation was observed. Similar behaviour was observed for the 5 ICM tested. Both oxidant poorly degraded the ICM and a higher formation of I-DBPs was observed for the chloramination experiments compared to the chlorination experiment. Results from toxicity testing showed that the photodegradation products of IOP are toxic and confirmed that the formation of I-DBPs leads to higher toxicity. Therefore, for the experiment with HOCl where iodate are formed the toxicity was lower than for the experiments with NH2Cl where a high formation of I-DBPs was observed.

AN - 1807887348; 27442150 AB - A novel pipette-tip based on nano-sized dummy molecularly imprinted polymer (PT-DMIP) assisted by ultrasonication for the effective enrichment and analysis of prednisolone from urine samples was developed. The PT-DMIP cartridge was prepared by packing the dummy molecularly imprinted polymer at the tip of the micropipette. The polymerization used betamethasone (BM) as the dummy template, 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS) as the functionalized monomer, tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as the cross-linker and aluminum ion (Al(3+)) as a dopant to produce Lewis acid sites in the silica matrix for metal coordinative interactions with the analyte. Compared to conventional solid phase extraction (SPE), the PT-DMIP is cost-effective, fast, and easy to handle, while the system is very approachable and reduces the consumption of toxic organic solvent. HPLC-UV analysis revealed successful applicability of the sorbent for highly efficient extraction of perdnisolone from urine matrices. The extraction recovery was investigated and optimum conditions were obtained using central composite design. Good linearity for prednisolone in the range of 0.22-220μgL(-1) with regression coefficients of 0.99 reveals high applicability of the method for trace analysis. Under the optimized conditions, the recoveries are 89.0-96.1 with relative standard deviations (RSD) of less than 9.0%. Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

The ACTA is based on Pinch Analysis, but is automated by taking into consideration the possibility of zero liquid discharge (ZLD) for the water network. In the existing literature, the targeting procedure for ZLD network is based on the graphical tool of Limiting Composite Curve (LCC). However, identification of key parameters (i.e. freshwater, wastewater, regenerated water flowrates, along with pre-regeneration concentrations) is very tedious for highly integrated water network system. The magnification around the turning point of LCC is required to identify the correct pinch points and targeting procedure is done iteratively until the reliable network targets can be determined. These limitations are now overcome by the ACTA, which is an improved version of Composite Table Algorithm that is capable of identifying key parameters algebraically for a given post-regeneration concentration. The newly developed ACTA is capable of handling a wide range of problems including ZLD and non-ZLD network, for both fixed load and fixed flowrate problems.

Shoot and root growth of five legume and one grass species was assessed in response to six rates of P mixed into the top 45 mm of soil in a pot experiment. Dactylis glomerata and Trifolium subterraneum were used as benchmark species; they are commonly grown together in mixed temperate pastures and have low and high critical external requirements for P, respectively. Growth was compared with four alternative legume species: Ornithopus compressus, Ornithopus sativus, Biserrula pelecinus and Trifolium hirtum, that have root morphologies better suited to soil exploration and nutrient acquisition than that of Trifolium subterraneum. Dactylis glomerata, Ornithopus compressus and Ornithopus sativus had maximum yields equal to or greater than Trifolium subterraneum but achieved this at rates of P less than half that of Trifolium subterraneum. Biserrula pelecinus and Trifolium hirtum had critical P requirements between that of Trifolium subterraneum and the Ornithopus species, but also had lower yields. Root dry matter of Dactylis glomerata and the Ornithopus species in the fertilised soil layer was only marginally changed in response to low P supply. In contrast, Trifolium subterraneum, Trifolium hirtum and to a lesser extent Biserrula pelecinus markedly increased root dry matter allocation to this soil layer. Species with lower critical P requirements were able to take up more P per unit root dry mass than those with higher critical P requirements, particularly at lower levels of P addition. The high P acquisition efficiencies of the Ornithopus species and Dactylis glomerata were likely to have contributed to their low critical external P requirements. It was surmised that differences in root morphology traits underpin the differences in acclimation to low P stress and P acquisition efficiency among the species.

Experts are often relied upon to help, but their role is generally restricted to providing facts and judgements to populate an existing prioritisation model, which in turn receives little scrutiny. We developed and applied a new prioritisation framework to guide biocontrol investment decisions by livestock industries that required eliciting experts' functional understanding (including their in-depth knowledge of the theoretical and practical drivers of weed biocontrol programmes). This consultative and transparent framework drew on expertise from most biocontrol practitioners in Australia through a structured workshop, and the literature. Each of the 75 weed taxa considered was placed in a matrix according to their impact (current or potential) and the prospects of biocontrol achieving pre-defined management goals. There was considerable knowledge uncertainty regarding potential impacts, which is of concern when making pre-emptive investments. Feasibility (likelihood of finding host-specific agents) and likelihood of success (management goals being met, assuming that host-specific agents are available) of biocontrol were both assessed as low for 51 % of taxa. Predicted barriers to successful biocontrol were diverse and idiosyncratic, suggesting that application of more quantitative prioritisation approaches would be challenging. A short-list of 13 weed taxa was identified for further consideration as biocontrol targets, based on the trade-off between potential impact and prospects for biocontrol. Research priorities emerged from the prioritisation process that would maximise investment outcomes for each taxon. Only two short-listed taxa are new targets, reflecting the maturity of the biocontrol discipline targeting weeds of livestock industries in Australia. Accessing the in-depth functional understanding of experts resulted in explicit characterisation of the barriers to successful biocontrol and if/how they might be overcome, improved characterisation of uncertainty, and provided directed guidance for investment. Such an approach would be readily applicable to analogous decision-making challenges in other sectors and countries.

The impact of soluble AOM released from Microcystis aeruginosa and Chlorella sp. separately and together in feedwater on the fouling of a tubular ceramic microfiltration membrane (alumina, 0.1 mu m) was studied at lab scale. Multi-cycle MF tests operated in constant pressure mode showed that the AOM (3 mg DOC L-1) extracted from the cultures of the two algae in early log phase of growth (12 days) resulted in less flux decline compared with the AOM from stationary phase (35 days), due to the latter containing significantly greater amounts of high fouling potential components (protein and humic-like substances). The AOM released from Chlorella sp. at stationary phase led to considerably greater flux decline and irreversible fouling resistance compared with that from M. aeruginosa. The mixture of the AOM (1:1, 3 mg DOC L-1) from the two algal species showed more similar flux decline and irreversible fouling resistance to the AOM from M. aeruginosa than Chlorella sp. This was due to the characteristics of the AOM mixture being more similar to those for M. aeruginosa than Chlorella sp. The extent of the flux decline for the AOM mixture after conventional coagulation with aluminium chlorohydrate or alum was reduced by 70%.

The growing number of permitted nutritional content/health claims, many of which relate to well-being, coupled with emerging extraction and food processing technologies offers new exciting opportunities for small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) specializing in fresh produce to play an active role in the health market. Supporting SMEs, governments could benefit from savings in healthcare costs and value creation in the economy. Consumers could benefit from novel FF formats such as refrigerated RTE (ready-to-eat) meals, a variety of fresh-like meat-, fish-, and egg-based products, fresh-cut fruits and vegetables, cereal-based fermented foods and beverages. To preserve these valuable commodities, mild biological (enzymatic treatment, fermentation and, bio-preservation) and engineering solutions are needed. The latter include nonthermal techniques such as high-pressure treatment, cook-chill, sous-vide, mirco-encapsulation, vacuum impregnation and others. "De-constructive" culinary techniques such as 3D food printing and molecular gastronomy as well as developments in nutrigenomics and digital technologies facilitate novel product formats, personalization and access to niche markets.

Reforestation and agroforestry options for environmental benefits, carbon sequestration, economic development and biodiversity conservation are now important considerations of land use planners. New information has been collected and regionally-calibrated models have been developed to facilitate better regional land use planning decisions and counter the limitations of currently available models of reforestation productivity and carbon sequestration. Surveys of above-ground biomass of 264 reforestation sites (132 woodlots, 132 environmental plantings) within the agricultural regions of South Australia were conducted, and combined with spatial information on climate and soils, to develop new spatial and temporal models of plant density and above-ground biomass productivity from reforestation. The models can be used to estimate productivity and total carbon sequestration (i.e. above-ground + below-ground biomass) under a continuous range of planting designs (e.g. variable proportions of trees and shrubs or plant densities), timeframes and future climate scenarios. Representative spatial models (1 ha resolution) for 3 reforestation designs (i.e. woodlots, typical environmental planting, biodiverse environmental plantings) 3 timeframes (i.e. 25, 45, 65 years) 4 possible climates (i.e. no change, mild, moderate, severe warming and drying) were generated (i.e. 36 scenarios) for use within land use planning tools.

AN - 1826734948; 27465106 AB - Microalgae use various cellular mechanisms to detoxify both non-essential and excess essential metals or metalloids. There exists however, a threshold in intracellular metal(loid) concentrations beyond which detoxification mechanisms are no longer effective and inhibition of cell division inevitably occurs. It is therefore important to determine whether the availability of energy in the cell could constrain metal(loid) detoxification capacity and to better define the thresholds beyond which a metal(loid) becomes toxic. To do this we performed the first extensive bioenergetics analysis of intracellular metal(loid) detoxification mechanisms (e.g., metal-binding peptides, polyphosphate granules, metal efflux, metal and metalloid reduction, metalloid methylation, enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants) in wild-type eukaryotic phytoplankton based on the biochemical mechanisms of each detoxification strategy and on experimental measurements of detoxifying biomolecules in the literature. The results show that at the onset of metal(loid) toxicity to growth, all the detoxification strategies considered required only a small fraction of the total cellular energy available for growth indicating that intracellular detoxification ability in wild-type eukaryotic phytoplankton species is not constrained by the availability of cellular energy. The present study brings new insights into metal(loid) toxicity mechanisms and detoxification strategies in wild-type eukaryotic phytoplankton.

Assuming that both CSR and CSRR are outcomes of boards' decisions, this paper proposes that examining boards' decision making processes with regard to CSR would provide more insight into the link between board diversity and CSR. Particularly, the paper stresses the importance of studies linking gender diversity and CSR decision making processes, which is quite rare in the existing literature. It also highlights the importance of more qualitative methods and longitudinal studies for the development of understanding of the diversity-CSR relationship. JF - Journal of Business Ethics : JBE.

AN - 1817553936; 27462027 AB - The toxicity of particulate matter emitted from waste-to-energy plants, is associated to the compounds attached to the particles, several of which have been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in the Group 1 carcinogens. In this paper a modified risk-assessment model, deriving from an existing one, was applied to estimate the lung cancer risk related to both ultrafine and coarse particles emitted from an incinerator whose people living nearby are exposed to. To this end, the measured values of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), heavy metals (As, Cd, Ni) and PCDD/Fs (Polychlorinated dibenzodioxins/furans) emitted from an incinerator placed in Italy were used to calculate the Excess Lifetime Cancer Risk (ELCR) at the stack of the plant. The estimated ELCR was then used as input data in a numerical CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) model that solves the mass, momentum, turbulence and species transport equations to study the influence of wind speed and chimney height on the ELCR at receptor sites. Furthermore, combining meteorological data (wind speed and direction), and hypothesizing different exposure scenarios on the basis of time-activity patterns of people living nearby the plant, specific risk maps were obtained by evaluating ELCR around the incinerator. Results show that with the increasing of wind speed, the ELCR value downwind at the plant decreases and its point of maximum risk becomes closer to the stack. On the other hand, increasing the stack height decreases the ELCR, moving away from the stack the point of maximum risk. Finally, the risk maps for people living or working nearby the plant have highlighted that the excess risk of lung cancer due to the presence of the incinerator is below the WHO target (1×10(-5)).

However, benchmarked indirect alpha retrieval methods are lacking and thus it is common for this pivotal correction to be ignored. In this paper we validate an alpha retrieval method using a 3D radiative transfer simulation framework, enabling the retrieval method to be benchmarked against a known and precise model truth. The 3D framework consists of a representative and highly detailed 3D explicit Eucalypt forest reconstructed from field measurements. The 3D structure is coupled with a 3D scattering model to enable simulation of remote sensing instruments. The retrieval method utilises classified hemispherical photography 'HP', but is applicable to all ground-based optical instruments that can separate leaf and woody elements. The method is applicable to evergreen forests and thus independent of the estimation of PAI or LAI. The unknown degree of mutual shading or occlusion of leaf and woody elements was traditionally a key impediment to the operational use of this method and was therefore closely examined. The indirect alpha method utilising classified HP imagery agreed on average to within 0.01 alpha of the reference ( alpha ref =0.37). In addition, the method demonstrated robustness to a range of LAI, stem density, and stem distribution values, matching to within plus or minus 0.05 alpha of the reference. Angular dependence on indirect alpha retrieval was also found; where the entire HP image (180 degree FOV) was needed to produce the most accurate estimate. Conversely, the classified narrow view zenith angle range around 55-60 degree zenith also provided an alpha estimate matching the reference. At this narrow zenith angle the method is insensitive to leaf angle distribution. As such, careful consideration of zenith angle range utilised from the instrument is recommended. The results demonstrate the method's applicability for accurate indirect estimation of alpha in single-storey forest types. The simple and efficient method can be used to convert estimates of PAI into LAI from a variety of optical ground-based instruments. Quantitative alpha estimates can and should be used to aid interpretation of the remote sensing signal from satellite imagery, which has been shown to be sensitive to the proportion and spatial distribution of woody canopy materials.

AN - 1859730349; 27640170 AB - Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a DNA virus that belongs to the papillomavirus family and is capable of infecting humans. Currently, few vaccines are available to prevent infection by HPV. However, they are not so much effective and provide little benefit to women who have already been infected with HPV. The aim of this study was to design epitope-based vaccines of HPV58 by targeting E6 and E7 proteins of HPV58. Proteomic sequences were retrieved from different isolates at different time periods and later analyzed by performing alignment of these sequences. To ensure the capacity of humoral and cell-mediated immunity, both B cell and T cell immunity were checked for the peptides. For E6 protein, the peptide sequence from 48 to 54 amino acids and one 9-m epitope ETSVHEIEL were the most potential B cell and T cell epitopes, respectively. This peptide could interact with as many as eight MHC-1 alleles and showed high population coverage up to 90.31 %. On the other hand, the peptide region for the E7 protein ranged from 27 to 33 amino acids and two 9-m epitopes QAQPATANY, SSDEDEIGL were found as the most potential B cell and T cell epitopes, respectively. The peptide sequences could interact with as many as seven MHC-1 alleles and showed population coverage up to 90.31 %. Furthermore, conservancy analysis was also performed using in silico tools and showed a conservancy of 100 % for all the selected epitopes. In addition to this, the allergenicity of the epitopes was also evaluated. Although the study requires further in vitro and in vivo screening, this epitope-focused peptide vaccine designing opens up a new skyline that holds a prospective future in HPV research.

AN - 1801861802; 27318714 AB - The increasing concerns on toxicity of sulfonamide antibiotics in water require a prompt action to establish efficient wastewater treatment processes for their removal. In this study, adsorptive removal of a model sulfonamide antibiotic, sulfachloropyridazine (SCP), from wastewater is presented for the first time using a metal organic framework (MOF). A high surface area and thermally stable MOF, HKUST-1, was synthesized by a facile method. Batch adsorption studies were systematically carried out using HKUST-1. The high surface area and unsaturated metal sites resulted in a significant adsorption capacity with faster kinetics. Most of the SCP was removed in 15min and the kinetic data were best fitted with the pseudo second order model. Moreover, isothermal data were best fitted with the Langmuir model. The thermodynamic results showed that the adsorption is a spontaneous and endothermic process. The adsorption capacity of HKUST-1 is 384mg/g at 298K which is the highest compared to most of the materials for the antibiotics. The high adsorption capacity is attributed mainly to π-π stacking, hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions. Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

By overcoming the data scaling problem in ecology, this integrative framework will provide richer information and fast learning to enable a deeper understanding of biodiversity evolution and dynamics in a rapidly changing world. The Atlas of Living Australia is used as one example of the advantages of progressing towards this future. Living in this future will require the adoption of new ways of integrating scientific knowledge into societal decision making.This article is part of the themed issue 'From DNA barcodes to biomes'.

AN - 1816634312; 27402837 AB - Macrophages play crucial roles in combatting infectious disease by promoting inflammation and phagocytosis. Angiopoietin-like protein 2 (ANGPTL2) is a secreted factor that induces tissue inflammation by attracting and activating macrophages to produce inflammatory cytokines in chronic inflammation-associated diseases such as obesity-associated metabolic syndrome, atherosclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Here, we asked whether and how ANGPTL2 activates macrophages in the innate immune response. ANGPTL2 was predominantly expressed in proinflammatory mouse bone marrow-derived differentiated macrophages (GM-BMMs) following GM-CSF treatment relative to anti-inflammatory cells (M-BMMs) established by M-CSF treatment. Expression of the proinflammatory markers IL-1β, IL-12p35, and IL-12p40 significantly decreased in GM-BMMs from Angptl2-deficient compared with wild-type (WT) mice, suggestive of attenuated proinflammatory activity. We also report that ANGPTL2 inflammatory signaling is transduced through integrin α5β1 rather than through paired immunoglobulin-like receptor B. Interestingly, Angptl2-deficient mice were more susceptible to infection with Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium than were WT mice. Moreover, nitric oxide (NO) production by Angptl2-deficient GM-BMMs was significantly lower than in WT GM-BMMs. Collectively, our findings suggest that macrophage-derived ANGPTL2 promotes an innate immune response in those cells by enhancing proinflammatory activity and NO production required to fight infection. © 2016 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.

The preliminary screening by Plackett-Burman's design revealed that among the tested factors, glucose, urea and NaHCO sub(3) significantly (p<0.05) enhanced the urease production. Further optimization of urease production by B. megaterium through RSM was achieved as 879UmL super(-1) in the presence of glucose (21.7gL super(-1)), urea (21.1gL super(-1)) and NaHCO sub(3) (1.9gL super(-1)) compared to 640UmL super(-1) in unoptimized medium. The effect of different factors seems to promote the growth of bacterial isolate leading to improvement in urease production. As production of carbonates by ureolytic bacteria is dependent on urease enzyme, improvement in enzyme production enhanced the carbonate precipitation efficacy to 1.7-fold in optimized medium. Carbonic anhydrase production also increased from 120UmL super(-1) to 190UmL super(-1) in optimized medium.

In order to boost irrigation, 570 tube wells per year were installed during 2002-2008, and 12,000 wells per year were installed during 2009-2013, contributing to higher groundwater (GW) withdrawal. However, the impact of tube wells on GW storage levels has not been well-studied, both spatially and temporally. Hence, this study used remote sensing data from NASA's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment and the Global Land Data Assimilation Systems to assess change in GW storage. Results showed that GW is being depleted at 8, 5.3, and 14.7 cm (Billion Cubic Meters)/year during the study period. After tube well intensification, the state-wide average net GW recharge was 15.33 BCM/year, while the net GW discharge was at 19 BCM/year. The spatiotemporal GW storage data presented in this paper will benefit managers and policymakers in identifying suitable mitigation plans for future management of GW resources.

The newly developed method was validated using raw wastewater seeded with known numbers of A. caninum ova. Results of this study confirmed that PMA-qPCR has resulted in average of 88 % reduction (P < 0.05) in gene copy numbers for 50 % viable +50 % non-viable when compared with 100 % viable ova. A reduction of 100 % in gene copies was observed for 100 % non-viable ova when compared with 100 % viable ova. Similar reductions (79-80 %) in gene copies were observed for A. caninum ova-seeded raw wastewater samples (n = 18) collected from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) A and B. The newly developed PMA-qPCR method was applied to determine the viable ova of different helminths (A. caninum, A. duodenale, Necator americanus and Ascaris lumbricoides) in raw wastewater, human fecal and soil samples. None of the unseeded wastewater samples were positive for the above-mentioned helminths. N. americanus and A. lumbricoides ova were found in unseeded human fecal and soil samples. For the unseeded human fecal samples (1 g), an average gene copy concentration obtained from qPCR and PMA-qPCR was found to be similar (6.8 10 super(5) plus or minus 6.4 10 super(5) and 6.3 10 super(5) plus or minus 4.7 10 super(5)) indicating the presence of viable N. americanus ova. Among the 24 unseeded soil samples tested, only one was positive for A. lumbricoides. The mean gene copy concentration in the positively identified soil sample was 1.0 10 super(5) plus or minus 1.5 10 super(4) (determined by qPCR) compared to 4.9 10 super(4) plus or minus 3.7 10 super(3) (determined by PMA-qPCR). The newly developed PMA-qPCR methods were able to detect viable helminth ova from wastewater and soil samples and could be adapted for health risk assessment.

Such differences could, in agricultural situations in particular (where inorganic nutrients are often added), result from substantial concentrations of inorganic-N, inorganic-P and inorganic-S that remain in the soil. We assessed the efficacy of removal of inorganic nutrients with different washing procedures (0.1 or 0.5m hydrochloric acid solution). Even after repeated additions of inorganic-N, inorganic-S and inorganic-P to soil as part of a long-term incubation experiment, washing soil with 0.1m HCl was effective at removing residual inorganic-N and inorganic-S, but not effective at removing inorganic-P. We demonstrate that estimates of C:N, C:S and C:P ratios in FF-SOM can be substantially underestimated when these washing procedures are not carried out as part of the soil analyses. This leads to overestimation of the amounts of N, P and S that are required for co-sequestration of C during the formation of FF-SOM. Because P is essential for the formation of FF-SOM, more research is needed to obtain an accurate measure of the P required per unit of FF-SOM. Although washing with 0.1m HCl also removed some FF-C, we suggest a method to compensate for this. We tested the procedure on soil with clay contents ranging from 8 to 60%; however, the stronger acid might be more suitable for soil with larger clay contents. Highlights * What is the best method to measure the size and stoichiometry of the stable soil organic matter pool? * Enlarging this soil organic matter pool could help restore fertility and mitigate climate change. * Washing soil with dilute acid can remove excess inorganic nutrients, but it also removes organic carbon. * We recommend the size of the pool on unwashed soil and the stoichiometry on washed soil is measured.

Pilot studies and exploratory analyses that investigate the precision of sampling regimes may reduce the chances of erroneous results and can be used to optimise processing time in larger ecological research programs. In our study, we calculated optimal precision estimates for sampling macroinvertebrates and ichthyofauna in surf-zone wrack accumulations by investigating the precision of the mean for sub-samples of seine nets and also for the number of replicate seine nets to guide future sampling regimes. We discovered that the processing time for individual seine net samples could be reduced by 50% using sub-sampling and that time to process replicate seine net samples could be reduced by 25% while maintaining acceptable precision. In future, we suggest that the use of pilot studies with similar exploratory approaches should be less of an exception and more a critical component of ecological investigations, particularly in under-studied or newly-developing areas of research. Further, these types of exploratory approaches are crucially important in a variety of extremely patchy environments where variability is likely to be high.

Thus, it will also be beneficial to the existing mineral extraction industry. This process combines membrane distillation (MD) with crystallization. While MD produces water and concentrates the feed, crystalliser forms crystals from supersaturated minerals in the concentrated feed. This review covers principles of this process, factors affecting membrane crystallization for water treatment, application of membrane crystallization, resource recovery and the fouling of membrane crystallization. Membrane crystallization could recover many minerals including sodium, magnesium, barium, strontium, and lithium. However, fouling is a major challenge for its widespread implementation. Further directions for future research and development of this process are also considered with a view to the sustainable operation of the process.

After accounting for traditional factors, there still remains a considerable unexplained variance in RMR. There is a pandemic of obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) which coexists with a high prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential effects of vitamin D status, insulin sensitivity (IS) and the metabolic syndrome (MetS) on RMR in Australian adults. RMR, respiratory quotient (RQ), McAuley's insulin sensitivity index, fat mass (FM), fat-free mass (FFM) and vitamin D status were assessed in Australian adults. The presence of MetS was evaluated by current standard criteria. Predictors of RMR were examined through multiple linear regression based on stepwise and backward regression approaches with attention to multi-collinearity. All analyses were conducted on SPSS version 21. One hundred and twenty-seven participants (45 men, 82 women), aged 53.4 plus or minus 11.7 years and BMI 31.9 plus or minus 5.2 kg/m super(2), were included. Forty-one subjects were insufficient in vitamin D status (<50 nmol/L), and 75 participants had the MetS. A parsimonious regression model explained 85.8 % of RMR and was given by: RMR (kJ/d) = 1931 + 83.5 FFM (kg) + 29.5 FM (kg) + 5.65 25(OH)D (nmol/L) - 17.6 age (years) - 57.51 IS. Vitamin D status and IS are novel independent predictors of RMR in adults. Future studies could validate a causal role for these factors in human energy metabolism.

Under oxic conditions, MTB in natural environments in the Northern Hemisphere generally display north-seeking (NS) polarity, swimming parallel to the Earth's magnetic field lines, while those in the Southern Hemisphere generally swim antiparallel to magnetic field lines (south-seeking [SS] polarity). Here, we report a population of an uncultured, monotrichously flagellated, and vibrioid MTB collected from a brackish lagoon in Brazil in the Southern Hemisphere that consistently exhibits NS polarity. Cells of this organism were mainly located below the oxic-anoxic interface (OAI), suggesting it is capable of some type of anaerobic metabolism. Magnetosome crystalline habit and composition were consistent with elongated prismatic magnetite (Fe3O4) particles. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing indicated that this organism belongs to a distinct clade of the Gammaproteobacteria class. The presence of NS MTB in the Southern Hemisphere and the previously reported finding of SS MTB in the Northern Hemisphere reinforce the idea that magnetotaxis is more complex than we currently understand and may be modulated by factors other than O2 concentration and redox gradients in sediments and water columns. IMPORTANCE Magnetotaxis is a navigational mechanism used by magnetotactic bacteria to move along geomagnetic field lines and find an optimal position in chemically stratified sediments. For that, magnetotactic bacteria swim parallel to the geomagnetic field lines under oxic conditions in the Northern Hemisphere, whereas those in the Southern Hemisphere swim antiparallel to magnetic field lines. A population of uncultured vibrioid magnetotactic bacteria was discovered in a brackish lagoon in the Southern Hemisphere that consistently swim northward, i.e., the opposite of the overwhelming majority of other Southern Hemisphere magnetotactic bacteria. This finding supports the idea that magnetotaxis is more complex than previously thought.

In September 2011, the Lions New South Wales Eye Bank (LNSWEB) moved from hypothermic storage to Organ Culture corneal storage. This study evaluates the impact of implementation of Organ Culture on donor eye retrieval and the corneal transplant waiting list over a 3 year period in NSW, Australia. Retrospective review of the LNSWEB data from September 2011 to August 2014. Tissue collection, waiting list and tissue utilization data were recorded. The data from September 2008 to August 2011 for Optisol-GS storage was used for comparison. The annual donor and cornea collection rate increased 35 % and 44 % respectively with Organ Culture compared to Optisol-GS storage. The utilization rate of corneal tissue increased from 73.4 % with hypothermic storage to 77.2 % with Organ Culture storage. The transplant wait list decreased by 77.3 % from September 2011 to August 2014 and correlated with the increased rate of corneal transplantation (r = -0.9381, p < 0.0001). No other factors impacting the wait list changed over this period. Corneas not used from either storage method were due to unacceptable endothelial cell density/viability. The contamination rate of corneas stored in Organ Culture medium was low at 1.74 %. The Organ Culture storage method increases the corneal donor pool available to Eye banks. The practical benefits of the extended storage time and increased donor assessment opportunities have directly led to an increase in corneal utilization rate and a significant decrease in recipient wait list time.

