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.

T1  - Characterization of accessions and species of Macadamia to stem infection by Phytophthora cinnamomi
AN  - 1859470081; PQ0004014462
AB  - Phytophthora cinnamomi is a major pathogen in most macadamia plantations worldwide. 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.

T1  - Characterising the spawning patterns of Jack Mackerel (Trachurus declivis) off eastern Australia to optimise future survey design
AN  - 1850775578; PQ0003930736
AB  - Estimates of spawning biomass obtained using the daily egg production method (DEPM) are used to establish catch limits for Jack Mackerel (Trachurus declivis) off eastern Australia. 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.

T1  - Implantable chemotherapy-loaded silk protein materials for neuroblastoma treatment.
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.

T1  - Impact of distributions on the archetypes and prototypes in heterogeneous nanoparticle ensembles.
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.

T1  - Formation of Haloacetonitriles, Haloacetamides, and Nitrogenous Heterocyclic Byproducts by Chloramination of Phenolic Compounds.
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.

T1  - What drives national support for multilateral climate finance? 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.

T1  - Plankton bioindicators of environmental conditions in coastal lagoons
AN  - 1859486175; PQ0004007355
AB  - Coastal lagoons are characterised by strong spatial gradient of environmental parameters, especially hypersalinity, and are prone to anthropogenic disturbance. 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.

T1  - Crystal structure of a putrescine aminotransferase from Pseudomonas sp. strain AAC
AN  - 1859474499; PQ0004001097
AB  - The putrescine aminotransferase KES24511 from Pseudomonas sp. strain AAC was previously identified as an industrially relevant enzyme based on the discovery that it is able to promiscuously catalyse the transamination of 12-aminododecanoic acid. Here, the cloning, heterologous expression, purification and successful crystallization of the KES24511 protein are reported, which ultimately generated crystals adopting space group I2. The crystals diffracted X-rays to 2.07Aa resolution and data were collected using the microfocus beamline of the Australian Synchrotron. The structure was solved using molecular replacement, with a monomer from PDB entry 4a6t as the search model. The crystal structure of a putrescine aminotransferase from Pseudomonas sp. strain AAC has been determined to a resolution of 2.07Aa.

AN  - 1859472548; PQ0004001096
AB  - The NAD-dependent malonate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase KES23460 from Pseudomonas sp. strain AAC makes up half of a bicistronic operon responsible for [beta]-alanine catabolism to produce acetyl-CoA. The KES23460 protein has been heterologously expressed, purified and used to generate crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction studies. The crystals belonged to space group P2 sub(1)2 sub(1)2 sub(1) and diffracted X-rays to beyond 3Aa resolution using the microfocus beamline of the Australian Synchrotron. The structure was solved using molecular replacement, with a monomer from PDB entry 4zz7 as the search model. The crystal structure of a malonate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas sp. strain AAC has been determined to a nominal resolution of 2.95Aa.

T1  - Evaluation of crop coefficients, water productivity, and water balance components for wine grapes irrigated at different deficit levels by a sub-surface drip
AN  - 1855080959; PQ0003953459
AB  - Accurate estimation of evapotranspiration (ET) and its partitioning into transpiration and evaporation is fundamental for improving water management practices in water-limited environments and under deficit irrigation conditions. 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.

T1  - Quantitative assessment of human health risk posed by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in urban road dust.
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.

T1  - Opportunities for enhancing yield and soil carbon sequestration while reducing N2O emissions in rainfed cropping systems
AN  - 1850773185; PQ0003896809
AB  - Producing the food required to feed the growing global population will inevitably put pressure on the environment and requires sustainable management of agroecosystems. 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.

T1  - Flammability and oxidation kinetics of hydrophobic silica aerogels.
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.

T1  - Heteroatom (N or N-S)-Doping Induced Layered and Honeycomb Microstructures of Porous Carbons for CO sub(2) Capture and Energy Applications
AN  - 1859497175; PQ0003984467
AB  - Increasing global challenges such as climate change, environmental pollution, and energy shortage have stimulated the worldwide explorations into novel and clean materials for their applications in the capture of carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas, and toxic pollutants, energy conversion, and storage. 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.

T1  - On the shape transformation of cone scales
AN  - 1855083372; PQ0003943670
AB  - The shape-morphing behaviours of some biological systems have drawn considerable interest over many years. 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.

T1  - Implications of land cover change on ecosystems services and people's dependency: A case study from the Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve, Nepal
AN  - 1855080455; PQ0003954165
AB  - Protected areas, a corestone of biodiversity conservation, provide a vast array of ecosystem services to support livelihoods of people. 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.

T1  - On the effects of preferential or barrier flow features on solute plumes in permeable porous media
AN  - 1850784496; PQ0003895454
AB  - Despite that discrete flow features (DFFs, e.g. fractures and faults) are common features in the subsurface, few studies have explored the influence of DFFs on solute plumes in otherwise permeable rocks (e.g. sandstone, limestone), compared to low-permeability rock settings (e.g. granite and basalt). 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.

T1  - A Pilot Tsunami Inundation Forecast System for Australia
AN  - 1846422469; PQ0003893397
AB  - The Joint Australian Tsunami Warning Centre (JATWC) provides a tsunami warning service for Australia. 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.

T1  - The Ryukyu Trench may function as a "depocenter" for anthropogenic marine litter
AN  - 1846420862; PQ0003877164
AB  - While concern over anthropogenic marine litter around coastlines is increasing worldwide, information on this litter in trenches on the seafloor is very sparse. We investigated the amount of marine litter on the deep-sea bottom around the Ryukyu Islands in the Northwest Pacific, based on trawl samples. 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.

T1  - Improving the estimation of evaporation by the FAO-56 dual crop coefficient approach under subsurface drip irrigation
AN  - 1846420575; PQ0003889583
AB  - Partitioning of evapotranspiration and estimating of irrigation contribution to evaporation play a crucial role in managing scarce water resources and help in increasing the water productivity of crops, especially of sparsely vegetated plants. 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.

T1  - The changing landscape of disaster volunteering: opportunities, responses and gaps in Australia
AN  - 1846416691; PQ0003892705
AB  - There is a growing expectation that volunteers will have a greater role in disaster management in the future compared to the past. 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.

T1  - Optimising the monitoring of tropical aquatic resources through the development of Indigenous scientific capability
AN  - 1846414595; PQ0003878068
AB  - Involving Indigenous community members to assist with the monitoring of harvested populations can greatly assist with the sustainable use of these resources. 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.

T1  - Analysis of Prehospital Transport Use for Trauma Patients in Lusaka, Zambia
AN  - 1846414465; PQ0003877009
AB  - Despite an increasing burden of injuries, prehospital transport systems remain underdeveloped in many low- and middle-income countries. 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.

T1  - Developing an empirical model for roof solar chimney based on experimental data from various test rigs
AN  - 1846398015; PQ0003846387
AB  - Roof solar chimney is one type of solar chimney to enhance the natural ventilation in buildings. 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.

T1  - Does the Theory of Planned Behaviour Explain Condom Use Behaviour Among Men Who have Sex with Men? A Meta-analytic Review of the Literature
AN  - 1838985015
AB  - The aim of this meta-analysis was to explore whether the constructs in the theory of planned behaviour (TPB; i.e., attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioural control, intention) explain condom use behaviour among men who have sex with men (MSM). 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.

T1  - Widespread polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) contamination of urban soils in Melbourne, Australia.
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.

T1  - Reflecting on schadenfreude: serious consequences of a misfortune for which one is not responsible diminish previously expressed schadenfreude; the role of immorality appraisals and moral emotions
AN  - 1833032391
AB  - Participants (Study 1: N = 138, Study 2: N = 153) responded to a video in which a person suffered a mishap. 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.

T1  - Methods in obtaining split-thickness skin grafts from skin reduction surgery specimens
AN  - 1808625572; PQ0003285359
AB  - To devise a method for obtaining bacterial culture-negative split-thickness skin grafts from specimens removed from living donors undergoing skin reduction surgery. 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.

T1  - Probabilistic Volcanic Ash Hazard Analysis (PVAHA) II: assessment of the Asia-Pacific region using VAPAH
AN  - 1780524590; PQ0002867197
AB  - Volcanic ash is an increasingly common, long-range hazard, impacting on our globalised society. 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.

T1  - Probabilistic Volcanic Ash Hazard Analysis (PVAHA) I: development of the VAPAH tool for emulating multi-scale volcanic ash fall analysis
AN  - 1780521874; PQ0002866843
AB  - Significant advances have been made in recent years in probabilistic analysis of geological hazards. 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.

T1  - Synthesis and biological evaluation of new benzimidazole-thiazolidinedione hybrids as potential cytotoxic and apoptosis inducing agents.
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.

T1  - Putting recommendations into practice: Australian rheumatologists' opinions on leflunomide use in rheumatoid arthritis.
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.

T1  - Broad-scale suppression of cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), associated with Bt cotton crops in Northern New South Wales, Australia.
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.

T1  - A novel bioassay using the barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite to evaluate chronic effects of aluminium, gallium and molybdenum in tropical marine receiving environments.
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.

T1  - Process optimization for an industrial-scale production of Diphtheria toxin by Corynebacterium diphtheriae PW8
AN  - 1863210005; PQ0003889128
AB  - In this study, several parameters affecting the toxin production of Corynebacterium diphtheriae Parke Williams 8 (PW8) were investigated in detail. 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.

T1  - Application of a Gondwanan perspective to restore ecological integrity in the south-western Australian global biodiversity hotspot
AN  - 1846406826; PQ0003835221
AB  - Bounded by ocean and desert, the isolated, predominately Mediterranean-climate region of south-western Australia (SWA) includes nine bioregions (circa 44 million hectares). 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.

T1  - Further investigations into the single metal deposition (SMD II) technique for the detection of latent fingermarks
AN  - 1837325079; PQ0003799766
AB  - Single metal deposition (SMD II), a recently proposed method for the development of latent fingermarks, was investigated by systematically altering aspects of the procedure to assess their effect on the level of development and contrast achieved. 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.

T1  - The use of SNP hybridisation arrays and cytogenetics to characterise deletions of chromosome 4B in hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).
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.

T1  - Targeting the HSP60/10 chaperonin systems of Trypanosoma brucei as a strategy for treating African sleeping sickness.
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.

T1  - Association of age, baseline kidney function, and medication exposure with declines in creatinine clearance on pre-exposure prophylaxis: an observational cohort study.
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. National Institutes of Health.

T1  - 'I Feel Like a Beggar': Asylum Seekers Living in the Australian Community Without the Right to Work
AN  - 1830620042
AB  - While numbers of asylum seekers received by Australia are small compared to global figures, a range of deterrence measures have been implemented in response to increasing numbers arriving by boat in recent years. 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.

T1  - Group living in squamate reptiles: a review of evidence for stable aggregations
AN  - 1827897455; PQ0003725986
AB  - How sociality evolves and is maintained remains a key question in evolutionary biology. 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.

T1  - New (E)-1-alkyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)methylene)indolin-2-ones: Synthesis, in vitro cytotoxicity evaluation and apoptosis inducing studies.
AN  - 1815364443; 27448916
AB  - A new series of (E)-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)methylene)indolin-2-one derivatives has been synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against a panel of selected human cancer cell lines of prostate (PC-3 and DU-145) and breast (BT-549, MDA-MB-231, MCF-7, 4T1), non-small lung (A549) and gastric (HGC) cancer cells along with normal breast epithelial cells (MCF10A). 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.

T1  - Photodecomposition of iodinated contrast media and subsequent formation of toxic iodinated moieties during final disinfection with chlorinated oxidants.
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.

T1  - Synthesis of lab-in-a-pipette-tip extraction using hydrophilic nano-sized dummy molecularly imprinted polymer for purification and analysis of prednisolone.
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%.

T1  - An automated composite table algorithm considering zero liquid discharge possibility in water regeneration-recycle network
AN  - 1837291627; PQ0003771468
AB  - In this study, a novel Automated Composite Table Algorithm (ACTA) is developed for targeting the water regeneration-recycle network of single contaminant problem. 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.

T1  - Growth and root dry matter allocation by pasture legumes and a grass with contrasting external critical phosphorus requirements
AN  - 1827923791; PQ0003723345
AB  - This work aimed to quantify the critical external requirement for phosphorus (P) (i.e. extractable-P concentration required for 90 % of maximum yield) for a number of temperate legume species and understand differences in dry matter allocation, P distribution and P acquisition efficiency among these species. 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.

T1  - Experts know more than just facts: eliciting functional understanding to help prioritise weed biological control targets
AN  - 1827913847; PQ0003687647
AB  - Prioritising investments in classical weed biological control (biocontrol) is a common decision-making challenge: biocontrol programmes can yield substantial benefits but are typically long-term and costly, and the outcome uncertain. 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.

T1  - Impact of algal organic matter released from Microcystis aeruginosa and Chlorella sp. on the fouling of a ceramic microfiltration membrane
AN  - 1827908427; PQ0003657804
AB  - Algal blooms lead to the secretion of algal organic matter (AOM) from different algal species into water treatment systems, and there is very limited information regarding the impact of AOM from different species on the fouling of ceramic microfiltration (MF) membranes. 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%.

T1  - Minimally Processed Functional Foods: Technological and Operational Pathways
AN  - 1827900763; PQ0003726264
AB  - This paper offers a concise review of technical and operational concepts underpinning commercialization of minimally processed functional foods (FFs), foods with fresh-like qualities commanding premium prices. 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. In the operational sense, moving from nourishment to health improvement demands a shift from defensive market-oriented to offensive market-developing strategies including collaborative networks with research organizations.

T1  - Models of reforestation productivity and carbon sequestration for land use and climate change adaptation planning in South Australia
AN  - 1827891784; PQ0003659763
AB  - Environmental management and regional land use planning has become more complex in recent years as growing world population, climate change, carbon markets and government policies for sustainability have emerged. 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.

T1  - Energy cost of intracellular metal and metalloid detoxification in wild-type eukaryotic phytoplankton.
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.

T1  - Board Composition and Corporate Social Responsibility: The Role of Diversity, Gender, Strategy and Decision Making
AN  - 1819085724
AB  - This paper aims to critically review the existing literature on the relationship between corporate governance, in particular board diversity, and both corporate social responsibility (CSR) and corporate social responsibility reporting (CSRR) and to suggest some important avenues for future research in this field. 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.

T1  - Lung cancer risk assessment at receptor site of a waste-to-energy plant.
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)).

T1  - Quantifying the impact of woody material on leaf area index estimation from hemispherical photography using 3D canopy simulations
AN  - 1808617786; PQ0003475984
AB  - Estimating the proportion of woody-to-total plant material ' alpha ' is an essential step to convert Plant Area Index 'PAI' estimates into Leaf Area Index 'LAI'. alpha has also been shown to have a significant impact on the passive optical remote sensing signal for retrieval of biophysical parameters in forests, woodlands, and savannas. 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.

T1  - Designing of Epitope-Focused Vaccine by Targeting E6 and E7 Conserved Protein Sequences: An Immuno-Informatics Approach in Human Papillomavirus 58 Isolates.
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.

T1  - Excellent performance of copper based metal organic framework in adsorptive removal of toxic sulfonamide antibiotics from wastewater.
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.

AB  - This paper explores what the virtual biodiversity e-infrastructure will look like as it takes advantage of advances in 'Big Data' biodiversity informatics and e-research infrastructure, which allow integration of various taxon-level data types (genome, morphology, distribution and species interactions) within a phylogenetic and environmental framework. 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'.

T1  - Mice Deficient in Angiopoietin-like Protein 2 (Angptl2) Gene Show Increased Susceptibility to Bacterial Infection Due to Attenuated Macrophage Activity.
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.

T1  - Applicability of bacterial biocementation in sustainable construction materials
AN  - 1846410293; PQ0003723823
AB  - Urease production of calcifying bacterium, Bacillus megaterium SS3 was enhanced by using response surface methodology (RSM) in current study. 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.

T1  - India's Groundwater Storage Trends Influenced by Tube Well Intensification
AN  - 1837333542; PQ0003761498
AB  - Agriculture is a major occupation for people who inhabit the state of West Bengal in India. 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.

T1  - Quantitative detection of viable helminth ova from raw wastewater, human feces, and environmental soil samples using novel PMA-qPCR methods
AN  - 1827934587; PQ0003691032
AB  - In this study, we have evaluated the efficacy of propidium monoazide quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PMA-qPCR) to differentiate between viable and non-viable Ancylostoma caninum ova. 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.

T1  - Accurate measurement of resistant soil organic matter and its stoichiometry
AN  - 1827922924; PQ0003694178
AB  - Research suggests that relatively stable, fine fraction soil organic matter (FF-SOM) has almost constant concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphur (NPS) per unit of carbon (C), although there are considerable differences in the datasets used. 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.

T1  - Establishing precise estimates of abundance in patchy habitats of the marine nearshore
AN  - 1827918536; PQ0003662667
AB  - Exploratory investigations of optimal sampling designs are a critical component of the decision-making process in ecology where inherent natural variation can lead to erroneous conclusions if left unexamined. 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.

T1  - A critical review of membrane crystallization for the purification of water and recovery of minerals
AN  - 1827917407; PQ0003687852
AB  - Membrane crystallization is an innovative concept to treat water and recover minerals from concentrates. 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.

T1  - Vitamin D status and insulin sensitivity are novel predictors of resting metabolic rate: a cross-sectional analysis in Australian adults
AN  - 1827913825; PQ0003687474
AB  - Resting metabolic rate (RMR) accounts for two-thirds of the total energy expenditure in sedentary individuals. 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.

T1  - North-Seeking Magnetotactic Gammaproteobacteria in the Southern Hemisphere
AN  - 1827909001; PQ0003647386
AB  - Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) comprise a phylogenetically diverse group of prokaryotes capable of orienting and navigating along magnetic field lines. 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.

T1  - Implementation of Organ Culture storage of donor corneas: a 3 year study of its impact on the corneal transplant wait list at the Lions New South Wales Eye Bank
AN  - 1827890198; PQ0003687359
AB  - Organ Culture corneal storage offers an extended storage time and increased donor pool and tissue assessment opportunities. 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.

T1  - Running on Empty
AN  - 1823860931
AB  - Moson shares her experience as a new real estate agent with a tight budget. 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. She also asked a colleague to retrieve them and bring them back to her clients' car. She tried to keep the moment light by making a joke about having to call in her "emergency limo service." Her clients were great sports. They finished up the day with them driving her around.

T1  - Adaptation services and pathways for the management of temperate montane forests under transformational climate change
AN  - 1819145930; PQ0003618173
AB  - In regions prone to wildfire, a major driver of ecosystem change is increased frequency and intensity of fire events caused by a warming, drying climate. 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.

T1  - Youth Social Exclusion in Australian Communities: A New Index
AN  - 1814298950
AB  - Social exclusion is a multi-dimensional measure of disadvantage that spans a number of aspects of an individual's life that impact upon their current and future wellbeing. 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.

T1  - Formation of nitrogenous disinfection by-products in 10 chlorinated and chloraminated drinking water supply systems.
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.

T1  - Research involving limited dependent variables: issues in the literature and recommendations for improvement
AN  - 1811920211
AB  - Despite previous recommendations for improvement, a literature review reveals a minority of recent papers in management journals provide correct interpretations of regression coefficients for analyses of limited dependent variables. 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.

T1  - Traffic state estimation through compressed sensing and Markov random field
AN  - 1811876191; PQ0003557349
AB  - This study focuses on information recovery from noisy traffic data and traffic state estimation. 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.

T1  - Examining bushfire policy in action: Preparedness and behaviour in the 2009 Black Saturday fires
AN  - 1808711412; PQ0003342509
AB  - An important part of reducing the risk of disaster is the preparedness of the people at risk. 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.

T1  - Egg-shaped core/shell alpha -Mn2O3[at] alpha -MnO2 as heterogeneous catalysts for decomposition of phenolics in aqueous solutions
AN  - 1808667459; PQ0003407785
AB  - Novel uniform ellipsoid alpha -Mn2O3[at] alpha -MnO2 core/shell (McMs) nanocomposites were prepared via a hydrothermal process with a shape-control protocol followed by calcination at different temperatures. 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. With the detection of radicals by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), the generation mechanism was proposed.

T1  - Comparative study of ground water treatment plants sludges to remove phosphorous from wastewater
AN  - 1808650335; PQ0003407942
AB  - Alum- and iron-based sludge obtained from water treatment plant produced during a unit treatment process (coagulation and flocculation) have been widely tested as a low-cost adsorbent to remove phosphorous (P) from wastewater. 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.

T1  - Engaging communities in climate adaptation: the potential of social networks
AN  - 1807916872
AB  - There has been a growing recognition regarding the use of social networks to engage communities in government actions. 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.

T1  - The nexus approach to water-energy-food security: an option for adaptation to climate change
AN  - 1811906930; PQ0003562444
AB  - Developing countries face a difficult challenge in meeting the growing demands for food, water, and energy, which is further compounded by climate change. 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.

T1  - Design and synthesis of 4'-O-alkylamino-tethered-benzylideneindolin-2-ones as potent cytotoxic and apoptosis inducing agents.
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.

T1  - Comparisons between VS30 and Spectral Response for 30 Sites in Newcastle, Australia, from Collocated Seismic Cone Penetrometer, Active- and Passive-Source VS Data
AN  - 1811877986; PQ0003521210
AB  - Although the time-averaged shear-wave velocity down to 30 m depth (VS30) can be a proxy for estimating earthquake ground-motion amplification, significant controversy exists about its limitations when used as a single parameter for the prediction of amplification. 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.

T1  - Selective pressurized liquid extraction of replacement and legacy brominated flame retardants from soil.
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.

T1  - The answers are blowin' in the wind: Ultra-distal ashfall zircons, indicators of Cretaceous super-eruptions in eastern Gondwana
AN  - 1815702624; PQ0003584711
AB  - An Early Cretaceous siliceous large igneous province (SLIP) that developed on the eastern margin of Gondwana produced some of the most voluminous siliceous volcaniclastic deposits known globally. 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.

T1  - Empirical constraints on shock features in monazite using shocked zircon inclusions
AN  - 1815694339; PQ0003584710
AB  - Shock deformation microstructures in monazite have been systematically characterized for the first time in grains from the Vredefort impact structure in South Africa. 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.

T1  - Characterisation and classification of automotive clear coats with Raman spectroscopy and chemometrics for forensic purposes
AN  - 1815692002; PQ0003582822
AB  - The clear coats from a collection of automotive paint samples of 139 vehicles, covering a range of Australian and international vehicle manufacturers and sold in Western Australia, were characterised using FT-Raman spectroscopy. 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.

T1  - Intergenerational transmission of dietary behaviours: A qualitative study of Anglo-Australian, Chinese-Australian and Italian-Australian three-generation families
AN  - 1811904936; PQ0003311195
AB  - Family food choice is complex with a number of people within the family sharing food choice and preparation responsibilities. 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.

T1  - Isolation and characterisation of endophytic actinobacteria and their effect on the early growth and nodulation of lucerne (Medicago sativa L.)
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.

T1  - Effects of endophytic Streptomyces and mineral nitrogen on Lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) growth and its symbiosis with rhizobia
AN  - 1811898018; PQ0003515104
AB  - The effects of three endophytic Streptomyces on plant growth and the symbiosis of Lucerne and its rhizobial partner were examined in the presence of three levels of soil nitrogen. 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).

T1  - Cysteine redox proteomics of the hemoglobin-depleted cytosolic fraction of stored red blood cells
AN  - 1811893470; PQ0003561090
AB  - Purpose Erythrocyte concentrates (ECs) represent the most transfused labile blood products. 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.

T1  - Modelled impact of global warming on ENSO-driven precipitation changes in the tropical Pacific
AN  - 1811886989; PQ0003545626
AB  - The El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the primary source of interannual climate variability over the tropical Pacific. 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.

T1  - Fluoride substitution in sodium hydride for thermal energy storage applications
AN  - 1811886527; PQ0003552859
AB  - The solid-state solutions of NaHxF1-x (x = 1, 0.95, 0.85, 0.5) have been investigated to determine their potential for thermal energy applications. 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.

T1  - Saltwater upconing zone of influence
AN  - 1811885111; PQ0003497735
AB  - In this study, we define and characterize the saltwater upconing zone of influence (SUZI). 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.

T1  - A modelling investigation of solute transport in permeable porous media containing a discrete preferential flow feature
AN  - 1811880008; PQ0003497757
AB  - Preferential flow features (PFFs, e.g. fractures and faults) are common features in rocks that otherwise have significant matrix permeability. 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.

T1  - Fine root dry matter relative to mango (Mangifera indica) tree scion size grafted on size-controlling rootstocks, is negatively related to scion growth rate
AN  - 1808667740; PQ0003489442
AB  - The effects of mango rootstock cultivars on scion vigour may be predicted by scion growth rate being negatively related to fine root dry matter/scion trunk cross sectional area. 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.

T1  - Learning the hard way: a case study of an attempt at agricultural transformation in response to climate change
AN  - 1808664797; PQ0003489176
AB  - There is increasing interest in transformational adaptation to climate change in agriculture, i.e. adaptation that involves large-scale, novel responses to reduce vulnerability to climate risks. 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.

T1  - Density-dependent grazing impacts of introduced European rabbits and sympatric kangaroos on Australian native pastures
AN  - 1808656972; PQ0003488750
AB  - Little information is available on relationships between pest animal density and damage in natural ecosystems. 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.

T1  - Three terrestrial Pleistocene coucals (Centropus: Cuculidae) from southern Australia: biogeographical and ecological significance
AN  - 1808642333; PQ0003467198
AB  - Coucals are large, predatory, primarily ground-dwelling cuckoos of the genus Centropus, with 26 extant species ranging from Africa to Australia. 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.

T1  - A longitudinal investigation of the predictors of older drivers' speeding behaviour
AN  - 1808634744; PQ0003321899
AB  - There is little objective evidence about the extent older drivers' are involved in speeding or factors that may influence this behaviour. 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.

T1  - The Nolans Bore rare-earth element-phosphorus-uranium mineral system: geology, origin and post-depositional modifications
AN  - 1808630432; PQ0003464619
AB  - Nolans Bore is a rare-earth element (REE)-U-P fluorapatite vein deposit hosted mostly by the ~1805 Ma Boothby Orthogneiss in the Aileron Province, Northern Territory, Australia. 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.

T1  - The nexus approach to water-energy-food security: an option for adaptation to climate change
AN  - 1807610568
AB  - Developing countries face a difficult challenge in meeting the growing demands for food, water, and energy, which is further compounded by climate change. 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.

T1  - Giving hope a sporting chance: Hope as distinct from optimism when events are possible but not probable
AN  - 1800691010
AB  - Popular hope theories treat hope as an expectancy-based construct, with individuals more hopeful the greater their perceived likelihood of success. 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. Hope is distinct from optimism and positive expectation; hope is tapped into when odds are low yet individuals are highly invested in the outcome.

T1  - Evaluation of a new type of nano-sized carbon monoxide donor on treating mice with experimentally induced colitis.
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.

T1  - New Approach to Create TiO2(B)/Carbon Core/Shell Nanotubes: Ideal Structure for Enhanced Lithium Ion Storage.
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.

T1  - Effectiveness of re-chloramination to control nitrification in chloraminated bulk waters
AN  - 1790974807; PQ0003046855
AB  - Managing chloramine residuals in water distribution systems after the onset of nitrification is a major challenge for water utilities that employ chloramine as a disinfectant. 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.

T1  - Wading a lost southern connection: Miocene fossils from New Zealand reveal a new lineage of shorebirds (Charadriiformes) linking Gondwanan avifaunas
AN  - 1808646365; PQ0003359543
AB  - An endemic and previously unknown lineage of shorebirds (Charadriiformes: Scolopaci) is described from early Miocene (19-16 Ma) deposits of New Zealand. 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

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.

T1  - Gender and Evidence in Family Law Reform: A Case Study of Quantification and Anecdote in Framing and Legitimising the 'Problems' with Child Support in Australia
AN  - 1813138732
AB  - Despite claims of 'evidence based policy', the place of empirical evidence in family law reform is ambiguous. 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.

T1  - Multiple morphological clocks and total-evidence tip-dating in mammals
AN  - 1811885890; PQ0003530744
AB  - Morphological integration predicts that correlated characters will coevolve; thus, each distinct suite of correlated characters might be expected to evolve according to a separate clock or 'pacemaker'. 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.

T1  - Biomechanical differences of the anterior and posterior bands of the ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow
AN  - 1808729561; PQ0003390265
AB  - Purpose: The main purpose of this study was to examine the functional characteristics of the anterior and posterior bands of the anterior bundle of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL). 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.

T1  - Iodide Residues in Milk Vary between Iodine-Based Teat Disinfectants
AN  - 1808725562; PQ0003402599
AB  - Majority of iodine found in dairy milk comes from the diet and teat disinfection products used during milking process. 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.

T1  - Probability analysis of the fire structural resistance of aluminium plate
AN  - 1808698138; PQ0003322660
AB  - An experimental and numerical study into the intrinsic scatter in the fire structural resistance of aluminium plate supporting tension loads is presented. 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.

T1  - A spatial assessment of potential biomass for bioenergy in Australia in 2010, and possible expansion by 2030 and 2050
AN  - 1808688616; PQ0003270773
AB  - This paper provides spatial estimates of potentially available biomass for bioenergy in Australia in 2010, 2030 and 2050 (under clearly stated assumptions) for the following biomass sources: crop stubble, native grasses, pulpwood and residues (created either during forest harvesting or wood processing) from plantations and native forests, bagasse, organic municipal solid waste and new short-rotation tree crops. 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).

T1  - Laboratory measurements of the effect of fluid saturation on elastic properties of carbonates at seismic frequencies
AN  - 1808684299; PQ0003353295
AB  - A significant portion of the world's hydrocarbon reserves are found in carbonate reservoirs, yet analysis of the petrophysical properties of these reservoirs is associated with a number of challenges. 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%.

T1  - Case History: Using time-lapse vertical seismic profiling data to constrain velocity-saturation relations: the Frio brine pilot CO sub(2) injection
AN  - 1808680451; PQ0003353289
AB  - CO sub(2) sequestration projects benefit from quantitative assessment of saturation distribution and plume extent for field development and leakage prevention. 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.

T1  - A dual-porosity scheme for fluid/solid substitution
AN  - 1808644440; PQ0003353292
AB  - Estimating the impact of solid pore fill on effective elastic properties of rocks is important for a number of applications such as seismic monitoring of production of heavy oil or gas hydrates. 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.

T1  - Human skin penetration and local effects of topical nano zinc oxide after occlusion and barrier impairment.
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.

T1  - GroEL/ES inhibitors as potential antibiotics.
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.

T1  - Brief Report: Coaching Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder in a School-Based Multi-Sport Program
AN  - 1795753272
AB  - While physical activity (PA) is often overwhelming for people with ASD, appropriate engagement strategies can result in increased motivation to participate and associated physical and psychosocial benefits. 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.

T1  - Framing the private land conservation conversation: Strategic framing of the benefits of conservation participation could increase landholder engagement
AN  - 1790967393; PQ0003116026
AB  - How conservation messages are framed will impact the success of our efforts to engage people in conservation action. 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.

T1  - Human health risk assessment of heavy metals in urban stormwater.
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.

T1  - Performance of a lateral pelvic cluster technical system in evaluating running kinematics
AN  - 1811892786; PQ0003219544
AB  - Valid measurement of pelvic and hip angles during posterior load carriage gait task requires placement of pelvic markers which will not be occluded or physically displaced by the load. 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.

T1  - Coronary computed tomography angiography investigation of the association between left main coronary artery bifurcation angle and risk factors of coronary artery disease
AN  - 1808732987; PQ0003389815
AB  - To explore the association between the left main coronary artery bifurcation angle and common atherosclerotic risk factors with regard to the development of coronary artery disease (CAD) using coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). 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.

T1  - Fitness benefits of serotiny in fire- and drought-prone environments
AN  - 1808727435; PQ0003390660
AB  - Despite the abundance of serotinous species in southwestern Australia, demonstration of the enhancement of fitness through fire, by releasing seeds onto an optimal postfire seedbed for seedling establishment, rather than following drought death, has not been explicitly explored. 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.

T1  - Geographic variation in hybridization and ecological differentiation between three syntopic, morphologically similar species of montane lizards
AN  - 1808657216; PQ0003293771
AB  - To understand factors shaping species boundaries in closely related taxa, a powerful approach is to compare levels of genetic admixture at multiple points of contact and determine how this relates to intrinsic and extrinsic factors, such as genetic, morphological and ecological differentiation. 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.

T1  - Enhancing Attraction of African Malaria Vectors to a Synthetic Odor Blend
AN  - 1808637589; PQ0003489187
AB  - The deployment of odor-baited tools for sampling and controlling malaria vectors is limited by a lack of potent synthetic mosquito attractants. 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.

T1  - Structural diversity and chemical synthesis of peroxide and peroxide-derived polyketide metabolites from marine sponges
AN  - 1808615539; PQ0003358452
AB  - Covering: up to early 2016 Marine sponges are widely known as a rich source of natural products, especially of polyketide origin, with a wealth of chemical diversity. 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.

T1  - Using discrete-return airborne laser scanning to quantify number of canopy strata across diverse forest types
AN  - 1808611515; PQ0003287220
AB  - 1. 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.

T1  - The golden ark: arsenopyrite crystal plasticity and the retention of gold through high strain and metamorphism
AN  - 1802201236; PQ0003082821
AB  - Quantitative electron backscatter diffraction analysis and ion microprobe imaging of gold-rich arsenopyrites provide the first insights into the crystal plasticity and element mobility behaviour of arsenopyrites through metamorphism (340 degree -460 degree and 2 kbar). 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.

T1  - Effect of extraction method and ripening stage on banana peel pigments
AN  - 1794501225; PQ0003150280
AB  - Carotenoids are one of the most widespread pigments in nature and can be used as health-promoting natural food colorants. 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.

T1  - Testing the generality of above-ground biomass allometry across plant functional types at the continent scale
AN  - 1790962919; PQ0003064051
AB  - Accurate ground-based estimation of the carbon stored in terrestrial ecosystems is critical to quantifying the global carbon budget. 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).

T1  - Objectives for management of socio-ecological systems in the Great Barrier Reef region, Australia
AN  - 1790960499; PQ0003134242
AB  - A wide range of goals and objectives have to be taken into account in natural resources management. 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.

T1  - Confidence in soil carbon predictions undermined by the uncertainties in observations and model parameterisation
AN  - 1787972315; PQ0003002846
AB  - Soil carbon (C) responds quickly and feedbacks significantly to environmental changes such as climate warming and agricultural management. 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.

T1  - Potato spindle tuber viroid: alternative host reservoirs and strain found in a remote subtropical irrigation area
AN  - 1787970730; PQ0002993377
AB  - During 2007-2012, Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) was detected in volunteer cultivated, wild and native plants during studies to determine whether Pospiviroids occur within the isolated, sub-tropical, Gascoyne Horticultural District (GHD) in central coastal Western Australia (WA). 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. This reservoir explains the occurrence of repeated PSTVd infections in different years in field crops of tomato, pepper and chilli growing in its market gardens and small farms. These findings have implications concerning PSTVd spread in intensive solanaceous crop field production systems in other subtropical regions of the world.

T1  - Using financial intelligence to target online fraud victimisation: applying a tertiary prevention perspective
AN  - 1786270060
AB  - It is well established that policing in an online environment is fraught with challenges. 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.

T1  - Towards urban food sovereignty: the trials and tribulations of community-based aquaponics enterprises in Milwaukee and Melbourne
AN  - 1790940779; PQ0003086210
AB  - Community-based urban aquaponics enterprises represent a new model for how to blend local agency with scientific innovation to deliver food sovereignty (FS) in cities, re-engaging and giving urban communities more control over their food production and distribution. 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.

T1  - Lakotacrinus brezinai n. gen. n. sp., a new stalked crinoid from cold methane seeps in the Upper Cretaceous (Campanian) Pierre Shale, South Dakota, United States
AN  - 1815706295; PQ0003584635
AB  - Despite a rich and varied record, Mesozoic stalked crinoids are relatively rare in the Western Interior Seaway of North America compared to those found in Northern Europe. 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.

T1  - Trilobites of the suborder Illaenina from the Silurian of north Queensland, Australia
AN  - 1815704722; PQ0003584636
AB  - The trilobite fauna of the middle Silurian (Telychian to possibly earliest Sheinwoodian) Tomcat Creek limestone in the Broken River Province of north Queensland is dominated by the suborder Illaenina, including illaenimorphs (Illaeninae and Bumastinae) and members of the Scutelluidae. 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.

T1  - An evaluation of the Essential Medicines List, Standard Treatment Guidelines and prescribing restrictions, as an integrated strategy to enhance quality, efficacy and safety of and improve access to essential medicines in Papua New Guinea
AN  - 1790965063; PQ0003078420
AB  - The World Health Organization (WHO) has advocated the development and use of country specific Standard Treatment Guidelines (STGs) and Essential Medicines Lists (EML) as strategies to promote the rational use of medicines. 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.

T1  - polypatex: an r package for paternity exclusion in autopolyploids
AN  - 1785246163; PQ0002910566
AB  - Microsatellite markers have demonstrated their value for performing paternity exclusion and hence exploring mating patterns in plants and animals. 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.

T1  - Combination chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, epirubicin and 5-fluorouracil causes trabecular bone loss, bone marrow cell depletion and marrow adiposity in female rats.
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.

T1  - Antiretroviral Therapy in Severely Malnourished, HIV-infected Children in Asia.
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.

T1  - Process development of a human recombinant diabody expressed in E. coli: engagement of CD99-induced apoptosis for target therapy in Ewing's sarcoma.
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.

T1  - Beyond the State: Shaping Governance and Development Policy in an Australian Region
AN  - 1778660284
AB  - The role of the state in regional development is often unclear and contested. 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.

T1  - Could Biomarkers Direct Therapy for the Septic Patient?
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.

T1  - Build-up of toxic 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.

T1  - Ordered Monolayer Gold Nano-urchin Structures and Their Size Induced Control for High Gas Sensing Performance.
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.

T1  - Computational identification of piRNA targets on mouse mRNAs
AN  - 1790940676; PQ0003078152
AB  - Motivation: PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs that are highly abundant in the germline. 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. Supplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

T1  - Organic chloramines in drinking water: An assessment of formation, stability, reactivity and risk.
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.

T1  - Spatial organization of seismicity and fracture pattern in NE Italy and W Slovenia
AN  - 1832600074; 772359-8
AB  - The study focuses on the spatial organization of seismicity and the relation between fracture pattern and earthquakes in the Friuli (north-eastern Italy) and western Slovenia seismic regions. 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.

T1  - Effects of water and alcohols on the polymerization of furan during its acid-catalyzed conversion into benzofuran
AN  - 1805511158; PQ0003133364
AB  - Furan, an important product from catalytic pyrolysis of biomass, has the potential to be further converted into value-added chemicals or biofuels. 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.

T1  - Design and construction of a new human naive single-chain fragment variable antibody library, IORISS1
AN  - 1785227279; PQ0002926132
AB  - Human monoclonal antibodies are a powerful tool with increasingly successful exploitations and the single chain fragment variable format can be considered the building block for the implementation of more complex and effective antibody-based constructs. 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. Using biopanning, we determined the ability of IORISS1 to yield antibodies. The results we obtained suggest that, by using an optimized protocol, an efficient phage antibody library can be generated.

T1  - Effect of number of motor units and muscle fibre type on surface electromyogram
AN  - 1780526435; PQ0002845714
AB  - Reduction in number of motor units (nMU) and fast fibre ratio (FFR) is associated with disease or atrophy when this is rapid. 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.

T1  - Uncertainty in CMIP5 model-projected changes in the onset/retreat of the Australian summer monsoon
AN  - 1780524606; PQ0002867258
AB  - This study addresses several significant drawbacks in our previous analyses of how Australian summer monsoon onset/retreat may respond to global warming in CMIP3 model simulations. 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.

T1  - A Review of Drowning Prevention Interventions for Children and Young People in High, Low and Middle Income Countries
AN  - 1776649678; PQ0002815856
AB  - Globally, drowning is one of the ten leading causes of child mortality. 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.

T1  - The impact of climate change on regional water balances in Bangladesh
AN  - 1776648633; PQ0002820614
AB  - The probable effect of climate change on the water available for use in Bangladesh is not well known. 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.

T1  - Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) removal by sorption: A review.
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.

T1  - Adsorption of methylene blue dye from aqueous solution by novel biomass Eucalyptus sheathiana bark: equilibrium, kinetics, thermodynamics and mechanism
AN  - 1780535322; PQ0002712301
AB  - This study was undertaken to evaluate the adsorption potential of a naturally available, cost-effective, raw eucalyptus bark (EB) (Eucalyptus sheathiana) biomass, to remove organic methylene blue (MB) dye from its aqueous solutions. 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.

T1  - A new allele for aluminium tolerance gene in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.).
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.

T1  - The role of personal experience in frequency of rainwater tank maintenance and policy implications
AN  - 1773827207; PQ0002718451
AB  - Domestic rainwater tanks have a long history in Australia, although more recently they have been common only in remote and rural areas. 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.

T1  - Boron removal from seawater using date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) seed ash
AN  - 1762357130; PQ0002516513
AB  - The feasibility of date seed ash, a low-cost agricultural by-product in Oman, for the removal of boron from aqueous solution was investigated. 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.

T1  - The impact of the crisis on the Orthodox Church of Greece: a moment of challenge and opportunity?
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.

T1  - Epigenetic Mechanisms: An Emerging Player in Plant-Microbe Interactions
AN  - 1808741585; PQ0003356027
AB  - Plants have developed diverse molecular and cellular mechanisms to cope with a lifetime of exposure to a variety of pathogens. 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.

T1  - Antibacterial properties of nitric oxide-releasing porous silicon nanoparticles
AN  - 1794495781; PQ0003133524
AB  - In this study, the antibacterial efficacy of NO-releasing porous silicon nanoparticles (pSiNPs) is reported. 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.

T1  - Lessons learned in using realist evaluation to assess maternal and newborn health programming in rural Bangladesh
AN  - 1785235531; PQ0002895191
AB  - Realist evaluation furnishes valuable insight to public health practitioners and policy makers about how and why interventions work or don't work. 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.

T1  - Bacterial production of transparent exopolymer particles during static and laboratory-based cross-flow experiments
AN  - 1780530847; PQ0002842015
AB  - Biofouling of seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) membranes represents one of the leading causes of performance deterioration in the desalination industry. 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.

T1  - Toxicities of 48 pharmaceuticals and their freshwater and marine environmental assessment in northwestern France.
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.

T1  - Proteomics of the red blood cell carbonylome during blood banking of erythrocyte concentrates
AN  - 1776666498; PQ0002809464
AB  - Purpose Transfusion of red blood cells (RBCs) is a daily medical procedure. 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.

T1  - Innovations in assessment and adaptation: building on the US National Climate Assessment
AN  - 1776663956; PQ0002815576
AB  - Well-targeted scientific assessments can support a range of decision-making processes, and contribute meaningfully to a variety of climate response strategies. 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.

T1  - Integrating Safe Sleep Practices into a Pediatric Hospital: Outcomes of a Quality Improvement Project
AN  - 1774331025
AB  - A quality improvement project for implementing safe sleep practices (SSP) was conducted at a large, U.S children's hospital. 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.

T1  - A framework for testing radiata pine under projected climate change in Australia and New Zealand
AN  - 1773834359; PQ0002671153
AB  - Radiata pine plantation resources in Australia and New Zealand are a highly productive source of solid-wood and pulp products for domestic consumption and export. 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.

T1  - Variations on thermal transport modelling of subsurface temperatures using high resolution data
AN  - 1773834137; PQ0002723338
AB  - Although streambed dynamics are known to be complex and three-dimensional, flux within the subsurface is often estimated with simplified models for convenience, despite the errors this incurs. 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.

T1  - Biomechanical Effects of Capsular Shift in the Treatment of Hip Microinstability: Creation and Testing of a Novel Hip Instability Model
AN  - 1773833921; PQ0002716850
AB  - Background: A capsular shift procedure has been described for the treatment of hip instability; however, the biomechanical effects of such a shift are unknown. 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.

T1  - Values, rules and knowledge: Adaptation as change in the decision context
AN  - 1765947981; PQ0002530889
AB  - Responding to global change represents an unprecedented challenge for society. 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.

T1  - The second European interdisciplinary Ewing sarcoma research summit--A joint effort to deconstructing the multiple layers of a complex disease.
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.

T1  - Successful greenhouse gas mitigation in existing Australian office buildings
AN  - 1846394222; PQ0003864650
AB  - Frequent site energy consumption auditing is a potential strategy to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from existing buildings. 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.

T1  - Surface modification of an organic hessian substrate leads to shifts in bacterial biofilm community composition and abundance.
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.

T1  - Photographic identification of individuals of a free-ranging, small terrestrial vertebrate
AN  - 1776649136; PQ0002772774
AB  - Recognition of individuals within an animal population is central to a range of estimates about population structure and dynamics. 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.

T1  - The global significance of omitting soil erosion from soil organic carbon cycling schemes
AN  - 1768575873; PQ0002688156
AB  - Soil organic carbon (SOC) cycling schemes used in land surface models (LSMs) typically account only for the effects of net primary production and heterotrophic respiration. 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.

T1  - Identification of aphid (Hemiptera: Aphididae) species of economic importance in Kenya using DNA barcodes and PCR-RFLP-based approach
AN  - 1768574840; PQ0002672540
AB  - Aphids are among pests of economic importance throughout the world. 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.

T1  - Endophytic colonization of Arabidopsis thaliana by Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus and its effect on plant growth promotion, plant physiology, and activation of plant defense
AN  - 1765976184; PQ0002586849
AB  - Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus is a plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) that colonizes several plant species. 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.

T1  - Genetic characterization of field-evolved resistance to phosphine in the rusty grain beetle, Cryptolestes ferrugineus (Laemophloeidae: Coleoptera).
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.

T1  - Electrochemical studies of hydrogen chloride gas in several room temperature ionic liquids: mechanism and sensing.
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.

T1  - Unauthorized Aliens, Higher Education, In-State Tuition, and Financial Aid: Legal Analysis
AN  - 1767319085; 2011-910374
AB  - The existence of a sizable population of 'DREAMers' (aliens who were brought to the US as children and raised here but lack legal immigration status) has prompted questions about unauthorized aliens' eligibility for admission to public institutions of higher education, in-state tuition, and financial aid. 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. This report provides an overview of the basic principles regarding equal protection and preemption. Tables.

T1  - Juvenile Justice Funding Trends
AN  - 1767320593; 2011-910376
AB  - The federal government has no juvenile justice system of its own. 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).

T1  - American Agriculture and the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Agreement
AN  - 1767320267; 2011-910375
AB  - The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a regional free trade agreement (FTA), which the US concluded with 11 other Pacific-facing nations in October 2015: Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, and Vietnam. 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.

AB  - Recent media and industry reports have employed the term big data as a key to the future of increased food production and sustainable agriculture. 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.

AB  - The deepening of the financial crisis in 2008 led the Federal Reserve (Fed) to revive an obscure provision found in Section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act to extend credit to nonbank financial firms. More controversially, the Fed provided special, assistance exclusively to four firms considered 'too big to fail' -- AIG, Bear Stearns, Citigroup, and Bank of America. This report reviews the history of Section 13(3). It discusses the Fed's authority under Section 13(3) before and after the Dodd-Frank Act and discusses policy issues and legislation to amend Section 13(3). Tables, Figures, Appendixes.

T1  - The Animal Welfare Act: Background and Selected Animal Welfare Legislation
AN  - 1767320626; 2011-910384
AB  - In 1966, Congress passed the Laboratory Animal Welfare Act to prevent pets from being stolen for sale to research laboratories, and to regulate the humane care and handling of dogs, cats, and other laboratory animals. The law was amended in 1970, changing the name to the Animal Welfare Act (AWA). The AWA is administered by the US Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). Congress periodically amends the act to strengthen enforcement, expand coverage to more animals and activities, or curtail practices viewed as cruel (eg, animal fighting), among other things. Tables.

T1  - Water Quality Issues in the 114th Congress: An Overview
AN  - 1767320497; 2011-910385
AB  - Much progress has been made in achieving the ambitious goals of the 1972 Clean Water Act (CWA) to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the nation's waters -- However, longstanding problems persist, and new problems have emerged. 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.

T1  - Use of the Annual Appropriations Process to Block Implementation of the Affordable Care Act (FY2011-FY2016)
AN  - 1767320020; 2011-910386
AB  - Some lawmakers have used the annual appropriations process in an effort to eliminate funding for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act's (ACA's) implementation. ACA-related provisions have been included in enacted appropriations acts each year since the ACA became law. They have denied the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) any new funding to cover the administrative costs of ACA implementation. To date, the ACA limitation provisions added by House appropriators have been removed during negotiations with the Senate -- None of them have been included in any of the enacted appropriations acts.

T1  - The earliest stages of the Central Asian fold belt continental crust formation: magmatism and paleotectonic reconstructions of the Yenisey Ridge orogen from the southwestern framing of the Siberian craton
AN  - 1861085810; 784669-70
AB  - Yenisey Ridge orogen, located in the southwestern framing of the Siberian craton, represents the northeastern segment of the Central Asian fold belt. 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.

T1  - Archean magmatism and crustal evolution in the northern Tarim Craton: insights from zircon U-Pb-Hf-O isotopes and geochemistry of approximately 2.7 Ga orthogneiss and amphibolite in the Korla Complex
AN  - 1861085069; 784656-41
AB  - Extensive granitoid and mafic - ultramafic magmatism and crustal growth occurred at approximately 2.7 Ga in many cratons of the world, but the geodynamic setting during this period is complicated because both arc- and plume-related metavolcanic rocks are closely associated in several greenstone belts. 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.

T1  - Mapping the geochemistry of the Earth's surface at global to local scales
AN  - 1861083297; 784690-17
AB  - Systematic geochemical mapping is considered to be the best available method to document changes in the levels of chemical elements in materials occurring at or below the Earth's surface, such as rock, soil, floodplain or overbank sediment, stream sediment, stream water, ground water and vegetation. 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.

T1  - Variations in trace elements and Platinum group elements compositions during the past 800,000 years at Dome C EPICA ice cores, Antarctica
AN  - 1861082450; 784681-67
AB  - Trace elements and Platinum group elements (PGE) concentration were determined in sections from the EPICA (European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica) Dome C ice core, covering a period form approximately 600 kyr BP to approximately 800 kyr BP, by inductively coupled plasma sector field mass spectrometry (ICP-SFMS) coupled with desolvation nebulization system and sub-boiling pre-concentration [1]. 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.

T1  - The life cycles of mantle plumes and superplumes: observations, modelling, and geodynamic implications
AN  - 1861082428; 784689-23
AB  - Mantle plumes and superplumes (large lower shear velocity provinces - LLSVPs, that can drive "secondary" mantle plumes above them) are widely believed to be features caused by thermal anomalies or thermal instabilities around the core-mantle boundary, and are independent of the plate tectonic system. 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].

T1  - Resolving the evolution of long-lived orogens through laser-split stream ICP-MS of detrital accessory minerals preserved in successor basins
AN  - 1861081352; 784684-8
AB  - The Mesoproterozoic Edmund Basin (1620-1456 Ma) lies between the Pilbara and Yilgarn cratons and comprises a sequence of sedimentary rocks that formed in the later stages of the evolution of the Capricorn Orogen during the amalgamation of the Western Australian Craton [1], [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].

T1  - Mapping mineral potential at continental to regional scales using a mineral system approach: Ni-Cu-PGE and IOCG systems in Australia
AN  - 1861079859; 784660-5
AB  - The mineral systems concept was formulated originally for Proterozoic hydrothermal ore-forming systems by workers at the Australian Geological Survey Organisation (AGSO) [1]. 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.

T1  - Recovery after the end-Permian biotic crisis in the Boreal Sea
AN  - 1861077975; 784677-3
AB  - Global warming, attributed to emissions of CO2 from the Siberian Traps Large Igneous Province (STLIP), is widely accepted as explaining the environmental changes associated with the Late Permian-Triassic mass extinction event and recovery. 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.

T1  - 3D mapping for mineral exploration under cover: continental to regional scale examples in Australia
AN  - 1861076928; 784674-73
AB  - Australia is well known for its mineral endowment and its long history of mining. 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.

T1  - ET at high-T: metamorphism of ordinary chondrites
AN  - 1861076341; 784672-66
AB  - New thermodynamic models calibrated to very low P for minerals and melt in terrestrial mantle peridotite [1] permit quantitative investigation of high-T metamorphism in ordinary chondrites using phase equilibria modelling [2]. 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.

T1  - Magnetic resonance microimaging of cancer cell spheroid constructs
AN  - 1837333486; PQ0003767611
AB  - Background:Hydrogel-based cell cultures are excellent tools for studying physiological events occurring in the growth and proliferation of cells, including cancer cells. 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.

T1  - Mathematics Pedagogical Design Capacity from Planning through Teaching
AN  - 1826546614; EJ1103499
AB  - As teachers prepare for mathematics lessons they make instructional plans based on their knowledge and available resources. 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.

T1  - Fostering Teacher Learning of Conjecturing, Generalising and Justifying through Mathematics Studio
AN  - 1826546565; EJ1103504
AB  - Calls to advance students' ability to engage in mathematical reasoning practices including conjecturing, generalising and justifying (CGJ) place significant new demands on teachers. 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.

T1  - Challenging Transitions and Crossing Borders: Preparing Novice Mathematics Teacher Educators to Support Novice K-12 Mathematics Teachers
AN  - 1826546424; EJ1103490
AB  - Sixty-nine recently graduated doctoral students in mathematics education completed a survey to determine their perceptions of transitioning from a doctoral program into an academic position at an institution of higher education. 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.

T1  - Toward a Holistic View: Analysis of Pre-Service Teachers' Professional Vision in Field Experiences and Its Implications
AN  - 1826543932; EJ1103485
AB  - This study investigated the aspects of learning and teaching that pre-service teachers examined at distinct time periods while taking on different roles. 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.

T1  - Exploring Preservice Mathematics Teachers' Perception of the Mathematics Teacher through Communities of Practice
AN  - 1826543638; EJ1103488
AB  - This research aimed to analyse the induction experiences of preservice mathematics teachers during their school placements through the lens of communities of practice. 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.

T1  - Learning Together: Practice-Centred Professional Development to Enhance Mathematics Instruction
AN  - 1826543558; EJ1103502
AB  - Elementary teachers were involved in a two-year grant focused on professional development using lesson study processes to increase their understanding of mathematics content and effective mathematics pedagogy. 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.

T1  - The M in STEM: What Is It Really?
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.

AN  - 1826541663; EJ1106793
AB  - In this article, we present investigative tasks that concern loci, which integrate the use of dynamic geometry software (DGS) with mathematics for proving the obtained figures. 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.

T1  - What Mathematics Calculations Do Adults Do in Their Everyday Lives? Part 1 of a Report on the Everyday Mathematics Project
AN  - 1826541515; EJ1106790
AB  - The type of mathematics taught in schools is often criticised for being irrelevant to students' lives and not based in "real life". This article is Part 1 of a three part report that documents the findings of a research project that investigated the mathematical calculations completed by adults in their everyday, non-occupational lives in an Australian context. Outlined here are the findings that emerged from analysing data gathered from 160 participants who were asked to describe three of their most typical types of mathematics calculations. Next, they completed a daily log of their everyday mathematics calculations. In all, details of over 1200 calculations were collected during the first stage of the study and these calculations are the focus of this article.

T1  - Helping Students Interpret Large-Scale Data Tables
AN  - 1826541442; EJ1106792
AB  - New technologies have completely altered the ways that citizens can access data. 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.

T1  - On the Analysis of Indirect Proofs: Contradiction and Contraposition
AN  - 1826541418; EJ1106788
AB  - The paper explores and clarifies the similarities and differences that exist between proof by contradiction and proof by contraposition. 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.

T1  - Integrating Technologies into Mathematics: Comparing the Cases of Square Roots and Integrals
AN  - 1826541394; EJ1106785
AB  - Two decades ago, in an award-winning paper, Dan Kennedy (1995) likened learning mathematics to climbing a tree, for which there was only one way to climb: up a large and solid trunk. 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.

AN  - 1826540095; EJ1107017
AB  - According to the latest news about declining standards in mathematics learning in Australia, boys, and girls, in particular, need to be more engaged in mathematics learning. 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.

T1  - "Egg-Streme" Egg Crashes
AN  - 1826539269; EJ1106791
AB  - Context based learning (CBL) is a powerful tool that utilises areas of student interest framed in meaningful contexts to foster development of new skills and understanding. 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.

T1  - Using Graphing to Reveal the Hidden Transformations in Palindrome (and Other Types of) Licence Plates
AN  - 1826539268; EJ1106786
AB  - This article provides a range of activities designed to engage students in using an early form of graphing. 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.

AB  - Life tables are mathematical tables that document probabilities of dying and life expectancies at different ages in a society. 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.

AB  - This discussion-based lesson is designed to support Year 6 students in their initial understanding of using letters to represent numbers, expressions, and equations in algebra. 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.

T1  - A Pit-Stop at the Square Shop Isn't Bad at All
AN  - 1826533702; EJ1096684
AB  - Selecting the "better" solution to a problem between the first one that comes to mind and the alternative that may follow is not a "fait-accompli". 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.

T1  - Estimation in the Primary School: Developing a Key Mathematical Skill for Life
AN  - 1826533119; EJ1096521
AB  - Very recently, in the "Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers (AAMT)/Australian Industry Group quantitative report" (2014), concerns were raised that school mathematics is lacking real world application. This report highlighted the gaps between school mathematics and the requirements of the workplace. After interviewing industry representatives to find out what mathematical skills were needed in the workplace, estimation was identified as an essential skill. In this article, the author discusses the importance of computational estimation in "real life" contexts and how the language of precision and estimation can assist students to understand the usefulness of estimation.

T1  - Using Untouchables to Make Arithmetic Structures Touchable: The Case of the Associative Rule
AN  - 1826533057; EJ1096524
AB  - There is a call for enabling students to use a range of efficient mental and written strategies when solving addition and subtraction problems. 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.

T1  - Power Patterns: Extending Number Sense through Last Digit Investigations
AN  - 1826532065; EJ1096467
AB  - Problems sourced from national and international competitions such as the Australian Mathematics Competition are often used effectively as enrichment and/or extension activities for high achieving students. 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.

T1  - Creating Words in Mathematics
AN  - 1826532032; EJ1096486
AB  - A "National Numeracy Report" and the Australian Curriculum (2014) have recognised the importance of language in mathematics. 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.

T1  - Traffic Light Report Provides a New Technique for Assurance of Learning
AN  - 1826532011; EJ1096725
AB  - The Traffic Light Report (TLR) project is an educational intervention designed for pharmacy undergraduates. 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.

AB  - This article proposes a framework for classroom teachers to use in making pedagogical decisions regarding which mathematical materials (concrete and digital) to use, when they might be most appropriately used, and why. 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.

T1  - Improving Students' Interpersonal Skills through Experiential Small Group Learning
AN  - 1826531937; EJ1096720
AB  - Health professional students must be equipped with the skills necessary to interact with patients. 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.

T1  - Online Lecture Recordings and Lecture Attendance: Investigating Student Preferences in a Large First Year Psychology Course
AN  - 1826529656; EJ1096715
AB  - While blended learning has been around for some time, the interplay between lecture recordings, lecture attendance and grades needs further examination particularly for large cohorts of over 1,000 students in 500 seat lecture theatres. 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.

T1  - Good CoP: What Makes a Community of Practice Successful?
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.

T1  - Integrating Literature into the Teaching of Mathematics
AN  - 1826529599; EJ1096697
AB  - Mathematics teachers are frequently looking for real-life applications and meaningful integration of mathematics and other content areas. 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).

T1  - Why the Golden Proportion Really Is Golden
AN  - 1826529449; EJ1096686
AB  - Why do certain objects or images such as a piece of furniture, an item of clothing, or even a flower appear visually attractive? 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.

T1  - Bad Attitudes: Why Design Students Dislike Teamwork
AN  - 1826529261; EJ1096711
AB  - Positive experiences of teamwork in design contexts significantly improve students' satisfaction with teaching and their attitudes towards future teamwork. 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.

T1  - Dividing Fractions: A Pedagogical Technique
AN  - 1826529250; EJ1096703
AB  - When dividing one fraction by a second fraction, invert, that is, flip the second fraction, then multiply it by the first fraction. 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.

T1  - Good Concrete Activity Is Good Mental Activity
AN  - 1826529042; EJ1096473
AB  - Early years mathematics classrooms can be colourful, exciting, and challenging places of learning. 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.

T1  - Using Challenging Tasks for Formative Assessment on Quadratic Functions with Senior Secondary Students
AN  - 1826528613; EJ1096485
AB  - Senior secondary mathematics students who develop conceptual understanding that moves them beyond "rules without reasons" to connections between related concepts are in a strong place to tackle the more difficult mathematics application problems. 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.

T1  - Multiplicative Thinking: Much More than Knowing Multiplication Facts and Procedures
AN  - 1826528541; EJ1096487
AB  - Multiplicative thinking is accepted as a "big idea" of mathematics that underpins important mathematical concepts such as fraction understanding, proportional reasoning, and algebraic thinking. 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.

T1  - Simultaneous hydrogenation and acid-catalyzed conversion of the biomass-derived furans in solvents with distinct polarities
AN  - 1811905611; PQ0003481843
AB  - Furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), the two typical biomass-derived furans, can be converted into biofuels and value-added chemicals via hydrogenation or acid catalysis or both. 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.

T1  - Marine wildlife entanglement and the Seal the Loop initiative: a comparison of two free-choice learning approaches on visitor knowledge, attitudes and conservation behaviour
AN  - 1808730567; PQ0003341902
AB  - Marine debris poses a significant threat to marine wildlife. 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.

T1  - Direct electrochemical formation of nanostructured amorphous Co(OH)2 on gold electrodes with enhanced activity for the oxygen evolution reaction
AN  - 1808701951; PQ0003482423
AB  - The oxides of cobalt have recently been shown to be highly effective electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) under alkaline conditions. 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.

T1  - A Pilot Study of Smoking Cessation within an Iranian Addiction Recovery Community
AN  - 1784150830
AB  - Tobacco dependence is ubiquitous among people seeking treatment for other substance use disorders, compromises recovery outcomes, and elevates long-term morbidity and mortality of people recovering from other addictions. 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.

T1  - Revival of the use of ultrasound in screening for appendicitis in young adult men
AN  - 1776661452; PQ0002779544
AB  - Purpose Our primary aim was to evaluate the use of ultrasound (US) as an initial screening test for diagnosing appendicitis in young adult men. 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. J Clin Ultrasound 44:3-11, 2016

AB  - Sap flow measurement techniques have been successfully applied in ecohydrological studies as they can be used to estimate watershed transpiration. 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.

T1  - Influence of grazing and vegetation type on post-fire floristic and lifeform composition in Tasmania, Australia
AN  - 1765972172; PQ0002585131
AB  - Fire and herbivory are important disturbances in vegetation globally. 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.

T1  - Precise determination of aquatic plant wet mass using a salad spinner
AN  - 1765966416; PQ0002528471
AB  - The reliable assessment of macrophyte biomass is fundamental for ecological research and management of freshwater ecosystems. 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. [Traduit par la Redaction]

T1  - Bycatch and strandings programs as ecological indicators for data-limited cetaceans
AN  - 1753467933; PQ0002418042
AB  - An integrated approach of using strandings and bycatch data may provide an indicator of long-term trends for data-limited cetaceans. 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).

T1  - Biodiesel exhaust-induced cytotoxicity and proinflammatory mediator production in human airway epithelial cells
AN  - 1753464606; PQ0002420783
AB  - Increasing use of biodiesel has prompted research into the potential health effects of biodiesel exhaust exposure. 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.

T1  - Genetic polymorphism of CYP1A2 but not total or free teriflunomide concentrations is associated with leflunomide cessation in rheumatoid arthritis.
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.

T1  - Impact of coagulation as a pre-treatment for UVC/H2O2-biological activated carbon treatment of a municipal wastewater reverse osmosis concentrate.
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.

T1  - Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Conventionally Fractionated Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy versus Altered Fractionation Radiotherapy Alone in the Definitive Management of Locoregionally Advanced Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
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.

T1  - Effects of urea formulations, application rates and crop residue retention on N2O emissions from sugarcane fields in Australia
AN  - 1751208734; PQ0002343016
AB  - High fertiliser nitrogen (N) application rates, crop residue (trash) retention and the wet and warm climatic conditions in sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) cropping may favour nitrous oxide (N2O) production in soil. 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.

T1  - Unplanned oncology admissions within 14 days of non-surgical discharge: a retrospective study.
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.

T1  - Need-Tested Benefits: Estimated Eligibility and Benefit Receipt by Families and Individuals
AN  - 1767320469; 2011-910387
AB  - While information is available on the number of people who receive benefits from individual programs, it is challenging to examine how these programs interact and the cumulative benefits families receive. 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).

T1  - Analysis of the Tax Exclusion for Canceled Mortgage Debt Income
AN  - 1767320113; 2011-910390
AB  - A home foreclosure, mortgage default, or mortgage modification has important tax consequences. 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.

T1  - The Presidential Nominating Process and the National Party Conventions, 2016: Frequently Asked Questions
AN  - 1767320108; 2011-910388
AB  - This report provides answers to frequently asked questions about the presidential nominating process, including how the delegates to the national conventions are chosen, the differences between a caucus and a primary, national party rules changes for 2016, and the national conventions themselves. 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. This report discusses selected aspects of the convoluted process of choosing delegates in the primaries and caucuses and the national conventions. Tables, Figures.