She narrates that she borrowed her husband's car to drive two new clients around. However, he forgot to mention that the fuel gauge was broken. While it looked like the gas tank was full, after a few showings, the car started to die in the middle of a busy street. Luckily, she was able to pull over to the shoulder before the car went completely kaput. She was mortified and frantically began calling for a tow truck.

Uncertainty over the nature and extent of change creates challenges for how to manage ecosystems subject to altered structure and function under climate change. Using montane forests in south-eastern Australia as a case study, we addressed this issue by developing an ecosystem state-and-transition model based on a synthesis of expert knowledge and published data, with fire frequency and intensity as drivers. We then used four steps to determine future adaptation options: (1) estimation of changes in ecosystem services under each ecosystem state to identify adaptation services: the ecosystem processes and services that help people adapt to environmental change; (2) identification and sequencing of decision points to maintain each ecosystem state or allow transition to an alternative state; (3) analysis of interactions between societal values, scientific and management knowledge and institutional rules (vrk) required to reframe the decision context for future management, and (4) determining options for an adaptation pathway for management of montane forests under climate change. Our approach is transferable to other ecosystems for which alternative states can be predicted under climate change.

For young people at an important life stage transitioning from childhood to adulthood, contributing factors to social exclusion and the consequences of social exclusion will vary. Using specialised data from the 2011 Australian Census, supplemented with national school assessment data, we use a domains approach to construct an index that is representative of youth at risk of social exclusion, using a combination of principal components and equal weighting techniques. The index provides important information that can inform direct policy action, especially in areas where the extent of relative multi-dimensional disadvantage is worse.

AN - 1812879971; 27523603 AB - The presence of nitrogenous disinfection by-products (N-DBPs) in drinking water supplies is a public health concern, particularly since some N-DBPs have been reported to be more toxic than the regulated trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids. In this paper, a comprehensive evaluation of the presence of N-DBPs in 10 drinking water supply systems in Western Australia is presented. A suite of 28 N-DBPs, including N-nitrosamines, haloacetonitriles (HANs), haloacetamides (HAAms) and halonitromethanes (HNMs), were measured and evaluated for relationships with bulk parameters in the waters before disinfection. A number of N-DBPs were frequently detected in disinfected waters, although at generally low concentrations (<10 ng/L for N-nitrosamines and <10 μg/L for other N-DBPs) and below health guideline values where they exist. While there were no clear relationships between N-DBP formation and organic nitrogen in the pre-disinfection water, N-DBP concentrations were significantly correlated with dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and ammonia, and these, in addition to high bromide in one of the waters, led to elevated concentrations of brominated HANs (26.6 μg/L of dibromoacetonitrile). There were significant differences in the occurrence of all classes of N-DBPs between chlorinated and chloraminated waters, except for HNMs, which were detected at relatively low concentrations in both water types. Trends observed in one large distribution system suggest that N-DBPs can continue to form or degrade within distribution systems, and redosing of disinfectant may cause further by-product formation.

Furthermore, the use of marginal effects to interpret relationships has resulted in confusing and inaccurate conclusions. This paper recommends simpler and more informative alternatives to the calculation and reporting of marginal effects. In particular, two key recommendations involve choosing and explicitly stating a suitable measurement scale for dependent variables and explicitly stating whether relationships with independent variables are multiplicative or additive effects. These recommendations for reporting hypotheses, analysis and interpretations will not only improve the precision of future research but also provide superior interpretations of past literature. Significantly, this paper shows how standard regression coefficients can be used to interpret relationships between variables for any values of all variables. Other approaches such as the recommended inclusion of marginal effects and plots requires fixing other variables to specific values (such as their mean value) and so are of less value to readers.

The main contributions of this paper are: i) a novel algorithm based on the compressed sensing theory is developed to recover traffic data with Gaussian measurement noise, partial data missing, and corrupted noise; ii) the accuracy of traffic state estimation (TSE) is improved by using Markov random field and total variation (TV) regularization, with introduction of smoothness prior; and iii) a recent TSE method is extended to handle traffic state variables with high dimension. Numerical experiments and field data are used to test performances of these proposed methods; consistent and satisfactory results are obtained.

Australian bushfire authorities have policies and publicity about what households should do to be prepared - which include knowledge about fire risk, awareness of one's own risk, taking specific steps to reduce risk including having an emergency plan. Yet, there is sparse empirical evidence about the link between preparedness and actual behaviour in the face of a major disaster. The authors had an opportunity to examine the circumstances surrounding the 172 civilian fatalities which occurred in the 2009 Victorian 'Black Saturday' bushfires, through the examination of a detailed fatality dataset compiled by the Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission. This dataset allows detailed examination of Victorian bushfire safety policy ('Stay or go') in action on a day of extreme fire danger: from preparedness (both before and on the day of the fire) to behaviour on the day of the fire itself. This analysis presents three overarching findings. First, some aspects of 'Stay or go' appear to be supported: being well-prepared to evacuate remains the safest option in a bushfire; sheltering passively is very dangerous. Second, successful implementation of 'Stay or go' depends on a multitude of factors, which can challenge even the most capable householders. Third, events like Black Saturday challenge the 'Stay or go' approach, and indicate the need for a different approach on extreme fire danger days. We conclude by reflecting on the findings from this research in terms of the most recent changes to bushfire policy in Victoria.

The properties of the composites were characterized by a number of techniques such as thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The core/shell materials were much effective in heterogeneous oxone registered activation to generate sulfate and hydroxyl radicals for degradation of aqueous phenol. The McMs composites demonstrated catalytic activity for 100% phenol decomposition in short duration varying between 20 and 120 min, much higher than that of homogeneous Mn2+ system with 95% phenol degradation in 120 min. They also showed a higher activity than single-phase alpha -Mn2O3 or alpha -MnO2. The catalytic activity of phenol degradation depends on temperature, oxone registered concentration, phenol concentration, and catalyst loading. The catalysts also showed a stable activity in several cycles. Kinetic study demonstrated that phenol degradation reactions follow a first order reaction on McMs catalysts giving activation energies at 32.1-68.8 kJ/mol.

However, the effectiveness of iron-based sludge generated from the oxidation of iron which naturally occurs in the ground water has not been investigated. Moreover, influences of dominant metals ions comprised in the treatment plants sludges on P adsorption capacity and rate from wastewater are not yet known. This study, therefore, employed four different groundwater treatment plants sludges iron-based (from the oxidation of iron) and alum-based (from coagulation and flocculation process) to determine their P adsorption capacities and adsorption rates from the synthetic wastewater (SWW) and secondary effluent wastewater (SEWW). Although metals ions concentrations were the highest in the iron-based sludge amongst the sludge used in this study, it appeared to have the lowest P adsorption capacity and adsorption rate. A good correlation between aluminium to iron mass ratio and adsorption capacity for both types of waters were noted. However, a poor relation between aluminium to iron mass ratio and adsorption rates for the SEWW was observed. Further, the tested sludges were found to have a better P removal efficiency and adsorption capacity from the SEWW than from the SWW. Thus, this study demonstrates the ground water treatment plants sludges could be a low cost and effective adsorbent in removing P from wastewater.

However, despite increasing awareness of social networks, there is very limited evidence for their application in relation to climate policy. This study fills this gap by assessing the potential of social networks for engaging local communities in climate adaptation policy, drawing on a case study of the Shoalhaven region in Australia. Participants from key representative groups were recruited using a purposive snowball sampling technique (N = 24). By mapping knowledge acquisition and diffusion networks in relation to climate adaption at the local scale, this study identified key nodes within the networks. Findings demonstrate that although climate adaptation information was acquired from a diverse range of sources, the sharing knowledge networks were far more dispersed. Furthermore, although 165 knowledge sources were identified, three nodes had coverage cross the entire network, and as such acted as boundary spanners within the sharing network. This research demonstrates the utility of social network analysis to reveal the underlying knowledge networks and structures that influence community engagement pathways and in doing so outlines key implications in relation to engaging local communities in climate policy and action. Policy relevance The rapid development of adaptation as a mainstream strategy for managing the risks of climate change has resulted in the emergence of a broad range of adaptation policies and management strategies globally. However, the success of these initiatives is largely dependent on their acceptance and uptake by local communities, which to date remains a significant challenge. Accordingly, policy makers require novel approaches to overcome barriers to community engagement so as to enhance the likely success of community engagement pathways. This article demonstrates the value of using social network analysis to reveal the underlying knowledge network structures. This approach makes it possible to identify key individuals within a community who can disseminate adaptation information quickly across broad geographic ranges. By utilizing this approach, policy makers globally will be able to increase the extent to which adaption initiatives are accepted and adhered to by local communities, thus increasing their success.

Effective adaptation to change requires the efficient use of land, water, energy, and other vital resources, and coordinated efforts to minimize trade-offs and maximize synergies. However, as in many developing countries, the policy process in South Asia generally follows a sectoral approach that does not take into account the interconnections and interdependence among the three sectors. Although the concept of a water-energy-food nexus is gaining currency, and adaptation to climate change has become an urgent need, little effort has been made so far to understand the linkages between the nexus perspective and adaptation to climate change. Using the Hindu Kush Himalayan region as an example, this article seeks to increase understanding of the interlinkages in the water, energy, and food nexus, explains why it is important to consider this nexus in the context of adaptation responses, and argues that focusing on trade-offs and synergies using a nexus approach could facilitate greater climate change adaptation and help ensure food, water, and energy security by enhancing resource use efficiency and encouraging greater policy coherence. It concludes that a nexus-based adaption approach - which integrates a nexus perspective into climate change adaptation plans and an adaptation perspective into development plans - is crucial for effective adaptation. The article provides a conceptual framework for considering the nexus approach in relation to climate change adaptation, discusses the potential synergies, trade-offs, and offers a broader framework for making adaptation responses more effective. Policy relevance This article draws attention to the importance of the interlinkages in the water, energy, and food nexus, and the implications for sustainable development and adaptation. The potential synergies and complementarities among the sectors should be used to guide formulation of effective adaptation options. The issues highlight the need for a shift in policy approaches from a sectoral focus, which can result in competing and counterproductive actions, to an integrated approach with policy coherence among the sectors that uses knowledge of the interlinkages to maximize gain, optimize trade-offs, and avoid negative impacts.

AN - 1808386870; 27397498 AB - A series of new 4'-O-alkylamino-tethered-benzylideneindolin-2-one derivatives has been synthesized and evaluated for their anti-proliferative activity against selected human cancer cell lines of lung (A549), prostate (DU-145), breast (BT549 and MDA-MB-231) and normal breast epithelial cells (MCF-10A). Gratifyingly, the compounds 5j, 5o and 5r exhibited potent cytotoxicity against breast cancer cell lines (BT549 and MDA-MB-231) with IC50 values in the range of 1.26-2.77μM, and are found to be safer with lesser cytotoxicity on normal breast epithelial cells (MCF-10A). Further, experiments were conducted with these compounds 5j, 5o and 5r on MDA-MB-231 cancer cells to study the mechanism of growth inhibition and apoptosis inducing effect. Treatment of MDA-MB-231 cells with test compounds resulted in inhibition of cell migration through disorganization and disruption of F-actin capping protein. The flow-cytometry analysis results showed that the compound 5o arrested MDA-MB-231 cells in G0/G1 phase of cell cycle in a dose dependent manner. Hoechst staining study revealed that the test compounds inhibited tumor cell proliferation through induction of apoptosis. In addition, the mitochondrial membrane potential (DΨm) was affected and the increased level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was noted in MDA-MB-231 cells. Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

To examine this question in absence of relevant strong-motion records, we use a range of different methods to measure the shear-wave velocity profiles and the resulting theoretical site amplification factors (AFs) for 30 sites in the Newcastle area, Australia, in a series of blind comparison studies. The multimethod approach used here combines past seismic cone penetrometer and spectral analysis of surface-wave data, with newly acquired horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio, passive-source surface-wave spatial autocorrelation (SPAC), refraction microtremor (ReMi), and multichannel analysis of surface-wave data. The various measurement techniques predicted a range of different AFs. The SPAC and ReMi techniques have the smallest overall deviation from the median AF for the majority of sites. We show that VS30 can be related to spectral response above a period T of 0.5 s but not necessarily with the maximum amplification according to the modeling done based on the measured shear-wave velocity profiles. Both VS30 and AF values are influenced by the velocity ratio between bedrock and overlying sediments and the presence of surficial thin low-velocity layers (0.5 s do the amplification curves consistently show higher values for soft site classes and lower for hard classes.

AN - 1805761516; 27324624 AB - Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are a class of flame retardant registered as UN POPs due to their persistence in the environment, bioaccumulation potential and toxicity. Replacement novel brominated flame retardants (NBFRs) have exhibited similar health hazards and environmental distribution, becoming recognized as significant contaminants. This work describes the development and validation of a sensitive and reliable method for the simultaneous quantitation of PBDEs and NBFRs in environmental soil samples using selective pressurized liquid extraction (S-PLE) and gas chromatography coupled to triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC-(EI)-MS/MS). Under optimal conditions, extraction of eight PBDEs (-28, -47, -99, -100, -153, -154, -183 and -209) and five NBFRs; pentabromotoluene (PBT), pentabromoethylbenzene (PBEB), hexabromobenzene (HBB), 2-ethylhexyl-2,3,4,5-tetrabromobenzoate (EH-TBB) and bis(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy)ethane (BTBPE) was performed at 100°C and 1500psi using a 1:1 mixture of hexane and dichloromethane. The method utilized 33mL capacity PLE cells containing, from bottom to top, a single cellulose filter, 3g activated Florisil, 6g acid silica (10% w/w), 3g Na2SO4, another cellulose filter, 2g activated copper powder and 3g soil sample dispersed in 2g Na2SO4 and 1g of Hydromatrix. The method was evaluated by repeated extraction and analysis of all analytes from 3g soil at three spike concentrations. Good recoveries were observed for most analytes at each of the spiking levels with RSD values generally below 20%. MDLs ranged from 0.01 to 4.8ng/g dw for PBDEs and 0.01-0.55ng/g dw for NBFRs. The described one-step combined extraction and cleanup method reduces sample processing times compared with traditional procedures, while delivering comparable analytical performance. The method was successfully applied to environmental soil samples (n=5), detecting PBDEs in each sample and providing the first account of NBFR contamination in Australian soils.

We report U-Pb ages and trace-element and Hf-isotopic signatures of detrital zircons from the Madura Shelf (onshore Bight Basin), Western Australia. These zircons include a geochemically distinct 106 Ma component with age and Hf characteristics that match SLIP volcanics some 2300 km distant in eastern Australia. This young subpopulation shows limited grain abrasion, which contrasts with older detrital components that are stratigraphically persistent. Regional detrital zircon provenance demonstrates that sediment routing systems were disconnected in the eastern and western Bight Basin, negating terrestrial transport mechanisms as a possible vector of the zircons from the SLIP to their recovered position. Palynology indicates that the 106 Ma zircons are syn-depositional, and we interpret them as being significantly transported in an eruption plume. Given the grain size and distance from source, such distal zircon emplacement suggests previously undocumented 106 Ma super-eruptions. The 106 Ma zircons likely reflect Southern Hemisphere winter eruptions when tropospheric polar easterly winds would have been favored across southeastern Australia.

Electron backscatter diffraction mapping has identified 12 unique orientations of monazite deformation twins, including 7 orientations that have not previously been described in experiments or nature. Other shock features include planar deformation bands and strain-free neoblasts, which have been shown to date deformation. Shock-twinned zircon inclusions within the deformed monazite require pressures of 20 GPa, thus providing critical empirical constraints on formation conditions, confirming a hypervelocity impact origin of the monazite microstructures. The Vredefort monazite grains described here represent the first case of using shocked mineral inclusions to empirically calibrate shock microstructures formed in the host mineral. These results conclusively establish monazite as a recorder of shock deformation, and highlight its use in identifying and dating impact structures.

Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed 19 distinct classes that were associated with the vehicles' manufacturer and model, and in the case of Australian manufacturers, the years of manufacture. Linear discriminant analysis based on the PCA groupings gave excellent discrimination between the groups with 96.9% of the calibration set and 97.6% of the validation set being correctly classified. Although the sample set comprised only vehicles available in Australia, the methodology used is universal and hence applicable in any jurisdiction that is willing and able to generate a statistically significant data set and maintain and update it as new vehicles appear on the market. A FT-Raman spectroscopy-based database would rapidly provide information regarding vehicle origin and manufacture and hence generate investigative leads for questioned paint samples found at incident sites.

Differences in dietary behaviours also exist between various ethnic groups worldwide, and are apparent within multicultural nations such as Australia. This study examined the intergenerational transmission of eating behaviour through semi-structured family interviews with 27 three generation families (Anglo-Australian: n = 11, Chinese-Australian: n = 8, Italian-Australian: n = 8; N = 114). The influence of generation (grandparent, parent, child), role (grandmother, grandfather, mother, father, daughter, son), and ethnic background were considered. Thematic analysis identified that regardless of ethnic background, grandmothers and mothers dominated family food choice decisions even in families where fathers were primarily responsible for the preparation of family meals. The women in each generation influenced fruit and vegetable intake by controlling purchasing decisions (e.g., by shopping for food or editing family grocery shopping lists), insisting on consumption, monitoring and reminding, utilizing food as a prerequisite for conditional treats (e.g., eating fruit before being allowed snacks), instigating and enforcing food rules (e.g., fast food only on weekends), and restricting others' food choices. Grandparents and children shared a relationship that skipped the parent generation and influenced dietary behaviours bi-directionally. These findings have implications for the delivery of dietary health messages used in disease prevention interventions designed to successfully reach culturally and linguistically diverse populations and all members of multigenerational families.

AN - 1811899444; PQ0003515102 AB - Endophytic actinobacteria are known to benefit their hosts by improving plant growth and by reducing the severity of soil borne diseases. In this study, their role in enhancing the growth of lucerne and their interaction with its rhizobial symbiosis is examined. Comparison is made between endophytic actinobacteria isolated from wheat plants and isolates from the roots and nodules of four different legume species: lucerne (Medicago sativa L.), field pea (Pisum sativum L.), subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.) and burr medic (Medicago polymorpha L.). Two hundred and twenty five isolates of actinobacteria were recovered from the legumes. Five selected legume isolates were compared to five wheat isolates for their effects on rhizobial growth on agar and on the early nodulation and growth of lucerne plants inoculated with Sinorhizobium meliloti strain RRI 128. Co-inoculation with lucerne isolates Streptomyces spp. LuP30 and LuP47B, increased lucerne shoot dry weight at 7 weeks after inoculation by 25 to 35 %, and shoot nitrogen content by 22 to 28 % respectively, compared to plants treated with Sinorhizobium meliloti RRI 128 alone. This study shows that some endophytic actinobacteria have the potential to enhance the lucerne - rhizobia symbiosis.

Three Streptomyces strains, LuP30 and LuP47B isolated from the roots of Lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) and EN23 isolated from roots of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were added as spores to Lucerne seeds (with and without Sinorhizobium meliloti RRI 128) at three levels of applied NH sub(4)NO sub(3): 3, 25 and 50 mg/kg of soil. Plant growth increased with the addition of the actinobacteria strains alone from 19 % to 33 %. Co-inoculation of LuP30 with rhizobia strain RRI 128 produced the largest increase in shoot weight (46 %) of Lucerne plants growing in soil with 25 mg/kg NH sub(4)NO sub(3). Co-inoculation with each of the actinobacteria with the rhizobia increased the number of nodules by more than 100 % compared with RRI128 alone, 4 weeks after rhizobial inoculation. A labelled super(15)N experiment showed co-inoculation with rhizobia and LuP30 or LuP47B enhanced N sub(2)-fixation 47 % and 72 %, respectively. The actinobacteria significantly improved plant growth and N sub(2)-fixation when applied with the rhizobia strain RRI 128 to Lucerne plants growing in soil supplied with 25 mg/kg NH sub(4)NO sub(3).

They are stored at 4 degree C in additive solutions for up to 56 days. Protein oxidation is a marker of oxidative stress and cysteine residues, whose oxidations are required for physiological cell functions, are highly prone to such modification. Experimental design Five ECs from independent donations were followed. Soluble protein extracts were prepared at days 6, 27, and 41, and cysteines were alkylated, reduced, and labeled with infrared dyes. Samples were mixed two by two (day 6 as reference) and analyzed by 2D-DIGE. Detection of labeled cysteines allows quantitative comparison of oxidative status. Spots of interest were analyzed by proteomics. Results Thirty-two spots containing 43 proteins were classified as increasing, decreasing, or exhibiting a peak of expression during storage. Proteins having catalytic and antioxidant activities were particularly affected during storage, for example, peroxiredoxin-1 and DJ-1 were reversibly oxidized and catalase was irreversibly oxidized. These proteins could be used to evaluate different storage strategies to maintain proper protein function during the overall storage period. Conclusions and clinical relevance This redox-DIGE approach brings new quantitative data on oxidized proteins in stored red blood cells. As previously reported on carbonylation, the oxidative damages differently affect protein functions.

Here we use an ensemble of Atmospheric General Circulation Model (AGCM) experiments to estimate the impact of global warming on ENSO-driven precipitation anomalies over the tropical Pacific. The AGCM is forced using observed time-varying sea surface temperatures (SSTs) from 1951 to 2010, with and without an added warming pattern (the CMIP3 multi-model mean change in SSTs projected for the last 20 years of the twenty-first century under the SRES A2 scenario). In the tropical Pacific, the AGCM's El Nino rainfall response to the applied warming pattern agrees with rainfall responses in coupled models. With the warming pattern, rainfall is generally greater along the equatorial Pacific throughout the ENSO cycle. The Intertropical Convergence Zone dries over the eastern Pacific and the South Pacific Convergence Zone exhibits increased rainfall along its south-eastern flank and drying along its north-western flank. The magnitude and spatial structure of the changes differ between El Nino and La Nina events, and also depend on the magnitude of the events. Empirical Orthogonal Function analysis shows that the AGCM does not project any significant increase in the frequency of extreme El Nino events (or 'single zonal convergence zone' events) in this framework, although the magnitude of such events is increased by approximately 25 %. The modelled zonal wind anomalies show clear spatial and temporal differences between strong and weak El Nino and La Nina events.

Thermal analyses of these materials have determined that an increase in fluorine content increases the temperature of hydrogen release, with a maximum rate of desorption at 443 degree C for NaH0.5F0.5 compared to 408 degree C for pure NaH, while pressure-composition-isotherm measurements have established a Delta Hdes of 106 plus or minus 5 kJ mol-1 H2 and Delta Sdes of 143 plus or minus 5 J K-1 mol-1 H2, compared to 117 kJ mol-1 H2 and 167 J K-1 mol-1 H2, respectively, for pure NaH. While fluorine substitution actually leads to a decrease in the stability (enthalpy) compared to pure NaH, it has a larger depressing effect on the entropy that leads to reduced hydrogen equilibrium pressures. In situ powder X-ray diffraction studies have ascertained that decomposition occurs via enrichment of fluorine in the NaHxF1-x composites while, unlike pure NaH, rehydrogenation is easily achievable under mild pressures. Further, cycling studies have proven that the material is stable over at least seven hydrogen sorption cycles, with only a slight decrease in capacity while operating between 470 and 520 degree C. Theoretically, these materials may operate between 470 and 775 degree C and, as such, show great potential as thermal energy storage materials for concentrating solar thermal power applications.

The SUZI is the region around a pumping well within which significant rise in the saltwater-freshwater interface occurs. While the zone of influence of a pumping well can be clearly defined in terms of hydraulics (e.g., drawdown), the SUZI has not been recognised and characterised, despite its importance for groundwater decision-making in coastal regions. We explore the SUZI under various conditions and compare common methods of investigation using both axisymmetric (1D and 2D vertical cross-section) and 3D simulations of saltwater upconing at the field scale, based on a combination of numerical and analytical approaches. The SUZI was found to be dependent on the relative magnitudes of pumping, regional flow, distance of the well from the coast, and position of the well above the interface, as expected. The three-dimensional coastal setting simulations revealed an asymmetric shape of the lateral extent of the SUZI, which is largest in the direction parallel to the coast. This occurs because the ocean and the inland extent of the seawater wedge limit the propagation of the SUZI perpendicular to the coast. Predictions of the SUZI using the Ghyben-Herzberg approximation, including cases where sloping interfaces occur (i.e., in contrast to the artificiality of horizontal interfaces used in axisymmetric approaches), provide reasonable first approximations of the SUZI. Numerical modelling of dispersive upconing in the 3D inclined interface case is influenced by practical limits to the model domain size and grid resolution. For example, the no-flow boundary condition at 1500m from the pumping well elongates the SUZI in the direction parallel to the coast. This study extends previous concepts of well interference, which have previously been based on hydraulics only, by introducing the SUZI and characterising its extent, with consideration given to differences in commonly adopted methods of upconing quantification.

Despite this, few studies have explored the influence of a PFF on the distribution of solute plumes in permeable rock formations, and the current understanding of PFF effects on solute plumes is based almost entirely on low-permeability rock matrices. This research uses numerical modelling to examine solute plumes that pass through a PFF in permeable rock, to explore the PFF's influence on plume migration. The study adopts intentionally simplified arrangements involving steady-state solute plumes in idealised, moderate-to-high-permeability rock aquifers containing a single PFF. A range of matrix-PFF permeability ratios (4.910-6-2.510-2), typical of fractured sedimentary aquifers, is considered. The results indicate that for conditions representative of high-to-moderate-permeability sedimentary rock matrices containing a medium-sized fracture, the effect of the PFF on solute plume displacement and spreading can be considerable. For example, plumes are between 1.3 and 19 times wider than in associated porous media only scenarios, and medium-sized PFFs in moderately permeable matrices can reduce the maximum solute concentration by up to 104 times. Plume displacement and spreading is lower in aquifers of higher matrix-PFF permeability ratios, and where solute plumes are more dispersed at the point of intersection with the PFF. Asymmetry in the plume caused by the passage through the PFF is more pronounced for more dispersive plumes. The current study demonstrates that PFFs most likely govern solute plume characteristics in typical permeable matrices, given that a single PFF of aperture representing a medium-sized fracture (i.e. 5.010-4m) produces the equivalent spreading effects of 0.22-7.88m of plume movement through the permeable matrix.

Knowledge of root dry matter (DM) allocation, in relation to differing vigour conferred by rootstock cultivars, is required to understand the structural relationships between rootstock and scion. We investigated the mass of roots (four size classes up to 23 mm diameter) by coring proximal to five polyembryonic mango rootstock cultivars known to differ in their effects on the vigour and productivity of scion cultivar 'Kensington Pride', in a field trial of 13-year-old trees. Significant differences in fine (<0.64 and 0.64-1.88 mm diameter) and small (1.88-7.50 mm) root DM contents were observed between rootstock cultivars. There was a complex relationship between the amount of feeder (fine and small size classes) roots and scion size (trunk cross sectional area, TCSA), with intermediate size trees on rootstock MYP having the most feeder roots, while the smallest trees, on the rootstock Vellaikulamban had the least of these roots. Across rootstock cultivars, tree vigour (TCSA growth rate) was negatively and significantly related to the ratio of fine root DM/scion TCSA, suggesting this may be a useful indicator of the vigour that different rootstocks confer on the scion. In contrast non-ratio root DM and scion TCSA results had no significant relationships. The significant rootstock effects on orchard root growth and tree size could not be predicted from earlier differences in nursery seedling vigour, nor did seedling vigour predict root DM allocation.

Transformational adaptation is less well understood than incremental adaptation, since there are few studies of agricultural enterprises making transformative changes in response to climatic change. This paper is an in-depth study of an agricultural company's attempt to implement transformational adaptation in response to climate change. We document the Peanut Company of Australia's (PCA) response to predicted climatic change by expanding its operations into Katherine, Northern Territory, after decades of below-average rainfall in their traditional production region in south-east Queensland. Our research question was: what conditions and processes influenced the outcome of the company's response? We conducted 37 semi-structured interviews with company, government and community representatives to examine diverse perspectives on PCA's expansion into Katherine and its subsequent strategic retreat. To reveal insights into why, when and how this attempted transformational adaptation occurred we reviewed the literature and identified Park et al.'s (2012) Adaptation Action Cycles (AAC) framework and aspects from the organisational adaptation literature as useful for our analysis. Based on our findings, we revised the AAC framework to better reflect the way that incremental adaptation in situ can occur simultaneously with transformational adaptation at a new location. Our study illustrates that transformational adaptation in agriculture is difficult, complex, risky and costly and sometimes unsuccessful, revealing some of the challenges of and barriers to organisational adaptation in agriculture, especially when moving to a new location.

Introduced European rabbits, Oryctolagus cuniculus, cause severe damage to Australian native vegetation but density-damage relationships are largely unexplored. There are no recognized simple methods to estimate their impacts on native pastures, due in part to confusion with grazing impact of other herbivores. We tested simple quantitative sampling methods using multiple small quadrats to detect site differences in pasture cover, pasture species richness and dung pellet density of herbivores, from which rabbit density and relative abundance of larger herbivores were estimated. Native pasture cover and species richness declined exponentially with increasing rabbit density, within the range of 0-5 rabbits ha super(-1), while cover of unpalatable exotic pasture species increased. By contrast, kangaroo abundance was positively related to palatable native pasture cover and negatively related to cover of unpalatable weeds, and had no negative effect on native pasture cover or species richness that was discernable against a background of low to moderate rabbit densities. Perennial native forbs and perennial grasses replaced invasive Wards weed as the dominant ground cover at low rabbit densities. We conclude that, regardless of previous grazing history, contemporary kangaroo grazing pressure and weed invasion, the severely degraded state of native pastures was perpetuated by rabbits. The effect of rabbits on native pasture can be recorded in a simple manner that is suitable for identifying density-damage relationships in the presence of other herbivores and changes over time. This method is seen as particularly useful in setting target densities below which rabbits must be managed to maintain native plant communities and ecosystem function in southern Australia. It may also be useful to demonstrate rabbits' impacts in other regions, including optimum densities for plant biodiversity benefits in their native European range.

Their evolutionary and biogeographical history are poorly understood and their fossil record almost non-existent. Only one species (Centropus phasianinus) currently inhabits Australia, but there is now fossil evidence for at least three Pleistocene species. One of these (Centropus colossus) was described from south-eastern Australia in 1985. Here we describe additional elements of this species from the same site, and remains of two further extinct species from the Thylacoleo Caves of the Nullarbor Plain, south-central Australia. The skeletal morphology and large size of the three extinct species indicates that they had reduced capacity for flight and were probably primarily ground-dwelling. The extinct species include the two largest-known cuckoos, weighing upwards of 1 kg each. They demonstrate that gigantism in this lineage has been more marked in a continental context than on islands, contrary to the impression gained from extant species. The evolutionary relationships of the Australian fossil coucals are uncertain, but our phylogenetic analysis indicates a possible close relationship between one of the Nullarbor species and extant Centropus violaceus from the Bismarck Archipelago. The presence of three coucals in southern Australia markedly extends the geographical range of the genus from tropical Australia into southern temperate regions. This demonstrates the remarkable and consistent ability of coucals to colonize continents despite their very limited flying ability.

Particular concern exists for the increasing number of older drivers with poor or declining cognitive and visual function. This study investigates whether a reduction in speeding forms part of the self-restrictive driving behaviour evident when older drivers experience poor cognitive and visual function. Driving data over 12 months were collected from 182 volunteers aged 75-94years. Driving speed was estimated using Global Positioning System location, and speed limit data was based on a service-provider database. Speed events were defined as driving 1km/h or more, with 3% tolerance, above a single speed limit, averaged over 30s. Almost all participants (99%) were involved in speed events. While, 16-31% of participants experienced a meaningful decline in cognitive or visual function during the 12-months, these declines were not predictive of a change in speed events. Our results indicate speeding behaviour in this age group was highly prevalent, but less so for the oldest drivers whereby the rate of speed events was 7% lower per year older (IRR=0.93, 95%CI=0.89-0.96). Older drivers with worse function were less involved in speed events (unadjusted for distance driven) during 12 months of observation. Weekly distance driven decreased over the year by approximately 0.45km with every week of monitoring for these older drivers. When distance driven was taken into account, decreased function was not predictive of involvement in speed events, indicating the reduction in speed events may be achieved by older drivers with lower function reducing distance driven. These results are important for developing policy to address speeding behaviour of the growing population of older drivers to reduce the incidence of crashes and resulting casualties.

The fluorapatite veins are complex, with two stages: (1) massive to granular fluorapatite with inclusions of REE silicates, phosphates and (fluoro)carbonates, and (2) calcite-allanite with accessory REE-bearing phosphate and (fluoro)carbonate minerals that vein and brecciate the earlier stage. The veins are locally accompanied by narrow skarn-like (garnet-diopside-amphibole) wall rock alteration zones. SHRIMP Th-Pb analyses of allanite yielded an age of 1525 plus or minus 18 Ma, interpreted as the minimum age of mineralisation. The maximum age is provided by a ~1550 Ma SHRIMP U-Pb age for a pegmatite that predates the fluorapatite veins. Other isotopic systems yielded ages from ~1443 to ~345 Ma, implying significant post-depositional isotopic disturbance. Calculation of initial epsilon sub(Nd) and super(87)Sr/ super(86)Sr at 1525 Ma and stable isotope data are consistent with an enriched mantle or lower crust source, although post-depositional disturbance is likely. Processes leading to formation of Nolans Bore began with north-dipping subduction along the south margin of the Aileron Province at 1820-1750 Ma, producing a metasomatised, volatile-rich, lithospheric mantle wedge. About 200 million years later, near the end of the Chewings Orogeny, this reservoir and/or the lower crust sourced alkaline low-degree partial melts which passed into the mid- and upper-crust. Fluids derived from these melts, which may have included phosphatic melts, eventually deposited the Nolans Bore fluorapatite veins due to fluid-rock interaction, cooling, depressurisation and/or fluid mixing. Owing to its size and high concentration of Th (2500 ppm), in situ radiogenic heating caused significant recrystallisation and isotopic resetting. The system finally cooled below 300 degree C at ~370 Ma, possibly in response to unroofing during the Alice Springs Orogeny. Surface exposure and weathering of fluorapatite produced acidic fluids and intense, near-surface kaolinitised zones that include high-grade, supergene-enriched cheralite-rich ores.

Effective adaptation to change requires the efficient use of land, water, energy, and other vital resources, and coordinated efforts to minimize trade-offs and maximize synergies. However, as in many developing countries, the policy process in South Asia generally follows a sectoral approach that does not take into account the interconnections and interdependence among the three sectors. Although the concept of a water-energy-food nexus is gaining currency, and adaptation to climate change has become an urgent need, little effort has been made so far to understand the linkages between the nexus perspective and adaptation to climate change. Using the Hindu Kush Himalayan region as an example, this article seeks to increase understanding of the interlinkages in the water, energy, and food nexus, explains why it is important to consider this nexus in the context of adaptation responses, and argues that focusing on trade-offs and synergies using a nexus approach could facilitate greater climate change adaptation and help ensure food, water, and energy security by enhancing resource use efficiency and encouraging greater policy coherence. It concludes that a nexus-based adaption approach - which integrates a nexus perspective into climate change adaptation plans and an adaptation perspective into development plans - is crucial for effective adaptation. The article provides a conceptual framework for considering the nexus approach in relation to climate change adaptation, discusses the potential synergies, trade-offs, and offers a broader framework for making adaptation responses more effective. Policy relevance This article draws attention to the importance of the interlinkages in the water, energy, and food nexus, and the implications for sustainable development and adaptation. The potential synergies and complementarities among the sectors should be used to guide formulation of effective adaptation options. The issues highlight the need for a shift in policy approaches from a sectoral focus, which can result in competing and counterproductive actions, to an integrated approach with policy coherence among the sectors that uses knowledge of the interlinkages to maximize gain, optimize trade-offs, and avoid negative impacts.

Consequently, the distinction between hope and other expectancy-based concepts (e.g., optimism) is unclear. The present research aims to identify the unique nature of hope, suggesting hope is invoked in particular when expectations of positive outcomes are low. As long as there is a possibility of those outcomes eventuating, individuals highly invested in them are more likely to hope; but with greater probability hope tends to align with optimism. In Study 1, for supporters of bottom-tier football teams strongly invested in the hoped-for outcome of their team winning, hope's relationship with likelihood was cubic, accelerating with mere possibility; contrastingly, for optimism the relationship was linear. Study 2 replicated these findings for voters' hope in state election outcomes.

AN - 1798996124; 27173944 AB - Low concentrations of exogenous carbon monoxide (CO) have been reported to be useful for the treatment of various disorders related to inflammation and oxidative stress. However, a number of obstacles make it difficult to use CO in vivo. Among these are, at high concentrations, it is toxic and the fact that it is difficult to control its delivery in the body. Hemoglobin-encapsulated liposomes, Hemoglobin-vesicles (HbV), have the potential for use as a new type of nano-sized CO donor, referred to as CO-bound HbV (CO-HbV). In this study, we investigated the potential of CO-HbV as a CO donor in terms of toxicity and therapeutic efficacy using an experimental colitis model. Toxicological assessments of CO-HbV showed no severe adverse effects including death, and clinical laboratory tests and histopathological changes remained normal for 28days after the administration of doses up to 1400mgHb/kg. We then evaluated the therapeutic efficacies of CO-HbV on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis model mice. A single administration of CO-HbV at 3days from beginning of the DSS treatment dramatically improved colitis symptoms, colonic histopathological changes and the duration of survival compared to both saline and HbV administration. In addition, the therapeutic effects of CO-HbV on colitis can be attributed to a decreased level of neutrophil infiltration, the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and oxidative injuries. Interestingly, it appears that an increase in anti-inflammatory cytokine production contributes, in part, to therapeutic effects of CO-HbV in the treatment of colitis. These safety and efficacy profiles of CO-HbV suggest that it has the potential for use as a drug for treating, not only colitis but also a variety of other disorders associated with inflammation and oxidative stress.

AN - 1807533712; 27383450 AB - To achieve uniform carbon coating on TiO2 nanomaterials, high temperature (>500 °C) annealing treatment is a necessity. However, the annealing treatment inevitably leads to the strong phase transformation from TiO2(B) with high lithium ion storage (LIS) capacity to anatase with low LIS one as well as the damage of nanostructures. Herein, we demonstrate a new approach to create TiO2(B)/carbon core/shell nanotubes (C@TBNTs) using a long-chain silane polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) to bind the TBNTs by forming Si-O-Ti bonds. The key feature of this work is that the introduction of PMHS onto TBNTs can afford TBNTs with very high thermal stability at higher than 700 °C and inhibit the phase transformation from TiO2(B) to anatase. Such a high thermal property of PMHS-TBNTs makes them easily coated with highly graphitic carbon shell via CVD process at 700 °C. The as-prepared C@TBNTs deliver outstanding rate capability and electrochemical stability, i.e., reversible capacity above 250 mAh g(-1) at 10 C and a high specific capacity of 479.2 mAh g(-1) after 1000 cycles at 1 C. As far as we know, the LIS performance of our sample is the highest among the previously reported TiO2(B) anode materials.

One of the strategies adopted by utilities is re-chloramination, but its effectiveness may vary depending on the stage (immediately after the onset or later) at which re-chloramination is practiced. Therefore, a systematic study of the effectiveness of re-chloramination was conducted by collecting bulk water samples from full-scale and laboratory-scale water distribution systems. The findings of this study revealed that in addition to initial dose of chloramine residuals, effectiveness of re-chloramination largely depend on the stage at which re-chloramination is practiced. Comparatively slow chloramine decay rates were observed when re-chloramination was carried out just after the onset of nitrification or after chloramine residuals dropped close to zero. However, the recurrence of nitrification is inevitable if only single dosing is practiced.

Hakawai melvillei gen. et sp. nov. represents the first pre-Quaternary record of the clade in New Zealand and offers the earliest evidence of Australasian breeding for any member of the Scolopaci. Hakawai melvillei was a representative of the clade that comprises the South American seedsnipes (Thinocoridae) and the Australian Plains-wanderer (Pedionomidae), and presumed derived features of its postcranial skeleton indicate a sister taxon relationship to Australian pedionomids. Our findings reinforce that terrestrial adaptations in seedsnipes and the Plains-wanderer are convergent as previously proposed, and support an ancestral wading ecology for the clade. Although vicariance events may have contributed to the split between pedionomids and H. melvillei, the proposed sister taxon relationship between these taxa indicates that the split of this lineage from thinocorids must have occurred independently from Australia and Zealandia's separation from the rest of Gondwana. http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:FD3E50A9-EE95-4660-880 A -A60B0DE2CEF4 JF - Journal of Systematic Palaeontology AU - De Pietri, Vanesa L AU - Scofield, RPaul AU - Tennyson, Alan JD AU - Hand, Suzanne J AU - Worthy, Trevor H AD - School of Biological Sciences, Flinders University of South Australia, GPO 2100, Adelaide 5001, South Australia, Australia Y1 - 2016/07/02/ PY - 2016 DA - 2016 Jul 02 SP - 603 EP - 616 PB - Taylor & Francis Group Ltd., 2 Park Square Oxford OX14 4RN United Kingdom VL - 14 IS - 7 SN - 1477-2019, 1477-2019 KW - Water Resources Abstracts; ASFA 2: Ocean Technology Policy & Non-Living Resources KW - PSE, Australia KW - Adaptations KW - Palaeo studies KW - Systematics KW - Miocene KW - Ecology KW - Endemic species KW - PSE, New Zealand KW - Adaptation KW - Taxonomy KW - New genera KW - Palaeontology KW - Aquatic birds KW - New species KW - Q2 09273:Palaeontology KW - SW 0810:General UR - http://libproxy.lib.unc.edu/login?url=http://search.proquest.com/docview/1808646365?accountid=14244 L2 - http://vb3lk7eb4t.search.serialssolutions.com/?ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_enc=info:ofi/enc:UTF-8&rfr_id=info:sid/ProQ%3Awaterresources&rft_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:journal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=Journal+of+Systematic+Palaeontology&rft.atitle=Wading+a+lost+southern+connection%3A+Miocene+fossils+from+New+Zealand+reveal+a+new+lineage+of+shorebirds+%28Charadriiformes%29+linking+Gondwanan+avifaunas&rft.au=De+Pietri%2C+Vanesa+L%3BScofield%2C+RPaul%3BTennyson%2C+Alan+JD%3BHand%2C+Suzanne+J%3BWorthy%2C+Trevor+H&rft.aulast=De+Pietri&rft.aufirst=Vanesa&rft.date=2016-07-02&rft.volume=14&rft.issue=7&rft.spage=603&rft.isbn=&rft.btitle=&rft.title=Journal+of+Systematic+Palaeontology&rft.issn=14772019&rft_id=info:doi/10.1080%2F14772019.2015.1087064 LA - English DB - ProQuest Environmental Science Collection N1 - Date revised - 2016-07-01 N1 - Last updated - 2016-12-22 N1 - SubjectsTermNotLitGenreText - Endemic species; Adaptations; Palaeo studies; Taxonomy; Palaeontology; New genera; Miocene; Aquatic birds; New species; Ecology; Adaptation; Systematics; PSE, Australia; PSE, New Zealand DO - http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/14772019.2015.1087064 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Repeated high-dose (5 × 10(8) TCID50) toxicity study of a third generation smallpox vaccine (IMVAMUNE) in New Zealand white rabbits. AN - 1803793522; 26836234 AB - Concern over the release of variola virus as an agent of bioterrorism remains high and a rapid vaccination regimen is desirable for use in the event of a confirmed release of virus. A single, high-dose (5×10(8) TCID50) of Bavarian Nordic's IMVAMUNE was tested in a Phase-II clinical trial, in humans, as a substitute for the standard (1×10(8) TCID50), using a 2-dose, 28-days apart regimen. Prior to this clinical trial taking place a Good Laboratory Practice, repeated high-dose, toxicology study was performed using IMVAMUNE, in New Zealand white rabbits and the results are reported here. Male and female rabbits were dosed twice, subcutaneously, with 5×10(8) TCID50 of IMVAMUNE (test) or saline (control), 7-days apart. The clinical condition, body-weight, food consumption, haematology, blood chemistry, immunogenicity, organ-weight, and macroscopic and microscopic pathology were investigated. Haematological investigations indicated changes within the white blood cell profile that were attributed to treatment with IMVAMUNE; these comprised slight increases in neutrophil and monocyte numbers, on study days 1-3 and a marginal increase in lymphocyte numbers on day 10. Macroscopic pathology revealed reddening at the sites of administration and thickened skin in IMVAMUNE, treated animals. After the second dose of IMVAMUNE 9/10 rabbits seroconverted, as detected by antibody ELISA on day 10, by day 21, 10/10 rabbits seroconverted. Treatment-related changes were not detected in other parameters. In conclusion, the subcutaneous injection of 2 high-doses of IMVAMUNE, to rabbits, was well tolerated producing only minor changes at the site of administration. Vaccinia-specific antibodies were raised in IMVAMUNE-vaccinated rabbits only.

There is ongoing socio-legal analysis of the differential value and uses of quantitative data and anecdote in detailing women's experiences and advocating for change. In this paper, we engage with these issues through a focus on how data were constructed in a key government report, Every Picture Tells a Story, which was used to officially define the problem and outline recommendations in the controversial 2006-08 reform of the Australian Child Support Scheme. Our discussion focuses on two questions: what legitimacy is accorded to different kinds of evidence in family law reform processes?; and, how is this legitimacy gendered? We applied feminist critical discourse analysis to the type, source and claims of the data included in the child support chapter of the report. Our findings indicate that both quantitative data and anecdote were used to privilege fathers' financial interests and autonomy; in contrast, women's voices and interests were marginalised. Thus, we argue the legitimacy of data is ascribed through its relationship to the gendered definition of the 'problems' of child support, rather than the type of data per se.

Characters in a large morphological dataset for mammals were found to be evolving according to seven separate clocks, each distinct from the molecular clock. Total-evidence tip-dating using these multiple clocks inflated divergence time estimates, but potentially improved topological inference. In particular, single-clock analyses placed several meridiungulates and condylarths in a heterodox position as stem placentals, but multi-clock analyses retrieved a more plausible and orthodox position within crown placentals. Several shortcomings (including uneven character sampling) currently impact upon the accuracy of total-evidence dating, but this study suggests that when sufficiently large and appropriately constructed phenotypic datasets become more commonplace, multi-clock approaches are feasible and can affect both divergence dates and phylogenetic relationships.

Methods: Six cadaveric elbows were tested using a digital tracking system to measure the strain in the anterior band and posterior band of the anterior bundle of the UCL throughout a flexion/extension arc. The specimens were then placed in an Instron materials testing machine and loaded to failure to determine yield load and ultimate load of the UCL. Results: The posterior band showed a linear increase in strain with increasing degrees of elbow flexion while the anterior band showed minimal change in strain throughout. The bands showed similar strain at yield load and ultimate load, demonstrating similar intrinsic properties. Conclusion: The anterior band of the anterior bundle of the UCL shows an isometric strain pattern through elbow range of motion, while the posterior band shows an increasing strain pattern in higher degrees of elbow flexion. Both bands show similar strain in a load to failure model, indicating insertion point, not intrinsic differences, of the bands determine the function of the anterior bundle of the UCL. This demonstrates a biomechanical rationale for UCL reconstructions using single point anatomical insertion points.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of 4 iodine-based teat dips on milk iodide concentrations varying in iodine level (0.25% vs. 0.5%, w/w), normal low viscosity dip versus barrier dip, and application method (dip vs. spray) to ensure safe iodine levels in dairy milk when these products are used. The iodine exposure study was performed during a 2-wk period. The trial farm was purged of all iodine-based disinfection products for 21 d during a prestudy "washout period," which resulted in baseline milk iodide range of 145 to 182 ppb. During the experiment, iodine-based teat dips were used as post-milking teat disinfectants and compared to a non-iodine control disinfectant. Milk iodide residue levels for each treatment was evaluated from composited group samples. Introduction of different iodine-based teat disinfectants increased iodide residue content in milk relative to the control by between 8 and 29 mu g/L when averaged across the full trial period. However, residues levels for any treatment remained well below the consumable limit of 500 mu g/L. The 0.5% iodine disinfectant increased milk iodide levels by 20 mu g/L more compared to the 0.25% iodine. Compared to dip-cup application, spray application significantly increased milk iodide residue by 21 mu g/L and utilized approximately 23% more teat dip. This carefully controlled study demonstrated an increase in milk iodide concentrations from iodine disinfectants, but increases were small and within acceptable limits.

Small-scale simulated fire structural tests performed on two aluminium alloys (AA5083 and AA6061) show for the first time a large amount of scatter in the tensile deformation rate and rupture stress. Multiple simulated fire tests conducted under identical heat flux exposure and tensile load conditions reveal scatter in the softening behaviour of the two aluminium alloys; there is large variability in the deformation rate, rupture stress and time-to-rupture, particularly at low stresses when creep dominates the softening process. Finite element analysis (incorporating elastic, plastic and creep softening effects) and elevated temperature material testing reveals that the scatter is caused mainly by variability in creep properties such as creep activation energy. A probability density function is used to quantify the scatter in the creep activation energy, and the finite element model using Monte Carlo simulations computes the scatter in the fire structural resistance of aluminium, which is not possible with existing deterministic models.

For each biomass type, we estimated annual potential availability at the finest scale possible with readily accessible data, and then aggregated to make estimates for each of 60 Statistical Divisions (administrative areas) across Australia. The potentially available lignocellulosic biomass is estimated at approximately 80 Mt per year, with the major contributors of crop stubble (27.7 Mt per year), grasses (19.7 Mt per year) and forest plantations (10.9 Mt per year). Over the next 20-40 years, total potentially available biomass could increase to 100-115 Mt per year, with new plantings of short-rotation trees being the major source of the increase (14.7 Mt per year by 2030 and 29.3 Mt per year by 2050). We exclude oilseeds, algae and 'regrowth', that is woody vegetation naturally regenerating on previously cleared land, which may be important in several regions of Australia (Australian Forestry 77, 2014, 1; Global Change Biology Bioenergy 7, 2015, 497). We briefly discuss some of the challenges to providing a reliable and sustainable supply of the large amounts of biomass required to build a bioenergy industry of significant scale. More detailed regional analyses, including of the costs of delivered biomass, logistics and economics of harvest, transport and storage, competing markets for biomass and a full assessment of the sustainability of production are needed to underpin investment in specific conversion facilities (e.g. Opportunities for forest bioenergy: An assessment of the environmental and economic opportunities and constraints associated with bioenergy production from biomass resources in two prospective regions of Australia, 2011a).

Some of these challenges stem from physical and chemical interactions between the carbonate rock matrix and pore fluids, which can affect elastic properties of the rock. Hence, the study of the pore fluid effects on the elastic properties of carbonates is important for understanding a change of the field performance properties of carbonate reservoir caused by fluid movements during hydrocarbon extraction in producing fields. In this laboratory study, we investigate the applicability of Gassmann's model for predictions of the elastic moduli of water- and hydrocarbon-saturated Savonnieres limestone and the influence of partial water saturation on elastic and anelastic properties of the rock. We present the results of two sets of laboratory experiments on the Savonnieres oolitic limestone where we: (i) evaluate the effect of full water and n-decane saturation on elastic moduli and attenuation at seismic (0.1 Hz-120 Hz) and ultrasonic (0.5 MHz) frequencies; and (ii) quantify the dependence of elastic moduli and extensional attenuation on water saturation at two seismic frequencies of 1 Hz and 10 Hz. We demonstrate that the change in the bulk modulus of limestone fully saturated either with n-decane or water is in agreement with Gassmann's fluid substitution theory, whereas the shear modulus is noticeably reduced. The measurements with partial saturation show that the bulk modulus decreases with increasing water saturation to a lesser extent than the Young's and shear moduli. Our results show that extensional attenuation in the samples with closed boundaries is insignificant under dry and fully saturated conditions but is influenced greatly by the liquid content when saturation is between 0 and 20% or 95% and 100%.

In this work, we carry out quantitative analysis of time-lapse seismic by using rock physics and seismic modelling tools. We investigate the suitability of Gassmann's equation for a CO sub(2) sequestration project with 1600 tons of CO sub(2) injected into high-porosity, brine-saturated sandstone. We analyze the observed time delays and amplitude changes in a time-lapse vertical seismic profile dataset. Both reflected and transmitted waves are analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. To interpret the changes obtained from the vertical seismic profile, we perform a 2.5D elastic, finite-difference modelling study. The results show a P-wave velocity reduction of 750 m/s in the proximity of the injection well evident by the first arrivals (travel-time delays and amplitude change) and reflected wave amplitude changes. These results do not match with our rock physics model using Gassmann's equation predictions even when taking uncertainty in CO sub(2) saturation and grain properties into account. We find that time-lapse vertical seismic profile data integrated with other information (e.g., core and well log) can be used to constrain the velocity-saturation relation and verify the applicability of theoretical models such as Gassmann's equation with considerable certainty. The study shows that possible nonelastic factors are in play after CO sub(2) injection (e.g., CO sub(2)-brine-rock interaction and pressure effect) as Gassmann's equation underestimated the velocity reduction in comparison with field data for all three sets of time-lapse vertical seismic profile attributes. Our work shows the importance of data integration to validate the applicability of theoretical models such as Gassmann's equation for quantitative analysis of time-lapse seismic data.

We develop a simple model relating effective seismic properties of a rock saturated with a liquid, solid, or viscoelastic pore fill, which is assumed to be much softer than the constituent minerals. A key feature of the model is division of porosity into stiff matrix pores and compliant crack-like pores because the presence of a solid material in thin voids stiffens the rock to a much greater extent than its presence in stiff pores. We approximate a typical compliant pore as a plane circular interlayer surrounded by empty pores. The effect of saturation of the stiff pores is then taken into account using generalized Gassmann's equations. The proposed model provides a good fit to measurements of the shear stiffness and loss factor of the Uvalde heavy-oil rock at different temperatures and frequencies. When the pore fill is solid, the predictions of the scheme are close to the predictions of the solid squirt model recently proposed by Saxena and Mavko. At the same time, the present scheme also gives a continuous transition to the classic Gassmann's equations for a liquid pore fill at low frequencies and the squirt theory at high frequencies.