AB  - In its sex discrimination decisions, the US Supreme Court not only has defined the applicability of the equal protection guarantees of the Constitution and the nondiscriminatory policies of federal statutes, but also has rejected the use of gender stereotypes and has continued to recognize the discriminatory effect of gender hostility. This report focuses on sex discrimination challenges based on the equal protection guarantees of the Fourteenth and Fifth Amendments; the prohibition against employment discrimination in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; and the prohibition against sex discrimination in education in Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments.

AB  - Recent data breaches at major US retailers have placed a spotlight on the security of electronic personal information stored by corporations and other private entities. This report describes the common elements of federal proposals and also state laws that apply to a data breach. It addresses two legal issues that may arise in consideration of new legislation about data security and breach notification and various forms of federal preemption. It also evaluates how a reviewing court might apply these preemption principles to federal proposals to determine which state laws would be superseded. Tables.

AN  - 1767320266; 2011-910392
AB  - Several western states are experiencing extreme or exceptional drought conditions. 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.

AN  - 1767320229; 2011-910394

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 2013 revisions to the PM NAAQS gained considerable congressional oversight. Tables, Figures, Appendixes.

AB  - On January 15, 2013, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a final rule revising the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for particulate matter (PM). 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.

T1  - The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program: Overview and Impact of the Affordable Care Act
AN  - 1767320366; 2011-910397
AB  - The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program offers federal funds to metropolitan areas and states to assist with health care costs and support services for individuals and families affected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). In 2012, the Ryan White Program served more than half a million low-income people with HIV/AIDS; 28% of those served were uninsured, and an additional 59% were underinsured. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA), as amended, contains general provisions to increase access to health insurance and has the potential to increase coverage for people living with HIV/AIDS.

T1  - The Air Force Aviation Investment Challenge
AN  - 1767319986; 2011-910362
AB  - The US Air Force is in the midst of an ambitious aviation modernization program, driven by its aging aircraft fleets. 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.

T1  - Employer Wellness Programs and Genetic Information: Frequently Asked Questions
AN  - 1767319086; 2011-910398
AB  - Since the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA), as amended, employers have increasingly established employer wellness programs in an effort to support better health among their employees and reduce their own health care costs. 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. Tables.

T1  - Effect of Corinthian Colleges' Closure on Student Financial Aid: Frequently Asked Questions
AN  - 1767320548; 2011-910400
AB  - Corinthian Colleges, Inc. (CCI), the parent company of several private, for-profit institutions of higher education, operated more than 100 institutions, with total enrollments of approximately 72,000 students who annually received roughly 1.4 billion dollars in federal financial aid. In 2014, the Department of Education limited CCI's access to federal student aid in response to CCI's failure to address concerns. To avoid abrupt closure of its schools, CCI agreed to sell or 'teach-out' its educational programs. This report answers frequently asked questions regarding the effect of the sale and closure of schools and its impact on former CCI students' student aid. Tables.

T1  - Country-of-Origin Labeling for Foods and the WTO Trade Dispute on Meat Labeling
AN  - 1767319748; 2011-910408
AB  - Since the final rule to implement country-of-origin labeling (COOL) took effect in March 2009, most retail food stores have been required to inform consumers about the country of origin of fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, shellfish, peanuts, pecans, macadamia nuts, ginseng, and ground and muscle cuts of beef, pork, lamb, chicken, and goat. Canada and Mexico challenged US COOL in the World Trade Organization (WTO), arguing that COOL has a trade-distorting impact by reducing the value and number of cattle and hogs shipped to the US market, thus violating WTO trade commitments.

AB  - After the 2008-2009 financial crisis, Congress passed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank Act), a package of regulatory reform. Some provisions mandated new securities regulations that expanded required corporate disclosures to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the investing public. Some Members of Congress have characterized provisions of the act, including several requiring additional corporate disclosures, as regulatorily excessive. Congress is considering securities legislation that in many instances would extend the 2012 Jumpstart Our Businesses Startup (JOBS) Act's focus on corporate regulatory relief. Tables.

AB  - The budget resolution reflects an agreement between the House and Senate on a budgetary plan for the upcoming fiscal year. In the absence of agreement on a budget resolution, Congress may employ alternative legislative tools typically referred to as 'deeming resolutions,' because they are deemed to serve in place of an annual budget resolution for the purposes of establishing enforceable budget levels for the upcoming fiscal year. This report covers the use of deeming resolutions in years when the House and Senate did not agree on a budget resolution. Tables, Figures.

AB  - Ten of the past 11 Congresses, covering the 103rd Congress through the 113th Congress, have concluded with a lame duck session. This report provides information on the enactment of annual appropriations acts in the years that lame duck sessions occurred between 1994 and 2014. Between calendar years 1994 and 2012, lame duck sessions have in some instances afforded Congress an opportunity to complete action on regular appropriations for a fiscal year. In other instances, lame duck sessions played little or no role in this regard, as action on regular appropriations was completed well before or after a lame duck session. Tables, Figures.

T1  - Challenges in field monitoring of energy performance of air conditioners
AN  - 1776660743; PQ0002367192
AB  - Experimental work could be conducted in either laboratory or at field site. Generally, the laboratory experiments are carried out in an artificial setting and with a highly controlled environment. By contrast, the field experiments often take place in a natural setting, subject to the influences of many uncontrolled factors. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully assess the possible limitations and appropriateness of an experiment before embarking on it. In this paper, a case study of field monitoring of the energy performance of air conditioners is presented. Significant challenges facing the experimental work are described. Lessons learnt from this case study are also discussed. In particular, it was found that ongoing analysis of the monitoring data and the correction of abnormal issues are two of the keys for a successful field test program. It was also shown that the installation of monitoring systems could have a significant impact on the accuracy of the data being collected. Before monitoring system was set up to collect monitoring data, it is recommended that an initial analysis of sample monitored data should be conducted to make sure that the monitoring data can achieve the expected precision. In the case where inevitable inherent errors were induced from the installation of field monitoring systems, appropriate remediation may need to be developed and implemented for the improved accuracy of the estimation of results. Ongoing analysis of monitoring data and correction of any abnormal issues would be the key to a successful field test program.

T1  - Tradable rights in conservation: useful policy tool or industry in themselves?
AN  - 1770288743; PQ0002258366
AB  - In recent decades, markets have become widely used for environmental resources. Prime examples include water rights where trade enables water to be allocated to the most profitable crops, and allows farmers more flexibility to cope with climatic variability (Bjornlund ). Similarly, tradable rights for air pollution minimize the cost of meeting air quality targets (Stavins ). The same principles can potentially be widely applied to biodiversity conservation. In this issue, we are fortunate to have a short but diverse series of papers on tradable rights in conservation.

T1  - Cultural and Economic Motivation of Pig Raising Practices in Bangladesh
AN  - 1762365078; PQ0002514158
AB  - The interactions that pig raisers in Bangladesh have with their pigs could increase the risk of zoonotic disease transmission. Since raising pigs is a cultural taboo to Muslims, we aimed at understanding the motivation for raising pigs and resulting practices that could pose the risk of transmitting disease from pigs to humans in Bangladesh, a predominantly Muslim country. These understandings could help identify acceptable strategies to reduce the risk of disease transmission from pigs to people. To achieve this objective, we conducted 34 in-depth interviews among pig herders and backyard pig raisers in eight districts of Bangladesh. Informants explained that pig raising is an old tradition, embedded in cultural and religious beliefs and practices, the primary livelihood of pig herders, and a supplemental income of backyard pig raisers. To secure additional income, pig raisers sell feces, liver, bile, and other pig parts often used as traditional medicine. Pig raisers have limited economic ability to change the current practices that may put them at risk of exposure to diseases from their pigs. An intervention that improves their financial situation and reduces the risk of zoonotic disease may be of interest to pig raisers.

T1  - Revisiting the Task-Capability Interface model for incorporating human factors into car-following models
AN  - 1753473397; PQ0002346887
AB  - Human factors such as distraction, fatigue, alcohol and drug use are generally ignored in car-following (CF) models. Such ignorance overestimates driver capability and leads to most CF models' inability in realistically explaining human driving behaviors. This paper proposes a novel car-following modeling framework by introducing the difficulty of driving task measured as the dynamic interaction between driving task demand and driver capability. Task difficulty is formulated based on the famous Task-Capability Interface (TCI) model, which explains the motivations behind driver's decision making. The proposed method is applied to enhance two popular CF models: Gipps' model and IDM, and named as TDGipps and TDIDM respectively. The behavioral soundness of TDGipps and TDIDM are discussed and their stabilities are analyzed. Moreover, the enhanced models are calibrated with the vehicle trajectory data, and validated to explain both regular and human factor influenced CF behavior (which is distraction caused by hand-held mobile phone conversation in this paper). Both the models show better performance than their predecessors, especially in presence of human factors.

T1  - Prioritizing climate change adaptation options for iconic marine species
AN  - 1751216642; PQ0002365944
AB  - Adaptation options in response to climate impact scenarios for marine mammals and seabirds were developed based on the IPCC vulnerability framework. Under this framework, vulnerability to the physical effects of climate change can be reduced by adaptation options that reduce exposure of individuals, reduce the sensitivity of individuals, and increase the adaptive capacity of individual/species to cope with climate change. We evaluated options in each vulnerability category with three screening tools collectively forming an approach we term sequential adaptation prioritization for species. These tools were designed to evaluate (i) technical aspects (cost-benefit-risk, CBR), (ii) institutional barriers, and (iii) potential social acceptability. The CBR tool identified which adaptation options were high cost and low benefit, might be discarded, and which were high benefit and low cost, might be rapidly implemented (depending on risk). Low cost and low benefit options might not be pursued, while those that are high cost, but high benefit deserve further attention. Even with technical merit, adaptation options can fail because of institutional problems with implementation. The second evaluation tool, based on the conceptual framework on barriers to effective climate adaptation, identifies where barriers may exist, and leads to strategies for overcoming them. Finally, adaptation options may not be acceptable to society at large, or resisted by vocal opponents or groups. The social acceptability tool identifies potentially contested options, which may be useful to managers charged with implementing adaptation options. Social acceptability, as scored by experts, differed from acceptability scored by the public, indicating the need to involve the public in assessing this aspect. Scores from each tool for each scenario can be combined to rank the suite of adaptation options. This approach provides useful tools to assist conservation managers in selecting from a wide range of adaptation strategies; the methodology is also applicable to other conservation sectors.

T1  - Effect of Time-Temperature Abuse on Microbiological and Physiochemical Properties of Barramundi (Lates calcarifer, Bloch) Fillets
AN  - 1751209034; PQ0002407188
AB  - The effect of time-temperature abuse on quality and shelf life of barramundi (Lates calcarifer) fillets using microbiological and physiochemical tools was investigated. Fillets were subjected to three different pre-blast freezing (PBF) temperatures viz. 5, 0 and -20C for 0h, 1h, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 days, after which fillets were exposed to -80C for 8h and then stored at -20C for 20 days. Color and rheological parameter values changed as PBF time period progressed at each temperature tested. There was minimal change to the microbiological and physiochemical properties of fillets stored at -20C from 0h to 16 days. Total viable count, total volatile base nitrogen, pH, protein, color and rheological parameters of fillets that underwent PBF temperature period at 0 and 5C for 16 days deteriorated significantly compared with those treated at -20C. The shelf life of PBF barramundi fillets at 0 and 5C was 8 days. Practical Applications After slaughter, the fish are likely to be exposed to inconsistent storage conditions (temperature abuse) for a limited period during transportation and subsequent storage. This temperature abuse may accelerate quality and shelf life changes in fillets. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of different pre-blast freezing temperature periods and temperatures (time-temperature index).

T1  - The value of adapting to climate change in Australian wheat farm systems: farm to cross-regional scale
AN  - 1746895436; PQ0002322261
AB  - Wheat is one of the main grains produced across the globe and wheat yields are sensitive to changes in climate. Australia is a major exporter of wheat, and variations in its national production influence trade supplies and global markets. We evaluated the effect of climate change in 2030 compared to a baseline period (1980-1999) by upscaling from farm to the national level. Wheat yields and gross margins under current and projected climates were assessed using current technology and management practices and then compared with 'best adapted' yield achieved by adjustments to planting date, nitrogen fertilizer, and available cultivars for each region. For the baseline climate (1980-1999), there was a potential yield gap modelled as optimized adaptation gave potential up scaled yields (tonne/ha) and gross margins (AUD$/ha) of 17% and 33% above the baseline, respectively. In 2030 and at Australian wheatbelt level, climate change impact projected to decline wheat yield by 1%. For 2030, national wheat yields were simulated to decrease yields by 1% when using existing technology and practices but increase them by 18% assuming optimal adaptation. Hence, nationally at 2030 for a fully-adapted wheat system, yield increased by 1% and gross margin by 0.3% compared to the fully adapted current climate baseline. However, there was substantial regional variation with median yields and gross margins decreasing in 55% of sites. Full adaptation of farm systems under current climate is not expected, and so this will remain an on-going challenge. However, by 2030 there will be a greater opportunity to increase the overall water use and nitrogen efficiencies of the Australian wheat belt, mostly resulting from elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations.

T1  - Drought and the rebound effect: a Murray-Darling Basin example
AN  - 1746894559; PQ0002316378
AB  - Droughts are natural hazards, to which irrigators must adapt. Climate change is expected to increase both the frequency and severity of future droughts. A common adaptation is investment in water-efficient technology. However, increased efficiency can paradoxically result in rebound effects: higher resource demand among consumptive users, and lower flow benefits for environmental users. Under an assumption of increasing future drought conditions, we examine anticipated rebound effect impacts on environmental and private irrigator water availability/use outcomes from current water efficiency-centric policy in Australia's Murray-Darling Basin. We determine that rebound effects for environmental and private irrigation interests are likely. Our results identify greater technological change and higher consumptive land and water demand in northern Basin annual production systems, as irrigators switch to perennial cropping systems under subsidization incentives. Policy incentives to encourage water use efficiency paradoxically reduce environmental flow volumes on average. We find that environmental policy objectives will only be achieved when water is not a binding production constraint, typically in wet states of nature.

T1  - Participatory approaches to address climate change: perceived issues affecting the ability of South East Queensland graziers to adapt to future climates
AN  - 1732838224; PQ0002229885
AB  - We used a participatory approach and a rural livelihoods framework to explore the knowledge and capacity of southeast Queensland graziers to adapt to climate change. After being presented with information on climate change projections, participants identified biophysical and socio-economic opportunities and challenges to adaptation. Graziers identified key opportunities as components of resilience (incremental change), and in many cases were options that they had some knowledge of either from their own region or elsewhere in the grazing industry. The major constraint to adaptation was the lack of financial capital: with low profitability of the industry and high land costs restricting their capacity to diversify and exploit economies of scale. These constraints were exacerbated by the pressure many graziers experienced from the demand for land as a result of urban expansion. While the focus of the workshop was on the impact of climate change and capacity to adapt, many of the issues raised by graziers were pressures not solely related to climate change. Adaptation needs to be considered in light of the appropriate level (resilience-transition-transformation) and spatial scale (field to region) required to tackle the issues identified. Policy needs to support good natural resource management, rural amenity, and food and fibre production close to urban population and markets in the face of urban encroachment.

AB  - The November 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris have crystallized concerns among some policymakers in the US about admitting Syrian refugees. Questions have been raised about the admission process, particularly the security vetting procedures. Some policymakers have urged the Obama Administration to stop admitting Syrian refugees for now, and a number of governors have expressed an unwillingness to accept Syrian refugees in their states. To assist Congress in addressing issues related to Syrian refugees and US refugee policy generally, this report details the US refugee admissions process and the placement and resettlement of arriving refugees in the US.

T1  - Age and geochemistry of magmatism on the oceanic Wallaby Plateau and implications for the opening of the Indian Ocean
AN  - 1808379554; PQ0002347465
AB  - The temporal relationship between tectonic and volcanic activity on passive continental margins immediately before and after the initiation of mid-ocean ridge spreading is poorly understood because of the scarcity of volcanic samples on which to perform isotope geochronology. We present the first accurate geochronological constraints from a suite of volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks dredged from the 70,000 km super(2) submerged Wallaby Plateau situated on the Western Australian passive margin. Plagioclase super(40)Ar/ super(39)Ar and zircon U-Pb sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe ages indicate that a portion of the plateau formed at ca. 124 Ma. These ages are at least 6 m.y. younger than the oldest oceanic crust in adjacent abyssal plains (minimum = 130 Ma). Geochemical data indicate that the Wallaby Plateau volcanic samples are enriched tholeiitic basalt, similar to continental flood basalts, including the spatially and temporally proximal Bunbury Basalt in southwestern Australia. Thus, the Wallaby Plateau volcanism could be regarded as a (small) flood basalt event on the order of 10 super(4)-10 super(5) km super(3). We suggest that magma could not erupt prior to 124 Ma because of the lack of space adjacent to the plateau. Eruption was made possible at 124 Ma via the opening of the Indian Ocean during the breakup of Greater India and Australia along the Wallaby-Zenith Fracture Zone. The scale of volcanism and the temporal proximity to breakup challenges the prevailing theory that the Western Australian margin formed as a volcanic passive margin. Given that the volume of volcanism is too small for typical flood basalts associated with volcanic passive margins, we suggest that the two end members, magma-poor and volcanic passive margins, should rather be treated as a continuum.

T1  - Modelling combined effect of chloramine and copper on ammonia-oxidizing microbial activity using a biostability approach
AN  - 1746882805; PQ0002318932
AB  - Continuous and batch laboratory experiments were used to evaluate the combined effects of copper and chloramine on ammonia oxidizing microbes present in otherwise high nitrifying water samples. The experimental data were analyzed using a biostability concept and quantified with the biostable residual concentratrion (BRC) of monochloramine, or the concentration that prevents the onset of nitrification. In the batch experiments, copper dosing greater than or equal to 0.25 mg-Cu L-1 resulted in complete inhibition of nitrification, and a lower copper dosing (0.1 mg-Cu L-1) delayed nitrification. The BRC was systematically lowered with the addition of copper. For example, a free-ammonium concentration of 0.1 mg-N L-1 had a BRC of 0.73 mg-Cl2 L-1 with no Cu, but addition of 0.1 mg-Cu L-1 lowered the BRC to 0.16 mg-Cl2 L-1, while addition of 0.25 mg-Cu L-1 eliminated the need to add chloramine (BRC = 0). A non-competitive inhibition model fit the experimental data well with a copper threshold of 0.044 mg-Cu L-1 and can be used to estimate Cu doses needed to prevent nitrification based on the chloramine concentration. Full scale systems applications need further study.

T1  - Seawater intrusion in fractured coastal aquifers: A preliminary numerical investigation using a fractured Henry problem
AN  - 1735921258; PQ0002261148
AB  - Despite that fractured coastal aquifers are widespread, the influence of fracture characteristics on seawater intrusion (SWI) has not been explored in previous studies. This research uses numerical modelling in a first step towards understanding the influence of fracture orientation, location and density on the extent of seawater and accompanying patterns of groundwater discharge in an idealised coastal aquifer. Specifically, aquifers containing single fractures or networks of regularly spaced fractures are studied using modified forms of the Henry SWI benchmark problem. The applicability of equivalent porous media (EPM) models for representing simple fracture networks in steady-state simulations of SWI is tested. The results indicate that the influence of fractures on SWI is likely to be mixed, ranging from enhancement to reduction in seawater extent and the width of the mixing zone. For the conceptual models considered here, vertical fractures in contact with the seawater wedge increase the width of the mixing zone, whereas vertical fractures inland of the wedge have minimal impact on the seawater distribution. Horizontal fractures in the lower part of the aquifer force the wedge seaward, whereas horizontal fractures located within the zone of freshwater discharge enhance the wedge. Inclined fractures roughly parallel to the seawater-freshwater interface increase the landward extent of seawater and fractures perpendicular to the interface inhibit the wedge. The results show that EPM models are likely inadequate for inferring salinity distributions in most of the fractured cases, although the EPM approach may be suitable for orthogonal fracture networks if fracture density is high and appropriate dispersivity values can be determined.

T1  - Cadmium, lead, and zinc mobility and plant uptake in a mine soil amended with sugarcane straw biochar.
AN  - 1735329617; 26146374
AB  - Accumulation of heavy metals in unconsolidated soils can prove toxic to proximal environments, if measures are not taken to stabilize soils. One way to minimize the toxicity of metals in soils is the use of materials capable of immobilizing these contaminants by sorption. Biochar (BC) can retain large amounts of heavy metals due to, among other characteristics, its large surface area. In the current experiment, sugarcane-straw-derived biochar, produced at 700 °C, was applied to a heavy-metal-contaminated mine soil at 1.5, 3.0, and 5.0% (w/w). Jack bean and Mucuna aterrima were grown in pots containing a mine contaminated soil and soil mixed with BC. Pore water was sampled to assess the effects of biochar on zinc solubility, while soils were analyzed by DTPA extraction to confirm available metal concentrations. The application of BC decreased the available concentrations of Cd, Pb, and Zn in the mine contaminated soil leading to a consistent reduction in the concentration of Zn in the pore water. Amendment with BC reduced plant uptake of Cd, Pb, and Zn with the jack bean uptaking higher amounts of Cd and Pb than M. aterrima. This study indicates that biochar application during mine soil remediation could reduce plant concentrations of heavy metals. Coupled with this, symptoms of heavy metal toxicity were absent only in plants growing in pots amended with biochar. The reduction in metal bioavailability and other modifications to the substrate induced by the application of biochar may be beneficial to the establishment of a green cover on top of mine soil to aid remediation and reduce risks.

T1  - Organic compounds leached from fast pyrolysis mallee leaf and bark biochars.
AN  - 1713943382; 25434266
AB  - Characterization of organic compounds leached from biochars is essential in assessing the possible toxicity of the biochar to the soils' biota. In this study the nature of the leached organic compounds from Mallee biochars, produced from pyrolysis of Mallee leaf and bark in a fluidised-bed pyrolyser at 400 and 580°C was investigated. Light bio-oil compounds and aromatic organic compounds were investigated. The 'bio-oil like' light compounds from leaf and bark biochars 'surfaces were obtained after leaching the chars with a solvent, suitable to dissolve the respective bio-oils. GC/MS was implemented to investigate the leachates. Phenolics, which are potentially harmful toxins, were detected and their concentration shown to be dependent on the char's origin and the char production temperature. Further, to simulate biochars amendment to soils, the chars were leached with water. The water-leached aromatic compounds from leaf and bark biochars were characterized using UV-fluorescence spectroscopy. Those results suggested that biochars contain leachable compounds of which the nature and amount is dependent on the biomass feedstock, pyrolysis temperature and leaching time.

T1  - Connecting soundscape to landscape: Which acoustic index best describes landscape configuration?
AN  - 1709172053; PQ0001903641
AB  - Soundscape assessment has been proposed as a remote ecological monitoring tool for measuring biodiversity, but few studies have examined how soundscape patterns vary with landscape configuration and condition. The goal of our study was to examine a suite of published acoustic indices to determine whether they provide comparable results relative to varying levels of landscape fragmentation and ecological condition in nineteen forest sites in eastern Australia. Our comparison of six acoustic indices according to time of day revealed that two indices, the acoustic complexity and the bioacoustic index, presented a similar pattern that was linked to avian song intensity, but was not related to landscape and biodiversity attributes. The diversity indices, acoustic entropy and acoustic diversity, and the normalized difference soundscape index revealed high nighttime sound, as well as a dawn and dusk chorus. These indices appear to be sensitive to nocturnal biodiversity which is abundant at night in warm, subtropical environments. We argue that there is need to better understand temporal partitioning of the soundscape by specific taxonomic groups, and this should involve integrated research on amphibians, insects and birds during a 24h cycle. The three indices that best connected the soundscape with landscape characteristics, ecological condition and bird species richness were acoustic entropy, acoustic evenness and the normalized difference soundscape index. This study has demonstrated that remote soundscape assessment can be implemented as an ecological monitoring tool in fragmented Australian forest landscapes. However, further investigation should be dedicated to refining and/or combining existing acoustic indices and also to determine if these indices are appropriate in other landscapes and for other survey purposes.

T1  - A comparative study of coagulation, granular- and powdered-activated carbon for the removal of perfluorooctane sulfonate and perfluorooctanoate in drinking water treatment
AN  - 1753512825; PQ0002012338
AB  - Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) are persistent organic pollutants in the environment and their occurrence causes toxicological effects on humans. We examined different conventional coagulant treatments such as alum, ferric chloride and polyaluminium chloride in removing these compounds. These were then compared with a natural coagulant (Moringa oleifera). We also investigated the powdered-activated carbon (PAC) and granular-activated carbon (GAC) for removing these compounds. At an initial dose of 5mg/L, polyaluminium chloride led to a higher reduction of PFOS/PFOA compared with alum which in turn was higher than ferric. The removal efficiency increased with the increase in coagulant dose and decrease in pH. M. oleifera was very effective in reducing PFOS and PFOA than conventional coagulants, with a reduction efficiencies of 65% and 72%, respectively, at a dose of 30mg/L. Both PAC and GAC were very effective in reducing these compounds than coagulations. PAC led to a higher reduction in PFOS and PFOA than GAC due to its greater surface area and shorter internal diffusion distances. The addition of PAC (10 min contact time) with coagulation (at 5mg/L dosage) significantly increased the removal efficiency, and the maximum removal efficiency was for M. oleifera with 98% and 94% for PFOS and PFOA, respectively. The reduction efficiency of PFOS/PFOA was reduced with the increase in dissolved organic concentration due to the adsorption competition between organic molecules and PFOS/PFOA.

AN  - 1767319756; 2011-910364
AB  - The M-1 Abrams Tank, the M-2/M-3 Bradley Fighting Vehicle (BFV), and the M-1126 Stryker Combat Vehicle are the centerpieces of the Army's Armored Brigade Combat Teams (ABCTs) and Stryker Brigade Combat Teams (SBCTs). In addition to the military effectiveness of these vehicles, Congress is also concerned with the economic aspect of Abrams, Bradley, and Stryker recapitalization and modernization. Due to force structure cuts and lack of Foreign Military Sales (FMS) opportunities, Congress has expressed a great deal of concern with the health of the domestic armored combat vehicle industrial base.

T1  - Lipid-PEG conjugates sterically stabilize and reduce the toxicity of phytantriol-based lyotropic liquid crystalline nanoparticles.
AN  - 1718913201; 26362479
AB  - Lyotropic liquid crystalline nanoparticle dispersions are of interest as delivery vectors for biomedicine. Aqueous dispersions of liposomes, cubosomes, and hexosomes are commonly stabilized by nonionic amphiphilic block copolymers to prevent flocculation and phase separation. Pluronic stabilizers such as F127 are commonly used; however, there is increasing interest in using chemically reactive stabilizers for enhanced functionalization and specificity in therapeutic delivery applications. This study has explored the ability of 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine conjugated with poly(ethylene glycol) (DSPE-PEGMW) (2000 Da ≤ MW ≤ 5000 Da) to engineer and stabilize phytantriol-based lyotropic liquid crystalline dispersions. The poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) moiety provides a tunable handle to the headgroup hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity to allow access to a range of nanoarchitectures in these systems. Specifically, it was observed that increasing PEG molecular weight promotes greater interfacial curvature of the dispersions, with liposomes (Lα) present at lower PEG molecular weight (MW 2000 Da), and a propensity for cubosomes (QII(P) or QII(D) phase) at MW 3400 Da or 5000 Da. In comparison to Pluronic F127-stabilized cubosomes, those made using DSPE-PEG3400 or DSPE-PEG5000 had enlarged internal water channels. The toxicity of these cubosomes was assessed in vitro using A549 and CHO cell lines, with cubosomes prepared using DSPE-PEG5000 having reduced cytotoxicity relative to their Pluronic F127-stabilized analogues.

T1  - The acoustic radiation impedance of a rectangular panel
AN  - 1778029317; PQ0002313963
AB  - This paper extends the definition of the one sided radiation impedance of a panel mounted in an infinite rigid baffle which was previously used by the authors so that it can be applied to all transverse velocity wave types on the panel rather than just to the possibly forced travelling plane transverse velocity waves considered previously by the authors. For the case of travelling plane waves on a rectangular panel with anechoic edge conditions, and for the case of standing waves on a rectangular panel with simply supported edge conditions, the equations resulting from one of the standard reductions from quadruple to double integrals are given. These double integral equations can be reduced to single integral equations, but the versions of these equations given in the literature did not always converge when used with adaptive integral routines and were sometimes slower than the double integral versions. This is because the terms in the integrands in the existing equations have singularities. Although these singularities cancel, they caused problems for the adaptive integral routines. This paper rewrites these equations in a form which removes the singularities and enables the integrals in these equations to be evaluated with adaptive integral routines. Approximate equations for the azimuthally averaged one sided radiation impedance of a rectangular panel mounted in an infinite baffle are given for all the cases considered in this paper and the values produced by these equations are compared with numerical calculations.

T1  - SHRIMP U-Pb geochronological constraints on the timing of the intra-Alcudian (Cadomian) angular unconformity in the Central Iberian Zone (Iberian Massif, Spain)
AN  - 1765972738; PQ0002152134
AB  - New SHRIMP U-Pb ages of detrital zircons from Neoproterozoic low-grade metasandstones of the Schist-Graywacke Complex (Central Iberian Zone, Iberian Massif) sampled just below and above the intra-Alcudian unconformity at two selected locations contribute to reconstruct the geodynamic evolution of Iberia during the Cadomian orogeny in the north Gondwana margin. The youngest zircons (i.e., maximum depositional age) in the Lower Alcudian are c. 580-576 Ma, while those in the Upper Alcudian are c. 555-552 Ma. The obtained remarkable time gap of about 21 Ma supports the existence of a tectonic event in between. This event resulted in moderate folding (without related foliation/metamorphism) that verticalized the Lower Alcudian previous to the deposition of the Upper Alcudian. Additional evidence of late Cadomian tectonothermal events elsewhere in Iberia also fit in the interval c. 560-550 Ma. Combined with other geological data, the most probable maximum depositional ages are c. 580-560 Ma for the Lower Alcudian (previous to the late Cadomian folding event) and c. 550-540 Ma for the Upper Alcudian (previous to the deposition of the overlying Pusian Group and Lower Cambrian sandstones and limestones). A comparison of the new zircon age spectra with possible source areas verifies recent studies that point to the Cadomian foreland in the north Gondwana continent affected by the Pan-African orogeny: the West African Craton and/or the Saharan Metacraton. Furthermore, ongoing Cadomian arc-related magmatism in Iberia (c. 605-545 Ma) could have contributed as a local zircon source. The end of the Cadomian activity is marked by a transient stage (ephemeral Lower Cambrian platform) which preceded widespread Cambro-Ordovician rifting of north Gondwana.

T1  - Storylines of institutional responses to climate change as a transformative stressor: the case of regional planning in South East Queensland, Australia
AN  - 1765966087; PQ0002513738
AB  - Institutional responses to climate change stresses through planning will require new and amended forms of governance. Institutional framing of change imperatives can significantly condition associated governance responses. This paper builds on scholarly conversations concerning the conceptual role of 'storylines' in shaping institutional responses to climate change through governance. I draw on conceptual perspectives of climate change as a 'transformative stressor', which can compel institutional transformation within planning. The concepts of storylines and transformative stressors are conceptually linked. The conceptual approach is applied to an empirical enquiry focused on the regional planning regime of South East Queensland (SEQ), Australia. In this paper I report on and examine three institutional storylines of responding to climate change through planning governance in SEQ. I conclude that the manifestation of climate change as a transformative stressor in SEQ prompted institutional transformation, leading to a dominant storyline focused on climate adaptation as an important facet of regional planning governance.

AB  - An integrated analysis of biological and geoscientific data collected from the nearshore marine environment of the Vestfold Hills was used to identify benthic habitats and associated communities and examine relationships between benthic community composition and environmental characteristics. A 48 km2 area was surveyed using a multibeam echosounder system (MBES) to produce high-resolution bathymetry and backscatter intensity maps of the seabed. Epibenthic community data and in situ observations of substrate composition and seafloor bedforms and features were obtained from towed underwater video. A comparison of top-down and bottom-up approaches to defining benthic habitats was used to improve understanding of the applicability of mapping methodologies. On a broad scale, both approaches produced habitat classes distinguished largely by geomorphic features, with substrate and depth identified as the main controls of benthic community composition, however, the relationship between benthic community composition and environmental characteristics is complex with many variables contributing to differences in community composition. The top-down approach was based on geomorphic units defined using abiotic characteristics and the assemblages identified within the geomorphic were very broad with only weak distinction between assemblages. Conversely, the bottom-up approach generated additional habitat classes, identified clear defining taxa for each class, greater distinction between the benthic communities, and allowed identification of additional environmental factors (i.e. sea ice cover) that influence benthic community distribution that are not discernible from geomorphic information alone. The habitat types identified and mapped using the bottom-up approach include shallow boulder fields and exposed bedrock which are dominated by dense macroalgae communities, and steep slopes, muddy basins and sandy plains which are dominated by invertebrate communities. The results indicate that a bottom-up approach is preferable for benthic habitat mapping, however, where detailed information is not available, geomorphic information provides a reasonable indication of the distribution of benthic habitats and communities. This study highlights the utility of multibeam sonar for interpretation of seafloor morphology and substrate and the multibeam data provide a physical framework for understanding benthic habitats and the distribution of benthic communities. This research provides the scientific context and spatial framework for managing the Vestfold Hills nearshore marine environment and provides a baseline for assessing environmental change.

T1  - Identifying indicators and essential variables for marine ecosystems
AN  - 1746880528; PQ0002313103
AB  - Identifying essential biological variables in marine ecosystems is harder than essential ocean variables because choices about the latter are guided by the needs of global oceanic models, and the number of candidate variables to choose from is much smaller. We present a process designed to assist managers identify biological indicators and essential variables for marine ecosystems, and demonstrate its application to Australia's Exclusive Economic Zone. The process begins with a spatially explicit description of key ecological systems and predicts how these systems are impacted by anthropogenic pressures. The process does not require experts to agree on the system's structure or the activities that threaten the ecosystem. Rather it defines a suite of pressure scenarios that accommodate uncertainty in these aspects, and seeks to identify indicators that are predicted to respond in a consistent fashion across these scenarios. When the process is applied at national or regional scales, essential biological variables emerge as the set of consistent indicators that are common to similar but spatially distinct systems.

T1  - Seasonal forecasting of tuna habitat in the Great Australian Bight
AN  - 1735924288; PQ0002314242
AB  - Commercial fishing involves locating fish in a variable environment, and a fisher's historical experience with environmental conditions and the influence on fish distribution underpins their economic efficiency. However, in many regions, changing environments are reducing the utility of this experience. In the Great Australian Bight, recent environmental changes have modified the summer distribution of southern bluefin tuna (SBT, Thunnus maccoyii). This has affected the timing and location of fishing activity and contributed to economic impacts, at the same time as international competition is lowering value of the catch. The SBT purse-seine fishery is managed under a strict quota, so catching more fish is not an option to reduce fixed costs; instead fish must be caught more efficiently in a changing environment. Following discussion with industry stakeholders, we developed a seasonal forecast system based on a three stage process. We first assessed needs through discussions with industry. We then developed a SBT habitat forecast system based on a seasonal environmental forecasting model (POAMA: the Predictive Ocean Atmosphere Model for Australia) coupled with a habitat preference model for SBT (developed using data from tagged fish). Based on a historical evaluation of the environmental forecasting model and the habitat model, we expect temperature-based habitat forecasts to have useful skill up to two months into the future during the months of interest. The final stage involved forecast delivery via an industry-specific website and engagement with stakeholders, which led to improved presentation and contextualization of the forecasts. The forecasts, which are updated daily, are now being used by SBT fishers and have proven a useful aid in their decision-making.

T1  - Impact of a nutrition award scheme on the food and nutrient intakes of 2- to 4-year-olds attending long day care
AN  - 1732837721; PQ0002022674
AB  - Early childhood settings are promising avenues to intervene to improve children's nutrition. Previous research has shown that a nutrition award scheme, Start Right - Eat Right (SRER), improves long day care centre policies, menus and eating environments. Whether this translates into improvements in children's dietary intake is unknown. The present study aimed to determine whether SRER improves children's food and nutrient intakes. Pre-post cohort study. Twenty long day care centres in metropolitan Adelaide, South Australia, Australia. Children aged 2-4 years (n 236 at baseline, n 232 at follow-up). Dietary intake (morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea) was assessed pre- and post-SRER implementation using the plate wastage method. Centre nutrition policies, menus and environments were evaluated as measures of intervention fidelity. Comparisons between baseline and follow-up were made using t tests. At follow-up, 80 % of centres were fully compliant with the SRER award criteria, indicating high scheme implementation and adoption. Intake increased for all core food groups (range: 0.2-0.4 servings/d, P<0.001) except for vegetable intake. Energy intake increased and improvements in intakes of eleven out of the nineteen nutrients evaluated were observed. SRER is effective in improving children's food and nutrient intakes at a critical time point when dietary habits and preferences are established and can inform future public health nutrition interventions in this setting.

T1  - Sediment source tracing with stratified sampling and weightings based on spatial gradients in soil erosion
AN  - 1722183105; PQ0002075787
AB  - Purpose: The results of sediment source tracing in large river catchments depend on defined sources being adequately represented by the sampling and in subsequent numerical analysis. We hypothesise that surface soil concentrations of fallout radionuclides caesium-137 ( super(137)Cs) and lead-210 excess ( super(210)Pb sub(ex)) are smaller at locations with higher soil erosion rate and that if this is not accounted for, then spatially random sampling gives a biased representation of surface soil delivered to rivers and biased source contribution estimates. Materials and methods: Surface soil was sampled across the Burdekin River basin in northeast Australia at 90 locations stratified by three classes of modelled soil erosion rate and analysed by gamma spectroscopy. Separate probability distributions (density functions) were fitted to the super(137)Cs concentrations of samples of each erosion class, of subsurface soil and of river sediment. Surface soil distributions were aggregated by weighting in proportion to the upstream area and mean erosion rate of each erosion class, so that the high erosion class contributed disproportionately to the tracer properties of the surface soil source. Source contributions were estimated using a Monte Carlo mixing model. Results and discussion: The mean surface soil concentrations of super(137)Cs and super(210)Pb sub(ex) were significantly different between soil erosion classes as hypothesised. Weighting surface soil from the high erosion class more heavily increased the estimated proportion of river sediment contributed from surface soil, by 35 % larger than if surface soil sampling was confined to low erosion areas. Stratified sampling and weighting by erosion rate is of greater importance in river basins with large gradients in soil erosion and where surface soil contributes substantially to river sediment. Surface soil contributed 6 % to fine sediment at the basin outlet and 0-14 % in major tributaries, which was somewhat lower than in a prior study probably due to recent above-average rainfall increasing vegetation ground cover. Conclusions: Surface soil sampling for source tracing using fallout radionuclides should be stratified by erosion rate. The tracer properties of high erosion areas should be weighted more heavily than low erosion areas in source mixing models. If comprehensive sampling cannot be afforded, then sampling should be biased towards more highly eroding areas. The approach should be considered for other source tracers whose properties may co-vary with soil erosion rate. Fine sediment delivered from the Burdekin River basin to the Great Barrier Reef lagoon in recent decades was predominantly derived from gully erosion, streambank erosion and rilled and scalded areas on hillslopes.

T1  - Effects of strain artefacts arising from a pre-defined callus domain in models of bone healing mechanobiology
AN  - 1722178985; PQ0002073376
AB  - Iterative computational models have been used to investigate the regulation of bone fracture healing by local mechanical conditions. Although their predictions replicate some mechanical responses and histological features, they do not typically reproduce the predominantly radial hard callus growth pattern observed in larger mammals. We hypothesised that this discrepancy results from an artefact of the models' initial geometry. Using axisymmetric finite element models, we demonstrated that pre-defining a field of soft tissue in which callus may develop introduces high deviatoric strains in the periosteal region adjacent to the fracture. These bone-inhibiting strains are not present when the initial soft tissue is confined to a thin periosteal layer. As observed in previous healing models, tissue differentiation algorithms regulated by deviatoric strain predicted hard callus forming remotely and growing towards the fracture. While dilatational strain regulation allowed early bone formation closer to the fracture, hard callus still formed initially over a broad area, rather than expanding over time. Modelling callus growth from a thin periosteal layer successfully predicted the initiation of hard callus growth close to the fracture site. However, these models were still susceptible to elevated deviatoric strains in the soft tissues at the edge of the hard callus. Our study highlights the importance of the initial soft tissue geometry used for finite element models of fracture healing. If this cannot be defined accurately, alternative mechanisms for the prediction of early callus development should be investigated.

T1  - Flower-like supramolecular self-assembly of phosphonic acid appended naphthalene diimide and melamine.
AN  - 1718076033; 26416382
AB  - Diverse supramolecular assemblies ranging from nanometres to micrometers of small aromatic π-conjugated functional molecules have attracted enormous research interest in light of their applications in optoelectronics, chemosensors, nanotechnology, biotechnology and biomedicines. Here we study the mechanism of the formation of a flower-shaped supramolecular structure of phosphonic acid appended naphthalene diimide with melamine. The flower-shaped assembly formation was visualised by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging, furthermore, XRD and DLS used to determined mode of aggregation. Characteristically, phosphonic acid-substituted at imide position of NDIs possess two important properties resulting in the formation of controlled flower-like nanostructures: (i) the aromatic core of the NDI which is designed to optimize the dispersive interactions (π-π stacking and van der Waals interactions) between the cores within a construct and (ii) phosphonic acid of NDI interact with malamine through molecular recognition i.e. strong hydrogen-bonding (H-bonding). We believe such arrangements prevent crystallization and favour the directional growth of flower-like nanostructure in 3D fashion. These works demonstrate that complex self-assembly can indeed be attained through hierarchical non-covalent interactions of two components. Furthermore, flower-like structures built from molecular recognition by these molecules indicate their potential in other fields if combined with other chemical entities.

T1  - Mechanistic Study on the Formation of Cl-/Br-/I-Trihalomethanes during Chlorination/Chloramination Combined with a Theoretical Cytotoxicity Evaluation.
AN  - 1712778628; 26280905
AB  - Chlorination followed by chloramination can be used to mitigate the formation of potentially toxic iodinated disinfection byproducts (I-DBPs) while controlling the formation of regulated chloro-bromo-DBPs (Cl-/Br-DBPs). Water samples containing dissolved organic matter (DOM) isolates were subjected to 3 disinfection scenarios: NH2Cl, prechlorination followed by ammonia addition, and HOCl alone. A theoretical cytotoxicity evaluation was carried out based on the trihalomethanes (THMs) formed. This study demonstrates that the presence of bromide not only enhances the yield and rate of iodate formation, it also increases the formation of brominated I-THM precursors. A shift in the speciation from CHCl2I to the more toxic CHBr2I, as well as increased iodine incorporation in THMs, was observed in the presence of bromide. For low bromide concentrations, a decrease in I-THM formation and theoretical cytotoxicity was achieved only for high prechlorination times, while for high bromide concentrations, a short prechlorination time enabled the full conversion of iodide to iodate. For low DOM concentrations or DOM with low reactivity, Br-/I-THMs were preferentially formed for short prechlorination times, inducing high cytotoxicity. However, for high chlorine exposures, the cytotoxicity induced by the formation of regulated THMs might outweigh the benefit of I-THM mitigation. For high DOM concentrations or DOM with higher reactivity, mixed I-THMs were formed together with high concentrations of regulated THMs. In this case, based on the cytotoxicity of the THMs formed, the use of NH2Cl is recommended.

T1  - Effect of Combined Microwave-Ultrasonic Pretreatment of Real Mixed Sludge on the Enhancement of Anaerobic Digester Performance
AN  - 1790964267; PQ0002908066
AB  - The anaerobic biodegradability of combined microwave-ultrasonic pretreated thickened excess activated sludge (PTEAS) mixed with raw primary sludge (PS) was investigated in this study. The pretreatment resulted in the enhancement of mesophilic anaerobic digester performance which in turn improved biogas production capacity and quality, total and volatile solid reduction, dewaterability, protein solubilisation and significant reduction of pathogens to produce class A biosolid. This study presented the results of two continuously stirred mesophilic anaerobic digesters charged with various proportions of a mixture of PTEAS and PS similar to the large-scale industrial practice. Digester 1 was charged with 75 % PTEAS and 25 % PS, while digester 2 was fed with 25 % PTEAS and 75 % PS. The methane production was 122 mL CH sub(4)/g total chemical oxygen demand for digester 2 after 20 days of anaerobic digestion. This amount further increased for both digesters with digestion time. The biogas quality in terms of methane to carbondioxide ratio (CH sub(4)/CO sub(2)) was significantly improved for digester 1 compared with digester 2 after 20 days of digestion. Volatile solid reduction of 76 and 57 % was achieved for digester 1 and digester 2 respectively after the same 20 days of digestion. The CH sub(4)/CO sub(2) ratio reached 2.2:1 and 1.1:1 after 20 days of digestion for digester 1 and digester 2, respectively. Higher percentage of PTEAS increases the digestion kinetics, the methane production capacity and the biogas quality. Furthermore, total coliform reduction of 84 and 44 % was achieved for digester 1 and digester 2 respectively after 22 days of digestion. Hydrolysis rate and biochemical methane production were improved for both digesters based on the results of Gompertz kinetic model and the hydrolysis rate constants as determined by model fitting of the experimental data.

T1  - Carbon microspheres supported cobalt catalysts for phenol oxidation with peroxymonosulfate
AN  - 1762117973; PQ0002174094
AB  - Heterogeneous catalytic oxidation of organic pollutants has been widely applied for wastewater treatment, in which the development of highly efficient catalysts is of critical importance. In this study, carbon microspheres supported cobalt catalysts (Co/CS) were prepared by a one-pot hydrothermal method for in-situ loading cobalt onto carbon spheres, followed by calcination at 300, 400 and 500 [degrees]C, respectively. Cobalt would distribute three-dimensionally in the spheres. Many characterization techniques, such as XRD, SEM, EDS and elemental mapping were applied to investigate the physicochemical properties of the supported catalysts. The catalytic activities were evaluated by decomposition of phenol solutions with sulfate radicals. It was found that the Co/CS catalysts were able to efficiently decompose phenol by activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS). Co/CS-300, 400 and 500 can completely decompose 20 ppm phenol in 15, 5 and 10 min, respectively. Kinetics studies were carried out to investigate the effects of catalyst loading, PMS amount, and reaction temperature on phenol degradation efficiency.

T1  - Transparent and opaque pricing: The interesting case of lithium
AN  - 1761661278; 2011-885150
AB  - Appreciating the pricing arrangements for a mineral and its compounds provides useful insight into the nature of its market and the industrial structure of its production. This paper focuses on the case of lithium, which has emerged from being a minor metal with limited profitable applications in 1950 to its glamour metal status some 65 years later. During this period bilateral contracts based on producer prices have been the major way in which prices have been negotiated. The entry of a major new producer (SQM) in the late 1990s led to a situation where price information was difficult to obtain, even though competition in the sector was growing. This is consistent with a movement from cooperative oligopoly to non-cooperative oligopoly. Growing price transparency since 2010 has been associated with the actual and projected entry of several new producers. With its continuing growth it seems inevitable that lithium will be formally traded on one of major metal exchanges within the next decade. In addition to this, the practice of transfer pricing between branches of established multinational producers also applies to the lithium industry. [Copyright Elsevier B.V.]

T1  - Plant composition modulates arthropod pest and predator abundance: Evidence for culling exotics and planting natives
AN  - 1746895277; PQ0002321309
AB  - We investigate the role of plant species in crops, pasture and native vegetation remnants in supporting agronomic pests and their predators. The study was conducted in three Australian States and across 290 sites sampled monthly for two years. Pastures played a key role in harbouring pest species consistent across States, while native vegetation hosted relatively more predators than other habitat types within each State. Furthermore, native plant species supported the lowest pest density and more predators than pests; in contrast, 75% of the exotic weed species surveyed hosted more pests than predators. Despite the role of pasture in harbouring pests, we found in NSW that pasture also supported the highest proportion of juvenile predators, while native vegetation remnants had the lowest. Our results indicate that non-crop habitat (native remnants or pasture) with few exotic weeds supports high predator and low pest arthropod densities, and that weeds are associated with high pest densities. By linking broad response variables such as 'all pests' with specific predictors such as 'plant species', our study will inform on-farm management actions of which weeds to control and which natives to plant or regenerate. This study shows the importance of knowing the function of habitats and plants species in supporting pests and predators in agricultural landscapes across multiple regions.

T1  - The impact of irrigation development on regional groundwater resources in Bangladesh
AN  - 1746892187; PQ0002320457
AB  - There is increasing concern over falling groundwater levels in some areas of Bangladesh, and there is undoubted overuse of groundwater in the Barind Tract in northwest Bangladesh and around Dhaka. However, the volumes of water availability and use, and hence the sustainability of use, are not well known. We developed monthly water balances for the main regions of Bangladesh to investigate historic trends in water use and availability and possible future trends under changed management to lessen groundwater use by using more surface water for irrigation. Our results show that for many areas the fall in pre-monsoon groundwater levels (at the regional average level) over the last few decades may be largely explained by the continual withdrawal of ever greater volumes of water with the three-fold increase in the area of irrigation. Thus, for many areas, if there were no further increase in the area irrigated by groundwater, the rate of decline in groundwater levels would likely reduce and levels could even attain a new equilibrium at a lower level, implying that current pumping rates could be maintained (subject to the lower groundwater levels being acceptable on environmental, economic and social grounds). Post-monsoon groundwater levels are largely influenced by yearly rainfall variability. Thus, groundwater use in some areas may not be as unsustainable as feared, and policies to reduce groundwater use in such areas may not be as necessary or urgent as thought. However, our analysis is approximate and detailed local studies are required to assess the sustainability of use.

T1  - Evaluating adaptive co-management as conservation conflict resolution: Learning from seals and salmon
AN  - 1746888812; PQ0002311503
AB  - By linking iterative learning and knowledge generation with power-sharing, adaptive co-management (ACM) provides a potential solution to resolving complex social-ecological problems. In this paper we evaluate ACM as a mechanism for resolving conservation conflict using a case study in Scotland, where seal and salmon fishery stakeholders have opposing and entrenched objectives. ACM emerged in 2002, successfully resolving this long-standing conflict. Applying evaluation approaches from the literature, in 2011 we interviewed stakeholders to characterise the evolution of ACM, and factors associated with its success over 10 years. In common with other ACM cases, triggers for the process were shifts in slow variables controlling the system (seal and salmon abundance, public perceptions of seal shooting), and exogenous shocks (changes in legal mandates, a seal disease outbreak). Also typical of ACM, three phases of evolution were evident: emerging local leadership preparing the system for change, a policy window of opportunity, and stakeholder partnerships building the resilience of the system. Parameters maintaining ACM were legal mechanisms and structures, legal power held by government, and the willingness of all stakeholders to reach a compromise and experiment with an alternative governance approach. Results highlighted the critical role of government power and support in resolving conservation conflict, which may constrain the extent of local stakeholder-driven ACM. The evaluation also demonstrated how, following perceived success, the trajectory of ACM has shifted to a 'stakeholder apathy' phase, with declining leadership, knowledge exchange, stakeholder engagement, and system resilience. We discuss remedial actions required to revive the process, and the importance of long term government resourcing and alternative financing schemes for successful conflict resolution. Based on the results we present a generic indicator framework and participatory method for the longitudinal evaluation of ACM applied to conservation conflict resolution.

T1  - Impact of mobile phone use on car-following behaviour of young drivers
AN  - 1746878763; PQ0002313791
AB  - Multitasking, such as the concurrent use of a mobile phone and operating a motor vehicle, is a significant distraction that impairs driving performance and is becoming a leading cause of motor vehicle crashes. This study investigates the impact of mobile phone conversations on car-following behaviour. The CARRS-Q Advanced Driving Simulator was used to test a group of young Australian drivers aged 18-26 years on a car-following task in three randomised phone conditions: baseline (no phone conversation), hands-free and handheld. Repeated measure ANOVA was applied to examine the effect of mobile phone distraction on selected car-following variables such as driving speed, spacing, and time headway. Overall, drivers tended to select slower driving speeds, larger vehicle spacings, and longer time headways when they were engaged in either hands-free or handheld phone conversations, suggesting possible risk compensatory behaviour. In addition, phone conversations while driving influenced car-following behaviour such that variability was increased in driving speeds, vehicle spacings, and acceleration and decelerations. To further investigate car-following behaviour of distracted drivers, driver time headways were modelled using Generalized Estimation Equation (GEE). After controlling for various exogenous factors, the model predicts an increase of 0.33s in time headway when a driver is engaged in hands-free phone conversation and a 0.75s increase for handheld phone conversation. The findings will improve the collective understanding of distraction on driving performance, in particular car following behaviour which is most critical in the determination of rear-end crashes.

T1  - Optimising fisheries management in relation to tuna catches in the western central Pacific Ocean: A review of research priorities and opportunities
AN  - 1735924398; PQ0002312444
AB  - Some of the most important development goals for the countries and territories of the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (WCPO) involve the sustainable management of their fisheries in light of environmental, economic and social uncertainties. The responses of fish populations to variability in the marine environment have implications for decision making processes associated with resource management. There is still considerable uncertainty in estimating the responses of tuna populations to short-to-medium-term variability and longer-term change in the oceanic environment. A workshop was organised to examine how advances in oceanography, fisheries science and fisheries economics could be applied to the tuna fisheries of the WCPO and in doing so identify research priorities to improve understanding relevant to progressing management. Research priorities identified included: (i) improved parameterisation of end to end ecosystem model components, processes and feedbacks through expanded biological observations and incorporation of higher resolution climate models; (ii) development of seasonal and inter-annual forecasting tools enabling management responses to short-term variability in tuna distributions and abundances; (iii) improved understanding of the population dynamics of and the energy transfer efficiencies between food web components; (iv) assessment of the optimal value of access rights and overall fishery value under multiple scenarios of tuna distribution and abundance and influences on decision making by fisheries managers and fleets and (v) development of management strategy evaluation frameworks for utilisation in the implementing and testing of fishery management procedures and to help prioritise research directions and investment. Issues discussed and research priorities identified during the workshop have synergies with other internationally managed fisheries and therefore are applicable to many other fisheries.

T1  - Drought conditions and recovery in the Coorong wetland, south Australia in 1997-2013
AN  - 1727676409; PQ0002170250
AB  - Between 2004 and 2009, South Australia suffered its longest period of below average annual rainfall. This impacted riverine ecosystems and particularly the Murray-Darling Basin (MDB), the largest river system in Australia. The MDB combines 30,000 wetlands of which the Coorong wetland is of significant importance for the reproduction of bird and fish species, and is listed under the Ramsar Convention. We sampled water in the Coorong wetland between 2011 and 2013 and compiled additional data from 1997 to 2013 to assess the impact of the drought and subsequent recovery of the environment. The salinity levels of the Coorong wetland increased dramatically during the drought because of the lack of freshwater inflow from the Murray River. The changes in water flow observed from 2002 to 2009 had an impact on the number of habitats present along the Coorong wetland. In addition, a shift in community composition was observed between the freshwater habitat (85) dominated by diatoms. It is evident that during the drought, the Coorong wetland was dominated by diatoms and dinoflagellates. After the drought, the North Lagoon was dominated by chlorophytes up to a salinity level of 20. However, over 20 and in the South Lagoon, diatoms dominated the community. This study highlights how salinity levels drive the phytoplankton community. Based on the complementary data obtained for salinity between 1997 and 2010, there is a significant difference between the salinity levels observed during the drought and those observed before and after the drought. It appears that salinity levels are now recovered to what they were in the late 1990s.

T1  - Time will tell: resource continuity bolsters ecosystem services
AN  - 1727671287; PQ0002147923
AB  - A common suggestion to support ecosystem services to agriculture provided by mobile organisms is to increase the amount of natural and seminatural habitat in the landscape. This might, however, be inefficient, and demands for agricultural products limit the feasibility of converting arable land into natural habitat. To develop more targeted means to promote ecosystem services, we need a solid understanding of the limitations to population growth for service-providing organisms. We propose a research agenda that identifies resource bottlenecks and interruptions over time to key beneficial organisms, emphasising their resulting population dynamics. Targeted measures that secure the continuity of resources throughout the life cycle of service-providing organisms are likely to effectively increase the stock, flow, and stability of ecosystem services.

T1  - Recent Bayesian approaches for spatial analysis of 2-D images with application to environmental modelling
AN  - 1717501147; PQ0001939673
AB  - From remote sensing of the environment, to brain scans in medicine, the growth in the use of image data has motivated a parallel increase in statistical techniques for analysing these images. A particular area of growth has been in Bayesian models and corresponding computational methods. Bayesian approaches have been proposed to address the gamut of supervised and unsupervised inferential aims in image analysis. In this article we provide a general review of these approaches, with a focus on unsupervised analysis of 2-D images. Four exemplar methods that canvas the broad aims of image modelling and analysis are described. An exposition of these approaches is provided by applying them to an environmental case study involving the use of satellite data to assess water quality in the Great Barrier Reef, Australia. The techniques considered in detail are hidden Markov random fields (MRF), Gaussian MRF, Poisson/gamma random fields, and Voronoi tessellations. We also consider a variety of enabling computational algorithms, including MCMC, variational Bayes and integrated nested Laplace approximations. We compare the different aims and inferential capabilities of the models and discuss the advantages and drawbacks of the corresponding computational algorithms.

T1  - Target screening of chemicals of concern in recycled water
AN  - 1717493700; PQ0002010963
AB  - The results of a characterisation study of water samples collected from an Advanced Water Recycling Plant (AWRP) operating in Perth, Western Australia are presented. The AWRP treats secondary wastewater by ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis (RO) and ultraviolet radiation (UV) to produce recycled water for groundwater replenishment. Water samples collected after RO and UV treatment were characterised by liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry, using an established protocol for target screening. The target screening of 291 compounds detected a total of 13 chemicals in post-RO and post-UV water, including 2 corrosion inhibitors (4+5-methyl-1H-benzotriazole, benzotriazole), 3 pesticides (metolachlor, propiconazol, prosulfocarb), 3 pharmaceuticals (lamotrigin, metformin, tramadol), 1 personal care product (galaxalidone), 3 artificial sweeteners (saccharin, acesulfame, sucralose) and 1 flame retardant (triethyl phosphate). The corrosion inhibitors benzotriazole and 4+5-methyl-1H-benzotriazole, and the pharmaceutical metformin were detected in hundreds of ng L super(-1), while the other compounds were present in low ng L super(-1) concentrations. Analysis of UV treated water samples showed that UV treatment also helped to reduced UV degradable compounds such as the corrosion inhibitors (>50% removal), triethyl phosphate (~50% removal) and the artificial sweetener acesulfame (~95% removal). Overall, the detection of 13 chemicals through target screening analyses did not account for the residual dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in post RO water, the majority of which is still an intriguing unknown. However, the target screening did show that there were no obvious "known" anthropogenic contaminants contributing to the majority of the DOC in post-RO and post-UV treated water. Calculated risk quotients (RQ) for all detected chemicals in UV treated water were 2 to 6 order of magnitude below 1, implying an high degree of safety associated with human consumption of recycled water. Overall the chemicals screening provided further evidence of the overall safety of the use of recycled wastewater treated by RO and UV as a potable water source.

T1  - Prioritizing Urban Habitats for Connectivity Conservation: Integrating Centrality and Ecological Metrics
AN  - 1712770930; PQ0001939192
AB  - Connectivity among fragmented areas of habitat has long been acknowledged as important for the viability of biological conservation, especially within highly modified landscapes. Identifying important habitat patches in ecological connectivity is a priority for many conservation strategies, and the application of 'graph theory' has been shown to provide useful information on connectivity. Despite the large number of metrics for connectivity derived from graph theory, only a small number have been compared in terms of the importance they assign to nodes in a network. This paper presents a study that aims to define a new set of metrics and compares these with traditional graph-based metrics, used in the prioritization of habitat patches for ecological connectivity. The metrics measured consist of "topological" metrics, "ecological metrics," and "integrated metrics," Integrated metrics are a combination of topological and ecological metrics. Eight metrics were applied to the habitat network for the fat-tailed dunnart within Greater Melbourne, Australia. A non-directional network was developed in which nodes were linked to adjacent nodes. These links were then weighted by the effective distance between patches. By applying each of the eight metrics for the study network, nodes were ranked according to their contribution to the overall network connectivity. The structured comparison revealed the similarity and differences in the way the habitat for the fat-tailed dunnart was ranked based on different classes of metrics. Due to the differences in the way the metrics operate, a suitable metric should be chosen that best meets the objectives established by the decision maker.

T1  - Effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of piperaquine and dihydroartemisinin.
AN  - 1709715410; 26293519
AB  - Piperaquine-dihydroartemisinin combination therapy has established efficacy for the treatment of malaria; however, a more comprehensive understanding of the pharmacokinetic properties and factors contributing to inter- and intra-individual variability is critical to optimize clinical use. This study assessed the effects of food on the pharmacokinetics of combination piperaquine-dihydroartemisinin administration in healthy volunteers.
          This was an open-label, single-dose, parallel-group study. Participants were randomly allocated to receive oral piperaquine-dihydroartemisinin either after an overnight fast or immediately after a standardized, high-fat, high-calorie meal. Blood samples were collected for analysis of plasma piperaquine and dihydroartemisinin concentrations, which were utilized for calculation of pharmacokinetic parameters, using a standard model-independent approach. Consumption of a high-fat, high-calorie meal resulted in substantial increases in the extent of exposure to piperaquine (ratio between area under the plasma concentration-time curve [AUC] values from 0 to 168 h in the fed and fasted states [AUC0-168 h FED/AUC0-168 h FASTED] = 299 %, 90 % confidence interval [CI] 239-374 %). This likely reflects an increase in the oral bioavailability of the drug, directly related to the fat content of the meal. Co-administration of food was also found to result in both delayed and enhanced absorption of dihydroartemisinin (ratio between AUC values from time zero to infinity in the fed and states [AUC∞ FED/AUC∞ FASTED] = 142 %, 90 % CI 113-178 %; ratio between mean transit time [MTT] values in the fed and fasted states [MTTFED/MTTFASTED] = 135 %, 90 % CI 114-160 %).
          Although food was found to significantly impact on the pharmacokinetics of piperaquine and dihydroartemisinin, given the low fat content of standard meals within endemic regions and the anorexic effects of malaria infection, these results are unlikely to impact on the clinical utility of these drugs. However, co-administration of food with these anti-malarials by populations consuming a typical Western diet should be avoided to reduce the risk of toxic side effects. It is therefore a general recommendation that piperaquine-dihydroartemisinin not be administered within ±3 h of food consumption.

A cohort study at a state-wide gambling therapy service in South Australia. Primary outcome measure was rated by participants using victorian gambling screen (VGS) ‘harm to self’ sub-scale with validated cut score 21+ (score range 0–60) indicative of problem gambling behaviour. Secondary outcome measure was Work and Social Adjustment Scale (WSAS). Independent variable was severity of affective and anxiety disorders based on Kessler 10 scale. We used propensity score adjusted random-effects models to estimate treatment outcomes for sub-populations of individuals from baseline to 12 month follow-up. Between July, 2010 and December, 2012, 380 participants were eligible for inclusion in the final analysis. Mean age was 44.1 (SD = 13.6) years and 211 (56 %) were males. At baseline, 353 (92.9 %) were diagnosed with a gambling disorder using VGS. For exposure, 175 (46 %) had a very high probability of a 12-month affective or anxiety disorder, 103 (27 %) in the high range and 102 (27 %) in the low to moderate range. For the main analysis, individuals experienced similar clinically significant reductions (improvement) in gambling related outcomes across time ( p < 0.001). Individuals with co-varying patterns of problem gambling and 12 month affective and anxiety disorders who present to a gambling help service for treatment in metropolitan South Australia gain similar significant reductions in gambling behaviours from routine cognitive–behavioural therapy in the mid-term.

T1  - Predicting wind power variability events using different statistical methods driven by regional atmospheric model output
AN  - 1705065395; PQ0001829241
AB  - Variability in power generation from wind farms is an important issue in the energy industry. If sub-hour variability events can be predicted, potential disruptions to the grid operations might be mitigated. Using 4years of 5min wind power data from the Australian Energy Market Operator for an 80MW wind farm in south-east Australia, we fit statistical models of variability on meteorological reanalysis data from the US National Centers for Environmental Prediction. The National Centers for Environmental Prediction fields were transformed into spatial empirical orthogonal functions, and 6h projections onto these became explanatory covariates for generalized linear, random forest (RF), gradient boosting and support vector machine classification models. Other covariates considered were local wind speed and 6h-lagged empirical orthogonal function differences. Models were selected by minimizing cross-validated misclassification rate and assessed using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve and reliability score. Considering performance and ease of tuning, RFs were preferred. Performance was poorer for larger ramps. The RFs accurately predicted their performance on the validation set. For asymmetric costs (miss-to-false alarm cost ratio=10), RFs yielded competitive low-cost models. Support vector machines produced slightly superior models but needed to be tuned manually. RF models using atmospheric model output provide a robust approach to predicting wind power variability and relatively large ramp events. We recommend the RF models as a practical and skilful method to feed into an early warning system for energy/electricity operators.