AN - 1795866505; 27131753 AB - Public health concerns continue to exist over the safety of zinc oxide nanoparticles that are commonly used in sunscreen formulations. In this work, we assessed the effects of two conditions which may be encountered in everyday sunscreen use, occlusion and a compromised skin barrier, on the penetration and local toxicity of two topically applied zinc oxide nanoparticle products. Caprylic/capric triglyceride (CCT) suspensions of commercially used zinc oxide nanoparticles, either uncoated or with a silane coating, were applied to intact and barrier impaired skin of volunteers, without and with occlusion for a period of six hours. The exposure time was chosen to simulate normal in-use conditions. Multiphoton tomography with fluorescence lifetime imaging was used to noninvasively assess zinc oxide penetration and cellular metabolic changes that could be indicative of toxicity. We found that zinc oxide nanoparticles did not penetrate into the viable epidermis of intact or barrier impaired skin of volunteers, without or with occlusion. We also observed no apparent toxicity in the viable epidermis below the application sites. These findings were validated by ex vivo human skin studies in which zinc penetration was assessed by multiphoton tomography with fluorescence lifetime imaging as well as Zinpyr-1 staining and toxicity was assessed by MTS assays in zinc oxide treated skin cryosections. In conclusion, applications of zinc oxide nanoparticles under occlusive in-use conditions to volunteers are not associated with any measurable zinc oxide penetration into, or local toxicity in the viable epidermis below the application site.

AN - 1795860523; 27184767 AB - We recently reported results from a high-throughput screening effort that identified 235 inhibitors of the Escherichia coli GroEL/ES chaperonin system [Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett.2014, 24, 786]. As the GroEL/ES chaperonin system is essential for growth under all conditions, we reasoned that targeting GroEL/ES with small molecule inhibitors could be a viable antibacterial strategy. Extending from our initial screen, we report here the antibacterial activities of 22 GroEL/ES inhibitors against a panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including E. coli, Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter cloacae. GroEL/ES inhibitors were more effective at blocking the proliferation of Gram-positive bacteria, in particular S. aureus, where lead compounds exhibited antibiotic effects from the low-μM to mid-nM range. While several compounds inhibited the human HSP60/10 refolding cycle, some were able to selectively target the bacterial GroEL/ES system. Despite inhibiting HSP60/10, many compounds exhibited low to no cytotoxicity against human liver and kidney cell lines. Two lead candidates emerged from the panel, compounds 8 and 18, that exhibit >50-fold selectivity for inhibiting S. aureus growth compared to liver or kidney cell cytotoxicity. Compounds 8 and 18 inhibited drug-sensitive and methicillin-resistant S. aureus strains with potencies comparable to vancomycin, daptomycin, and streptomycin, and are promising candidates to explore for validating the GroEL/ES chaperonin system as a viable antibiotic target.

In this framework, the multi-sport Supporting Success program aims to inform good-practice coaching strategies for community coaches to engage with adolescents with ASD in order to foster socialisation. The project employs a community development approach and a Participatory Action Research (PAR) design. Methods include ongoing consultation, focus groups, briefing/debriefing sessions and questionnaire surveys. Preliminary findings indicate that coaching strategies and program design are fundamental variables in the use of sport/PA to help adolescents with ASD to develop social skills and share positive experiences with peers, coaches, educators and local community members.

This is highly relevant in the private land conservation (PLC) sector given the low participation rates of landholders. Using a case study of PLC schemes targeted at Australian landholders, we present the first systematic analysis of communication strategies used by organisations and government departments delivering those schemes to engage the public. We develop a novel approach for analysing the framing of conservation messages that codes the stated benefits of schemes according to value orientation. We categorised the benefits as flowing to either the landholder, to society, or to the environment, corresponding to the egoistic, altruistic and biospheric value orientations that have been shown to influence human behaviour. We find that messages are biased towards environmental benefits. Surprisingly, this is the case even for market-based schemes that have the explicit objective of appealing to production-focussed landholders and those who are not already involved in conservation. The risk is that PLC schemes framed in this way will fail to engage more egoistically oriented landholders and are only likely to appeal to those likely to already be conservation-minded. By understanding the frame in which PLC benefits are communicated, we can begin to understand the types of people who may be engaged by these messages, and who may not be. Results suggest that the framing of the communications for many schemes could be broadened to appeal to a more diverse group (and thus ultimately to a larger group) of landholders.

AN - 1786519095; 27046140 AB - Toxic chemical pollutants such as heavy metals (HMs) are commonly present in urban stormwater. These pollutants can pose a significant risk to human health and hence a significant barrier for urban stormwater reuse. The primary aim of this study was to develop an approach for quantitatively assessing the risk to human health due to the presence of HMs in stormwater. This approach will lead to informed decision making in relation to risk management of urban stormwater reuse, enabling efficient implementation of appropriate treatment strategies. In this study, risks to human health from heavy metals were assessed as hazard index (HI) and quantified as a function of traffic and land use related parameters. Traffic and land use are the primary factors influencing heavy metal loads in the urban environment. The risks posed by heavy metals associated with total solids and fine solids (<150μm) were considered to represent the maximum and minimum risk levels, respectively. The study outcomes confirmed that Cr, Mn and Pb pose the highest risks, although these elements are generally present in low concentrations. The study also found that even though the presence of a single heavy metal does not pose a significant risk, the presence of multiple heavy metals could be detrimental to human health. These findings suggest that stormwater guidelines should consider the combined risk from multiple heavy metals rather than the threshold concentration of an individual species. Furthermore, it was found that risk to human health from heavy metals in stormwater is significantly influenced by traffic volume and the risk associated with stormwater from industrial areas is generally higher than that from commercial and residential areas.

One solution is the use of pure lateral pelvic clusters to track the pelvis segment. However, the validity of this method has not been compared against pelvic marker systems recommended by the International Society of Biomechanics (ISB) during high impact tasks, such as running. The purpose of this study was to validate the lateral tracking pelvic clusters against the ISB pelvis during running. Six participants performed overground running at a self-selected running speed with shoes. Three dimensional motion capture and synchronised in-ground force plates were used to determine lower limb joint angles and gait events respectively. Two biomechanical models were used to derive pelvic segment and hip joint angles. The ISB pelvis used the anterior and posterior iliac spines as anatomical and tracking markers, whilst the other model used lateral pelvic clusters as tracking markers. The between participant averaged coefficient of multiple correlation suggested good to excellent agreement between the angle waveforms generated from the two marker protocols. In addition, both marker protocols had similar sensitivity in detecting three dimensional pelvic and hip joint angles during the stance phase. This study suggests that in the event posterior load carriage is involved in running gait, pelvic and hip kinematics can be measured by the use of lateral pelvic clusters.

A retrospective review of 196 CCTA cases (129 males, 67 females, mean age 58 plus or minus 10.5 years) was conducted. The bifurcation angle between the left anterior descending (LAD) and left circumflex (LCx) was measured on two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) reconstructed images and the type of plaque and degree of lumen stenosis was assessed to determine the disease severity. An association between bifurcation angle and patient risk factors [gender, body mass index (BMI), hypertension, cholesterol, diabetes, smoking and family history] of CAD was also assessed to demonstrate the relationship between these variables. The mean bifurcation angle between the LAD and LCx was 79.40 degree plus or minus 22.97 degree , ranging from 35.5 degree to 178 degree . Gender and BMI were found to have significant associations with bifurcation angle. Males were at 2.07-fold greater risk of having a >80 degree bifurcation angle and developing CAD than females (P=0.003), and patients with high BMI (>25 kg/m super(2)) were 2.54-fold more likely to have a >80 degree bifurcation angle than patients with a normal BMI (P=0.001) and thus were at greater risk of developing CAD. There is a direct relationship between the left main coronary artery bifurcation angle and patient gender and BMI. Measurement of the bifurcation angle should be incorporated into clinical practice to identify patients at high risk of developing CAD.

In this study, we measured seed release, germination and seedling recruitment following plant death after fire and simulated drought among six serotinous species in southwestern Australia. Burning or heating the cones/fruits resulted in a marked increase in follicle opening (pyriscence) compared with plant death from drought (necriscence) among Banksia but not Hakea. We recorded higher rates of germination, lower seedling mortality and better seedling growth in the post-fire environments than in unburnt sites not burnt for at least 10 years for five species (seeds of the sixth species were non-viable). Seedling mortality among the five species of 100 % occurred in the unburnt plots over the first summer, while 28-79 % of seedlings survived in the burnt plots. Soil moisture measurements indicated much lower water availability in the unburnt sites even in spring. Our study provides strong empirical evidence that serotiny/pyriscence enhances species fitness by releasing seeds into an optimal post-fire habitat in contrast to that observed from plant/crown death due to drought. In the context of the long history of fire in southwestern Australia, the greatly enhanced fitness in response to fire rather than severe drought supports the proposition that serotiny is a specific adaptation to fire.

In the Australian Alps, the threatened alpine bog skink Pseudemoia cryodroma co-occurs with two morphologically and ecologically similar congeners, P. entrecasteauxii and P. pagenstecheri, and all three species are suspected to hybridize. We predicted that the frequency of hybridization should be negatively correlated with genetic divergence, morphological differentiation and microhabitat separation. We tested this hypothesis using a mitochondrial locus, 13 microsatellite loci, morphological and microhabitat data and compared results across three geographically isolated sites. Despite strong genetic structure between species, we detected hybridization between all species pairs, including evidence of backcrossed individuals at the two sites where all three species are syntopic. Hybridization frequencies were not consistently associated with genetic, morphological or ecological differentiation. Furthermore, P. entrecasteauxii and P. pagenstecheri only hybridized at the two sites where they are syntopic with P. cryodroma, but not at the largest site where P. cryodroma was not recorded, suggesting that P. cryodroma may serve as a bridging species. This study reveals the complex dynamics within a three species hybrid zone and provides a baseline for assessing the impact of climate change and anthropogenic habitat modification on future hybridization frequencies.

A synthetic mixture of chemical compounds referred to as "the Mbita blend" (MB) was shown to attract as many host-seeking malaria mosquitoes as attracted to human subjects. We hypothesized that this effect could be enhanced by adding one or more attractive compounds to the blend. We tested changes in the capability of MB (ammonia + L-lactic acid + tetradecanoic acid +3-methyl-1-butanol + carbon dioxide) to attract host-seeking malaria mosquitoes by addition of selected dilutions of butyl-2-methylbutanoate (1:10,000), 2-pentadecanone (1:100), 1-dodecanol (1:10,000), and butan-1-amine (1:10,000,000). The experiments were conducted in semi-field enclosures and in a village in western Kenya. In semi-field enclosures, the attraction of Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto females to MB-baited traps was not enhanced by adding butyl-2-methylbutanoate. There was, however, an increase in the proportion of An. gambiae caught in traps containing MB augmented with the selected dilutions of butan-1-amine, 2-pentadecanone, and 1-dodecanol. When tested in the village, addition of butan-1-amine to MB enhanced catches of female An. gambiae sensu lato, An. funestus, and Culex mosquitoes. 1-Dodecanol increased attraction of An. gambiae s.l. to the MB, while addition of 2-pentadecanone improved trap catches of An. funestus and Culex mosquitoes. This study demonstrates the possibility of enhancing synthetic odor blends for trapping the malarial mosquitoes An. gambiae s.l. and An. funestus, as well as some culicine species. The findings provide promising results for the optimization and utilization of synthetic attractants for sampling and controlling major disease vectors.

Within this vast collection, peroxide and peroxide-derived secondary metabolites have attracted significant interest in the fields of natural product isolation and chemical synthesis for their structural distinction and promising in vitroantimicrobial and anticancer properties. In this review, peroxide and peroxide-derived polyketide metabolites isolated from marine sponges in the past 35 years are summarised. Efforts toward their synthesis are detailed with a focus on methods that utilise or attempt to elucidate the complex biosynthetic interrelationships of these compounds beyond enzymatic polyketide synthesis. Recent isolations, advances in synthetic methodology and theories of biogenesis are highlighted and critically evaluated.

The vertical arrangement of forest canopies is a key descriptor of canopy structure, a driver of ecosystem function and indicative of forest successional stage. Yet techniques to attribute for canopy vertical structure across large and potentially heterogeneously forested areas remain elusive. 2. This study introduces a new technique to estimate the Number of Strata (NoS) that comprise a canopy profile, using discrete-return Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) data. Vertically resolved gap probability (P sub(gap)) aggregated over a plot is generalized with a nonparametric cubic spline regression (P sub(s)). Subsequently a count of the positive zero-crossings of second derivative of 1 - P sub(s) is used to estimate NoS. 3. Comparison with inventory derived estimates at 24 plots across three diverse study areas shows a good agreement between the two techniques (RMSE = 0.41 strata). Furthermore, this is achieved without altering model parameters, indicating the transferability of the technique across diverse forest types. NoS values ranged from 0 to 4 at a further 239 plots, emphasizing the need for a method to quantify canopy vertical structure across forested landscapes. Comparison of NoS with other commonly derived ALS descriptors of canopy structure (canopy height, canopy cover and return height coefficient of determination) returned only a moderate correlation (r super(2) < 0.4). 4. It is proposed the presented method provides a primary descriptor of canopy structure to complement canopy height and cover, as well as a candidate Ecological Biodiversity Variable for characterizing habitat structure.

Remarkably, the gold-rich arsenopyrites remained structurally and chemically robust during high strain deformation. It was only during a superimposed lower strain deformation event, at a high angle to the preferred orientation of the arsenopyrites, that small amounts of crystal plasticity affected the arsenopyrites. During the low strain event, a dissolution-reprecipitation reaction resulted in loss of gold from the crystal lattice, facilitated by localised domains of recrystallisation, most likely due to fluid percolation along sub- and new grain boundaries. We suggest that the abundance and rheologically robust nature of gold-rich arsenopyrite in giant gold deposits, affected by greenschist-amphibolite metamorphism, is actually critical in the preservation of those deposits.

Banana peel, which is a by-product of banana processing, contains a range of bioactive compounds including carotenoids. There is no published research on the extraction of food-grade carotenoids from banana peels. This study evaluated the change in the banana peel carotenoid content over its ripening stages and determined the best possible solvent to extract carotenoid for food applications. The solvents permitted under Food Standard Australia New Zealand were used in the study. Ripeness stage 5 contained the highest content of total carotene at 1.86 mu g g super(-1) of banana peel. From one gram of banana peel, 0.57 mu g of xanthophyll and 0.84 mu g of beta-carotene were extracted from ripening stage 5 with a solvent combination of hexane-diethyl ether-acetone and hexane-diethyl ether, respectively. Carotenoids from banana peel, which are extracted by food-grade solvents, are suitable for food application such as a natural colorant. The market demand for additive free products have increased over the last few years. Due to its health benefit, carotenoids can be used as nutrition supplements as well.

Allometric models provide cost-effective methods for biomass prediction. But do such models vary with ecoregion or plant functional type? We compiled 15 054 measurements of individual tree or shrub biomass from across Australia to examine the generality of allometric models for above-ground biomass prediction. This provided a robust case study because Australia includes ecoregions ranging from arid shrublands to tropical rainforests, and has a rich history of biomass research, particularly in planted forests. Regardless of ecoregion, for five broad categories of plant functional type (shrubs; multistemmed trees; trees of the genus Eucalyptus and closely related genera; other trees of high wood density; and other trees of low wood density), relationships between biomass and stem diameter were generic. Simple power-law models explained 84-95% of the variation in biomass, with little improvement in model performance when other plant variables (height, bole wood density), or site characteristics (climate, age, management) were included. Predictions of stand-based biomass from allometric models of varying levels of generalization (species-specific, plant functional type) were validated using whole-plot harvest data from 17 contrasting stands (range: 9-356 Mg ha super(-1)). Losses in efficiency of prediction were <1% if generalized models were used in place of species-specific models. Furthermore, application of generalized multispecies models did not introduce significant bias in biomass prediction in 92% of the 53 species tested. Further, overall efficiency of stand-level biomass prediction was 99%, with a mean absolute prediction error of only 13%. Hence, for cost-effective prediction of biomass across a wide range of stands, we recommend use of generic allometric models based on plant functional types. Development of new species-specific models is only warranted when gains in accuracy of stand-based predictions are relatively high (e.g. high-value monocultures).

Defining these objectives in operational terms, including dimensions such as sustainability, productivity, and equity, is by no means easy, especially if they must capture the diversity of community and stakeholder values. This is especially true in the coastal zone where land activities affect regional marine ecosystems. In this study, the aim was firstly to identify and hierarchically organise the goals and objectives for coastal systems, as defined by local stakeholders. Two case study areas are used within the Great Barrier Reef region being Mackay and Bowen-Burdekin. Secondly, the aim was to identify similarities between the case study results and thus develop a generic set of goals to be used as a starting point in other coastal communities. Results show that overarching high-level goals have nested sub-goals that contain a set of more detailed regional objectives. The similarities in high-level environmental, governance, and socio-economic goals suggest that regionally specific objectives can be developed based on a generic set of goals. The prominence of governance objectives reflects local stakeholder perceptions that current coastal zone management is not achieving the outcomes they feel important and that there is a need for increased community engagement and co-management. More importantly, it raises the question of how to make issues relevant for the local community and entice participation in the local management of public resources to achieve sustainable environmental, social, and economic management outcomes.

Soil C modelling is the only reasonable approach available for predicting soil C dynamics under future conditions of environmental changes, and soil C models are usually constrained by the average of observations. However, model constraining is sensitive to the observed data, and the consequence of using observed averages on C predictions has rarely been studied. Using long-term soil organic C datasets from an agricultural field experiment, we constrained a process-based model using the average of observations or by taking into account the variation in observations to predict soil C dynamics. We found that uncertainties in soil C predictions were masked if ignoring the uncertainties in observations (i.e., using the average of observations to constrain model), if uncertainties in model parameterisation were not explicitly quantified. However, if uncertainties in model parameterisation had been considered, further considering uncertainties in observations had negligible effect on uncertainties in SOC predictions. The results suggest that uncertainties induced by model parameterisation are larger than that induced by observations. Precise observations representing the real spatial pattern of SOC at the studied domain, and model structure improvement and constrained space of parameters will benefit reducing uncertainties in soil C predictions. The results also highlight some areas on which future C model development and software implementations should focus to reliably infer soil C dynamics.

PSTVd was detected infecting volunteer crop plants of tomato, pepper and chilli; introduced weed species Solanum nigrum (blackberry nightshade), Datura leichhardtii (thornapple) and Nicandra physalodes (apple-of-Peru) (Solanaceae), and Conyza bonariensis (flaxleaf fleabane) (Asteraceae); and Australian native species Atriplex semilunaris (annual saltbush), Rhagodia eremaea (thorny saltbush) (Chenopodiaceae), and Streptoglossa sp. (Asteraceae). PSTVd was also detected infecting Physalis angulata (wild gooseberry) in the Ord River Irrigation Area (ORIA), Kimberley region in north-west WA. Comparison of sequences from the three complete and 18 partial RNA nucleotide sequences obtained from 20 GHD and one ORIA isolates with those of published sequences showed that their highest nucleotide sequence identities were to isolate AY962324 belonging to the Chittering strain from south-west WA. On phylogenetic analysis, the three completely sequenced GHD PSTVd isolates grouped within a cluster of isolates from tomato and P. peruviana. These results show that a naturally occurring PSTVd inoculum reservoir is present in the GHD.

These findings have implications concerning PSTVd spread in intensive solanaceous crop field production systems in other subtropical regions of the world.

To combat losses attributed to online fraud, Australia has seen the emergence of a victim-oriented approach, which uses financial intelligence to identify potential victims and deliberately intervenes through the sending of a letter. This approach predominantly targets victims of advance fee fraud and romance fraud who are sending money to West African countries. The current article presents three Australian case studies: Project Sunbird (West Australian Police and West Australian Department of Commerce); Operation Disrepair (South Australian Police); and the National Scams Disruption Project (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission). The article locates these cases within existing theory on crime prevention, using available data to document initial positive outcomes. Overall, this article supports the use of a victim-oriented tertiary approach to online fraud, and advocates its potential to reduce both repeat victimisation and the harm incurred through online fraud.

Little is known, however, about the factors and outcomes that determine the success or failure of these enterprises. This paper explores stakeholder experiences of building community-based urban aquaponics enterprises to understand the internal and external factors that impact on their success or failure. We draw upon existing FS, social enterprise and aquaponics literature, to identify factors in the related area of community-based urban agriculture. For exploring these factors, we use a comparative case study methodology for two cases in Milwaukee and Melbourne, conducting in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, exploring their relative contexts, objectives and structure. Based on these findings, we highlight the challenges and suggest relevant indicators for establishing an urban aquaponics enterprise.

A unique example of Mesozoic stalked crinoid is described from cold methane seeps (hydrocarbon seep mounds also called "tepee buttes") from the Upper Cretaceous (upper Campanian) of the Northern Great Plains of the United States; the first crinoids to be described from such an environment. The Late Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway has never before yielded any identifiable stalked crinoid remains. Nevertheless, there have been significant studies on both free living and stalked crinoids from other locations in the Upper Cretaceous of North America that provide a good basis for comparison. Lakotacrinus brezinai n. gen. n. sp. is characterized by a tapering homeomorphic column with through-going tubuli, lacking any attachment disc. The arms are unbranched and pinnulate, with muscular and syzygial articulations. The unique morphology of the column justifies the establishment of Lakotacrinidae new family. A new suborder Lakotacrinina n. subord., is also proposed as there exists no corresponding taxon within the Articulata that can accommodate all the characteristics of this new genus. This new crinoid shares many features with other members of the articulates, including bathycrinids, bourgueticrinids and guillecrinids within the Order Comatulida, as currently defined in the revised Treatise of Invertebrate Paleontology. Reconstructing the entire crinoid using hundreds of semi-articulated and disarticulated (well preserved) fossils, reveals a unique paleoecology and functional morphology specifically adapted to living within this hydrocarbon seep environment.

Scutelluidae are most diverse, with eight genera, of which Dolabrapex, Iotoryx, Perizostra, and Quintonia are new. Perizostra is the first scutelluid with a cephalon that may be described as of phacomorph appearance. Illaenimorphs are represented by three genera, including Opsypharus, which is regarded as a senior synonym of Paracybantyx but distinct from Failleana with which it has been placed in synonymy by some authors. Thirteen species are new: Cybantyx? ergodes, Opsypharus pandanensis, Australoscutellum talenti, Dolabrapex acomus, Illaenoscutellum psephos, Iotoryx clarksoni, Japonoscutellum mawsonae, J. drakton, J. fractum, Kosovopeltis avita, Perizostra campbelli, Quintonia arata, and Q. pavo. A species of Stenoparia is placed in open nomenclature. The species of Australoscutellum, Illaenoscutellum, and possibly Kosovopeltis are the oldest known representatives of those genera. These genera and Japonoscutellum are also common in faunas from limestones of Wenlock to Ludlow age in central western New South Wales, reflecting the similarity in lithofacies. The monotypic Late Ordovician genus Craigheadia, which has been regarded as a scutelluid, belongs to the Lichidae and is probably a junior synonym of Leiolichas.

When implemented effectively STGs offer many health advantages. Papua New Guinea (PNG) has official STGs and a Medical and Dental Catalogue (MDC) which serves as a national EML for use at different levels of health facilities. This study evaluated consistency between the PNG Adult STGs (2003 and 2012) and those for children (2005 and 2011) with respect to the MDCs (2002, 2012) for six chronic and/or acute diseases: asthma, arthritis, diabetes, hypertension, pneumonia and psychosis. Additionally, the potential impact of prescriber level restrictions on rational medicines use for patient's living in rural areas, where no medical officer is present, was evaluated. Almost all drugs included in the STGs for each disease state evaluated were listed in the MDCs. However, significant discrepancies occurred between the recommended treatments in the STGs with the range of related medicines listed in the MDCs. Many medicines recommended in the STGs for chronic diseases had prescriber level restrictions hindering access for most of the PNG population who live in rural and remote areas. In addition many more medicines were listed in the MDCs which are commonly used to treat arthritis, high blood pressure and psychosis than were recommended in the STGs contributing to inappropriate prescribing. We recommend the public health and rational use of medicines deficiencies associated with these findings are addressed requiring: reviewing prescriber level restrictions; updating the STGs; aligning the MDC to reflect recommendations in the STGs; establishing the process where the MDC would automatically be updated based on any changes made to the STGs; and developing STGs for higher levels of care.

Methodology is well established for diploid species, and several software packages exist for elucidating paternity in diploids; however, these issues are not so readily addressed in polyploids due to the increased complexity of the exclusion problem and a lack of available software. We introduce polypatex, an r package for paternity exclusion analysis using microsatellite data in autopolyploid, monoecious or dioecious/bisexual species with a ploidy of 4n, 6n or 8n. Given marker data for a set of offspring, their mothers and a set of candidate fathers, polypatex uses allele matching to exclude candidates whose marker alleles are incompatible with the alleles in each offspring-mother pair. polypatex can analyse marker data sets in which allele copy numbers are known (genotype data) or unknown (allelic phenotype data) - for data sets in which allele copy numbers are unknown, comparisons are made taking into account all possible genotypes that could arise from the compared allele sets. polypatex is a software tool that provides population geneticists with the ability to investigate the mating patterns of autopolyploids using paternity exclusion analysis on data from codominant markers having multiple alleles per locus.

AN - 1783912555; 26056019 AB - The introduction of anthracyclines to adjuvant chemotherapy has increased survival rates among breast cancer patients. Cyclophosphamide, epirubicin and 5-fluorouracil (CEF) combination therapy is now one of the preferred regimens for treating node-positive breast cancer due to better survival with less toxicity involved. Despite the increasing use of CEF, its potential in causing adverse skeletal effects remains unclear. Using a mature female rat model mimicking the clinical setting, this study examined the effects of CEF treatment on bone and bone marrow in long bones. Following six cycles of CEF treatment (weekly intravenous injections of cyclophosphamide at 10 mg/kg, epirubicin at 2.5 mg/kg and 5-flurouracil at 10 mg/kg), a significant reduction in trabecular bone volume was observed at the metaphysis, which was associated with a reduced serum level of bone formation marker alkaline phosphatase (ALP), increased trends of osteoclast density and osteoclast area at the metaphysis, as well as an increased size of osteoclasts being formed from the bone marrow cells ex vivo. Moreover, a severe reduction of bone marrow cellularity was observed following CEF treatment, which was accompanied by an increase in marrow adipose tissue volume. This increase in marrow adiposity was associated with an expansion in adipocyte size but not in marrow adipocyte density. Overall, this study indicates that six cycles of CEF chemotherapy may induce some bone loss and severe bone marrow damage. Mechanisms for CEF-induced bone/bone marrow pathologies and potential preventive strategies warrant further investigation.

AN - 1781150352; 26835972 AB - Information on antiretroviral therapy (ART) use in HIV-infected children with severe malnutrition (SM) is lacking. We investigated long-term ART outcomes in this population. Children enrolled in the TREAT Asia Pediatric HIV Observational Database who had SM (weight-for-height or body mass index-for-age Z score less than -3) at ART initiation were analyzed. Generalized estimating equations were used to investigate poor weight recovery (weight-for-age Z score less than -3) and poor CD4% recovery (CD4% <25), and competing risk regression was used to analyze mortality and toxicity-associated treatment modification. Three hundred fifty-five (11.9%) of 2993 children starting ART had SM. Their median weight-for-age Z score increased from -5.6 at ART initiation to -2.3 after 36 months. Not using trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole prophylaxis at baseline was associated with poor weight recovery [odds ratio: 2.49 vs. using; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.66-3.74; P < 0.001]. Median CD4% increased from 3.0 at ART initiation to 27.2 after 36 months, and 56 (15.3%) children died during follow-up. More profound SM was associated with poor CD4% recovery (odds ratio: 1.78 for Z score less than -4.5 vs. -3.5 to less than -3.0; 95% CI: 1.08-2.92; P = 0.023) and mortality (hazard ratio: 2.57 for Z score less than -4.5 vs. -3.5 to less than -3.0; 95% CI: 1.24-5.33; P = 0.011). Twenty-two toxicity-associated ART modifications occurred at a rate of 2.4 per 100 patient-years, and rates did not differ by malnutrition severity. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole prophylaxis is important for the recovery of weight-for-age in severely malnourished children starting ART. The extent of SM does not impede weight-for-age recovery or antiretroviral tolerability, but CD4% response is compromised in children with a very low weight-for-height/body mass index-for-age Z score, which may contribute to their high rate of mortality.

AN - 1779880257; 26685854 AB - Ewing's sarcoma (EWS) is the second most common primary bone tumor in pediatric patients characterized by over expression of CD99. Current management consists in extensive chemotherapy in addition to surgical resection and/or radiation. Recent improvements in treatment are still overshadowed by severe side effects such as toxicity and risk of secondary malignancies; therefore, more effective strategies are urgently needed. The goal of this work was to develop a rapid, inexpensive, and "up-scalable" process of a novel human bivalent single-chain fragment variable diabody (C7 dAbd) directed against CD99, as a new therapeutic approach for EWS. We first investigated different Escherichia coli constructs of C7 dAbd in small-scale studies. Starting from 60 % soluble fraction, we obtained a yield of 25 mg C7 dAbd per liter of bacterial culture with the construct containing pelB signal sequence. In contrast, a low recovery of C7 dAbd was achieved starting from periplasmic inclusion bodies. In order to maximize the yield of C7 dAbd, large-scale fermentation was optimized. We obtained from 75 % soluble fraction 35 mg C7 dAbd per L of cell culture grown in a synthetic media containing 3 g/L of vegetable peptone and 1 g/L of yeast extract. Furthermore, we demonstrated the better efficacy of the cell lysis by homogenization versus periplasmic extraction, in reducing endotoxin level of the C7 dAbd. For gram-scale purification, a direct aligned two-step chromatography cascade based on binding selectivity was developed. Finally, we recovered C7 dAbd with low residual process-related impurities, excellent reactivity, and apoptotic ability against EWS cells.

In Australia's Gippsland region, in the east of the state of Victoria, state actors shape trajectories of development while limiting local input to consultative forums. However, this account of regional governance obscures the role of marginalized actors. Despite limited opportunities for meaningful involvement, less powerful social groups can be influential by strategically engaging with state structures and local communities. Drawing upon a strategic-relational approach, with specific reference to the regional politics of scale, territory and relationality, this empirical study considers the role of the state and marginalized actors in shaping regional development policy.

AN - 1777979149; 26857961 AB - Sepsis is a serious medical condition caused by a severe systemic inflammatory response to a bacterial, fungal, or viral infection that most commonly affects neonates and the elderly. Advances in understanding the pathophysiology of sepsis have resulted in guidelines for care that have helped reduce the risk of dying from sepsis for both children and older adults. Still, over the past three decades, a large number of clinical trials have been undertaken to evaluate pharmacological agents for sepsis. Unfortunately, all of these trials have failed, with the use of some agents even shown to be harmful. One key issue in these trials was the heterogeneity of the patient population that participated. What has emerged is the need to target therapeutic interventions to the specific patient's underlying pathophysiological processes, rather than looking for a universal therapy that would be effective in a "typical" septic patient, who does not exist. This review supports the concept that identification of the right biomarkers that can direct therapy and provide timely feedback on its effectiveness will enable critical care physicians to decrease mortality of patients with sepsis and improve the quality of life of survivors.

metals on the impervious surfaces of a commercial seaport. AN - 1767625818; 26866754 AB - In the context of increasing threats to the sensitive marine ecosystem by toxic metals, this study investigated the metal build-up on impervious surfaces specific to commercial seaports. The knowledge generated from this study will contribute to managing toxic metal pollution of the marine ecosystem. The study found that inter-modal operations and main access roadway had the highest loads followed by container storage and vehicle marshalling sites, while the quay line and short term storage areas had the lowest. Additionally, it was found that Cr, Al, Pb, Cu and Zn were predominantly attached to solids, while significant amount of Cu, Pb and Zn were found as nutrient complexes. As such, treatment options based on solids retention can be effective for some metal species, while ineffective for other species. Furthermore, Cu and Zn are more likely to become bioavailable in seawater due to their strong association with nutrients. Mathematical models to replicate the metal build-up process were also developed using experimental design approach and partial least squares regression. The models for Cr and Pb were found to be reliable, while those for Al, Zn and Cu were relatively less reliable, but could be employed for preliminary investigations. Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Inc.

AN - 1782831115; 27090570 AB - The synthesis of ordered monolayers of gold nano-urchin (Au-NU) nanostructures with controlled size, directly on thin films using a simple electrochemical method is reported in this study. In order to demonstrate one of the vast potential applications, the developed Au-NUs were formed on the electrodes of transducers (QCM) to selectively detect low concentrations of elemental mercury (Hg(0)) vapor. It was found that the sensitivity and selectivity of the sensor device is enhanced by increasing the size of the nanospikes on the Au-NUs. The Au-NU-12 min QCM (Au-NUs with nanospikes grown on it for a period of 12 min) had the best performance in terms of transducer based Hg(0) vapor detection. The sensor had 98% accuracy, 92% recovery, 96% precision (repeatability) and significantly, showed the highest sensitivity reported to date, resulting in a limit of detection (LoD) of only 32 μg/m3 at 75 °C. When compared to the control counterpart, the accuracy and sensitivity of the Au-NU-12 min was enhanced by ~2 and ~5 times, respectively. The results demonstrate the excellent activity of the developed materials which can be applied to a range of applications due to their long range order, tunable size and ability to form directly on thin-films.

One important role of piRNAs is to defend genome integrity by guiding PIWI proteins to silence transposable elements (TEs), which have a high potential to cause deleterious effects on their host. The mechanism of piRNA-mediated post-transcriptional silencing was also observed to affect mRNAs, suggesting that piRNAs might play a broad role in gene expression regulation. However, there has been no systematic report with regard to how many protein-coding genes might be targeted and regulated by piRNAs.Results: We trained a support vector machine classifier based on a combination of Miwi CLIP-Seq-derived features and position-derived features to predict the potential targets of piRNAs on mRNAs in the mouse. Reanalysis of a published microarray dataset suggested that the expression level of the 2587 protein-coding genes predicted as piRNA targets showed significant upregulation as a whole after abolishing the slicer activity of Miwi, supporting the conclusion that they are subject to piRNA-mediated regulation.Availability and implementation: A web version of the method called pirnaPre as well as our results for browse is available at http://www.regulatoryrna.org/software/piRNA/piRNA_target_mRNA/inde x .php.

AN - 1773807977; 26896824 AB - Although organic chloramines are known to form during the disinfection of drinking water with chlorine, little information is currently available on their occurrence or toxicity. In a recent in vitro study, some organic chloramines (e.g. N-chloroglycine) were found to be cytotoxic and genotoxic even at micromolar concentrations. In this paper, the formation and stability of 21 different organic chloramines, from chlorination of simple amines and amino acids, were studied, and the competition between 20 amino acids during chlorination was also investigated. For comparison, chlorination of two amides was also conducted. The formation and degradation of selected organic chloramines were measured using either direct UV spectroscopic or colorimetric detection. Although cysteine, methionine and tryptophan were the most reactive amino acids towards chlorination, they did not form organic chloramines at the chlorine to precursor molar ratios that were tested. Only 6 out of the 21 organic chloramines formed had a half-life of more than 3 h, although this group included all organic chloramines formed from amines. A health risk assessment relating stability and reactivity data from this study to toxicity and precursor abundance data from the literature indicated that only N-chloroglycine is likely to be of concern due to its stability, toxicity and abundance in water. However, given the stability of organic chloramines formed from amines, more information about the toxicity and precursor abundance for these chloramines is desirable. Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

The structural setting is characterized by a complex structure resulting from the superposition of several tectonic phases that generated NW-SE trending Dinaric faults and about E-W trending Alpine faults. The upper crust is characterized by lithological and mechanical heterogeneities. The fractal analysis shows that, in general, the seismicity only partially fills a plane. Only in a few cases, the earthquakes distribute on planar structures. The orientation of planes that fit through the hypocentres shows a different disposition at the two depth intervals analysed. The shallower interval (0-10 km) is characterized by planes with highly variable orientations. The spatial seismicity is investigated in the context of a general damage model, represented by the crack density distribution. The results evidence that the seismicity appears mostly located along sharp transition areas from low crack density to higher crack density, i.e., from zones of low damage to zones of intermediate damage. These zones are characterized by high heterogeneity due to the superposition of different tectonic phases and by the maximum interference between Dinaric and Alpine domains. The orientation of the planes fitting the seismicity at 10-20-km depth appears less dispersed, coinciding with the trend of Dinaric sub-vertical faults in the northern and eastern parts of the study area, and with Alpine low-angle faults in the western and southern parts.

This study investigated the conversion of furan into benzofuran over a Broensted acid catalyst (Amberlyst 70) at 140-190 degree C in various solvents. With water as the solvent, furan could barely make its way to benzofuran as its polymerization dominated. With methanol as the solvent, the polymerization of furan was suppressed and benzofuran formation was enhanced substantially. This is because in methanol, the reactive intermediates (i.e., aldehydes) were stabilized and their involvement in polymerization reactions was suppressed. Other alcohols showed similar effects on suppressing polymerization. In dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), the polymerization of furan was also effectively suppressed. However, furan was not converted to benzofuran but to levulinic acid via a distinct reaction route.

Phage display is one of the best and most efficient methods to isolate human antibodies selected from an efficient and variable phage display library. We report a method for the construction of a human naive single-chain variable fragment library, termed IORISS1. Many different sets of oligonucleotide primers as well as optimized electroporation and ligation reactions were used to generate this library of 1.2109 individual clones. The key difference is the diversity of variable gene templates, which was derived from only 15 non-immunized human donors. The method described here, was used to make a new human naive single-chain fragment variable phage display library that represents a valuable source of diverse antibodies that can be used as research reagents or as a starting point for the development of therapeutics.

There is a need to study the effect of nMU and FFR to analyse the association with ageing and disease. This study has developed a mathematical model to investigate the relationship between nMU and FFR on surface electromyogram (sEMG) of the biceps muscles. The model has been validated by comparing the simulation outcomes with experiments comparing the sEMG of physically active younger and older cohort. The results show that there is statistically significant difference between the two groups, and the simulation studies closely model the experimental results. This model can be applied to identify the cause of muscle weakness among the elderly due to factors such as muscle dystrophy or preferential loss of type F muscle fibres.

We have analysed daily 850 hPa wind, volumetric precipitable water, precipitation and temperature data from 26 CMIP5 models over a pair of 55-year simulations. Firstly, the CMIP5 models do not show significant improvement in capturing observed features of the monsoon onset/retreat in the region, despite of a slightly reduced bias in multi-model ensemble results. We show that wind-rainfall relationship varies with models and rainfall-based wet season onsets may not adequately represent the monsoon development. Under global warming, although 26-model averages show delayed onset and shortened duration, significant uncertainty exists: 10 models simulated delayed onset but it became earlier in another group of 7 models. Similar model discrepancies are seen in the modelled changes in retreat dates. The range of uncertainty in the projected changes is similar in CMIP3 and CMIP5 models and further analysis re-affirms previously proposed reasons: one is the different influence of a number of drivers in these models and the other is the different changes in these drivers themselves in future climate. Overall, most of the models showed impacts of ENSO and the Indian Ocean on the Australian summer monsoon onset/retreat, but the models differed quite significantly in the magnitude of such impacts. Another factor is different warming patterns and magnitudes in the tropical Pacific and Indian Oceans. When combined, the two provide a better explanation of the scatter among the 26 CMIP5 model results.

Children aged <5 years are particularly at risk, and children and young people continue to be overrepresented in drowning statistics. Accordingly, evidence informed interventions to prevent children drowning are of global importance. This review aimed to identify, assess and analyse public health interventions to reduce child drowning and investigate the use of behavioural theories and evaluation frameworks to guide child drowning prevention. Thirteen databases were searched for relevant peer reviewed articles. The systematic review was guided by the PRISMA criteria and registered with PROSPERO. Fifteen articles were included in the final review. Studies were delivered in high, middle and low income countries. Intervention designs varied, one-third of studies targeted children under five. Almost half of the studies relied on education and information to reduce drowning deaths, only three studies used a multi-strategy approach. Minimal use of behavioural theories and/or frameworks was found and just one-third of the studies described formative evaluation. This review reveals an over reliance on education and information as a strategy to prevent drowning, despite evidence for comprehensive multi-strategy approaches. Accordingly, interventions must be supported that use a range of strategies, are shaped by theory and planning and evaluation frameworks, and are robust in intervention design, delivery and evaluation methodology. This approach will provide sound evidence that can be disseminated to inform future practice and policy for drowning prevention.

We calculate monthly water balances for five main regions of Bangladesh to examine the likely impacts of climate change to 2050. We also examine the impact of past and potential future irrigation development. Climate change projections for rainfall in Bangladesh are uncertain, with increased rain in the wet season likely, but decreased rain also possible. Runoff is projected to vary in a manner similar to rainfall. However, assuming no change to the area of crops, all projections result in increases in irrigation water use, which leads to groundwater level declines. The impact of change (whether climate change or development) on water availability and use is greater in the Northwest region than elsewhere. For most water balance terms in most regions, irrigation development (both historic and future) is calculated to have a larger impact than climate change. Climate change is calculated to have a larger impact than irrigation development only on evapotranspiration and runoff, and possibly on groundwater levels. Model sensitivity tests suggest that model uncertainty is less than climate change uncertainty. To reverse lowered groundwater levels, Bangladesh's policy includes greater use of surface water. While we calculate groundwater levels will rise, the viability of the policy may be affected by future changes to upstream use.

AN - 1765580515; 26820781 AB - Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are organic micro pollutants which are persistent compounds in the environment due to their hydrophobic nature. Concerns over their adverse effects in human health and environment have resulted in extensive studies on various types of PAHs removal methods. Sorption is one of the widely used methods as PAHs possess a great sorptive ability into the solid media and their low aqueous solubility property. Several adsorbent media such as activated carbon, biochar, modified clay minerals have been largely used to remove PAHs from aqueous solution and to immobilise PAHs in the contaminated soils. According to the past studies, very high removal efficiency could be achieved using the adsorbents such as removal efficiency of activated carbon, biochar and modified clay mineral were 100%, 98.6% and >99%, respectively. PAHs removal efficiency or adsorption/absorption capacity largely depends on several parameters such as particle size of the adsorbent, pH, temperature, solubility, salinity including the production process of adsorbents. Although many studies have been carried out to remove PAHs using the sorption process, the findings have not been consolidated which potentially hinder to get the correct information for future study and to design the sorption method to remove PAHs. Therefore, this paper summarized the adsorbent media which have been used to remove PAHs especially from aqueous solutions including the factor affecting the sorption process reported in 142 literature published between 1934 and 2015.

Effects of various process parameters such as initial dye concentration, adsorbent loading, solution pH, temperature, presence of salts, mixture of dyes and surfactant onto MB dye adsorption by bark material were studied. Significant effect on adsorption was witnessed on varying the pH of the MB solutions. Results showed that the optimum pH lies between 7.4 and 10.0. The extent (%) of MB adsorption from aqueous solution decreased with the increase in the initial MB dye concentration, but increased with rise in temperature. The extent of MB dye adsorption was found to be enhanced due to increase of salts concentration. This is because of salting-out-effect, which comprises the changes of various short range forces. The overall kinetic studies showed that the MB dye adsorption by EB biomass followed pseudo-second-order kinetics. The mechanism of MB dye adsorption was analysed by intra-particle diffusion model and desorption study. Free energy change of adsorption ( Delta G degree ), enthalpy change ( Delta H degree ) and entropy change ( Delta S degree ) were calculated to predict the nature of adsorption. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm model yields a better correlation coefficient than the Freundlich model and the dimensionless separation factor "RL " indicated favourable adsorption process. The maximum Langmuir monolayer adsorption capacity of raw EB for MB dye was found to be 204.08 mg/g at 30 degree C. A single-stage batch adsorber design for MB dye adsorption onto EB biomass has been presented based on the Langmuir isotherm model equation. The results obtained in this study suggest a promising future for inexpensive raw EB biomass as a novel adsorbent and a better alternative to activated carbon adsorbent used for the removal of MB dye from dye bearing effluents.

AN - 1771447182; 26944410 AB - Aluminium (Al) toxicity is the main factor limiting the crop production in acid soils and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is one of the most Al-sensitive of the small-grained cereals. The major gene for Al tolerance in barley is HvAACT1 (HvMATE) on chromosome 4H which encodes a multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) protein. The HvAACT1 protein facilitates the Al-activated release of citrate from root apices which protects the growing cells and enables root elongation to continue. A 1 kb transposable element-like insert in the 5' untranslated region (UTR) of HvAACT1 is associated with increased gene expression and tolerance and a PCR-based marker is available to score for this insertion. We screened a wide range of barley genotypes for Al tolerance and identified a moderately tolerant Chinese genotype named CXHKSL which did not show the typical allele in the 5' UTR of HvAACT1 associated with tolerance. We investigated the mechanism of Al tolerance in CXHKSL and concluded it also relies on the Al-activated release of citrate from roots. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis of double haploid lines generated with CXHKSL and the Al-sensitive variety Gairdner mapped the tolerance locus to the same region as HvAACT1 on chromosome 4H. Our results show that the Chinese barley genotype CXHKSL possesses a novel allele of the major Al tolerance gene HvAACT1.

However, in some urban areas, recent drought conditions have led to the promotion of rainwater tanks to supplement domestic water supplies. Evidence suggests that water tank maintenance may be insufficient in many cases, leading to problems with water quality and the potential spread of vector-borne disease. Drawing on research into the impact of personal experience (i.e. procedural knowledge) relating to pro-environmental behaviour, a survey of urban residents with mandated rainwater tanks (N = 746) was conducted. The study assessed whether past personal history of living with a tank influenced the frequency of tank maintenance behaviours. Analyses indicated that both childhood and prior adult experience with rainwater tanks were important in predicting adequate tank maintenance behaviour, particularly among males. The results also showed that attitudinal perceptions of water culture did not influence maintenance behaviour, whereas direct past experiences did, suggesting an important role for procedural knowledge. These results are discussed with reference to the promotion of tank maintenance and other pro-environmental behaviours through the development of future environmental policies designed to foster the development of pro-environmental skills to empower citizens.

The aim of this study was to understand the mechanism that governs boron removal from seawater using date seed ash as an adsorbent in batch adsorption experiments. The effects of adsorbent dose, contact time, and temperature on boron removal were tested. A surface study of the date seed ash was investigated using scanning electron microscope, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared. Thermogravimetric-analysis, specific area using Brunauer, Emmett and Teller method, and particle density were also obtained. The maximum removal efficiency of boron was around 47% at neutral pH. The application of date seed ash is a promising adsorbent for boron removal where it can be used as pretreatment before reverse osmosis desalination process. This will increase the stability of membranes, minimize the membrane scaling, and ultimately reduce the operating cost.

AN - 1848664072 AB - This article explores the impact of the economic crisis on the Orthodox Church of Greece (OCG). The first three parts of the article set the current stage by offering a short overview of the crisis and the response of the OCG through its charitable social welfare activities. The fourth part looks at church-state relations in Greece, covering more particularly its financial aspects. The fifth and final part discusses how the economic crisis has affected the OCG itself, including its own finances and governance, and sustainability and mission in the long term. Although the OCG provides social assistance to the Greek population during the economic crisis, it also finds itself very much affected by the same crisis. The economic crisis has forced the OCG to reduce its operating costs while at the same time continue its extensive social work. The crisis has also prompted public debates and questions about the finances of the OCG. This situation may gradually force either the Greek state or the OCG, or perhaps both, to rethink their relationship in the future.

Host transcriptional reprogramming is a central part of plant defense upon pathogen recognition. Recent studies link DNA methylation and demethylation as well as chromatin remodeling by posttranslational histone modifications, including acetylation, methylation, and ubiquitination, to changes in the expression levels of defense genes upon pathogen challenge. Remarkably these inducible defense mechanisms can be primed prior to pathogen attack by epigenetic modifications and this heightened resistance state can be transmitted to subsequent generations by inheritance of these modification patterns. Beside the plant host, epigenetic mechanisms have also been implicated in virulence development of pathogens. This review highlights recent findings and insights into epigenetic mechanisms associated with interactions between plants and pathogens, in particular bacterial and fungal pathogens, and demonstrates the positive role they can have in promoting plant defense.

NO-releasing pSiNPs were produced via the conjugation of S-nitrosothiol (SNO) and S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) donors to the nanoparticle surfaces. The release of the conjugated NO caused by the decomposition of the conjugated SNO and GSNO was boosted in the presence of ascorbic acid. The released NO was bactericidal to Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli), and eliminated bacterial growth within 2 h of incubation without compromising the viability of mammalian cells. These results demonstrate the advantages of NO-releasing pSiNPs for antibacterial applications, for example, in chronic wound treatment. JF - Journal of materials chemistry.

Moving beyond binary measures of success or failure, it provides a systematic approach to understanding what goes on in the 'Black Box' and how implementation decisions in real life contexts can affect intervention effectiveness. This paper reflects on an experience in applying the tenets of realist evaluation to identify optimal implementation strategies for scale-up of Maternal and Newborn Health (MNH) programmes in rural Bangladesh. Supported by UNICEF, the three MNH programmes under consideration employed different implementation models to deliver similar services and meet similar MNH goals. Programme targets included adoption of recommended antenatal, post-natal and essential newborn care practices; health systems strengthening through improved referral, accountability and administrative systems, and increased community knowledge. Drawing on focused examples from this research, seven steps for operationalizing the realist evaluation approach are offered, while emphasizing the need to iterate and innovate in terms of methods and analysis strategies. The paper concludes by reflecting on lessons learned in applying realist evaluation, and the unique insights it yields regarding implementation strategies for successful MNH programming.

This work investigates the biofouling potential of microbial communities present in a reverse osmosis (RO) feed tank. As an example, water from the RO feed tank of the Penneshaw desalination plant (Kangaroo Island, South Australia) was used in a static biofilm formation experiment. Cultures of the indigenous biofilms formed during the static experiment showed that alpha -Proteobacteria and gamma -Proteobacteria accounted for nearly 80% of the classes of bacteria present in the RO feed tank. Pseudomonassp. was identified as the major species and isolated for testing in static and laboratory-based cross flow biofilm formation experiments. Results showed that the volume of TEPs generated by Pseudomonassp. during the laboratory-based cross-flow experiment was 10 fold higher to that produced during the static experiment for the same time period, while both experiments were inoculated with cell concentrations of the same order of magnitude. The availability of nutrients was also shown to be a key driver in TEP production, particularly for the static experiments. This study provides insights into the phenomenon of biofouling by assessing the production of biofouling precursors from one of the main genera of biofilm-forming bacteria, namely Pseudomonassp.

AN - 1778399814; 25292303 AB - A risk assessment for freshwater and marine ecosystems is presented for 48 pharmaceutical compounds, belonging to 16 therapeutic classes, and prescribed in northwestern France. Ecotoxicity data were obtained on two freshwater organisms, i.e., crustacean Daphnia magna and the green algae Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, and on two marine organisms, i.e., the crustacean Artemia salina and the diatom Skeletonema marinoi. Measured environmental concentrations (MEC), in the Orne River and sea off Merville-Franceville in the Basse-Normandie region, were compared to the predicted environmental concentrations (PEC). Predicted no-effect concentrations (PNEC) were derived from acute data for each compound. Then, a risk assessment for each compound and the mixture was performed by calculating risk quotients (RQ as PEC or MEC/PNEC ratio). Results showed that no immediate acute toxicities were expected even if some compounds displayed strong toxicities at very low concentrations. Antibiotics, antidepressants, and antifungals would deserve attention because of their high or median ecological risk suspected on marine and freshwater ecosystems. Marine ecosystems would be more sensitive to pharmaceutical residues.

Erythrocyte concentrates (ECs) can be stored up to 56 days at 4 degree C in saline additive solution mainly composed of adenine and sugar. Such nonphysiological conditions induce the occurrence of storage lesions, such as alterations of metabolism, protein oxidation, and deterioration of rheological properties. Their accumulation tends to decrease the main EC therapeutic property, that is, the oxygenation capacity. Protein carbonylation is a marker of oxidative stress and aging, and its occurrence during RBC storage was earlier characterized as a time-dependent and cellular compartment dependent modification. Experimental design Three ECs from independent donations were followed. The carbolynome was here characterized in soluble and membrane extracts (n-dodecyl beta -d-maltoside-based extraction buffer) of RBCs stored for 6, 27, and 41 days, through biotin hydrazide derivatization, biotin-avidin affinity purification, SDS-PAGE separation, and LC-MS/MS analyses. Results A total of 142 and 20 proteins were identified as carbonylated in soluble and membrane extracts, respectively. Particularly, a time-dependent evolution of 26.8% of the soluble carbonylome was observed. Conclusions and clinical relevance Affected cellular mechanisms involve antioxidant defenses, metabolism pathways, and proteasomal degradation. To better store RBCs those functions have to be preserved, which opens new routes of investigation in transfusion medicine.

This paper focuses on opportunities for climate assessments to be used more effectively to enhance adaptive capacity, particularly drawing from experiences with the third US National Climate Assessment (NCA3). We discuss the evolution of thinking about adaptation as a process and the importance of societal values, as well as the role of assessments in this evolution. We provide a rationale for prioritizing future assessment activities, with an expectation of moving beyond the concept of climate adaptation as an explicit and separable activity from "normal" planning and implementation in the future. Starting with the values and resources that need to be protected or developed by communities rather than starting with an analysis of changes in climate drivers can provide opportunities for reframing climate issues in ways that are likely to result in more positive outcomes. A critical part of successful risk management is monitoring and evaluating the systems of interest to decision-makers and the effectiveness of interventions following integration of climate considerations into ongoing strategic planning activities and implementation. Increasingly this will require consideration of path dependency and coincident events. We argue that climate adaptation is a transitional process that bridges the gap between historically time-tested ways of doing business and the kinds of decision processes that may be required in the future, and that scientific assessments will be increasingly central to these transitions in decision processes over time.