T1  - The changing land cover and fragmenting forest on the Roof of the World: A case study in Nepal's Kailash Sacred Landscape
AN  - 1701492192; PQ0001685099
AB  - Land cover change is one of the most important drivers of forest ecosystem change. The Hindu Kush Himalayan region (HKH) has experienced severe forest degradation but data and documentation are limited. We undertook this study in the Nepalese part of the Kailash Sacred Landscape (KSL), an important transboundary region known for its biodiversity and the scared values. Forest is an important ecosystem within the landscape and provides various goods and services including habitat for many keystone species. However, precise information on forest change and overall land cover change in the area is limited. We analyzed land cover change and forest fragmentation between 1990 and 2009, and the predicted change for 2030. There was a 9% decrease in forest cover and 12% increase in cropland between 1990 and 2009. A further 4% decline in forest cover and 5% increase in cropland was predicted by 2030, together with a slight increase in grassland and barren area. Fragmentation analysis showed a 10% decrease in large core forest between 1990 and 2009, accompanied by an increase in patch forest. A further 10.6% decline in core forest was predicted by 2030, accompanied by an increase in patch, perforated, small-sized core, and mediumsized core areas. The study suggests that expansions of cropland coupled with high dependency on forests are the major drivers of the observed forest change. Recommendations are made based on the results of the study that will help to maintain and restore forest, and support biodiversity conservation and livelihoods.

T1  - Applications of zero-valent silicon nanostructures in biomedicine
AN  - 1846417331; PQ0003866681
AB  - Zero-valent, or elemental, silicon nanostructures exhibit a number of properties that render them attractive for applications in nanomedicine. These materials hold significant promise for improving existing diagnostic and therapeutic techniques. This review summarizes some of the essential aspects of the fabrication techniques used to generate these fascinating nanostructures, comparing their material properties and suitability for biomedical applications. We examine the literature in regards to toxicity, biocompatibility and biodistribution of silicon nanoparticles, nanowires and nanotubes, with an emphasis on surface modification and its influence on cell adhesion and endocytosis. In the final part of this review, our attention is focused on current applications of the fabricated silicon nanostructures in nanomedicine, specifically examining drug and gene delivery, bioimaging and biosensing.

T1  - A multi-system geochronology in the Ad-3 borehole, Pannonian Basin (Hungary) with implications for dating volcanic rocks by low-temperature thermochronology and for interpretation of (U-Th)/He data
AN  - 1802202144; PQ0001724805
AB  - Independent geochronological and thermal modelling approaches are applied to a biostratigraphically exceptionally well-controlled borehole, Alcsutdoboz-3 (Ad-3), in order to constrain the age of Cenozoic geodynamic events in the western Pannonian Basin and to test the efficacy of the methods for dating volcanic rocks. Apatite fission track and zircon U-Pb data show two volcanic phases of Middle Eocene (43.4-39.0 Ma) and Early Oligocene (32.72 plus or minus 0.15 Ma) age respectively. Apatite (U-Th)/He ages (23.8-14.8 Ma) and independent thermal and subsidence history models reveal a brief period of heating to 55-70 degree C at ~17 Ma caused by an increased heat-flow related to crustal thinning and mantle upwelling. Our results demonstrate that, contrary to common perception, the apatite (U-Th)/He method is likely to record 'apparent' or 'mixed' ages resulting from subsequent thermal events rather than 'cooling' or 'eruption' ages directly related to distinct geological events. It follows that a direct conversion of 'apparent' or 'mixed' (U-Th)/He ages into cooling, exhumation or erosion rates is incorrect.

T1  - A new magnetic nano zero-valent iron encapsulated in carbon spheres for oxidative degradation of phenol
AN  - 1786182513; PQ0002462999
AB  - In this study, magnetic carbon encapsulated nano iron hybrids (nano Fe super(0)/Fe sub(3)CS) were synthesized via a novel one-pot hydrothermal method followed by self-reduction in N sub(2) atmosphere. The structural, morphological, and physicochemical properties of the samples were thoroughly investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), N sub(2) sorption isotherms and thermogravimetric analysis-differential scanning calorimetry (TGA-DSC). Catalytic performance of the as-synthesized nanoparticles was tested in activation of oxone(R) for phenol degradation in aqueous solutions. Superior catalytic performance was observed by complete removal of 20 ppm phenol within 10 min. The formation of Fe sub(3)C was found to contribute to a better stability and magnetic separation of Fe super(0)/Fe sub(3)CS in its repeated uses. Both electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and classic quenching tests were carried out to investigate the mechanism of radical generation and evolution in phenol oxidation. Different from Co- and Mn-based catalysts in generation of sulfate radicals, Fe super(0)/Fe sub(3)CS selectively induced hydroxyl radicals for phenol degradation.

T1  - Metal hydride thermal heat storage prototype for concentrating solar thermal power
AN  - 1773840985; PQ0002675489
AB  - CSP (concentrating solar thermal power) is emerging as a viable and cost effective solution to renewable energy generation. Molten salts are currently used as heat storage media to enable power generation during the night-cycle. Metal hydrides offer the possibility of storing energy with an order of magnitude less raw material than molten salts due to their impressive energy densities. To test the viability of hydrogen storage materials for CSP applications we have designed and constructed a prototype scale apparatus for screening materials under dynamic conditions with active heat extraction. The apparatus is tested with 19 g of well-known MgH sub(2) to assess the viability of the design for screening purposes. The metal hydride is thermally cycled up to 420 [degrees]C more than 20 times with a minimal loss in hydrogen capacity. Issues relating to testing on a prototype scale are discussed, where problems with environmental heat loss and powder compaction dominate the performance of the metal hydride in the prototype. Problems with heat loss are inherently minimised on scale-up, leading to thermal behaviour more representative of a full-scale CSP energy storage system.

T1  - Derivative based algorithms for continuous relaxation spectrum recovery
AN  - 1765942782; PQ0002042693
AB  - Historically, it has always been understood that the relaxation spectra of linear viscoelastic materials are continuous. Nevertheless, because of their ease of implementation computationally, delta function recovery methods have been and continue to be important, even though they do not generate continuous approximations. Derivative based recovery techniques were popular in the pre-computer days because they engendered simple formulas for continuous relaxation spectra approximation and estimation. They also represent a practical basis for continuous relaxation spectra estimation from oscillatory shear data. Here, using local Fourier deconvolution, we give precise formulae which generalize certain classical derivative based approximations to the relaxation spectra of linear viscoelastic materials using oscillatory shear data. We also present new formulae in this class. Finally we present a stable iterative algorithm, of the type proposed by Gureyev, which circumvents the calculation of very high order derivatives. The importance of the proposed derivative based approximations are that they are local and therefore are appropriate for the experimental situation where the oscillatory shear data is only available for a finite range of frequencies. Results are presented for both exact and experimental data.

T1  - Improving waste management in construction projects: An Australian study
AN  - 1746893429; PQ0002310178
AB  - Construction waste generation has been identified as one of the major issues in the construction industry due to its direct impacts on the environment as well as the efficiency of the construction industry. As the industry cannot continue to practice if the environmental resources on which it depends are depleted, the significance of waste management needs to be understood in order to encourage stakeholders to achieve related goals. Therefore, this research aims to determine effective approaches to eliminate and/or minimise waste generation in construction projects. Mixed methods were adopted by combining qualitative and quantitative research approaches. Interviews and a questionnaire survey were conducted as the primary data collection methods. The findings reveal twenty six critical solutions for waste management. Five factors of solutions for waste management were extracted from the exploratory factor analysis. These factors were: team building and supervision; strategic guidelines in waste management; proper design and documentation; innovation in waste management decisions; and lifecycle management. The evidence from this study suggests that both technologies and attitudinal approaches require improvement to eliminate/minimise waste generation in construction projects. Similarly, attention should be paid to being mindful of the environmental effects of waste generation and avoiding waste generation as early as possible in construction projects.

T1  - Lipid Biomarker and Isotopic Study of Community Distribution and Biomarker Preservation in a Laminated Microbial Mat from Shark Bay, Western Australia
AN  - 1709186511; PQ0001896835
AB  - Modern microbial mats from Shark Bay present some structural similarities with ancient stromatolites; thus, the functionality of microbial communities and processes of diagenetic preservation of modern mats may provide an insight into ancient microbial assemblages and preservation. In this study, the vertical distribution of microbial communities was investigated in a well-laminated smooth mat from Shark Bay. Biolipid and compound-specific isotopic analyses were performed to investigate the distribution of microbial communities in four distinct layers of the mat. Biomarkers indicative of cyanobacteria were more abundant in the uppermost oxic layer. Diatom markers (e.g. C sub(25) HBI alkene, C sub(20:4 omega 6) and C sub(20:5 omega 3) polar lipid fatty acids (PLFAs)) were also detected in high abundance in the uppermost layer, but also in the deepest layer under conditions of permanent darkness and anoxia, where they probably used NO sub(3) super(-) for respiration. CycC sub(19:0), an abundant PLFA of purple sulfur bacteria (PSB), was detected in all layers and presented the most super(13)C-depleted values of all PLFAs, consistent with photoautotrophic PSB. Sulfur-bound aliphatic and aromatic biomarkers were detected in all layers, highlighting the occurrence of early sulfurisation which may be an important mechanism in the sedimentary preservation of functional biolipids in living and, thus, also ancient mats.

T1  - Recreational Drowning Prevention Interventions for Adults, 1990-2012: A Review
AN  - 1709185183; PQ0001870549
AB  - Drowning is a frequently occurring and preventable public health issue. Internationally, drowning literature has focussed on children under 5 years, however, evidence based interventions to prevent adult drowning are needed to reduce deaths on a global scale. The aim of this paper is to systematically identify and analyse the evidence for drowning interventions with an adult focus. A systematic search was undertaken for peer-reviewed articles which were published in English between 1990 and 2012, focused on adults and described a drowning intervention. After quality appraisal by expert reviewers using a purposively tailored checklist, a final total of six studies were included for review. The six studies were all conducted in high income countries. Four were drowning interventions, two were retrospective analyses. The drowning interventions duration ranged from 10 days to 5 years, the analysis studies from 6 to 21 years. Two of the studies reviewed used behaviour change theory to inform development, and two reported formative evaluation. Prevention strategies included education (n = 3), technology (n = 1) and environmental (n = 1). Positive short term effects and significant behaviour change in life jacket use was reported (n = 2). A mixed effect was observed in the six studies. The complexity of the issues surrounding drowning requires the collection of robust data and evaluation of preventative measures to support the development of targeted and tailored prevention interventions. This review reinforces the need for a genuine and sustained global approach to addressing adult drowning prevention. Drowning is a serious public health issue and should receive the same attention as other public health priorities .

T1  - Off-line two-dimensional liquid chromatography for metabolomics: an example using Agaricus bisporus mushrooms exposed to UV irradiation
AN  - 1709177752; PQ0001861660
AB  - It has previously been shown that irradiation with UV light increases the vitamin D content of certain mushroom species, but the effect on other nutrients is unknown, and is difficult to assess due to the complexity of the sample matrix. Here, an offline reversed phase reversed phase two-dimensional liquid chromatography methodology was developed and applied to Agaricus bisporus mushrooms in order to demonstrate the potential of the technique and assess the effect of UV irradiation on the mushroom's metabolic profile. The method allowed the detection of 158 peaks in a single analytical run. A total of 51 compounds including sugars, amino acids, organic and fatty acids and phenolic compounds were identified using certified reference standards. After irradiation of the mushrooms with UV for 30 s the number of peaks detected decreased from 158 to 150; 47 compounds increased in concentration while 72 substances decreased. This is the first time that two-dimensional liquid chromatography has been carried out for the metabolomic analysis of mushrooms. The data provide an overview of the gain/loss of nutritional value of the mushrooms following UV irradiation and demonstrate that the increased peak capacity and separation space of two-dimensional liquid chromatography has great potential in metabolomics.

T1  - Bedload yields for sand-bed streams in the Ngarradj Creek catchment, Northern Territory, Australia
AN  - 1709173419; PQ0001865656
AB  - Bedload yields were calculated by 39 methods at the East Tributary gauge, nine methods at Upper Swift Creek gauge and 11 methods at Swift Creek gauge in the Ngarradj Creek catchment in northern Australia. These methods involved combining various significant bedload rating curves determined for a measured bedload data set for a 4-year period with either the hourly or daily hydrographs or flow duration curves for the same period, 1 September 1998 to 31 August 2002. Bedload ratings were both statistically significant ( rho less than or equal to 0.05) and explained at least 60% of the variance in bedload flux. Bias corrections were used with all methods based on log sub(10)-transformed ratings. Estimated mean annual bedload yields varied by three orders of magnitude at the East Tributary gauge and by two orders of magnitude at Upper Swift Creek and Swift Creek gauges. Hourly discharges usually produced higher estimated yields than daily discharges. The bedload rating-flow duration curve technique overestimates yields and bias correction methods always produce even higher yields. Ratings using both immersed bedload weight and adjusted immersed bedload weight always under-predicted yields because they contain an implicit threshold of motion condition that is at least four times greater than that predicted by Bagnold's threshold equation. Such a result questions the applicability of Bagnold's threshold equation to the Ngarradj Creek catchment. The best estimates of mean annual bedload yield at East Tributary, Upper Swift Creek and Swift Creek gauges are 600 plus or minus 170 (SE), 1065 plus or minus 150 and 1795 plus or minus 270t/year, respectively.

T1  - Recent introduction of an allodapine bee into Fiji: A new model system for understanding biological invasions by pollinators
AN  - 1705077179; PQ0001827504
AB  - Morphology-based studies have suggested a very depauperate bee fauna for islands in the South West Pacific, and recent genetic studies since have indicated an even smaller endemic fauna with many bee species in this region resulting from human-aided dispersal. These introduced species have the potential to both disrupt native pollinator suites as well as augment crop pollination, but for most species the timings of introduction are unknown. We examined the distribution and nesting biology of the long-tongued bee Braunsapis puangensis that was first recorded from Fiji in 2007. This bee has now become widespread in Fiji and both its local abundance and geographical range are likely to increase dramatically. The impacts of this invasion are potentially enormous for agriculture and native ecosystems, but they also provide opportunities for understanding how social insect species adapt to new environments. We outline the major issues associated with this recent invasion and argue that a long-term monitoring study is needed.

T1  - Evaluating the effectiveness of water infrastructures for increasing groundwater recharge and agricultural production - A case study of Gujarat, India
AN  - 1701499465; PQ0001708832
AB  - Groundwater for agricultural purposes is of utmost importance in the Indian state of Gujarat. To augment existing agricultural water resources, the Gujarat Government invested in many large-scale and small-scale water infrastructures (WI). In order to increase water storage and groundwater recharge and to justify further investments in WI, a better understanding on the impacts of past WIs is needed. This study uses data from NASA's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE), along with soil moisture data from the Global Land Data Assimilation Systems, to estimate water storage before and after the intensification in the investment in WIs. In addition, Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) sensor was used to show changes in seasonal cropped areas during the same period. The analysis of data showed that the water storage in the state was estimated to be 24 BCM in 2003-2004 and 30 BCM in 2010-2011, an increase of 29% pre and post WI intensification. The Pixel Crop Duration Index (PCDI) indicated an increase in cropped area (at district level) in 2010-2011 when compared with 2003-2004 period, by 30% on yearly basis and about 80% during non-monsoon period. Results also indicates a significant net increase in water storage (by 5890Mm3 after water used for crop intensification) and increase in agricultural crop area (by 63,862km2) in Gujarat during the period of intensification in infrastructures for water storage and groundwater recharge. Results also indicate that some districts have higher net water storage (compared to 2003), however the cropped area duration - PCDI has not increased much (e.g., Valsad and Navsari). The findings of this study can increase the understanding of the potential of WIs and provide valuable guidance for increasing cropped area in high water storage regions of Gujarat.

T1  - Identification of influential events concerning the Antarctic ozone hole over southern Brazil and the biological effects induced by UVB and UVA radiation in an endemic treefrog species.
AN  - 1681913985; 25957080
AB  - The increased incidence of solar ultraviolet radiation (UV) due to ozone depletion has been affecting both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and it may help to explain the enigmatic decline of amphibian populations in specific localities. In this work, influential events concerning the Antarctic ozone hole were identified in a dataset containing 35 years of ozone measurements over southern Brazil. The effects of environmental doses of UVB and UVA radiation were addressed on the morphology and development of Hypsiboas pulchellus tadpole (Anura: Hylidae), as well as on the induction of malformation after the conclusion of metamorphosis. These analyzes were complemented by the detection of micronucleus formation in blood cells. 72 ozone depletion events were identified from 1979 to 2013. Surprisingly, their yearly frequency increased three-fold during the last 17 years. The results clearly show that H. pulchellus tadpole are much more sensitive to UVB than UVA light, which reduces their survival and developmental rates. Additionally, the rates of micronucleus formation by UVB were considerably higher compared to UVA even after the activation of photolyases enzymes by a further photoreactivation treatment. Consequently, a higher occurrence of malformation was observed in UVB-irradiated individuals. These results demonstrate the severe genotoxic impact of UVB radiation on this treefrog species and its importance for further studies aimed to assess the impact of the increased levels of solar UVB radiation on declining species of the Hylidae family.

AN  - 1767319760; 2011-910330
AB  - Five federal statutes authorize intelligence officials to request certain business record information in connection with national security investigations. The USA PATRIOT Act expanded the authority under the original four national security letters (NSL) statutes and created a fifth. Thereafter, the authority was reported to have been widely used. Then, a report by the Department of Justice's Inspector General (IG) found that in its use of expanded USA PATRIOT Act authority, the FBI had 'used NSLs in violation of applicable NSL statutes, Attorney General Guidelines, and internal FBI policies,' although it concluded that no criminal laws had been broken.

AB  - The non-protein amino acid, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) rapidly accumulates in plant tissues in response to biotic and abiotic stress, and regulates plant growth. Until now it was not known whether GABA exerts its effects in plants through the regulation of carbon metabolism or via an unidentified signalling pathway. Here, we demonstrate that anion flux through plant aluminium-activated malate transporter (ALMT) proteins is activated by anions and negatively regulated by GABA. Site-directed mutagenesis of selected amino acids within ALMT proteins abolishes GABA efficacy but does not alter other transport properties. GABA modulation of ALMT activity results in altered root growth and altered root tolerance to alkaline pH, acid pH and aluminium ions. We propose that GABA exerts its multiple physiological effects in plants via ALMT, including the regulation of pollen tube and root growth, and that GABA can finally be considered a legitimate signalling molecule in both the plant and animal kingdoms.

T1  - Fixed-bed dynamic column adsorption study of methylene blue (MB) onto pine cone
AN  - 1701474542; PQ0001735255
AB  - The effectiveness of pine cone biomass in the removal of methylene blue (MB) dye from its aqueous solution was tested here by a fixed-bed column adsorption study. The adsorption column breakthrough curves (BTCs) indicated the favourable column dynamics and its dye adsorptive behaviour depends on feed flow rate, initial MB dye concentration and column bed height. The results showed that the amount of total sorbed dye, equilibrium dye uptake, mass transfer zone and total percentage of dye removal increased with increase in MB dye concentration and the height of the bed, but decreased with increase in initial flow rate. To determine the fixed-bed column adsorption kinetic parameters, Thomas, Yoon-Nelson and Bed Depth Service Time (BDST) models fitted the experimental BTC obtained from dynamic studies. All these parameters are required for the design of adsorption column and it was found that all three kinetic models were applicable. Thomas model showed that the value of maximum solid-phase concentration (q sub(0)) decreased when the flow rate and the height of the bed increased but increased with increasing initial MB dye concentration. The value of Thomas kinetic rate constant (K sub(Th)) increased with higher flow rate but decreased with increasing initial MB dye concentration and the height of the bed. Yoon-Nelson model showed that the time required to achieve 50% adsorbate breakthrough, tau fitted well with the experimental data ( tau sub(50% exp.)) in the entire column adsorption system. The rate constant K sub(YN) increased with both increasing flow rate and initial MB dye concentration but decreased with increasing bed height. The BDST model showed that the rate constant (K sub(0)) decreased when both the bed heights and the initial MB dye concentration increased, but increased with the increase in flow rate. The value of the volumetric sorption capacity of the bed (N sub(0)) increased with increasing flow rate, initial MB dye concentration and bed height. Overall, all the three models were fitted well with the experimental data.

T1  - Association between the aldehyde dehydrogenase 2*2 allele and smoking-related chronic airway obstruction in a Japanese general population: a pilot study.
AN  - 1686411576; 25978981
AB  - Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) detoxifies exogenous and endogenous toxic aldehydes; however, its protective effect against cigarette smoke in airways is unknown. We therefore examined whether the inactive ALDH2*2 allele is associated with smoking-related chronic airway obstruction. We conducted a cross-sectional study including 684 Japanese participants in a health screening program, and a retrospective longitudinal study in the elderly subgroup. The risks of airway obstruction in the ever-smokers with the ALDH2*1/*2 and *2/*2 genotypes were two and three times higher, respectively, than in the never-smokers with the ALDH2*1/*1 genotype. Moreover, the combined effect of smoking and the ALDH2*2 allele was prominent in the asthmatic subjects. In a longitudinal association analysis, the combination of the ALDH2 genotype and pack-years of smoking synergistically increased the risk of airway obstruction. The number of pack-years of smoking at baseline was identified to be a significant predictor of airway obstruction only in the ALDH2*2 allele carriers. In addition, the ALDH2*2 allele was also associated with the incidence of smoking-related airway obstruction, in the Cox proportional hazards model. This pilot study demonstrated for the first time a significant gene-environment interaction between the ALDH2*2 allele and cumulative exposure to cigarette smoke on the risk of airway obstruction.

T1  - Work-family conflict: The importance of differentiating between different facets of job characteristics
AN  - 1727692914; PQ0002186007
AB  - This review study clarifies the relationships between job characteristics and work-family conflict (WFC) by differentiating among three facets of job characteristics: latent, perceived, and enacted. To date, research linking job characteristics to WFC has not distinguished the facets of job demands and job resources in this way. Such distinctions are important as a means of understanding the affective, behavioural, and cognitive processes involved in determining how and when job characteristics relate to WFC. Our review of 115 studies showed that perceived job characteristics have been most commonly explored in relation to WFC, whereas latent and enacted job characteristics have been hardly examined. While these findings may not be surprising, our contribution lies in reviewing the literature through the lens of these categories. Based on the findings, and through highlighting examples in the extant literature, we argue that understanding job characteristics in terms of both how they are perceived and enacted by workers will provide a deeper insight into the mechanisms underlying the relationship between job characteristics and WFC. In order to inform evidence-based interventions, future research must uncover the dynamic mechanisms underpinning the connection between job characteristics and WFC through a focus on enacted job facets and the cognitive, affective, and behavioural processes involved.

T1  - Options for managing impacts of climate change on a deep-sea community
AN  - 1773831935; PQ0002697749
AB  - The deep sea hosts some of the world's largest, oldest, and most sensitive ecosystems. Climate change and ocean acidification are likely to have severe implications for many deep-sea ecosystems and communities, but what, if anything, can be done to mitigate these threats is poorly understood. To begin to bridge this gap, we convened a stakeholder workshop to assess and prioritize options for conserving legislatively protected deep-sea coral reefs off southeast Australia that, without management intervention, are likely to be severely degraded within decades as a result of climate change. Seventeen possible options were explored that span biological, engineering and regulatory domains and that differed widely in their perceived costs, benefits, time to implementation, and risks. In the short term, the highest priority identified is the need to urgently locate and protect sites globally that are, or will become, refugia areas for the coral and its associated community as climate change progresses.

T1  - Corporate-cooperative management of fisheries: A potential alternative governance structure for low value small fisheries?
AN  - 1770276665; PQ0002259290
AB  - While the economic and environmental benefits of fisheries management are well accepted, the costs of effective management in low value fisheries, including the research necessary to underpin such management, may be considerable relative to the total economic benefits they may generate. Co-management is often seen as a panacea in low value fisheries. Increasing fisher participation increases legitimacy of management decision in the absence of detailed scientific input. However, where only a small number of operators exist, the potential benefits of co-management are negated by the high transaction cost to the individual fishers engaging in the management process. From an economic perspective, sole ownership has been identified as the management structure which can best achieve biological and economic sustainability. Moving low value fisheries with a small number of participants to a corporate-cooperative management model may come close to achieving these sole ownership benefits, with lower transaction costs. In this paper we look at the applicability of different management models with industry involvement to low value fisheries with a small number of participants. We provide an illustration as to how a fishery could be transitioned to a corporate-cooperative management model that captures the key benefits of sole management at a low cost and is consistent with societal objectives.

T1  - SNP discovery in nonmodel organisms: strand bias and base-substitution errors reduce conversion rates
AN  - 1735923692; PQ0002290318
AB  - Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have become the marker of choice for genetic studies in organisms of conservation, commercial or biological interest. Most SNP discovery projects in nonmodel organisms apply a strategy for identifying putative SNPs based on filtering rules that account for random sequencing errors. Here, we analyse data used to develop 4723 novel SNPs for the commercially important deep-sea fish, orange roughy (Hoplostethus atlanticus), to assess the impact of not accounting for systematic sequencing errors when filtering identified polymorphisms when discovering SNPs. We used SAMtools to identify polymorphisms in a velvet assembly of genomic DNA sequence data from seven individuals. The resulting set of polymorphisms were filtered to minimize 'bycatch'-polymorphisms caused by sequencing or assembly error. An Illumina Infinium SNP chip was used to genotype a final set of 7714 polymorphisms across 1734 individuals. Five predictors were examined for their effect on the probability of obtaining an assayable SNP: depth of coverage, number of reads that support a variant, polymorphism type (e.g. A/C), strand-bias and Illumina SNP probe design score. Our results indicate that filtering out systematic sequencing errors could substantially improve the efficiency of SNP discovery. We show that BLASTX can be used as an efficient tool to identify single-copy genomic regions in the absence of a reference genome. The results have implications for research aiming to identify assayable SNPs and build SNP genotyping assays for nonmodel organisms.

T1  - A social licence to operate: corporate social responsibility, local communities and the constitution of global production networks
AN  - 1735658651; 201537320
AB  - This article contributes to the theorization of the role of informal regulation (undertaken by leading firms) in the ongoing organization of global production networks. It does so through a qualitative case study of BHP Billiton's Ravensthorpe Nickel Operation (RNO) in the rural Shire of Ravensthorpe in Western Australia. This less tangible, and to date under-researched, dimension of global production networks is foregrounded through a focus on the corporate social responsibility strategy implemented by RNO in the service of achieving and/or demonstrating a broader 'social licence to operate'. This 'licence' functions - beyond the corporation - as a legitimated and legitimating multi-scalar mechanism through which to gain and maintain access to mineral resources and thus to establish viable and ongoing global production networks. Further, this informal regulation is shown to shape social relations and qualities of place conducive to competitive global mineral extraction and to facilitate the positioning of local communities and places in mineral global production networks.

T1  - Indicators of recovery for orange roughy (Hoplostethus atlanticus) in eastern Australian waters fished from 1987
AN  - 1732823574; PQ0002231376
AB  - Compared to an 18 year New Zealand study (Clark et al., 2000) we found multiple signs of recovery for orange roughy in Australian waters. Orange roughy were listed as conservation dependent in Australian waters in 2006, with most stocks reported to be well below 20% of estimated pre-fishing equilibrium biomass and closed to targeted fishing. The largest known spawning aggregations occur on the east coast of Tasmania. This area has been fished and monitored since 1987. A specific monitoring programme was established in 2006 to determine whether and at what rate the spawning sites would rebuild. Acoustic biomass estimates were on average 1.5 times higher than that expected from a recent stock assessment and between 2006 and 2013 have shown an increasing then decreasing trend. Positive signs of a population recovery include an increased biomass at the spawning sites since fishing ceased, large change in the age structure of the population and a 74% increase in the reproductive potential of females since 1987. Given the late maturation of orange roughy entering the spawning biomass (30 years) and the short duration of fishing (26 years), these changes represent pre-fishing recruitment still entering the fishery. Biomass, age and length frequency data were variable between and within spawning sites; this complicates the use of a single or multiple spawning sites to monitor the exploitation and recovery of the fishery.

T1  - Among-population pollen movement and skewed male fitness in a dioecious weed
AN  - 1701487674; PQ0001807506
AB  - Dioecious plant species are presented with the challenge of needing both males and females to be present to ensure seed production and self-sustaining populations. In this situation the contribution of pollen from outside sources to mating events may become reproductively important. Salix cinerea (willow) is used as an ecological model for investigating the importance of inter-population pollen movement for the local reproductive dynamics of a dioecious environmental weed using microsatellite-based paternity analysis. Nearly 40 % of seeds produced are sired by fathers from outside the local site (500 m) indicating that invasive S. cinerea populations are linked through pollen movement. Thus in the absence of males at a site up to 40 % of seed production would be maintained by immigrant pollen. Observed patterns of within-site mating dynamics revealed a highly skewed male fitness distribution with a small number of fathers being responsible for a large proportion of successful fertilisation events. High inter-population pollen flow for this dioecious weed suggests that between population reproductive dynamics may increase the likelihood of colonisation success of dioecious weeds. Control strategies that take into account inter-population pollen dispersal need to be developed for effective management.

AN  - 1701476188; PQ0001724140
AB  - Metal-based catalysts have been widely used for the aqueous-phase oxidation of organic pollutants for water purification. Metal-free catalysis in the oxidative degradation of pollutants is now reported by H. Sun, S. Wang, and co-workers on page 3036. Using density functional theory and rational design, sulfur and nitrogen co-doping into 2D carbon frameworks presents excellent catalytic efficiency due to synergistic effects.

T1  - Sulfur and Nitrogen Co-Doped Graphene for Metal-Free Catalytic Oxidation Reactions
AN  - 1701473988; PQ0001724134
AB  - Sulfur and nitrogen co-doped reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is synthesized by a facile method and demonstrated remarkably enhanced activities in metal-free activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for catalytic oxidation of phenol. Based on first-order kinetic model, S-N co-doped rGO (SNG) presents an apparent reaction rate constant of 0.043 plus or minus 0.002 min super(-1), which is 86.6, 22.8, 19.7, and 4.5-fold as high as that over graphene oxide (GO), rGO, S-doped rGO (S-rGO), and N-doped rGO (N-rGO), respectively. A variety of characterization techniques and density functional theory calculations are employed to investigate the synergistic effect of sulfur and nitrogen co-doping. Co-doping of rGO at an optimal sulfur loading can effectively break the inertness of carbon systems, activate the sp super(2)-hybridized carbon lattice and facilitate the electron transfer from covalent graphene sheets for PMS activation. Moreover, both electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and classical quenching tests are employed to investigate the generation and evolution of reactive radicals on the SNG sample for phenol catalytic oxidation. This study presents a novel metal-free catalyst for green remediation of organic pollutants in water. Facile synthesis of S and N co-doped graphene demonstrates superior catalytic activity in activation of peroxymonos-ulfate for phenol oxidation, providing 86.6-fold higher efficiency than graphene oxide, and 22.8, 19.7, and 4.5 times higher than pristine graphene, S-dope rGO, and N-doped rGO, respectively. Density functional theory calculations are carried out to elucidate the mechanism of the enhanced catalytic performances.

AB  - Polychron talks about the impact of real estate business in the environment. As REALTORS®, they all know the business is intimately tied to the environment. After all, the preamble to their Code of Ethics begins, "Under all is the land..." There's no way around the fact that development affects the land-along with the water and air. He suspects most of them are like him: someone whose respect for the environment matches his love for their industry. But that doesn't mean their priorities are identical. To them, environmental stewardship might mean imposing strict caps on development, but their trusted colleague three desks away might hold a more expansive view.

T1  - Estimating hydrogen sulphide dissipation rate constant under the influence of different chemical dosing
AN  - 1691290630; PQ0001642749
AB  - Sewer odour and corrosion is caused by the reduction of sulphide ions and the release of hydrogen sulphide gas (H sub(2)S) into the sewer atmosphere. This study investigates the dissipation of sulphide in the presence of NaOH, Mg(OH) sub(2), Ca/NO sub(3)) sub(2) and FeCl sub(3) and the dissipation rate is developed as a function of hydraulic parameters such as the slope of the sewer and the velocity gradient. Experiments were conducted in a 18 m experimental sewer pipe with adjustable slope to which, firstly no chemical was added and secondly each of the above mentioned chemicals was supplemented in turn. It was found that the performance of alkali substances (NaOH and Mg(OH) sub(2)) in suppressing the H sub(2)S gas emission was excellent while ferric chloride showed a moderate mitigating effect due to its slow reaction kinetics. Calcium nitrate was of little value since the wastewater used in this study experienced almost no biological growth.

T1  - Structural Diversity of Arthropod Biophotonic Nanostructures Spans Amphiphilic Phase-Space.
AN  - 1687649782; 25938382
AB  - Many organisms, especially arthropods, produce vivid interference colors using diverse mesoscopic (100-350 nm) integumentary biophotonic nanostructures that are increasingly being investigated for technological applications. Despite a century of interest, precise structural knowledge of many biophotonic nanostructures and the mechanisms controlling their development remain tentative, when such knowledge can open novel biomimetic routes to facilely self-assemble tunable, multifunctional materials. Here, we use synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering and electron microscopy to characterize the photonic nanostructure of 140 integumentary scales and setae from ∼127 species of terrestrial arthropods in 85 genera from 5 orders. We report a rich nanostructural diversity, including triply periodic bicontinuous networks, close-packed spheres, inverse columnar, perforated lamellar, and disordered spongelike morphologies, commonly observed as stable phases of amphiphilic surfactants, block copolymer, and lyotropic lipid-water systems. Diverse arthropod lineages appear to have independently evolved to utilize the self-assembly of infolding lipid-bilayer membranes to develop biophotonic nanostructures that span the phase-space of amphiphilic morphologies, but at optical length scales.

T1  - Identification of genes essential for pellicle formation in Acinetobacter baumannii.
AN  - 1686998959; 26047954
AB  - Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen, which has the ability to persist in the clinical environment, causing acute and chronic infections. A possible mechanism contributing to survival of A. baumannii is its ability to form a biofilm-like structure at the air/liquid interface, known as a pellicle. This study aimed to identify and characterise the molecular mechanisms required for pellicle formation in A. baumannii and to assess a broad range of clinical A. baumannii strains for their ability to form these multicellular structures. Random transposon mutagenesis was undertaken on a previously identified hyper-motile variant of A. baumannii ATCC 17978 designated 17978hm. In total three genes critical for pellicle formation were identified; cpdA, a phosphodiesterase required for degradation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), and A1S_0112 and A1S_0115 which are involved in the production of a secondary metabolite. While motility of the A1S_0112::Tn and A1S_0115::Tn mutant strains was abolished, the cpdA::Tn mutant strain displayed a minor alteration in its motility pattern. Determination of cAMP levels in the cpdA::Tn strain revealed a ~24-fold increase in cellular cAMP, confirming the role CpdA plays in catabolising this secondary messenger molecule. Interestingly, transcriptional analysis of the cpdA::Tn strain showed significant down-regulation of the operon harboring the A1S_0112 and A1S_0115 genes, revealing a link between these three genes and pellicle formation. Examination of our collection of 54 clinical A. baumannii strains revealed that eight formed a measurable pellicle; all of these strains were motile.
          This study shows that pellicle formation is a rare trait in A. baumannii and that a limited number of genes are essential for the expression of this phenotype. Additionally, an association between pellicle formation and motility was identified. The level of the signalling molecule cAMP was found to be controlled, in part, by the cpdA gene product, in addition to playing a critical role in pellicle formation, cellular hydrophobicity and motility. Furthermore, cAMP was identified as a novel regulator of the operon A1S_0112-0118.

T1  - Histological evaluation of sodium percarbonate exposure on the gills of rainbow trout.
AN  - 1686069903; 26036833
AB  - Ichthyophthirius multifiliis is a recurring problem in Australian rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss farms and requires strategically timed, repeat treatments for effective management. Sodium percarbonate (SPC) is permitted for use in Australia, with host safety margins based on the toxicity of acute exposures to hydrogen peroxide (HP), the active product released when SPC is added to water. The effects of exposure to HP released by SPC, of repeated doses and of doses exceeding 100 mg l-1 on rainbow trout are unknown. We exposed juvenile rainbow trout (mean weight: 30.5 ± 9 g) to repeated doses of 50, 150 and 250 mg l-1 SPC for 1 h on Days 1, 2, 7 and 8 of a treatment regime. The effect of SPC was assessed by histological evaluation of structural changes in gill tissue. Survival was 100% in all groups, but some fish exposed to 250 mg l-1 SPC displayed impaired swimming performance, and on Day 9 after the final treatment, oedema was present in 9.8% of lamella, which was significantly higher than the mean occurrence of 1.7, 4.2 and 1.3% in fish treated with 0, 50 and 150 mg l-1 SPC, respectively. These changes resolved within 24 h of the cessation of treatment. We conclude that SPC is safe to use on rainbow trout in doses of ≤150 mg l-1 at 17°C, however caution is advised at doses approaching 250 mg l-1. Water temperature, fish age, fish size and maturity, intensity of parasite infection and stocking density could alter the sensitivity of rainbow trout to SPC treatments.

T1  - The Introduction of Rapid Diagnostic Test for Malaria in Mozambique: Local Appropriation and Complementary Therapeutics
AN  - 1732834560; PQ0001825145
AB  - In 2008 Mozambique's Ministry of Health (MoH), with the technical and financial support of transnational and international organisations such as United Nations (UN) agencies, USAID (United States Agency for International Development) and INGOs (International Non-Governmental Organisations), amongst others, introduced the Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) for malaria to be implemented across the country. This new biomedical technology impacted not just clinical practice, where health workers had to draw blood to be able to diagnose malaria (parasitological confirmation), but interacted with local worldviews and therapeutic practices in ways that needed to be incorporated into therapeutic interventions, notwithstanding patients' overall acceptance of the reliability of RDTs.

T1  - Reconceptualizing green infrastructure for climate change adaptation: Barriers to adoption and drivers for uptake by spatial planners
AN  - 1732830684; PQ0002234317
AB  - Urban green infrastructure can help cities adapt to climate change. Spatial planning can play an important role in utilizing green infrastructure for adaptation. Yet climate change risks represent a different sort of challenge for planning institutions. This paper aims to address two issues arising from this challenge. First, it defines the concept of green infrastructure within the context of climate adaptation. Second, it identifies and puts into perspective institutional barriers to adopting green infrastructure for climate adaptation, including path dependence. We begin by arguing that there is growing confusion among planners and policy makers about what constitutes green infrastructure. Definitional ambiguity may contribute to inaction on climate change adaptation, because it muddies existing programs and initiatives that are to do with green-space more broadly, which in turn feeds path dependency. We then report empirical findings about how planners perceive the institutional challenge arising from climate change and the adoption of green infrastructure as an adaptive response. The paper concludes that spatial planners generally recognize multiple rationales associated with green infrastructure. However they are not particularly keen on institutional innovation and there is a tendency for path dependence. We propose a conceptual model that explicitly recognizes such institutional factors. This paper contributes to the literature by showing that agency and institutional dimensions are a limiting factor in advancing the concept of green infrastructure within the context of climate change adaptation.

T1  - Using a Global Botanic Gardens Database to Help Assess the Capabilities of Rare Eucalypt Species to Cope with Climate Change
AN  - 1732814495; PQ0002021166
AB  - Climate change impact analyses have focused mostly on natural distributions of plants and have generally ignored their intrinsic climatic adaptability. This may produce unreliable predictions of impacts. Eucalypts are potentially instructive for climate change studies, as many species have been assessed in commercial forestry trials outside the conditions of their natural distributions. However, rare eucalypt species, which usually have limited natural distributions, and are likely to be most susceptible to climate change, are often small or multi-stemmed species, which have generally not been included in commercial trials. This study used information for 12 rare eucalypt species from the PlantSearch database of Botanic Gardens Conservation International and assessed if this information can assist determining their climatic adaptability. The results should be treated with caution, but indicate that most of the 12 species are growing at some botanic gardens under annual mean temperature conditions that are warmer than where they occur naturally.

T1  - Natural convection problem in a Bingham fluid using the operator-splitting method
AN  - 1717488788; PQ0001978709
AB  - In this paper, natural convection in a square cavity with differentially heated vertical sides and filled with a Bingham fluid has been studied without any regularisation. The finite element method (FEM) based on the operator splitting method is utilised to solve the problem. This study has been conducted for the pertinent parameters in the following ranges: Rayleigh number Ra=10 super(3)-10 super(5) and the Prandtl number between 0.1 and 10. Moreover, the Bingham number is studied in wide ranges for different Prandtl and Rayleigh numbers. Results indicate that the heat transfer increases with the enhancement of the Rayleigh number, with a decrease in the size of the unyielded zones. For specific Rayleigh and Prandtl numbers, the increase in the Bingham number decreases the heat transfer. Furthermore, as expected, the growth of the Bingham number expands the unyielded sections in the cavity. Finally, for fixed Rayleigh and Bingham numbers, the unyielded regions grow with the augmentation of the Prandtl number. Comparisons with the previously published work, based on the augmented Lagrangian method, and the bi-viscosity model respectively are made.

T1  - Bayesian hierarchical models for analysing spatial point-based data at a grid level: a comparison of approaches
AN  - 1705063807; PQ0001806333
AB  - Spatial data are now prevalent in a wide range of fields including environmental and health science. This has led to the development of a range of approaches for analysing patterns in these data. In this paper, we compare several Bayesian hierarchical models for analysing point-based data based on the discretization of the study region, resulting in grid-based spatial data. The approaches considered include two parametric models and a semiparametric model. We highlight the methodology and computation for each approach. Two simulation studies are undertaken to compare the performance of these models for various structures of simulated point-based data which resemble environmental data. A case study of a real dataset is also conducted to demonstrate a practical application of the modelling approaches. Goodness-of-fit statistics are computed to compare estimates of the intensity functions. The deviance information criterion is also considered as an alternative model evaluation criterion. The results suggest that the adaptive Gaussian Markov random field model performs well for highly sparse point-based data where there are large variations or clustering across the space; whereas the discretized log Gaussian Cox process produces good fit in dense and clustered point-based data. One should generally consider the nature and structure of the point-based data in order to choose the appropriate method in modelling a discretized spatial point-based data.

T1  - Pathway to high throughput, low cost indium-free transparent electrodes
AN  - 1701502321; PQ0001712818
AB  - A roll-to-roll compatible, high throughput process is reported for the production of highly conductive, transparent planar electrode comprising an interwoven network of silver nanowires and single walled carbon nanotubes imbedded into poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS). The planar electrode has a sheet resistance of between 4 and 7 Omega [squ super(-1) and a transmission of >86% between 800 and 400 nm with a figure of merit of between 344 and 400 Omega super(-1). The nanocomposite electrode is highly flexible and retains a low sheet resistance after bending at a radius of 5 mm for up to 500 times without loss. Organic photovoltaic devices containing the planar nanocomposite electrodes had efficiencies of similar to 90% of control devices that used indium tin oxide as the transparent conducting electrode.

T1  - Restricting membership: assessing agency compliance and the effects of banning federal lobbyists from executive branch Advisory Committee service
AN  - 1683077721; 4673082
AB  - In October 2011, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued guidelines prohibiting lobbyists from federal advisory committee service. Issued as a corollary to Executive Order 13490-which placed limits on lobbyist's government service-OMB's guidelines suggest that lobbyists have had undue influence over policy making. This article explores limited advisory committee literature and examines lobbyists' potential advisory process influence. Using data on lobbyists who served on advisory committees between 2009 and 2012, the article finds that while lobbyists' service has declined, some continue to serve. To conclude, the article explores first-hand accounts from former advisory committee members to offer some perceived consequences of restricting lobbyist committee service.

T1  - A review and meta-analysis of the effects of multiple abiotic stressors on marine embryos and larvae
AN  - 1680461128; PQ0001499580
AB  - Marine organisms are simultaneously exposed to anthropogenic stressors with likely interactive effects, including synergisms in which the combined effects of multiple stressors are greater than the sum of individual effects. Early life stages of marine organisms are potentially vulnerable to the stressors associated with global change, but identifying general patterns across studies, species and response variables is challenging. This review represents the first meta-analysis of multistressor studies to target early marine life stages (embryo to larvae), particularly between temperature, salinity and pH as these are the best studied. Knowledge gaps in research on multiple abiotic stressors and early life stages are also identified. The meta-analysis yielded several key results: (1) Synergistic interactions (65% of individual tests) are more common than additive (17%) or antagonistic (17%) interactions. (2) Larvae are generally more vulnerable than embryos to thermal and pH stress. (3) Survival is more likely than sublethal responses to be affected by thermal, salinity and pH stress. (4) Interaction types vary among stressors, ontogenetic stages and biological responses, but they are more consistent among phyla. (5) Ocean acidification is a greater stressor for calcifying than noncalcifying larvae. Despite being more ecologically realistic than single-factor studies, multifactorial studies may still oversimplify complex systems, and so meta-analyses of the data from them must be cautiously interpreted with regard to extrapolation to field conditions. Nonetheless, our results identify taxa with early life stages that may be particularly vulnerable (e.g. molluscs, echinoderms) or robust (e.g. arthropods, cnidarians) to abiotic stress. We provide a list of recommendations for future multiple stressor studies, particularly those focussed on early marine life stages.

T1  - Iran, Gulf Security, and U.S. Policy
AN  - 1761660295; 2011-905320
AB  - Since the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979, a priority of US policy has been to reduce the perceived threat posed by Iran to a broad range of US interests, including the security of the Persian Gulf region. In 2014, a common adversary emerged in the form of the Islamic State (IS) organization, reducing gaps in US and Iranian regional interests, although the two countries have somewhat differing approaches over how to try to defeat the group.

T1  - DNA melting and genotoxicity induced by silver nanoparticles and graphene.
AN  - 1681916103; 25781053
AB  - We have revealed a connection between DNA-nanoparticle (NP) binding and in vitro DNA damage induced by citrate- and branched polyethylenimine-coated silver nanoparticles (c-AgNPs and b-AgNPs) as well as graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets. All three types of nanostructures triggered an early onset of DNA melting, where the extent of the melting point shift depends upon both the type and concentration of the NPs. Specifically, at a DNA/NP weight ratio of 1.1/1, the melting temperature of lambda DNA dropped from 94 °C down to 76 °C, 60 °C, and room temperature for GO, c-AgNPs and b-AgNPs, respectively. Consistently, dynamic light scattering revealed that the largest changes in DNA hydrodynamic size were also associated with the binding of b-AgNPs. Upon introduction to cells, b-AgNPs also exhibited the highest cytotoxicity, at the half-maximal inhibitory (IC50) concentrations of 3.2, 2.9, and 5.2 mg/L for B and T-lymphocyte cell lines and primary lymphocytes, compared to the values of 13.4, 12.2, and 12.5 mg/L for c-AgNPs and 331, 251, and 120 mg/L for GO nanosheets, respectively. At cytotoxic concentrations, all NPs elicited elevated genotoxicities via the increased number of micronuclei in the lymphocyte cells. However, b-AgNPs also induced micronuclei at subtoxic concentrations starting from 0.1 mg/L, likely due to their stronger cellular adhesion and internalization, as well as their subsequent interference with normal DNA synthesis or chromosome segregation during the cell cycle. This study facilitates our understanding of the effects of NP chemical composition, surface charge, and morphology on DNA stability and genotoxicity, with implications ranging from nanotoxicology to nanobiotechnology and nanomedicine.

AN  - 1767319734; 2011-910337
AB  - For most disasters across the nation, the affected local, state, or tribal governments have sufficient capabilities to respond to the incident. However, for disasters with consequences that require unique capabilities or that overwhelm the existing capabilities of a respective state or tribal government, Congress has authorized and appropriated a suite of deployable federal assets to support domestic disaster response operations. This report reviews several key concepts about these federal assets and highlights possible issues Congress may consider when evaluating their authorization and appropriation. Tables, Figures.

T1  - The prevention, detection and management of cancer treatment-induced cardiotoxicity: a meta-review.
AN  - 1680749643; 25948399
AB  - The benefits associated with some cancer treatments do not come without risk. A serious side effect of some common cancer treatments is cardiotoxicity. Increased recognition of the public health implications of cancer treatment-induced cardiotoxicity has resulted in a proliferation of systematic reviews in this field to guide practice. Quality appraisal of these reviews is likely to limit the influence of biased conclusions from systematic reviews that have used poor methodology related to clinical decision-making. The aim of this meta-review is to appraise and synthesise evidence from only high quality systematic reviews focused on the prevention, detection or management of cancer treatment-induced cardiotoxicity.
          Using Cochrane methodology, we searched databases, citations and hand-searched bibliographies. Two reviewers independently appraised reviews and extracted findings. A total of 18 high quality systematic reviews were subsequently analysed, 67 % (n = 12) of these comprised meta-analyses. One systematic review concluded that there is insufficient evidence regarding the utility of cardiac biomarkers for the detection of cardiotoxicity. The following strategies might reduce the risk of cardiotoxicity: 1) The concomitant administration of dexrazoxane with anthracylines; 2) The avoidance of anthracyclines where possible; 3) The continuous administration of anthracyclines (>6 h) rather than bolus dosing; and 4) The administration of anthracycline derivatives such as epirubicin or liposomal-encapsulated doxorubicin instead of doxorubicin. In terms of management, one review focused on medical interventions for treating anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity during or after treatment of childhood cancer. Neither intervention (enalapril and phosphocreatine) was associated with statistically significant improvement in ejection fraction or mortality.
          This review highlights the lack of high level evidence to guide clinical decision-making with respect to the detection and management of cancer treatment-associated cardiotoxicity. There is more evidence with respect to the prevention of this adverse effect of cancer treatment. This evidence, however, only applies to anthracycline-based chemotherapy in a predominantly adult population. There is no high-level evidence to guide clinical decision-making regarding the prevention, detection or management of radiation-induced cardiotoxicity.

T1  - Vibration based baseline updating method to localize crack formation and propagation in reinforced concrete members
AN  - 1691291181; PQ0001548412
AB  - Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) schemes are useful for proper management of the performance of structures and for preventing their catastrophic failures. Vibration based SHM schemes has gained popularity during the past two decades resulting in significant research. It is hence evitable that future SHM schemes will include robust and automated vibration based damage assessment techniques (VBDAT) to detect, localize and quantify damage. In this context, the Damage Index (DI) method which is classified as non-model or output based VBDAT, has the ability to automate the damage assessment process without using a computer or numerical model along with actual measurements. Although damage assessment using DI methods have been able to achieve reasonable success for structures made of homogeneous materials such as steel, the same success level has not been reported with respect to Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures. The proposed method is illustrated through examples and the results demonstrate the capability of the method to achieve the desired outcomes.

T1  - Deformed monazite yields high-temperature tectonic ages
AN  - 1808378806; PQ0001588484
AB  - The deformation of monazite in the polymetamorphic Sandmata granulite complex in India has been investigated by electron backscattered diffraction and sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP). Quantitative microstructural analyses document the development of deformation twins in {100}, {001}, and Graphic orientations; low-angle (<10 degree ) boundary development associated with dislocation creep; and the development of new grains due to dynamic recrystallization. These data represent the first quantitative evidence of crystal-plastic deformation of natural monazite. SHRIMP U-Th-Pb analysis shows that the host monazite preserves discordant ages as old as 1666 plus or minus 28 Ma, along a trend from ca. 1720 Ma to ca. 1000 Ma, with increasingly discordant ages recorded in zones of higher lattice distortion. Domains of recrystallized new grains within the monazite record a tightly clustered concordia age of 970 plus or minus 14 Ma. This age is interpreted to represent the timing of monazite dynamic recrystallization associated with deformation of the host protolith, and is consistent with partial resetting and Pb loss from domains deforming by dislocation creep. The complex, but systematic, relationship between microstructure and age data in monazite provide the first direct evidence of Pb isotope resetting during deformation. The approach illustrates a new methodology for the dating of deformation events in high-grade metamorphic rocks, which are typically difficult to constrain.

T1  - Unravelling the complexities in high-grade rocks using multiple techniques: the Achankovil Zone of southern India
AN  - 1808368689; PQ0002845082
AB  - The Achankovil Zone of southern India forms a distinct isotopic and structural boundary separating the Madurai Block to the north from the Trivandrum Block to the south. We combine isotopic and trace element geochemistry of major and accessory phases with phase equilibria modelling to provide quantitative constraints on the timing and conditions of peak metamorphism and the nature of the protoliths within the Achankovil Zone. The results suggest a clockwise pressure-temperature path with peak metamorphic temperatures of up to 950 degree C at pressures of around 0.7 GPa followed by high-temperature decompression. The metamorphic peak occurred at 545-512 Ma. U-Pb and Hf isotopic analysis of detrital zircon shows that the rocks have a strong affinity with the southern part of the Madurai Block. The Achankovil Zone is interpreted as the reworked southern margin of the Madurai Block, which was metamorphosed during the final stages of the assembly of Gondwana.

T1  - Scale-resolving simulation to predict the updraught regions over buildings for MAV orographic lift soaring
AN  - 1770278960; PQ0002219615
AB  - Birds have been observed to soar over ridges, mountains and cliffs to extend their flight duration with minimal energy expenditure. There is an opportunity to replicate this behavior to enhance the flight duration of Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) which operate in urban environments by exploiting the vertical flow component (orographic lift) of flow over buildings. This paper therefore studies the flow field in a representative urban environments to enhance the operational capability of MAV platforms by increasing range and endurance. The feasibility and benefits of employing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) are investigated, to simulate the turbulent wind flow conditions around a building configuration. A three-dimensional, scale-resolving simulation, utilizing a derivative of the Detached Eddy Simulation approach was considered. The atmospheric boundary layer velocity and turbulent intensity profiles were calibrated at the inlet boundary of the computational domain, to replicate nominal operating conditions. Recent validation of the Improved Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation (IDDES) approach has shown excellent agreement for a number of relevant flows. This provided the motivation for the study of a full-scale multi-building configuration, and suggests that the use of high-fidelity turbulence modeling is able to predict updraught regions of buildings in an urban environment.

T1  - Interprofessional education for first year psychology students: career plans, perceived relevance and attitudes
AN  - 1761681772; 201600799
AB  - Undergraduate psychology students have been largely excluded from interprofessional education (IPE) initiatives. In contrast to many health professions, undergraduate psychology students do not engage in work placements as part of their degree, and many enter careers outside the health care context. However, the collaborative skills gained through an IPE experience may well be beneficial to students who work in this wider context. This research examines whether undergraduate psychology students' views of IPE vary according to their planned career directions, and if so, whether the perceived relevance of IPE mediates the relationships. A sample of 188 Australian university undergraduate psychology students completed an online questionnaire following completion of a first-year IPE health sciences program. Path analysis indicated that psychology students' attitudes towards IPE are associated with both professional identification and practitioner orientation, fully mediated through the perceived relevance of IPE to future career and study plans. Stronger professional identification and practitioner orientation were associated with greater perceived relevance and more positive and less negative attitudes towards IPE. Placing a stronger emphasis on the generalizability of IP skills taught may increase students' awareness of the relevance outside of the health context, reducing disengagement of students planning alternative careers. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Gardening the Wild: Change in the Flora and Vegetation of a Suburban Coastal Reserve 1911-2013
AN  - 1753472905; PQ0002334742
AB  - Intensively used and managed remnants of native vegetation in cities can have characteristics that result as much from ecological gardening as processes independent of humans. We test the degree to which the changes in vegetation of the Bayside Reserve, Melbourne, are consistent with the outcome we would expect from an ecologically gardened nature and to what degree they reflect ongoing processes of exotic invasion and synthetic vegetation dynamics. We compared species lists from 1911, 1971 and 2013 and sample area data from 1971 and 2013. The flora became richer and more exotic, although some native plant species lost in 1971 had been reintroduced to the reserve in 2013. Between 1971 and 2013, the vegetation increased in cover, shrub and tree density, sample areas species richness, and nativeness, the latter two results being inconsistent with the usual patterns of increasing exoticness and decline in species richness with shrub and tree encroachment. These variations from normality were likely to have resulted from the impacts of planting of natives and weeding of exotics, activity that has created combinations of species that probably never occurred in pre-European vegetation. Although it might not be possible to return to pre-European ecosystems within this vegetation remnant, the gardened approximation helps some locally uncommon species survive and may make people more sympathetic to nature conservation as a whole.

T1  - Dynamic response of a rocky cliff under the sea wave pulse; a study along the Adriatic coast of Polignano (Apulia, Italy)
AN  - 1707522499; 2015-081847
AB  - The dynamic behavior of a rocky cliff under severe sea waves has been analyzed in the location of Polignano, facing on the Adriatic coast of Apulia, Southern Italy. In this area, the classical and, at the same time, complex problem of the stability of a cliff in calcareous rocks is burdened by the presence on the top of the cliff of the ancient town. To analyze the behavior of the cliff under the impulsive transfer of energy generated by the sea waves, two types of measures were carried out on the rocky mass: (1) ambient noise and (2) strong-motion records. The first type of measures, which may be executed in a short time with a high spatial density, has provided a recognition of the intrinsic and anisotropic dynamic behavior of the coastal cliff. The accelerometric records, carried out during heavy storms in December 2009 and January 2010, allowed to evaluate the energy transfer from waves to cliff, in terms of maximum values and temporal and directional distribution. To facilitate a correct interpretation of the measures, also a geomechanical characterization of the rocky mass has been carried out through the Rock Mass Rating system Bieniawski (The Geomechanics Classification in Rock Engineering Applications. Proceedings of the 4th ISRM cong., Montreux, p. 51-58, 1979), Bieniawski (Engineering Rock Mass Classifications. Wiley, New York, p. 251, 1989) and the Markland's test (A useful technique for estimating the stability of rock slopes when the rigid wedge sliding type of failure is expected, p. 10, 1972). The first allowed to classify the rocky masses in terms of quality, the second one to individuate the potential failure mechanisms of the cliff. Copyright 2014 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg

T1  - Pilosulins: a review of the structure and mode of action of venom peptides from an Australian ant Myrmecia pilosula.
AN  - 1683575287; 25725257
AB  - Myrmecia pilosula is an endemic Australian ant whose sting is a frequent cause of insect allergy in southeast Australia, and several deaths due to M. pilosula sting envenomation have been documented. In this review, we discuss the composition and bioactivity of M. pilosula venom. In addition to various enzymes and pharmacologically active constituents, the venom contains four families of highly basic low molecular weight peptides trivially named Pilosulins. These peptides are unique and have low structural homology to other Hymenoptera venom peptides. Moreover, M. pilosula venom is relatively simple in its composition with 5 predominant peptides making up about 90% by weight. These peptides display cytotoxic, hypotensive, histamine-releasing and antimicrobial activities. Within the M. pilosula venom, Pilosulin 3 has been classified as a major allergen and [Ile(5)]pilosulin 1 and Pilosulin 4.1 are classified as minor allergens. Several uncharacterised higher molecular weight components with allergenic activities have also been identified. The revised naming of M. pilosula venom peptides according to the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS) criteria for allergen nomenclature is discussed in this review.

T1  - Groundwater Storage and Depletion Trends in Tamil Nadu State, India
AN  - 1680449664; PQ0001483759
AB  - Groundwater irrigation is the most predominant method used across India. The south Indian state of Tamil Nadu is one of the largest producers of agricultural products, and is largely dependent on groundwater for irrigation. The impact of increased irrigation due to intensification of agricultural activities on groundwater levels has not been well researched, both spatially and temporally. Hence this study has used remote sensing data from NASA's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment and the Global Land Data Assimilation Systems to assess the total change in groundwater storage across the state of Tamil Nadu over a period of 11 years, from 2002 to 2012. The results show groundwater depletion at the rate of 21.4 km super(3) yr super(-1), which is 8% more than the annual recharge rate (19.81 km super(3) yr super( -1)) owing to the total rainfall of 1016 mm yr super(1). Maximum depletion was observed in 2008, while the least depletion was observed in 2002 with rates of 41.15 and 0.32 cm yr super(-1), respectively. Districts such as Dharmapuri, Vellore and Thiruvannamali encountered intense groundwater depletion. Observed spatiotemporal groundwater storage will benefit India's water resource managers and policymakers for the future management of groundwater resources to enhance food and water security.

T1  - Self-Assembled Functional Nanostructure of Plasmid DNA with Ionic Liquid [Bmim][PF₆]: Enhanced Efficiency in Bacterial Gene Transformation.
AN  - 1676591317; 25843437
AB  - The electrostatic interaction between the negatively charged phosphate groups of plasmid DNA and the cationic part of hydrophobic ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([Bmim][PF6]), initiates spontaneous self-assembly to form the functional nanostructures made up of DNA and ionic liquid (IL). These functional nanostructures were demonstrated as promising synthetic nonviral vectors for the efficient bacterial pGFP gene transformation in cells. In particular, the functional nanostructures that were made up of 1 μL of IL ([Bmim][PF6]) and 1 μg of plasmid DNA can increase the transformation efficiency by 300-400% in microbial systems, without showing any toxicity for E. coli DH5α cells. (31)P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron (XPS) spectroscopic analysis revealed that the electrostatic interaction between negatively charged phosphate oxygen and cationic Bmim(+) tends to initiate the self-assembly process. Thermogravimetric analysis of the DNA-IL functional nanostructures showed that these nanostructures consist of ∼16 wt % ionic liquid, which is considered to provide the stability to the plasmid DNA that eventually enhanced the transformation efficiency.

T1  - Tetraphenylethene-based star shaped porphyrins: synthesis, self-assembly, and optical and photophysical study.
AN  - 1674209220; 25822257
AB  - Supramolecular self-assembly and self-organization are simple and convenient ways to design and create controlled assemblies with organic molecules, and they have provoked great interest due to their potential applications in various fields, such as electronics, photonics, and light-energy conversion. Herein, we describe the synthesis of two π-conjugated porphyrin molecules bearing tetraphenylethene moieties with high fluorescence quantum yield. Photophysical and electrochemical studies were conducted to understand the physical and redox properties of these new materials, respectively. Furthermore, these derivatives were used to investigate self-assembly via the solvophobic effect. The self-assembled aggregation was performed in nonpolar and polar organic solvents and forms nanospheres and ring-like nanostructures, respectively. The solution based aggregation was studied by means of UV-vis absorption, emission, XRD, and DLS analyses. Self-assembled ring-shape structures were visualized by SEM and TEM imaging. This ring-shape morphology of nanosized macromolecules might be a good candidate for the creation of artificial light-harvesting nanodevices.

AB  - Countering the financial resources of the Islamic State (IS), which has seized significant territory in Iraq and Syria and threatened to conduct attacks against the US and its citizens, has become a significant national security priority for policymakers. While IS funding streams remain fluid, the group's largest revenue sources appear (based on open-source information) to include oil sales, taxation, extortion, and the sale of looted antiquities. Congress will explore whether US counterterrorist financing tools are capable of diminishing IS sources of funds. Tables, Figures, Appendixes.

T1  - Barriers along the U.S. Borders: Key Authorities and Requirements
AN  - 1767320256; 2011-910340
AB  - Congress is concerned with securing the borders. Federal law authorizes the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to construct barriers along the US borders to deter illegal crossings. DHS is also required to construct reinforced fencing along at least 700 miles of the land border with Mexico (a border that stretches 1,933 miles). At this time, fence construction has largely been halted, though DHS still needs to deploy fencing along nearly 50 additional miles of the southwest border to satisfy the 700-mile requirement. This report discusses key statutory authorities and requirements governing (DHS's) construction of barriers along the US borders. Tables, Appendixes.

T1  - Removal mechanisms of dew via self-propulsion off the gecko skin.
AN  - 1663655462; 25762647
AB  - Condensation resulting in the formation of water films or droplets is an unavoidable process on the cuticle or skin of many organisms. This process generally occurs under humid conditions when the temperature drops below the dew point. In this study, we have investigated dew conditions on the skin of the gecko Lucasium steindachneri. When condensation occurs, we show that small dew drops, as opposed to a thin film, form on the lizard's scales. As the droplets grow in size and merge, they can undergo self-propulsion off the skin and in the process can be carried away a sufficient distance to freely engage with external forces. We show that factors such as gravity, wind and fog provide mechanisms to remove these small droplets off the gecko skin surface. The formation of small droplets and subsequent removal from the skin may aid in reducing microbial contact (e.g. bacteria, fungi) and limit conducive growth conditions under humid environments. As well as providing an inhospitable microclimate for microorganisms, the formation and removal of small droplets may also potentially aid in other areas such as reduction and cleaning of some surface contaminants consisting of single or multiple aggregates of particles.

AB  - The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) uses the 'No Fly' list to identify individuals who pose a threat to aviation safety. Some persons have claimed that their alleged placement on the list was the result of an erroneous determination that they posed a national security threat, while others have been erroneously denied boarding due to their names being similar to a person on the list. This report provides an overview of the operation of the government's watchlists, examines some of the legal issues implicated by challenges to the No Fly list, and describes recent case law on the matter.

T1  - Water Impact of Rigid Wedges in Two-Dimensional Fluid Flow
AN  - 1765967864; PQ0001924982
AB  - A combined experimental and numerical investigation was conducted into impact of rigid wedges on water in two-dimensional fluid conditions. Drop test experiments were conducted involving symmetric rigid wedges of varying angle and mass impacted onto water. The kinematic behaviour of the wedge and water was characterised using high-speed video. Numerical models were analysed in LS-DYNA(R) that combined regions of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics particles and a Lagrangian element mesh. The analysis captured the majority of experimental results and trends, within the bounds of experimental variance. Further, the combined modelling technique presented a highly attractive combination of computational efficiency and accuracy, making it a suitable candidate for aircraft ditching investigations.