The intervention involved education of staff and standardization of infant sleep practices utilizing a multifaceted approach. Staff surveys and environmental audits were conducted pre- and post-intervention. Safe Sleep Environment (SSE) audits showed an improvement from 23% to 34% (p < 0.001) post-intervention. Staff confidence to provide education to caregivers on SSP showed a significant increase. Results from this project demonstrate a successful approach to implement SSP in the hospital setting. Infant safe sleep practices have the potential to reduce infant mortality.

This has largely been achieved through long-term investments in tree breeding programs that select the best-performing genotypes for varied regional environments. However, climate change could threaten the realisation of genetic improvement in plantations due to suboptimal matching of improved planting stock to new climate conditions. Here, we investigate how information from genetic field tests could be utilised under anticipated climate change. We use principal component analysis and Mahalanobis distance measures to find the closest match between climate of plantation regions in the future and current climate of field test sites. By 2050, future climates of some important plantation regions are expected to match climates currently present in different regions. For example, future climates of Green Triangle, a key plantation region in Australia, will better match current climate of Western Australia. The Central North Island of New Zealand will shift to warmer and wetter climate with no current analogue, and Western Australia, to warmer and drier no-analogue climate. The latter is also likely to fall outside the climate niche where radiata pine can be grown in the future. Nevertheless, for the majority of radiata pine plantation regions in Australia and New Zealand our analysis provides a framework of how anticipated climate change can be addressed in tree improvement programs using existing field tests.

While three-dimensional (3D) models have the advantage of being able to capture complex flow paths within the subsurface, they are also more data intensive, requiring a detailed knowledge of both thermal and hydraulic streambed properties. Temperature data are relatively easy to acquire at a high resolution within a natural stream environment; however, it is typically more difficult to capture hydraulic head measurements at this same resolution, making it difficult to apply appropriate boundary conditions to 3D models in order to estimate streambed fluxes from heat tracer techniques alone. In this study, we examine the consequences of the lack of detailed head data for parameterizing boundary conditions. We tested the abilities of three 3D heat and water transport models with increasingly complex boundary conditions to match observed thermal patterns and predict streambed fluxes. All three models showed similar spatial patterns of high and low fluxes. The amplitude of predicted daily temperature variation at a depth of 0.25 m and 0.5 m below the streambed was generally within 0.1 degree C (i.e. within sensor error) of observed, while all three models typically underestimated daily temperature variation in advective areas at a depth of 0.1 m. The results of this study suggest that 3D heat transport models of streambeds may be more limited by the low sensitivity of hydraulic conductivity to small temperature variations than by the lack of detailed hydraulic head data for parameterizing boundary conditions.

Purpose: To create a cadaveric model of hip capsule laxity and evaluate the biomechanical effects of a capsular shift used to treat hip instability on this model. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: Eight cadaveric hips with an average age of 58.5 years were tested with a custom hip testing system in 6 conditions: intact, vented, instability, capsulotomy, side-to-side repair, and capsular shift. To create the hip model, the capsule was stretched in extension under 35 N.m of torque for 1 hour in neutral rotation. Measurements included internal and external rotation with 1.5 N.m of torque at 5 positions: 5 degree of extension and 0 degree , 15 degree , 30 degree , and 45 degree of flexion for each of the above conditions. The degree of maximum extension with 5 N.m of torque and the amount of femoral distraction with 40 N and 80 N of force were measured. Statistical analysis was performed by use of repeated-measures analysis of variance with Tukey post hoc analysis. Results: The instability state significantly increased internal rotation at all flexion angles and increased distraction compared with the intact state. The capsulotomy condition resulted in significantly increased external rotation and internal rotation at all positions, increased distraction, and maximum extension compared with the intact state. The side-to-side repair condition restored internal rotation back to the instability state but not to the intact state at 5 degree of extension and 0 degree of flexion. The capsular shift state significantly decreased internal rotation compared with the instability state at 5 degree of extension and 0 degree and 15 degree of flexion. The capsular shift and side-to-side repair conditions had similar effects on external rotation at all flexion-extension positions. The capsular shift state decreased distraction and maximum extension compared with the instability state, but the side-to-side repair state did not. Conclusion: The hip capsular instability model was shown to have significantly greater total range of motion, external rotation, and extension compared with the intact condition. The greatest effects of capsular shift are seen with internal rotation, maximum extension, and distraction, with minimal effect on external rotation compared with the side-to side repair state. Clinical Relevance: The biomechanical effects of the capsular shift procedure indicate that it can be used to treat hip capsular laxity by decreasing extension and distraction with minimal effect on external rotation.

Decision makers tend to address this challenge by framing adaptation as a decision problem, whereby the responses to impacts of change are addressed within existing decision processes centred on defining the decision problem and selecting options. However, this 'decision-making perspective' is constrained by societal values and principles, regulations and norms and the state of knowledge. It is therefore unsuitable for addressing complex, contested, cross-scale problems. In this paper we argue that simply broadening the decision-making perspective to account for institutions and values is not enough. We contend the decision-making perspective needs to be connected with a broader 'decision-context perspective' that focuses on how the societal system of decision processes affects the manner in which a particular problem is addressed. We describe the decision context as an interconnected system of values, rules and knowledge (vrk). The interaction of systems of vrk both creates and limits the set of practical, permissible decisions; the types of values, rules and knowledge that influence the decision and the capacity for change and transformation in the decision context. We developed a framework to analyse the interactions between values, rules and knowledge and their influence on decision making and decision contexts of adaptation initiatives, and applied it retrospectively to three projects on adaptation to sea-level rise. Our analysis revealed: (1) specific examples of how interactions between vrk systems constrained existing framings of decision making and the development of options for coastal adaptation; (2) limitations in the adaptive management strategies that underpinned the projects and (3) how the linked systems of vrk can allow adaptation practitioners to structure adaptation as a process of co-evolutionary change that enables a broader set of social issues and change processes to be considered. Adaptation projects that focus on the decision context represent a pragmatic alternative to existing decision-focused adaptation. By using the vrk model to diagnose constraints in decision processes, we show how the reframing of adaptation initiatives can reveal new approaches to developing adaptation responses to complex global change problems.

AN - 1781535766; 26802024 AB - Despite multimodal treatment, long term outcome for patients with Ewing sarcoma is still poor. The second "European interdisciplinary Ewing sarcoma research summit" assembled a large group of scientific experts in the field to discuss their latest unpublished findings on the way to the identification of novel therapeutic targets and strategies. Ewing sarcoma is characterized by a quiet genome with presence of an EWSR1-ETS gene rearrangement as the only and defining genetic aberration. RNA-sequencing of recently described Ewing-like sarcomas with variant translocations identified them as biologically distinct diseases. Various presentations adressed mechanisms of EWS-ETS fusion protein activities with a focus on EWS-FLI1. Data were presented shedding light on the molecular underpinnings of genetic permissiveness to this disease uncovering interaction of EWS-FLI1 with recently discovered susceptibility loci. Epigenetic context as a consequence of the interaction between the oncoprotein, cell type, developmental stage, and tissue microenvironment emerged as dominant theme in the discussion of the molecular pathogenesis and inter- and intra-tumor heterogeneity of Ewing sarcoma, and the difficulty to generate animal models faithfully recapitulating the human disease. The problem of preclinical development of biologically targeted therapeutics was discussed and promising perspectives were offered from the study of novel in vitro models. Finally, it was concluded that in order to facilitate rapid pre-clinical and clinical development of novel therapies in Ewing sarcoma, the community needs a platform to maintain knowledge of unpublished results, systems and models used in drug testing and to continue the open dialogue initiated at the first two Ewing sarcoma summits.

Such a strategy has been practised in Australia for nearly 15 years. This paper documents and analyses the effect of repetitive audits on measured site energy consumption. Using a self-constructed database of over 3500 audited disclosures representing over 800 unique office buildings, empirical models demonstrate that measured site energy consumption declines, on average, over the first five re-certification periods. The results also suggest a market average post-certification equilibrium in Australia of approximately 430MJ/m super(2)/year (120kWh/m super(2)/year) within approximately six years, if all else - including green management strategy - is held constant. Since GHG emissions from buildings in Australia are highly correlated with site energy consumption, such a result is comparable with meeting 50-year GHG mitigation targets reliant on the implementation of existing technologies. This suggests that repetitive auditing is a successful approach for motivating owners to invest in existing energy efficiency technologies.

AN - 1760899446; 26721183 AB - Antifouling strategies to limit biofilms on submerged surfaces in the marine environment are of particular interest due to the economic and environmental impacts in industries such as shipping and aquaculture. Here, we investigate the influence of chemically modified hessian bag surfaces on the bacterial abundance and community composition of biofilm formation using flow cytometry and 16S rRNA pyrosequencing. Hessian bags were coated with 5% and 10% Propyl(trimethoxy)silane (PTMS) and half of the bags had their lignin and hemicellulose removed via NaOH mercerisation. Significantly lower bacterial abundance was observed on mercerised bags treated with 5% PTMS (p<0.01). Significant shifts in bacterial taxa were also observed (p=0.0004), whereby unmercerised bags exhibited higher relative abundances of the anaerobic family Desulfovibrionaceae (4.5±1.7%), while mercerised bags displayed higher relative abundances of the aerobic family Phyllobacteriaceae (3.6±1.7%). This suggests that the mercerisation process may lower colonization rates and subsequently produce a thinner biofilm. This hypothesis is strengthened by the lower abundance of bacteria on mercerised bags, particularly on the 5% PTMS coating. Our results show that modifying a hessian surface via non-toxic coating and mercerisation reduces biofilm formation and also shifts the dominant taxa, increasing our understanding of antifouling strategies in the marine environment.

However, traditional methods of distinguishing individuals, by some form of physical marking, often rely on capture and handling which may affect aspects of normal behavior. Photographic identification has been used as a less-invasive alternative, but limitations in both manual and computer-automated recognition of individuals are particularly problematic for smaller taxa (<500 g). In this study, we explored the use of photographic identification for individuals of a free-ranging, small terrestrial reptile using (a) independent observers, and (b) automated matching with the Interactive Individual Identification System (I super(3)S Pattern) computer algorithm. We tested the technique on individuals of an Australian skink in the Egernia group, Slater's skink Liopholis slateri, whose natural history and varied scale markings make it a potentially suitable candidate for photo-identification. From 'photographic captures' of skink head profiles, we designed a multi-choice key based on alternate character states and tested the abilities of observers - with or without experience in wildlife survey - to identify individuals using categorized test photos. We also used the I super(3)S Pattern algorithm to match the same set of test photos against a database of 30 individuals. Experienced observers identified a significantly higher proportion of photos correctly (74%) than those with no experience (63%) while the I super(3)S software correctly matched 67% as the first ranked match and 83% of images in the top five ranks. This study is one of the first to investigate photo identification with a free-ranging small vertebrate. The method demonstrated here has the potential to be applied to the developing field of camera-traps for wildlife survey and thus a wide range of survey and monitoring applications. Photographic identification has been used as a less-invasive means of recognizing individuals compared with traditional methods of marking. However, limitations in both manual and computer-automated photo-identification methods are particularly problematic for smaller taxa (<500 g). In this study, we explored the application of the technique to individuals of a free-ranging, small terrestrial reptile.

To demonstrate the significance of omitting soil redistribution in SOC accounting, sequestration and emissions, we modified the SOC cycling scheme RothC (ref. ) to include soil erosion. Net SOC fluxes with and without soil erosion for Australian long-term trial sites were established and estimates made across Australia and other global regions based on a validated relation with catchment-scale soil erosion. Assuming that soil erosion is omitted from previous estimates of net C flux, we found that SOC erosion is incorrectly attributed to respiration. On this basis, the Australian National Greenhouse Gas inventory overestimated the net C flux from cropland by up to 40% and the potential (100 year) C sink is overestimated by up to 17%. We estimated global terrestrial SOC erosion to be 0.3-1.0PgCyr super(-1) indicating an uncertainty of -18 to -27% globally and +35 to -82% regionally relative to the long-term (2000-2010) terrestrial C flux of several LSMs. Including soil erosion in LSMs should reduce uncertainty in SOC flux estimates with implications for CO sub(2) emissions, mitigation and adaptation strategies and interpretations of trends and variability in global ecosystems.

Together with transmitting plant viruses, aphids are capable of inflicting severe crop production losses. They also excrete honeydew that favours the growth of sooty mold which reduces the quality of vegetables and fruits and hence their market values. Rapid and accurate identification of aphids to the species level is a critical component in effective pest management and plant quarantine systems. Even though morphological taxonomy has made a tremendous impact on species-level identifications, polymorphism, morphological plasticity and immature stages are among the many challenges to accurate identification. In addition, their small size, presence of cryptic species and damaged specimens dictate the need for a strategy that will ensure timely and accurate identification. In this study, polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP)-based on mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene and DNA barcoding were applied to identify different aphid species collected from different agro-ecological zones of Kenya. Three restriction enzymes RsaI, AluI and Hinf1 produced patterns that allowed unambiguous identification of the species except Aphis craccivora and Aphis fabae. Analyses of the barcode region indicated intraspecific and interspecific sequence divergences of 0.08 and 6.63%, respectively. DNA barcoding identified all species, including the morphologically indistinguishable A. craccivora and A. fabae and separated two subspecies of A. fabae. Based on these results, both PCR-RFLPs and DNA barcoding could provide quick and accurate tools for identification of aphid species within Aphididae subsequently aiding in effective pest management programmes and enhance plant quarantine systems.

Here, we studied the internal colonization of Arabidopsis thaliana tissues by G. diazotrophicus and analyzed its effects on physiology, growth, and activation of plant immune system during such association. A. thaliana seedlings were inoculated with G. diazotrophicus and grown in substrate for 50 days. Effects on plant growth were estimated by quantifying number of leaves, leaf area, and fresh and dry weight. Endophytic bacterial population was determined by colony-forming unit (CFU), and its location in plant tissues was assayed by epifluorescence microscopy of red fluorescent protein-labeled bacterium. Whole canopy gas exchange (photosynthesis and transpiration) was determined using a portable photosynthesis system. G. diazotrophicus efficiently promoted A. thaliana plant growth at 50 days after inoculation. Inoculated plants showed higher whole canopy photosynthesis, lower whole plant transpiration, and increased water-use efficiency. The bacterium colonized preferentially root xylem. The inoculation of plants defective in systemic acquired resistance (SAR)-associated defense revealed that plant immune system plays an important role during the early association stages. G. diazotrophicus endophytically colonizes A. thaliana roots, promotes plant growth, and increases whole canopy photosynthesis. Our results indicate that A. thaliana is useful for molecular studies of the mechanisms involved in the interaction between plants and PGPB, especially those involving G. diazotrophicus.

AN - 1761468854; 26821660 AB - Inheritance of resistance to phosphine fumigant was investigated in three field-collected strains of rusty grain beetle, Cryptolestes ferrugineus, Susceptible (S-strain), Weakly Resistant (Weak-R) and Strongly Resistant (Strong-R). The strains were purified for susceptibility, weak resistance and strong resistance to phosphine, respectively, to ensure homozygosity of resistance genotype. Crosses were established between S-strain×Weak-R, S-strain×Strong-R and Weak-R×Strong-R, and the dose mortality responses to phosphine of these strains and their F1, F2 and F1-backcross progeny were obtained. The fumigations were undertaken at 25°C and 55% RH for 72h. Weak-R and Strong-R showed resistance factors of 6.3× and 505× compared with S-strain at the LC50. Both weak and strong resistances were expressed as incompletely recessive with degrees of dominance of -0.48 and -0.43 at the LC50, respectively. Responses of F2 and F1-backcross progeny indicated the existence of one major gene in Weak-R, and at least two major genes in Strong-R, one of which was allelic with the major factor in Weak-R. Phenotypic variance analyses also estimated that the number of independently segregating genes conferring weak resistance was 1 (nE=0.89) whereas there were two genes controlling strong resistance (nE=1.2). The second gene, unique to Strong-R, interacted synergistically with the first gene to confer a very high level of resistance (~80×). Neither of the two major resistance genes was sex linked. Despite the similarity of the genetics of resistance to that previously observed in other pest species, a significant proportion (~15 to 30%) of F1 individuals survived at phosphine concentrations higher than predicted. Thus it is likely that additional dominant heritable factors, present in some individuals in the population, also influenced the resistance phenotype. Our results will help in understanding the process of selection for phosphine resistance in the field which will inform resistance management strategies. In addition, this information will provide a basis for the identification of the resistance genes. Crown Copyright © 2015. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

AN - 1760876155; 26697927 AB - The electrochemical behaviour of highly toxic hydrogen chloride (HCl) gas has been investigated in six room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) containing imidazolium/pyrrolidinium cations and range of anions on a Pt microelectrode using cyclic voltammetry (CV). HCl gas exists in a dissociated form of H(+) and [HCl2](-) in RTILs. A peak corresponding to the oxidation of [HCl2](-) was observed, resulting in the formation of Cl2 and H(+). These species were reversibly reduced to H2 and Cl(-), respectively, on the cathodic CV scan. The H(+) reduction peak is also present initially when scanned only in the cathodic direction. In the RTILs with a tetrafluoroborate or hexafluorophosphate anion, CVs indicated a reaction of the RTIL with the analyte/electrogenerated products, suggesting that these RTILs might not be suitable solvents for the detection of HCl gas. This was supported by NMR spectroscopy experiments, which showed that the hexafluorophosphate ionic liquid underwent structural changes after HCl gas electrochemical experiments. The analytical utility was then studied in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([C2mim][NTf2]) by utilising both peaks (oxidation of [HCl2](-) and reduction of protons) and linear calibration graphs for current vs. concentration for the two processes were obtained. The reactive behaviour of some ionic liquids clearly shows that the choice of the ionic liquid is very important if employing RTILs as solvents for HCl gas detection.

State measures that would deny or provide access to public institutions of higher education, in-state tuition, and financial aid to unauthorized aliens have been challenged, most commonly through the Equal Protection and Supremacy Clauses of the US Constitution.

Instead, starting in the 1960s, the federal government began establishing federal juvenile justice entities and grant programs in order to influence the states' juvenile justice systems. Eligibility for some of these grant programs is tied to certain mandates that the states must adhere to in order to receive federal funding. This report provides a brief overview of the juvenile justice grant programs and the overall appropriation administered by the Department of Justice's (DOJ's) Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP).

Approval by Congress (through implementing legislation) is required before TPP can enter into force. If the US and the other 11 governments ratify the deal, TPP would materially increase the overseas markets to which US agricultural products would have preferential access. Exports account for around one-fifth of US farm production, so foreign sales provide material support to commodity prices and farm income. Tables, Figures.

A recent hearing on the private elements of big data in agriculture suggests that Congress too is interested in potential opportunities and challenges big data may hold. Most see big data in agriculture at the end use point, where farmers use precision tools to potentially create positive results like increased yields, reduced inputs, or greater sustainability, but this is just one aspect. From a policy perspective, issues related to big data involve collection, management, and use. Tables.

Water quality problems are diverse, ranging from pollution runoff from farms and ranches, city streets, and other diffuse or 'nonpoint' sources, to toxic substances discharged from factories and sewage treatment plants. There is little agreement about what solutions are needed, whether legislation is required to address the nation's remaining water pollution problems, or whether regulatory authorities should be reduced.

Neoproterozoic magmatic history of the Yenisey Ridge reflects the earliest stages of the tectonic evolution of this belt. A number of Neoproterozoic magmatic events that associate with the Yenisey Ridge formation were determined, based on the geological, geochronological, geochemical and paleomagnetic data. Formation of the Yenisey Ridge started with the process of oblique collision between the Central Angara terrane, the largest terrane within the Yenisey Ridge, and Siberia Craton, marked by emplacement of the earliest collisional granites at 760-720 Ma [1]. Importantly, the Central Angara terrane was at a considerable distance (> 1000 km) from Siberia, based on paleomagnetic measurements from the 880-860 Ma granitoids [2]. The subsequent tectonic processes and accompanying magmatic events in the Yenisey Ridge are associated with evolution of subduction zone, formed at the Siberian margin. Subduction stage of 711-624 Ma recorded simultaneous magmatism within the island arc and the active continental margin of Siberia [1, 3]. The island arc magmatism included volcanics of differentiated magmatic series and plagiogranites from the Priyenisei fault zone that recorded the island arc accretion to the western margin of the Siberian continent. Magmatism at the active continental margin is associated with the emplacement of nepheline and alkaline syenites, carbonatites, Nb-enriched granites and diabase at the Tatarka-Ishimba fault zone, located within the Central Angara terrane and elongated along the western Siberian margin. The alkali-enriched magmatism along the Tatarka-Ishimba fault zone provided a significant input of heat and enriched mantle components (e.g., Nb, Ta). Adakitic and plagiogranitic dikes and small bodies of gabbro-anorthosite, found within the Nb-enriched metabasites of Zimovey massif, are likely to represent another subduction stage at 576-546 Ma. Zimovey massif was formed at the Siberia continental margin within the southern part of the Tatarka-Ishimba fault zone. Paleomagnetic pole, calculated for small magmatic bodies from Zimovey massif, is in agreement with the apparent polar wander path (APWP) of Siberia at the corresponding Neoproterozoic time interval [4]. Furthermore, paleomagnetic data support formation of the Zimovey massif within the uniform paleosubduction system, continued to the Altai-Sayan folded area. This paleosubduction system is located to the southwest of the Yenisey Ridge and is characterized by similar magmatic associations. Our study showed that the formation of the Central Asian fold belt began in the northwestern (in modern coordinates) segment of the Yenisey Ridge, about 760 Ma, where the magmatic events continued until the end of the Neoproterozoic almost without intermission. These processes took place with both remelting of the continental crust material and with additional supply of mantle component since 711 Ma.

Here we present in-situ zircon U-Pb-Hf-O isotopic and whole-rock geochemical data for meta-igneous rocks from the Korla Complex, northern Tarim Craton, NW China. SHRIMP and/or LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating indicates that two orthogneisses and an amphibolite crystallized at approximately 2.71 - 2.74 Ga and were affected by at least two metamorphic events at approximately 2.0 - 1.8 Ga and 0.8 - 0.6 Ga, respectively. These are the oldest rocks with reliable crystallization ages so far identified in the northern Tarim Craton. These rocks exhibit heterogeneous zircon Hf isotopic compositions, with the most radiogenic analyses (average eHf(t) = +7.4, n =8) plotting on the depleted mantle evolution array and the most unradiogenic eHf(t) extending down to -5.6. This implies that both approximately 2.7 Ga depleted mantle and ancient continental crust at least as old as 3.4 - 3.5 Ga contributed to the magma source, a conclusion supported by zircon O isotopic data and Hf-O isotopic modeling of the orthogneisses. Available zircon U-Pb ages and Hf isotopic data show that two important Neoarchean magmatic events occurred at 2.71 and 2.55 Ga in northern Tarim, and that both events involved synchronous crustal growth and reworking. This observation suggests that the apparent peaks of zircon Hf crustal model ages of these rocks do not represent the time of crustal growth but are artifacts of magma mixing. Geochemical data show that the parent mafic magmas of the amphibolites follow two distinct evolution trends: a Fenner trend of extreme Fe-Ti enrichment (Group I) and a typical tholeiitic trend with Fe-Ti enrichment followed by Fe-Ti depletion (Group II). This was probably controlled by the fractionation of Fe-Ti oxides, which was in turn controlled by magma oxygen fugacity. The orthogneisses follow the second trend and can be interpreted as the products of assimilation and fractional crystallization of the Group II magmas. Trace element systematics indicate that the parent magma of Group I amphibolites resembled Nb-enriched or high-Nb arc basalts, whereas the Group II amphibolites were probably derived from tholeiitic arc basalts. Such a rock assemblage is similar to the island arc volcanic association found in approximately 2.7 Ga greenstone belts in other cratons and indicates subduction of young and hot oceanic crust under an ancient continental block, which was probably an important process in the growth and differentiation of continental crust in the Archean.

Geochemical maps are the principal means of presenting the spatial distribution of chemical elements and compounds in the aforementioned sample media. Geochemical mapping is performed at different sample densities and map scales depending on the objectives of the project, and the end product is always the interpretation of the spatial variation of chemical elements and compounds. In global- or continental-scale geochemical mapping surveys, the interest is the delineation of large-scale patterns, and the sampling density used in different projects varies from 1 sample site/1600 km2 in the North American Soil Geochemical Landscapes Project of the United States of America [1] to 1 sample site/4600 km2 in the Geochemical Atlas of Europe [2], to 1 sample site/5200 km2 in the National Geochemical Survey of Australia [3], and to 1 sample site/8300 km2 in the Environmental Geochemical Monitoring Network of China [4]. In regional-scale geochemical mapping surveys, the objective is to delineate regional-scale patterns, and the sampling density varies from 1 to 2 samples/km2 to 1 sample/10-25 km2. In local-scale geochemical surveys the sample density increases considerably, i.e., from 5 samples/km2 to thousands of samples/km2. However, the sampling density in some local-scale projects does not adhere to any strict rules, as the decision depends on the objectives of the project and available funds. The 3rd Arthur Darnley Symposium is devoted to "Mapping the geochemistry of the Earth's surface at global to local scales". This is to emphasise the importance of scale in geochemical mapping. Who is Arthur G. Darnley? Arthur was the first chairperson of two successful IGCP projects, 259 International Geochemical Mapping and 360 Global Geochemical Baselines. The final report of IGCP 259 [5], published in 1995, was the most successful ever published by UNESCO. Although the report is concerned with global-scale geochemical mapping, it has illustrations showing the spatial distribution of a chemical element at different scales, from a mineral grain to a continent. We encourage you to study it [5]. The IUGS/IAGC Task Group on Global Geochemical Baselines decided from 2008 to honour Arthur for his foresight in establishing global-scale geochemistry with a symposium every four years at the International Geological Congress.

These data enable us to extend the previous EPICA Dome C (EDC) records of trace elements and PGEs covering the past 270 kyr [2, 3, 4], which corresponds to the last two climatic cycles. The records show well defined variations of trace element concentrations in relation to climate conditions with lower values during the interglacial periods and much higher values during the coldest periods of the last eight climatic cycles. Crustal enriched elements show well defined variations in concentrations in relation to climatic conditions with lower values during the interglacial periods and much increased values by about 10 times during the glacial periods. On the other hand, PGEs show a less differences between their concentrations for different climatic conditions. Mean concentrations of Ir and Pt for the glacial periods were approximately two times higher than their mean concentrations for the interglacial periods. Concentration ratios (Ir/Pt) and crustal enrichment factors (EFc) of Ir and Pt indicate that atmospheric PGE in Antarctica may be originated dominantly from non-crustal sources, and the extent of their contributions were likely regulated by the climatic conditions during the investigated time period.

It is also believed by some that the antipodal superplumes in the present-day lower mantle could have been a stable feature since the Earth's early history. However, the intensity of plume activity during the Earth's history appears to suggest a coupling in time and space with the supercontinent cycle. The positions of the present-day antipodal Pacific and African superplumes align with the position of the supercontinent Pangea before it broke up, and global large igneous province (LIP) record indicates that global plume activity intensified soon after Pangea assembly and peaked during its breakup. A similar supercontinent-supercontinent coupling has been argued for the time of the Late Precambrian supercontinent Rodinia, and the sub-Rodinia superplume appears to have travelled together with the supercontinent from higher latitude to the paleoequator through true polar wander event(s). It has thus been proposed that circum-supercontinent subduction of cold slabs to the lower mantle could be the driver for the formation of large antipodal domes of hot and dense lower mantle (LLSVPs), or superplumes, that are aligned with the position of the respective supercontinent, and a complete disassemble of the supercontinent may lead to the disappearance of such a global circular subduction system, therefore the weakening or possibly even disappearance of such an antipodal superplume system [1]. In addition, the centrifugal force of the Earth's spinning would bring such an antipodal superplume system (along with the coupled plate system) to equatorial positions through true polar wander events. Geodynamic modelling suggests that such a coupled plate-plume system is viable. In addition, similar yet much smaller circular subduction systems could lead to the formation of so-called "lone plumes" that are not related to LLSVPs or superplumes, such as the late Cenozoic Hainan plume that formed within the circum-Pacific mantle downwelling zone [2].

Accessory detrital phases, hosted by a variety of sediments, can be used as tracers to address the sediment provenance, and find links between sediment deposition, crustal exhumation and erosion. In a complex regional study under the SIEF Distal Footprint Project, we present a new approach to sedimentary provenance analysis, through use of the Laser Ablation Split Stream-ICPMS (LASS-ICPMS) technique, that integrates age information and trace element geochemistry [3]. Initial stages of the study involved detailed core logging to assess facies relationships, depositional environment and interpret depositional processes. Samples for geochemical analysis were selected from the core and detrital zircon and titanite were extracted using SELFRAG electro-pulse disaggregation, NaPT heavy liquids and magnetic separation techniques. Mineral grains were characterised using the scanning electron microscope by atomic number contrast imaging and cathodoluminescence (CL). These data were used to inform the selection of specific sites for LASS-ICPMS. The U-Pb ages and trace element data were obtained by LASS-ICPMS at the University of Santa Barbara, and link the sediments with many sources. The trace element compositions indicate that the host rocks of the detrital phases include granite, dolerite and some syenite. These units were probably exhumed and eroded during multiple tectonic reactivations and were then reworked and transported until deposition within the sequence. The most significant age populations suggest a younger depositional age for these sediments and correspond to the latest tectonic events in the region: the Mangaroon Orogeny of 1680-1620 Ma, the 1280-1250 Ma Mutherbukin Tectonic Event and the 1030-955 Ma Edmundian Orogeny [2].

Uptake and application of the concept is growing as its value in regional exploration targeting is increasingly recognised. The initial concept has seen many modifications and variations, one version of which is currently used in mineral potential assessments by Geoscience Australia, the successor to AGSO. For the practical purpose of mapping prospectivity at regional and continental scales a four-component mineral system scheme has been developed that focuses on the most critical and mappable factors. These involve: (i) sources of energy, (ii) architecture of fluid or magma pathways, (iii) sources of ore metals, and (iv) gradients in ore depositional physico-chemical parameters. The modified mineral systems scheme also explicitly incorporates the concept of an ore-forming time window [2]. The notion here is that only during restricted time periods did all the essential ore-forming processes operate at particular locations to form major ore deposits. Most knowledge-driven and data-driven GIS-based assessments of mineral potential have been undertaken at regional scales and applied to hydrothermal systems, including previous Geoscience Australia studies of uranium and iron-oxide copper gold (IOCG) mineral potential. Here we describe a continental scale knowledge-driven assessment of a magmatic ore system, namely tholeiitic intrusion-hosted nickel-copper-platinum-group element (Ni-Cu-PGE) mineral systems [3]. Temporal constraints were also included using a new continental dataset documenting the spatial distribution through time of Australia's mafic and ultramafic magmatic events [4]. Conceptual and mappable criteria representing each of the four mineral system components were developed, based on a conceptual mineral system model. The GIS-based modelling involved 13 principal geological, geophysical and geochemical datasets and derivatives that are proxies for the conceptual and mappable criteria. Uncertainties were incorporated using fuzzy-logic-based criteria. The final map of prospectivity (Figure 1) combines all four mineral system components, which contributed equally to honour the principle that all mineral system components are needed for ore formation. The modelling successfully predicted the regions within which the few known intrusion-hosted Ni-Cu-PGE deposits are located (Figure 1), and importantly also highlights many 'greenfields' regions worthy of follow-up by exploration companies.

As temperatures and CO2 levels rose, a cascading series of warming-related environmental effects, including expanding shelf and oceanic anoxia, reduced ocean circulation, elevated weathering rates and nutrient influx, have been invoked as triggering marine ecosystem collapse and controlling the pace and pattern of ecosystem recovery. Significant disruptions to the carbon cycle during this critical interval have been inferred from large fluctuations in the carbon isotope record, but the causes of these fluctuations are debated. Favored models related to volcanic out-gassing from STLIP and/or injection of large amounts of isotopically light methane do not fully explain the carbon isotopic records. Other possible explanations include elevated microbial respiration rates, reduction of organic carbon burial, ocean anoxia and ocean stratification/turnover, and modeling has supported a positive feedback with temperature. The timing, patterns and magnitude of ecological recovery in the marine and terrestrial realm during the Early Triassic vary with depositional environment, paleolatitude and region. Local environmental factors, such as the intensity and duration of shelf anoxia, seem to have a direct control over the patterns of recovery in some locations. Most studies have, however, focused on the paleotropics, especially of the Paleotethys Ocean, and there is a demonstrable bias in our understanding of the ecological and environmental changes that occurred in extra-tropical regions during the Early Triassic. The geological record is an archive of natural experimental data recording ecosystem-level responses to global warming over long timescales. Fossil data indicate that the northern extra-tropical regions were key biodiversity hotspots during the Early Triassic hothouse, yet there are no detailed biogeochemical records spanning the entire hothouse interval at these paleolatitudes. Using a multidisciplinary suite of proxy data from high-resolution samples from Spitsbergen, Svalbard, this study provides the first comprehensive documentation of changes in the major biogeochemical cycles spanning the Early Triassic from the northern mid-paleolatitudes. Combining biomarker and compound specific isotope analyses with sedimentology, paleontology and bulk isotope geochemistry (?13Ccarbonate, ?13Corg, ?34S, ?Dkerogen, ?34Stotal sulfur, ?34Spyrite) enables fundamental new insights into the critical environmental changes that have been postulated to have directly affected the patterns and processes of post-extinction recovery in marine ecosystems.

Most of the ore bodies that make up this known endowment have been discovered in outcropping or near outcropping regions, which comprise around 20-30% of the Australian continent. The remaining regions that lie under the 70-80% cover represent an enormous potential opportunity for the discovery of new world-class deposits. Exploring beneath this vast area requires a methodology and suite of datasets that permit the mineral explorer to quickly and easily predict the location of favourable regions/camps that might host ore bodies. In these under cover and greenfield regions, the exploration process is one of successive area/volume reduction from the largest continental scale through province and district scales to the deposit scale. There is an empirical association between giant mineral deposits and 'big' structures with broad alteration systems, which means mapping the large-scale features of the continent should vector to favourable regions under cover. At the giant Olympic Dam IOCG deposit, for example, first-order faults and alteration are mapped deep in the crust and upper mantle as anomalous density, seismic character, conductivity and susceptibility features that are evident on regional and national datasets. Indeed, this world-class deposit was discovered beneath barren cover rocks >300 m thick on the basis of a mineral system model and interpretation of continental-scale gravity/magnetic datasets. Geoscience Australia aims to attract exploration investment by providing pre-competitive data to reduce risk for industry, including the provision of 3D maps and the underlying data across Australia. We are working towards an Australian Architecture Reference Model (AusARM), which seeks to integrate disparate datasets and 3D models, and make them accessible through Geoscience Australia's EarthSci 3D viewer (https://github.com/GeoscienceAustralia/earthsci). Current e?orts in building AusARM are focused on compiling and updating major surfaces through, and petrophysical properties of, the Australian lithosphere with the aim not only to constrain the present lithospheric architecture but also its temporal evolution. The 3D surfaces include major basin boundaries, major crustal-scale faults derived from deep re?ection seismic pro?les and ever-growing potential ?eld data, the maximum base of magnetisation, the Moho and the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary. Volumetrically, the intention is to provide a national coverage of velocity, density and conductivity. In addition there is an ongoing programme of national chronostratigraphic solid geology, metamorphic and radioactive isotope mapping along with selected lithological compilations that place important constraints on the temporal evolution of the lithospheric architecture. Numerous higher resolution regional, camp and deposit scale 3D geological maps for many of Australia's fertile terranes have been integrated into the national 3D datasets. Individually the above datasets are valuable, yet the integration of these datasets allows their limitations and uncertainty to be identi?ed. Such integration is revealing of fundamental Earth processes and associated mineral system evolution such as: national predictions of magmatic Ni-Cu mineralisation, orogenic gold prospectivity within the Yilgarn Craton, metasomatised mantle distribution in Victoria with its potential association with gold, and the temporal lithospheric thickness variations beneath the Canning Basin. This 4D understanding across scale will aid the exploration decision-making process in under cover and greenfield regions in Australia and lead to new mineral and energy discovery.

Isochemical P-T phase diagrams based on the average composition of H, L and LL chondrite falls (Fig. 1) and contoured for the composition and abundance of olivine, ortho- and clinopyroxene, plagioclase and chromite provide a good match with values measured in so-called equilibrated (petrologic type 4-6) samples. Some compositional variables, in particular Al in orthopyroxene and Na in clinopyroxene, exhibit a strong pressure dependence when considered over a range of several kilobars, providing a means of recognising meteorites derived from the cores of asteroids with radii of several hundred kilometres, if such bodies existed at that time. At the low pressures (<1 kbar) that typified thermal metamorphism, several compositional variables are good thermometers. Although those based on Fe-Mg exchange are likely to have been reset during slow cooling, those based on coupled substitution, in particular Ca and Al in orthopyroxene and Na in clinopyroxene, are less susceptible to retrograde diffusion and are potentially more faithful recorders of peak conditions. The intersection of isopleths of these variables may allow pressures to be quantified, even at low P, permitting constraints on the minimum size of parent asteroid bodies. The phase diagrams predict the onset of partial melting at 1050-1100 degrees C by incongruent reactions consuming plagioclase, clinopyroxene and orthopyroxene, whose compositions change abruptly as melting proceeds. These predictions match natural observations well and support the view that type 7 chondrites represent a suprasolidus continuation of the established petrologic types at the extremes of thermal metamorphism. The results suggest phase equilibria modelling has potential as a powerful quantitative tool in investigating key processes in the early evolution of the solar system, including progressive oxidation during metamorphism, the degree of melting and melt loss or accumulation required to produce the spectrum of differentiated meteorites, and whether the onion shell or rubble pile models best explain the metamorphic evolution of asteroid parent bodies.

Diffusion magnetic resonance is a physical technique that has been widely used for the characterisation of biological systems as well as hydrogels. In this work, we applied diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to hydrogel-based cultures of human ovarian cancer cells. Methods:Diffusion-weighted spin-echo MRI measurements were used to obtain spatially-resolved maps of apparent diffusivities for hydrogel samples with different compositions, cell loads and drug (Taxol) treatment regimes. The samples were then characterised using their diffusivity histograms, mean diffusivities and the respective standard deviations, and pairwise Mann-Whitney tests. The elastic moduli of the samples were determined using mechanical compression testing. Results:The mean apparent diffusivity of the hydrogels was sensitive to the polymer content, cell load and Taxol treatment. For a given sample composition, the mean apparent diffusivity and the elastic modulus of the hydrogels exhibited a negative correlation. Conclusions:Diffusivity of hydrogel-based cancer cell culture constructs is sensitive to both cell proliferation and Taxol treatment. This suggests that diffusion-weighted imaging is a promising technique for non-invasive monitoring of cancer cell growth in hydrogel-based, cellularly-sparse 3D cell cultures. The negative correlation between mean apparent diffusivity and elastic modulus suggests that the diffusion coefficient is indicative of the average density of the physical microenvironment within the hydrogel construct.

A teacher's capacity to mobilise resources to design lessons is known as his or her pedagogical design capacity. This study analyses shifts in the pedagogical design capacity of four teachers as they transition from lesson planning to lesson implementation in the classroom. Results indicate that teachers' pedagogical design capacities are reflected differently from the time of lesson planning to the time of instructional delivery, with a shift toward less curricular reliance during implementation. Findings indicate that teachers would benefit from support to know how to make changes, while teaching in ways that will best develop students' mathematical thinking. Additional work focusing on the role of context as related to pedagogical design capacity, would provide further insight for understanding teachers' abilities to use resources for mathematics instruction.

This case study examines how Mathematics Studio provided opportunities for a team of U.S. middle school teachers to learn about these practices and ways to promote them in the classroom. Findings demonstrate how CGJ readings and focused discussions, coupled with repeated cycles of collaborative lesson planning, observation and debrief, supported the development of teacher knowledge, professional community, and teaching resources. In addition, this paper explores the role school leadership played in facilitating Math Studio to ensure these learning opportunities were realised. Documenting how Math Studio features and participants contributed to teachers' ability to implement CGJ focused lessons not only provides insights into the difficulties teachers have shifting instruction, but also adds to our understanding of school-embedded professional development more generally.

Research literature for novice mathematics school teachers was also reviewed to document their experiences transitioning from a teacher preparation program into a school teaching position. Similar transitioning experiences were found across both groups using the theoretical framework of border crossings. Findings showed that novice mathematics teacher educators needed more teaching experiences during their doctoral preparation programs as well as more mentoring during their initial years as professors. These findings are consistent with research findings on the experiences of novice K-12 mathematics teachers. The article then discusses how these findings impact the teaching and learning of mathematics across K-12 and university settings and offers suggestions for improving the transition for mathematics teacher educators into their academic roles as novice professors.

Participants reported on what they noticed from their past learning experiences as students, as well as their current field experiences as student teachers. Their reflective critique was created within loosely structured themes. Results showed that participants mainly focused on the "teacher" factor while their attention to the "student" factor was weak. In addition, the participants tended to avoid making critical reflections when they were in the field compared to their reflections on previous learning experiences. It would be appropriate to consider more structured observation/reflection activities to support pre-service teachers' development of the full range of teaching/learning mathematics.

The main research question was concerned with how preservice mathematics teachers perceive what constitutes the practice of a professional community of mathematics teachers. A qualitative cross-sectional study was designed. Data collection tools consisted of face-to-face interviews and journals written by participants. Data was analysed using three modes of belonging in communities of practice framework: engagement, imagination and alignment. Findings indicated that participants had valuable observations with regard to professional relationships among mathematics teachers such as openness to exchange of ideas and collaboration. Data also revealed how preservice teachers align themselves with norms and values of university and school cultures. In most cases, preservice teachers endorsed norms of teacher education programs; e.g., they were critical about the traditional methods and the way technology was used in the partnership school. Their beliefs about the importance of confidence, strong subject knowledge and formative assessment were reinforced as a result of their observations in the partnership school.

The primary research questions focused on how 16 elementary teachers described their professional growth after being involved in lesson study in a professional learning community with other teachers and university professors and how they described the impact the program had on their teaching of mathematics. Case study methodology provided the tools for researchers to study complex phenomena within a professional learning community setting. Collected data included interviews of selected teachers focused on the lesson study process, teacher journal reflections, and recordings of individual teacher discussions of video taped segments of their teaching. Data indicated the participants valued collaboration within the community of learners and a change in practice through a focus on student discourse, student thinking, and questioning strategies. The majority of teachers demonstrated the change in practice; however, not all teachers demonstrated such growth.

AN - 1826541668; EJ1106797 AB - At a recent workshop in the ACARA [Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority] offices in Sydney, teachers of STEM gathered to reflect on implementations of integrated STEM projects within their schools. The projects discussed illustrated a range of interpretive stances and practical considerations--presented variously as constraints, advantages or weaknesses, according to each school's considered perspective. When those participants who had identified themselves as "mathematics teachers" gathered in a meeting to reflect on the role of mathematics in STEM, the tone of conversation (which had been broadly celebratory of STEM in general gatherings) refined to a more focussed set of concerns, centred on the potential benefits and lurking dangers inherent in the promotion of STEM. In this article, the author draws on her reflections of that meeting, and on her own experiences teaching mathematics and STEM, to present a selection of questions and attitudes by way of a call to fellow mathematics teachers not merely to engage in debates, but rather, to drive conversations and influence the formation of the STEM concept in their educational environments.

Additional conditions were added to the loci: ellipse, parabola and circle, which result in the emergence of new loci, similar in form to the original loci. The mathematical relation between the parameters of the original and new loci was found by the learners. A mathematical explanation for the general case, using the "surprising" results obtained in the investigative tasks, is presented. Integrating DGS in mathematics instruction fosters an improved teaching and learning process.

Indeed, emerging online data sources give citizens access to an enormous amount of numerical information that provides new sorts of evidence used to influence public opinion. In this new environment, two trends have had a significant impact on our increasingly data-driven society: 1) the increasing use of large-scale databases within the open data movement, and 2) the growing use of big data. The open data movement supports the availability of high quality data sets collected by national statistics offices and non-government organisations for a specific purpose. The open data movement has had significant success in recent years in persuading major data providers, and national statistics offices, (for example, the Australian Bureau of Statistics [ABS]) to give citizens access to huge databases in order to create new variables, and explore new relationships. This new access to data is having a profound impact on teaching statistics and modernising curricula to prepare students for a world filled with open and big data, or the so-called "data deluge". However, competent use of large-scale data predominantly requires comprehension of data tables, which are routinely used in daily life and in the workplace to communicate information about large data sets. This article discusses how to implement a framework for helping students develop better ability to interpret large-scale data tables, in particular by using strategies that make comparisons between and within the categories of data and by drawing inferences about data within its context while making any reference to the contextual factors.

The paper also focuses on the concept of contradiction, and a general model for this method of proof is offered. The introduction of mathematical proof in the classroom remains a formidable challenge to students given that, at this stage of their schooling, they are used to manipulating symbols through sequential steps. There is a consensus that learners do find indirect types of proof quite difficult and do struggle with the conceptual and technical aspects of indirect proofs. As Epp (1998, p. 711) states, "Students find proof by contradiction considerably harder to master than direct proof". Indeed, learners may struggle with understanding the concept of indirect proofs in general and of proof by contradiction in particular. To address this issue further, and for learning purposes, proof by contradiction may be considered in conjunction with other methods and didactic tools, e.g., counterexamples or the pigeon-hole principle. But, that is a topic for another investigation.

In the limited time that is available, many students give up the climb, impede others, fall off the trunk, or fail to climb the tree sufficiently well. In the case of integration, the solid trunk seems to be heavily laden with algebraic manipulation. Kennedy suggested that technology might provide help in the form of ladders to climb the tree in other ways. Just as the use of technology allowed us to bypass the numerical requirements to calculate square roots (and other aspects of basic mathematics), it now seems time to look carefully at the use of computer algebra to reconsider how much of the algebraic trunk is really needed to help students climb the tree, look around and start to explore the branches of the tree that look interesting to them.

Only 30% of mathematics students at university level in Australia are female. Proofs are made up of words and mathematical symbols. One can assume the words would assist understanding but this is not how mathematics students think necessarily, particularly perhaps if English is not their first language. This article discusses proofs, including their origin and structure.

For middle school students, engineering activities that relate to real-world problems provide suitable CBL contexts for acquiring conceptual scientific and mathematical understanding. CBL can be implemented in mathematics education through the teaching strategies associated with Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) (Stephan, 2009). In the activity presented herein students are tasked with designing a vehicle with sufficient safety features to protect its passenger (the egg). These safety features are tested by releasing the car at the top of an incline ramp, the base of which is up against a wall to simulate a "crash test" scenario. Utilisation of this vehicle engineering context and the engineering design process (EDP) allows students to develop concrete understandings of the relationship between angles, forces and speed before these concepts are abstracted to general mathematical relationships. This activity has been implemented extensively with school groups in Southern Tasmania. It introduces students to engineering as a mechanism for gaining a real-world understanding of key mathematical concepts, within the familiar context of vehicle safety.

While the "Australian Curriculum: Mathematics" (2014) highlights understanding, fluency, problem-solving, and reasoning, the National Research Council (2001) describes five strands of mathematical proficiency, with the additional one being productive disposition. The activities within this article present a way to encourage students to see themselves as creators and interpreters of mathematical concepts, thus developing a strong productive disposition toward mathematics while still addressing required content. The content covered by these activities fits well with 4th and 5th grade, and with some extensions, up to 8th grade. Table 1 shows some of the content standards addressed by the activities presented in this article. In particular, the Year 4 level proficiency strands of understanding and fluency can be emphasised through the symmetrical shapes that are discovered within licence plates, as well as creating shapes and transformations in the collected and recorded data.

Thus, the life table contains some essential features of the health of a population. Probability is often regarded as a difficult branch of mathematics. Life tables provide an interesting approach to introducing concepts in probability. Concepts such as complementary events and conditional probability become easy to understand when presented in the context of a life table. Furthermore, in the authors' experience, they can generate useful class discussion as students begin to link the mathematics to life, and death, in society. This article presents 12 problems that illustrate how life tables can be used to explain ideas in probability theory, followed by detailed solutions and comments.

The three level framework is designed for: (1) making thinking explicit, (2) exploring each other's solutions, and (3) developing new mathematical insights. In each level of the discussion, students are connecting prior knowledge to new knowledge and making new mathematical connections. The results from the whole class discussion is to develop "big mathematical ideas" that students can transfer to other problems and situations. JF - Australian Mathematics Teacher AU - Moss, Diana L.

After all, is it better if it is more economical? Or is it better if it is more elegant? Moreover, taking shortcuts does not always lead to a shorter solution. Consider the simple example of a rectangle modified so as to preserve its area. In this article, the authors put forward two methods for investigating this simple example. The first method that links a rectangle to another with the same area, and to a square of the same area. The second method links the two rectangles directly by way of what the authors refer to as "mathematical elegance". The authors conclude by outlining the parameters associated with the constructions, as well as comparing the space required for the implementation of these different pathways, in order to make the selection process a little easier.

To do so, students should recognise numerical structures and be able to change a problem to an equivalent problem. The purpose of this article is to suggest an activity to facilitate such understanding in an algebraically fruitful way. Methods that make use of the associative rule for students to use a range of efficient mental and written strategies for addition and subtraction problems are examined, with an eye for making the transition to using the associative rule in algebra in later years.

While this has meant that they are sometimes deemed too esoteric or trivial for use in the regular classroom, this paper takes the view that the study of patterns and relationships is at the heart of mathematics and that such problems provide an excellent opportunity for students to develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of mathematical reasoning. Thus problems that may be dismissed as mere mathematical curiosities may in fact represent a valuable resource for the time-poor teacher. Posamentier and Krulik (2012) suggest a range of strategies for motivating students in mathematics. These include: indicating a void in students' knowledge, discovering a pattern, presenting a challenge, enticing the class with a "gee-whiz" mathematical result and getting students involved in justifying mathematical curiosities. The investigation described here incorporates several of these strategies as students discover the cyclical pattern that exists in the last digits of the powers of various digits. The investigation is intended as a possible activity for upper primary students.

The general capabilities contained within the "Australian Curriculum: Mathematics" (2014) highlight literacy as an important tool in the teaching and learning of mathematics, from the interpretation of word problems to the discussion of mathematics in the classroom. The nationally commissioned "National Numeracy Report," recommended that the language and literacies of mathematics be explicitly taught since language can be a significant barrier to understanding mathematics. As teachers routinely assess students' understanding of mathematics through literacy (often through reading and writing), students may struggle to understand the mathematics because they have specific language difficulties associated with assessment tasks set. Chapter 2 of the "National Numeracy Review Report" highlights the role of language in mathematics learning, and identifies a number of features of language that can have an impact on understanding mathematics. This article focuses on words in mathematics, their derivation and meaning.

This paper reports on analysis of TLR data specifically focusing on its potential as an innovative tool which combines Miller's pyramid, technology and student voice to examine a curriculum for Assurance of Learning (AoL). In 2014, educators mapped each summative assessment to the relevant National Competency Standards Framework for Pharmacists in Australia (NCS) alongside levels of expected performance on Miller's pyramid of clinical competence (Knows, Knows how, Shows how, Does). Simultaneously, students were invited to self-reflect using the same performance levels. The Miller's scale enabled a comparison between students' and their educators' understanding of the performance level demanded by assessments. Analysis highlighted a disconnect between students' and their educators' interpretations of the same assessed curriculum. The TLR facilitates quality enhancement by providing educators and their students with a logical meeting point for discussing foundation, scaffolding and integration of assessment across a course for AoL. This has portability to other professional disciplines.

Two iPad apps ("Area of Shapes (Parallelogram)" and "Area of Parallelogram") are also evaluated to demonstrate the usefulness of the framework in assisting teachers to evaluate digital resources in terms of their pedagogical, cognitive and mathematical fidelity (Bos, 2009). The Area of Shapes (Parallelogram) app consists of four components; an interactive lesson, a virtual geoboard, a multiple-choice test, and a challenge component. The Area of Parallelogram app consists only of a lesson with voice-overs and diagrams explaining to students how to determine the area of a parallelogram.

Effective interpersonal skills are difficult to both learn and teach, requiring development, practise and evaluation in both educational and clinical settings. In professions such as physiotherapy, traditional approaches to teaching these skills have encompassed clinical modelling, and stand-alone didactic teaching of the theory behind communication. These provide limited opportunity for students to practise and receive feedback on their interpersonal and communication skills. This paper describes the implementation of an experiential small group learning approach in an undergraduate physiotherapy program and discusses outcomes. Implications for practice are that: experientially based small group learning with opportunities for practise, reflection, self-evaluation and feedback, can improve students' confidence and interpersonal skills; consistent and scaffolded participation in experiential learning opportunities and assessment of this participation across the program is key to this approach. Interpersonal skills remain a challenge for new graduates; support and mentoring in this domain by supervisors may enhance the transition to work.

This paper reports on such an investigation with a cohort of 1,450 first year psychology students' who indicated whether they frequently attended lectures or not. The division helped ascertain differences and similarities in preferences for using online recordings. Overall, non-frequent attendees were more likely not to use lecture recordings (48.1%) to make up a missed lecture than frequent attendees (34.3%). Surprisingly, in the last week of semester, 29% of students reported not yet accessing lecture recordings. Students had the intention to use lecture recordings as they envisaged these to be helpful for learning and commented that they would be adversely affected if recordings were not available. In fact, students are passionate about lecture recordings. Analytics show that after Lecture 7, each lecture recording attracted 600 or less unique visits (hits) supporting the finding that most students make strategic use of learning resources available within the blended learning environment.

AN - 1826529641; EJ1096698 AB - We have established a community of practice focussed on student learning in first-year science. It is recognised that transition, whether from school to university or other possible transitions, is an issue that is a concern for the entire sector, and this is acknowledged both at Faculty and University level. One of the factors to which we attribute the success of this Community of Practice (CoP) is that we are working within the context of a well-established set of transition pedagogies which have been strongly promoted and supported within the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS). There is also an internal grants scheme that provides small amounts of funding for initiatives aimed at improving transition and engagement as part of the widening participation strategy. Another factor for the success of this group is the leadership and active engagement of a senior staff member. This CoP has not evolved organically as a grass-roots group, nor has it been commissioned from "on high." The Faculty of Science has also recently appointed an academic developer to support course renewal and the mapping of graduate attributes, and this role includes the support of initiatives such as setting up CoPs.