T1  - A comparative study of daytime-based methane emission from two wetlands of Nepal Himalaya
AN  - 1732831936; PQ0002216267
AB  - Natural wetlands constitute one of the major sources of methane emission to the atmosphere. Data on methane emission from wetlands on southern slopes of the Himalaya (SSH) have not been reported so far. Such data are very valuable for filling the gap and generating the whole emission patterns at regional or even global scale. We selected two wetlands at different altitudinal locations in Nepal, i.e. Beeshazar Lake (286 m a.s.l.) and Dhaap Lake (2089 m a.s.l.), to monitor the daytime methane emissions in monsoon season and dry season separately. Daytime methane emission varied between monsoon and dry seasons and also across different plant communities. The daytime methane emission variations were stronger in dry season than in monsoon season. The source/sink strengths of the two selected plant communities in each wetland were significantly different, presenting the strong spatial variation of methane emission within wetland. The methane emissions recorded in monsoon season were significantly higher (7.74 plus or minus 6.49 mg CH4m-2 h-1 and 1.00 plus or minus 1.23 mg CH4m-2 h-1 in low and high altitude wetlands, respectively) than those in dry season (1.84 plus or minus 4.57 mg CH4m-2 h-1 and 0.27 plus or minus 0.71 mg CH4m-2 h-1 in low and high altitude wetlands, respectively). Methane emissions from the low altitude wetland were significantly higher than those from the high altitude wetland in both of the seasons. Plant community height, standing water depth and soil temperature correlated to the methane emission from wetlands in this region.

T1  - Importance of the aromatic structures in volatiles to the in-situ destruction of nascent tar during the volatile-char interactions
AN  - 1687668314; PQ0001461028
AB  - This study aims to investigate the importance of aromatic structures in tar to the destruction of tar itself during the volatile-char interactions. The same nascent char was subjected to interactions with two distinctly different volatiles (e.g. coal volatiles and biomass volatiles) at 700-900 [degrees]C The results indicate that the aromatic structures in tar are more reactive with char than the non-aromatic structures, especially at high temperature (e.g. 900 [degrees]C). At lower temperatures ( or = 800 [degrees]C), the aromatic structures in tar are cracked and/or reformed into gases through interaction with the char; the aromatic structures from biomass can be reformed over char more easily than those from coal.

T1  - Lysine-Specific Demethylase 2 Suppresses Lipid Influx and Metabolism in Hepatic Cells
AN  - 1687668112; PQ0001421978
AB  - Cells link environmental fluctuations, such as nutrition, to metabolic remodeling. Epigenetic factors are thought to be involved in such cellular processes, but the molecular basis remains unclear. Here we report that the lysine-specific demethylase 2 (LSD2) suppresses the flux and metabolism of lipids to maintain the energy balance in hepatic cells. Using transcriptome and chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing analyses, we revealed that LSD2 represses the genes involved in lipid influx and metabolism through demethylation of histone H3K4. Selective recruitment of LSD2 at lipid metabolism gene loci was mediated in part by a stress-responsive transcription factor, c-Jun. Intriguingly, LSD2 depletion increased the intracellular levels of many lipid metabolites, which was accompanied by an increased susceptibility to toxic cell damage in response to fatty acid exposure. Our data demonstrate that LSD2 maintains metabolic plasticity under fluctuating environment in hepatocytes by mediating the cross talk between the epigenome and metabolism.

T1  - Query-biased summary generation assisted by query expansion
AN  - 1683504170
AB  - Query-biased summaries help users to identify which items returned by a search system should be read in full. In this article, we study the generation of query-biased summaries as a sentence ranking approach, and methods to evaluate their effectiveness. Using sentence-level relevance assessments from the TREC Novelty track, we gauge the benefits of query expansion to minimize the vocabulary mismatch problem between informational requests and sentence ranking methods. Our results from an intrinsic evaluation show that query expansion significantly improves the selection of short relevant sentences (5–13 words) between 7% and 11%. However, query expansion does not lead to improvements for sentences of medium (14–20 words) and long (21–29 words) lengths. In a separate crowdsourcing study, we analyze whether a summary composed of sentences ranked using query expansion was preferred over summaries not assisted by query expansion, rather than assessing sentences individually. We found that participants chose summaries aided by query expansion around 60% of the time over summaries using an unexpanded query. We conclude that query expansion techniques can benefit the selection of sentences for the construction of query-biased summaries at the summary level rather than at the sentence ranking level.

T1  - Heat and Solute Tracers: How Do They Compare in Heterogeneous Aquifers?
AN  - 1676349094; PQ0001433752
AB  - A comparison of groundwater velocity in heterogeneous aquifers estimated from hydraulic methods, heat and solute tracers was made using numerical simulations. Aquifer heterogeneity was described by geostatistical properties of the Borden, Cape Cod, North Bay, and MADE aquifers. Both heat and solute tracers displayed little systematic under- or over-estimation in velocity relative to a hydraulic control. The worst cases were under-estimates of 6.63% for solute and 2.13% for the heat tracer. Both under- and over-estimation of velocity from the heat tracer relative to the solute tracer occurred. Differences between the estimates from the tracer methods increased as the mean velocity decreased, owing to differences in rates of molecular diffusion and thermal conduction. The variance in estimated velocity using all methods increased as the variance in log-hydraulic conductivity (K) and correlation length scales increased. The variance in velocity for each scenario was remarkably small when compared to sigma 2ln(K) for all methods tested. The largest variability identified was for the solute tracer where 95% of velocity estimates ranged by a factor of 19 in simulations where 95% of the K values varied by almost four orders of magnitude. For the same K-fields, this range was a factor of 11 for the heat tracer. The variance in estimated velocity was always lowest when using heat as a tracer. The study results suggest that a solute tracer will provide more understanding about the variance in velocity caused by aquifer heterogeneity and a heat tracer provides a better approximation of the mean velocity.

T1  - Comment on Boretti (2013), 'Statistical analysis of the temperature records for the Northern Territory of Australia'
AN  - 1673392607; PQ0001352824
AB  - Boretti (Theor Appl Clim 114:567-573, 2013) presents an analysis of observed temperature trends in the Northern Territory, Australia, and claims that this analysis is inconsistent with trends reported by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology and thus that the Bureau of Meteorology results are flawed. This paper presents evidence that the results presented by Boretti (2013) are at least partly attributable to his failure to account for inhomogeneities in the underlying station data and to the use of time periods for trends which are different to those in the Bureau of Meteorology analyses with which he is comparing them. The evidence, as presented in this paper, therefore fails to support his conclusions of inconsistencies between the Bureau of Meteorology analyses and the station data.

T1  - Entry of exotic insects into Australia: Does border interception count match incursion risk?
AN  - 1668266492; PQ0001287832
AB  - Interception data collected at the Australian quarantine border on the orders Coleoptera, Hemiptera, Lepidoptera and Diptera during 1986-2005 were cross-referenced to incursion data. For insects from these four orders, detection at the quarantine border was a poor predictor of successful incursions over the corresponding period. Most species that successfully mounted an incursion during the 1986-2005 period were not recorded as being intercepted at the quarantine border over the same period. This may be due to either organisms arriving via pathways that are not subject to border inspection, or that the inspection sensitivity is low, or that species discovered are not reliably identified, recorded and reported. The end result is that the border inspection, at least during the period 1986-2005, would have been largely ineffective as an early warning system for a large proportion of incursions occurring over that period. This finding is contrary to the expectation that interception data is a useful tool for predicting future incursions and opens the question as to whether different approaches to collecting interception data might improve predictive power. That said, within those species that were intercepted, those with a higher interception rate had an increased probability of a recorded incursion, particularly for incursions before 1986, and so supports the argument that propagule pressure is a key factor in invasion establishment.

T1  - Implementing the lifelong personal health record in a regionalised health information system: The case of Lombardy, Italy
AN  - 1668265114; PQ0001284233
AB  - Background The use of personal health records (PHRs) can help people make better health decisions and improves the quality of care by allowing access to and use of the information needed to communicate effectively with others concerning their health care. Objective This work presents the lifelong PHR system of the Lombardy region as an example of the implementation of an e-health solution that is capable of providing personal clinical documents from a lifelong perspective, integrating different healthcare providers over a large territory. Methods The lifelong PHR is embedded in the regional healthcare information system of Lombardy, which is characterised by a large and heterogeneous territory, a large number of different healthcare providers and organisations, and a significant population. Results The lifelong PHR makes clinical documents available to healthcare professionals and citizens when needed, and it is automatically updated with all of the documents regarding a clinical event regardless of which healthcare provider is currently taking care of the patient. Present statistics show that the lifelong PHR has experienced a wide diffusion in a short period of time, and at the end of 2010, it was active for more than five million Lombardy citizens. Digital reports and e-prescription transactions have almost doubled since 2007 and have reached a coverage of almost 100%. Conclusions The qualified and exhaustive collection of patient clinical data and documents should impact daily medical practice, as well as the care pathways and services provided to patients, and should help in the renewal of health assistance and the simplification of patients' access to care.

T1  - Preferential Expression of a Bromoperoxidase in Sporophytes of a Red Alga, Pyropia yezoensis
AN  - 1668247244; PQ0001252930
AB  - A 2,158 bp cDNA (PyBPO1) encoding a bromoperoxidase (BPO) of 625 amino acids was isolated from Pyropia yezoensis. Phylogenetic analysis using amino acid sequences of BPOs suggested that P. yezoensis and cyanobacteria were grouped in the same clade and separated from brown algae. Genomic Southern blot analysis suggested that PyBPO1 existed as a single copy per haploid genome. RT-PCR revealed that PyBPO1 was actively expressed in filamentous sporophytes but repressed in leafy gametophytes under normal growth conditions. High expression levels of PyBPO1 in sporophytes were observed when sporophytes were grown under gametophyte conditions, suggesting that preferential expression of PyBPO1 occurs during the sporophyte phase. BPO activity of cell-free extracts from sporophytes and gametophytes was examined by activity staining on native PAGE gel using o-dianisidine. One activity band was detected in sporophyte sample, but not in gametophyte sample. In addition, we found that bromide and iodide were effective substrate, but chloride was not. BPO activity was observed-likely in chloroplasts-when sporophyte cells were incubated with o-dianisidine and hydrogen peroxide. Cellular BPO staining showed the same halogen preference identified by in-gel BPO staining. Based on GS-MS analysis, bromoform was detected in medium containing sporophytes. Bromoform was not detected under dark culture conditions but was detected in the culture exposed to low light intensity (5 mu mol m super(-2) s super(-1)) and increased under a moderate light intensity (30 mu mol m super(-2) s super(-1)).

T1  - Oxidative stress and metabolic responses to copper in freshwater- and seawater-acclimated killifish, Fundulus heteroclitus.
AN  - 1666725864; 25731683
AB  - In freshwater (FW), many of the main mechanisms of copper (Cu) toxicity have been characterized; however, toxicity mechanisms in seawater (SW) are less well understood. We investigated the effects of salinity on Cu-induced oxidative stress and metabolic responses in adult killifish, Fundulus heteroclitus. We exposed FW and SW-acclimated killifish to either low Cu (LC, 50 μg/L) or high Cu (HC, 200 μg/L) for 96 h and compared them to controls (CTRL) under the same salinities without added Cu. Cu exerted minimal influence on tissue ion levels in either FW or SW. Salinity generally protected against Cu bioaccumulation in the gills and liver, but not in the carcass. Hematocrit (Hct) and hemoglobin (Hb) levels were increased by LC and HC in both FW and SW, and blood lactate was reduced in FW-killifish exposed to LC and HC. Rates of oxygen consumption were similar across treatments. Salinity reduced Cu load in gill, liver and intestine at LC but only in the gills at HC. In general, Cu increased gill, liver, and intestine catalase (CAT) activity, while superoxide dismutase (SOD) either decreased or remained unchanged depending on tissue-type. These changes did not directly correlate with levels of protein carbonyls, used as an index of oxidative stress. Cu-induced changes in carbohydrate metabolic enzymes were low across tissues and the effect of salinity was variable. Thus, while salinity clearly protects against Cu bioaccumulation in some tissues, it is unclear whether salinity protects against Cu-induced oxidative stress and metabolic responses.

T1  - Productivity enhances benthic species richness along an oligotrophic Indian Ocean continental margin
AN  - 1664210389; PQ0001225022
AB  - Aims Marine soft sediments cover much of the deep ocean and are one of the largest habitats in the world, yet much of our understanding about their diversity is based on sampling in the North Atlantic. The deep-sea benthos provides a simplified environment in which to explore the processes which maintain species richness. Here we investigate the influence of energy and habitat complexity on benthic species richness along an oligotrophic continental margin within the Indian Ocean. Location The upper continental margin of western Australia (c. 13-35 degree S, 100-1000m depth). Methods We examined the species richness of selected polychaetes (Annelida) and crustaceans in sediment grab samples. We used generalized linear models and hierarchical partitioning to examine the relationship and relative importance of temperature, productivity (particulate organic carbon flux, net primary productivity and depth) and habitat complexity (sediment particle size diversity and grain size) on species richness at 51 sites. Results In contrast to benthic studies in the North Atlantic, we found that species richness was higher on the shelf than on the slope. Species richness was positively correlated with net primary productivity; this relationship was influenced by high species richness in two areas where oceanic mixing is known to enhance primary productivity. Habitat heterogeneity and temperature were less influential. Main conclusion This study represents one of the first extensive quantitative studies of deep-water benthos in the Indo-West Pacific, and provides further evidence that bathymetric gradients of species richness are variable between regions, probably due to variation in local oceanography and productivity regimes. Our findings provide support for the overriding influence of productivity on species richness, even over relatively small ranges in depth and productivity. As climate change is expected to modify biogeochemical fluxes to the deep seafloor, this is likely to affect the communities of deep-sea fauna.

AN  - 1735655882; 2011-899405
AB  - It has been three years since Congress enacted the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA), calling for the integration of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), or 'drones,' into the national airspace by September 2015. During that time, the substantive legal privacy framework relating to UAS on the federal level has remained relatively static. This report provides a primer on privacy issues related to various UAS operations, both public and private, including an overview of current UAS uses, the privacy interests implicated by these operations, and various potential approaches to UAS privacy regulation.

T1  - Characterization of C-terminal adaptors, UFD-2 and UFD-3, of CDC-48 on the polyglutamine aggregation in C. elegans.
AN  - 1664446777; 25721663
AB  - CDC-48 (also called VCP or p97 in mammals and Cdc48p in yeast) is a AAA (ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities) chaperone and participates in a wide range of cellular activities including modulation of protein complexes and protein aggregates. UFD-2 and UFD-3, C-terminal adaptors for CDC-48, reportedly bind to CDC-48 in a mutually exclusive manner and they may modulate the fate of substrates for CDC-48. However, their cellular functions have not yet been elucidated. In this study, we found that CDC-48 preferentially interacts with UFD-3 in Caenorhabditis elegans. We also found that the number of polyglutamine (polyQ) aggregates was reduced in the ufd-3 deletion mutant but not in the ufd-2 deletion mutant. Furthermore, the lifespan and motility of the ufd-3 deletion mutant, where polyQ40::GFP was expressed, were greatly decreased. Taken together, we propose that UFD-3 may promote the formation of polyQ aggregates to reduce the polyQ toxicity in C. elegans. Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Yemen's internationally backed transition government, which replaced the regime of former President Ali Abdullah Saleh in 2012, appears to have fully collapsed. President Abdu Rabbo Mansour Hadi went into hiding on March 25, 2015, after calling on the international community and his Gulf Arab allies to intervene militarily. US policymakers are concerned that without a willing counterterrorism partner such as President Hadi, the US may lack necessary intelligence cooperation on the ground to counter terrorist groups such as Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).

T1  - Combustion enhancement in a scramjet engine using oxygen enrichment and porous fuel injection
AN  - 1765968085; PQ0001225819
AB  - This paper reports on the experimental testing of oxygen-enriched porous fuel injection in a scramjet engine. Fuel was injected via inlet mounted, oxide-based ceramic matrix composite (CMC) injectors on both flow path surfaces that covered a total of 9.2 % of the intake surface area. All experiments were performed at an enthalpy of , flight Mach number 9.2-9.6 and an equivalence ratio of . At this condition, the engine was shown to be on the verge of achieving appreciable combustion. Oxygen was then added to the fuel prior to injection such that two distinct enrichment levels were achieved. Combustion was found to increase, by as much as 40 % in terms of combustion-induced pressure rise, over the fuel-only case with increasing oxygen enrichment. Further, the onset of combustion was found to move upstream with increasing levels of oxygen enrichment. Thrust, both uninstalled and specific, and specific impulse were found to be improved with oxygen enrichment. Enhanced fuel-air mixing due to the pre-mixing of oxygen with the fuel together with the porous fuel injection are believed to be the main contributors to the observed enhanced performance of the tested engine.

T1  - Separating Power Series: Presidential Influence v Control over Independent Agencies
AN  - 1735655938; 2011-899409
AB  - Congressional committees have launched probes to determine whether the White House exerted 'improper influence' on the development of the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC's) recently approved net neutrality rule. The FCC is an independent agency headed by five commissioners, one of whom is selected by the President to be the Chairman. Critics of the approved rule argue that it noticeably deviates from initial proposals put forth by the FCC and, instead, closely aligns with the approach the President publicly outlined in November 2014.

This report explains the procedural options for resolving differences through amendments between the houses and discusses the procedural effects of resolving differences through this process as an alternative to conference committee. The report is arranged to identify legislative options at each stage of the amendment exchange process, first for the Senate and then for the House. For each chamber, key procedural differences between amendments between the houses and conference committee are also discussed. Tables, Figures, Appendixes.

T1  - EPA and the Army Corps' Proposed Rule to Define 'Waters of the United States'
AN  - 1735653721; 2011-899413
AB  - On March 25, 2014, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) jointly announced a proposed rule defining the scope of waters protected under the Clean Water Act (CWA). This report describes the proposed rule -- which the agencies refer to as the Clean Water Rule -- and includes a table comparing the existing regulatory language that defines 'waters of the United States' with the proposed revisions. The proposal is particularly focused on clarifying the regulatory status of waters located in isolated places in a landscape. Tables, Appendixes.

T1  - Solar photocatalytic degradation of 4-chlorophenol: mechanism and kinetic modelling
AN  - 1727673303; PQ0002153202
AB  - The present study reports a mechanism and kinetic model of solar photocatalytic degradation of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) and its intermediates based on the experimental results. Three intermediate compounds hydroquinone (HQ), 4-chlorocatechol (4cCat) and phenol were found during the solar degradation of different 4-CP concentrations using 0.5 g/L TiO sub(2) as a photocatalyst. In order to obtain more details about the photocatalytic reaction pathway and the kinetic model, set of experiments were carried out using the major intermediates (HQ and 4cCat) as model reactants. To minimise the number of variables and give more accuracy to the kinetic model, the adsorption constants of 4-CP and its intermediates were obtained experimentally. The reaction mechanism for the photocatalytic degradation of 4-CP is proposed. The proposed model predicts well the concentrations of 4-CP and its by-products during the solar photocatalytic degradation at different initial concentrations. The model provides a very good fit of the experimental data and works for a wide range of 4-CP initial concentrations (25-100 mg/L).

AB  - The Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) for federal employees is a key element of the Federal Employees' Retirement System (FERS), especially for workers at the upper ranges of the federal pay scale. The Social Security benefit formula is designed to replace a greater share of income for low-wage workers than for high-wage workers. The FERS basic annuity will replace about 32% of final salary for an employee retiring at the age of 62 with 30 years of service. Tables, Appendixes.

T1  - Health Care for Veterans: Traumatic Brain Injury
AN  - 1735655682; 2011-899421
AB  - Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has become known as a 'signature wound' of Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF). This report focuses on current efforts of the Veterans Affairs' (VA's) Veterans Health Administration (VHA) to understand, identify, and treat TBI among veterans. It begins with an overview of TBI as background for the subsequent discussion of VA programs and services relevant to veterans with TBI, some of which focus on (or are limited to) OEF/OIF veterans.

AB  - The current Administration has engaged in a sustained assault on the rule of law. In the latest instance, notwithstanding Obamacare's unmistakably clear text, which limits subsidies to plans purchased through state-established exchanges, and notwithstanding that this limitation was absolutely fundamental to accomplishing Congress's purpose of incentivizing states to establish exchanges, the President decided that he would also offer subsidies for plans purchased through federally established exchanges. The American people deserve a health care law that works and a President who follows the law. Tables.

AN  - 1826516937; ED564140
AB  - On 12 November 2014 the Fairfax media reported allegations of cheating by students at a number of Australian higher education providers through the purchase of assignments, particularly through the MyMaster website. The Honorable Christopher Pyne MP, Minister for Education and Training, referred the matter to the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) to investigate further. TEQSA wrote to all registered Australian higher education providers. Those providers identified in the media were requested to report to TEQSA on action taken to investigate the allegations and remedy the matter should it prove necessary. All higher education providers were asked to share best practice approaches to minimising student misconduct in assessment and promoting academic integrity amongst students. This report is drawn from the responses received.

T1  - The hidden complexity of multi-species interactions
AN  - 1768582839; PQ0002652634
AB  - In this issue of the Journal of Vegetation Science, Michalet et al. used species removal experiments to detect direct and indirect species interactions in a sub-alpine grassland. They found evidence for competition, facilitation and a range of indirect interactions at the species level, but no measurable effects when aggregated at the community level. Their results raise fundamental questions regarding the role and importance of indirect interactions in structuring ecological communities.

T1  - Climate change projection for the western tropical Pacific Ocean using a high-resolution ocean model: Implications for tuna fisheries
AN  - 1727676165; PQ0002193518
AB  - The Western Pacific Warm Pool is a region of high tuna catch, and how future climate change might impact the tuna fisheries is an important regional issue. By using a high-resolution ocean model forced by the simulated climate of the 2060s, we investigate whether enhanced spatial resolution and bias correction of the mean state could alter the climate change projection for the western tropical Pacific and examine the consequences this might have for tropical tuna distributions. For most of the physical environmental variables, enhanced resolution and bias correction had only a minor impact on the projected changes. The climate projections showed a maximum surface warming east of the Warm Pool, a shoaling of the thermocline in the Warm Pool, and an eastward expansion of the Warm Pool. In the Warm Pool, the shoaling of the thermocline raises the nutricline into the photic zone and increases phytoplankton and primary productivity, a feature that is most evident in the high-resolution model projection but also weakly present in the coarse-resolution projection. The phytoplankton and primary productivity response to climate change was where ocean model resolution produced a clear difference. With enhanced resolution, the simulation had stronger and better-defined zonal currents, which were more consistent with observations. Along the equator, the high-resolution model enabled vertical current shear mixing to generate a sub-surface phytoplankton maximum both inside and outside the Warm Pool, which is an observed phenomenon. With climate change, the enhanced-resolution model projected enhanced vertical shear mixing, increased vertical supply of nutrients to the photic zone, and increased sub-surface phytoplankton concentrations. The increase in sub-surface phytoplankton concentrations helps to offset the decline in surface phytoplankton concentrations and results in a projection of almost no change in the western tropical Pacific primary productivity. In contrast, the low-resolution model projected a substantial reduction in phytoplankton concentrations and primary productivity; such a response is typical of climate change projections for the region. Importantly, enhanced resolution dramatically altered the projected response of phytoplankton and primary productivity to climate change. Using the enhanced-resolution model, the projected increase in the size of the Warm Pool with little change in primary productivity and in suitable habitat for skipjack tuna suggest that by the 2060s climate change will not have a large impact on skipjack tuna fisheries.

T1  - Impacts of climate change on marine top predators: Advances and future challenges
AN  - 1727671888; PQ0002193533
AB  - Oceanic top predators are the subject of studies by researchers under the international Climate Impacts on Oceanic Top Predators (CLIOTOP) program. A wide range of data sets have shown that environmental conditions, such as temperature and marine productivity, affect the distribution and biological processes of these species, and thus the activities of the humans that depend on them. In this special issue, 25 papers arising from the 2nd CLIOTOP symposium, held in Noumea, New Caledonia in February 2013 report the importance of realistic physical descriptions of oceanic processes for climate change projections, demonstrate a wide range of predator responses to historical climate variability, describe new analytical approaches for understanding the physiology, behaviour and trophodynamics, and project future distributions for a range of species. Several contributions discuss the implications for conservation and fisheries and show that resolving ecosystem management challenges and conflicts in the face of climate change is possible, but will require attention by decision-makers to issues that are broader than their traditional mandate. In the coming years, an increased focus on the development of management options to reduce the impacts of climate change on top predators and their dependent industries is needed.

T1  - Trailing edges projected to move faster than leading edges for large pelagic fish habitats under climate change
AN  - 1727671856; PQ0002193517
AB  - There is mounting evidence to suggest that many species are shifting their ranges in concordance with the climate velocity of their preferred environmental conditions/habitat. While accelerated rates in species' range shifts have been noted in areas of intense warming, due to climate change, few studies have considered the influence that both spatial temperature gradients and rates of warming (i.e., the two components of climate velocity) could have on rates of movement in species habitats. We compared projected shifts in the core habitat of nine large pelagic fish species (five tuna, two billfish and two shark species) off the east coast of Australia at different spatial points (centre, leading and trailing edges of the core habitat), during different seasons (summer and winter), in the near-(2030) and long-term (2070), using independent species distribution models and habitat suitability models. Model projections incorporated depth integrated temperature data from 11 climate models with a focus on the IPCC SRES A2 general emission scenario. Projections showed a number of consistent patterns: southern (poleward) shifts in all species' core habitats; trailing edges shifted faster than leading edges; shifts were faster by 2070 than 2030; and there was little difference in shifts among species and between seasons. Averaging across all species and climate models, rates of habitat shifts for 2030 were 45-60kmdecade-1 at the trailing edge, 40-45kmdecade-1 at the centre, and 20-30kmdecade-1 at the leading edge. Habitat shifts for 2070 were 60-70kmdecade-1 at the trailing edge, 50-55kmdecade-1 at the centre, and 30-40kmdecade-1 at the leading edge. It is often assumed that the leading edge of a species range will shift faster than the trailing edge, but there are few projections or observations in large pelagic fish to validate this assumption. We found that projected shifts at the trailing edge were greater than at the centre and leading of core habitats in all large pelagic fish included in our study. Faster shifts at species trailing edges were due to weaker spatial gradients in temperature in the north than in the south of the study region, in conjunction with relatively constant rates of warming across latitudes. Rather than assuming that leading edges will always move faster, this study suggests that spatial gradients of temperature could be important in determining differences in shifts at different points in species core habitats.

T1  - When 1+1 can be >2: Uncertainties compound when simulating climate, fisheries and marine ecosystems
AN  - 1727671619; PQ0002193531
AB  - Multi-disciplinary approaches that combine oceanographic, biogeochemical, ecosystem, fisheries population and socio-economic models are vital tools for modelling whole ecosystems. Interpreting the outputs from such complex models requires an appreciation of the many different types of modelling frameworks being used and their associated limitations and uncertainties. Both users and developers of particular model components will often have little involvement or understanding of other components within such modelling frameworks. Failure to recognise limitations and uncertainties associated with components and how these uncertainties might propagate throughout modelling frameworks can potentially result in poor advice for resource management. Unfortunately, many of the current integrative frameworks do not propagate the uncertainties of their constituent parts. In this review, we outline the major components of a generic whole of ecosystem modelling framework incorporating the external pressures of climate and fishing. We discuss the limitations and uncertainties associated with each component of such a modelling system, along with key research gaps. Major uncertainties in modelling frameworks are broadly categorised into those associated with (i) deficient knowledge in the interactions of climate and ocean dynamics with marine organisms and ecosystems; (ii) lack of observations to assess and advance modelling efforts and (iii) an inability to predict with confidence natural ecosystem variability and longer term changes as a result of external drivers (e.g. greenhouse gases, fishing effort) and the consequences for marine ecosystems. As a result of these uncertainties and intrinsic differences in the structure and parameterisation of models, users are faced with considerable challenges associated with making appropriate choices on which models to use. We suggest research directions required to address these uncertainties, and caution against overconfident predictions. Understanding the full impact of uncertainty makes it clear that full comprehension and robust certainty about the systems themselves are not feasible. A key research direction is the development of management systems that are robust to this unavoidable uncertainty.

T1  - Reconciling conflicts in pelagic fisheries under climate change
AN  - 1727671086; PQ0002193539
AB  - Fishing in the open ocean often results in unwanted effects on target species, and interactions with non-target species (direct interactions) or influences on the prey or habitat of target and non-target species (indirect interactions). A number of conflicts and trade-offs exist in the harvesting of pelagic species, including (i) maximizing future food production given the depleted state of some stocks; (ii) minimizing bycatch of non-target species, (iii) setting ecosystem allocation rules for non-target top predators, such as seabirds, and (iv) maximizing value and livelihoods for local economies. Climate change can be expected to exacerbate some of these conflicts as the ranges of species and their habitats change over varying geographic, depth and temporal scales. Understanding the distribution of these impacts can be difficult due to the scarcity of observational data on species and ecosystems. Resolving all these conflicts is achievable with current approaches and technologies. Nevertheless, managing fishery production systems to provide fish for food security and conserving biodiversity will be particularly challenging. The complexity added by climate change can be managed with greater use of early warning systems and precautionary management.

T1  - The trophodynamics of marine top predators: Current knowledge, recent advances and challenges
AN  - 1727670853; PQ0002193515
AB  - We review present understanding of the spatial and temporal diet variability (trophodynamics) of a range of pelagic marine top predators, at both early and adult life history stages. We begin with a review of methodologies used to advance our understanding of the trophodynamics of marine top predators, particularly in relation to climate change. We then explore how these developments are informing our understanding of the major trophic groups in food webs leading to, and including, marine top predators. We examine through specific examples how the impacts of ocean warming may affect pelagic food web relationships from both top-down and bottom-up perspectives. We examine the potential, in the absence of long-term data sets, of using large-scale spatial studies to examine how potential changes in biological oceanography could impact the biomass and composition of prey species, particularly the role of phytoplankton size spectra. We focus on examples from regions where biotic change with respect to climate change is likely. In particular, we detail the effects of climate change on oceanographic and bathymetric "hotspots" and provide the example involving seabirds in the Benguela Current system. We end by urging the development of international collaborations and databases to facilitate comprehensive ocean-scale understanding of climate impacts on marine top predators.

T1  - Dietary Patterns and Risk of Gallbladder Disease: A Hospital-based Case-Control Study in Adult Women
AN  - 1705064555; PQ0001501330
AB  - Gallbladder disease is one of the most prevalent gastrointestinal disorders that may result from a complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors. This study examined the association of dietary patterns with gallstone disease among Iranian women. This case-control study was conducted in general teaching hospitals in Tehran, Iran. Participants were 101 female cases and 204 female controls aged 40-65 years who were admitted for problems other than GBD. Dietary patterns were identified using principal components analysis based on food frequency questionnaire. Compared to the control group, cases were less educated, less physically active, and consumed more total energy (p<0.02). Having greater than or equal to 3 livebirths increased the risk of gallstone by more than 5 times, followed by having rapid weight loss, being single, having familial history of gallstone, and consuming high total energy. Two distinct dietary patterns were identified in women (healthy and unhealthy). After adjustment for several confounding variables, healthy dietary pattern was associated with a decreased risk of gallstone disease (OR=0.14, 95% CI 0.048-0.4) while unhealthy dietary pattern was associated with an increased risk (OR=3.77, 95% CI 1.52-9.36). These findings confirm that dietary pattern approach provides potentially useful and relevant information on the relationship between diet and disease. Identifying risk factors will provide an opportunity for prevention of gallbladder disease in developing countries facing an increased risk of obesity.

AN  - 1700673605; 201525945
AB  - This article relates relative deprivation (RD) theory to a program of research that began with studies of observers' judgments of 'tall poppies' or high-status people and that subsequently focused on perceived deservingness and its relation to discrete emotions. The article reviews early and more recent research from this program and its theoretical basis. The author proposes some implications for RD theory that include a more detailed consideration of how deservingness and entitlement might affect RD at the individual and group levels; how resentment relates to perceived deservingness; how other discrete emotions might blend with resentment; how the analysis could be extended to relative advantage; how to account for the role of envy; and the need to develop a motivational analysis for the link between RD and possible outcomes of RD such as collective action. The author concludes that ideas from deservingness theory have much to offer future developments in RD theory and research. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Sensory Evaluation of Locally-grown Fruit Purees and Inulin Fibre on Probiotic Yogurt in Mwanza, Tanzania and the Microbial Analysis of Probiotic Yogurt Fortified with Moringa oleifera
AN  - 1687665256; PQ0001501332
AB  - The purpose of this study was to establish new food products that increase the nutritional value and health benefits of the probiotic yogurt currently used in the Western Heads East (WHE) Project in Mwanza, Tanzania. The probiotic yogurt has established health benefits, and product development through fortification must not adversely affect the acceptability of yogurt or the viability of the probiotics. Both sensory testing and microbial analysis testing were conducted. The products tested were yogurt fortified with locally-grown fruit purees with inulin and Moringa oleifera. The results of the sensory evaluation showed that all yogurts were not rated significantly different from the control, except for appearance. The avocado puree without inulin rated significantly lower in all categories. The microbial analysis showed that Moringa oleifera did not negatively affect the growth of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1 in MRS, milk or yogurt, although a significant decrease was found after 5 weeks of storage at 4 degree C.

T1  - Healthy Eating Habits among the Population of Serbia: Gender and Age Differences
AN  - 1680443941; PQ0001501334
AB  - The purpose of the study is to examine healthy eating habits of the population of Serbia through three dimensions: knowledge, problems, and feelings as well as to determine whether there are any differences between genders and among different age-groups. The research instrument was an Eating Habits Questionnaire (EHQ) which consisted of 35 items. There were 382 respondents involved in the study. The reliability and factor structure of the questionnaire were verified by using factor analysis. The results of MANOVA showed that there is a significant difference in the habits concerning healthy eating between men and women [F (3,378)=4.26, p=0.006; Wilks' Lambda=0.97]. When the results for the dependent variables (knowledge, problems, and feelings) were considered separately, it was determined that there is no significant difference between men and women, which confirms the results of the t-test. The effect of age on the three dimensions of healthy eating habits was examined within three age-groups, by using ANOVA. The results showed that knowledge about healthy eating increases with age [F (2,379)=6.14, p=0.002] as well as positive feelings which occur as a result of healthy eating [F (2,379)=3.66, p=0.027]. Unlike ANOVA, MANOVA showed difference among the age-groups only when it came to the 'knowledge' variable. This study is important as it shows the current state of awareness on healthy eating habits in the researched populace and may be the basis for further research in this field in Serbia.

T1  - Dual Burden of Underweight and Overweight among Women in Bangladesh: Patterns, Prevalence, and Sociodemographic Correlates
AN  - 1680442840; PQ0001501336
AB  - The discourse of dual burden caused through underweight and overweight is well-documented globally but this issue and its connection with women's health in Bangladesh is yet to be explored widely. To enrich the current debate, this study, in the context of Bangladesh, examines the patterns, prevalence, and socioeconomic factors influencing the ever-married women of being underweight and overweight over normal weight. Data used in this study have been extracted from the most recent 2011 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey. To achieve results connected with the research objectives, both bivariate and multivariate statistical analyses have been employed. In bivariate analysis, we used seven categories of BMI cutoff points for Asian countries as prescribed by World Health Organization (WHO). Multinomial logistic regression model was constructed to investigate the net effect of socioeconomic factors on underweight, pre-overweight, and overweight over normal weight. The results confirm the co-existence of underweight and overweight among women as we found the prevalence of underweight, normal weight, pre-overweight, overweight, and obesity to be 24.1%, 46.7%, 12.8%, 13.5%, and 2.9% respectively. Compared to the richest, the women from the poorest households were significantly (p<0.001) most likely to be underweight (OR=2.75, 95% CI 2.27-3.35) and least likely to be overweight (OR=0.15, 95% CI 0.12-0.19) over normal weight. The urban women, compared to their rural counterparts, were significantly (p<0.001) less likely to be underweight (OR=0.80, 95% CI 0.71-0.91) and more likely to be overweight (OR=1.33, 95% CI 1.18-1.51) than normal weight. The other socioeconomic grades that were most marked to be underweight and overweight are age, women's education, marital status, age at first childbirth, parity, number of children aged less than or equal to 5 years at the household, and food security. The findings confirm the dual burden of both under- and overweight. Systematic and regular monitoring and surveillance of the social trajectory of nutritional status of women and men in Bangladesh is crucial to develop apposite strategy that addresses the persistent and chronic problem of underweight and the emerging problem of overweight. The dual existence of both types of malnutrition among women in Bangladesh must be taken into consideration so that public health interventions may be adopted through appropriate policy.

T1  - Cholera Outbreak Linked with Lack of Safe Water Supply Following a Tropical Cyclone in Pondicherry, India, 2012
AN  - 1680442492; PQ0001501329
AB  - In the aftermath of a severe cyclonic storm on 7 January 2012, a cluster of acute diarrhoea cases was reported from two localities in Pondicherry, Southern India. We investigated the outbreak to identify causes and recommend control measures. We defined a case as occurrence of diarrhoea of more than three loose stools per day with or without vomiting in a resident of affected areas during 6-18 January 2012. We used active (door-to-door survey) and stimulated passive (healthy facility-based) surveillance to identify cases. We described the outbreak by time, place, and person. We compared the case-patients with up to three controls without any apparent signs and symptoms of diarrhoea and matched for age, gender, and neighbourhood. We calculated matched odds ratio (MOR), 95% confidence intervals (CI), and population attributable fractions (PAF). We collected rectal swabs and water samples for laboratory diagnosis and tested water samples for microbiological quality. We identified 921 cases and one death among 8,367 residents (attack rate: 11%, case-fatality: 0.1%). The attack rate was the highest among persons of 50 years and above (14%) and females (12%). The outbreak started on 6 January and peaked on the 9th and lasted till 14 January. Cases were clustered around two major leakages in water supply system. Nine of the 16 stool samples yielded V. cholerae O1 Ogawa. We identified that consumption of water from the public distribution system (MOR=37, 95% CI 4.9-285, PAF: 97%), drinking unboiled water (MOR=35, 95% CI 4.5-269, PAF: 97%), and a common latrine used by two or more households (MOR=2.7, 95% CI 1.3-5.6) were independently associated with cholera. Epidemiological evidence suggested that this outbreak was due to ingestion of water contaminated by drainage following rains during cyclone. We recommended repair of the water supply lines, cleaning-up of the drains, handwashing, and drinking of boiled water.

T1  - Unmet Need for Family Planning: Implication for Under-five Mortality in Nigeria
AN  - 1680442478; PQ0001501344
AB  - There are gaps in evidence on whether unmet need for family planning has any implication for under-five mortality in Nigeria.This study utilized 2008 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey data to examine the effect of unmet need on under-five mortality. Cox regression analysis was performed on 28,647 children born by a nationally-representative sample of 18,028 women within the five years preceding the survey. Findings indicated elevated risks of under-five death for children whose mothers had unmet need for spacing [Hazard ratio (HR): 1.60, confidence interval (CI) 1.37-1.86, p<0.001] and children whose mothers had unmet need for limiting (HR: 1.78, CI 1.48-2.15, p<0.001) compared to children whose mothers had met need. These findings were consistent after adjusting for the effects of factors that could confound the association. Findings of this study underscore the need to address the present level of unmet need for family planning in Nigeria, if the country would achieve meaningful reduction in under-five mortality.

T1  - Association of Alcohol Consumption with Specific Biomarkers: A Cross-sectional Study in South Africa
AN  - 1680441229; PQ0001501340
AB  - Alcohol consumption plays an important role in the health transition associated with urbanization in developing countries. Thus, reliable tools for assessing alcohol intake levels are necessary. We compared two biological markers of alcohol consumption and self-reported alcohol intakes in participants from urban and rural South African communities. This cross-sectional epidemiological survey was part of the North West Province, South African leg of the 12-year International Prospective Urban and Rural Epidemiology (PURE) study which investigates the health transition in urban and rural subjects. A total of 2,010 apparently healthy African volunteers (35 years and older) were recruited from a sample of 6,000 randomly-selected households. Alcohol consumption was assessed through self-reports (24-hour recalls and quantitative food frequency questionnaire) and by two biological markers: percentage carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (%CDT) and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT). Of the 716 men and 1,192 women volunteers, 64% and 33% respectively reported regular alcohol consumption. Reported mean habitual intakes of drinker men and women were 29.9 ( plus or minus 30.0) and 23.3 ( plus or minus 29.1) g of pure alcohol per day. Reported habitual intake of the whole group correlated positively and significantly with both %CDT (R=0.32; p less than or equal to 0.01) and GGT (R=0.43; p less than or equal to 0.01). The correlation between the two biomarkers was low (0.211; p less than or equal to 0.01). GGT and %CDT values should be interpreted with care in Africans as self-reported non-drinker men and women had elevated levels of GGT (19% and 26%) and %CDT (48% and 38%). A need exists for a more specific biological marker for alcohol consumption in black Africans.

T1  - Neglected Value of Small Population-based Surveys: A Comparison with Demographic and Health Survey Data
AN  - 1680440053; PQ0001501347
AB  - We believe that global health practice and evaluation operate with misleading assumptions about lack of reliability of small population-based health surveys (district level and below), leading managers and decision-makers to under-use this valuable information and programmatic tool and to rely on health information from large national surveys when neither timing nor available data meet their needs. This paper uses a unique opportunity for comparison between a knowledge, practice, and coverage (KPC) household survey and Rwanda Demographic and Health Survey (RDHS) carried out in overlapping timeframes to disprove these enduring suspicions. Our analysis shows that the KPC provides coverage estimates consistent with the RDHS estimates for the same geographic areas. We discuss cases of divergence between estimates. Application of the Lives Saved Tool to the KPC results also yields child mortality estimates comparable with DHS-measured mortality. We draw three main lessons from the study and conclude with recommendations for challenging unfounded assumptions against the value of small household coverage surveys, which can be a key resource in the arsenal of local health programmers.

T1  - A boat hitchhiker's guide to survival: Cabomba caroliniana desiccation resistance and survival ability
AN  - 1673391670; PQ0001353092
AB  - Cabomba caroliniana is a submersed macrophyte that has become a serious invader. Cabomba predominantly spreads by stem fragments, in particular through unintentional transport on boat trailers ('hitch hiking'). Desiccation resistance affects the potential dispersal radius. Therefore, knowledge of maximum survival times allows predicting future dispersal. Experiments were conducted to assess desiccation resistance and survival ability of cabomba fragments under various environmental scenarios. Cabomba fragments were highly tolerant of desiccation. However, even relatively low wind speeds resulted in rapid mass loss, indicating a low survival rate of fragments exposed to air currents, such as fragments transported on a boat trailer. The experiments indicated that cabomba could survive at least 3 h of overland transport if exposed to wind. However, even small clumps of cabomba could potentially survive up to 42 h. Thus, targeting the transport of clumps of macrophytes should receive high priority in management. The high resilience of cabomba to desiccation demonstrates the risk of continuing spread. Because of the high probability of fragment viability on arrival, preventing fragment uptake on boat trailers is paramount to reduce the risk of further spread. These findings will assist improving models that predict the spread of aquatic invasive macrophytes.

T1  - 3D-hierarchically structured MnO sub(2) for catalytic oxidation of phenol solutions by activation of peroxymonosulfate: Structure dependence and mechanism
AN  - 1669857079; PQ0001170331
AB  - Hierarchical materials have facilitated fascinating applications in heterogeneous catalysis due to that micro-sized bulk is easily separable and nano-sized sub-blocks can significantly enhance catalytic performance. In this study, corolla-like delta -MnO sub(2) with sub-blocks of nanosheets, and urchin-shaped alpha -MnO sub(2) with sub-blocks of nanorods were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal route. The hydrothermal temperature significantly influenced the crystal structure, morphology and textural structure of the obtained three-dimensional (3D) MnO sub(2) catalysts. The catalytic activities of three samples prepared at 60, 100 and 110[degrees]C (denoted as Mn-60, -100 and -110, respectively) were thoroughly evaluated by activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for catalytic oxidation of phenol solutions. Based on first-order kinetics, the rate constants of Mn-60, -100 and -110 catalysts were determined to be 0.062,0.132, and 0.075 min super(-1), respectively. The activation energy of Mn-100 in catalytic oxidation of phenol solutions was estimated to be 25.3 kJ/mol. The catalytic stability of Mn-100 was also tested and discussed by monitoring Mn leaching. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), quenching tests, total organic carbon (TOC) analysis and identification of intermediates were applied to illustrate the activation processes of PMS and the mechanism of phenol degradation.

T1  - Comparing ecophysiological traits and evapotranspiration of an invasive exotic, Pinus halepensis in native woodland overlying a karst aquifer
AN  - 1668258045; PQ0001249000
AB  - Invasion by exotic plant species into water-limited environments has the potential to change the ecosystem water balance and may further exacerbate water scarcity issues. Here, we compared ecophysiological traits related to tree water use (sap flux, sapwood density, leaf and soil water potentials) and actual evapotranspiration (ET sub(a)) of the invasive Pinus halepensis to native tree and shrub species. We hypothesized that the invasive pine species would possess traits that are consistent with the potential to use more water than native species, which would be supported by higher ET sub(a) in areas invaded by pine. We found higher rates of sap flux for the invasive P.halepensis (5.5cmh super(-1)) per unit sapwood area compared with the native species (<3.5cmh super(-1)). In addition, P.halepensis sapwood was significantly less dense than the sapwood of the native species, suggesting higher sapwood conductivity facilitated the faster sap flux. Comparison of remotely sensed ET sub(a) before and after P.halepensis removal within a Eucalyptus camaldulensis stand demonstrated a reduction in ET sub(a) by an average of 50( plus or minus 11 SE)mmyear super(-1) in the 2years after removal, relative to the ET sub(a) from an undisturbed, intact E. camaldulensis stand. This study suggests that active management of this invasive species should reduce overall ET sub(a) losses and thereby exert a positive influence on the availability of soil moisture for groundwater recharge.

T1  - Ecotoxicology of Highly Treated Mine Waters: Lessons from an Australian Mine
TT  - Oekotoxikologie von gut gereinigten Grubenwaessern - Erfahrungen von einem Australischen Bergwerk
AN  - 1668250802; PQ0001203854
AB  - Mining operations commonly treat mine water prior to discharging it to the environment. Results of biological toxicity tests and Toxicity Identification Evaluations have shown that environmental risks can still exist for these highly treated waters. We present examples for mine waters that were treated using high density sludge-microfiltration-reverse osmosis and brine concentration processes. While such treatment substantially reduces the primary toxicity of the water, three key factors that could affect environmental consequences may arise or persist: (1) residual contaminants may still be at toxic concentrations, (2) the bioavailability of residual contaminants may increase, and (3) the treated water may be nutrient or major ion deficient. Appropriate strategies for the management of these treated waters should consider that toxicity or other water quality risks may still exist and that these will differ from those of the untreated water.Original Abstract: Bergwerke reinigen normalerweise ihr Grubenwasser bevor es in den Vorfluter abgegeben wird. Die Ergebnisse von toxikologischen Tests sowie von Untersuchungen zur Toxizitaet zeigen, dass diese gut gereinigten Grubenwasser nach wie vor Umweltrisiken darstellen konnen. Wir praesentieren Beispiele von Grubenwaessern die mittels Dickschlamm-Mikrofiltration-Umkehrosmose sowie weiterer Aufkonzentrierung des Konzentrats gereinigt wurden. Diese Prozesse verringern die urspruengliche Toxizitaet des Wassers deutlich. Es kann jedoch dazu kommen, dass drei wichtige, umweltrelevante Faktoren entstehen oder bestehen bleiben: 1) Restverunreinigungen konnen in noch toxischen Konzentrationen vorliegen, 2) die Bioverfuegbarkeit der Restverunreinigungen wird erhoht und 3) das Wasser kann einen Mangel an Naehrstoffen oder Hauptionen aufweisen. Entsprechende Strategien fuer das Management dieser gereinigten Waesser sollten daher beruecksichtigen, dass diese nach wie vor Toxizitaet oder Risiken aufweisen konnen, die sich von denen des ungereinigten Wassers unterscheiden.

TT  - Utilisation des isotopes stables comme indicateurs de l'origine de l'eau et de la salinite dans une zone humide cotiere du Sud-Est Australien: identification des eaux marines residuelles et implications pour les changements a venir
AN  - 1668247747; PQ0001252305
AB  - The Lake Connewarre Complex is an internationally protected wetland in southeast Australia, undergoing increasing environmental change due to urbanisation. Stable isotopes of water ( delta super(18)O and delta super(2)H) and other geochemical indicators were used to assess sources of water and salinity in the shallow groundwater and surface-water systems, and to better understand groundwater/surface-water interactions. While much of the shallow groundwater is saline (from 1.27 to 50.3 g/L TDS) with overlapping salinities across water groups, stable isotopes allow clear delineation of two distinct sources of water and salinity: marine water with delta super(18)O between -1.4 and +1.3 ppt and ion ratios characteristic of seawater; and meteoric water with delta super(18)O between -6.1 and -3.6 ppt containing cyclic salts, probably concentrated by plant transpiration. Groundwater bodies in shallow sediments beneath the wetlands have salinities and stable isotopic compositions intermediate between fresh wetland surface water and a marine water end-member. This marine-type water is likely relict seawater emplaced when the wetlands were connected to the estuary, prior to modern river regulation. Freshwater input to underlying groundwater is a recent consequence of this regulation. Future predicted changes such as increased stormwater inflow, will increase rates of freshwater leakage to shallow groundwater, favouring the proliferation of exotic reed species.Original Abstract: Le complexe du Lac Connewarre est une zone humide, internationalement protegee dans le sud-est de l'Australie, subissant le changement environnemental croissant en raison de l'urbanisation. Les isotopes stables d'eau ( delta super(18)O et delta super(2)H) et d'autres indicateurs geochimiques ont ete utilises pour evaluer l'origine de l'eau et la salinite dans les systemes aquiferes superficiels et les eaux de surface, et pour mieux comprendre les interactions entre les eaux souterraines et les eaux de surface. Tandis qu'une grande partie de l'eau superficielle souterraine est saline (de 1.27 a 50.3 g/L TDS) avec des salinites se chevauchant a travers les groupes d'eau, les isotopes stables permettent une claire differenciation entre deux sources distinctes d'eau et de salinite: l'eau marine avec un delta super(18)O entre -1.4 et 1.3 ppt et des rapports ioniques caracteristiques de l'eau de mer; et l'eau meteorique avec un delta super(18)O entre -6.1 et -3.6 ppt contenant des sels cycliques, probablement concentres par la transpiration vegetale. Les masses d'eau souterraine contenues dans les sediments superficiels situes au-dessous des zones humides ont des salinites et des compositions en isotopes stables intermediaires entre les deux poles de melange que sont les eaux de la zone humide et les eaux marines. Ce facies d'eau marine correspond probablement a de l'eau de mer residuelle mise en place lorsque la zone humide etait connectee a l'estuaire, avant le regime fluvial actuel. L'apport d'eau douce a l'eau souterraine sous-jacente est une consequence recente de ce regime. Les changements prevus dans le futur, comme une augmentation d'apports d'eaux pluviales, augmentera la proportion d'eau douce s'infiltrant dans l'aquifere superficiel, favorisant la proliferation d'especes de roseaux exotiques.

T1  - Setting the stage for a global-scale trophic analysis of marine top predators: a multi-workshop review
AN  - 1664207670; PQ0001203413
AB  - Global-scale studies of marine food webs are rare, despite their necessity for examining and understanding ecosystem level effects of climate variability. Here we review the progress of an international collaboration that compiled regional diet datasets of multiple top predator fishes from the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and developed new statistical methods that can be used to obtain a comprehensive ocean-scale understanding of food webs and climate impacts on marine top predators. We loosely define top predators not as species at the apex of the food web, but rather a guild of large predators near the top of the food web. Specifically, we present a framework for world-wide compilation and analysis of global stomach-contents and stable-isotope data of tunas and other large pelagic predatory fishes. To illustrate the utility of the statistical methods, we show an example using yellowfin tuna in a "test" area in the Pacific Ocean. Stomach-contents data were analyzed using a modified (bagged) classification tree approach, which is being prepared as an R statistical software package. Bulk delta super(15)N values of yellowfin tuna muscle tissue were examined using a Generalized Additive Model, after adjusting for spatial differences in the delta super(15)N values of the baseline primary producers predicted by a global coupled ocean circulation-biogeochemical-isotope model. Both techniques in tandem demonstrated the capacity of this approach to elucidate spatial patterns of variations in both forage species and predator trophic positions and have the potential to predict responses to climate change. We believe this methodology could be extended to all marine top predators. Our results emphasize the necessity for quantitative investigations of global-scale datasets when evaluating changes to the food webs underpinning top ocean predators under long-term climatic variability.

T1  - Public division about climate change rooted in conflicting socio-political identities
AN  - 1664202975; PQ0001190069
AB  - Of the climate science papers that take a position on the issue, 97% agree that climate change is caused by humans, but less than half of the US population shares this belief. This misalignment between scientific and public views has been attributed to a range of factors, including political attitudes, socio-economic status, moral values, levels of scientific understanding, and failure of scientific communication. The public is divided between climate change 'believers' (whose views align with those of the scientific community) and 'sceptics' (whose views are in disagreement with those of the scientific community). We propose that this division is best explained as a socio-political conflict between these opposing groups. Here we demonstrate that US believers and sceptics have distinct social identities, beliefs and emotional reactions that systematically predict their support for action to advance their respective positions. The key implication is that the divisions between sceptics and believers are unlikely to be overcome solely through communication and education strategies, and that interventions that increase angry opposition to action on climate change are especially problematic. Thus, strategies for building support for mitigation policies should go beyond attempts to improve the public's understanding of science, to include approaches that transform intergroup relations.

T1  - Improved air-sea flux algorithms in an ocean-atmosphere coupled model for simulation of global ocean SST and its tropical Pacific variability
AN  - 1664195784; PQ0001241211
AB  - A revised algorithm for air-sea exchange parameterization of momentum, sensible and latent heat flux improves the climate simulation of the global distribution of sea surface temperature (SST) and tropical Pacific variability of SST. Based upon an analysis of studies from field programs, we apply the revised algorithm with new expressions for surface momentum and scalar roughness length dependent on 10-m winds in neutral condition, and evaluate them in the ocean-atmosphere coupled model of the Australian Community Climate and Earth-System Simulator. The revised algorithm improves simulations for mean global SST distribution, demonstrated with Pearson's correlation indices showing corrections to a net fraction of 28 % over the global oceans. Being focused on the tropical Pacific, the algorithm eases the tropical SST cold tongue bias, and improves predictability of ENSO variability with better representations of the standard deviation of the Nino-3.4 index, especially the skewness of the index for nonlinearity of ENSO variability. Bjerknes and thermodynamical feedbacks are applied to understand the effects of the revised algorithm on the predictability of the Nino indices.

T1  - Scalar considerations in carrying capacity assessment: an Australian example
AN  - 1664193913; PQ0001240523
AB  - Regional resource self-sufficiency has been proposed as a way to improve food security by lessening the demand on long-distance transport. An online tool, the Carrying Capacity Dashboard, was developed for Australian conditions in order to gauge self-sufficiency at three different scales: regional, state and national. It allows users to test a variety of societal behaviours such as diet, biofuel production, farming systems and ecological protection practices. Analysis developed from the Dashboard tests the effects of various resource consumption patterns on land carrying capacity. Findings reveal that Australia's current carrying capacity is estimated to be over 40 million, but if calculated on a regional basis, this is reduced by almost half.

T1  - Spatial and temporal variations of, and the impact of climate change on, the dry season crop irrigation requirements in Bangladesh
AN  - 1660431158; PQ0001112497
AB  - Sustaining irrigation is vital for ensuring future food security in the face of population growth and a changing climate in Bangladesh. In this study, a daily soil water balance simulation model was used to estimate the net irrigation requirements of nine crops including Boro rice for the historical period of 1985-2010 and for future climate scenarios of 2030 and 2050 dry and average conditions using the A1B emission scenario. The average net irrigation requirement of Boro rice, the main crop, is 676 mm with temporally averaged spatial variation of 644-779 mm and spatially averaged temporal variation of 570-755 mm for base case planting on clay loam soil. The variations are due to the variation in crop evapotranspiration and rainfall during the cropping period. Changing planting or sowing date affects the net irrigation requirement which for Boro rice is lower in early (October-November) or late planting (January-February). The net irrigation requirement of Boro rice is about twice that required by wheat, maize, potato, tomato and sunflower, three times that of pulses and 5-6 times that required by oilseeds. The impact of climate change on irrigation requirements of Boro rice is small. The average irrigation requirement is projected to increase by a maximum of 3 % for the 2050 dry scenario. For other crops this is projected to increase by 1-5 % depending on the crop and the time of sowing/planting.

T1  - Estimating growth of tropical tunas in the Indian Ocean using tag-recapture data and otolith-based age estimates
AN  - 1660421562; PQ0001110665
AB  - A growth model from which the expected age of a fish can be estimated based on its length is a key component to most stock assessments. For the three tropical tuna species in the Indian Ocean - yellowfin (YFT; Thunnus albacares), bigeye (BET; T. obesus) and skipjack (SKJ; Katsuwonus pelamis) - information about growth has been very limited until recently, when data from a large-scale Indian Ocean tuna tagging program became available. In this paper, parametric growth models were fit to tag-recapture data for all three species using a maximum likelihood method that models the joint density of release and recapture lengths as a function of age by treating age at tagging as a random variable. The method allows for individual variability in growth by modelling the asymptotic length parameter as a random effect. Direct age and length data from otolith readings were also included in the analysis for YFT and BET. The results support two-stanza growth models for all three species; however, the growth patterns for YFT and BET differ from SKJ. YFT and BET exhibit a transition in growth between age 2 and 3, with faster growth in the second stanza than the first, whereas SKJ exhibit a transition in growth around age 1, with much faster growth in the first stanza than the second. Most likely, YFT and BET also experience a phase of rapid growth directly following hatching, but lack of data for fish less than 50cm for these species precludes its estimation. Differences in growth between sexes were found for YFT and BET, with males growing to a larger size; information on sex was not available for SKJ.

AB  - Federally designated 'periods of war' are important for qualification for certain veterans' pension or disability benefits. Many nonofficial sources are different from those given in treaties and other official sources, and armistice dates can be confused with termination dates. This report lists the beginning and ending dates for 'periods of war' found in Title 38 of the Code of Federal Regulations, dealing with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and lists and differentiates other beginning dates given in declarations of war, as well as termination of hostilities dates and armistice and ending dates in proclamations, laws, or treaties.

AN  - 1735653976; 2011-899485
AB  - Both the House and Senate are currently considering legislation that would make substantive changes to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). FOIA provides the public with a presumptive right to access agency records, limited by nine exemptions that allow agencies to withhold certain types or categories of records. The legislation under consideration in the 114th Congress, S. 337 and H.R. 653, is largely based on bills from the 113th Congress, S. 2520 and H.R. 1211. This report provides a side-by-side analysis of the two bills. Tables.

AN  - 1735654026; 2011-899507
AB  - The Army's Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) is intended to be a 'vehicle integration' or non-developmental program (candidate vehicles will be either existing vehicles or modified existing vehicles -- not vehicles that are specially designed and not currently in service). Some suggest that a non-developmental vehicle might make it easier for the Army to eventually field this system to the force, as most of the Army's most recent developmental programs were canceled before they could be fully developed and fielded.

AB  - In 2014, the armed offensive of the Islamic State (IS, ISIL, ISIS, or Daesh) in northern and western Iraq and northeastern Syria raised concerns for the US. After first ordering multiple deployments of US troops to Iraq to provide security to diplomatic personnel and facilities, advise Iraqi security forces, and conduct intelligence gathering and reconnaissance, President Obama began ordering US military airstrikes on IS forces in Iraq and later ordered US military airstrikes in Syria. The intensified US military engagement has raised numerous questions in Congress and beyond about the President's authority to use military force against the Islamic State. Tables, Appendixes.

AB  - In FY2014, there was a sharp increase in the number of unaccompanied alien children (UAC) traveling to the US. This report focuses on the foreign policy dimensions of the crisis. It examines US policy in Central America, including a brief historical background, the current policy framework, and the initial response to the surge in unaccompanied minors. It discusses a variety of issues Congress might consider as it formulates policy toward the region; the capacity of Central American nations to address the root causes of the exodus; the role of Mexico as a transit country; and the response of the international community.

AB  - Perspectives on Enhanced Interrogation Techniques (EITs) are multifaceted, ranging from those who say 'never again' to their future use to those who argue they are a necessary tool in an interrogator's toolbox. Views reflect answers to three main issues: (1) Whether the EITs constituted torture; (2) Whether the CIA's use of EITs ran counter to American values and morals; and (3) The effectiveness of the EITs. This report discusses views as expressed by public officials, academics, and commentators voiced in a variety of sources, including the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI).

T1  - The Power of Friendship: Embracing Allies to Revitalize American Leadership
AN  - 1767319678; 2011-911519
AB  - In this ninth Margaret Thatcher Freedom Lecture, Senator Ted Cruz outlines his vision for restoring American leadership and rebuilding partnerships with key US allies at a time of increasing global threats to the US and the free world. As observed by Lady Thatcher, America today 'enjoys a superiority over any other power or combination of powers greater than any nation in modern times,' and this has certain implications: (1) remain strong and rebuild, reshape, and modernize defenses; (2) pick allies wisely, support them, and insist that they keep their commitments; and (3) be seen as speaking with unqualified authority.

AB  - Located close to both Iran and Iraq, Kuwait has given pivotal cooperation to US strategy and military operations in the Persian Gulf region. Still, as demonstrated by the Amir of Kuwait's May 2014 visit to Iran, Kuwait maintains relatively normal economic and political relations with Iran so as not to provoke the Islamic Republic. Kuwait has contributed significant funds to US operations in the region and is supporting US-led efforts to defeat the Islamic State organization in Iraq and Syria by placing its airbases and other military facilities at the disposal of the US-led anti-Islamic State coalition.

T1  - Detect, remove and reuse: a new paradigm in sensing and removal of Hg (II) from wastewater via SERS-active ZnO/Ag nanoarrays.
AN  - 1652461141; 25407243
AB  - Mercury being one of the most toxic heavy metals has long been a focus of concern due to its gravest threats to human health and environment. Although multiple methods have been developed to detect and/or remove dissolved mercury, many require complicated procedures and sophisticated equipment. Here, we describe a simple surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) active ZnO/Ag nanoarrays that can detect Hg(2+), remove Hg(2+) and can be fully regenerated, not just from Hg(2+) contamination when heat-treated but also from the SERS marker when exposed to UV as a result of the self-cleaning ability of this schottky junction photocatalyst. The sensors are also highly selective because of the unique way mercury (among other chemicals) interacts with Ag nanoparticles, thus reducing its SERS activity.

T1  - Policy on Public Reporting of TEQSA's Decisions
AN  - 1826518938; ED564157
AB  - Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) has published reports on all its regulatory decisions made since July 1, 2013, irrespective of the provider category in which a provider is registered or the particular circumstances of a provider, with the exception of decisions relating to an application for initial registration from an aspiring provider. Any reports on renewal of registration decisions prior to July 1, 2013 have been published with the agreement of the relevant provider. These reports provide prospective students, current students, and the wider public access to information about providers and the sector, and provide transparency of TEQSA's processes, regulatory decisions, and reasons for these decisions. Reports are included on the National Register of Higher Education Providers ("the Register") to promulgate information to the public about registered providers. The Register is the authoritative source of information on the status of registered higher education providers in Australia. This report outlines TEQSA's approach to publicly reporting its regulatory decisions, and discusses TEQSA's policy principles, report formats, and timeframes for publication. It should be read in conjunction with TEQSA's Public Disclosure Policy, available at: http://teqsa.gov.au/sites/default/files/TEQSAPublicDisclosurePolicy.pdf.

T1  - A Risk and Standards Based Approach to Quality Assurance in Australia's Diverse Higher Education Sector
AN  - 1826518628; ED564142
AB  - The Australian Government Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency's (TEQSA's) role is to assure that quality standards are being met by all registered higher education providers. This paper explains how TEQSA's risk-based approach to assuring higher education standards is applied in broad terms to a diverse sector. This explanation is consistent with the revised processes developed by TEQSA in close consultation with the sector over 2013-14. The paper has been developed based on a dialogue between TEQSA and registered higher education providers through their peak bodies. It depicts how TEQSA's risk-based approach to assurance of quality standards is applied in practice to the sector, and aims to facilitate a shared understanding of how TEQSA takes into account relevant organisational characteristics. TEQSA applies a consistent and fair approach that treats like providers in the same manner, regardless of provider category under the TEQSA Act (the Act). The following appendix is included: Examples of Applying the Framework Outlined Above to Hypothetical Cases.

T1  - Investigating the influence of aquifer heterogeneity on the potential for thermal free convection in the Yarragadee Aquifer, Western Australia
TT  - Investigation de l'influence de l'heterogeneite d'un aquifere sur le potentiel de convection libre thermique dans l'aquifere du Yarragadee en Australie occidentale
AN  - 1768575119; PQ0002663402
AB  - The potential for thermal convection in aquifers is strongly influenced by permeability. Permeability is highly heterogeneous within aquifers, and spatial distributions of permeability are rarely well constrained by measurements, making it difficult to determine the potential for thermal convection in a given aquifer. In this study, this difficulty is overcome through the use of a stratigraphic forward model (SFM). The SFM simulates the processes of deposition, burial and compaction of the aquifer, yielding a geologically plausible permeability field that is conditioned through measured permeability-porosity relationships. The aim of this study is to determine the influence of aquifer heterogeneity on the potential for thermal convection in the Yarragadee Aquifer, Western Australia. Permeability distributions from the SFM of the Yarragadee Aquifer are analysed through calculation of the thermal Rayleigh number (a stability criterion) from vertically averaged permeability, and numerical hydrothermal simulations with permeability distributions taken from the SFM. Results from the numerical simulations demonstrate that thermal convection can occur with the inclusion of geologically informed heterogeneity. These findings are supported by Rayleigh number calculations that indicate that convection is most likely to occur on the eastern side of the aquifer where it is thick and has high average permeability.Original Abstract: Le potentiel de convection thermique en aquiferes est fortement influence par la permeabilite. La permeabilite est fortement heterogene dans les aquiferes, et des distributions spatiales de la permeabilite sont rarement bien contraintes par les mesures, rendant difficile de determiner le potentiel de convection thermique dans un aquifere donne. Dans cette etude, cette difficulte est surmontee par l'utilisation d'un modele stratigraphique direct (Startigraphic Forward Model - SFM). Le SFM simule les processus de depot, recouvrement et compaction de la formation aquifere, aboutissant a un champ de permeabilite geologiquement plausible qui est contraint par des rapports de permeabilite-porosite mesures. Le but de cette etude est de determiner l'influence de l'heterogeneite de la couche aquifere sur le potentiel de convection thermique dans l'aquifere du Yarragadee en Australie occidentale. Les distributions de permeabilite du SFM de l'aquifere du Yarragadee sont analysees a travers le calcul du nombre thermique de Rayleigh (un critere de stabilite) a partir de la permeabilite moyenne calculee sur la verticale, et de simulations hydrothermales numeriques avec des distributions de permeabilite prises du SFM. Les resultats des simulations numeriques demontrent que la convection thermique peut se produire avec l'inclusion d'une heterogeneite d'origine geologique. Ces resultats sont soutenus par les calculs du nombre de Rayleigh qui indiquent que la convection est plus susceptible de se produire du cote oriental de la couche aquifere ou elle est epaisse et ou la permeabilite moyenne est elevee.

T1  - Establishing the evolutionary compatibility of potential sources of colonizers for overfished stocks: a population genomics approach
AN  - 1746887445; PQ0002334424
AB  - Identifying fish stock structure is fundamental to pinpoint stocks that might contribute colonizers to overfished stocks. However, a stock's potential to contribute to rebuilding hinges on demographic connectivity, a challenging parameter to measure. With genomics as a new tool, fisheries managers can detect signatures of natural selection and thus identify fishing areas likely to contribute evolutionarily compatible colonizers to an overfished area (i.e. colonizers that are not at a fitness disadvantage in the overfished area and able to reproduce at optimal rates). Identifying evolutionarily compatible stocks would help narrow the focus on establishing demographic connectivity where it matters. Here, we genotype 4723 SNPs in 616 orange roughy (Hoplostethus atlanticus) across five fishing areas off the Tasmanian coast in Australia. We ask whether these areas form a single genetic unit, and test for signatures of local adaptation. Results from amova, structure, discriminant analysis of principal components, bayesass and isolation by distance suggest that sampled locations are subjected to geneflow amounts that are above what is needed to establish 'drift connectivity'. However, it remains unclear whether there is a single panmictic population or several highly connected populations. Most importantly, we did not find any evidence of local adaptation, suggesting that the examined orange roughy stocks are evolutionarily compatible. The data have helped test an assumption of the orange roughy management programme and to formulate hypotheses regarding stock demographic connectivity. Overall, our results demonstrate the potential of genomics to inform fisheries management, even when evidence for stock structure is sparse.

T1  - Bypassing birth centres for childbirth: an analysis of data from a community-based prospective cohort study in Nepal
AN  - 1735648026; 2011-859935
AB  - Background In Nepal, women residing in rural areas tend to bypass local birth centres and deliver at urban hospitals, despite the availability of obstetric care in these centres. This study investigated the incidence of bypassing, characteristics of bypassers and their reasons for bypassing the birth centres. Methods A prospective cohort study was undertaken in the Kaski district of central Nepal. The 353 pregnant women of 5 months or more gestation recruited from the community had access to local birth centres. They were interviewed at baseline using a structured questionnaire, and were followed up within 45 days post-partum. Comparisons were made between women who delivered at birth centres and those who gave birth at hospital. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the factors affecting the risk of bypassing. Results Of the final sample of 258 participants who delivered in a health facility, 181 women (70.2%) bypassed their nearest birth centres to deliver at hospitals. Bypassers tended to be wealthy and have intrapartum complications, but the likelihood of bypassing apparently decreased by higher parity and frequent (four or more) antenatal care visits. Availability of operating facility, adequacy of medical supplies and equipment and competent health staff at the facility were the main reasons for their bypassing decision. Conclusions The risk of bypassing for childbirth was high in central Nepal. Provision of quality and reliable emergency obstetric services together with well trained and competent staff at birth centres are recommended to reduce bypassing and pressure on the public hospital system. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Mesoscopic simulation of magnetic field effect on natural convection of power-law fluids in a partially heated cavity
AN  - 1718929104; PQ0001494222
AB  - In this paper, effect of a magnetic field on natural convection of non-Newtonian power-law fluids in a partially heated cavity, has been analyzed by using the Finite-Difference Lattice Boltzmann Method (FDLBM). This study has been conducted for certain pertinent parameters of Rayleigh number (Ra = 10 super(4) and 10 super(5)), Hartmann number (Ha=0-60), power-law index (n = 0.5-1.5), and length of heated section (H/L = 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75), as the magnetic field is applied horizontally. Results indicate that the augmentation of the power-law index in the absence of the magnetic field causes heat transfer to drop. Generally, the magnetic field decreases heat transfer in different power-law indexes. The increment of the magnetic field power declines the effect of the power-law index on heat transfer. The magnetic field for various Hartmann numbers at Ra = 10 super(4); has different effects on heat transfer with the enhancement of power-law index. At Ra = 10 super(5) and for Ha = 0 to 30, heat transfer falls with rise of the power-law index as the effect is weakened by increase in Hartmann number significantly. The influence of power-law index on heat transfer augments with increase in the size of the heated section.

T1  - Eyewitness Identification when "The Perpetrator Reminds Me of Someone I Know"
AN  - 1695970916
AB  - We investigated the effect on eyewitness identification performance of witnesses making an association between the perpetrator of a crime and someone well known to them. Participants were either cued or not cued to associate the perpetrator of a mock-crime with somebody famous before attempting to identify the culprit from a target-present photoarray a week later. It was hypothesized that those who made an association would: (1) think about the associated face during their rehearsal of the target memory throughout the week, and (2) exhibit worse identification test performance (i.e., by making fewer correct identifications and rejecting the line-up more often) relative to those who made no association. Although we demonstrated that concurrent rehearsal of the target and associated face had occurred, similar patterns of identification choices emerged regardless of whether an association was made or not. The implications of this finding in the absence of an effect on identification test performance are discussed in relation to memory strength, identification response criterion setting and future directions in identification research.

T1  - Cyberbullying: The Shades of Harm
AN  - 1695970914
AB  - Empirical studies undertaken to date report that exposure to cyberbullying can have potentially serious consequences. This paper assesses the potential harm associated with the various specific manifestations (forms) of cyberbullying based on initial empirical research and a crime seriousness framework originally applied to traditional crimes. The analysis provides valuable theoretical insight into the associated harms of each of the forms of cyberbullying. This is significant in light of the infancy of the research in this area. The research demonstrates that the various manifestations are indeed associated with different levels of harm. It concludes that, based on a principle of harm, not all forms warrant criminalization.

T1  - Lessons from conducting trans-national Internet-mediated participatory research with hidden populations of cannabis cultivators
AN  - 1673613238
AB  - Background Internet-mediated research methods are increasingly used to access hidden populations. The International Cannabis Cultivation Questionnaire (ICCQ) is an online survey designed to facilitate international comparisons into the relatively under-researched but increasingly significant phenomenon of domestic cannabis cultivation. The Global Cannabis Cultivation Research Consortium has used the ICCQ to survey over 6000 cannabis cultivators across 11 countries. In this paper, we describe and reflect upon our methodological approach, focusing on the digital and traditional recruitment methods used to access this hidden population and the challenges of working across multiple countries, cultures and languages. Methods Descriptive statistics showing eligibility and completion rates and recruitment source by country of residence. Results Over three quarters of eligible respondents who were presented with the survey were included in the final sample of n =6528. English-speaking countries expended more effort to recruit participants than non-English-speaking countries. The most effective recruitment modes were cannabis websites/groups (33%), Facebook (14%) and news articles (11%). While respondents recruited through news articles were older, growing practice variables were strikingly similar between these main recruitment modes. Conclusion Through this process, we learnt that there are trade-offs between hosting multiple surveys in each country vs. using one integrated database. We also found that although perceived anonymity is routinely assumed to be a benefit of using digital research methodologies, there are significant limits to research participant anonymity in the current era of mass digital surveillance, especially when the target group is particularly concerned about evading law enforcement. Finally, we list a number of specific recommendations for future researchers utilising Internet-mediated approaches to researching hidden populations.

T1  - Growing medicine: Small-scale cannabis cultivation for medical purposes in six different countries
AN  - 1673612523
AB  - Background The production and consumption of cannabis for the treatment of medical conditions is of increasing importance internationally; however, research on different aspects of the phenomenon is still scarce. In this article, we report findings from a cross-cultural study of small-scale cannabis cultivation for medical purposes. This kind of comparative study has not been done previously. Methods The data were gathered with a help of web surveys conducted by the Global Cannabis Cultivation Research Consortium (GCCRC) in Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany and the UK (N =5313). In the analysis we compare reports of medical motives, for what conditions cannabis is used, whether users have diagnoses for these conditions and whether the use of cannabis been recommended as a treatment of those conditions by a medical doctor. Descriptive statistics are used to show the main commonalities and noteworthy disparities across different countries. Results Findings from countries were quite similar, even though several national differences in details were found. Growing cannabis for medical purposes was widespread. The majority of medical growers reported cultivating cannabis for serious conditions. Most of them did have a formal diagnosis. One fifth had got a recommendation from their doctor, but in most cases cannabis use was self-medication which was not discussed with their doctors. Conclusion There is a wider demand for licit access for medical cannabis than currently available in these countries. Ideologically, medical growers can be seen distancing themselves from both the legal and illicit drug markets. From a harm reduction perspective, it is worrying that, in the context of present health and control policies in these countries, many medical growers are using cannabis to treat serious medical conditions without proper medical advice and doctorʼs guidance.

T1  - Selection of significant input variables for time series forecasting
AN  - 1673380166; PQ0001367526
AB  - Appropriate selection of inputs for time series forecasting models is important because it not only has the potential to improve performance of forecasting models, but also helps reducing cost in data collection. This paper presents an investigation of selection performance of three input selection techniques, which include two model-free techniques, partial linear correlation (PLC) and partial mutual information (PMI) and a model-based technique based on genetic programming (GP). Four hypothetical datasets and two real datasets were used to demonstrate the performance of the three techniques. The results suggested that the model-free PLC technique due to its computational simplicity and the model-based GP technique due to its ability to detect non-linear relationships (demonstrated by its relatively good performance on a hypothetical complex non-linear dataset) are recommended for the input selection task. Candidate inputs which are selected by both these recommended techniques should be considered as significant inputs.

T1  - Reference levels for corticosterone and immune function in farmed saltwater crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) hatchlings using current Code of Practice guidelines.
AN  - 1667345321; 25644211
AB  - To determine reference levels for on-farm stressors on immune responsiveness and growth rate, 253 hatchling crocodiles from 11 known breeding pairs were repeatedly measured and blood sampled during their first year. Plasma corticosterone (CORT) was used to quantify baseline stress levels in captive animals and were found to be lower (mean 1.83±SE 0.16 ng/mL) than previously reported in saltwater crocodile hatchlings. Two tests of immune function were also conducted. Innate constitutive immunity was assessed using bacterial killing assays (BKA) against two bacterial species: Escherichia coli and Providencia rettgeri, whereby the latter causes considerable economic loss to industry from septicaemic mortalities. Although the bactericidal capabilities were different at approximately 4 months old (32±3% for E. coli and 16±4% for P. rettgeri), the differences had disappeared by approximately 9 months old (58±2% and 68±6%, respectively). To assess immune responsiveness to a novel antigen, the inflammatory swelling response caused by phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) injection was assessed but was only significantly different between Samplings 1 and 3 (5% LSD). There were no significant clutch effects for CORT or PHA but there were for both BKA traits. CORT was not significantly associated with growth (head length) or the immune parameters except for P. rettgeri BKA where higher CORT levels were associated with better bactericidal capability. As such, these results suggest that the crocodiles in this study are not stressed, therefore endorsing the management strategies adopted within the Australian industry Code of Practice.

T1  - Predictors of Relapse in Problem Gambling: A Prospective Cohort Study
AN  - 1665154621
AB  - To explore the variation of predictors of relapse in treatment and support seeking gamblers. A prospective cohort study with 158 treatment and support seeking problem gamblers in South Australia. Key measures were selected using a consensus process with international experts in problem gambling and related addictions. The outcome measures were Victorian Gambling Screen (VGS) and behaviours related to gambling. Potential predictors were gambling related cognitions and urge, emotional disturbance, social support, sensation seeking traits, and levels of work and social functioning. Mean age of participants was 44 years (SD = 12.92 years) and 85 (54 %) were male. Median time for participants enrolment in the study was 8.38 months (IQR = 2.57 months). Patterns of completed measures for points in time included 116 (73.4 %) with at least a 3 month follow-up. Using generalised mixed-effects regression models we found gambling related urge was significantly associated with relapse in problem gambling as measured by VGS (OR 1.29; 95 % CI 1.12–1.49) and gambling behaviours (OR 1.16; 95 % CI 1.06–1.27). Gambling related cognitions were also significantly associated with VGS (OR 1.06; 95 % CI 1.01–1.12). There is consistent association between urge to gamble and relapse in problem gambling but estimates for other potential predictors may have been attenuated because of methodological limitations. This study also highlighted the challenges presented from a cohort study of treatment and support seeking problem gamblers.

T1  - Eye-tracking analysis of user behavior and performance in web search on large and small screens
AN  - 1665153569
AB  - In recent years, searching the web on mobile devices has become enormously popular. Because mobile devices have relatively small screens and show fewer search results, search behavior with mobile devices may be different from that with desktops or laptops. Therefore, examining these differences may suggest better, more efficient designs for mobile search engines. In this experiment, we use eye tracking to explore user behavior and performance. We analyze web searches with 2 task types on 2 differently sized screens: one for a desktop and the other for a mobile device. In addition, we examine the relationships between search performance and several search behaviors to allow further investigation of the differences engendered by the screens. We found that users have more difficulty extracting information from search results pages on the smaller screens, although they exhibit less eye movement as a result of an infrequent use of the scroll function. However, in terms of search performance, our findings suggest that there is no significant difference between the 2 screens in time spent on search results pages and the accuracy of finding answers. This suggests several possible ideas for the presentation design of search results pages on small devices.

AB  - Toxidromes aid emergency care providers in the context of the patient presenting with suspected poisoning, unexplained altered mental status, unknown hazardous materials or chemical weapons exposure, or the unknown overdose. The ability to capture an adequate chemical exposure history and to recognize toxidromes may reduce dependence on laboratory tests, speed time to delivery of specific antidote therapy, and improve selection of supportive care practices tailored to the etiologic agent. This article highlights elements of the exposure history and presents selected toxidromes that may be caused by toxic industrial chemicals and chemical weapons. Specific antidotes for toxidromes and points regarding their use, and special supportive measures, are presented.

T1  - Monetary policy at the zero lower bound and after: a reassessment of quantitative easing and critique of the federal reserve's proposed exit strategy
AN  - 1650532916; 4641207
AB  - This paper analyses quantitative easing, focusing on its implicit fiscal dimension. It distinguishes between 'weak' and 'strong' zero lower bound traps. A strong trap corresponds to the liquidity trap. In a weak trap QE is expansionary but subject to diminishing returns. QE implicitly transfers income streams to the fiscal authority, generating fiscal drag that can eventually render QE contractionary. Proposals to exit QE by paying interest on reserves to check inflationary pressures is contradicted because paying interest constitutes an implicit tax cut. Instead, the paper suggests implementing asset based reserve requirements that deactivate liquidity by requiring banks hold increased reserves. Reprinted by permission of Blackwell Publishers

T1  - Effects of irrigated parks on outdoor residential water use in a semi-arid city
AN  - 1647006645; 21291564
AB  - We investigate whether public park amenities act as a substitute for outdoor water use by single-family residential (SFR) households in semi-arid Tucson, AZ, USA. Specifically we account for the effects of a park's proximity, size, and greenness (measured by NDVI), as well as the presence of a public swimming pool. SFR households with and without home pools are analyzed separately. We control for SFR property attributes, including house size, age, yard size and property NDVI. Results suggest that SFR outdoor water use is influenced by the conditions of all parks within an 8km (5mile) street distance. We also find significant differences between the "with" and "without" home pool groups. Households with pools used more outdoor water per square meter of house, per year of house age and per unit of NDVI. Households without pools appeared to reduce outdoor use in response to nearby small parks and increased park NDVI. "With pool" households had the opposite response: they appeared to increase outdoor water use in response to these variables. However, "with pool" households did reduce their outdoor water use in response to nearby public pools. Medium and large parks were associated with increased outdoor water use for both groups. We conclude that public green space and pools can substitute for private versions of these amenities, and if well designed, can contribute to water demand management and urban sustainability. This may be an avenue for addressing water supply shortages in semi-arid cities and other areas where populations are growing but water supplies are finite.

T1  - How do amenity migrants learn to be environmental stewards of rural landscapes?
AN  - 1647002160; 21291562
AB  - The changing socio-ecological dynamics in rural landscapes associated with amenity migration in post-industrial nations such as Australia has implications for environmental management. The number of non-farming landholders now occupying regions once valued primarily for agriculture has increased rapidly in the past decade, with property turnover rates in some rural Australian regions as high as 50 per cent. Given amenity migrants can shape rural ecologies through land management practice, it is vital that we understand how these management practices are informed. As such, we ask: how do amenity migrants learn to be environmental stewards of their land? We focus specifically on how the tangible interaction between landholder and landscape through experiential learning contributes to the emergence of environmental stewardship. We adopt a conceptual premise that recognises the agency of the biophysical landscape in the experiential learning process. To explore how amenity migrants learn about stewardship we undertook a qualitative case study in the hinterland regions of Melbourne, Australia. We found that initial struggles to implement land management informed by prior urban lifestyles saw landholders turn to experiential learning to fill a void of understanding about ecological processes and management practice. Over time, these experiences distilled into durable dispositions for environmental stewardship that directed either a passive (hands-off) or active (hands-on) approach to land management. Understanding how amenity migrants learn to be environmental stewards has implications for the location and timing of environmental policy engagements with new rural landholders.

T1  - Nanosphere monolayer on a transducer for enhanced detection of gaseous heavy metal.
AN  - 1652436056; 25562372
AB  - This study reports for the first time that polystyrene monodispersed nanosphere monolayer (PS-MNM) based Au (Au-MNM) and Ag (Ag-MNM) nanostructures deposited on quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) transducers can be used for nonoptical based chemical sensing with extremely high sensitivity and selectivity. This was demonstrated by exposing the Au-MNM and Ag-MNM based QCMs to low concentrations of Hg(0) vapor in the presence interferent gas species (i.e., H2O, NH3, volatile organics, etc.) at operating temperatures of 30 and 75 °C. At 30 °C, the Au-MNM and Ag-MNM based QCMs showed ∼16 and ∼20 times higher response magnitude toward Hg(0) vapor concentration of 3.26 mg/m(3) (364 parts per billion by volume (ppbv)) relative to their unmodified control counterparts, respectively. The results indicated that the extremely high sensitivity was not due to the increased surface area (only 4.62 times increase) but due to their long-range interspatial order and high number of surface defect formation which are selectively active toward Hg(0) vapor sorption. The Au-MNM and Ag-MNM also had more than an order of magnitude lower detection limits (30 ppbv). When the operating temperature was increased from 30 to 75 °C, it was found that the sensors exhibited lower drift, better accuracy, and better selectivity toward Hg(0) vapor but at the compromise of higher detection limits. The high repeatability (84%), accuracy (97%), and stability of Au-MNM in particular make it practical to potentially be used as nonspectroscopic based Hg(0) vapor sensor in many industries either as mercury emission monitoring or as part of a mercury control feedback system.

AB  - A National Security Letter (NSL) is roughly comparable to an administrative subpoena. An NSL needs no prior judicial approval. Intelligence agencies issue them for intelligence gathering purposes to telephone companies, Internet service providers, consumer credit reporting agencies, banks, and other financial institutions, directing the recipients to turn over certain customer records and similar information. The 111th and 112th Congresses as well as the 113th Congress saw a number of proposals to amend NSL authority. Tables.

T1  - Terrorism Risk Insurance Legislation in the 114th Congress: Issue Summary and Side-by-Side Analysis
AN  - 1767320040; 2011-910370
AB  - Prior to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, insurance covering terrorism losses was normally included in commercial insurance policies without additional cost to the policyholders. Following the attacks, insurers and reinsurers pulled back from offering terrorism coverage. Congress responded to the disruption in the insurance market by passing the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (TRIA). This report briefly outlines the issues involved with terrorism insurance, summarizes extension legislation, and includes a side-by-side comparison of TRIA law and the bills introduced in the 114th and 113th Congresses.

T1  - Military Pay: Key Questions and Answers
AN  - 1735655918; 2011-899521
AB  - The military compensation system is complex and includes an array of cash compensation elements, non-cash compensation (benefits), deferred compensation (retirement pay and benefits), and tax advantages. This report focuses primarily on the cash compensation provided to members of the active component armed forces. Some analysts believe that the military compensation is now too high and is impeding efforts to modernize equipment and sustain readiness, particularly under the Budget Control Act of 2011 (BCA). Others argue that robust compensation is essential to maintaining a high-quality force that is vigorous, well-trained, experienced, and able to function effectively in austere and volatile environments.

Provisions exist in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) to offer temporary protected status (TPS) or relief from removal under specified circumstances. A foreign national who is granted TPS receives a registration document and an employment authorization for the duration of TPS. The US currently provides TPS to over 300,000 foreign nationals from 11 countries: El Salvador, Guinea, Haiti, Honduras, Liberia, Nicaragua, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, and Syria.

T1  - Are we on the same page? Exploring construction professionals' mental models of occupational health and safety
AN  - 1694968545; PQ0001543347
AB  - Photographic Q-methodology was used to explore construction professionals' mental models of occupational health and safety (OHS). Sixty Australian construction professionals participated in the research, including 15 architects, 15 engineers, 15 constructors and 15 OHS professionals. Participants were asked to sort photographs depicting different building systems into a grid based upon their judgement of the likelihood of accidental injury resulting from the construction of each of the building systems depicted. Responses ranged from Rare (-2) to Almost certain (+2). Sorting patterns relating to eight photographs of different facade systems were analysed using Q factor analysis. Three distinct sorting pattern types were identified in the data, representing clusters of participants whose sorting patterns were similar. These sorting pattern types cut across occupational/professional groups. Interpretation of the factors revealed substantial differences between the OHS judgements made by participants in the three clusters. Qualitative explanatory information revealed participants in the three clusters used different attributes when considering the likelihood of accidental injury. These attributes shaped their sorting patterns. The results suggest shared mental models (SMMs) are unlikely to exist in construction project teams, as each individual uses their own frame of reference to understand OHS. Opportunities exist to understand these different frames of reference and create more consistent team mental models of OHS. However, incorporating a diversity of viewpoints into project decision-making is recommended in order to produce effective decision-making in the choice or specification of building systems.

T1  - Improving the health of male, blue collar construction workers: a social ecological perspective
AN  - 1691291284; PQ0001543346
AB  - Construction workers are a high risk group for poor health and occupational disability. A participatory action research (PAR) project was undertaken at construction sites in Queensland, Australia. Using the PAR framework, a needs-based health promotion planning model was implemented. Health promotion measures were designed to address the 'SNAPO' health risk factors (i.e. smoking, nutrition, alcohol consumption, insufficient physical exercise and overweight/obesity). At the largest site participating in the research, preliminary health assessments revealed levels of physical health that were comparable with those of the general Australian population. The construction workers' mental health was poorer than that of the general Australian population. A consultation workshop with a representative group of workers at the site identified healthy eating, smoking cessation and physical exercise as priority areas for intervention. Several health promotion measures addressing these issues were implemented, including a quit smoking programme, a 'healthy options' menu in the site canteen, healthy eating and cooking workshops and onsite yoga and stretching sessions. A subset of workers at the site reported their health behaviour in weekly 'logs'. The log data revealed fluctuations in health behaviour over a 14-week period. Evaluation interviews and a focus group revealed environmental impediments to the adoption of healthy lifestyle behaviours. Workers identified the need to provide a work environment that is supportive of healthy behaviour as critical to the effectiveness of specific health promotion measures.

T1  - Local community perspectives towards dark tourism development: The case of Snowtown, South Australia
AN  - 1680155050; 201514721
AB  - This paper critically examines the perspectives of a local community towards dark tourism development. Based on the infamous case of the Snowtown murders in South Australia, this preliminary study observes the local community's perception towards dark tourism development and adopted a qualitative methodology using observation and interview. The findings revealed that attitudes towards the development of dark tourism varied considerably depending on residents' length of immersion in the area. Whilst long-term residents were predominantly against the development of tourism involving Snowtown's recent dark past, others, particularly those that had moved to the area after the perpetrators of the Snowtown murders were caught (post-1999), were welcoming of the idea. The study posits that official tourism bodies in South Australia need to respond to the demand for dark tourism in Snowtown and provide the area with appropriate tourism infrastructure. However, due to the highly contrasting resident opinions towards dark tourism, it is also imperative that they consult the local community in future decision-making processes.

T1  - Sustainability through food and conversation: the role of an entrepreneurial restaurateur in fostering engagement with sustainable development issues
AN  - 1680150975; 201514737
AB  - Food justice, food cultures and people's engagement with healthy food production and consumption are key contemporary concerns, with a growing sustainable hospitality and tourism literature. Efforts range from narrowly focused initiatives, such as promoting organic produce and fair trade, to more holistic challenges to current systems through initiatives like the slow food and locavore movements, which may represent systemic alternatives. However, little analysis is available on how cafes and restaurants might become sites for experimentation in profitable and just sustainable hospitality, and places for sustainability engagement and education. Focusing on the evolution of a sustainable cafe in Adelaide, South Australia, this article explores how one entrepreneurial restaurateur uses his cafe to engage customers and community in a collaborative conversation about sustainable development, food, hospitality and tourism, helping transform our food culture and even lifeways. Our findings indicate the value of deep local embedding as a pathway to meaningful sustainability. The study offers insights into how hospitality and tourism can contribute to dialogues on alternative consumption which may offer visionary pathways to alternative futures. It also explores the role of pioneers in sustainable business and hospitality, their drivers and their views. A forthcoming global research initiative is discussed. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Making space for social inclusion in conceptualising climate change vulnerability
AN  - 1680144726; 2011-788818
AB  - Impacts from climate change pose a raft of challenges for societies, governments and policy-makers internationally. The anticipated changes are well documented, including rising sea levels, increased floods and other extreme weather conditions. Much research and policy emphasis has focused on technical and economic aspects. Less debated are questions about different communities' vulnerabilities, inequitable distributional impacts, social justice issues and how vulnerability links to social inclusion/exclusion. This paper explores a case study mapping social exclusion and vulnerability in Brisbane, Queensland, which found that while communities can be vulnerable through physical aspects of an area when social dimensions are added to the equation it amplifies or exacerbates the scale of vulnerability. The findings also suggest that in developing research agendas and policy debates around climate change, there could be benefits from interlinking the currently separate areas of work on social vulnerability to extreme weather events, to forms and processes of social inclusion/exclusion.

T1  - Trans-national earthquake early warning (EEW) in north-eastern Italy, Slovenia and Austria: first experience with PRESTo at the CE (super 3) RN network
AN  - 1861102340; 727195-4
AB  - The region of central and eastern Europe is an area characterised by a relatively high seismic risk. Since 2001, to monitor the seismicity of this area, the OGS (Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e di Geofisica Sperimentale) in Italy, the Agencija Republike Slovenije za Okolje (ARSO) in Slovenia, the Zentralanstalt fuer Meteorologie und Geodynamik (ZAMG) in Austria, and the Universita di Trieste (UniTS) have cooperated in real-time seismological data exchange. In 2014 OGS, ARSO, ZAMG and UniTS created a cooperative network named the Central and Eastern European Earthquake Research Network (CE (super 3) RN), and teamed up with the University of Naples Federico II, Italy, to implement an earthquake early warning system based on the existing networks. Since May 2014, the earthquake early warning system (EEWS) given by the integration of the PRESTo (PRobability and Evolutionary early warning SysTem) alert management platform and the CE (super 3) RN accelerometric stations has been under real-time testing in order to assess the system's performance. This work presents a preliminary analysis of the EEWS performance carried out by playing back real strong motion recordings for the 1976 Friuli earthquake (M (sub W) = 6.5). Then, the results of the first 6 months of real-time testing of the EEWS are presented and discussed.

T1  - Assessment of permafrost distribution maps in the Hindu Kush Himalayan region using rock glaciers mapped in Google Earth
AN  - 1832663577; 765162-6
AB  - The extent and distribution of permafrost in the mountainous parts of the Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) region are largely unknown. A long tradition of permafrost research, predominantly on rather gentle relief, exists only on the Tibetan Plateau. Two permafrost maps are available digitally that cover the HKH and provide estimates of permafrost extent, i.e., the areal proportion of permafrost: the manually delineated Circum-Arctic Map of Permafrost and Ground Ice Conditions (Brown et al., 1998) and the Global Permafrost Zonation Index, based on a computer model (Gruber, 2012). This article provides a first-order assessment of these permafrost maps in the HKH region based on the mapping of rock glaciers. Rock glaciers were used as a proxy, because they are visual indicators of permafrost, can occur near the lowermost regional occurrence of permafrost in mountains, and can be delineated based on high-resolution remote sensing imagery freely available on Google Earth. For the mapping, 4000 square samples ( approximately 30 km (super 2) ) were randomly distributed over the HKH region. Every sample was investigated and rock glaciers were mapped by two independent researchers following precise mapping instructions. Samples with insufficient image quality were recorded but not mapped. We use the mapping of rock glaciers in Google Earth as first-order evidence for permafrost in mountain areas with severely limited ground truth. The minimum elevation of rock glaciers varies between 3500 and 5500 m a.s.l. within the region. The Circum-Arctic Map of Permafrost and Ground Ice Conditions does not reproduce mapped conditions in the HKH region adequately, whereas the Global Permafrost Zonation Index does so with more success. Based on this study, the Permafrost Zonation Index is inferred to be a reasonable first-order prediction of permafrost in the HKH. In the central part of the region a considerable deviation exists that needs further investigations.

AN  - 1827899565; PQ0001834636
AB  - We present an interesting case of a young man with coronary artery vasospasm complicating scombroid fish poisoning illness. The initial presentation included tachycardia and significant hypotension. A 12-lead ECG showed sinus tachycardia with marked widespread ST segment depression and ST elevation in aVR. Symptoms subsequently improved with intravenous fluid rehydration, antihistamines, and glyceral trinitrate. The underlying pathogenesis and treatment of this rarely described manifestation of the fish poisoning illness is discussed.

T1  - Putting Thinking into Middle and Upper Secondary Mathematics
AN  - 1826531033; EJ1093223
AB  - The application of skills and knowledge to a "real world" context entails a greater set of competencies than just technical proficiency, for both the student who sits the problem and the teacher who sets it. These competencies require unpacking. A greater understanding of these competencies would enable teachers to create tasks that test what they are supposed to, with improved insight into difficulty level. Moreover, it would enable students to receive not only a better training for those tasks, but also a more meaningful education. The reflections presented in this article are an attempt to begin this unpacking process and are based on the teaching experiences of the author.

T1  - Reflecting on Classroom Practice: Spatial Reasoning and Simple Coding
AN  - 1826531015; EJ1093225
AB  - Spatial reasoning--the ability to visualise and play with shapes in one's mind--is essential in many fields, and crucial in any Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics [STEM] discipline. It is, for example, the ability that the engineer needs to build bridges; the chemist to see the three-dimensional structure of a molecule; the architect to design buildings; and the doctor to navigate the patient's abdominal cavity with a laparoscope. Spatial thinking is an important factor for achievement in areas of STEM. While there is evidence of a gender gap in this area, there is also evidence that these reasoning skills can be improved with practice. The author of this article teaches in an all-girls school, and wished to address both the spatial reasoning and coding gap by creating a brief unit on that subject matter. The unit described in this article was designed to simultaneously introduce the author's students to a beginner level of computer programming, and assist them in developing and practice their spatial skills.

T1  - Expectation and Variation with a Virtual Die
AN  - 1826530441; EJ1093222
AB  - By the time students reach the middle years they have experienced many chance activities based on dice. Common among these are rolling one die to explore the relationship of frequency and theoretical probability, and rolling two dice and summing the outcomes to consider their probabilities. Although dice may be considered overused by some, the advantage they offer is a familiar context within which to explore much more complex concepts. If the basic chance mechanism of the device is understood, it is possible to enter quickly into an arena of more complex concepts. This is what happened with a two hour activity engaged in by four classes of Grade 6 students in the same school. The activity targeted the concepts of variation and expectation. The teachers held extended discussions with their classes on variation and expectation at the beginning of the activity, with students contributing examples of the two concepts from their own experience. These notions are quite sophisticated for Grade 6, but the underlying concepts describe phenomena that students encounter every day. For example, time varies continuously; sporting results vary from game to game; the maximum temperature varies from day to day. However, there is an expectation about tomorrow's maximum temperature based on the expert advice from the weather bureau. There may also be an expectation about a sporting result based on the participants' previous results. It is this juxtaposition that makes life interesting. Variation then describes the differences we see in phenomena around us. In a scenario displaying variation, expectation describes the effort to characterise or summarise the variation and perhaps make a prediction about the message arising from the scenario. The explicit purpose of the activity described here was to use the familiar scenario of rolling a die to expose these two concepts. Because the students had previously experienced rolling physical dice they knew instinctively about the variation that occurs across many rolls and about the theoretical expectation that each side should "come up" one-sixth of the time. They had observed the instances of the concepts in action, but had not consolidated the underlying terminology to describe it. As the two concepts are so fundamental to understanding statistics, we felt it would be useful to begin building in the familiar environment of rolling a die. Because hand-held dice limit the explorations students can undertake, the classes used the soft-ware TinkerPlots (Konold & Miller, 2011) to simulate rolling a die multiple times.

T1  - Reasoning with Geometric Shapes
AN  - 1826530306; EJ1093213
AB  - Geometry belongs to branches of mathematics that develop students' visualisation, intuition, critical thinking, problem solving, deductive reasoning, logical argument and proof (Jones, 2002). It provides the basis for the development of spatial sense and plays an important role in acquiring advanced knowledge in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The "Australian Curriculum: Mathematics" (Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA), n.d) emphasises the need to help children develop an increasingly sophisticated understanding of geometric ideas, to be able to define, compare and construct figures and objects, and to develop geometric arguments. This article will look at some of the issues involved in the teaching and learning of two-dimensional shapes and illustrate how activities such as paper-folding tasks can be used to encourage visualisation and geometric reasoning.

T1  - Australian Curriculum Linked Lessons: The Language of Chance
AN  - 1826530280; EJ1093249
AB  - In providing a continued focus on tasks and activities that help to illustrate key ideas embedded in the "Australian Curriculum," this issue focuses on the Statistics and probability strand and the sub-strand of Chance. In the Australian Curriculum (ACARA, 2015), students are not asked to list outcomes of chance experiments and represent those probabilities until Year 5 (ACMSP116). Before this time, the focus was on identifying events that involve chance, and in developing everyday language to describe and order the events. Derek Hurrell notes, tt seems eminently sensible to involve students in activities which requires them to employ the language of chance, therefore Hurrell uses this article to introduce four activities that assist students in learning this concept.

T1  - Supporting Lower-Achieving Seven- and Eight-Year-Old Children with Place Value Understandings
AN  - 1826530154; EJ1093239
AB  - Children can sometimes appear to understand a concept such as place value without really having a deep understanding. Judy Bailey stresses the importance of listening carefully to children to identify their current understandings and then building on them systematically, using a range of materials, to promote a deep conceptual understanding. This article reports on the collaboration of the author (a university mathematics educator) and a relatively new classroom teacher. The teacher sought to address the needs of a group of lower-achieving seven- and eight-year-old children within the regular class mathematics programme of a large urban primary school. This small study was part of a two-year project focused on raising school-wide achievement in mathematics in the school.

AB  - An algorithm is presented for factorising a quadratic expression to facilitate instruction and learning. It appeals to elementary geometry which may provide better insights to some students or teachers. There have been many methods for factorising a quadratic expression described in school text books. However, students often seem to struggle with grasping this skill. Anwar H. Joarder presents some geometric explanation with the hope that it will help visualise the steps of the solution.

AB  - The Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) conceptual framework for teaching mathematics, developed by Mishra and Koehler (2006), emphasises the importance of developing integrated and interdependent understanding of three primary forms of knowledge: technology, pedagogy, and content. The TPACK conceptual framework is based upon the premise that effective technology integration for pedagogy around specific subject matter requires understanding of the dynamic relationship between all three knowledge components. The purpose of this article is to discuss the TPACK required for teaching Statistics, and to assist Australian teachers to make sense of the TPACK required for the effective integration of technology in statistics instruction.

T1  - Thinking Visually about Algebra
AN  - 1826528187; EJ1093079
AB  - Many introductions to algebra in high school begin with teaching students to generalise linear numerical patterns. This article argues that this approach needs to be changed so that students encounter variables in the context of modelling visual patterns so that the variables have a meaning. The article presents sample classroom activities, together with sample work from students in the author's Year 7 classroom at a Catholic school in the South East of Melbourne. It concludes that there are many ways for teachers to help students make generalisations from visual patterns. Textbooks encourage students to generate tables of values and then to deduce rules from those tables. This approach is not hard for students to grasp and can be deferred. If students are to develop multiple strategies for thinking about such problems, teachers need to help them relate formulas to visual patterns. This, in turn, will give the variables some meaning as the algebra becomes an alternative representation of a tangible situation.

AN  - 1826528154; EJ1093372
AB  - There are many geometrical approaches to the solution of the quadratic equation with real coefficients. In this article it is shown that the monic quadratic equation with complex coefficients can also be solved graphically, by the intersection of two hyperbolas; one hyperbola being derived from the real part of the quadratic equation and one from the imaginary part. Both hyperbolas are of relatively simple form. Special solutions correspond to one or both of the hyperbolas being degenerate. This article is of potential interest to secondary school students with some exposure to complex numbers and first year university students.

T1  - Incorporating Technology and Cooperative Learning to Teach Function Transformations
AN  - 1826528124; EJ1093121
AB  - When teaching transformations of functions, teachers typically have students vary the coefficients of equations and examine the resulting changes in the graph. This approach, however, may lead students to memorise rules related to transformations. Students need opportunities to think deeply about transformations beyond superficial observations about changes in the graphs. In this article, the authors describe an activity in which upper secondary school students used graphing calculators in cooperative learning groups to analyse and create motifs found in traditional Turkish rugs. The activity centres on transformations of functions. It encourages students to make connections between original and transformed graphs and to think deeply about the effect on the graph of changing a parameter.

T1  - A Case Study of the Attitudes and Preparedness of a Group of Secondary Mathematics Teachers towards Statistics
AN  - 1826528078; EJ1093387
AB  - The new secondary Australian mathematics curricula have more statistics than the existing Queensland senior mathematics curricula. This paper discusses the attitudes to, and preparedness for, aspects of the implementation of the Australian Senior Mathematics Curricula within a group of Sunshine Coast (Queensland) mathematics educators. We found on the evidence presented that teachers value the importance of statistics, and see how technology can assist with teaching and learning statistics, but teachers are ambivalent towards statistics and feel less competent to teach statistics.

T1  - Learning Mathematics through Games
AN  - 1826528066; EJ1093145
AB  - When considering the use of games for teaching mathematics, educators should distinguish between an "activity" and a "game". Gough (1999) states that "A 'game' needs to have two or more players, who take turns, each competing to achieve a 'winning' situation of some kind, each able to exercise some choice about how to move at any time through the playing". The key idea in this statement is that of "choice". This article describes a classic game called "Iota" that combines some of the features of two-dimensional dominoes and crosswords. "Iota" is designed by Gene Mackles, and published by Gamewright (2012). In Europe, it is also known as Kwatro, and is published by White Goblin.

T1  - Pythagoras Triples Explained via Central Squares
AN  - 1826527789; EJ1093370
AB  - Very much like today, the Old Babylonians (20th to 16th centuries BC) had the need to understand and use what is now called the Pythagoras' theorem x[superscript 2] + y[superscript 2] = z[superscript 2]. They applied it in very practical problems such as to determine how the height of a cane leaning against a wall changes with its inclination. In this paper, Luis Teia Gomes presents an alternative method that uses squares rather than circles to geometrically describe the Pythagorean triples, and how they are interconnected. The triangles formed by the triples in Pythagoras' or Plato's families can be geometrically interconnected via intermediate central squares--this forms the basis of the central square theory. This pattern of parent--child triple relationship allowed the geometric construction of both sequences, which seem to behave in a similar manner. From the perspective of central square theory, the Pythagoras' or Plato's families are expressed not only as a sequence of triples, but also by their connecting sequence of squares.

AB  - The history of the number zero is an interesting one. In early times, zero was not used as a number at all, but instead was used as a place holder to indicate the position of hundreds and tens. This article briefly discusses the history of zero and challenges the thinking where divisions using zero are used.

T1  - Harnessing Critical Incidents for Learning
AN  - 1826527564; EJ1093100
AB  - A critical incident is a situation or event that holds significance for learning, both for the students and teachers. This paper presents four examples of critical incidents from a Year 7 teacher's lesson excerpts in Indonesia involving teaching of fractions, to show how they shaped classroom situation, brought forward elements of conflict, and created learning opportunities. Three examples are drawn from the lesson using a web-based applet (Examples 1, 2 and 3). The illustration of these critical incidents will be followed by a discussion on how to harness them in order to develop students' understanding or be used as a challenge as well as a learning process for teachers. This paper highlights the effectiveness of a web-based applet for displaying pictorial representations in an interactive manner.

These models, however, are limited in their ability to assist students to visualise a fraction of an object when the whole changes.

The activity provides the opportunity for students to explore the part-whole relationship when the whole changes and respond to and reason about the question: When does 1/2 =1/3 ?

T1  - Making Connections
AN  - 1826527532; EJ1093396
AB  - This article aims to illustrate a process of making connections, not between mathematics and other activities, but within mathematics itself--between diverse parts of the subject. Novel connections are still possible in previously explored mathematics when the material happens to be unfamiliar, as may be the case for a learner at any career stage. The geometrical configuration explored in this paper, now known as "Ford circles" after Lester R. Ford, Sr. (1886-1967), is related to ideas about mutually tangent circles that were studied by, among others, Apollonius of Perga in the third century BC and by René Descartes in the 17th century. This exposition is intended to conjure the thoughts of a hypothetical mathematician attempting to find and explain some connections, in the process exploring some lines that turn out to be unproductive, and making observations that are really non sequiturs, before eventually achieving some success. The author suggests that seemingly innocent mathematical fragments can have connections to many related ideas. If a teacher is in possession of a broad subject knowledge, then the likelihood seems high that it is possible to draw out useful connections in the classroom or in well-designed projects and assignments. For this reason, the author claims that an ever-widening subject knowledge is of utmost importance in a teacher's program of professional development.

T1  - Adding Some Perspective to de Moivre's Theorem: Visualising the "n"-th Roots of Unity
AN  - 1826527478; EJ1093405
AB  - Traditionally, "z" is assumed to be a complex number and the roots are usually determined by using de Moivre's theorem adapted for fractional indices. The roots are represented in the Argand plane by points that lie equally pitched around a circle of unit radius. The "n"-th roots of unity always include the real number 1, and also include the real number -1 if "n" is even. The non-real "n"-th roots of unity always form complex conjugate pairs. This topic is taught to students studying a mathematics specialism (ACARA, n.d., Unit 3, Topic 1: Complex Numbers) as an application of de Moivre's theorem with the understanding that the roots occur in the complex domain. Meanwhile, in the Cartesian plane, a closely related topic deals with the solution of polynomials (ACARA, n.d., Unit 2, Topic 3: Real and Complex Numbers). The aim of this paper is to demonstrate visually the connection between the reduced polynomial "y" = "x"[superscript "n"] - 1 in the Cartesian plane and the resulting n-roots which invariably appear in the Argand plane. There is no contradiction here: the reader will find a three-dimensional surface representation of Equation (2) provides the full link between both the Cartesian and Argand planes, and illustrates not only the location of the roots in relation to the original equation but also shows why they occur with conjugate pairings. Examples will be provided for the cases "n" = 3, "n" = 5 and "n" = 8 which will be sufficient to illustrate the general pattern that emerges. The approach adopted here is a natural extension of the surface visualisation techniques first presented by Bardell (2012) for quadratic equations.

T1  - Stimulating Mathematical Thinking through Domino Games
AN  - 1826527338; EJ1093129
AB  - Most readers would be familiar with the standard domino set which is played with rectangular domino tiles. The domino set, sometimes called a deck or pack, consists of 28 dominoes, colloquially nicknamed bones, cards, tiles, stones, or spinners. A domino set is a generic gaming device, similar to playing cards or dice, in that a variety of games can be played with a set. Dominoes are very simple and basic gaming implements that are so versatile you can play virtually an unlimited number of games with them. Involving varying degrees of strategy, the only limitation to the games that you play with dominoes is your imagination. There are a huge variety of domino games played all over the world, ranging from the very simple to the extremely complex, from the easy to the incredibly difficult. This article describes two alternative types of domino sets: "Bug Trails," which is described as a non-standard domino game; and "Bendominoes" which is described as a game with a twist.

T1  - The Riemann Zeta Zeros from an Asymptotic Perspective
AN  - 1826527321; EJ1093398
AB  - In 1859, on the occasion of being elected as a corresponding member of the Berlin Academy, Bernard Riemann (1826-66), a student of Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855), presenteda lecture in which he presented a mathematics formula, derived from complex integration, which gave a precise count of the primes on the understanding that one of the terms in the formula, which depended on a knowledge of the non-trivial zeros of the zeta function, could be evaluated. Riemann had calculated some of the non-trivial zeros and found them all to have a real part equal to 0.5. He conjectured that every zero of the zeta function had a real part equal to 0.5. This became known as the "Riemann conjecture" which evolved into the "Riemann hypothesis" as more supporting evidence became available. Riemann's solution is given using complex number integration and is assessable to university students studying higher mathematics courses. A more assessable solution for school students who are studying advanced mathematics is given in John Derbyshire's book "Prime Obsession." The aim of this paper is to show that the zeros of the Riemann zeta function all have the real part equal to one half. This is demonstrated in two ways or methods. Each method shows that there can be only one value for the real part a, and since we know that there are zeros with a = 1/2, then the proof is complete.

T1  - The Tower of Hanoi and Inductive Logic
AN  - 1826527313; EJ1093371
AB  - In the "Australian Curriculum," the concept of mathematical induction is first met in the senior secondary subject Specialist Mathematics. This article details an example, the Tower of Hanoi problem, which provides an enactive introduction to the inductive process before moving to more abstract and cognitively demanding representations. Along the way, it is suggested that the Tower of Hanoi problem would also be suitable as an example for introducing mathematical inductive thinking to students in junior secondary school.

T1  - Computer Algebra Systems: Permitted but Are They Used?
AN  - 1826527287; EJ1093379
AB  - Since the 1990s, computer algebra systems (CAS) have been available in Australia as hand-held devices designed for students with the expectation that they will be used in the mathematics classroom. The data discussed in this paper was collected as part of a pilot study that investigated first year university mathematics and statistics students' understanding of functions and variables, as well as the use of technology in their last year of school (Year 12). Did their teachers discourage the use of CAS for algebra? Did the students actually learn how to use CAS to support their work in algebra or to support their learning of algebra? Did they find that, given the level of algebra, it was faster to work with pen-and-paper than to correctly enter algebraic expressions? The results reported in this paper are based on items included in a pilot survey. They raise questions rather than provide answers. The results do however tell us that, at least from these first year university students' recollection of their Year 12 experience, most or their VCE mathematics teachers made little use of CAS as a pedagogical tool in their classes, despite the institutional approval and encouragement indicated by both the State's curriculum and assessment for the past decade. A better understanding of the barriers to teachers using CAS technology to enhance their pedagogy is needed and then perhaps more effective professional learning programs can be provided for teachers.

T1  - The Importance of Mathematical Models to Scientific Discovery: A Case Study on the Feeding Mechanism of the Goliath Grouper "Epinephelus itajara"
AN  - 1826527156; EJ1093120
AB  - The use of collaborative problem solving within mathematics education is imperative in this day and age of integrative science. The formation of interdisciplinary teams of mathematicians and scientists to investigate crucial problems is on the rise, as greater insight can be gained from an interdisciplinary perspective. Mathematical modelling, in particular, is increasingly recognised as a fundamental tool in understanding scientific phenomena, with models utilising mathematical disciplines ranging from statistics to differential equations. Geometry is an effective tool in biomechanical modelling, and one that has been used to develop a series of lessons regarding the functional importance of mathematics in nature. In this article, the authors present a lesson in which geometry is used to model the suction feeding mechanism of the Goliath Grouper, and the consequences of geometric variability for organismal performance are explored.

T1  - Reversible Reasoning and the Working Backwards Problem Solving Strategy
AN  - 1826527148; EJ1093107
AB  - Making sense of mathematical concepts and solving mathematical problems may demand different forms of reasoning. These could be either domain-based, such as algebraic, geometric or statistical reasoning, while others are more general such as inductive/deductive reasoning. This article aims at giving visibility to a particular form of reasoning which Piaget referred to as reversibility of thought or equivalently reversible reasoning. Reversible reasoning essentially involves reasoning from a given result to the source producing the result. Using examples from the school mathematics curriculum, this article illustrates how this mode of reasoning may be involved in the solution of mathematical problems. Further, it provides a strategy to foster reversible reasoning by formulating tasks in a primal and dual mode. Simultaneously, the article explains why such a mode of reasoning is essential in developing flexibility in thinking.

T1  - Misuse of the Equals Sign: An Entrenched Practice from Early Primary Years to Tertiary Mathematics
AN  - 1826525007; EJ1093397
AB  - In this article, the authors begin by considering symbolic literacy in mathematics. Next, they examine the origins of misuse of the equals sign by primary and junior secondary students, where "=" has taken on an operational meaning. They explain that in algebra, students need both the operational and relational meanings of the equals sign. When substituting numbers for pronumerals in an algebraic expression, students are able to rely on their operational understanding to evaluate the expression. Similarly, it is possible for students to solve algebraic equations such as 2x + 3 = 11 without recourse to the relational meaning, for example, by a guess and check approach. However, if they fail to understand that the expressions on each side of an equation are equal, then they have difficulty, for example, understanding why x can be subtracted from both sides when solving the equation 2x + 3 = x + 11. Researchers have found that students who understand that the equals sign is a relational symbol of equality are more successful in solving algebraic equations. The remainder of the article examines a sample of the written solutions of first semester undergraduate students demonstrating inappropriate use of the equals sign in a major Australian university's Calculus 1 course. The article concludes that the notion of expecting symbols to have meaning and a habit of checking the meaning of the symbols used is an aspect of working mathematically that needs to be cultivated at all levels: primary, secondary and tertiary. In particular, ensuring that students understand the relational role of the equals sign is an important step in developing symbol sense.

T1  - Using Technology Effectively to Teach about Fractions
AN  - 1826523685; EJ1093245
AB  - In this article, the authors describe classroom use of technology that successfully engaged fourth grade students (typically aged 9-10) in the United States in learning about fractions. The activities involved the use of an interactive simulation designed to support student learning of fractions, and whole-class discussion where students were prompted to reflect on their learning with the simulation. The authors found this discourse-rich environment coupled with simulation use to be motivating to students and supportive of their growing understanding of fraction ideas. Herein they describe the PhET Interactive Simulations Project at the University of Colorado Boulder and its suite of free interactive simulations, or "sims", for teaching mathematics and science and how these simulations can be effectively implemented in the classroom.

T1  - For the Technologically Challenged: Four Free Online Tools to Liven up a Mathematics Classroom
AN  - 1826523663; EJ1093256
AB  - Use of technology in the mathematics classroom has the potential to advance children's learning of mathematics and enhance their attitudes about mathematics. When used in conjunction with purposeful planning, teachers can use technological tools to reinforce their pedagogical intentions and to facilitate relevant learning activities for students. Maria Northcote provides an insightful discussion on the purposeful use of technological tools and gives examples of four specific tools with ideas for integrating their use with the use of concrete manipulatives. This article focuses specifically on the use of a handful of free online tools that can be used to liven up and support mathematics learning in lessons and activities that take place inside (that is, mathematics activities that take place within the walls of a classroom) or outside (that is, mathematics activities that take place beyond the walls of a classroom such as in a playground).

T1  - Some Ways to Get a Piece of Pi Day Action
AN  - 1826523390; EJ1093233
AB  - In many parts of the world, Pi Day is celebrated on March 14 (3.14), but because of the day-month ordering of dates in Australia, and because March is very close to the start of the academic year, Australians prefer to celebrate Pi (Approximation) Day on 22 July (22/7). Thirty-eight Year 8 students (aged 13-14 years) from two local high schools in Canberra, Australia, joined ESTeM Maths and Education staff on July 22, 2014, to celebrate Pi Day. This article describes the activities in which the students participated during the Pi Day celebration. The organizers of the activities selected six activities that met a combined criteria of feasibility, pedagogical soundness, and pedagogical appropriateness for the Australian school system. Time constraints were a significant factor in selecting activities. The students participated in the following activities: (1) measuring the circumference of the Earth using the length of a shadow at midday at two locations on the same longitude; (2) recording the diameter and circumference of household objects with a circular cross-section through the use of a variety of instruments and procedures; (3) working on a "History of p" activity sheet; (4) making Pi bracelets that indicate the digits of p, in order; (5) observing a demonstration of how the value of p can be approximated by the area of polygons with ever-increasing numbers of sides; and (6) following carefully devised p-trails across the campus. The article includes an evaluation of the data collected from both the students and the pre-service teacher education students on the activities undertaken, as well as reflections on the Pi Day activities.

T1  - They Still Can't Count: Assessing and Supporting Children's Counting Difficulties in the Early Years of Schooling
AN  - 1826523261; EJ1093257
AB  - In this article, the authors describe their efforts to teach counting skills to their class of 5- to 7-year-olds at the Glenleighden School, located in a a suburb of Brisbane. As Glenleighden early childhood teachers, they work in collaboration with a multi-disciplinary team that supports children with speech and language difficulties. Mathematically, their students typically have difficulty reciting counting patterns, understanding symbols such as numerals, and are challenged when invited to verbalise their thinking. As a result of their research investigations on children's counting, they developed a diagnostic observational assessment form to use in their classroom, the Glenleighden Counting Analysis. Just as English teachers regularly complete a "running record" to record and analyse a child's reading behaviours, the Glenleighden Counting Analysis can be used to record and carefully analyse children's counting activities. Following the analysis they were able to create activities that targeted each child's specific weakness rather than wasting scarce instruction time on aspects of counting in which they already demonstrated competence.

T1  - Grow Beasts: Growing Mathematical Understanding
AN  - 1826523111; EJ1093224
AB  - What do you do when you want to get your Stage 3 students authentically and enthusiastically engaged in the active construction of their understanding and fluency with measurement, data collection, representation and interpretation? How do you enable them to make choices about their learning, to measure with purpose, to record and organise the data they produce, to plot the points and to understand that the emerging line tells a story about something real, something changing. Here's one way to approach all of these objectives in an integrative and motivational context. Mark Roddy and Kat Behrend suggest "Calling in the Grow Beast!" The "Grow Beast" is a small, inexpensive, readily available toy that, when placed in water, absorbs it and thus "grows" over the course of several days, and then gradually shrinks to more or less its original size when removed from the water. The object for student learning was the development of skill and understanding in three related content areas: First, through iterative experience, their understanding of the overarching idea that mathematics may be used to analyse, represent, and predict change; second, students will develop their fluency with measurement; and third, students will learn about the use of graphs as a means of representation, analysis, and communication in mathematics. Roddy and Behrend concluded that the evidence provided in their work showed that students were successfully engaged in the development of understanding and skill; Students learned something about the use of mathematics to analyse, represent and predict change; and finally the students developed their skill with measurement, with the use of data and graphs, and communication.

T1  - Creating Mathematics Websites in Middle School
AN  - 1826523106; EJ1093220
AB  - During middle school years, students generally finalise their attitude toward mathematics and their perception of themselves as students of mathematics in terms of aptitude, motivation, interest, and competence. Therefore, giving them varied opportunities to foster a positive and successful approach to the study of mathematics is critical, and can help them appreciate the relevance, usefulness, and creativity of the subject. In this article, Alessandra King describes a learning opportunity that asked students to create a website that focuses on mathematics. The project allowed middle school students the use of readily available, free internet tools that did not require any prior programming experience. This project inspired some interesting conversations on side topics such as how to use and cite sources, what constitutes common knowledge, and how to avoid accidental (and not so accidental) plagiarism. The activity was successful in that it emphasized creativity, initiative, inquiry, exploration, independent work, extensive reading and research to captivate students' interest.

AB  - While within a geometric repeating pattern, there is an identifiable core which is made up of objects that repeat in a predictable manner, a geometric growing pattern (also called visual or pictorial growing patterns in other curricula) "is a pattern that is made from a sequence of figures [or objects] that change from one term to the next in a predictable way" (Billings, Tiedt & Slater, 2007, p. 303). In this article, the authors explore several examples of ways to use geometrical growing patterns to develop students' algebraic thinking. Examples are situated within interesting contexts to elicit algebraic generalisations by working through a five-phase analysis process.

AB  - Helping students generalise mathematical ideas is an essential component of teaching and learning of mathematics (Lannin, Ellis, Elliott & Zbiek, 2011). However, it can be challenging for primary teachers to assess and promote generalisation. Because generalisation is an essential part of mathematics instruction, the authors highlight the types of difficulties faced by young children when generalising and share the strategies they have used to assess and promote generalisation in young learners.

T1  - Seasonal and regional signature of the projected southern Australian rainfall reduction
AN  - 1811900566; PQ0003070675
AB  - A projected drying of the extra-tropics under enhanced levels of atmospheric greenhouse gases has large implications for natural systems and water security across southern Australia. The drying is driven by well studied changes to the atmospheric circulation and is consistent across climate models, providing a strong basis from which adaptation planners can make decisions. Here we describe the spatial signature of the projected change from the new CMIP5 climate models and downscaling of those models, and review various lines of evidence about the seasonal expression. Winter rainfall is projected to decline across much of southern Australia with the exception of Tasmania, which is projected to experience little change or a rainfall increase in association with projected increases in the strength of the westerlies. Projected winter decrease is greatest in southwest Western Australia. The models have some biases in the simulation of certain synoptic types (e.g. cutoff lows), the rainfall brought by those synoptic types, and the mechanism of rainfall pro-duction.

T1  - Evaluation of CMIP3 and CMIP5 Models over the Australian Region to Inform Confidence in Projections
AN  - 1811898677; PQ0003070674
AB  - Model evaluation is an important tool to help rate confidence in climate model simulations. This can add to the overall confidence assessment for future projections of the Australian climate. Additionally it can highlight significant model deficiencies that may affect the selection of a subset of models for use in impact assessment. Here we present results from an extensive model evaluation undertaken as part of the Natural Resource Management (NRM) Project in order to inform the newest set of climate change projections for Australia. The assessment covers mean climate skill over Australia as well as variability measures and teleconnections from up to 47 CMIP5 models and 23 CMIP3 models (for comparison where appropriate). Additionally, the skill in representing important climate features such as MJO, SAM, blocking and cut-off lows are also reviewed. Selected extremes are evaluated as well as simulations of two different types of downscaling simulations used within the NRM project. Finally, an attempt is made to synthesise this information in order to highlight a small group of CMIP5 models which show consistent deficiencies in representing the Australian climate and its features.

T1  - Frequency-dependent anisotropy of porous rocks with aligned fractures
AN  - 1808373374; 21214676
AB  - Naturally fractured reservoirs are becoming increasingly important for oil and gas exploration in many areas of the world. Because fractures may control the permeability of a reservoir, it is important to be able to find and characterize fractured zones. In fractured reservoirs, the wave-induced fluid flow between pores and fractures can cause significant dispersion and attenuation of seismic waves. For waves propagating normal to the fractures, this effect has been quantified in earlier studies. Here we extend normal incidence results to oblique incidence using known expressions for the stiffness tensors in the low- and high-frequency limits. This allows us to quantify frequency-dependent anisotropy due to the wave-induced flow between pores and fractures and gives a simple recipe for computing phase velocities and attenuation factors of quasi-P and SV waves as functions of frequency and angle. These frequency and angle dependencies are concisely expressed through dimensionless velocity anisotropy and attenuation anisotropy parameters. It is found that, although at low frequencies, the medium is close to elliptical (which is to be expected as a dry medium containing a distribution of penny-shaped cracks is known to be close to elliptical); at high frequencies, the coupling between P-wave and SV-wave results in anisotropy due to the non-vanishing excess tangential compliance.

T1  - Influential Synoptic Weather Types for a Future Renewable Energy Dependent National Electricity Market
AN  - 1805501438; PQ0003110733
AB  - This study presents an analysis of the synoptic scale influences on potential r e- newable energy output for eastern Australia (the National Electricity Mar ket (NEM) region). Common synoptic scale weather patterns are identified using a Self - Organising Map (SOM) of 1989 - 2009 ERA - Interim Mean Sea - Level Pre s- sure (MSLP) for the Australian region. Using wind speed and surface shortwave radiation output from the A ustralian Community Climate and Earth - System Simulator (ACCESS) regional model (ACCESS - R) for 2010 - 2011, in tandem with a Genetic Algorithm, a cost - optimal placement of renewable resources for the NEM is derived. Moments of very low output from the combina tion of wind and solar are then analysed to show that a ridging high pressure system south of Perth and a summer continental heat low significantly co - occur with very low output. Another MSLP type represented by a cold front approaching South Au s- tralia was shown to never associate with very low output. An investigation into the 2010 - 2011 period when compared to the previous 21 years showed that the La Ni n a conditions during 2010 - 2011 period were more challenging than no r- mal for wind and solar for some areas . What the study also shows is that despite the large geographical area the NEM region cannot rely solely on non - dispatchable renewable electricity, without installing unrealistic amounts of over - capacity .

T1  - Evaluation of simulated recent climate change in Australia
AN  - 1798737283; PQ0003070673
AB  - The ability to reproduce recent observed climate change in climate models is a pertinent prerequisite for trust in climate projections. Also, information on the consistency of simulated and observed recent changes helps users to interpret near-term climate change projections. A comprehensive assessment of simulated regional trends, however, is often not available. Therefore, we evaluate daily maximum and minimum temperature trends and rainfall trends from 1956-2005 in Australia in simulations from the CMIP5 archive. For all variables and all models, we find significant (at the 10% level) differences between simulated and observed trends in some areas. Except for daily minimum temperature in spring and summer, however, the areas where we find significant differences are smaller than what we expect by chance. In a multivariate evaluation, simulated joint temperature and rainfall trends of all but one model, however, are found to be significantly (at the 10% level) different from the observed trends. Hence, multivariate evaluation provides a stricter test. We conclude that CMIP5 models share trend biases and regional projections therefore have to account for the presence of biases shared across models.

T1  - Comparison of various climate change projections of eastern Australian rainfall
AN  - 1798736307; PQ0003070676
AB  - The Australian eastern seaboard is a distinct climate entity from the interior of the continent, with different climatic influences on each side of the Great Dividing Range. As part of this aim it is important to quantify any differences in the change signal between global climate models and downscaling, and understand the cause of these differ-ences in terms of plausible added regional detail in the climate change signal, the impact of sub-sampling global climate models and the effect of the downscaling models themselves. Here we examine rainfall projections in eastern Australia under a high emissions scenario by late in the century from ensembles of global climate models, two dynamical downscaling models and one statistical downscaling model. We find no cases where all three downscaling methods show the same clear regional spatial detail in the change signal that is distinct from the host models.

T1  - Omega-3 Fatty Acid Profile of Eggs from Laying Hens Fed Diets Supplemented with Chia, Fish Oil, and Flaxseed
AN  - 1787965389; PQ0002928408
AB  - The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of diets supplemented with fish oil, flaxseed, and chia seed on the omega-3 fatty acid composition and sensory properties of hens' eggs. No significant difference in yolk fat content was found between treatments. The fatty acid composition of egg yolk was significantly affected by the dietary treatments. Inclusion of chia at 300 g/kg into the diet produced eggs with the highest concentration of omega-3 fatty acid. Eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid were only detected in eggs from laying hens fed the diet supplemented with fish oil. Diet had a significant effect on color, flavor and overall acceptability of eggs. Types and levels of omega-3 fatty acids in feed influence the level of yolk omega-3 fatty acids in egg yolk. Inclusion of chia into the hens' diet significantly increased the concentration of yolk omega-3 fatty acid without significant change in sensory properties.

T1  - Resonant Cycles Under Various Intersection Spacing, Speeds, and Traffic Signal Operational Treatments
AN  - 1778039684; PQ0002449614
AB  - In recent years, resonant cycles have emerged as a new principle in signal coordination. Resonant cycles were originally associated with cycle lengths that resulted in good progression over a range of traffic volumes. Several studies documented the potential benefits of this new principle. In this research, cycles" are defined as cycle lengths that are robust over a range of traffic volumes on two-way arterials. However, resonant cycles may not always exist on traffic corridors, depending on their operational and geometric factors, and the impact of these factors is not well understood. To examine these conditions more closely, this paper provides a comprehensive analysis of resonant cycles. Geometric and operational traffic data obtained from two corridors were used. Resonant cycles were observed on both corridors; the benefits resulted in reductions of approximately 8% in the total delay and 19% in the number of stops when compared with the critical intersection method. The geometric and operational variables that permitted resonant cycles were identified through a macroscopic model. The results indicated that resonant cycles could easily be found on these two corridors under low-volume scenarios. When moderate-volume conditions occurred, certain combinations of geometric and operational traffic variables supported resonant cycles. In contrast, cross-street volumes that were similar in magnitude to the volumes of the main street tended to remove the cycle resonance for moderate traffic volumes. When a microscopic model was used to estimate optimal cycle lengths, the range of traffic volumes under a resonant cycle was reduced.

T1  - Spectrum of bacteria associated with diabetic foot ulcer and biofilm formation: A prospective study
AN  - 1773833226; PQ0002616927
AB  - Background India has the world's largest number of diabetics. Non-traumatic lower limb amputation is the most common devastating complication of diabetes, primarily due to diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) and diabetic foot infections (DFI). In India, the incidence of foot ulcers ranges from 8-17 per cent. DFIs are predominantly polymicrobial and multidrug-resistant (MDR) with the ability to form biofilm, which is an important virulence factor and results in treatment failure. Aims The main objectives of the study are to identify the spectrum of multidrug-resistant bacteria associated with these infections, their antibiotic sensitivity pattern, and to detect the biofilm formation. Methods This was a prospective study at a tertiary care hospital. One hundred patients over the age of 18, having chronic diabetic foot ulcer, and attending the surgery outpatient department were included. Samples of pus were collected from deep wounds and processed using standard techniques for culture and sensitivity. Biofilm detection was done. Results were compiled and statistically analysed. Results One hundred samples were processed and 82 yielded positive cultures. Staphylococcus aureus was the predominant organism, followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Biofilm formation was seen in 38 (46.34 per cent) of the organisms. Biofilms were formed predominantly by Staphylococcus aureus (20 per cent). Conclusion The organisms causing chronic diabetic foot ulcers were commonly multidrug-resistant; this was also observed among biofilm formers. Therefore, screening for biofilm formation, along with the usual antibiogram, needs to be performed as a routine procedure in chronic diabetic ulcers to formulate effective treatment strategies for these patients.

T1  - A fatal case of primary dengue infection with myocarditis and cerebral oedema
AN  - 1773832504; PQ0002616929
AB  - With dengue fever emerging as a global health problem and more Australians travelling to endemic areas, imported dengue infection is on the rise and clinicians need to remain vigilant. Primary cardiac and neurologic involvement in dengue infection has been rarely described in the medical literature and the pathophysiology is poorly understood. A rare and fatal case of primary dengue infection in a 34-year-old woman who returned from Papua New Guinea is reported; the unusual features of this case include severe primary dengue infection, myocarditis, and acute cerebral oedema resulting in death. This case demonstrates that severe atypical manifestations and fatality can occur with primary dengue infection.

T1  - Creating a Global Law Graduate: The Need, Benefits and Practical Approaches to Internationalise the Curriculum
AN  - 1773231608; EJ1074691
AB  - The increasingly integrated world has facilitated important international and trans-border trends, such as a progressively connected global economy, a significant growth in transnational business transactions and an increase in global regulation of global issues. Such globalisation has had a transformational impact on the legal profession in a number of ways. These include the need to provide advice on issues or transactions that have a transnational or international element; the increasing globalisation of large law firms; and the delivery of offshore services by legal service providers. This means that not only do law graduates need to be prepared to practice in an increasingly globalised economy and legal profession, there will also be new career opportunities available to them which require understanding of international law, for example in emerging international institutions and non-government organisations. Accordingly there is a need to ensure that law students develop the knowledge and skills they will require to succeed in a globalised legal profession. That is, there is a need to internationalise the law curriculum. This paper provides an insight into the recent progression of law schools in internationalising the law curriculum and provides practical avenues and strategies for the increased integration of international law, foreign law and a comparative perspective into core subjects which will develop the graduates' knowledge and skills in international and foreign law, in order to enhance their ability to succeed as legal professionals in a globalised world.

T1  - The Postgraduate Capstone Experience: Negotiating the Pedagogical Tensions
AN  - 1773231580; EJ1074689
AB  - In designing a capstone experience, legal educators may encounter a number of tensions between competing pedagogical imperatives and conflicting capstone principles. Should we focus on teaching content or should we focus on developing skills? Should we emphasise integration and consolidation of knowledge, or transition and the development of professional identity? Should we encourage specialisation of knowledge and skills or should we be offering a broader view that takes account of context and diversity? This article considers how these tensions may be revealed, negotiated and managed, using a case study of a postgraduate capstone unit in international law. In doing so, the article adds to the literature on capstone units in law, which has to date focused on the undergraduate experience, and demonstrates that the existing work on capstones can be successfully applied in the postgraduate context. The article further argues that postgraduate units may offer particularly useful vehicles for exposing the pedagogical tensions involved in designing a capstone experience and experimenting with techniques for managing those tensions.

T1  - Teaching Independent Learning Skills in the First Year: A Positive Psychology Strategy for Promoting Law Student Well-Being
AN  - 1773231165; EJ1074711
AB  - Empirical evidence in Australia and overseas has established that in many university disciplines, students begin to experience elevated levels of psychological distress in their first year of study. There is now a considerable body of empirical data that establishes that this is a significant problem for law students. Psychological distress may hamper a law student's capacity to learn successfully, and certainly hinders their ability to thrive in the tertiary environment. We know from Self-Determination Theory (SDT), a conceptual branch of positive psychology, that supporting students' autonomy in turn supports their well-being. This article seeks to connect the literature on law student well-being and independent learning using Self-Determination Theory (SDT) as the theoretical bridge. We argue that deliberate instruction in the development of independent learning skills in the first year curriculum is autonomy supportive. It can therefore lay the foundation for academic and personal success at university, and may be a protective factor against decline in law student psychological well-being.

T1  - Considering Pre-Service Teacher Disposition towards Mathematics
AN  - 1773231024; EJ1078380
AB  - The push to ensure pre-service teachers are numerate, on face value, is appropriate. However, the way in which numeracy is described is of great importance as it will determine what is assessed and how it is assessed. The way numeracy is described will also impact on how teacher educators assist pre-service teachers to develop their numeracy. This paper proposes that numeracy incorporates mathematical skills and disposition towards mathematics. A discussion of what disposition towards mathematics is and how it may be measured is provided, together with the proposition that addressing pre-service teacher disposition towards mathematics may help pre-service teachers to develop their numeracy-numeracy that reflects willingness to actually use mathematics in the real world. Suggestions on how this may be achieved are outlined.

T1  - Sustainability in the Real Property Law Curriculum: Why and How
AN  - 1773230984; EJ1074654
AB  - Traditionally considered the preserve of environmental law, for the lawyer and the legal academic, sustainability does not immediately come to mind in considering the subjects of the core curriculum. Yet in light of the contemporary imperative to deal with serious ecological decline and its social and economic implications, a law degree that fails to engage with issues of sustainability will not equip students to grapple with these issues. Instead, graduates will emerge with a discipline knowledge rooted in the modes of thought of the past. This paper presents a way of understanding sustainability as a broader context for the study of law. Using the example of land law, it mounts an argument for adopting a sustainability education approach to curriculum design in law. Finally, it offers a case study of how land law might be taught within the broader context of sustainability.

AN  - 1773230967; EJ1074672
AB  - Since "Courting the Blues" was published by Kelk, Luscombe, Medlow and Hickie in 2009, legal educators across Australia have been measuring psychological distress in law students, as well as implementing and evaluating strategies to support students' well-being. This paper reports on initiatives implemented at the Newcastle Law School in 2012 designed to reduce performance anxiety around a compulsory first year mooting assessment, and the implementation of a self-management curriculum underpinned by the fruits of research in self-determination theory in 2013, involving a partnership between legal academics and professional colleagues from the University Counselling Service. In particular, the paper will analyse the use of the My Journey transition resource, input on growth mindset, reflective practice, resilience training, and practical mindfulness as strategies to support well-being of law students.

T1  - Dividing Fractions Using an Area Model: A Look at In-Service Teachers' Understanding
AN  - 1773229710; EJ1078417
AB  - The paper reports an investigation into how a group of elementary and middle school teachers collectively attempted to solve and understand a fraction division problem using an area model. Solving the word problem required that teachers determine how many two-thirds fit into three-fourths. The teachers struggled to conceptualise fraction division, to meaningfully connect it to the area model, and to interpret the fraction remainder. Developing such understanding was facilitated by allowing sufficient time for group discussion and collective thinking, supported by use of visual representation. During this process, it was important for the teachers to identify an appropriate unit of measure and referent unit, and to make sense of these in relation to each other and to the problem. The importance of connecting concepts to procedures and to comprehending and using other fraction models (linear, set) is noted.

T1  - Using Transactional Distance Theory to Redesign an Online Mathematics Education Course for Pre-Service Primary Teachers
AN  - 1773229649; EJ1078418
AB  - This paper examines the impact of a series of design changes to an online mathematics education course in terms of transactional distance between learner and teachers, pre-service education students' attitudes towards mathematics, and their development of mathematical pedagogical knowledge. Transactional distance theory (TDT) was utilised to investigate and describe the interactions among course structure, course dialogue and student autonomy in an online course over a two-year period. Findings indicate that Web 2.0 technologies, when used thoughtfully by teachers, can afford high levels of structure and dialogue. Feedback from pre-service teachers indicated an improved attitude towards mathematics and an increase in their mathematical pedagogical content knowledge. These findings have implications for universities moving towards the delivery of teacher education courses entirely online.

T1  - Discrepancies between Standardised Testing and Teacher Judgements in an Australian Primary School Context
AN  - 1773229583; EJ1078419
AB  - This study compares the judgments that teachers make on their students' mathematics achievement with results taken from Australia's National Assessment Program: Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN). Using a sample of 2144 students, drawn from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC), the study develops two regression models: one with teacher ratings of achievement as the outcome variable, and the other with NAPLAN numeracy results as the outcome. A number of individual and environmental factors are then regressed onto these outcome variables, and the magnitudes of their effects are compared. The results indicate a consistency between teachers' judgements and NAPLAN test results, except for students with special needs, where a significant discrepancy exists. Implications of these results are discussed.

T1  - Quality Teaching Rounds in Mathematics Teacher Education
AN  - 1773228239; EJ1085890
AB  - The purpose of the study reported in this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of an implementation of teaching rounds as a practice-based approach to pre-service teacher education in mathematics. The teaching rounds implemented in the study utilised the NSW Quality Teaching model pedagogical framework as a tool for learning about and reflecting on teaching practices. The evaluation was conducted through a mixed methods approach using a combination of surveys and analysis of student assessment tasks. The major findings of the study are that pre-service teachers found practice-based experience and the subsequent reflections using teaching rounds very valuable compared to other learning experiences. We also found that pre-service teachers undertaking a Masters teaching degree were significantly more insightful about planning for and reflecting about teaching practice than those undertaking an undergraduate degree. We believe these two facts have implications not only at our institution but also at a global level for policy makers in other institutions providing pre-service education.

T1  - Experiencing a Mathematical Problem-Solving Teaching Approach: Opportunities to Identify Ambitious Teaching Practices
AN  - 1773228089; EJ1085902
AB  - Learning to teach is a complex matter, and many different models of pre-service teacher education have been used to support novice teachers' preparation for the classroom. More recently there have been calls for a focus on core high-leverage teaching practices and for novice teachers to engage in representations, decompositions, and approximations of practice. This study focuses on novice teachers' learning about core high-leverage teaching practices through engaging in a problem-solving approach to explore the learning and teaching of mathematics. Findings indicate experiencing this approach is an important first step towards novice teachers' learning about practices congruent with an ambitious teaching agenda such as justifying mathematical reasoning, emphasising conceptual understanding, and catering for all learners. Novice teachers also began to envisage how such ambitious mathematics pedagogies could be enacted in their future practice.

T1  - Developing Culturally Responsive Teaching through Professional Noticing within Teacher Educator Modelling
AN  - 1773227988; EJ1085885
AB  - Much evidence exists that culturally responsive and equitable teaching practices are challenging to develop. Evidence exists that in-the-moment coaching of "rehearsals" of practice can help foster mathematics teaching strategies, but how such coaching can assist the development of culturally responsive practice is less clear. Drawn from a larger study into rehearsals of practice, this article illustrates how teacher educator modelling of instructional activities with in-the-moment coaching can provide opportunities for professional noticing of culturally responsive teaching practices. Such opportunities were identified across seven videos of rehearsals of practice in which teacher educator pairs modelled and coached mathematics teaching. Examples are discussed in relation to facilitation of professional noticing and two aspects of a framework of "cultural competencies" for teachers of indigenous Maori learners. Implications include enhanced equity of access to mathematics learning through pre-service teachers being able to notice, discuss, and use culturally responsive teaching practices.

T1  - "Doing What Comes Naturally" in Mathematics Education? The Role of Social Class in Pre-Service Teachers' Responses to Innovative Mathematics Pedagogies
AN  - 1773227797; EJ1085899
AB  - This paper reports on a small scale study in mathematics subject knowledge teaching in a secondary mathematics pre-service teacher education course. "Responsible" or "ambitious" pedagogies are adopted on the course. Accounts taken from a larger study are offered from four participants reflecting on their experiences of the course. Permeating the narrative accounts is a sense of the interviewees' "dispositions" towards learning (and teaching) mathematics and the potentially classed nature of these. Drawing on Bourdieu's concepts of "habitus", "field" and "capital", we argue that these dispositions are related to issues of power with which we need, as researchers and as teacher educators, to engage.

T1  - Creating Practice Ready, Well and Professional Law Graduates
AN  - 1773227095; EJ1074710
AB  - There is a growing movement to create successful, ethical, well-rounded and practice ready legal professionals both in terms of their content knowledge and their mental well-being. As a Legal Teaching "profession" it is incumbent on us to answer this call in a responsive, creative, integrated, well researched and evaluated manner. This paper provides a suggested and evaluated framework for how this call can be met without resorting to "add on" subjects (no matter how well-intentioned), that stand outside the "normal" law school curriculum. Instead of partitioning well-being and professionalism into separate silos, it is suggested that all efforts must be made to integrate the seeds, thoughts, and actions of ethics, well-being, and professionalism into as many aspects of each of our programs as possible.

T1  - Learning to Teach within Practice-Based Methods Courses
AN  - 1773226962; EJ1085893
AB  - Supporting prospective teachers to enact high quality instruction requires transforming their methods preparation. This study follows three teachers through a practice-based elementary methods course. Weekly class sessions took place in an elementary school. The setting afforded opportunities for prospective teachers to engage in cycles of investigation and enactment. The course was focused on learning teaching practices through planning, rehearsing, enacting and reflecting on routine instructional activities that travel back and forth between field-based methods course and field placements. All three teachers grew in their capacity to lead goal-directed lessons by eliciting and responding to students' thinking. Our analysis connects the teachers' learning to the intentional design of the methods course.

T1  - Designing Approximations of Practice and Conceptualising Responsive and Practice-Focused Secondary Mathematics Teacher Education
AN  - 1773226893; EJ1085903
AB  - Opportunities for teacher candidates to investigate and enact the work of teaching in settings of reduced complexity--what are called "approximations of practice"--offer a promising path toward preparing more ambitious and equitable mathematics teachers. However, these approaches face the risk of not preparing individuals to continue ambitious and equitable practice within the socially- and culturally-defined work they are called to do in schools. In this paper, we discuss findings from ongoing design-based research in secondary mathematics teacher education around considerations for approximations of practice that are more "responsive" to school settings. We discuss analyses of methods courses and concurrent student teaching placements. Two main design considerations have emerged around the way in which approximations of practice are tied to the content and goals of school classrooms and how they specify and explicate the structure and complexity of teaching practice. From these findings, we propose future design and research opportunities.

T1  - Supporting Prospective Teachers to Notice Students' Mathematical Thinking through Rehearsal Activities
AN  - 1773226829; EJ1085900
AB  - In recent years there have been calls for ambitious mathematics teaching which places student thinking and reasoning at the centre of instruction. Drawing on a larger study concerning implementation of practice-based pedagogies within our initial teacher education mathematics programme, this paper examines the range of opportunities for prospective teachers to practise and explore the role of professional noticing within rehearsal activities. We illustrate how the rehearsal process served to highlight components of professional noticing, namely, making students' thinking visible, eliciting and responding to student thinking, and connecting to mathematical ideas. In looking at exemplars of each of these components, we illustrate how the mathematics teacher educators' coaching moves--prompted by their professional noticing of prospective teachers' learning--supported learning. We conjecture that the learning community's collective exchanges within the rehearsals affirmed more than the "desired" teaching orientation towards professional noticing; these efforts also made explicit the "how", "why" and to "what effect" such an orientation has on diverse mathematics learners.

T1  - Balancing Classroom Management with Mathematical Learning: Using Practice-Based Task Design in Mathematics Teacher Education
AN  - 1773226783; EJ1085896
AB  - In this paper we present the results from a study in which 21 mathematics trainee teachers engage with two practice-based tasks in which classroom management interferes with mathematical learning. We investigate the trainees' considerations when they make decisions in classroom situations and how these tasks can trigger their reflections on the teaching and learning of mathematics. In our analysis we used the constructs of "Social" and "Sociomathematical norms" (Cobb & Yackel, 1996) and "Teaching Triad" (Jaworski, 1994). Results indicate commendable norms trainees aspire to establish in their classroom, such as peer respect, value of discussion and investigative mathematical learning. However, they often miss the opportunity to engage students with metacognitive discussions and mathematical challenge as they focus on behavioural issues or endorse dichotomous and simplistic views of mathematical learning. We credit these tasks with allowing insight into trainees' considerations and we propose their further implementation in teacher education programmes.

T1  - Practice-Based Inservice Teacher Education: Generating Local Theory about the Pedagogy of Group Work
AN  - 1773226763; EJ1085887
AB  - Developing local theories about what best works for Maori students is of critical importance to Aotearoa New Zealand. This discussion paper focuses on grouping as arranging for learning, by examining multiple ways in which grouping as pedagogy appears in practice settings and associated literature. We take the stance of interpretive bricoleurs to generate understandings of group work in light of a new moment in New Zealand's pedagogical history, that of practice-based teacher education. We explore three examples of local theory cogenerated in English-medium education settings with predominantly Maori learners. We identify the emergence of an expanded set of practices that illuminate multiple internal contradictions within government, school-based, and practice-based discourses about group work as arranging for learning.

T1  - Deconstructing "Good Practice" Teaching Videos: An Analysis of Pre-Service Teachers' Reflections
AN  - 1773226523; EJ1085880
AB  - Video clips of mathematics lessons are used extensively in pre-service teacher education and continuing professional development activities. Given course time constraints, an opportunity to critique these videos is not always possible. Because of this, and because pre-service teachers make extensive use of material found during internet searches, much of it purporting to exemplify "good" practice, we were interested to know what sense they make of such material. By encouraging pre-service teachers to reflect and comment on the practices being promoted in this way, we wanted to hear what they focused on, their initial views of the teaching and learning shown in the video, and how their views were formed and affected by engaging in discussion. Findings indicate that pre-service teachers' responses to the material were dominated by their beliefs about mathematics and that engaging in discussion enabled them to appreciate the interpretations of others.

T1  - Reflection: Research by Design: Design-Based Research and the Higher Degree Research Student
AN  - 1773220714; EJ1083858
AB  - The article "Research by design: Design-based research and the higher degree research student" (Kennedy-Clark, 2013) appeared in the "Journal of Learning Design" Volume 6, Issue 2 in 2013. Two years on, Shannon Kennedy-Clark reflects upon her original article. Upon being asked to revisit this article the author reflected upon how much research has been done on design-based research as a methodology. So, in this response, she will draw upon some of the main ideas that are coming from recent studies and consider this in the context of Higher Degree Research (HDR). When the author was first introduced to design-based research, it was the methodological approach being used in a grant-funded research project at the Centre for Computer Supported Learning and Cognition (CoCo Lab) at the University of Sydney, Australia, where they were building an educational virtual world that was based on Harvard's River City. At the time, most of the literature on design-based research was grounded firmly in the learning sciences and came from leading researchers in the field, such as Barab and Squire's (2004) seminal text and from research groups such as the Design-Based Research Collective (2003). As the author's PhD was in this field, the approach seemed to provide more opportunities to improve her understanding of the study than other, perhaps more traditional, approaches. It also seemed relevant as design research is a methodological response to address issues in education rather than being drawn across from other research domains. The article as it appeared in 2013 is also presented. With the author's approval, minor edits have been made and the referencing updated to APA 6.0.

AB  - The article "Personal Coaching: A Model for Effective Learning" (Griffiths, 2006) appeared in the "Journal of Learning Design" Volume 1, Issue 2 in 2006. Almost ten years on, Kerryn Griffiths reflects upon her original article. Specifically, Griffiths looks back at the combined coaching-learning model she suggested in her original paper and compares it to the process of learning in coaching that she uncovered during her later research. She also reflects on the later work she did in vocational education where she actively used the coaching learning processes to patch educational gaps (and heal emotional wounds) left in adults after more than a decade of traditional schooling. In light of this reflection, she now proposes a different combined coaching-learning model. Griffiths' reflection is followed by the original article, "Personal Coaching: A Model for Effective Learning" (also see EJ1066467).

AB  - The article on which this paper reflects ["Exploring a Cross-Institutional Research Collaboration and Innovation: Deploying Social Software and Web 2.0 Technologies to Investigate Online Learning Designs and Interactions in Two Australian Universities"] presented elements of a research project investigating learning interactions in online courses at two Australian universities. This paper revisits that earlier account of researching "classrooms without walls" by distilling and updating the authors' propositions and by examining these propositions' potential wider applicability. The twin foci of this examination relate to effective online learning designs and innovative cross-institutional research collaborations.

T1  - Continuing My Journey on Designing and Refining Criterion-Referenced Assessment Rubrics
AN  - 1773219874; EJ1083802
AB  - The article "Designing criterion-referenced assessment" (Burton, 2006) appeared in the "Journal of Learning Design," Volume 1, Issue 2 in 2006. Nine years later, Associate Professor Burton reflects upon her original article. when the article was written, the author worked at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT). At that time, the development of criterion-referenced assessment rubrics was gaining momentum. In 2015, as the author writes this reflection, all 37 Australian universities that support a law school universally accept criterion-referenced assessment as opposed to norm-referenced assessment. This year, the author started working at the University of the Sunshine Coast and is proud to say that its assessment policy explicitly endorses the development of criterion-referenced assessment rubrics. The author has published several journal articles on designing and implementing criterion-referenced assessment rubrics and it continues to be a quintessential research interest. The main strength of the 2006 article is that it is based on fundamental principles of assessment, which remain relevant today. The discussion focused on the dichotomy between criterion-referenced assessment and norm-referenced assessment; definitions for criteria and standards; strategies to enhance the reliability, validity and transparency of criterion-referenced assessment rubrics; recommendation that markers are provided with marked examples of student work; recommendation that students apply a criterion-referenced assessment rubric to formative assessment; and the implicit promotion of diverse and authentic assessment. These themes are multi-disciplinary, and appeal to a wide audience of teachers and students. This article is a reflection upon that original article. The article as it appeared in 2006 is also presented. With the author's approval, minor edits have been made, the referencing and other conventions updated to APA 6.0 and the numbering of figures altered to reflect the new publication.

T1  - Reflection on "Designerly Talk in Non-Pedagogical Social Spaces"
AN  - 1773219686; EJ1083717
AB  - "Designerly Talk in Non-Pedagogical Social Spaces" (Gray and Howard, 2014) is a paper on a study that was conducted as an early attempt to understand the kinds of talk students engaged in outside of the formal curriculum in student-run communities that enhanced their design learning. While the paper has only been available for a relatively short time, there has been wide interest in the confluence of social media, design education, and learning opportunities that exist outside of the formal curriculum. This reflection discusses more recent work conducted by the authors, and explores the occurrence of designerly talk in a non-classroom studio space and the ways in which designerly talk arises without the initiation or management by academics. The paper, "Designerly Talk in Non-Pedagogical Social Spaces" (Gray and Howard, 2014) is included as it appeared in "Journal of Learning Design" v7 n1 2014, with minor edits.

T1  - Wiki Use That Increases Communication and Collaboration Motivation: A Reflection Several Semesters Later
AN  - 1773217994; EJ1083925
AB  - The article "Wiki use that increases communication and collaboration motivation" (Davidson, 2012) appeared in the "Journal of Learning Design," Volume 5, Issue 2 in 2012. Three years on, Robyn Davidson reflects upon her original article. This article gave an account of how wikis were used as a platform to provide an opportunity for students to work on group projects without such barriers as communication and collaboration issues that arise from traditional group work. The original motivation to write the article was to share an innovative teaching experience so that others may be encouraged to try using wikis in the classroom to facilitate group work. It is pleasing to note the surprising number of downloads the paper received. The author expects it has generated interest in those wanting to see how technology is being used and those considering adopting similar ideas for themselves.

T1  - Revisiting "Beyond Instructional Design"
AN  - 1773217676; EJ1083712
AB  - Since the article "Beyond Instructional Design: Making Learning Design a Reality" (Sims, 2006) was published, much has changed in the opportunities we have for learning, and Professor Rod Sims's thinking has evolved. In this article, Professor Rod Sims reflects upon his original article, and he offers an evolved model of learning design, known as "Design Alchemy." The original reason for challenging the concept of "instructional design" is that while the underpinning theory tends to hold true (that good design will enable learning), the practice he had observed too often focused on content (subject-matter) (re)organisation rather than the learner, learning, and knowledge application. This challenge aimed to debate whether a system that emerged from formal, classroom, military training was consistent with contemporary organic and personal environments of social computer-based and online education. For those involved in "designing for the learner," "Design Alchemy" demonstrates that the design of learning environments can be effectively and efficiently produced without explicit or initial reference to subject-matter; instead, a design focused on alignment of learning outcomes, learning activities, and assessment is sufficient to create a course, and in itself will define the necessary subject-matter resources.

T1  - After the Big Bang: What's Next in Design Education? Time to Relax?
AN  - 1773217525; EJ1083813
AB  - The article "Big Bang technology: What's next in design education, radical innovation or incremental change?" (Fleischmann, 2013) appeared in the "Journal of Learning Design" Volume 6, Issue 3 in 2013. Two years on, Associate Professor Fleischmann reflects upon her original article within this article. Although it has only been two years since she wrote the article, in that brief time, technology has continued to drive change in how design is practised, produced, accessed, traded, taught, and learned. The author has continued to adjust her media design curriculum with small modifications and, where warranted, radical changes. In two years, the application of the learning and teaching approach she devised and described to manage the increasing complexity of technology in media design education has stopped, but research into sustainability of new learning and teaching models has started and the implementation of the first fully online media design degree has begun. This article is a reflection upon that original article. The article as it appeared in 2013 is also presented. With the author's approval, minor edits have been made, the referencing and other conventions updated to APA 6.0.

T1  - Animating Preservice Teachers' Noticing
AN  - 1773217375; EJ1085875
AB  - The incorporation of animation in mathematics teacher education courses is one method for transforming practices and promoting practice-based education. Animation can be used as an approximation of practice that engages preservice teachers (PSTs) in creating classroom scenes in which they select characters, regulate movement, and construct conversations to generate playable animations (Grossman et al., 2009). We focus on the role of animation as a practice-based expression to denote who, what, and how PSTs professionally notice within a mathematics lesson (Jacobs, Lamb, & Philipp, 2010). The animation provides a mechanism for analysis that transfers PSTs' concepts of teaching to a perceptible reality (Lowe & Schnotz, 2008). We examined the affordances and constraints of using animations as a means of supporting PSTs' development of noticing.

T1  - Micro-Cycle Teaching Experiments as a Vehicle for Professional Development
AN  - 1773214057; EJ1085905
AB  - This study used design experiments, specifically micro-cycle teaching experiments (MTE) as a catalyst for practice-based professional development. The MTE incorporated research-based characteristics of effective professional development: it was embedded in the teachers' daily work of planning and enacting lessons, co-constructed with the researcher to build upon students' knowledge, and sustained over time. Pedagogical and mathematical content knowledge were integrated into the planning, implementation, and analysis of these MTEs. In this study, we investigated: To what extent can teachers engage in a MTE as an intentional method for improving teaching? Case studies were used to analyze ways teachers engaged in MTEs and how their teaching was impacted as the result of this experience.

T1  - Rainfall and streamflows in the Greater Melbourne catchment area: variability and recent anomalies
AN  - 1768579927; PQ0002675752
AB  - Observed rainfall and water availability is investigated across several catchments northeast of Melbourne using gridded rainfall data over the last 113 yr and reconstructed streamflow observations for the last 100 yr, focusing on the 1997-2009 record-breaking rainfall deficits, associated record-low streamflows and subsequent recovery from 2010 to 2012. These catchments provide drinking water for about 90% of the state of Victoria's population and hence are critical. The influence of large-scale tropical modes of climate variability affecting rainfall, and subsequently reservoir streamflows, are shown to be modulated by the orographic features marking this region. These remote large-scale tropical climate forcings have contributed strongly to recovery since 2010. However, across these catchments, the large-scale modes of natural variability do not explain the long-term deficit in streamflows in the last 15 yr. Annual streamflow in these wet catchments can skilfully be reconstructed month by month using catchment-wide observed rainfall. The year-to-year variability, decline during the last 30 yr and magnitude of the deficiency during the Millennium Drought are reasonably well captured but not fully accounted for by the linear combination of rainfall in the current month, the previous month and the previous 12 mo. Maximum temperature does not have a sizeable additional impact when added to the reconstruction, while the previous 12 mo of rainfall contribute to about 25% of the reconstruction's ability to capture many of these statistics.

T1  - Extreme weather conditions correspond with localised vegetation death at Cradle Mountain, Tasmania
AN  - 1768577396; PQ0002651636
AB  - A chance observation of a drought-related plant mortality event in early 2014 in a normally wet and cool alpine area was matched with local weather data providing a unique insight into this event. The observed plant death was largely indiscriminate in areas that were topographically predisposed to being susceptible to drought. The weather conditions surrounding this event included 5 weeks with very little rain, an extreme heatwave and subsequent brief periods where warm temperatures and dry air combined to produce highly evaporative conditions. Extreme weather conditions such as this are expected to occur with increasing frequency as a result of climate change. Observing and reporting on real-world examples of how extreme weather events affect native vegetation is integral to improved climate change risk assessment and to inform future management actions.

T1  - Simulated larval connectivity among Australia southwest submarine canyons
AN  - 1765989291; PQ0002617617
AB  - A biophysical dispersal model was used to simulate hydrodynamic connectivity among canyons located within Australia's southwest marine region using ophiuroid (brittlestars) larvae as a model species. The results show that exchange among canyons in this area is greatly influenced by the Leeuwin Current, transporting larvae in a unidirectional manner around Cape Leeuwin, and continuing eastwards along the Great Australian Bight. Larvae within canyons tend to remain within them; however, if they are transported above the canyon walls, they then have the opportunity to be transported significant distances (thousands of km). Analysis ofthe variability in connectivity patterns reveals concentrated larval flow nearthe shelf break, with increasing levels of variability in larval flow leading offshore from the canyons. While the average potential larval flow distance and duration (unweighted by dispersal probability values) between canyons were approximately 550 km and 33 d, respectively, the average realized larval flow distance and duration (weighted by dispersal probability values) were approximately 20 km and 5 d, respectively. This study provides the first consideration of larval connectivity among submarine canyons and will help improve management of these features by providing a better understanding of larval movement, transboundary exchange and the potential spread of invasive species.

T1  - Protist diversity along a salinity gradient in a coastal lagoon
AN  - 1765980276; PQ0002617663
AB  - The importance of microbial eukaryotes to aquatic systems has been widely acknowledged in the last decade, and the application of high-throughput sequencing techniques has revealed an astonishing diversity and high proportions of novel taxa. Most studies have focused either on marine or freshwater ecosystems; thus, information on estuarine communities is either incomplete or missing. We assessed the composition of microbial eukaryotes along a South Australian coastal lagoon affected by a broad (7 to 65 PSU) salinity gradient, the Coorong Lagoon. This lagoon extends for over 170 km from the mouth of the River Murray (Murray Mouth) southwards, where the salinity increases up to hypersaline values. We sampled 5 stations during the austral summer and winter and sequenced the amplified V4 region of the 18S rRNA gene using Ion Torrent. Genetic libraries were mostly represented by reads from 5 phyla, with Chlorophyta prevailing in summer, diatoms in winter and Haptophyta in the southernmost sampling sites. In spite of the broad spatial and temporal salinity changes observed, the communities of small eukaryotes clustered in 2 groups reflecting the sample location. Moreover, dissimilarities between samples were unaffected by differences in salinity, but increased with increasing geographic distances. Microbial exchanges from the Coorong Lagoon towards both freshwater and seawater occur via the Murray Mouth and are likely to prevent the formation of communities adapted to local salinity conditions. However, such exchanges likely decrease with increasing distances from the Murray Mouth, resulting in distance-driven eukaryotic communities.

T1  - Public Concern about the Sale of High-Caffeine Drinks to Children 12 Years or Younger: An Australian Regulatory Perspective
AN  - 1758246901; PQ0002448378
AB  - Background. Dietary exposure to high caffeine is a health risk for children. Governments are considering measures to restrict the sale of formulated caffeinated beverages (FCB) to children. Objectives. To investigate community concern about sales of high-caffeine drinks to children among Western Australian adults and describe Australian and New Zealand regulatory processes regarding FCB. Methods. Data from the 2009 and 2012 Department of Health's Nutrition Monitoring Survey Series of 2,832 Western Australians aged 18-64 years was pooled with descriptive and ordinal logistic regression analysis performed. Current regulatory processes for FCB are reported. Results. Most (85%) participants were concerned about the sale of high-caffeine drinks to children; 77.4% were very concerned in 2012 compared to 66.5% in 2009, p < .008. Females and those living with children had higher concern (odds ratio (OR) 2.11; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.44-3.10; OR 2.16; 95% CI 1.51-3.09, resp., p < .001). Concern increased with each year of age (OR 1.04; 95% CI 1.02, 1.05, p < .001). Conclusions. Community concern regarding sale of high-caffeine energy drinks to children is high and increasing. Being female and living with children were associated with greater concern. These findings support the Australian and New Zealand regulatory controls of FCB, including labelling, promotion, and advertising to children.

T1  - Simultaneous gut colonisation and infection by ESBL-producing Escherichia coli in hospitalised patients
AN  - 1722167957; PQ0001967405
AB  - Extended spectrum betalactamase (ESBL)-producing organisms are a major cause of hospital-acquired infections. ESBL-producing Escherichia coli (E. coli) have been recovered from the hospital environment. These drug-resistant organisms have also been found to be present in humans as commensals. The present investigation intended to isolate ESBL-producing E. coli from the gut of already infected patients; to date, only a few studies have shown evidence of the gut micro-flora as a major source of infection. This study aimed to detect the presence of ESBL genes in E.coli that are isolated from the gut of patients who have already been infected with the same organism. A total of 70 non-repetitive faecal samples were collected from in-patients of our hospital. These in-patients were clinically diagnosed and were culture-positive for ESBL-producing E. coli either from blood, urine, or pus. Standard microbiological methods were used to detect ESBL from clinical and gut isolates. Strains with multiple betalactamase genes that colonize the gut of hospitalized patients are a potential threat and it may be a potential source of infection.

T1  - Polyarthritis and massive small bowel bleed: An unusual combination in scrub typhus
AN  - 1709177931; PQ0001834635
AB  - Scrub typhus is an acute febrile illness caused by the intracellular parasite Orientia tsutsugamushi. Although most cases present with mild symptoms and signs and recover spontaneously, some cases can be severe with multi-organ dysfunction and a protracted course, which may be fatal if left untreated. Apart from fever and constitutional symptoms, atypical presentations allow this disease to mimic several common conditions. We report a case of scrub typhus in an 18-year-old male who presented with severe polyarthritis involving all large joints and a massive lower gastrointestinal bleed from ulcers in the terminal ileum, secondary to vasculitis in the small bowel. This combination of pathologies has not previously been reported in cases of scrub typhus. The patient improved following surgical intervention and specific anti-rickettsial therapy with azithromycin.

T1  - For India to Agree to a Climate Deal Like China Would Be Disastrous
AN  - 1708527245; 201518185
AB  - The agreement between U.S. and China on climate change at the APEC summit in Beijing last week sent participants at the G20 summit in Brisbane struggling to reconcile their response to this unexpected development. Tony Abbott, as rotating chairman, must be wishing he had stuck to his initial idea of not keeping climate change on the G20 agenda. On the plus side, the agreement accepts that industrialized nations who have been emitting gases for decades should bear more responsibilities in combating climate change as compared to developing economies.

T1  - Cork as canvas: exploring intersections of citizenship and collective memory in the Shandon Big Wash Up murals
AN  - 1707500672
AB  - Urban space has the potential to shape peopleʼs experience and understanding of the city and of the culture of a place. In some respects, murals and allied forms of wall art occupy the intersection of street art and public art; engaging, and sometimes, transforming the urban space in which they exist and those who use it. While murals are often conceived as a more ‘permanent’ form of painted art there has been a trend in recent years towards more deliberately transient forms of wall art such as washed-wall murals and reverse graffiti. These varying forms of public wall art are embedded within the fabric of the urban space and history. This paper will explore the intersection of public space, public art and public memory in a mural project in the Irish city of Cork. Focussing on the washed-wall murals of Corkʼs historic Shandon district, we explore the sympathetic and synergetic relationship of this wall art with the heritage architecture of the built environment and of the murals as an expression of and for the local community, past and present. Through the Shandon Big Wash Up murals we reflect on the function of participatory public art as an explicit act of urban citizenship which works to support community-led re-enchantment in the city through a reconnection with its past.

T1  - Re-Thinking Microbiology/Infection Control Education to Enhance the Practice-Readiness of Health Professional Students: More than Just a Curriculum Issue
AN  - 1697506231; EJ1060124
AB  - Undergraduate education in the health professions is intended to produce competent health professional graduates. Infection prevention and control (IPC) is a necessary element of daily practice in many health professions, to safeguard patients and staff, however previous research has established poor knowledge and implementation of IPC precautions despite escalating rates of potentially lethal healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) across the globe. This paper will discuss three key areas of influence for graduates' IPC knowledge, intentions and practice: perceptions of science, health behaviour beliefs (perceived risk and self-efficacy) and applied knowledge (microbiology). To date, each of these areas have been researched individually however there is an urgent need for improved synthesis and integration of these factors in curriculum planning and design, both inside and outside the classroom, to enhance the development of competent, work-ready graduates.

T1  - Five C Framework: A Student-Centered Approach for Teaching Programming Courses to Students with Diverse Disciplinary Background
AN  - 1697506005; EJ1060101
AB  - The already existing complexities of teaching and learning computer programming are increased where students are diverse in their disciplinary backgrounds, language skills, and culture. Learners experience emotional issues of anxiety, fear or boredom. Identifying opportunities for improvement and applying theoretical and empirical evidence found in literature, this study presents a framework named Five Cs--"Consistency," "Collaboration," "Cognition," "Conception," and "Creativity"--that integrates constructivist and collaborative learning theories in a student-centered teaching pedagogy. This framework is found to be effective by using it in the instruction of introductory programming course to post graduate students in three consecutive terms. Analysis conducted using survey questionnaires and interviews indicates that use of this framework has reduced negative emotional issues, motivated students to become active learners, and improved the overall performance. The five Cs framework provides an applicable model for a student-centered teaching pedagogy to minimise complexities from diversity of student cohorts.

T1  - Remixing to Design Learning: Social Media and Peer-to-Peer Interaction
AN  - 1697505724; EJ1060106
AB  - Social and participatory media offer opportunities to interact and share user-generated content. After some investigation and research, the authors are in their initial stages of using such media to provide a pathway for thinking about learning design in higher education. Using the concept of remixing, the authors aim to creatively blend and manipulate ideas to build a sustainable approach to course/program enhancement. Remixing is touted as one of the most important practices within the field of open educational resources, but it is not mainstream practice in educational thinking or design. This article highlights the authors' approach and uses their pre-service teacher education program and their previous high school study as an example of remixing. The high school study involved the integration of social and participatory media into the face-to-face classroom; Author 1 was the practitioner researcher in the high school study. This article articulates the use of online social environments at the high school level to highlight concepts of sharing and remixing as a creative and social approach to designing learning in higher education. It also attempts to consider this within a course-wide approach.

T1  - Bi-Relational Design: A Brief Introduction and Illustration
AN  - 1697505683; EJ1060093
AB  - This paper introduces and illustrates Bi-relational Design (BD) as a general approach to (re)solving wicked problems. BD theorises oppositional, equipositional and para-positional approaches to problem-specific dyads (e.g., subjective/objective) based on a general consensus of research on epistemological development. These epistemic positions are used to inform a design process that includes six iterative and emergent phases: (1) identification, (2) organisation, (3) analysis, (4) evaluation, (5) synthesis and (6) experimentation. The paper illustrates these phases with the design of an interactive rubric to support pre-service teachers' academic literacy during the transition to university. The paper concludes with a consideration of the applications of bi-relational design for problem (re)solution and resource development in contested or complex spaces.

T1  - The "Gourmet" Sausage Factory: Keeping It Human
AN  - 1697505636; EJ1060134
AB  - Whilst tertiary institutions have and continue to invest heavily in the technological aspects of online Teaching & Learning (T&L), there does not appear to have been a commensurate investment in the "human" aspects of the utilising the technology. Despite the broad recognition that teaching & learning "materials" need to be adapted for and to the onscreen medium, little attention appears to have been paid thus far to the actual "people" who are delivering it--who equally need to "adapt themselves" to that medium, in order to maximise the benefit of the technology by maximising the human communication skills of the people using the online medium--as distinct from the technical skills required to drive and deliver the bits and bytes. The "REdelivery Initiative" was a direct response to that notion. This paper details--by way of a narrative of one of the workshop participants--that part of the process involving the professional development of academics specifically in and specifically for the digital, online, T&L context, in order to both illuminate and maximise the potential and opportunities afforded by the technology.

AN  - 1697504598; EJ1060125
AB  - Technology integration is an important aspect of student competence in the 21st century. The use of technology in teaching and learning is a valuable practice for supporting student learning and engagement. Modelling the pedagogical practices that integrate authentic, performance-based opportunities for technology integration was the focus of a project designed to support future teachers with acquiring these same pedagogical practices. The project was an opportunity to demonstrate value for a competency-based approach to teacher education that integrates technology literacy as a required component of teaching and learning in the 21st century. It explored the extent to which preservice teachers integrated technology tools in the lesson plans they created. The use of various self-selected technology tools using this approach served as an illustration of the important aspects of sound instructional pedagogy including authentic learning, technology integration and performance-based learning.

T1  - Changing Pre-Service Elementary Teachers' Beliefs about Mathematical Knowledge
AN  - 1697487374; EJ1052599
AB  - Studies have reported that pre-service teachers often enter teacher preparation programs with beliefs and attitudes not conducive to teaching the subject conceptually. In the USA, the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics have brought a renewed focus on procedural and conceptual understanding. However, many U.S. pre-service teachers have developed a procedural focus from their own schooling experience. This study investigated the effect of a mathematics and pedagogy course focused on conceptual understanding on one class of U.S. preservice elementary teachers' beliefs about mathematical knowledge. The course used the Lesh Translation Model (Lesh, 1979) to build conceptual understanding through multiple representations. While the change in beliefs from the beginning to the end of the course was investigated, this study also specifically investigated the change in beliefs arising from session activities concerning division by fractions. The course combined difficulties that students can have when taught procedurally, shown with example video, and conceptual understanding that students can display when taught with well-structured activities. This proved to be a useful combination for changing pre-service teachers' beliefs by showing the need to learn fraction division differently and then providing conceptual ways to think about this concept.

T1  - Secondary Mathematics Preservice Teachers' Assessment Perspectives and Practices: An Evolutionary Portrait
AN  - 1697487306; EJ1052604
AB  - Over the past two decades, mathematics education reformers have increasingly called for new approaches to assessment. This call urges mathematics teachers to merge their assessment with pedagogy, to employ assessments that engage students in the process of "doing mathematics," and to exploit assessment to support learning. This paper presents a research study of how six secondary mathematics preservice teachers learned to use such reform-based assessment practices while enrolled in one of three reform-minded teacher education programs. Data includes three interviews that concentrate on each preservice teacher's views on assessment. In addition, a series of classroom observations focus on the ways each preservice teacher assessed student learning. Analysis of the data revealed three distinct stages in the evolution of preservice teachers' assessment perspectives and practices--from traditional to more reform-based. Findings indicate that preservice teachers first focus on how to assess before considering other assessment functions such as what to assess and how to use assessment.

T1  - Beyond the Binary: Dexterous Teaching and Knowing in Mathematics Education
AN  - 1697486873; EJ1052595
AB  - This paper identifies binary oppositions in the discourse of mathematics education and introduces a binary-epistemic model for (re)conceptualising these oppositions and the epistemic-pedagogic problems they represent. The model is attentive to the contextual relationships between pedagogically relevant binaries (e.g., traditional/progressive, student-centred/teacher-centred, discovery/transmission, constructivist/behaviourist) and epistemically relevant binaries (e.g., concrete/abstract, pure/applied, interpretivist/positivist, subjective/objective) that operate in mathematics classrooms. The premise of this paper is that ways of knowing mathematics (i.e., epistemologies) are actualised in ways of teaching mathematics (i.e., pedagogies), and vice-versa. The binary-epistemic model describes oppositional, equipositional and parapositional ways of knowing and teaching in relation to these binaries. We argue for a more a relational-contextual or "parapositional" approach to binary polarities that have otherwise proven divisive in mathematical discourse. In the context of the new Australian Curriculum, we illustrate epistemically differentiated ways of teaching measurement in a Year 5 mathematics classroom.

T1  - Prospective Primary Teachers' Beliefs about Mathematics
AN  - 1697486652; EJ1052608
AB  - Concerns about the negative mathematical beliefs of prospective primary teachers have arisen from evidence that such beliefs detrimentally impact future teaching practices. The aim of this study was to explore factors contributing to the effectiveness of a mathematics content-focused intervention designed to nurture positive mathematical beliefs. Utilising interviews, concept mapping, workshop observations and document analysis, shifts in the mathematical beliefs of prospective primary teachers were revealed. The role of the mathematics education tutors was critical in contributing to the development of positive beliefs. In particular, their abilities to develop a positive rapport with prospective teachers and to create learning environments conducive to increased understanding of mathematics concepts were most influential. Implications for primary mathematics teacher education courses are addressed.

T1  - Synergy of drug combinations in treating multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa
AN  - 1680444718; PQ0001255962
AB  - Background With the emergence of metallo-betalactamases (MBL) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), the value of carbapenem, the drug of last resort, is being severely compromised. Curtailing the use of carbapenems becomes paramount if resistance is to be reined in. Aims To study the role of synergy between combinations of drugs as an alternative treatment choice for P. aeruginosa. Synergy was studied between combinations of levofloxacin with piperacillin-tazobactam and levofloxacin with cefoperazone-sulbactam by time-kill and chequerboard techniques. Methods P. aeruginosa were tested for antibiotic susceptibility by the disc diffusion assay (260 isolates) and E-test (60 isolates). Synergy testing by chequerboard and time-kill assays was performed with combinations of piperacillin-tazobactam with levofloxacin (11 isolates) and cefoperazone-sulbactam with levofloxacin (10 isolates). Results Nearly all isolates were susceptible to piperacillin-tazobactam (96.1 per cent), followed by piperacillin (78.5 per cent). Seventy-one isolates (27.3 per cent) were found to be multidrug resistant and 19.6 per cent were ESBL producers. MIC sub(50) of amikacin was 32 mu g/ml and MIC sub(90) was 64 mu g/ml. MIC sub(50) and MIC sub(90) of cefoperazone-sulbactam was 32 mu g/ml and 64 mu g/ml, and for levofloxacin it was 10 mu g/ml and 240 mu g/ml, respectively. Piperacillin-tazobactam had MIC sub(50) and MIC sub(90) of 5 mu g/ml and 10 mu g/ml, respectively. Synergy was noted in 72.7 per cent isolates for levofloxacin and piperacillin-tazobactam combination, the remaining 27.3 per cent isolates showed addition by both chequerboard and time-kill assay. For levofloxacin and cefoperazone-sulbactam, only 30 per cent isolates had synergy, 40 per cent showed addition, 20 per cent indifference, and 10 per cent were antagonistic by the chequerboard method. Conclusion The combination of levofloxacin and piperacillin-tazobactam is a good choice for treatment of such strains.

T1  - Impact of vibration on the muscle endurance and fatigue during strengthening exercise
AN  - 1680435942; PQ0001536234
AB  - The whole vibration platform has been widely used for improved wellness. These platforms are commonly promoted to enhance the muscle tone and improve relaxation. There is a need of study to substantiate these effects on muscle contraction. This research reports the experimental study to identify the effect of whole body vibration platform on biceps muscle. Eleven healthy subjects participated in this study. Various parameters such as muscle endurance time, recovery period, onset of localised muscle fatigue and measure of pain level index were computed and analysed. The results of the statistical analysis show that there was a significant improvement (after using the vibration platform) in each of these parameters particularly in the muscle endurance time and recovery period.

T1  - The effect of target thickness on the ballistic performance of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene composite
AN  - 1677956468; PQ0001261190
AB  - The ballistic performance of thick ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) composite was experimentally determined for panel thicknesses ranging from 9 mm to 100 mm against 12.7 mm and 20 mm calibre fragment simulating projectiles (FSPs). Thin panels (-<10 mm thick) were observed to undergo large deflection and bulging, failing predominantly in fibre tension. With increased thickness the panels demonstrated a two-stage penetration process: shear plugging during the initial penetration followed by the formation of a transition plane and bulging of a separated rear panel. The transition plane between the two penetration stages was found to vary with impact velocity and target thickness. These variables are inter-related in ballistic limit testing as thicker targets are tested at higher velocities. An analytical model was developed to describe the two-stages of perforation, based on energy and momentum conservation. The shear plugging stage is characterised in terms of work required to produce a shear plug in the target material, while the bulging and membrane tension phase is based on momentum and classical yarn theory. The model was found to provide very good agreement with the experimental results for thick targets that displayed the two-stage penetration process. For thin targets, which did not show the initial shear plugging phase, analytical models for membranes were demonstrated as suitable.

T1  - Field evaluation of a push-pull system to reduce malaria transmission.
AN  - 1677888443; 25923114
AB  - Malaria continues to place a disease burden on millions of people throughout the tropics, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Although efforts to control mosquito populations and reduce human-vector contact, such as long-lasting insecticidal nets and indoor residual spraying, have led to significant decreases in malaria incidence, further progress is now threatened by the widespread development of physiological and behavioural insecticide-resistance as well as changes in the composition of vector populations. A mosquito-directed push-pull system based on the simultaneous use of attractive and repellent volatiles offers a complementary tool to existing vector-control methods. In this study, the combination of a trap baited with a five-compound attractant and a strip of net-fabric impregnated with micro-encapsulated repellent and placed in the eaves of houses, was tested in a malaria-endemic village in western Kenya. Using the repellent delta-undecalactone, mosquito house entry was reduced by more than 50%, while the traps caught high numbers of outdoor flying mosquitoes. Model simulations predict that, assuming area-wide coverage, the addition of such a push-pull system to existing prevention efforts will result in up to 20-fold reductions in the entomological inoculation rate. Reductions of such magnitude are also predicted when mosquitoes exhibit a high resistance against insecticides. We conclude that a push-pull system based on non-toxic volatiles provides an important addition to existing strategies for malaria prevention.

T1  - Soya and isoflavone intakes associated with reduced risk of oesophageal cancer in north-west China
AN  - 1668250732; PQ0001226690
AB  - To ascertain the association between soya consumption, isoflavone intakes and oesophageal cancer risk in remote north-west China, where the incidence of oesophageal cancer is known to be high. Case-control study. Information on habitual consumption of soya foods and soya milk was obtained by personal interview. The intakes of isoflavones were then estimated using the US Department of Agriculture nutrient database. Logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the association between soya consumption, isoflavone intakes and oesophageal cancer risk. Urumqi and Shihezi, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, China. Participants were 359 incident oesophageal cancer patients and 380 hospital-based controls. The oesophageal cancer patients consumed significantly less (P < 0.001) total soya foods (mean 57.2 (sd 119.0) g/d) and soya milk (mean 18.8 (sd 51.7) ml/d) than the controls (mean 93.3 (sd 121.5) g/d and mean 35.7 (sd 73.0) ml/d). Logistic regression analyses showed an inverse association between intake of soya products and the risk of oesophageal cancer. The adjusted odds were OR = 0.33 (95 % CI 0.22, 0.49) and OR = 0.48 (95 % CI 0.31, 0.74) for consuming at least 97 g of soya foods and 60 ml of soya milk daily (the highest tertiles of consumption), respectively, relative to the lowest tertiles of consumption. Similarly, inverse associations with apparent dose-response relationships were found between isoflavone intakes and oesophageal cancer risk. Habitual consumption of soya products appears to be associated with reduced risk of oesophageal cancer in north-west China.

T1  - Neonatal sepsis caused by Shewanella algae: A case report
AN  - 1668249666; PQ0001255970
AB  - Sepsis remains a leading cause of mortality among neonates, especially in developing countries. Most cases of neonatal sepsis are attributed to Escherichia coli and other members of the Enterobacteriaceae family. Shewanella algae (S. algae) is a gram-negative saprophytic bacillus, commonly associated with the marine environment, which has been isolated from humans. Early onset neonatal sepsis caused by S. algae is uncommon. We report a case of S. algae blood stream infection in a newborn with early onset neonatal sepsis.

T1  - Clinical Epidemiology and Paraclinical Findings in Tuberculosis Patients in North of Iran
AN  - 1668247255; PQ0001255594
AB  - Background . Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.TB ) causes a wide spectrum of clinical diseases. The prevalence of TB is different in various parts of Iran and throughout the world. The present study aimed to determine the clinical epidemiology and paraclinical findings of TB. Methods . A cross-sectional study was conducted from 2008 to 2013. Patient demographic, clinical, and radiologic characteristics, picked up from the TB patient's files, were collected using a standard questionnaire format. Data was entered and analyzed using the SPSS version 16 statistical software and P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results . Out of 212 patients enrolled in this study 62% were male and the mean age was about 50 years old. 98.6% were Iranian, and 46.2% were rural. Prevalence of smear-positive TB was 66.4%. Prevalence of positive PPD was 50.7% with no significant difference between HIV-positive and -negative patients (P = 0.8). Prevalence of diabetes mellitus was 17%. 36% of the patients had history of smoking and about 29.3% were addicted to narcotics. Cough was the most common symptom (94.5%) and 84% had sputum. 15 cases (7%) had extrapulmonary TB. The mean time between the onset of symptoms and admission was 46.5 days. The delay for admission between urban and rural populations was not significantly different (P = 0.68); but for those who were in prison, the delay was significant (P = 0.02). About 46% of the patients had cavitary lesions in CXRs. Conclusion . Timely diagnosis of TB especially in prisoners by understanding its most important epidemiologic characteristics and clinical features can help to make an early treatment and prevent spread of mycobacteria and their complications.

T1  - A biochemical approach for identifying plastics exposure in live wildlife
AN  - 1660402644; PQ0001008008
AB  - 1. Plastic pollution is a long-standing ubiquitous issue. Global use of plastics is continuing to rise, and there is increasing interest in understanding the prevalence and risk associated with exposure of wildlife to plastics, particularly in the marine environment. 2. In order To facilitate an assessment of ingestion of plastics in seabird populations, we developed a minimally invasive tool that allows for detection of exposure to plastics. 3. Using a simple swabbing technique in which the waxy preen oil is expressed from the uropygial gland of birds, we successfully tested for the presence of three common plasticizers: dimethyl, dibutyl and diethylhexyl phthalate [dimethyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate and bis(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate, respectively]. These plasticizers are prevalent in the manufacturing of plastic end-user items which often end up in the marine environment. 4. Using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and protocols to reduce background contamination, we were confidently able to detect targeted plasticizers at low levels. 5. The method described has broad applicability for detecting plastics exposure in wildlife at individual, population and species levels. Furthermore, the approach can be readily modified as needed to survey for plastics exposure in taxa other than seabirds. 6. Applying the simple, minimally invasive approach we describe here is particularly appealing for detecting plastics exposure at population and species levels, it shows promise for quantification and it has no observed detrimental impacts to wildlife.

T1  - Always a footballer? The reconstruction of masculine identity following retirement from elite Australian football
AN  - 1660392633; PQ0001113794
AB  - This study utilises a social constructionist and identity theory perspective to explain the processes in Australian football through which masculine identity is socially constructed and then maintained following retirement from the sport. The concepts explored highlight the importance of football in the construction of masculine identity and the changes that occur over time in accordance with circumstance and experience. This paper explores the concept of the 'jock identity' that can be the dominant lens through which all other dimensions of identity are viewed. Such is the importance of sport in the development of masculine identity in particular, the impact on the identity of retiring Australian footballers is significant. The experiences of retired Australian footballers with regard to the construction of masculine identity have not yet been conducted, and thus, this research contributes to the body of knowledge on sports retirement and offers important insight to assist in understanding masculine subcultures.

T1  - Development of 2010 national land cover database for the Nepal
AN  - 1660058049; 21289528
AB  - Land cover and its change analysis across the Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) region is realized as an urgent need to support diverse issues of environmental conservation. This study presents the first and most complete national land cover database of Nepal prepared using public domain Landsat TM data of 2010 and replicable methodology. The study estimated that 39.1% of Nepal is covered by forests and 29.83% by agriculture. Patch and edge forests constituting 23.4% of national forest cover revealed proximate biotic interferences over the forests. Core forests constituted 79.3% of forests of Protected areas where as 63% of area was under core forests in the outside protected area. Physiographic regions wise forest fragmentation analysis revealed specific conservation requirements for productive hill and mid mountain regions. Comparative analysis with Landsat TM based global land cover product showed difference of the order of 30-60% among different land cover classes stressing the need for significant improvements for national level adoption. The online web based land cover validation tool is developed for continual improvement of land cover product. The potential use of the data set for national and regional level sustainable land use planning strategies and meeting several global commitments also highlighted.

T1  - Determining trends and environmental drivers from long-term marine mammal and seabird data: examples from Southern Australia
AN  - 1654671363; 21296516
AB  - Climate change is acknowledged as an emerging threat for top-order marine predators, yet obtaining evidence of impacts is often difficult. In south-eastern Australia, a marine global warming hotspot, evidence suggests that climate change will profoundly affect pinnipeds and seabirds. Long-term data series are available to assess some species' responses to climate. Researchers have measured a variety of chronological and population variables, such as laying dates, chick or pup production, colony-specific abundance and breeding success. Here, we consider the challenges in accurately assessing trends in marine predator data, using long-term data series that were originally collected for other purposes, and how these may be driven by environmental change and variability. In the past, many studies of temporal changes and environmental drivers used linear analyses and we demonstrate the (theoretical) relationship between the magnitude of a trend, its variability, and the duration of a data series required to detect a linear trend. However, species may respond to environmental change in a nonlinear manner and, based on analysis of time-series from south-eastern Australia, it appears that the assumptions of a linear model are often violated, particularly for measures of population size. The commonly measured demographic variables exhibit different degrees of variation, which influences the ability to detect climate signals. Due to their generally lower year-to-year variability, we illustrate that monitoring of variables such as mass and breeding chronology should allow detection of temporal trends earlier in a monitoring programme than observations of breeding success and population size. Thus, establishing temporal changes with respect to climate change from a monitoring programme over a relatively short time period requires careful a priori choice of biological variables.

T1  - Secreted frizzled-related protein 4 and its implications in cancer and apoptosis.
AN  - 1652447889; 25501511
AB  - Secreted frizzled-related protein 4 (SFRP4) is a glycoprotein that acts as an antagonist of Wnt ligands, causing inhibition of the canonical Wnt signalling pathway. First noticed due to high expression levels during times of increased apoptosis, SFRP4 has been implicated in cell proliferation and differentiation and plays an important role in carcinogenesis. Many tumours such as endometrial, cervical, ovarian, prostate, bladder, colorectal, mesothelioma, pancreatic, renal, and oesophageal tumours are characterised by aberrant promoter hypermethylation, which causes variations in the expression level of SFRP4 when compared to normal cells. Combined experimental data appear to confirm the suggested role of SFRP4 as a local initiator of apoptosis; however, increased SFRP4 expression may not always correlate with an increase in apoptosis, possibly due to the complex interactions between different signalling pathways. SFRP4 can be explored for its use in novel therapeutic modalities as well as being a potential diagnostic biomarker.

T1  - Decadal land cover change dynamics in Bhutan
AN  - 1647006834; 21289530
AB  - Land cover (LC) is one of the most important and easily detectable indicators of change in ecosystem services and livelihood support systems. This paper describes the decadal dynamics in LC changes at national and sub-national level in Bhutan derived by applying object-based image analysis (OBIA) techniques to 1990, 2000, and 2010 Landsat (30 m spatial resolution) data. Ten LC classes were defined in order to give a harmonized legend land cover classification system (LCCS). An accuracy of 83% was achieved for LC-2010 as determined from spot analysis using very high resolution satellite data from Google Earth Pro and limited field verification. At the national level, overall forest increased from 25,558 to 26,732 km2 between 1990 and 2010, equivalent to an average annual growth rate of 59 km2/year (0.22%). There was an overall reduction in grassland, shrubland, and barren area, but the observations were highly dependent on time of acquisition of the satellite data and climatic conditions. The greatest change from non-forest to forest (277 km2) was in Bumthang district, followed by Wangdue Phodrang and Trashigang, with the least (1 km2) in Tsirang. Forest and scrub forest covers close to 75% of the land area of Bhutan, and just over half of the total area (51%) has some form of conservation status. This study indicates that numerous applications and analyses can be carried out to support improved land cover and land use (LCLU) management. It will be possible to replicate this study in the future as comparable new satellite data is scheduled to become available.

T1  - Streamflow rating uncertainty: Characterisation and impacts on model calibration and performance
AN  - 1647002780; 21287789
AB  - Common streamflow gauging procedures require assumptions about the stage-discharge relationship (the 'rating curve') that can introduce considerable uncertainties in streamflow records. These rating uncertainties are not usually considered fully in hydrological model calibration and evaluation yet can have potentially important impacts. We analysed streamflow gauge data and conducted two modelling experiments to assess rating uncertainty in operational rating curves, its impacts on modelling and possible ways to reduce those impacts. We found clear evidence of variance heterogeneity (heteroscedasticity) in streamflow estimates, with higher residual values at higher stage values. In addition, we confirmed the occurrence of streamflow extrapolation beyond the highest or lowest stage measurement in many operational rating curves, even when these were previously flagged as not extrapolated. The first experiment investigated the impact on regional calibration/evaluation of: (i) using two streamflow data transformations (logarithmic and square-root), compared to using non-transformed streamflow data, in an attempt to reduce heteroscedasticity and; (ii) censoring the extrapolated flows, compared to no censoring. Results of calibration/evaluation showed that using a square-root transformed streamflow (thus, compromising weight on high and low streamflow) performed better than using non-transformed and log-transformed streamflow. Also, surprisingly, censoring extrapolated streamflow reduced rather than improved model performance. The second experiment investigated the impact of rating curve uncertainty on catchment calibration/evaluation and parameter estimation. A Monte-Carlo approach and the nonparametric Weighted Nadaraya-Watson (WNW) estimator were used to derive streamflow uncertainty bounds. These were later used in calibration/evaluation using a standard Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) objective function (OBJ) and a modified NSE OBJ that penalised uncertain flows. Using square-root transformed flows and the modified NSE OBJ considerably improved calibration and predictions, particularly for mid and low flows, and there was an overall reduction in parameter uncertainty.

T1  - The effect of diesel exhaust exposure on blood-brain barrier integrity and function in a murine model
AN  - 1635019910; 21053896
AB  - Epidemiological studies indicate that exposure to diesel exhaust (DE) is associated with vascular-based disorders. To investigate the effect of DE on blood-brain barrier (BBB) function and integrity, 8-week-old BALB/c mice were randomized to DE in a cyclical treatment regimen over a 2-week period. Functional integrity of BBB was determined by considering brain parenchymal abundance of IgG within the hippocampal formation and cortex at 6h and 24h intervals following final exposure treatment. Neurovascular inflammation was expressed as the abundance of glial fibrillar acidic protein. Two doses of DE were studied and compared to air-only treated mice. Mice exposed to DE had substantially greater abundance of parenchymal IgG compared to control mice not exposed to DE. Increased parenchymal glial fibrillar acidic protein at 24h post-DE exposure suggested heightened neurovascular inflammation. Our findings are proof-of-concept that inhalation of DE can compromise BBB function and support the broader contention that DE exposure may contribute to neurovascular disease risk. Copyright copyright 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Epidemiological studies indicate that exposure to diesel exhaust (DE) is associated with vascular-based disorders. An in vivo murine model was utilized to determine the effect of DE inhalation on neurovascular integrity. The study demonstrated that exposure to DE compromises the integrity and function of cerebral capillary vessels. Heightened neurovascular inflammation as a consequence of sub-chronic DE exposure may contribute to risk for neurovascular based disorders.

T1  - Pharmacologic targeting of sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 improves the renal microcirculation during sepsis in the mouse.
AN  - 1627074704; 25355645
AB  - Microvascular failure is hallmark of sepsis in humans and is recognized as a strong predictor of mortality. In the mouse subjected to cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) to induce a clinically relevant sepsis, renal microvascular permeability increases and peritubular capillary perfusion declines rapidly in the kidney leading to acute kidney injury (AKI). Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a key regulator of microvascular endothelial function. To investigate the role of S1P in the development of microvascular permeability and peritubular capillary hypoperfusion in the kidney during CLP-induced AKI, we used a pharmacologic approach and a clinically relevant delayed dosing paradigm. Evans blue dye was used to measure renal microvascular permeability and intravital video microscopy was used to quantitate renal cortical capillary perfusion. The S1P receptor 1 (S1P1) agonist SEW2871 [5-[4-phenyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-thienyl]-3-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1,2,4-oxadiazole] and S1P2 antagonist JTE-013 [N-(2,6-dichloro-4-pyridinyl)-2-[1,3-dimethyl-4-(1-methylethyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-6-yl]-hydrazinecarboxamide] were administered at the time of CLP and produced a dose-dependent but partial reduction in renal microvascular permeability at 6 hours after CLP. However, neither agent improved capillary perfusion at 6 hours. With delayed administration at 6 hours after CLP, only SEW2871 reversed microvascular permeability when measured at 18 hours. Importantly, SEW2871 also restored capillary perfusion and improved renal function. These data suggest that S1P1 and S1P2 do not regulate the early decline in renal capillary perfusion. However, later in the course of sepsis, pharmacologic stimulation of S1P1, even when delaying therapy until after injury has occurred, improves capillary and renal function, suggesting this approach should be evaluated as an adjunct therapy during sepsis.

T1  - Prenatal learning in an Australian songbird: habituation and individual discrimination in superb fairy-wren embryos
AN  - 1808704998; PQ0003453788
AB  - Embryos were traditionally considered to possess limited learning abilities because of the immaturity of their developing brains. By contrast, neonates from diverse species show behaviours dependent on prior embryonic experience. Stimulus discrimination is a key component of learning and has been shown by a handful of studies in non-human embryos. Superb fairy-wren embryos (Malurus cyaneus) learn a vocal password that has been taught to them by the attending female during incubation. The fairy-wren embryos use the learned element as their begging call after hatching to solicit more parental feeding. In this study, we test whether superb fairy-wren embryos have the capacity to discriminate between acoustical stimuli and whether they show non-associative learning. We measured embryonic heart rate response using a habituation/dishabituation paradigm with eggs sourced from nests in the wild. Fairy-wren embryos lowered their heart rate in response to the broadcasts of conspecific versus heterospecific calls, and in response to the calls of novel conspecific individuals. Thus, fairy-wrens join humans as vocal-learning species with known prenatal learning and individual discrimination.

T1  - Aptamer-controlled reversible inhibition of gold nanozyme activity for pesticide sensing.
AN  - 1637562822; 25340286
AB  - This study addresses the need for rapid pesticide (acetamiprid) detection by reporting a new colorimetric biosensing assay. Our approach combines the inherent peroxidase-like nanozyme activity of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) with high affinity and specificity of an acetamiprid-specific S-18 aptamer to detect this neurotoxic pesticide in a highly rapid, specific, and sensitive manner. It is shown that the nanozyme activity of GNPs can be inhibited by its surface passivation with target-specific aptamer molecules. Similar to an enzymatic competitive inhibition process, in the presence of a cognate target, these aptamer molecules leave the GNP surface in a target concentration-dependent manner, reactivating GNP nanozyme activity. This reversible inhibition of the GNP nanozyme activity can either be directly visualized in the form of color change of the peroxidase reaction product or can be quantified using UV-visible absorbance spectroscopy. This approach allowed detection of 0.1 ppm acetamiprid within an assay time of 10 min. This reversible nanozyme activation/inhibition strategy may in principle be universally applicable for the detection of a range of environmental or biomedical molecules of interest.

T1  - Radio Broadcasting Chips for Smartphones: A Status Report
AN  - 1735655861; 2011-899498
AB  - On the assumption that radio broadcasting is more accessible and reliable than communications over wireless networks with Internet connectivity, some broadcasting industry leaders have proposed that FM radio chips be required -- or at least encouraged -- for smartphones as part of the nation's emergency communications preparedness. To give perspective on the proposal, this report provides information on consumer and industry trends in radio and wireless network communications. It also provides a brief overview of the role of technology in disseminating emergency alerts and information. Tables.

T1  - Fabrication of macro-mesoporous titania/alumina core-shell materials in oil/water interface.
AN  - 1629962992; 25268823
AB  - A series of macro-mesoporous TiO2/Al2O3 nanocomposites with different morphologies were synthesized. The materials were calcined at 723 K and were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscope (TEM), N2 adsorption/desorption, Infrared Emission Spectroscopy (IES), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-visible). A modified approach was proposed for the synthesis of 1D (fibrous) nanocomposite with higher Ti/Al molar ratio (2:1) at lower temperature (<100°C), which makes it possible to synthesize such materials on industrial scale. The performance-morphology relationship of as-synthesized TiO2/Al2O3 nanocomposites was investigated by the photocatalytic degradation of a model organic pollutant under UV irradiation. The samples with 1D (fibrous) morphology exhibited superior catalytic performance than the samples without, such as titania microspheres.

AB  - In the context of legislative action to fund the government through September 30, 2015, Congress is considering new funding requests from the President to counter two global issues -- the Ebola crisis and the Islamic State (IS). In 2014, these two threats became major concerns. The first cases of Ebola in Guinea, West Africa, were reported in March 2014 and spread rapidly since then. The IS threat quickly came to be viewed as an immediate threat to US partners and allies in the Middle East region, and a concern around the world, in late summer 2014. Tables.

T1  - Army Active Component (AC)/Reserve Component (RC) Force Mix: Considerations and Options for Congress
AN  - 1735656009; 2011-899524
AB  - The Army is composed of both an Active Component (AC) and a Reserve Component (RC). The AC consists of soldiers who are in the Army as their full-time occupation; The RC consists primarily of soldiers who serve part-time but who can be ordered to full-time duty. Debates over AC/RC mix center on whether to shift force structure between the AC and the RC and, if so, what types of units to shift. Although specific force mix recommendations can be nuanced, policy advocates generally divide between those who favor a stronger AC emphasis and those who favor a stronger RC emphasis.

T1  - Upgrading biomass-derived furans viaacid-catalysis/hydrogenation: the remarkable difference between water and methanol as the solvent
AN  - 1722180091; PQ0002112237
AB  - In methanol 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfuryl alcohol (FA) can be selectively converted into methyl levulinate viaacid-catalysis, whereas in water polymerization dominates. The hydrogenation of HMF, furan and furfural with the exception of FA is much more selective in methanol than in water.

T1  - Predicting reading outcomes in the classroom using a computer-based phonological awareness screening and monitoring assessment (Com-PASMA)
AN  - 1700655466; llba-201509130
AB  - The screening and monitoring of phonological awareness (PA) in the classroom is of great importance to the early identification and prevention of reading disorder. This study investigated whether a time-efficient computer-based PA screening and monitoring assessment (Com-PASMA) could accurately predict end-of-year reading outcomes for 5-year-old children in the first year of schooling. A longitudinal design was employed where the Com-PASMA was used to measure the PA ability of 95 5-year-old children at the start, middle, and end of the first year of school. Of this group, 21 children presented with spoken language impairment. Reading outcomes were formally measured after 1 year of schooling. School-entry measures of PA using the Com-PASMA (p < .001), in conjunction with language ability (p = .004), accounted for 68.9% of the variance in end-of-year word decoding ability. Sensitivity and specificity calculations demonstrated that the Com-PASMA was 92% accurate at school-entry, and 94% accurate by the middle of the school year in predicting reading outcomes at 6-years of age. Results suggest that a time-efficient computer-based method of screening and monitoring PA can support the early identification of reading difficulties in the first year of schooling.

T1  - The Workplace and HIV-Related Stigma: Implications for Public Health Prevention and Control Policies and Programs in Malawi
AN  - 1694981295; PQ0001542408
AB  - HIV/AIDS is a serious global infectious and chronic condition with no cure currently available. There is significant stigma associated with being HIV/AIDS positive. This can have substantial health implications by interfering with prevention efforts and discouraging people from safe sex practices, care-seeking behaviours, and seeking a diagnosis and treatment. Because HIV mostly affects the economically productive age group between 15 and 49 years in Malawi, workplaces have been substantially affected. There is also some evidence of targeted stigmatisation of people affected with HIV and AIDS at workplaces. The socioeconomic impacts of HIV/AIDS in the workplace are well recognised. According to the Government of Malawi, the major economic cost of HIV and AIDS is the loss of human resources in both the private and public sectors. HIV/AIDS affects work productivity through increased sickness, absenteeism, and loss of staff through death and attrition. The aim of this article is to review the literature to elucidate the factors that fuel HIV-related stigma in the workplace. For effective responses to address HIV/AIDS issues, investigation of the processes that underpin HIV-related stigma and their implications for institutional policies and programs are highly recommended as key areas for future research in Malawi.

T1  - Simultaneous decrease in ammonia and hydrogen sulfide inhibition during the thermophilic anaerobic digestion of protein-rich stillage by biogas recirculation and air supply at 60 [degrees]C
AN  - 1664212764; PQ0001186572
AB  - We had proposed a novel method to reduce ammonia inhibition during thermophilic anaerobic digestion via recirculation of water-washed biogas into the headspace (R1 system) or liquid phase (R2 system) of reactors. The feasibility of reducing the ratio of recirculated biogas to biogas produced (called the biogas recirculation ratio) was investigated in the present study. Thermophilic anaerobic digestion at 53 [degrees]C and 60 [degrees]C with a biogas recirculation ratio of 150 facilitated stable digestion performance and biogas production at a higher organic loading rate of 7 g/L/d in the R1 system, while the ammonia removal efficiency increased 1.23-fold when the temperature increased from 53 [degrees]C to 60 [degrees]C. At 60 [degrees]C, the biogas recirculation ratios in the R1 and R2 systems decreased to 50 and 10, and the ammonia absorption rates were 6.1 and 8.3 mmol/L/d, respectively, without decreasing the anaerobic digestion performance. The ammonia absorption rate of 8.3 mmol/L/d in the R2 system was higher than the rate of 7.8 mmol/L/d at the biogas recirculation ratio of 150 in the R1 system. The hydrogen sulfide content in the biogas was reduced to less than 50 ppm by supplying air at 3% of the amount of biogas produced into the reactor.

T1  - Seroprevalence of Brucellosis among Children in the Middle Anatolia Region of Turkey
AN  - 1660393649; 21322569
AB  - Brucellosis is an important public-health problem in Turkey. Children may constitute 20 to 30% of all brucellosis cases in the world, especially in the endemic regions. Data on the seroprevalence of brucellosis in childhood are very limited. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the seroprevalence of brucellosis among a child population. One thousand one hundred and ten subjects were included in the study. Blood samples were collected and tested with Rose Bengal (RB) and standard tube agglutination test (SAT). RB test results were positive for 6 patients, and SAT was negative for all patients. Our findings suggest that seroprevalence of brucellosis is decreasing in Middle Anatolia due to a new cattle vaccination and eradication programme which was initiated in 2009.

T1  - Modelling the manager: Representing rule-based management in farming systems simulation models
AN  - 1660044181; 21318806
AB  - We trace the evolution of the representation of management in cropping and grazing systems models, from fixed annual schedules of identical actions in single paddocks toward flexible scripts of rules. Attempts to define higher-level organizing concepts in management policies, and to analyse them to identify optimal plans, have focussed on questions relating to grazing management owing to its inherent complexity. "Rule templates" assist the re-use of complex management scripts by bundling commonly-used collections of rules with an interface through which key parameters can be input by a simulation builder. Standard issues relating to parameter estimation and uncertainty apply to management sub-models and need to be addressed. Techniques for embodying farmers' expectations and plans for the future within modelling analyses need to be further developed, especially better linking planning- and rule-based approaches to farm management and analysing the ways that managers can learn.

T1  - A Framework for Addressing Implementation Gap in Global Drowning Prevention Interventions: Experiences from Bangladesh
AN  - 1655740923; 21322568
AB  - Drowning is the commonest cause of injury-related deaths among under-five children worldwide, and 95% of deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where there are implementation gaps in the drowning prevention interventions. This article reviews common interventions for drowning prevention, introduces a framework for effective implementation of such interventions, and describes the Saving of Lives from Drowning (SoLiD) Project in Bangladesh, which is based on this framework. A review of the systematic reviews on drowning interventions was conducted, and original research articles were pulled and summarized into broad prevention categories. The implementation framework builds upon two existing frameworks and categorizes the implementing process for drowning prevention interventions into four phases: planning, engaging, executing, and evaluating. Eleven key characteristics are mapped in these phases. The framework was applied to drowning prevention projects that have been undertaken in some LMICs to illustrate major challenges to implementation. The implementation process for the SoLiD Project in Bangladesh is used as an example to illustrate the practical utilization of the framework. Drowning interventions, such as pool fencing and covering of water hazards, are effective in high-income countries; however, most of these interventions have not been tested in LMICs. The critical components of the four phases of implementing drowning prevention interventions may include: (i) planning-global funding, political will, scale, sustainability, and capacity building; (ii) engaging-coordination, involvement of appropriate individuals; (iii) executing-focused action, multisectoral actions, quality of execution; and (iv) evaluating-rigorous monitoring and evaluation. Some of the challenges to implementing drowning prevention interventions in LMICs include insufficient funds, lack of technical capacity, and limited coordination among stakeholders and implementers. The SoLiD Project in Bangladesh incorporates some of these lessons and key features of the proposed framework. The framework presented in this paper was a useful tool for implementing drowning prevention interventions in Bangladesh and may be useful for adaptation in drowning and injury prevention programmes of other LMIC settings.

T1  - Paleogeomorphology and evolution of the early Colorado River inferred from relationships in Mohave and Cottonwood valleys, Arizona, California, and Nevada
AN  - 1654677152; 21189652
AB  - Geologic investigations of late Miocene-early Pliocene deposits in Mohave and Cottonwood valleys provide important insights into the early evolution of the lower Colorado River system. In the latest Miocene these valleys were separate depocenters; the floor of Cottonwood Valley was similar to 200 m higher than the floor of Mohave Valley. When Colorado River water arrived from the north after 5.6 Ma, a shallow lake in Cottonwood Valley spilled into Mohave Valley, and the river then filled both valleys to similar to 560 m above sea level (asl) and overtopped the bedrock divide at the southern end of Mohave Valley. Sediment-starved water spilling to the south gradually eroded the outlet as siliciclastic Bouse deposits filled the lake upstream. When sediment accumulation reached the elevation of the lowering outlet, continued erosion of the outlet resulted in recycling of stored lacustrine sediment into downstream basins; depth of erosion of the outlet and upstream basins was limited by the water levels in downstream basins. The water level in the southern Bouse basin was similar to 300 m asl (modern elevation) at 4.8 Ma. It must have drained and been eroded to a level <150 m asl soon after that to allow for deep erosion of bedrock divides and basins upstream, leading to removal of large volumes of Bouse sediment prior to massive early Pliocene Colorado River aggradation. Abrupt lowering of regional base level due to spilling of a southern Bouse lake to the Gulf of California could have driven observed upstream river incision without uplift. Rapid uplift of the entire region immediately after 4.8 Ma would have been required to drive upstream incision if the southern Bouse was an estuary.

T1  - Prevalence of Anaemia and Associated Factors among Children below Five Years of Age in Cape Verde, West Africa
AN  - 1654676809; 21322578
AB  - This study estimated the prevalence of anaemia and associated factors in a probability sample of 993 children aged 6-59 months in Cape Verde, West Africa. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were estimated from a hierarchical model for multiple analysis to assess the association between anaemia and explanatory variables. The prevalence of anaemia was 51.8% (95% CI 47.7-55.8). Children who resided within poor household conditions (OR 1.99; 95% CI 1.06-3.71) were below 24 months of age (OR 3.23; 95% CI 2.03-5.15) and recently experienced diarrhoea (OR 1.58; 95% CI 0.99-2.50) were at high risk of anaemia. Anaemia should be considered a serious public-health concern in Cape Verde, mainly for children below 24 months. Further, special consideration should be given to children who have experienced recent diarrhoea and belong to families residing in poor household conditions.

T1  - Nursing Personnel Planning for Rural Hospitals in Burdwan District, West Bengal, India, Using Workload Indicators of Staffing Needs
AN  - 1654675882; 21322579
AB  - Lack of appropriate human resources planning is an important factor in the inefficient use of the public health facilities. Workforce projections can be improved by using objective methods of staffing needs based on the workload and actual work undertaken by workers, a guideline developed by Peter J. Shipp in collaboration with WHO-Workload Indicators of Staffing Need (WISN). A cross-sectional study was carried out to estimate the nursing stuff requirement for the rural hospitals and provide a quantitative description of imbalances, if there is any, in the allocation at the district level during 20f f. The average WISN turns out to be 0.35 for entire district, which means only 35% of the required nurses is available or 65% understaffed. So, there is an urgent need for more allocations and deployment of staff so that workload can be tackled and evenly distributed among all nursing personnel.

T1  - A Multi-objective Approach for Transboundary River Water Allocation
AN  - 1654665366; 21331492
AB  - The allocation of water to the stakeholders of a large basin involves conflicting objectives, since increasing the allocated water to one stakeholder leads to a reduction in water allocated to other stakeholders. The consideration of conflicting objectives is inevitable when the basin is a transboundary basin, where a river crosses at least one political border, either a border within a nation or an international boundary. This paper proposes a multi-objective optimization model for sharing water among stakeholders of a transboundary river, assuming that the stakeholders cooperate. Here, the cooperation implies a balanced water allocation to stakeholders since shortage in each stakeholder have negative impacts on others. Each objective function of the multi-objective model represents the water profit of a stakeholder; which has to be maximized. To reach a cooperative solution, a new method for transforming the multi-objective formulation to a three-step single objective formulation is proposed. The solution guarantees each stakeholder's profit which is larger than a percentage of its highest possible profit obtained in the case when the percentage of profit is equal for all stakeholders. The proposed model formulation was applied to the Sefidrud River where eight provinces are the stakeholders competing for water resources of this basin.

T1  - A downslope fire spread correction factor based on landscape-scale fire behaviour
AN  - 1647022408; 21318798
AB  - There is currently no fundamental understanding of the effects of topography on the behaviour of fires burning over a landscape. While a number of empirical models are employed operationally around the world, the effects of negative slopes on fire spread are ignored in all but one prediction system which may result in incorrect predictions. The general observation that large fires burning for some time over undulating topography can be approximated by assuming fire spread over flat ground is used to construct a quasi-empirical model framework for downslope rate of spread correction called kataburn. Kataburn is formulated for two alternative interpretations of slope spread-planar and linear-and can be applied to any empirical upslope spread correction model. Versions of kataburn derived using such models from Australia, the US and Canada are compared against experimental downslope data from the literature and found to better represent downslope spread than the existing operational downslope function.

T1  - Feedback of land subsidence on the movement and conjunctive use of water resources
AN  - 1647013363; 21318817
AB  - The dependency of surface- or groundwater flows and aquifer hydraulic properties on dewatering-induced layer deformation is not available in the USGS's groundwater model MODFLOW. A new integrated hydrologic model, MODFLOW-OWHM, formulates this dependency by coupling mesh deformation with aquifer transmissivity and storage and by linking land subsidence/uplift with deformation-dependent flows that also depend on aquifer head and other flow terms. In a test example, flows most affected were stream seepage and evapotranspiration from groundwater (ETgw). Deformation feedback also had an indirect effect on conjunctive surface- and groundwater use components: Changed stream seepage and streamflows influenced surface-water deliveries and returnflows. Changed ETgw affected irrigation demand, which jointly with altered surface-water supplies resulted in changed supplemental groundwater requirements and pumping and changed return runoff. This modeling feature will improve the impact assessment of dewatering-induced land subsidence/uplift (following irrigation pumping or coal-seam gas extraction) on surface receptors, inter-basin transfers, and surface-infrastructure integrity.

T1  - Investigating source water Cryptosporidium concentration, species and infectivity rates during rainfall-runoff in a multi-use catchment
AN  - 1647012432; 21276509
AB  - Protozoan pathogens present a significant human health concern, and prevention of contamination into potable networks remains a key focus for drinking water providers. Here, we monitored the change in Cryptosporidium concentration in source water during high flow events in a multi-use catchment. Furthermore, we investigated the diversity of Cryptosporidium species/genotypes present in the source water, and delivered an oocyst infectivity fraction. There was a positive and significant correlation between Cryptosporidium concentration and flow ( rho = 0.756) and turbidity ( rho = 0.631) for all rainfall-runoff events, despite variable source water pathogen concentrations. Cell culture assays measured oocyst infectivity and suggested an overall source water infectious fraction of 3.1%. No infectious Cryptosporidium parvum or Cryptosporidium hominis were detected, although molecular testing detected C. parvum in 7% of the samples analysed using PCR-based molecular techniques. Twelve Cryptosporidium species/genotypes were identified using molecular techniques, and were reflective of the host animals typically found in remnant vegetation and agricultural areas. The inclusion of molecular approaches to identify Cryptosporidium species and genotypes highlighted the diversity of pathogens in water, which originated from various sources across the catchment. We suggest this mixing of runoff water from a range of landuses containing diverse Cryptosporidium hosts is a key explanation for the often-cited difficulty forming strong pathogen-indicator relationships.

T1  - Evaluation of treatment methods using sodium percarbonate and formalin on Australian rainbow trout farms
AN  - 1647008557; 21318198
AB  - In aquaculture, effective parasite management often relies on chemical therapy when prevention strategies are ineffective. Fish are often medicated using immersion (bath) treatments. The efficacy of bath treatment relies on maintaining at least the minimum effective dose for the necessary treatment duration. Dose is influenced by the product used, calculation of system volume, application method, flow, mixing, treatment degradation rate and environmental conditions. To maximize efficacy the relationships between system, delivery and effective dose need to be understood or controlled. We tested four application methods using sodium percarbonate (SPC) and two application methods using formalin (FOR, 37% formaldehyde [FA]) in four semi-closed flow-through systems on four Australian freshwater trout farms with different flow and water quality characteristics. Target dose was 64mg/L SPC and 200mg/L FOR. Hydrogen peroxide (HP) released from SPC was measured photometrically and FA levels were measured colorimetrically. Each application method achieved consistent doses across repeated applications but not all methods resulted in the dose reaching the target concentration in all parts of the system for the whole treatment duration. Eliminating the influence of system variables by creating static baths provides the most stable treatment environment. Where this is not possible, minimising system variables by modifying flow assists in retaining treatment in the system and improving accuracy of delivered doses. Treatment methods must be validated in a system prior to being routinely applied and mechanisms to optimise dose-duration identified and implemented.

T1  - Comparative population structure analysis of Campylobacter jejuni from human and poultry origin in Bangladesh
AN  - 1639993493; 20983305
AB  - Campylobacter jejuni is the most important cause of antecedent infections leading to Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) and Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS). The objective of the present study was to define the genetic diversity, population structure, and potential role of poultry in the transmission of Campylobacter to humans in Bangladesh. We determined the population structure of C. jejuni isolated from poultry (n=66) and patients with enteritis (n=39) or GBS (n=10). Lipooligosaccharide (LOS) typing showed that 50/66 (76 %) C. jejuni strains isolated from poultry could be assigned to one of five LOS locus classes (A-E). The distribution of neuropathy-associated LOS locus classes A, B, and C were 30/50 (60 %) among the typable strains isolated from poultry. The LOS locus classes A, B, and C were significantly associated with GBS and enteritis-related C. jejuni strains more than for the poultry strains [(31/38 (82 %) vs. 30/50 (60 %), p<0.05]. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) defined 15 sequence types (STs) and six clonal complexes (CCs) among poultry isolates, including one ST-3740 not previously documented. The most commonly identified type, ST-5 (13/66), in chicken was seen only once among human isolates (1/49) (p<0.001). Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) revealed three major clusters (A, B, and C) among C. jejuni isolated from humans and poultry. There seems to be a lack of overlap between the major human and chicken clones, which suggests that there may be additional sources for campylobacteriosis other than poultry in Bangladesh.

T1  - Precipitation response to La Nina and global warming in the Indo-Pacific
AN  - 1627975631; 20970890
AB  - (ProQuest: ... denotes formulae and/or non-USASCII text omitted; see image).Recent studies have highlighted the nonlinear rainfall response to El Nino sea surface temperature (SST) events in the Indo-Pacific region and how this response might change over coming decades. Here we investigate the response to La Nina SST anomalies with and without global warming by performing idealised SST-forced experiments with an atmospheric general circulation model. The La Nina SST anomaly is multiplied by a factor ... and added to climatological SSTs. Similar experiments using El Nino SST anomalies were previously performed, in which large nonlinearities in the precipitation response were evident. We find that: (i) Under current climatic conditions, as ... increases, the precipitation responds in three ways: the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) dries and moves poleward, the maximum precipitation along the equator moves west, and the South Pacific convergence zone (SPCZ) narrows, intensifies, and elongates. For weak (...) La Nina events, the precipitation anomalies approximately mirror those from the El Nino events along the ITCZ and SPCZ, though there are some marked differences in the central-eastern Pacific. For stronger La Nina events (...), precipitation responds nonlinearly to SST anomalies, though the nonlinearities are smaller and differ spatially from the nonlinearities in the El Nino runs. (ii) The addition of a global warming SST pattern increases rainfall in the western Pacific and SPCZ, enhances the narrowing of the SPCZ, and increases the nonlinear response in the western Pacific. However, large La Nina events reduce the impact of global warming along the central-eastern equatorial Pacific as the global warming and La Nina SST anomalies have opposite signs in that region. (iii) The response to La Nina SST anomalies is driven primarily by changes in the atmospheric circulation, whereas the response to the global warming SST pattern is mainly driven by increases in atmospheric moisture. (iv) Large changes in La Nina-driven rainfall anomalies can occur in response to global warming, even if the La Nina SST anomalies relative to the warmer background state are completely unchanged.

T1  - Micromolar biosensing of nitric oxide using myoglobin immobilized in a synthetic silk film
AN  - 1627956019; 20956508
AB  - In this work we investigate the use of coiled-coil silk proteins, produced in recombinant Escherichia coli, as a new material for immobilizing biosensors. Myoglobin was embedded in transparent honeybee silk protein films. Immobilized myoglobin maintained a high affinity for nitric oxide (K D NO=52 mu M) and good sensitivity with a limit of detection of 5 mu M. The immobilized myoglobin-silk protein film was stable and could be stored as a dry film at room temperature for at least 60 days. The effect of immobilization on the structure of myoglobin was fully investigated using UV/visible, Fourier Transform Infrared and Raman spectroscopy, which indicated a weakening in the strength of the iron-histidine bond. This study demonstrates that recombinant coiled-coil silk proteins provide a safe and environmentally friendly alternative to sol-gels for stabilizing heme proteins for use as optical biosensors.

T1  - Applying a weed risk assessment approach to GM crops
AN  - 1622605663; 20878554
AB  - Current approaches to environmental risk assessment of genetically modified (GM) plants are modelled on chemical risk assessment methods, which have a strong focus on toxicity. There are additional types of harms posed by plants that have been extensively studied by weed scientists and incorporated into weed risk assessment methods. Weed risk assessment uses robust, validated methods that are widely applied to regulatory decision-making about potentially problematic plants. They are designed to encompass a broad variety of plant forms and traits in different environments, and can provide reliable conclusions even with limited data. The knowledge and experience that underpin weed risk assessment can be harnessed for environmental risk assessment of GM plants. A case study illustrates the application of the Australian post-border weed risk assessment approach to a representative GM plant. This approach is a valuable tool to identify potential risks from GM plants.

T1  - Beyond the glutamine expansion: influence of posttranslational modifications of ataxin-1 in the pathogenesis of spinocerebellar ataxia type 1.
AN  - 1622596930; 24752589
AB  - Posttranslational modifications are crucial mechanisms that modulate various cellular signaling pathways, and their dysregulation is associated with many human diseases. Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) is a dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive ataxia, mild cognitive impairments, difficulty with speaking and swallowing, and respiratory failure. It is caused by the expansion of an unstable CAG trinucleotide repeat encoding a glutamine tract in Ataxin-1 (ATXN1). Although the expansion of the polyglutamine tract is the key determinant of the disease, protein domains outside of the polyglutamine tract and posttranslational modifications of ATXN1 significantly alter the neurotoxicity of SCA1. ATXN1 undergoes several posttranslational modifications, including phosphorylation, ubiquitination, sumoylation, and transglutamination. Such modifications can alter the stability of ATXN1 or its activity in the regulation of target gene expression and therefore contribute to SCA1 toxicity. This review outlines different types of posttranslational modifications in ATXN1 and discusses their potential regulatory mechanisms and effects on SCA1 pathogenesis. Finally, the manipulation of posttranslational modifications as a potential therapeutic approach will be discussed.

AB  - The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act) authorizes the President to issue 'major disaster' or 'emergency' declarations before or after catastrophes occur. Emergency declarations trigger aid that protects property, public health, and safety and lessens or averts the threat of an incident becoming a catastrophic event. Given their purpose, the emergency declarations may precede an event. A major disaster declaration is generally issued after catastrophes occur and constitutes broader authority for federal agencies to provide supplemental assistance to help state and local governments, families, and individuals, and certain nonprofit organizations, recover.

T1  - The 'Islamic State' Crisis and U.S. Policy
AN  - 1735655786; 2011-899431
AB  - The Islamic State is a transnational Sunni Islamist insurgent and terrorist group that has expanded its control over areas of parts of Iraq and Syria since 2013. Its threat to these governments and potentially other countries in the region has drawn an international military response. There is debate over the degree to which the Islamic State might represent a direct terrorist threat to the US homeland or its facilities and personnel in the region. The US effort against the Islamic State, and the recruitment of regional partners, raises questions of whether the US mission and commitment might expand. Tables, Figures, References.

T1  - Executive Discretion as to Immigration: Legal Overview
AN  - 1735655889; 2011-899432
AB  - This report provides an overview of the three broad types of discretion that the Executive can be seen to have as to immigration: (1) express delegations of discretionary authority; (2) discretion in enforcement (commonly known as prosecutorial or enforcement discretion); and (3) discretion in interpreting and applying statutes. In so doing, it provides notable examples of each broad type of discretion, as well as potential constraints upon the exercise of particular types of discretion. Tables.

T1  - Immigration Legislation and Issues in the 113th Congress
AN  - 1767319874; 2011-910346
AB  - Immigration reform was an active legislative issue in the first session of the 113th Congress. The Senate passed the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act (S. 744), a comprehensive immigration reform bill that includes provisions on border security, interior enforcement, employment eligibility verification and worksite enforcement, legalization of unauthorized aliens, immigrant visas, nonimmigrant visas, and humanitarian admissions. Rather than considering a single comprehensive bill, the House acted on a set of immigration bills that address border security, interior enforcement, employment eligibility verification and worksite enforcement, and nonimmigrant and immigrant visas.

T1  - Aquatic Food Web Structure and the Flow of Carbon
AN  - 1639984804; 21115709
AB  - Carbon cycling is a cornerstone concept of ecosystem ecology, which has implications for climate change, ecosystem health, and human activities. This review investigates pathways of carbon within freshwater ecosystems, the role of terrestrial carbon in food webs, and the effects of food web structure on C emissions. Carbon may co-limit primary production even in waters super-saturated with CO2. Allochthonous carbon-subsidies make most lakes and rivers net heterotrophic; however, the use of carbon-subsidies by the food web (FW) may be limited by low nutritional quality of terrestrial C-compounds and the inability of bacteria to synthesise polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), which are essential for metazoan growth. Bacterivorous nanoflagellates which can synthesise PUFA are likely to create a channel connecting allochthonous C with metazoan production in some water bodies. Published studies suggest that FW structure may affect: carbon fluxes in and out of lake ecosystems; carbon accumulation and distribution within food webs; burial of carbon and carbon sequestration. Food web structure and nutrients can affect the carbon-emission/sequestration ratio and shift the state of the aquatic ecosystem between being a source or a sink for atmospheric carbon. Small lakes, such as farm ponds, are the dominant type of world fresh waters with highest carbon burial rates. Their productivity and FW structure are often modified by humans through nutrient fertilisation and fisheries management. We hypothesise that the planned management of these activities targeting a desirable emission/sequestration ratio, can be used as a tool for the reduction of carbon emissions to the atmosphere.

T1  - Dignity and ethics in research photography
AN  - 1667952141; 201508837
AB  - The aim of this paper is to provide new conceptual and practical insights about the issues associated with ethics and dignity when undertaking research involving the collection of photographic data. Case studies of photographs taken as part of a research project in Chennai, India, are employed to illuminate the significance of dignity. The case studies reveal that dignity-in-context provides a useful conceptual tool that encapsulates the range of ethical issues that might be encountered. This concept has two dimensions. The first, dignity-in-outcome, assists deciding what and whether to photograph by drawing attention to the need for those being researched to benefit from the research, to present an authentic view of the situation and to ensure that participants are not demeaned or reduced. The second is dignity-in-process that helps researchers decide why and how to photograph in terms of involving those being researched in the way an image is captured, choosing the right angle for the image and the impression the image will give if and when it is published. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Jumping between context and users: A difficulty in tracing information practices
AN  - 1700661509; 201505957
AB  - A constant shifting between two main tenets of the information behavior (IB) field-centrality of the user and the essential role of context-has become a differentiation point for contemporary approaches in the field, but it also poses a major difficulty in tracing information practices. On one side, the user-centered paradigm asks researchers to focus on the individual; on the other, emerging context-centered approaches move the position of context into the foreground of information studies. Although there have been attempts to create 'in between' approaches to achieve a compromise between these two positions, they have merely generated more positions between the two poles in a continuum between approaches focusing on the individual and those focusing on context. Such positioning not only creates an endless debate about the research focus of information studies but also limits such studies to a set of factors, a priori defined by the researcher. This article argues that IB research could benefit from actor-network theory, which could give the actors a space to perform their own positioning. [Copyright Wiley Periodicals Inc.]

T1  - Nursing studentʼs evaluation of a virtual classroom experience in support of their learning Bioscience
AN  - 1665170587
AB  - Face-to-face communication with students remains the gold standard in teaching; the effectiveness of this approach to learning is commonly and regularly assessed by studentsʼ evaluation of teaching and peer reviews of teaching. Critics note that increases in on-line education are driven more by economic forces than consistent evidence to show their long-term effectiveness or acceptance by students. Numerous studies report that students in higher education found their external studies comparatively more challenging than face-to-face delivery. Identifying how educators might best provide sufficient and effective personal support for students studying in the external mode continues to challenge educators. Opportunities do exist for blending on-line course work with synchronous interactions between students and their teachers but evaluations of these innovations rarely appear in the literature. In this study, a web–based virtual classroom simulated the synchronous face-to-face discussions that occur between Bachelor of Nursing students and tutors. First year students enrolled externally in a biological science course interacted in a virtual classroom for 13 weeks completing an ‘evaluation of experience’ survey following their final assessment. A comparison was made between ‘on-campus’ and ‘external to campus’ students to determine the relationship between i) overall satisfaction with the course and ii) final grades, as well as their experience of the virtual class.

T1  - Sex Differences in Autism Spectrum Disorder based on DSM-5 Criteria: Evidence from Clinician and Teacher Reporting
AN  - 1665156104
AB  - In the absence of intellectual impairment autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is diagnosed both less and later in females. This study used clinician and teacher report to explore sex differences in the behavioural presentation of 69 girls and 69 boys all diagnosed with high-functioning ASD. Evidence from DSM-IV-TR and DSM-5 are presented. Sex differences in teacher concerns were also explored. While no sex differences were found in the broad social criteria presented in the DSM-IV-TR or DSM-5, numerous differences were evident in how boys and girls came to meet each criterion. For example, girls were more likely to show an ability to integrate non-verbal and verbal behaviours, maintain a reciprocal conversation, and be able to initiate, but not maintain friendships. Moreover, girls presented with both less and different restricted interests. Teachers also reported substantially fewer concerns for girls than boys, including for externalising behaviours and social skills. Results suggest girls with ASD may present with a surface-level ‘look’ different from the ‘classic’ presentation of ASD, and present as less impaired when in a school setting. Consequently, results provide insight in to why the disorder may be more difficult to detect in cognitively-able girls.

T1  - Development and evaluation of cesarean section surgical training using computer-enhanced visual learning
AN  - 1665152500
AB  - Background: Skilled performance of cesarean deliveries is essential in obstetrics and gynecology residency. A computer-enhanced visual learning module (CEVL Cesarean) was developed to teach cesarean deliveries. Methods: An online module presented cesarean deliveries as a series of components using text, audio, video and animation. First-year residents used CEVL Cesarean and were evaluated intra-operatively by trained raters, then provided feedback about surgical performance. Clinical outcomes were collected for approximately 50 cesarean deliveries for each resident. Results: From 2010 to 2011, 12 first-year residents participated in the study. About 406 unique observed cesarean deliveries were analyzed. Procedures up to each residentʼs 70th case were analyzed by grouping cases in 10s (cases 1-10 and 11-20), or deciles. Resident performance significantly improved by decile [X2(6) = 47.56, p<0.001]. When examining each residentʼs performance, surgical skill acquisition plateaued by cases 21-30. Procedural performance, independent of resident, also improved significantly by decile [X2(6) = 186.95, p<0.001], plateauing by decile 4 (cases 31-40). Throughout the observation period, operative time decreased by 3.84 min ( p = 0.006). Conclusions: Pre-clinical teaching using computer-based modules for cesarean sections is feasible to develop. Novice surgeons required at least 30 procedures before performing the procedure competently. When residents performed competently, operative time and complications decreased.

T1  - Bullying Victimisation, Internalising Symptoms, and Conduct Problems in South African Children and Adolescents: A Longitudinal Investigation
AN  - 1665152110
AB  - Bullying victimisation has been prospectively linked with mental health problems among children and adolescents in longitudinal studies in the developed world. However, research from the developing world, where adolescents face multiple risks to social and emotional development, has been limited by cross-sectional designs. This is the first longitudinal study of the psychological impacts of bullying victimisation in South Africa. The primary aim was to examine prospective relationships between bullying victimisation and internalising and externalising symptoms in South African youth. Secondary aims were to examine gender and age-related differences in experiences of bullying victimisation. Children and adolescents (10–17 years, 57 % female, n=3,515) from high HIV-prevalent (>30 %) communities in South Africa were interviewed and followed-up 1 year later (97 % retention). Census enumeration areas were randomly selected from urban and rural sites in two provinces and door-to-door sampling included all households with a resident child/adolescent. Exposure to multiple experiences of bullying victimisation at baseline predicted internalising symptoms and conduct problems 1 year later. Additionally, baseline mental health scores predicted later bullying victimisation, demonstrating bi-directionality of relationships between bullying victimisation and mental health outcomes in this sample. Expected gender differences in physical, verbal, and relational bullying victimisation were evident and predicted declines in bullying victimisation over time were observed. In the developed world, school-based anti-bullying programmes have been shown to be effective in reducing bullying and victimisation. Anti-bullying programmes should be implemented and rigorously evaluated in South Africa, as this may promote improved mental health among South African children and adolescents.

T1  - Historical demography of Lantana camara L. reveals clues about the influence of land use and weather in the management of this widespread invasive species
AN  - 1647012966; 21276255
AB  - Weather is a general stochastic influence on the life history of weeds. In contrast, anthropogenic disturbance (e.g. land use) is an important deterministic influence on weed demography. Our aim with this study was to investigate the relative contributions of land use and weather on the demography of Lantana camara (lantana), a weed of agricultural and natural habitats, based on the intensive monitoring of lantana populations under three land uses (viz. farm[pasture], and burnt and grazed forests) in subtropical Australia. Lantana populations were growing vigorously across all land uses (asymptotic population growth rate, lambda >3). Examination of historical demography using retrospective perturbation analyses showed that weather was a strong influence on lantana demography with the transition from an El Nino (2008-09) to a La Nina (2009-10) year having a strong positive effect on population growth rate. This effect was most marked at the grazed site, and to a lesser extent at the burnt site, with seedling-to-juvenile and juvenile-to-adult transitions contributing most to these effects. This is likely the result of burning and grazing having eliminated/reduced interspecific competition at these sites. Prospective perturbation analyses revealed that lambda was most sensitive to proportionate changes in growth transitions, followed by fecundity and survival transitions. Examination of context-specific patterns in elasticity revealed that growth and fecundity transitions are likely to be the more critical vital rates to reduce lambda in wet years at the burnt and grazed forest sites, compared to the farm/pasture site. Management of lantana may need to limit the transition of juveniles into the adult stages, especially in sites where lantana is free from competition (e.g. in the presence of fire or grazing), and this particularly needs to be achieved in wet years. Collectively, these results shed light on aspects of spatial and temporal variation in the demography of lantana, and offer insights on its context-specific management.

T1  - The construction of social identity in newly recruited nuclear engineering staff: A longitudinal study
AN  - 1642295979; 20857816
AB  - This study examines the process by which newly recruited nuclear engineering and technical staff came to understand, define, think, feel and behave within a distinct group that has a direct contribution to the organization's overall emphasis on a culture of reliability and system safety. In the field of organizational behavior the interactive model of social identity formation has been recently proposed to explain the process by which the internalization of shared norms and values occurs, an element critical in identity formation. Using this rich model of organizational behavior we analyzed multiple sources of data from nine new hires over a period of three years. This was done from the time they were employed to investigate the construction of social identity by new entrants entering into a complex organizational setting reflected in the context of a nuclear facility. Informed by our data analyses, we found support for the interactive model of social identity development and report the unexpected finding that a newly appointed member's age and level of experience appears to influence the manner in which they adapt, and assimilate into their surroundings. This study represents an important contribution to the safety and reliability literature as it provides a rich insight into the way newly recruited employees enact the process by which their identities are formed and hence act, particularly under conditions of duress or significant organizational disruption in complex organizational settings.

T1  - Sustainable irrigation: How did irrigated agriculture in Australia's Murray-Darling Basin adapt in the Millennium Drought?
AN  - 1639984971; 21116327
AB  - The recent drought in south-eastern Australia saw the lowest inflows on record in the Murray-Darling Basin in 2006. As reservoirs were drawn down water availability for irrigation was cut. In 2007-2008 and 2008-2009, irrigators received about one third of their pre-drought allocations. Understanding how the irrigation sector adapted to less water will help planning for the next drought and a future in which irrigation water use will be reduced permanently in the basin. The aggregate responses that we report are consistent with reported data on strategies used by irrigators to adapt to less water, including water trading, input substitution, changes to crop mix, and improvements to technology leading to reduced water application rates and yield increases. These responses likely also provide some insight on how irrigators will adapt to future more permanent reductions in irrigation water and assist in the identification of constraints to adaption.

T1  - Effectiveness of the Bjerknes stability index in representing ocean dynamics
AN  - 1627986967; 20926494
AB  - The El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a naturally occurring coupled phenomenon originating in the tropical Pacific Ocean that relies on ocean-atmosphere feedbacks. The Bjerknes stability index (BJ index), derived from the mixed-layer heat budget, aims to quantify the ENSO feedback process in order to explore the linear stability properties of ENSO. More recently, the BJ index has been used for model intercomparisons, particularly for the CMIP3 and CMIP5 models. This study investigates the effectiveness of the BJ index in representing the key ENSO ocean feedbacks-namely the thermocline, zonal advective, and Ekman feedbacks-by evaluating the amplitudes and phases of the BJ index terms against the corresponding heat budget terms from which they were derived. The output from Australian Community Climate and Earth System Simulator Ocean Model (a global ocean/sea ice flux-forced model) is used to calculate the heat budget in the equatorial Pacific. Through the model evaluation process, the robustness of the BJ index terms are tested. We find that the BJ index overestimates the relative importance of the thermocline feedback to the zonal advective feedback when compared with the corresponding terms from the heat budget equation. The assumption of linearity between variables in the BJ index formulation is the primary reason for these differences. Our results imply that a model intercomparison relying on the BJ index to explain ENSO behavior is not necessarily an accurate quantification of dynamical differences between models that are inherently nonlinear. For these reasons, the BJ index may not fully explain underpinning changes in ENSO under global warming scenarios.

T1  - Characterising the phytophagous arthropod fauna of a single host plant species: assessing survey completeness at continental and local scales
AN  - 1622608589; 20873192
AB  - Quantifying survey completeness is a key step in designing and interpreting biodiversity assessments. To date this has only been examined either at a local scale through repetitive sampling, or across broader geographic areas through multiple survey sites. In this paper, we determine the completeness of sampling at both local and continental scales, of the phytophagous arthropod assemblage on the Neotropical shrub Parkinsonia aculeata (Leguminosae). We used survey gap analysis (SGA) to determine whether existing surveys adequately sampled the diversity of environments and geographic space covered by the plant. Within defined geographic regions, we determined survey completeness at a local scale with species accumulation curves. SGA identified the highest priority sites for future sampling in the Sonoran Desert and the Pacific Coast of South America. The arthropods sampled on P. aculeata differed significantly between seasons, highlighting the importance of including surveys throughout the year. At the local scale, surveys in most regions were estimated to have sampled <50 % of all species. Only the Mexican Gulf, following 84 samples including 902 individuals, had a reasonably complete sample of all species (more than 50 %). As in other studies, rare species will continue to be detected even after extensive surveying, and it is likely that close to 100 samples or 1,000 individuals will be needed to attain 50 % survey completeness in a region. However, if the objective is to document close "host-associations" then effort may be better directed at surveying ecologically distinct new areas rather than exhaustive sampling in existing ones. Methods such as SGA can direct such surveys, and in conjunction with species-richness estimates, can be used to assess the adequacy of existing surveys.

T1  - Effect of ankle taping on angle and force matching and strength of the plantar flexors
AN  - 1622605336; 20881368
AB  - Objective Investigate the effect of ankle taping on plantar-flexion strength, angle matching and force matching. Design Single group, repeated measures. Setting Laboratory of an educational institution. Participants Twenty uninjured females (22.9 plus or minus 3.6 years). Main Outcome Measures Tape was applied to the ankle using a conventional hindfoot technique. Angle and force matching, and plantar-flexor strength were assessed using the purpose built dual ankle dynamometer, and measures were taken prior to and following taping. Angle matching was assessed passively and actively at 10, 15 and 20 degree of plantar-flexion. Participants were required to match the angle of the reference leg with the contralateral leg. Force matching was assessed at 10 degree of plantar-flexion and participants matched the torque of the reference leg with the contralateral leg. Results Taping had no effect on absolute errors during active or passive angle matching. Regardless of taping, the ankle angle tested had a significant effect on passive angle matching (p < 0.001); subjects were most accurate at matching a plantar-flexion angle of 20 degree . Ankle taping had no effect on force matching. Taping significantly improved peak plantar-flexion strength by 20% (p = 0.028). Conclusion Ankle taping has little effect on contralateral force and angle matching, but it can enhance peak plantar-flexion strength.

T1  - Predictive modelling to aid the regional-scale management of a vertebrate pest
AN  - 1611614321; 20815191
AB  - Extensive resources are allocated to managing vertebrate pests, yet spatial understanding of pest threats, and how they respond to management, is limited at the regional scale where much decision-making is undertaken. We provide regional-scale spatial models and management guidance for European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in a 260,791 km super(2) region in Australia by determining habitat suitability, habitat susceptibility and the effects of the primary rabbit management options (barrier fence, shooting and baiting and warren ripping) or changing predation or disease control levels. A participatory modelling approach was used to develop a Bayesian network which captured the main drivers of suitability and spread, which in turn was linked spatially to develop high resolution risk maps. Policy-makers, rabbit managers and technical experts were responsible for defining the questions the model needed to address, and for subsequently developing and parameterising the model. Habitat suitability was determined by conditions required for warren-building and by above-ground requirements, such as food and harbour, and habitat susceptibility by the distance from current distributions, habitat suitability, and the costs of traversing habitats of different quality. At least one-third of the region had a high probability of being highly suitable (support high rabbit densities), with the model supported by validation. Habitat susceptibility was largely restricted by the current known rabbit distribution. Warren ripping was the most effective control option as warrens were considered essential for rabbit persistence. The anticipated increase in disease resistance was predicted to increase the probability of moderately suitable habitat becoming highly suitable, but not increase the at-risk area. We demonstrate that it is possible to build spatial models to guide regional-level management of vertebrate pests which use the best available knowledge and capture fine spatial-scale processes.

T1  - Multiple recent introductions of apid bees into Pacific archipelagos signify potentially large consequences for both agriculture and indigenous ecosystems
AN  - 1611612305; 20815182
AB  - The islands of the south west Pacific (SWP) are highly biodiverse, yet records of their bee fauna suggest a region depauperate of a key pollinator suite. Studies of the bees of Fiji based on molecular data have revealed a recent origin with the majority of species having arrived since the last glacial maximum or introduced since human colonization. Here we use DNA barcodes to provide the first detailed account of Apidae bees from Vanuatu, Fiji, and Samoa. We show that most if not all species in these archipelagos have been recently introduced from Australia and south east Asia, with a further species introduced from the New World. Some of these species have become regionally abundant and we discuss the potential impact of introduced pollinators on endemic plant-pollinator associations. Given the wide-reaching role of native pollinators in island systems, yet lack of understanding of SWP pollinator suites, our study highlights the urgent need for more detailed pollinator research in the region.

T1  - Paralytic shellfish toxins, including deoxydecarbamoyl-STX, in wild-caught Tasmanian abalone (Haliotis rubra).
AN  - 1609506904; 25157803
AB  - For the first time wild-caught Tasmanian abalone, Haliotis rubra, have been reported to contain paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs). This observation followed blooms of the toxic dinoflagellate Gymnodinium catenatum. No illnesses were reported, but harvesting restrictions were enforced in commercial areas. Abalone were assayed using HPLC-FLD methodology based on AOAC official method 2005.06. An uncommon congener, deoxydecarbamoyl-STX (doSTX), was observed in addition to regulated PSTs as unassigned chromatographic peaks. A quantitative reference material was prepared from contaminated Tasmanian abalone viscera and ampouled at 54.2 μmol/L. The LD50 of doSTX via intraperitoneal injection was 1069 nmol/kg (95% confidence limits 983-1100 nmol/kg), indicating it is nearly 40 times less toxic than STX. A toxicity equivalence factor of 0.042 was generated using the mouse bioassay. Levels of PSTs varied among individuals from the same site, although the toxin profile remained relatively consistent. In the foot tissue, STX, decarbamoyl-STX and doSTX were identified. On a molar basis doSTX was the dominant congener in both foot and viscera samples. The viscera toxin profile was more complex, with other less toxic PST congeners observed and was similar to mussels from the same site. This finding implicates localised dinoflagellate blooms as the PST source in Tasmanian abalone.

T1  - Permanent Legal Immigration to the United States: Policy Overview
AN  - 1735655906; 2011-899500
AB  - Four major principles underlie US policy on legal permanent immigration: the reunification of families, the admission of immigrants with needed skills, the protection of refugees, and the diversity of admissions by country of origin -- Embodied in federal law, the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The critiques of the legal immigration system are extensive, but there is no consensus on the specific direction the reforms of the law should take. This primer on legal permanent immigration law, policies, and trends provides a backdrop for the policy options and debates that may emerge as Congress considers a revision of the legal immigration system.

AN  - 1735653724; 2011-899433
AB  - In March 2014, an Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak was reported in Guinea, West Africa -- the first in West Africa. The outbreak is continuing to spread in Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia; It has been contained in Nigeria and Senegal and has been detected in Mali. As of October 22, 2014, more than 10,000 people have contracted EVD, more than half of whom have died. Until October 2014, no secondary EVD cases had occurred outside of Africa, but since then, health workers in Spain and the US contracted EVD cases while providing care for Ebola patients.

T1  - Prenatal Phthalate Exposures and Anogenital Distance in Swedish Boys
AN  - 1654669762; PQ0001052572
AB  - Background: Phthalates are used as plasticizers in soft polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and in a large number of consumer products. Because of reported health risks, diisononyl phthalate (DiNP) has been introduced as a replacement for di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) in soft PVC. This raises concerns because animal data suggest that DiNP may have antiandrogenic properties similar to those of DEHP. The anogenital distance (AGD)-the distance from the anus to the genitals-has been used to assess reproductive toxicity. Objective: The objective of this study was to examine the associations between prenatal phthalate exposure and AGD in Swedish infants. Methods: AGD was measured in 196 boys at 21 months of age, and first-trimester urine was analyzed for 10 phthalate metabolites of DEP (diethyl phthalate), DBP (dibutyl phthalate), DEHP, BBzP (benzylbutyl phthalate), as well as DiNP and creatinine. Data on covariates were collected by questionnaires. Results: The most significant associations were found between the shorter of two AGD measures (anoscrotal distance; AGDas) and DiNP metabolites and strongest for oh-MMeOP [mono-(4-methyl-7-hydroxyloctyl) phthalate] and oxo-MMeOP [mono-(2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl) phthalate]. However, the AGDas reduction was small (4%) in relation to more than an interquartile range increase in DiNP exposure. Conclusions: These findings call into question the safety of substituting DiNP for DEHP in soft PVC, particularly because a shorter male AGD has been shown to relate to male genital birth defects in children and impaired reproductive function in adult males and the fact that human levels of DiNP are increasing globally.

T1  - Building a Robust 21st Century Chemical Testing Program at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency: Recommendations for Strengthening Scientific Engagement
AN  - 1654688932; PQ0001052571
AB  - Background: Biological pathway-based chemical testing approaches are central to the National Research Council's vision for 21st century toxicity testing. Approaches such as high-throughput in vitro screening offer the potential to evaluate thousands of chemicals faster and cheaper than ever before and to reduce testing on laboratory animals. Collaborative scientific engagement is important in addressing scientific issues arising in new federal chemical testing programs and for achieving stakeholder support of their use. Objectives: We present two recommendations specifically focused on increasing scientific engagement in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ToxCast(TM) initiative. Through these recommendations we seek to bolster the scientific foundation of federal chemical testing efforts such as ToxCast(TM) and the public health decisions that rely upon them. Discussion: Environmental Defense Fund works across disciplines and with diverse groups to improve the science underlying environmental health decisions. We propose that the U.S. EPA can strengthen the scientific foundation of its new chemical testing efforts and increase support for them in the scientific research community by a) expanding and diversifying scientific input into the development and application of new chemical testing methods through collaborative workshops, and b) seeking out mutually beneficial research partnerships. Conclusions: Our recommendations provide concrete actions for the U.S. EPA to increase and diversify engagement with the scientific research community in its ToxCast(TM) initiative. We believe that such engagement will help ensure that new chemical testing data are scientifically robust and that the U.S. EPA gains the support and acceptance needed to sustain new testing efforts to protect public health.

T1  - Gold nanospikes based microsensor as a highly accurate mercury emission monitoring system.
AN  - 1616473353; 25338965
AB  - Anthropogenic elemental mercury (Hg(0)) emission is a serious worldwide environmental problem due to the extreme toxicity of the heavy metal to humans, plants and wildlife. Development of an accurate and cheap microsensor based online monitoring system which can be integrated as part of Hg(0) removal and control processes in industry is still a major challenge. Here, we demonstrate that forming Au nanospike structures directly onto the electrodes of a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) using a novel electrochemical route results in a self-regenerating, highly robust, stable, sensitive and selective Hg(0) vapor sensor. The data from a 127 day continuous test performed in the presence of volatile organic compounds and high humidity levels, showed that the sensor with an electrodeposted sensitive layer had 260% higher response magnitude, 3.4 times lower detection limit (~22 μg/m(3) or ~2.46 ppb(v)) and higher accuracy (98% Vs 35%) over a Au control based QCM (unmodified) when exposed to a Hg(0) vapor concentration of 10.55 mg/m(3) at 101°C. Statistical analysis of the long term data showed that the nano-engineered Hg(0) sorption sites on the developed Au nanospikes sensitive layer play a critical role in the enhanced sensitivity and selectivity of the developed sensor towards Hg(0) vapor.

T1  - Commuting-Adjusted Short-Term Health Impact Assessment of Airborne Fine Particles with Uncertainty Quantification via Monte Carlo Simulation
AN  - 1654688988; PQ0001052568
AB  - Background: Exposure to air pollution is associated with a short-term increase in mortality, and this field has begun to focus on health impact assessment. Objectives: Our aim was to estimate the impact of PM10 on mortality within 2 days from the exposure in the Italian region of Lombardy for the year 2007, at the municipality level, examining exposure entailed by daily intermunicipality commuting and accounting for uncertainty propagation. Methods: We combined data from different sources to derive probabilistic distributions for all input quantities used to calculate attributable deaths (mortality rates, PM10 concentrations, estimated PM10 effects, and commuting flows) and applied a Monte Carlo procedure to propagate uncertainty and sample the distribution of attributable deaths for each municipality. Results: We estimated that annual average PM10 concentrations above the World Health Organization-recommended threshold of 20 mu g/m3 were responsible for 865 short-term deaths (80% credibility interval: 475, 1,401), 26% of which were attributable to PM10 above the European Union limit of 40 mu g/m3. Reducing annual average PM10 concentrations > 20 mu g/m3 by 20% would have reduced the number of attributable deaths by 36%. The largest estimated impacts were along the basin of the Po River and in the largest cities. Commuting contributed to the spatial distribution of the estimated impact. Conclusions: Our estimates, which incorporated uncertainty quantification, indicate that the short-term impact of PM10 on mortality in Lombardy in 2007 was notable, and that reduction in air pollution would have had a substantial beneficial effect on population health. Using commuting data helped to identify critical areas for prioritizing intervention. Citation: Baccini M, Grisotto L, Catelan D, Consonni D, Bertazzi PA, Biggeri A. 2015.

T1  - Gene-Specific Differential DNA Methylation and Chronic Arsenic Exposure in an Epigenome-Wide Association Study of Adults in Bangladesh
AN  - 1654688532; PQ0001052569
AB  - Background: Inorganic arsenic is one of the most common naturally occurring contaminants found in the environment. Arsenic is associated with a number of health outcomes, with epigenetic modification suggested as a potential mechanism of toxicity. Objective: Among a sample of 400 adult participants, we evaluated the association between arsenic exposure, as measured by blood and urinary total arsenic concentrations, and epigenome-wide white blood cell DNA methylation. Methods: We used linear regression models to examine the associations between arsenic exposure and methylation at each CpG site, adjusted for sex, age, and batch. Differentially methylated loci were subsequently examined in relation to corresponding gene expression for functional evidence of gene regulation. Results: In adjusted analyses, we observed four differentially methylated CpG sites with urinary total arsenic concentration and three differentially methylated CpG sites with blood arsenic concentration, based on the Bonferroni-corrected significance threshold of p < 1 x 10 super(-7). Methylation of PLA2G2C (probe cg04605617) was the most significantly associated locus in relation to both urinary (p = 3.40 x 10 super(-11)) and blood arsenic concentrations (p = 1.48 x 10 super(-11)). Three additional novel methylation loci-SQSTM1 (cg01225779), SLC4A4 (cg06121226), and IGH (cg13651690)-were also significantly associated with arsenic exposure. Further, there was evidence of methylation-related gene regulation based on gene expression for a subset of differentially methylated loci. Conclusions: We observed significant associations between arsenic exposure and gene-specific differential white blood cell DNA methylation, suggesting that epigenetic modifications may be an important pathway underlying arsenic toxicity. The specific differentially methylated loci identified may inform potential pathways for future interventions.

T1  - Al Qaeda-Affiliated Groups: Middle East and Africa
AN  - 1761660319; 2011-905321
AB  - After more than a decade of combating Al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan, the US now faces an increasingly diverse threat from Al Qaeda affiliates in the Middle East and Africa and from emerging groups that have adopted aspects of Al Qaeda's ideology but operate relatively or completely autonomously from the group's senior leadership. In addition to the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF), Congress has addressed the emergence of Al Qaeda affiliates through a number of channels. This report profiles Al Qaeda affiliates and a selection of other groups such as the Islamic State and Boko Haram. Tables, Figures, Appendixes.

T1  - Indoor Environmental Exposures and Exacerbation of Asthma: An Update to the 2000 Review by the Institute of Medicine
AN  - 1654685953; PQ0001052562
AB  - Background: Previous research has found relationships between specific indoor environmental exposures and exacerbation of asthma. Objectives: In this review we provide an updated summary of knowledge from the scientific literature on indoor exposures and exacerbation of asthma. Methods: Peer-reviewed articles published from 2000 to 2013 on indoor exposures and exacerbation of asthma were identified through PubMed, from reference lists, and from authors' files. Articles that focused on modifiable indoor exposures in relation to frequency or severity of exacerbation of asthma were selected for review. Research findings were reviewed and summarized with consideration of the strength of the evidence. Results: Sixty-nine eligible articles were included. Major changed conclusions include a causal relationship with exacerbation for indoor dampness or dampness-related agents (in children); associations with exacerbation for dampness or dampness-related agents (in adults), endotoxin, and environmental tobacco smoke (in preschool children); and limited or suggestive evidence for association with exacerbation for indoor culturable Penicillium or total fungi, nitrogen dioxide, rodents (nonoccupational), feather/down pillows (protective relative to synthetic bedding), and (regardless of specific sensitization) dust mite, cockroach, dog, and dampness-related agents. Discussion: This review, incorporating evidence reported since 2000, increases the strength of evidence linking many indoor factors to the exacerbation of asthma. Conclusions should be considered provisional until all available evidence is examined more thoroughly. Conclusion: Multiple indoor exposures, especially dampness-related agents, merit increased attention to prevent exacerbation of asthma, possibly even in nonsensitized individuals. Additional research to establish causality and evaluate interventions is needed for these and other indoor exposures.

T1  - Profiling of the Tox21 Chemical Collection for Mitochondrial Function to Identify Compounds that Acutely Decrease Mitochondrial Membrane Potential
AN  - 1654685937; PQ0001052561
AB  - Background: Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in the pathogenesis of a variety of disorders including cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases. Understanding whether different environmental chemicals and druglike molecules impact mitochondrial function represents an initial step in predicting exposure-related toxicity and defining a possible role for such compounds in the onset of various diseases. Objectives: We sought to identify individual chemicals and general structural features associated with changes in mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). Methods: We used a multiplexed [two end points in one screen; MMP and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content] quantitative high throughput screening (qHTS) approach combined with informatics tools to screen the Tox21 library of 10,000 compounds (~ 8,300 unique chemicals) at 15 concentrations each in triplicate to identify chemicals and structural features that are associated with changes in MMP in HepG2 cells. Results: Approximately 11% of the compounds (913 unique compounds) decreased MMP after 1 hr of treatment without affecting cell viability (ATP content). In addition, 309 compounds decreased MMP over a concentration range that also produced measurable cytotoxicity [half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) in MMP assay/IC50 in viability assay less than or equal to 3; p < 0.05]. More than 11% of the structural clusters that constitute the Tox21 library (76 of 651 clusters) were significantly enriched for compounds that decreased the MMP. Conclusions: Our multiplexed qHTS approach allowed us to generate a robust and reliable data set to evaluate the ability of thousands of drugs and environmental compounds to decrease MMP. The use of structure-based clustering analysis allowed us to identify molecular features that are likely responsible for the observed activity.

T1  - Prenatal Exposure to Phthalate Esters and Behavioral Syndromes in Children at 8 Years of Age: Taiwan Maternal and Infant Cohort Study
AN  - 1654686275; PQ0001052574
AB  - Background: Few studies have shown an association between prenatal phthalate exposure and adverse effects on neurodevelopment and behavior in young children. Objectives: We aimed to assess the relationship between prenatal exposure to phthalate esters and behavior syndromes in children at 8 years of age. Methods: A total of 122 mother-child pairs from the general population in central Taiwan were studied from 2000 to 2009. Mono-methyl phthalate (MMP), mono-ethyl phthalate (MEP), mono-butyl phthalate (MBP), mono-benzyl phthalate (MBzP), and three di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) metabolites-mono-2-ethylhexyl, mono-2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl, and mono-2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl phthalates (MEHP, MEHHP, and MEOHP)-were measured in maternal urine collected during the third trimester of pregnancy using liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry. Behavioral syndromes of children at 8 years of age were evaluated using the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Associations between log10-transformed creatinine-corrected phthalate concentrations and standardized scores of the CBCL were estimated using linear regression models or multinomial logistic regressions with adjustments for potential confounders. Results: Externalizing problem scores were significantly higher in association with a 1-unit increase in log10-transformed creatinine-corrected concentrations of maternal MBP ( beta = 4.29; 95% CI: 0.59, 7.99), MEOHP ( beta = 3.74; 95% CI: 1.33, 6.15), and MEHP ( beta = 4.28 ; 95% CI: 0.03, 8.26) after adjusting for the child's sex, intelligence, and family income. Meanwhile, MBP and MEOHP were significantly associated with Delinquent Behavior and Aggressive Behavior scores. The same pattern was found for borderline and/or clinical ranges. Conclusions: Our findings suggest positive associations between maternal DEHP and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) exposure and externalizing domain behavior problems in 8-year-old children.

T1  - Driving construction contractors to adopt carbon reduction strategies - an Australian approach
AN  - 1547845123; 20307435
AB  - This paper reports a study that examines the effect of some key drivers on the construction contractors' adoption of carbon reduction strategies. An industry survey was conducted in Victoria, Australia, for data collection. Interviews with industry experts were conducted to validate the survey findings. The results indicate that most carbon reduction strategies are not being adopted in construction projects. Such findings are in line with scholars' comments on the construction contractors as being apathetic to reduce carbon emissions. The findings further suggested levies on carbon emissions, rewarding schemes and training and education as the effective drivers of carbon reduction. This study contributes to a deeper understanding about driving contractors' behavioural change to achieve carbon reduction. This provides valuable insights into devising pragmatic measures to reduce carbon emissions in projects.

T1  - Identifying operational mechanisms for mainstreaming community-based adaptation in Nepal
AN  - 1642620629; 21188225
AB  - Mainstreaming is a feasible and viable option for scaling up initiatives on community-based adaptation (CBA) to climate change. However, there is little evidence on how to get CBA mainstreaming feasible and to work effectively. This paper aims to investigate two major questions: (1) what kind of policies favour mainstreaming CBA; and (2) what kinds of approaches or practices are required to operationalize CBA mainstreaming in the case of Nepal? The field research for this paper was conducted in the Dhading, Nawalparasi and Pyuthan districts of Nepal. The research used a mix of approaches and methods for data generation and analysis. The findings reveal that policies to operationalize CBA mainstreaming should build on past policy successes and include community-centric provisions that empower local institutions and encourage them to practice inclusive decision-making and benefit-sharing mechanisms. One lesson from this analysis of the practices of mainstreaming in Nepal is that an integrated co-management approach to mainstreaming is necessary to overcome the barriers related to knowledge, finance and technology. It is concluded that the operational mechanisms of mainstreaming CBA in development should have an inclusive local structure and be responsive to national policies and governance arrangements.

T1  - Patterns and trends in Australian agriculture: a consistent set of agricultural statistics at small areas for analysing regional changes
AN  - 1611633602; 20760127
AB  - ABARES has produced a consistent set of agricultural statistics at scales smaller than Australian States for the period 1982-83 to 2008-09. Every year is available at Statistical Division level, but only the census years of 1986, 1991, 1996, 2001 and 2006 are available at Statistical Local Area level. Although based on statistics collected by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, they are less accurate because of compromises in concording the data to the Australian Standard Geographical Classification spatial boundaries for 1996, 2001 and 2006 and to a common set of agricultural items. However, they provide comprehensive agricultural data for recent time series at scales smaller than states. From this data set, we give some examples of patterns and trends, which indicate considerable regional variation in Australia over time between major industries.

T1  - Improving the optimization solution for a semi-analytical shallow water inversion model in the presence of spectrally correlated noise
AN  - 1780518558; PQ0002826679
AB  - In coastal regions, shallow water semi-analytical inversion algorithms may be used to derive geophysical parameters such as inherent optical properties (IOPs), water column depth, and bottom albedo coefficients by inverting sensor-derived sub-surface remote sensing reflectance, r sub(rs). The uncertainties of these derived geophysical parameters due to instrumental and environmental noise can be estimated numerically via the addition of spectral noise to the sensor-derived r sub(rs) before inversion. Repeating this process multiple times allows the calculation of the standard error and average for each derived parameter. Apart from spectral non-uniqueness, the optimization algorithm employed in the inversion must converge onto a single minimum to obtain a true representation of the uncertainty for a given set of noise-perturbed r sub(rs). Failure to do so inflates the uncertainty and affects the average retrieved value (accuracy). We show that the standard approach of seeding the optimization with an arbitrary, fixed initial guess, can lead to the convergence to multiple minima, each having substantially different centroids in multi-parameter solution space. We present the Update-Repeat Levenberg-Marquardt (UR-LM) and Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) routines that dynamically search the solution space for an optimal initial guess, that when applied to the optimization allows convergence to the best local minimum. We apply the UR-LM and LHS methods on HICO-derived and simulated r sub(rs) and demonstrate the improved computational efficiency, precision, and accuracy afforded from these methods compared with the standard approach. Conceptually, these methods are applicable to remote sensing based, shallow water or oceanic semi-analytical inversion algorithms requiring nonlinear least squares optimization.

T1  - Impacts of unconventional gas development on rural community decline
AN  - 1738476592; 201538676
AB  - This paper looks at the impact of a new extractive industry, namely unconventional natural gas, on rural decline. Rural decline is defined as comprising loss of rural youth, reduced human capital and increasing rural poverty. Since the start of the current century, the unconventional natural gas industry has been expanding around the world, often in close proximity to pre-existing agricultural communities. The social impacts of this new industry represent a growing area of interest in rural studies. We contribute to this new research area through a case study of coal seam gas (CSG) development in Queensland, Australia, comparing regions where gas development occurred between 2001 and 2011 against a control group of similar regions without gas development. The study eliminated the influence of non-resident workforces by analysing census data based on place of usual residence as well as place of enumeration. A key finding of the study is that regions with CSG development have experienced a growing youth share of the population and, of particular note, a growing female youth share of the population. CSG regions had a higher proportion of youth with university degrees and advanced technical training compared to other rural regions. Poverty reduction was also observed in some specific CSG regions. The extensive spatial footprint of unconventional gas and increased female rural youth populations indicate a diversion from traditional boomtown social impacts observed in previous energy booms. Taken together, the results show signs of mitigating and reversing rural community decline. [Copyright Elsevier Ltd.]

T1  - Eating out is associated with self-reported food poisoning: a Western Australia population perspective, 1998 to 2009
AN  - 1732832525; PQ0002105356
AB  - To explore factors associated with self-reported food poisoning among Western Australian adults between 1998 and 2009. Data were pooled from four Nutrition Monitoring Surveys Series which included information on suspected food poisoning among Western Australian adults. Descriptive statistics and multinomial regression analyses were used to describe factors associated with self-reported food poisoning, food safety knowledge and behaviours. Population of Western Australia estimated to be 2.5 million in 2009. A representative sample of 4494 adults aged between 18 and 64 years. There was no significant change in self-reported food poisoning over time, with about 18 % saying they had suspected food poisoning in the last 6 months. Overall, 2.1 % said they had confirmed their food-borne illness with a nurse of doctor. People less than 34 years old, those with a university degree and people who ate meals out on the day prior to the survey (one meal: OR = 1.30, 95 % CI 1.04, 1.62; two meals: OR = 2.21, 95 % CI 1.30, 3.76) were the most likely to report food poisoning. Younger people were also more likely to have their food poisoning confirmed by a health professional. Use of refrigerator thermometers and cool bags for storing food increased significantly between 2004 and 2009. Findings support the inclusion of food safety advice in dietary recommendations. Food safety and handling education and training is recommended for food businesses, particularly the takeaway food sector, and for consumers. Because food poisoning is reported more often by younger people, food safety education should begin during childhood.

T1  - From inertia to innovation: Information-based organizations in the Age of Intelligence
AN  - 1718055144; 201507546
AB  - As the Information Age has given rise to the Intelligence Age, institutions of all kinds are challenged to adopt a culture of constant innovation. Innovation is the broad term and includes the concepts of invention, ingenuity, and improvisation. Organizations go through a process of inquiry, instigation, insight, initiation, imagination and inspiration, and inlightenment to ultimately achieve innovation. However, the road to full innovation offers many options like creating an incubator or being iterative, instantaneous, incomplete, or infectious in approach to innovating. To begin the innovative process, organizations must be willing to look at all aspects of their operations, make long-term commitments to funding, accept the possibility of some failure, and look seriously at their missions, value systems and value propositions. Organizations that are insular, inflexible, in-bred, insincere about innovating, insecure in their ability to deliver, and operate independently are more likely to disappear or diminish in their influence because their environment and culture will not sustain innovation.

T1  - Intake of thickened liquids by hospitalized adults with dysphagia after stroke
AN  - 1700660638; 201509095
AB  - There is widespread concern that individuals with dysphagia as a result of stroke do not drink enough fluids when they are prescribed thickened liquids. This paper details a retrospective audit of thickened liquid consumption of 69 individuals with dysphagia following stroke in acute and rehabilitation hospitals in Adelaide, South Australia. Hospitalized individuals with dysphagia following stroke drank a mean of 781 ml (SD = 507 ml) of prescribed thickened liquids per day, significantly less in the acute setting (M = 519 ml, SD = 305 ml) than in the rehabilitation setting (M = 1274 ml, SD = 442 ml) (t(67) = -8.34, p < .001). This daily intake of thickened liquids was lower than recommended standards of fluid intake for hospitalized adults. Fluid intake could be increased with definitive protocols for the provision and monitoring of consumption of thickened liquids, by offering more fluid via food or free water protocols or by routine use of non-oral supplementary routes. Future research into the effectiveness of such recommendations needs to evaluate not only the impact on fluid intake but also on health outcomes. Adapted from the source document

T1  - Belly Dance as an Embodying Activity?: A Test of the Embodiment Model of Positive Body Image
AN  - 1680152764; 201517831
AB  - The study aimed to test Menzel and Levine's (2011) embodiment theory of positive body image in the context of belly dance. Participants were 213 women from Adelaide, South Australia. They comprised 112 belly dancers recruited from two belly dance schools, and a sample of 101 college women who had never participated in belly dance. Participants completed questionnaire measures of positive body image, body dissatisfaction, self-objectification, and enjoyment of sexualization. It was found that belly dancers scored higher on positive body image and lower on body dissatisfaction and self-objectification than the college students. There was, however, no difference between groups in enjoyment of sexualization. Importantly, in support of the embodiment model, the effect of belly dance group on positive body image was mediated by reduced self-objectification. It was concluded that belly dance represents an embodying activity, one associated with a number of benefits for its practioners, including positive body image. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Chlamydia Prevalence and Associated Behaviours Among Female Sex Workers in Vanuatu: Results from an Integrated Bio-behavioural Survey, 2011
AN  - 1680149920; 201503145
AB  - There is insufficient data on sexually transmitted infections (STI) and related behaviours among key populations, including female sex workers (FSW), in the Pacific region. Using respondent driven sampling, we conducted an integrated bio-behavioural survey with FSW in Vanuatu (aged >=18 years) to investigate risk behaviours associations with Chlamydia trachomatis (CT). Weighted population estimates and correlates of CT infection were calculated. Among 149 FSW, prevalence of CT was 36 % (95 % CI 26-48 %). Few FSW reported consistent condom use with recent transactional sex partners (TSP) (8 %; 95 % CI 2-13 %). CT infection was positively associated with increasing number of TSP (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 1.1; 95 % CI 1.0-1.2) and group sex (AOR 2.9; 95 % CI 1.1-8.2). CT was negatively associated with increasing age of first sex (AOR 0.6; 95 % CI 0.5-0.9) and previous STI treatment (AOR 0.1; 95 % CI 0.0-0.4). A comprehensive public health strategy for prevention and treatment of STI among FSW, incorporating community empowerment strategies, FSW-targeted health services and periodic presumptive treatment, is urgently needed in Vanuatu.

T1  - Impact of various physico-chemical parameters on spontaneous nucleation of struvite (MgNH sub(4)PO sub(4).H sub(2)O) formation in a wastewater treatment plant: kinetic and nucleation mechanism
AN  - 1647002509; 21141313
AB  - In this study, the effect of various physico-chemical parameters such as supersaturation, temperature and pH, and the presence of foreign ion on the nucleation of struvite formation in a wastewater treatment plant were studied experimentally. Mechanism of nucleation kinetics of struvite (MgNH sub(4)PO sub(4).6H sub(2)O) formation has been identified by thermodynamic parameters study. The time taken for nucleation to occur (often indicated by the induction time) is a measure of struvite nucleation. It was found that induction time decreased with an increase in supersaturation, temperature and pH but increased with the presence of excess chloride (Cl- ion. Interfacial energy of two nucleation mechanisms ( gamma sub(s,hom) and gamma sub(s,het)), homogeneous and heterogeneous, increased with an increase in solution pH for all temperatures whereas interfacial energy of crystals increased with decrease in temperature. Thermodynamic parameters such as activation energy and interfacial energy were calculated based on rate of nucleation for both homogeneous and heterogeneous crystallisation. Finally, inhabitation of struvite nucleation by presence of foreign ion has been reported here.

T1  - Insights from archaeological analysis and interpretation of marine data sets to inform marine cultural heritage management and planning of wave and tidal energy development for Orkney Waters and the Pentland Firth, NE Scotland
AN  - 1635036241; 21048068
AB  - The Orkney archipelago has a rich heritage that includes the Heart of Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site, Viking settlements, harbours supplying Hudson's Bay Company ships, and the wartime naval base of Scapa Flow. This rich history has left its mark on the seabed but accurate maps showing the location and character of surviving seabed archaeology do not exist to the same extent as for archaeology on land. ORCA Marine was commissioned by Historic Scotland to work with the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland in interrogating marine data sets to enhance historic environment records of Orkney Waters and the Pentland Firth. These waters were prioritised for their history of maritime activity and to help guide planning and developments in an area highlighted by the Scottish Government for marine renewable energy. A variety of recent and legacy datasets, including wreck databases; sonar data gathered by public sector bodies; aerial photography; seabed cores; Admiralty charts; and local knowledge, were examined for their effectiveness in discovering and interpreting marine cultural heritage cost-effectively. A methodology was developed that enabled marine cultural heritage information to be quickly assimilated within the national and regional inventories for dissemination online. Polygonisation of records resulted in GIS-based shapefiles identifying site extents, and areas of archaeological potential in relation to wrecks, submerged prehistoric landscapes, anchorages and fishing areas. Substantial gaps in data coverage were identified and areas of the seabed have been surveyed at resolutions that are sufficient to detect large upstanding remains such as iron shipwrecks but insufficient to identify smaller archaeological features. Other geophysical datasets have been created at a resolution detailed enough to allow the recognition of smaller anomalies but in some cases processing of the data has removed small anomalies of interest to archaeologists. Intensively used marine areas often contain the most artefactual remains such as historic ports being developed to service the marine renewable industry. Zones of high wave and tidal energy favoured for renewable energy devices include navigation channels and hazards where a large number of wrecks are documented. Transmission cable routes cross deep water where 20th-century wartime losses occurred. Planning and development of infrastructure relating to renewables may also interact with significant built heritage and archaeology on the foreshore and coast edge.

T1  - The effect of pasture utilization rate on stocks of soil organic carbon and total nitrogen in a semi-arid tropical grassland
AN  - 1635025840; 21047262
AB  - The influence of grazing management on total soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil total nitrogen (TN) in tropical grasslands is an issue of considerable ecological and economic interest. Here we have used linear mixed models to investigate the effect of grazing management on stocks of SOC and TN in the top 0.5m of the soil profile. The study site was a long-term pasture utilization experiment, 26 years after the experiment was established for sheep grazing on native Mitchell grass (Astrebla spp.) pasture in northern Australia. The pasture utilization rates were between 0% (exclosure) and 80%, assessed visually. We found that a significant amount of TN had been lost from the top 0.1m of the soil profile as a result of grazing, with 80% pasture utilization resulting in a loss of 84kgha-1 over the 26-year period. There was no significant effect of pasture utilization rate on TN when greater soil depths were considered. There was no significant effect of pasture utilization rate on stocks of SOC and soil particulate organic carbon (POC), or the C:N ratio at any depth; however, visual trends in the data suggested some agreement with the literature, whereby increased grazing pressure appeared to: (i) decrease SOC and POC stocks; and, (ii) increase the C:N ratio. Overall, the statistical power of the study was limited, and future research would benefit from a more comprehensive sampling scheme. Previous studies at the site have found that a pasture utilization rate of 30% is sustainable for grazing production on Mitchell grass; however, given our results, we conclude that N inputs (possibly through management of native N2-fixing pasture legumes) should be made for long-term maintenance of soil health, and pasture productivity, within this ecosystem.

T1  - Restoring Early-Successional Shrubland Habitat for Black-Capped Vireos using Mechanical Mastication
AN  - 1627969965; 20927913
AB  - Disturbance-dependent shrublands and the birds that nest in them are declining due to factors that include fire suppression and tree encroachment. Mechanical treatments are often used to decrease the threat of wildfire in sensitive areas, such as the wildland-urban interface, and could be used for restoration. We evaluated the use of mechanical mastication (also called mulching or chipping) to restore early-successional structure to oak-dominated shrublands in Texas, which provide nesting habitat for the endangered black-capped vireo (Vireo atricapilla Woodhouse). After mastication, overall vegetation height remained low for at least four growing seasons (pretreatment: 2.9 plus or minus 0.1 m, mean plus or minus SE; year 4: 1.1 plus or minus 0.1 m). Canopy-sized Ashe juniper (Juniperus ashei Buchholz) was eliminated by mastication for the duration of the study, but other woody species remained abundant, maintaining vegetation density below 1 m. Black-capped vireos foraged in the masticated areas during the first and second breeding seasons after treatment, and started nesting in them during the third breeding season. By the fourth breeding season, breeding pairs were more than twice as abundant as before mastication (mean of 8.7 vs. 3.7 territories) and nests were farther from existing trails (mean plus or minus SE of 39.9 plus or minus 8.2 m vs. 18.4 plus or minus 3.5 m), indicating that the birds were using more of the available space for breeding. We did not find a difference in the probability of nests in masticated areas surviving over the 28-day period from egg laying to fledging compared to nests from other areas (95% CI 0.28-0.62 and 0.18-0.47, respectively). Mastication is an effective substitute for prescribed fire to restore early-successional structure in shrublands dominated by resprouting woody plants and can also provide short-term control of nonsprouting species.

T1  - ENSO, the IOD and the intraseasonal prediction of heat extremes across Australia using POAMA-2
AN  - 1611635757; 20793442
AB  - The simulation and prediction of extreme heat over Australia on intraseasonal timescales in association with the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) is assessed using the Bureau of Meteorology's Predictive Ocean Atmosphere Model for Australia (POAMA). The analysis is based on hindcasts over 1981-2010 and focuses on weeks 2 and 3 of the forecasts, i.e. beyond a typical weather forecast. POAMA simulates the observed increased probabilities of extreme heat during El Nino events, focussed over south eastern and southern Australia in SON and over northern Australia in DJF, and the decreased probabilities of extreme heat during La Nina events, although the magnitude of these relationships is smaller than observed. POAMA also captures the signal of increased probabilities of extreme heat during positive phases of the IOD across southern Australia in SON and over Western Australia in JJA, but again underestimates the strength of the relationship. Shortcomings in the simulation of extreme heat in association with ENSO and the IOD over southern Australia may be linked to deficiencies in the teleconnection with Indian Ocean SSTs. Forecast skill for intraseasonal episodes of extreme heat is assessed using the Symmetric Extremal Dependence Index. Skill is highest over northern Australia in MAM and JJA and over south-eastern and eastern Australia in JJA and SON, whereas skill is generally poor over south-west Western Australia. Results show there are windows of forecast opportunity related to the state of ENSO and the IOD, where the skill in predicting extreme temperatures over certain regions is increased.

T1  - Seasonal prediction of global sea level anomalies using an ocean-atmosphere dynamical model
AN  - 1611633931; 20793464
AB  - Advanced warning of extreme sea level events is an invaluable tool for coastal communities, allowing the implementation of management policies and strategies to minimise loss of life and infrastructure damage. This study is an initial attempt to apply a dynamical coupled ocean-atmosphere model to the prediction of seasonal sea level anomalies (SLA) globally for up to 7 months in advance. We assess the ability of the Australian Bureau of Meteorology's operational seasonal dynamical forecast system, the Predictive Ocean Atmosphere Model for Australia (POAMA), to predict seasonal SLA, using gridded satellite altimeter observation-based analyses over the period 1993-2010 and model reanalysis over 1981-2010. Hindcasts from POAMA are based on a 33-member ensemble of seasonal forecasts that are initialised once per month for the period 1981-2010. Our results show POAMA demonstrates high skill in the equatorial Pacific basin and consistently exhibits more skill globally than a forecast based on persistence. Model predictability estimates indicate there is scope for improvement in the higher latitudes and in the Atlantic and Southern Oceans. Most characteristics of the asymmetric SLA fields generated by El-Nino/La Nina events are well represented by POAMA, although the forecast amplitude weakens with increasing lead-time.

T1  - Decline in perfluorooctane sulfonate and perfluorooctanoate serum concentrations in an Australian population from 2002 to 2011.
AN  - 1551327835; 24980755
AB  - Some perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have become widespread pollutants detected in human and wildlife samples worldwide. The main objective of this study was to assess temporal trends of PFAS concentrations in human blood in Australia over the last decade (2002-2011), taking into consideration age and sex trends. Pooled human sera from 2002/03 (n=26); 2008/09 (n=24) and 2010/11 (n=24) from South East Queensland, Australia were obtained from de-identified surplus pathology samples and compared with samples collected previously from 2006/07 (n=84). A total of 9775 samples in 158 pools were available for an assessment of PFASs. Stratification criteria included sex and age: 60 years (all collection periods). Sera were analyzed using on-line solid-phase extraction coupled to high-performance liquid chromatography-isotope dilution-tandem mass spectrometry. Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) was detected in the highest concentrations ranging from 5.3-19.2 ng/ml (2008/09) to 4.4-17.4 ng/ml (2010/11). Perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) was detected in the next highest concentration ranging from 2.8-7.3 ng/ml (2008/09) to 3.1-6.5 ng/ml (2010/11). All other measured PFASs were detected at concentrations <1 ng/ml with the exception of perfluorohexane sulfonate which ranged from 1.2-5.7 ng/ml (08/09) and 1.4-5.4 ng/ml (10/11). The mean concentrations of both PFOS and PFOA in the 2010/11 period compared to 2002/03 were lower for all adult age groups by 56%. For 5-15 year olds, the decrease was 66% (PFOS) and 63% (PFOA) from 2002/03 to 2010/11. For 0-4 year olds the decrease from 2006/07 (when data were first available for this age group) was 50% (PFOS) and 22% (PFOA). This study provides strong evidence for decreasing serum PFOS and PFOA concentrations in an Australian population from 2002 through 2011. Age trends were variable and concentrations were higher in males than in females. Global use has been in decline since around 2002 and hence primary exposure levels are expected to be decreasing. Further biomonitoring will allow assessment of PFAS exposures to confirm trends in exposure as primary and eventually secondary sources are depleted.

T1  - Australian net (1950s-1990) soil organic carbon erosion: implications for CO sub(2) emission and land-atmosphere modelling
AN  - 1618152074; 20846488
AB  - The debate remains unresolved about soil erosion substantially offsetting fossil fuel emissions and acting as an important source or sink of CO sub(2). There is little historical land use and management context to this debate, which is central to Australia's recent past of European settlement, agricultural expansion and agriculturally-induced soil erosion. We use "catchment" scale ( similar to 25 km super(2)) estimates of super(137)Cs-derived net (1950s-1990) soil redistribution of all processes (wind, water and tillage) to calculate the net soil organic carbon (SOC) redistribution across Australia. We approximate the selective removal of SOC at net eroding locations and SOC enrichment of transported sediment and net depositional locations. We map net (1950s-1990) SOC redistribution across Australia and estimate erosion by all processes to be similar to 4 Tg SOC yr super(-1), which represents a loss of similar to 2% of the total carbon stock (0-10 cm) of Australia. Assuming this net SOC loss is mineralised, the flux ( similar to 15 Tg CO sub(2)-equivalents yr super(-1)) represents an omitted 12% of CO sub(2)-equivalent emissions from all carbon pools in Australia. Although a small source of uncertainty in the Australian carbon budget, the mass flux interacts with energy and water fluxes, and its omission from land surface models likely creates more uncertainty than has been previously recognised.

T1  - Structural and Functional Profiling of Environmental Ligands for Estrogen Receptors
AN  - 1642630058; 21201996
AB  - Background: Individuals are exposed daily to environmental pollutants that may act as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), causing a range of developmental, reproductive, metabolic, or neoplastic diseases. With their mostly hydrophobic pocket that serves as a docking site for endogenous and exogenous ligands, nuclear receptors (NRs) can be primary targets of small molecule environmental contaminants. However, most of these compounds are chemically unrelated to natural hormones, so their binding modes and associated hormonal activities are hardly predictable. Objectives: We conducted a correlative analysis of structural and functional data to gain insight into the mechanisms by which 12 members of representative families of pollutants bind to and activate the estrogen receptors ER alpha and ER beta . Methods: We used a battery of biochemical, structural, biophysical, and cell-based approaches to characterize the interaction between ERs and their environmental ligands. Results: Our study revealed that the chemically diverse compounds bound to ERs via varied sets of protein-ligand interactions, reflecting their differential activities, binding affinities, and specificities. We observed xenoestrogens binding to both ERs-with affinities ranging from subnanomolar to micromolar values-and acting in a subtype-dependent fashion as full agonists or partial agonists/antagonists by using different combinations of the activation functions 1 and 2 of ER alpha and ER beta . Conclusions: The precise characterization of the interactions between major environmental pollutants and two of their primary biological targets provides rational guidelines for the design of safer chemicals, and will increase the accuracy and usefulness of structure-based computational methods, allowing for activity prediction of chemicals in risk assessment.

T1  - Neurobehavioral Function in School-Age Children Exposed to Manganese in Drinking Water
AN  - 1642627621; 21201998
AB  - Background: Manganese neurotoxicity is well documented in individuals occupationally exposed to airborne particulates, but few data are available on risks from drinking-water exposure. Objective: We examined associations of exposure from concentrations of manganese in water and hair with memory, attention, motor function, and parent- and teacher-reported hyperactive behaviors. Methods: We recruited 375 children and measured manganese in home tap water (MnW) and hair (MnH). We estimated manganese intake from water ingestion. Using structural equation modeling, we estimated associations between neurobehavioral functions and MnH, MnW, and manganese intake from water. We evaluated exposure-response relationships using generalized additive models. Results: After adjusting for potential confounders, a 1-SD increase in log10 MnH was associated with a significant difference of -24% (95% CI: -36, -12%) SD in memory and -25% (95% CI: -41, -9%) SD in attention. The relations between log10 MnH and poorer memory and attention were linear. A 1-SD increase in log10 MnW was associated with a significant difference of -14% (95% CI: -24, -4%) SD in memory, and this relation was nonlinear, with a steeper decline in performance at MnW > 100 mu g/L. A 1-SD increase in log10 manganese intake from water was associated with a significant difference of -11% (95% CI: -21, -0.4%) SD in motor function. The relation between log10 manganese intake and poorer motor function was linear. There was no significant association between manganese exposure and hyperactivity. Conclusion: Exposure to manganese in water was associated with poorer neurobehavioral performances in children, even at low levels commonly encountered in North America.

T1  - Modeled PFOA Exposure and Coronary Artery Disease, Hypertension, and High Cholesterol in Community and Worker Cohorts
AN  - 1642627389; 21201995
AB  - Background: Several previous studies, mostly cross-sectional, have found associations between perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and high cholesterol levels, but studies of hypertension and heart disease have had inconsistent findings. Objectives: In this study we examined the association between modeled PFOA exposure and incident hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and coronary artery disease among workers at a Mid-Ohio Valley chemical plant that used PFOA, and residents of the surrounding community. Methods: Community- and worker-cohort participants completed surveys during 2008-2011 covering demographics, health-related behaviors, and medical history. Cox proportional hazard models, stratified by birth year, modeled the hazard of each outcome (starting at 20 years of age) as a function of retrospective serum PFOA concentration estimates (generated through fate, transport and exposure modeling), controlling for sex, race, education, smoking, alcohol use, body mass index, and diabetes. Results: Among 32,254 participants (28,541 community; 3,713 worker), 12,325 reported hypertension with medication, 9,909 reported hypercholesterolemia with medication, and 3,147 reported coronary artery disease (2,550 validated). Hypercholesterolemia incidence increased with increasing cumulative PFOA exposure (sum of yearly serum concentration estimates), most notably among males 40-60 years of age. Compared with the lowest exposure quintile (< 142 ng/mL-years), hazard ratios for subsequent quintiles (ng/mL-years: 142 to < 234; 234 to < 630; 630 to < 3,579; greater than or equal to 3,579) were 1.24, 1.17, 1.19, and 1.19 overall and 1.38, 1.32, 1.31, and 1.44 among men 40-60 years of age. There was no apparent association between PFOA exposure and hypertension or coronary artery disease incidence. Conclusions: Higher PFOA exposure was associated with incident hypercholesterolemia with medication, but not with hypertension or coronary artery disease. Citation: Winquist A, Steenland K. 2014.

T1  - The Effect of Firm Bankruptcy on Retiree Benefits, with Applications to the Automotive and Coal Industries
AN  - 1641843540; 2011-760748
AB  - This report explores the protections of benefits awarded retirees and future retirees of bankrupt private-sector employers under current law. Although there are many types of employee benefits, active employees, retirees, and the employers themselves are often especially concerned with post-retirement pensions and health insurance benefits, usually the two largest components of these so-called legacy costs. This analysis provides examples from two industries of interest to Congress where competitive pressures resulted in changes in each sector's business outlook: automobiles and coal. Tables.

T1  - The U.S. Postal Service's Financial Condition: A Primer
AN  - 1641843264; 2011-760749
AB  - Since 1971, the US Postal Service (USPS) has been a self-supporting government agency that covers its operating costs with revenues generated through the sales of postage and related products and services. The USPS is experiencing significant financial challenges. After running modest profits from FY2003 through FY2006, the USPS lost 45.6 billion dollars between FY2007 and FY2013. Since FY2011, the USPS has defaulted on 16.7 billion dollars in payments to its Retiree Health Benefits Fund (RHBF). The agency reached its 15 billion dollars borrowing limit in FY2012 and did not reduce its total debt in FY2013. Tables, Figures.

T1  - Systemically Important or 'Too Big to Fail' Financial Institutions
AN  - 1641843813; 2011-760751
AB  - Although "too big to fail" (TBTF) has been a perennial policy issue, it was highlighted by the near-collapse of several large financial firms in 2008. In addition to fairness issues, economic theory suggests that expectations that a firm will not be allowed to fail create moral hazard -- if the creditors and counterparties of a TBTF firm believe that the government will protect them from losses, they have less incentive to monitor the firm's riskiness because they are shielded from the negative consequences of those risks. There are a number of policy approaches -- some complementary, some conflicting -- to coping with the TBTF problem. Tables, Appendixes.

AB  - A "lame duck" session of Congress is one that takes place after the election for the next Congress has been held, but before the current Congress has reached the end of its constitutional term. From 1935 through 2012, there were 19 lame duck sessions. The most recent one occurred at the end of the 112th Congress in 2012. This report examines only the specific lame duck sessions that have occurred since 1935, not those that, as explained in the following section, occurred routinely before then. Tables.

In the 113th Congress, H.R. 24, which passed the House on September 17, 2014, would remove statutory restrictions on GAO audits and require an audit. H.R. 5018 would require GAO audits and congressional testimony following monetary policy decisions under certain circumstances; mandate a blackout period surrounding monetary policy decisions; increase congressional testimony; require the Fed's public rulemaking to include cost-benefit analysis; and require the disclosure of information about stress tests, supervisory letters, international negotiations, and salary and personal investments for certain Fed officials.

AN  - 1641843493; 2011-760755
AB  - Omnibus US farm legislation -- referred to as the farm bill -- is renewed about every five years. Farm income and commodity price support programs have been a part of US farm bills since the 1930s. Each successive farm bill usually involves some modification or replacement of existing farm programs. A key question likely to be asked of every new farm proposal or program is how it will affect US commitments under the World Trade Organization's (WTO's) Agreement on Agriculture (AoA) and its Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (SCM).

AN  - 1641843258; 2011-760754
AB  - This year marks the 50th anniversary of the War on Poverty, but poverty remains a difficult policy challenge. The Obama Administration and some in Congress have offered proposals that seek to address poverty, with the proposals differing considerably in their focus and content; however, the themes reflected in these proposals echo prior efforts to address the issue of poverty. Federal policies affecting poverty are broader than a single program or set of programs. As federal antipoverty policy evolved -- and some approaches were adopted, while others were not -- certain overarching themes have recurred. Tables, Figures, Appendixes.

AB  - The individual states have been the primary regulators of insurance since 1868. Some believe the time may have come for Congress to reclaim the regulatory authority that it granted to the states. Among the insurance regulatory issues addressed by legislation in the 113th Congress are the application of federal orderly liquidation authority to insurers; the supervision of some insurers by the Federal Reserve; and the licensing of insurance agents and brokers. In addition, various international issues may be of concern to Congress. Tables, Appendixes.

AB  - The summer 2014 offensive in Iraq by the insurgent terrorist group, the Islamic State ([IS] or the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant [ISIL/ISIS]) has reshaped longstanding debates over US policy toward the three-year old conflict in Syria. The Islamic State controls large areas of northeastern Syria, where it continues to clash with forces opposed to and aligned with the government of Bashar al Asad. The US must decide how best to pursue new counterterrorism and regional security goals without strengthening the Syrian government relative to the opposition groups and civilians it has brutalized during the conflict.

T1  - Asthma in Inner-City Children at 5-11 Years of Age and Prenatal Exposure to Phthalates: The Columbia Center for Children's Environmental Health Cohort
AN  - 1622606828; 20889817
AB  - Background: Studies suggest that phthalate exposures may adversely affect child respiratory health. Objectives: We evaluated associations between asthma diagnosed in children between 5 and 11 years of age and prenatal exposures to butylbenzyl phthalate (BBzP), di-n-butyl phthalate (DnBP), di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), and diethyl phthalate (DEP). Methods: Phthalate metabolites were measured in spot urine collected from 300 pregnant inner-city women. Children were examined by an allergist or pulmonologist based on the first parental report of wheeze, other respiratory symptoms, and/or use of asthma rescue/controller medication in the preceding 12 months on repeat follow-up questionnaires. Standardized diagnostic criteria were used to classify these children as either having or not having current asthma at the time of the physician examination. Children without any report of wheeze or the other asthma-like symptoms were classified as nonasthmatics at the time of the last negative questionnaire. Modified Poisson regression analyses were used to estimate relative risks (RR) controlling for specific gravity and potential confounders. Results: Of 300 children, 154 (51%) were examined by a physician because of reports of wheeze, other asthma-like symptoms, and/or medication use; 94 were diagnosed with current asthma and 60 without current asthma. The remaining 146 children were classified as nonasthmatic. Compared with levels in nonasthmatics, prenatal metabolites of BBzP and DnBP were associated with a history of asthma-like symptoms (p  70% higher among children with maternal prenatal BBzP and DnBP metabolite concentrations in the third versus the first tertile. Conclusion: Prenatal exposure to BBzP and DnBP may increase the risk of asthma among inner-city children. However, because this is the first such finding, results require replication.

T1  - Child Welfare: An Overview of Federal Programs and Their Current Funding
AN  - 1641843718; 2011-760758
AB  - Child welfare services are intended to prevent the abuse or neglect of children; ensure that children have safe, permanent homes; and promote the well-being of children and their families. As the US Constitution has been interpreted, states bear the primary responsibility for ensuring the welfare of children and their families. In recent years, Congress has appropriated approximately 8 billion dollars in federal support dedicated to child welfare purposes. Most of those dollars (97%-98%) were provided to state, tribal, or territorial child welfare agencies (via formula grants or as federal reimbursement for a part of all eligible program costs).

T1  - Comparative Assessment of the Effects of Climate Change on Heat- and Cold-Related Mortality in the United Kingdom and Australia
AN  - 1642630158; 21201991
AB  - Background: High and low ambient temperatures are associated with increased mortality in temperate and subtropical climates. Temperature-related mortality patterns are expected to change throughout this century because of climate change. Objectives: We compared mortality associated with heat and cold in UK regions and Australian cities for current and projected climates and populations. Methods: Time-series regression analyses were carried out on daily mortality in relation to ambient temperatures for UK regions and Australian cities to estimate relative risk functions for heat and cold and variations in risk parameters by age. Excess deaths due to heat and cold were estimated for future climates. Results: In UK regions, cold-related mortality currently accounts for more than one order of magnitude more deaths than heat-related mortality (around 61 and 3 deaths per 100,000 population per year, respectively). In Australian cities, approximately 33 and 2 deaths per 100,000 population are associated every year with cold and heat, respectively. Although cold-related mortality is projected to decrease due to climate change to approximately 42 and 19 deaths per 100,000 population per year in UK regions and Australian cities, heat-related mortality is projected to increase to around 9 and 8 deaths per 100,000 population per year, respectively, by the 2080s, assuming no changes in susceptibility and structure of the population. Conclusions: Projected changes in climate are likely to lead to an increase in heat-related mortality in the United Kingdom and Australia over this century, but also to a decrease in cold-related deaths. Future temperature-related mortality will be amplified by aging populations. Health protection from hot weather will become increasingly necessary in both countries, while protection from cold weather will be still needed.

T1  - Common Core State Standards: Frequently Asked Questions
AN  - 1641843677; 2011-760759
AB  - This report addresses frequently asked questions related to the Common Core State Standards and federal involvement with the standards. Over the last two decades, there has been interest in developing federal policies that focus on student outcomes in elementary and secondary education. Perhaps most prominently, the enactment of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), which amended and reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), marked a dramatic expansion of the federal government's role in supporting standards-based instruction and test-based accountability, thereby increasing the federal government's involvement in decisions that directly affect teaching and learning.

AN  - 1641843325; 2011-760760
AB  - Congressional interest has focused on the efficient and effective management of federal grant programs. A recent congressional hearing evaluated the impact of alleged inefficient grant management which resulted in more than 794 million dollars in undisbursed federal grant funds in expired grant accounts. This report is designed to assist Congress in its oversight of federal grants-in-aid programs by first providing a summary of relevant processes and authorities, analyzing the causes of undisbursed grant funds in expired grant accounts, and presenting congressional options to reform federal grant administration to increase the timeliness, reliability, and comprehensiveness of grant management-related information.

T1  - Same-Sex Marriage: A Legal Background after United States v. Windsor
AN  - 1641843726; 2011-760763
AB  - The recognition of same-sex marriage generates debate on both the federal and state levels. Same-sex marriage is legal in more than a dozen states and the District of Columbia; Conversely, many states have statutory or constitutional prohibitions against same-sex marriage. Courts are beginning to address the constitutionality of these "defense of marriage" laws using equal protection and due process analysis. In United States v. Windsor, the US Supreme Court struck down the federal ban on benefits for legally married same-sex couples; however, the Court indicated that it was taking no position on a state's authority to forbid same-sex marriages.

The strategy is for the US to lead and expand a multilateral coalition that will undertake direct military action, provide support for partner ground forces in Iraq and Syria, gather and share intelligence, and use financial measures to progressively shrink the geographic and political space, manpower, and financial resources available to the Islamic State. The Administration and its allies all have ruled out deploying combat forces to either Iraq or Syria. Tables, Figures.

T1  - An Overview of the HOME Investment Partnerships Program
AN  - 1641843413; 2011-760762
AB  - The HOME Investment Partnerships Program was created by the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990. HOME is a federal block grant program administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that provides funding for affordable housing activities to states and certain localities through formula grants.

AB  - The protection of consumers from anticompetitive, deceptive, or unfair business practices is at the core of the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC's) mission. The FTC has been at the forefront of the federal government's efforts to protect sensitive consumer information from data breaches and regulate cybersecurity. As the number of data breaches has soared, so too have FTC investigations into lax data security practices. The FTC has broad authority under Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act) to prohibit unfair and deceptive acts or practices. Tables.

T1  - Proximity to Natural Gas Wells and Reported Health Status: Results of a Household Survey in Washington County, Pennsylvania
AN  - 1654688270; PQ0001052560
AB  - Background: Little is known about the environmental and public health impact of unconventional natural gas extraction activities, including hydraulic fracturing, that occur near residential areas. Objectives: Our aim was to assess the relationship between household proximity to natural gas wells and reported health symptoms. Methods: We conducted a hypothesis-generating health symptom survey of 492 persons in 180 randomly selected households with ground-fed wells in an area of active natural gas drilling. Gas well proximity for each household was compared with the prevalence and frequency of reported dermal, respiratory, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and neurological symptoms. Results: The number of reported health symptoms per person was higher among residents living  2 km from the nearest gas well (mean plus or minus SD, 1.60 plus or minus 2.14; p = 0.0002). In a model that adjusted for age, sex, household education, smoking, awareness of environmental risk, work type, and animals in house, reported skin conditions were more common in households  2 km from the nearest gas well (odds ratio = 4.1; 95% CI: 1.4, 12.3; p = 0.01). Upper respiratory symptoms were also more frequently reported in persons living in households  2 km from the nearest well (31 and 18%, respectively) (p = 0.004). No equivalent correlation was found between well proximity and other reported groups of respiratory, neurological, cardiovascular, or gastrointestinal conditions. Conclusion: Although these results should be viewed as hypothesis generating, and the population studied was limited to households with a ground-fed water supply, proximity of natural gas wells may be associated with the prevalence of health symptoms including dermal and respiratory conditions in residents living near natural gas extraction activities. Further study of these associations, including the role of specific air and water exposures, is warranted.

T1  - The Help America Vote Act and Election Administration: Overview and Issues
AN  - 1641843554; 2011-760765
AB  - The deadlocked November 2000 presidential election focused national attention on previously obscure details of election administration. The response at the federal level was the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), enacted in 2002. HAVA created the Election Assistance Commission (EAC), established a set of election administration requirements, and provided federal funding, without supplanting state and local control over election administration. This report provides background information about HAVA and its provisions, the EAC, funding for the agency and for state programs to improve elections, and a number of enduring election administration issues.

T1  - Green and Blue Spaces and Behavioral Development in Barcelona Schoolchildren: The BREATHE Project
AN  - 1642630223; 21202003
AB  - Background: Green spaces have been associated with improved mental health in children; however, available epidemiological evidence on their impact on child behavioral development is scarce. Objectives: We investigated the impact of contact with green spaces and blue spaces (beaches) on indicators of behavioral development and symptoms of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in schoolchildren. Methods: This study was based on a sample of 2,111 schoolchildren (7-10 years of age) from 36 schools in Barcelona in 2012. We obtained data on time spent in green spaces and beaches and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaires (SDQ) from parents, and ADHD/DSM-IV questionnaires from teachers. Surrounding greenness was abstracted as the average Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) in buffers of 100 m, 250 m, and 500 m around each home address. Proximity to green spaces was defined as living within 300 m of a major green space ( greater than or equal to 0.05 km2). We applied quasi-Poisson mixed-effects models (with school random effect) to separately estimate associations between indicators of contact with green spaces and SDQ and ADHD total and subscale scores. Results: We generally estimated beneficial associations between behavioral indicators and longer time spent in green spaces and beaches, and with residential surrounding greenness. Specifically, we found statistically significant inverse associations between green space playing time and SDQ total difficulties, emotional symptoms, and peer relationship problems; between residential surrounding greenness and SDQ total difficulties and hyperactivity/inattention and ADHD/DSM-IV total and inattention scores; and between annual beach attendance and SDQ total difficulties, peer relationship problems, and prosocial behavior. For proximity to major green spaces, the results were not conclusive. Conclusion: Our findings support beneficial impacts of contact with green and blue spaces on behavioral development in schoolchildren.

T1  - Authorization of Appropriations: Procedural and Legal Issues
AN  - 1641843727; 2011-760766
AB  - To provide funding for discretionary spending programs of the government, Congress generally uses an annual appropriations process. Under congressional rules, when making decisions about the funding of individual items or programs, however, Congress may be constrained by the terms of previously enacted legislation. The way in which the House and Senate interpret and apply this concept under their respective rules and precedents creates a distinction between authorized and unauthorized appropriations. This report provides a brief explanation of this distinction, and its significance for understanding how appropriations and other legislation work in conjunction to determine how agencies may spend appropriated funds.

T1  - Klamath Basin Settlement Agreements
AN  - 1641843455; 2011-760767
AB  - The Klamath River Basin on the California-Oregon border is a focal point for local and national discussions on water allocation and species protection. Previously, water and species management issues have exacerbated competition and generated conflict among several interests -- farmers, Indian tribes, commercial and sport fishermen, federal water project and wildlife refuge managers, environmental groups, hydropower facility operators, and state, local, and tribal governments. Drought conditions and a call for water by senior water rights holders in 2013 have again brought these issues to the forefront. Tables, Figures.

T1  - Aerial Application of Mancozeb and Urinary Ethylene Thiourea (ETU) Concentrations among Pregnant Women in Costa Rica: The Infants' Environmental Health Study (ISA)
AN  - 1642631366; 21202001
AB  - Background: Mancozeb and its main metabolite ethylene thiourea (ETU) may alter thyroid function; thyroid hormones are essential for fetal brain development. In Costa Rica, mancozeb is aerially sprayed at large-scale banana plantations on a weekly basis. Objectives: Our goals were to evaluate urinary ETU concentrations in pregnant women living near large-scale banana plantations, compare their estimated daily intake (EDI) with established reference doses (RfDs), and identify factors that predict their urinary ETU concentrations. Methods: We enrolled 451 pregnant women from Matina County, Costa Rica, which has large-scale banana production. We visited 445 women up to three times during pregnancy to obtain urine samples (n = 872) and information on factors that possibly influence exposure. We determined urinary ETU concentrations using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. Results: Pregnant women's median urinary ETU concentrations were more than five times higher than those reported for other general populations. Seventy-two percent of the women had EDIs above the RfD. Women who lived closest (1st quartile, < 48 m) to banana plantations on average had a 45% (95% CI: 23, 72%) higher urinary ETU compared with women who lived farthest away (4th quartile, greater than or equal to 565 m). Compared with the other women, ETU was also higher in women who washed agricultural work clothes on the day before sampling (11%; 95% CI: 4.9, 17%), women who worked in agriculture during pregnancy (19%; 95% CI: 9.3, 29%), and immigrant women (6.2%; 95% CI: 1.0, 13%). Conclusions: The pregnant women's urinary ETU concentrations are of concern, and the principal source of exposure is likely to be aerial spraying of mancozeb. The factors predicting ETU provide insight into possibilities for exposure reduction.

AN  - 1641843422; 2011-760768
AB  - This report provides an overview of the major exceptions to the First Amendment -- of the ways that the Supreme Court has interpreted the guarantee of freedom of speech and press to provide no protection or only limited protection for some types of speech. It also outlines many of the standards the government must meet when attempting to regulate speech in a constitutional manner. For example, the Court has decided that the First Amendment provides no protection for obscenity, child pornography, or speech that constitutes what has become widely known as "fighting words," and other forms of public and commercial speech.

T1  - Health Care Fraud and Abuse Laws Affecting Medicare and Medicaid: An Overview
AN  - 1641843250; 2011-760769
AB  - Considering that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is the largest purchaser of health care in the US, and that Medicare and Medicaid combined pay about one-third of the Nation's health expenditures, it is not surprising that these federal health programs have been considered prime targets for fraudulent activity. This report provides a brief overview of some of the key federal statutes, including program-related civil and criminal penalties, the anti-kickback statute, the Stark law, and the False Claims Act, that are used to combat fraud and abuse in federal health care programs.

T1  - Household Cooking with Solid Fuels Contributes to Ambient PM2.5 Air Pollution and the Burden of Disease
AN  - 1651375376; 21201999
AB  - Background: Approximately 2.8 billion people cook with solid fuels. Research has focused on the health impacts of indoor exposure to fine particulate pollution. Here, for the 2010 Global Burden of Disease project (GBD 2010), we evaluated the impact of household cooking with solid fuels on regional population-weighted ambient PM2.5 (particulate matter less than or equal to 2.5 mu m) pollution (APM2.5). Objectives: We estimated the proportion and concentrations of APM2.5 attributable to household cooking with solid fuels (PM2.5-cook) for the years 1990, 2005, and 2010 in 170 countries, and associated ill health. Methods: We used an energy supply-driven emissions model (GAINS; Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollution Interactions and Synergies) and source-receptor model (TM5-FASST) to estimate the proportion of APM2.5 produced by households and the proportion of household PM2.5 emissions from cooking with solid fuels. We estimated health effects using GBD 2010 data on ill health from APM2.5 exposure. Results: In 2010, household cooking with solid fuels accounted for 12% of APM2.5 globally, varying from 0% of APM2.5 in five higher-income regions to 37% (2.8 mu g/m3 of 6.9 mu g/m3 total) in southern sub-Saharan Africa. PM2.5-cook constituted > 10% of APM2.5 in seven regions housing 4.4 billion people. South Asia showed the highest regional concentration of APM2.5 from household cooking (8.6 mu g/m3). On the basis of GBD 2010, we estimate that exposure to APM2.5 from cooking with solid fuels caused the loss of 370,000 lives and 9.9 million disability-adjusted life years globally in 2010. Conclusions: PM2.5 emissions from household cooking constitute an important portion of APM2.5 concentrations in many places, including India and China. Efforts to improve ambient air quality will be hindered if household cooking conditions are not addressed.

T1  - Pyrethroid Pesticide Exposure and Parental Report of Learning Disability and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in U.S. Children: NHANES 1999-2002
AN  - 1642627460; 21202000
AB  - Background: Use of pyrethroid insecticides has increased dramatically over the past decade; however, data on their potential health effects, particularly on children, are limited. Objective: We examined the cross-sectional association between postnatal pyrethroid exposure and parental report of learning disability (LD) and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children 6-15 years of age. Methods: Using logistic regression, we estimated associations of urinary metabolites of pyrethroid insecticides with parent-reported LD, ADHD, and both LD and ADHD in 1,659-1,680 children participating in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999-2002). Results: The prevalence rates of parent-reported LD, ADHD, and both LD and ADHD were 12.7%, 10.0%, and 5.4%, respectively. Metabolite detection frequencies for 3-PBA [3-phenoxybenzoic acid], cis-DCCA [cis-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid], and trans-DCCA [trans-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid] were 77.1%, 35.6%, and 33.9%, respectively. The geometric mean 3-PBA concentration was 0.32 mu g/L (median = 0.31 mu g/L; interquartile rage = 0.10-0.89 mu g/L). cis- and trans-DCCA 75th-percentile concentrations were 0.21 mu g/L and 0.68 mu g/L, respectively. Log10-transformed 3-PBA concentrations were associated with adjusted odds ratios (ORs) of 1.18 (95% CI: 0.92, 1.51) for parent-reported LD, 1.16 (95% CI: 0.85, 1.58) for ADHD, and 1.45 (95% CI: 0.92, 2.27) for both LD and ADHD. Adjusted ORs remained nonsignificant and decreased after controlling for creatinine and other environmental chemicals previously linked to altered neurodevelopment. Similarly, no significant associations were observed for cis- and trans-DCCA. Conclusions: Postnatal pyrethroid exposure was not associated with parental report of LD and/or ADHD. Given the widespread and increasing use of pyrethroids, future research should evaluate exposures at current levels, particularly during critical windows of brain development.

T1  - Protection of Trade Secrets: Overview of Current Law and Legislation
AN  - 1641844527; 2011-760637
AB  - Some observers assert that the federal government cannot adequately protect US trade secrets from domestic and foreign threats. They have urged Congress to adopt a comprehensive, federal trade secret law in order to promote uniformity in trade secret law throughout the US and to more effectively deal with trade secret theft that crosses state and international borders (a challenging problem for state courts to address). Among other things, they support the establishment of a federal civil cause of action for trade secret misappropriation, to allow US companies to obtain monetary and injunctive relief when their trade secret assets are stolen.

T1  - Aviation War Risk Insurance: Background and Options for Congress
AN  - 1641843587; 2011-760770
AB  - Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, coverage for such attacks, and for "war risks," became difficult, if not impossible, for airlines to purchase from private insurers. In response, Congress passed expansions of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Aviation War Risk Insurance Program. The amended statute requires that the FAA offer war risk insurance to US airlines. The expansion of the program was limited in time, but has been extended several times over the years, often as part of appropriations legislation. Tables, Appendixes.

T1  - The Take Care Clause and Executive Discretion in the Enforcement of Law

AB  - The Take Care Clause would appear to stand for two, at times diametrically opposed proposition: one imposing a "duty" upon the President and the other viewing the Clause as a source of Presidential "power." Primarily, the Take Care Clause has been interpreted as placing an obligation on both the President and those under his supervision to comply with and execute clear statutory directives as enacted by Congress -- However, the Supreme Court has also construed the Clause as ensuring Presidential control over the enforcement of federal law.

T1  - A Primer on the Reviewability of Agency Delay and Enforcement Discretion
AN  - 1641843456; 2011-760772
AB  - During the 113th Congress, the Obama Administration announced that certain federal agencies would not enforce specific aspects of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for a period of time in order to allow the public to further prepare for proper compliance with the law in the future. This has led to numerous questions regarding how courts treat administrative delays of regulatory programs. This report discusses the general legal principles applied in determining whether administrative delays are reviewable in court in two different contexts and then addresses whether the procedures outlined in the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) are applicable to these delays.

T1  - Characteristics of Walkable Built Environments and BMI z-Scores in Children: Evidence from a Large Electronic Health Record Database
AN  - 1642631574; 21201994
AB  - Background: Childhood obesity remains a prominent public health problem. Walkable built environments may prevent excess weight gain. Objectives: We examined the association of walkable built environment characteristics with body mass index (BMI) z-score among a large sample of children and adolescents. Methods: We used geocoded residential address data from electronic health records of 49,770 children and adolescents 4 to < 19 years of age seen at the 14 pediatric practices of Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates from August 2011 through August 2012. We used eight geographic information system (GIS) variables to characterize walkable built environments. Outcomes were BMI z-score at the most recent visit and BMI z-score change from the earliest available (2008-2011) to the most recent (2011-2012) visit. Multivariable models were adjusted for child age, sex, race/ethnicity, and neighborhood median household income. Results: In multivariable cross-sectional models, living in closer proximity to recreational open space was associated with lower BMI z-score. For example, children who lived in closest proximity (quartile 1) to the nearest recreational open space had a lower BMI z-score ( beta = -0.06; 95% CI: -0.08, -0.03) compared with those living farthest away (quartile 4; reference). Living in neighborhoods with fewer recreational open spaces and less residential density, traffic density, sidewalk completeness, and intersection density were associated with higher cross-sectional BMI z-score and with an increase in BMI z-score over time. Conclusions: Overall, built environment characteristics that may increase walkability were associated with lower BMI z-scores in a large sample of children. Modifying existing built environments to make them more walkable may reduce childhood obesity. Citation: Duncan DT, Sharifi M, Melly SJ, Marshall R, Sequist TD, Rifas-Shiman SL, Taveras EM. 2014.

T1  - Government Assistance for GMAC/Ally Financial: Unwinding the Government Stake
AN  - 1641843319; 2011-760775
AB  - General Motors (GM) and Chrysler, in addition to being affected by the downdraft of the Great Recession, were in especially precarious financial positions. The separate companies that financed GM and Chrysler vehicles, General Motors Acceptance Corporation (GMAC) and Chrysler Financial, were also experiencing financial difficulties, with GMAC also suffering from large losses in the mortgage markets. Ultimately, the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) assistance came from the Auto Industry Financing Program, not the programs assisting banks. Tables, Figures.

T1  - A greenhouse gas assessment of a stadium in Australia
AN  - 1622602249; 20863765
AB  - A greenhouse gas (GHG) life cycle assessment (LCA) was performed on a stadium used for sporting events in a subtropical region in Australia. Inventories for the construction and operation of a stadium are presented and the GHG emissions from construction, operations and end-of-life waste management are assessed against the attendance of one person at one event. The inclusion of additional economic activities, patron travel, LCA methodology, attendance and stadium life-time assumptions are likely to affect the overall magnitude of the GHG emissions of one person's attendance. The assessment shows that the stadium operation accounted for 72.5% of GHG emissions, with the operation of baseload heating, ventilation and cooling, lighting and refrigeration systems dominating. The best opportunity to reduce GHG emissions is to reduce the need for the continual operation of these systems. Construction impacts account for 24.7% of impacts, while replacement materials, end-of-life management of materials are relatively insignificant, contributing to less than 3% of life cycle GHG emissions.

T1  - The Doctrine of Constitutional Avoidance: A Legal Overview
AN  - 1641843400; 2011-760776
AB  - The Supreme Court's exercise of the power of judicial review has led to sharp criticisms of the Court and accusations of judicial "activism" thwarting the will of the majority. The prominent solution to the potential perils of the countermajoritarian difficulty, as espoused by Professor Alexander Bickel, is that the judiciary -- and in particular the High Court -- should exercise the "passive virtues," returning an unsettled and controversial constitutional problem to the political realm for resolution -- a doctrine called the constitutional avoidance doctrine.

T1  - Exploring the link between early constructor involvement in project decision-making and the efficacy of health and safety risk control
AN  - 1611613845; 20696962
AB  - The position of the constructor in communication networks, including those before the commencement of construction, is likely related to the quality of work health and safety (WHS) outcomes realized. In order to examine the extent of this relationship, 23 cases were drawn from 10 participating construction projects in Australia and New Zealand. Social network analysis was used to mathematically and graphically model information exchanges in 13 of these cases. For each case, the quality of WHS risk control outcomes was measured. This measurement was based on an established 'hierarchy of control' in which risk controls are classified in descending order of effectiveness from the elimination of a hazard (the most effective) to the reliance on personal protective equipment (the least effective). Social network metrics were calculated reflecting: (1) the ratio of actual links among parties in the project network relative to the maximum number of links possible (network density); and (2) the extent to which the constructor communicated with other parties in pre-project planning and design stages (the constructors' degree centrality). Network metrics were compared for cases in which the risk control scores were higher and lower than average. The results showed a significant difference in constructors' pre-construction degree centrality for cases with high and low risk control scores. The results provide preliminary evidence as to the potential WHS benefits of ensuring that constructors' knowledge about construction methods, materials, WHS risks and means of risk control, are integrated into pre-construction decision-making.

T1  - Basic Psychological Needs Influencing the Regularity of Domestic Rainwater Tank Maintenance
AN  - 1846415694; PQ0003869317
AB  - Inadequate and irregular maintenance of rainwater tanks can lead to health risks, affecting individual users (e.g. home owners and others who may use/consume the water) and the general public more indirectly, through the spread of water borne disease and potentially costly health impacts. This study examines the relationship between basic psychological needs (competence, autonomy, relatedness) and regularity of rainwater tank maintenance for urban non-potable use tanks. A mail out survey was sent to urban householders in South East Queensland, Australia, who lived in new detached dwellings with mandated rainwater tanks (N=754). Multiple regression analysis found that competence, autonomy and relatedness accounted for a moderate-high amount of variance (24 %) in regular tank maintenance behaviour; competence was found to be the most dominant factor in explaining maintenance behaviour, indicating that people were more motivated to carry out maintenance if they perceived themselves as able to do the maintenance required. As decentralised water systems become more popular in urban areas, it is crucial that citizens maintain their alternative water infrastructure to minimise public health risks associated with water- and vector-borne illnesses. This research is crucial to understanding psychological drivers of tank maintenance, particularly among individuals who did not choose to adopt decentralised tank infrastructure (i.e. were mandated to install the infrastructure) and, therefore, may be unfamiliar and unmotivated to use or maintain their tanks for non-potable applications.

T1  - Can a polycentric structure affect travel behaviour? A comparison of Melbourne, Australia and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
AN  - 1808707583; PQ0003304231
AB  - This study models the impact of the shift from a monocentric private-car-oriented city to polycentric public-transport-oriented city. Metropolitan areas have suffered traffic problems-in particular increase in travel time and travel distance. Urban expansion, population growth and road network development have led to urban sprawl in monocentric cities. In many monocentric cities, travel time and distance has steadily increased and is only expected to increase in the future. Excessive travel leads to several problems such as air pollution, noise, congestion, reduction in productive time, greenhouse emissions, and increased stress and accident rates. This study examines the interaction of land use and travel. A model was developed and calibrated to Melbourne and Riyadh conditions and used for scenario analysis. This model included two parts: a spatial model and a transport model. The scenario analysis included variations of residential and activity distribution, as well as conditions of public transport service.

T1  - Disability, job mismatch, earnings and job satisfaction in Australia
AN  - 1761663758; 2011-892916
AB  - We examine the relationship between disability, job mismatch, earnings and job satisfaction using panel estimation on data from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey (2001-08). While we do not find any relationship between work-limiting disability and overskilling, it appears that there is a positive relationship between work-limiting disability and overeducation, which is consistent with disability onset leading to downward occupational movement, at least in relative terms. We find a negative correlation between work-limiting disability and both earnings and job satisfaction. However, there is only evidence of a causal relationship in terms of the latter, where the impact of disability is found to be multifaceted. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Mark Twain & Copyright: Samuel Clemens' Fight for the Intellectual Property Rights to Mark Twain's Works Helped to Protect the Nation's Authors at Home and Abroad
AN  - 1718055599; 201506857
AB  - On May 7, 1874, Samuel L. Clemens - the American author and humorist known as Mark Twain - wrote to Librarian of Congress Ainsworth Rand Spofford, seeking copyright protection for his pamphlet and its cover design. In 1870, the Library of Congress had become the federal repository for commercial and intellectual copyright; authors routinely submitted samples of their work to the Librarian of Congress to document their legal claims. Accompanying Clemens letter was an illustration from The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, the landmark comic sketch that made Twain an overnight literary sensation in 1865 under the title Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog. It would be several years before his publication of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, but Twain had already discovered the price of success - unauthorized editions of his writings were being published throughout the English-speaking world without due compensation for the author.

While some songs were adopted by specific, localized movements, many have been claimed by groups throughout the world - sometimes to the opposite effect. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Happy Birthday, 'Star-Spangled banner': The Library of Congress Has Been Preserving the History of the National Anthem for more than a Century
AN  - 1718055540; 201506755
AB  - The story of The Star-Spangled Banner, for many decades, seemed as murky as the smoky haze over Fort McHenry on the September morning in 1814 when Francis Scott Key wrote the lyrics that still inspire a nation. For much of those two centuries, the story behind The Star-Spangled Banner remained little understood, even as the song became enormously popular among the citizenry of a growing country. Today, the anthems history is well-documented in large part because of research done by Library of Congress musicologists or done by others using Library collections. For more than a century, the Library has served as the principal center of research about The Star-Spangled Banner. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - DOCUMENTING DANCE: THE MAKING OF APPALACHIAN SPRING
AN  - 1718055514; 201506759
AB  - When 'Appalachian Spring' debuted at the Library of Congress on Oct. 30, 1944, the one-act ballet made dance history. Set in rural Pennsylvania during the 19th century, the idyllic story of newlyweds building their first farmhouse evoked a simpler time and place that appealed to a nation at war abroad. Rooted in Americana, the ballet has continued to resonate with audiences during the 70 years since its first performance. The confluence of several creative forces, each at the top of their game, is a key ingredient to the work's success. These included choreographer and dancer Martha Graham and her dance partner Erick Hawkins; But others playes a pivotal role; music patron Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge who commissioned the work, and the Library's Music Division chief, Harold Spivacke, who served as impresario. Since its establishment in 1925, the Coolidge Foundation has commissioned more than 100 works in various musical genres, including four ballets. 'Appalachian Spring' is by far the most well-known and most significant of Mrs. Coolidge's Library commissions. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Tracing the Music Of a Movement
AN  - 1718055023; 201506758
AB  - From gospel to folk, jazz to R&B, music gave voice to the social unrest of the 1960s. Songs like 'Lift Every Voice and Sing' (the Negro National Anthem) and 'We Shall Not Be Moved' bolstered the spirits and resolve of those at sit-ins and on picket lines and may have inspired some on the sidelines to march for equal rights under the law. Bob Dylan's 'The Times They Are A-Changin' and Sam Cooke's 'A Change Is Gonna Come' announced the end of the status quo. But one song - 'We Shall Overcome' - became the anthem of the Civil Rights Movement. Folksingers Pete Seeger, Guy Carawan and Frank Hamilton registered a copyright on 'We Shall Overcome' in 1960 as a derivative work. But the song is deeply rooted in African-American gospel hymns.

T1  - Technology at the Library: Anatomy of the Flute: New Technology is Shedding Light on the Structure of Early 19th Century Glass Flutes Housed at the Library of Congress
AN  - 1718054981; 201506861
AB  - The Library of Congress holds the largest collection of flutes in the world, due in great measure to the generosity of Ohio physicist and amateur flutist Dayton C. Miller (1866-1941). Miller donated his collection of more than 1,700 flutes and wind instruments to the Library upon his death. Housed among Millers gold, silver, wood and ivory flutes are 18 flutes made out of glass during the first half of the 19th century by Claude Laurent of Paris. The Laurent flutes are the subject of a collaborative research project between the Library's Music Division and its Preservation Directorate. This cross-disciplinary collaboration is shedding new light on the Madison flute and its sibling glass flutes. The research will allow the Library to care for these rare instruments with the most up-to-date preservation methods, provide a new understanding about the place of Laurents flutes in history and enrich the world's knowledge of 19th-century glass preservation.

AN  - 1718054897; 201506858
AB  - It was not long after Felice Mancini's father Henry Mancini's death in 1994 that she realized the extent of dads music and papers: stacks of movie-score parts, concert music and lead sheets, scripts, reel-to-reel tapes, TV queues - many hand-written, and some up to 40 years old. My mom and I visited the Library of Congress and met with the staff. It was one of many stops on our tour of possible resting places for a collection of classic and beloved music from a lifetime of a composers work. The entire Mancini family feels that the legacy and the music will live on, through our personal lives and efforts, and in the haven of the Library of Congress. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