Many genuinely seek to reach out to students and help them make connections between the often abstract topics taught in school. In this article the author presents ideas on integrating literature and mathematics to illustrate how easily mathematics can be found in books that initially do not come across as containing mathematics content. Among the examples presented are: (1) the children's book, "Sylvester Bear Overslept" (Wahl, 1979); (2) Paolo Giordano's "The Solitude of Prime Numbers" (2010); and (3) John Grisham's "The Summons" (2002).

The most obvious factors must involve aspects such as size, colour, movement and discrepancy such as in looking at a Salvador Dali painting. Yet there is another subtle factor associated with shape that also can demand, and even attract, attention. This factor concerns the relationship between dimensions such as width and height. One such phenomenon is referred to as the Golden Proportion. Expressed mathematically, this represents a ratio coefficient of 1:1.62. Taken out of context, such a figure sounds strange. Indeed, it seems almost bizarre to inform someone that they like something because it is 1.6 times higher than it is wide. However, this article presents many examples of phenomena that appear consistent with such a notion. Herein, the author argues that the analysis of the Golden Proportion engages students in varied mathematical thinking. Specifically, such an analysis invokes measurement, ratio, rational number, and proportion. Most vitally, investigating the Golden Proportion, finding it within the world, and being able to describe its dimensional properties, provides remarkably rich learning opportunities which can foster the awareness of proportional reasoning.

Thus, an understanding of the factors leading to negative and positive team experiences can inform strategies to support effective teamwork. This paper examines design students' perceptions and experiences of teamwork. Three sources of qualitative data were analysed: a pilot survey completed by 198 design students in four institutions; five focus groups with 23 students; and a national survey completed by 417 students from 18 Australian universities. Students were from a range of design disciplines, with the majority studying architecture. The findings provide insights into issues and challenges of learning how to design in teamwork contexts, in particular the importance of adopting strategies to promote individual accountability within a team and ensuring fair assessment that acknowledges levels of individual contributions. The paper concludes with recommendations for teachers.

To multiply fractions, simply multiply across the denominators, and multiply across the numerators to get the resultant fraction. So by inverting the division of fractions it is turned into an easy multiplication of fractions problem. The author received a phone call from a primary school teacher who was teaching this method to her Year 6 class. She had been asked a question, one that she had never before been asked. An inquisitive 12 year old was not happy to just accept the methodology taught; he wanted to know why "flip" the second fraction over. The author teaches a bridging mathematics course at university and hardly ever has had anyone ask "why"--why invert a fraction and then multiply?--so it is not surprising that this young teacher has not encountered the question before. Knowing why certain mathematical actions are performed rather than just rote learning will lead to deep understanding. In practice, the authors finds that explaining "why" cements that deep understanding. The author went over two reasons with the colleague and the answers may be of interest. The two reasons are presented in this article. The first explanation would be suitable for younger students learning fractions.

Andrea McDonough and fellow teachers have noticed that some students make good decisions about using materials to assist their problem solving, but this is not always the case. These experiences lead her to ask the following questions: (1) Are concrete materials necessarily helpful for all students in their learning of mathematics? and (2) Are concrete materials always used as effectively as they might be? The focus of this article is the use of concrete materials in the early years mathematics classroom, but the issues and questions might apply equally to virtual manipulatives and to use of manipulatives in higher year levels. With the underlying belief that "good concrete activity is good mental activity" (Clements & McMillen, 1996, p. 272), three key messages are discussed. These are that: (1) concrete materials can help students focus on key mathematical ideas; (2) lessons that incorporate concrete materials can stimulate children's higher order thinking; and (3) teachers may need to intervene when students use concrete materials.

Current research is examining how the use of challenging tasks at different levels of schooling might help students develop conceptual knowledge and proficiencies in mathematics as promoted in the Australian curriculum--understanding, fluency, problem solving, and reasoning. Challenging tasks require students to devise solutions to more complex problems that they have not been previously shown how to solve, and for which they might develop their own solution methods. Another key area of research is on formative assessment which has been found to be effective for increasing student motivation and achievement under certain conditions. This article describes one study within a larger project on challenging tasks. It explored 87 Year 10 students' responses to a quadratics task, and their views on learning with challenging tasks and with multiple solution methods. Some ideas are shared on the potential for using challenging tasks, not only for conceptual learning, but also for formative assessment. This increases the benefit to students by not only providing opportunities for them to grapple with mathematics concepts relationally, but also giving them timely feedback that motivates them to address gaps between their knowledge and learning goals. It also provides teachers with valuable information on their students' current levels of understanding to help them make adjustments in their teaching approaches during the learning process.

However, students experience these apps and their affordances in different ways. The purpose of this article is to inform teachers' decisions about app implementation in the classroom through discussion of four case studies illustrating ways children interacted with the app "Motion Math: Zoom," and how these interactions revealed, concealed, and developed children's mathematical understanding. These results suggest that mathematics virtual manipulative apps on touch-screen devices can be useful tools when thoughtfully implemented. Teachers can balance technological distance by assisting students who need help as they learn the technology required to interact with the app. This may include explicitly using scaffolding provided by the app, leading a guided introduction, or reminding students about appropriate interactions after an initial exploration phase (e.g., Aronin & Floyd, 2013). Both the interactions with apps (e.g., Tucker, 2015) and the discourse involved in these experiences (e.g., Anderson-Pence, 2014) can serve as formative assessments, revealing development of mathematical understanding.

It is characterised by understandings such as the multiplicative relationship between places in the number system, basic and extended number facts, and properties of operations and associated relationships. Using examples from a current Year 6 research project, this article highlights the importance of a combination of conceptual understanding and procedural fluency in developing multiplicative thinkers.

The potential competition between the hydrogenation and the catalyzed-conversion of HMF and furfural has been investigated with Pd/C and Amberlyst 70 as the catalysts at 170 degree C in various solvents. In water, the hydrogenation of HMF or the derivatives of HMF could take place, but the acid-catalyzed conversion of HMF to the diketones (2,5-hexanedione) was the dominant reaction pathway. On the contrary, with ethanol as the solvent, the full hydrogenation of HMF to 2,5-tetrahydrofurandimethanol was the dominant route, and the acid-catalyzed routes became insignificant. The efficiency for hydrogenation of HMF was much higher in ethanol than in water. As for furfural, its hydrogenation proceeded more efficiently in the polar solvents (i.e. ethanol, diethyl ether) than in non-polar solvents (i.e. toluene): a polar solvent tended to favor the hydrogenation of the furan ring in furfural over that of the carbonyl group in the same furfural.

Given human action is responsible for this litter, reducing debris in the marine environment and rates of marine wildlife entanglement (MWE) (i.e. marine animals that are trapped in debris, such as fishing nets or plastic) rests on public education and action. This study investigated the effectiveness of the Seal the Loop (STL) initiative at Melbourne Zoo, Australia, which was designed to meet these aims. The research used visitor surveys following a visit to a fur-seal exhibit and/or educational fur-seal show experience (n = 180 visitors). The findings from this study suggest that participants understand the causes and effects of MWE after visiting the fur-seal exhibit and/or watching the STL show, with both groups accurately appraising that MWE presents a significant risk to marine wildlife (mean = 84.28/100, sd = 17.97, and mean = 88.61/100, sd = 13.39, respectively). However, between-group differences also emerged, with show visitors more likely to report learning something new, more likely to be familiar with the STL programme and its aims, displaying more positive attitudes towards marine animals and their conservation, and reporting both a higher willingness to change their future behaviour to support marine conservation (P = 0.052) and a higher perception that their individual action could make a difference (P < 0.05). This study adds to the literature regarding how interactive shows with storytelling can complement traditional static displays, as well as informing our understanding of the interplay between public knowledge/attitudes/behaviours in relation to marine debris and marine-conservation issues. It is hoped this research will contribute to the ongoing development of education initiatives at zoos and aquariums to enable them to achieve their conservation missions.

In general species such as Co3O4 and CoOOH have been investigated that often require an elevated temperature step during their synthesis to create crystalline materials. In this work we investigate the rapid and direct electrochemical formation of amorphous nanostructured Co(OH)2 on gold electrodes under room temperature conditions which is a highly active precursor for the OER. During the OER some conversion to crystalline Co3O4 occurs at the surface, but the bulk of the material remains amorphous. It is found that the underlying gold electrode is crucial to the materials enhanced performance and provides higher current density than can be achieved using carbon, palladium or copper support electrodes. This catalyst exhibits excellent activity with a current density of 10 mA cm-2 at an overpotential of 360 mV with a high turnover frequency of 2.1 s-1 in 1 M NaOH. A Tafel slope of 56 mV dec-1 at low overpotentials and a slope of 122 mV dec-1 at high overpotentials is consistent with the dual barrier model for the electrocatalytic evolution of oxygen. Significantly, the catalyst maintains excellent activity for up to 24 h of continuous operation and this approach offers a facile way to create a highly effective and stable material.

The present study (1) identifies the organizational and personal motivators for smoking cessation within a recovery community (Congress 60) in the Islamic Republic of Iran, (2) describes a novel method of smoking cessation that combines prolonged nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) with a broad spectrum of psychosocial supports to achieve sustained smoking cessation and improved health and quality of life (HQoL), and (3) presents preliminary follow-up data on the first 100 individuals who participated in this pilot effort. The high retention rate, low reported nicotine cravings during and following NRT, high one-year post-NRT abstinence rates, and reported improvements in HQoL of study participants warrant further evaluation and potential replication of the smoking cessation methods used within Congress 60.

Secondary exploratory analyses included the effects of using US for initial screening in these patients, compared with the use of CT, on radiation exposure, length of stay (LOS), and cost of imaging. Methods We retrospectively gathered data from the records of male patients 18-39 years old who had been admitted with appendicitis between June 2006 and September 2011. We investigated the diagnostic tests performed, the patients' characteristics, and the pathologic testing findings and compared the results obtained on US with those obtained on CT. Results Of 451 included patients, 86 had undergone US initially. Its sensitivity was only 57% (95% confidence interval, 46-67.6), but its positive predictive value was 98% (95% confidence interval, 93.8-100). The mean LOS was significantly shorter for patients who had undergone US only (214 minutes) than it was for those who had undergone CT only (276 minutes; p<0.001). We estimated a 57% reduction in CT use and radiation exposure if US were to be performed initially; this would lead to a 45% decrease in imaging costs at our institution. Conclusions Screening US should be considered first for diagnosing appendicitis because of its high positive predictive value, but even if US results are negative for appendicitis, one should not exclude the possible existence of pathology because US has poor sensitivity in this situation. We speculate that the use of screening US can decrease radiation exposure, imaging costs, and LOS.

Sapwood area (A sub(s)) is one of the most important tree parameters for estimating transpiration from point sap flow measurements. Accurate and efficient determination of A sub(s) and the relationship between A sub(s) and other tree parameters (e.g. diameter at 130 cm, DBH) is essential for the practical upscaling of sap flow data. The conventional methods for determining sapwood area are accurate (although coring can damage the trees) but prohibitive when a large number of trees need to be sampled. Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is a non-destructive geophysical method, which detects the moisture or electrolyte concentration difference in wood tissue to identify sapwood-heartwood boundaries. In this study, a rigorous method for quantifying sapwood width and area using ERT is detailed using measurements on 30 trees of three Australian native species (drooping sheoak and two eucalypts). Results show that sapwood widths estimated by ERT were in good agreement with those obtained from wood core analyses for the three species. A strong linear relationship was observed between A sub(s) and DBH and between heartwood radius and DBH. The A sub(s)-DBH relationship extends the synthesis for eucalypts species in previous studies. Sapwood width was overestimated for trees under wet conditions, which indicates that the ERT technique for sapwood width quantification is limited under such conditions.

These disturbances are widely applied in combination for conservation and livestock management. Little is known regarding the relative effects on species composition of post-fire grazing, grazing by itself, burning by itself, the absence of both of these disturbances or of the variation of their influences between vegetation types. At seven sites in Tasmania, Australia, in sedgeland, heathy forest and grassland, the covers and heights of tracheophytes were measured before and for 2 years after the commencement of a fire experiment that nested grazing within burning. Burning followed by grazing, largely by native vertebrates, tended to result in greater changes in species and lifeform composition than either grazing by itself or burning by itself. Heathy forest and sedgeland responded primarily to fire rather than grazing. Heathy forest shifted to a new state with burning while sedgeland began a return to its pre-burn state. Grazing after burning most strongly affected the lowland tussock grassland, while also strongly influencing the height of highland tussock grasslands. Intact canopies in eucalypt forest after fire prevented a return to the original understorey while grazing animals turn tussock grassland into lawn after fire. In all cases, the effects of grazing after burning are incremental rather than strongly synergistic.

While dry mass is routinely used to determine aquatic plant biomass, wet (fresh) mass can be more practical. We tested the accuracy and precision of wet mass measurements by using a salad spinner to remove surface water from four macrophyte species differing in growth form and architectural complexity. The salad spinner aided in making precise and accurate wet mass with less than 3% error. There was also little difference between operators, with a user bias estimated to be below 5%. To achieve this level of precision, only 10-20 turns of the salad spinner are needed. Therefore, wet mass of a sample can be determined in less than 1 min. We demonstrated that a salad spinner is a rapid and economical technique to enable precise and accurate macrophyte wet mass measurements and is particularly suitable for experimental work. The method will also be useful for fieldwork in situations when sample sizes are not overly large.Original Abstract: L'evaluation fiable de la biomasse de macrophytes est essentielle a la recherche ecologique et la gestion des ecosystemes d'eau douce. Si la masse seche est regulierement utilisee pour determiner la biomasse des plantes aquatiques, la masse humide (fraiche) peut s'averer plus utile en pratique. Nous avons verifie l'exactitude et la precision de mesures de la masse humide en utilisant une essoreuse a salade pour retirer l'eau de surface de quatre especes de macrophytes de formes de croissance et de complexites architecturales variees. L'essoreuse a salade a permis des mesures precises et exactes de la masse humide avec des erreurs inferieures a 3 %. Il y avait peu de difference selon l'utilisateur, le biais induit par l'utilisateur etant estime a moins de 5 %. Pour atteindre ce degre de precision, seules de 10 a 20 rotations de l'essoreuse sont necessaires. La masse humide d'un echantillon peut ainsi etre determinee en moins d'une minute. Nous demontrons que l'utilisation d'une essoreuse a salade constitue une technique rapide et economique permettant la mesure precise et exacte de la masse humide de macrophytes et qu'elle se prete particulierement bien a des travaux experimentaux. Cette methode est egalement utile pour des travaux de terrain dans des situations ou la taille des echantillons n'est pas tres grande.

Strandings programs can give a faithful representation of the species composition of cetacean assemblages, while standardised bycatch rates can provide a measure of relative abundance. Comparing the two datasets may also facilitate managing impacts by understanding which species, sex or sizes are the most vulnerable to interactions with fisheries gear. Here we apply this approach to two long-term datasets in East Australia, bycatch in the Queensland Shark Control Program (QSCP, 1992-2012) and strandings in the Queensland Marine Wildlife Strandings and Mortality Program (StrandNet, 1996-2012). Short-beaked common dolphins, Delphinus delphis, were markedly more frequent in bycatch than in the strandings dataset, suggesting that they are more prone to being incidentally caught than other cetacean species in the region. The reverse was true for humpback whales, Megaptera novaeangliae, bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops spp.; and species predominantly found in offshore waters. QSCP bycatch was strongly skewed towards females for short-beaked common dolphins, and towards smaller sizes for Australian humpback dolphins, Sousa sahulensis. Overall, both datasets demonstrated similar seasonality and a similar long-term increase from 1996 until 2008. Analysis on a species-by-species basis was then used to explore potential explanations for long-term trends, which ranged from a recovering stock (humpback whales) to a shift in habitat use (short-beaked common dolphins).

Few studies directly compare the health consequences of mineral diesel, biodiesel, or blend exhaust exposures. Here, we exposed human epithelial cell cultures to diluted exhaust generated by the combustion of Australian ultralow-sulfur-diesel (ULSD), unprocessed canola oil, 100% canola biodiesel (B100), and a blend of 20% canola biodiesel mixed with 80% ULSD. The physicochemical characteristics of the exhaust were assessed and we compared cellular viability, apoptosis, and levels of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and Regulated on Activation, Normal T cell Expressed and Secreted (RANTES) in exposed cultured cells. Different fuel types produced significantly different amounts of exhaust gases and different particle characteristics. All exposures resulted in significant apoptosis and loss of viability when compared with control, with an increasing proportion of biodiesel being correlated with a decrease in viability. In most cases, exposure to exhaust resulted in an increase in mediator production, with the greatest increases most often in response to B100. Exposure to pure canola oil (PCO) exhaust did not increase mediator production, but resulted in a significant decrease in IL-8 and RANTES in some cases. Our results show that canola biodiesel exhaust exposure elicits inflammation and reduces viability of human epithelial cell cultures in vitro when compared with ULSD exhaust exposure. This may be related to an increase in particle surface area and number in B100 exhaust when compared with ULSD exhaust. Exposure to PCO exhaust elicited the greatest loss of cellular viability, but virtually no inflammatory response, likely due to an overall increase in average particle size.

AN - 1752583378; 26331989 AB - Leflunomide, via its active metabolite teriflunomide, is used in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment, yet approximately 20 to 40% of patients cease due to toxicity. The aim was to develop a time-to-event model describing leflunomide cessation due to toxicity within a clinical cohort and to investigate potential predictors of cessation such as total and free teriflunomide exposure and pharmacogenetic influences. This study included individuals enrolled in the Early Arthritis inception cohort at the Royal Adelaide Hospital between 2000 and 2013 who received leflunomide. A time-to-event model in nonmem was used to describe the time until leflunomide cessation and the influence of teriflunomide exposure and pharmacogenetic variants. Random censoring of individuals was simultaneously described. The clinical relevance of significant covariates was visualized via simulation. Data from 105 patients were analyzed, with 34 ceasing due to toxicity. The baseline dropout hazard and baseline random censoring hazard were best described by step functions changing over discrete time intervals. No statistically significant associations with teriflunomide exposure metrics were identified. Of the screened covariates, carriers of the C allele of CYP1A2 rs762551 had a 2.29 fold increase in cessation hazard compared with non-carriers (95% CI 2.24, 2.34, P = 0.016). A time-to-event model described the time between leflunomide initiation and cessation due to side effects. The C allele of CYP1A2 rs762551 was linked to increased leflunomide toxicity, while no association with teriflunomide exposure was identified. Future research should continue to investigate exposure-toxicity relationships, as well as potentially toxic metabolites. © 2015 The British Pharmacological Society.

AN - 1752354948; 26454666 AB - After coagulation of high salinity reverse osmosis concentrate (ROC) with either alum or ferric chloride followed by UVC/H2O2 treatment, biological activated carbon (BAC) was investigated for the removal of DOC. BAC treatment mainly removed low molecular weight (LMW) neutral molecules indicating that biodegradation was the predominant mechanism of organic matter removal. Coagulation with ferric chloride gave greater DOC reductions than alum both as a stand-alone treatment and after the sequence of UVC/H2O2 and BAC treatment. However, overall reduction after the sequence of coagulation, UVC/H2O2 and BAC treatment was only marginally greater for ferric chloride (68%) than for alum (62%). Trihalomethane formation potential and N-Nitrosodimethylamine concentration decreased markedly after UVC/H2O2 treatment. UVC/H2O2 treatment of the ROC led to the generation of extreme toxicity according to the Microtox assay, but no toxicity was observed after BAC, demonstrating its advantage for enabling safe disposal of the treated ROC. Implementation of coagulation as a pre-treatment and BAC as a post-treatment markedly reduced (6-8 times) the electrical energy dose (EED) required for the UVC/H2O2 process. The sequence of coagulation, UVC/H2O2 and BAC treatment was demonstrated as a potential process for the removal of organic matter from high salinity municipal ROC. Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

AN - 1751990307; 26454839 AB - Treatment intensification either by using concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) or altered fractionation radiotherapy (AFRT) improves outcomes of locoregionally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The superiority of one approach over the other, however, remains to be firmly established. The aim of the present study was to compare outcomes of CCRT versus AFRT in the definitive non-surgical management of locoregionally advanced HNSCC for evidence-based decision making. An electronic search of Medline via PubMed was conducted with no language, year, or publication status restrictions. The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) and Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effectiveness (DARE) were also searched electronically. Only randomised controlled trials assigning HNSCC patients randomly to conventionally fractionated CCRT or AFRT alone were included. Data were extracted independently by two reviewers and pooled using the Cochrane methodology for meta-analysis and expressed as a hazard ratio with 95% confidence intervals. Overall survival was the primary outcome of interest, whereas disease-free survival, locoregional control and toxicity were secondary end points. Five randomised controlled trials (involving 1117 patients and 627 deaths) directly comparing conventionally fractionated CCRT with AFRT alone were included. The risk of bias in included studies was low for efficacy outcomes, but high for toxicity outcomes. The overall pooled hazard ratio of death was 0.73 (95% confidence interval = 0.62-0.86), which significantly favoured conventionally fractionated CCRT over AFRT alone (P < 0.0001). Similarly, disease-free survival (hazard ratio = 0.79, 95% confidence interval = 0.68-0.92; P = 0.002) and locoregional control (hazard ratio = 0.71, 95% confidence interval = 0.59-0.84; P < 0.0001) were significantly improved with CCRT. There were no significant differences in the incidence of severe acute toxicity (dermatitis and mucositis) between the two approaches of treatment intensification. Late xerostomia was significantly increased with CCRT. Significant haematological toxicity and nephrotoxicity were seen exclusively with chemotherapy. There is moderate quality evidence that conventionally fractionated CCRT improves survival outcomes compared with AFRT alone in the definitive radiotherapeutic management of locoregionally advanced HNSCC. No form of acceleration can potentially compensate fully for the lack of concurrent chemotherapy. Copyright © 2015 The Royal College of Radiologists. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

We measured N2O emissions from a silty clay loam with high organic carbon content (98gkg-1) in northern New South Wales (NSW) and a sandy loam with moderate organic carbon content (16gkg-1) in central Queensland (QLD), Australia, to quantify whole season emissions under different N management regimes. High N2O emissions occurred mostly in the first 4-6 months following N fertiliser application (October-March) around the summer season. At farmers' fertiliser application rates (160 or 150kgNha-1 as urea), annual N2O emissions reached 28.2 and 3.6kg N2O-Nha-1, and the emission factors of fertiliser N were 10.0% and 1.32% in NSW and QLD, respectively. Under 80kg urea-Nha-1, the annual emissions decreased to 23.2 and 2.6kg N2O-Nha-1 at the NSW and QLD sites, respectively. Emissions of N2O following polymer-coated urea application decreased by 31% at the NSW site but increased by 50% at the well-drained QLD site compared to conventional urea. Application of urea coated with the nitrification inhibitor 3,4-dimethylpyrozole phosphate (DMPP) decreased N2O emissions from the fertilised area by 36% but this reduction did not translate into statistically significant effects on the plot-scale emissions at the NSW site. DMPP did not significantly reduce annual N2O emissions at the QLD site. Removal of cane trash from the soil surface decreased N2O emissions by 24-30%, demonstrating the promoting effects of trash retention on N2O emissions. We conclude that minimising fertiliser N application rates provides a consistently effective option for reducing N2O emissions from sugarcane farms but the efficacy of polymer- or DMPP-coated urea varies with soil and climatic conditions.

AN - 1744660695; 26062923 AB - The aim of this study was to identify the incidence, causes, risk factors and interventions for cancer patients requiring unplanned admissions within 14 days of discharge at a large metropolitan private hospital without a co-located emergency department. Retrospective data were collected on cancer patients who had an unplanned admission within 14 days of discharge during the period December 1, 2011 and May 31, 2012. Data were collected from the inpatient bed administration database and medical record review. Variables collected included demographics, cancer diagnosis, reasons for admission, interventions, and length of stay. A total of 133 oncology patients required 206 unplanned admissions (UPAs). The most common cancer diagnoses associated with unplanned readmission were upper gastrointestinal (25.4%), colorectal (19.6%), gynaecological (18.8%) and breast (13.8%) cancers. The symptoms most commonly associated with unplanned re-admission were pain (16%); infection not associated with neutropaenia (15.5%); fever and febrile neutropaenia (14.6%); nausea, vomiting and dehydration (13.6%); dyspnoea (8.3%) and altered neurological status (7.8%). The median length of stay (LOS) was 6 days. Length of stay during UPA was decreased for patients with a partner and for those who had a palliative care consult. The need for psychological supports was related to a longer LOS during UPA. Cancer patients are at a significant risk of requiring unscheduled care and admission. Strategies and services to limit the burden on patients and the health care system should be reviewed to minimise the incidence of unplanned admission.

This report examines estimated benefit receipt by families from nine major need-tested benefit programs in 2012: the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP); the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC); Supplemental Security Income (SSI); subsidized housing assistance; the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC); Women, Infants, and Children (WIC); Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF); the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF); and the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).

As lenders and borrowers resolve indebtedness issues, some transactions result in cancellation of debt. Mortgage debt cancellation can occur when lenders restructure loans, reducing principal balances, or sell properties, either in advance, or as a result, of foreclosure proceedings. Historically, if a lender forgives or cancels such debt, tax law has treated it as cancellation of debt (COD) income subject to tax. Exceptions have been available for taxpayers who are insolvent or in bankruptcy, among others -- These taxpayers may exclude canceled mortgage debt income under existing law. Tables.

The nominating process relies on a dense combination of national and state party rules and state election laws to conduct the primaries and caucuses, and it proceeds according to a seemingly haphazard calendar of events.

To date, federal legislative proposals have focused primarily on the management of federal water projects, support for drought-related programs, and needs of fish and wildlife for water. Broadly speaking, supporters of both the Western Water and American Food Security Act (S. 2898) and the California Emergency Drought Relief Act of 2015 (S. 1894) contend that the legislation would allow for maximum available water supplies in a manner that is consistent with existing laws and regulations; however, S. 1894 would provide fewer directives for project operations.

Revising a NAAQS established under the Clean Air Act (CAA) sets in motion a process under which the states and EPA identify areas that exceed the standard (nonattainment areas) using multi-year air quality monitoring data and other criteria, requiring states to take steps to reduce pollutant concentrations to meet the standard.

The revised air quality standards were completed pursuant to the Clean Air Act (CAA) and in response to a court order and consent agreement. Evidence continues to show associations between particulates in ambient air and numerous significant health problems, including aggravated asthma, chronic bronchitis, nonfatal heart attacks, and premature death. Some stakeholders expressed concerns that costs would be more significant than those estimated by EPA for those areas out of compliance with the new standards. Tables, Figures, Appendixes.

Four major programs are in procurement, with five more in research and development (R&D). The need to replace several types of aircraft simultaneously poses challenges to future budgets, as the new programs compete with existing program commitments and normal program growth under a restricted service topline. The impending expiration of caps imposed by the Balanced Budget Act coincides with the modernization programs' growth, but does not necessarily offer sufficient relief to avoid program cuts or other funding approaches.

Participation in a wellness program almost always involves the provision of medical information -- which may include genetic information -- by the participant. This report explains when an employer may request genetic information as part of a wellness program with an inducement attached to participation and the requirements the employer must follow when doing so.
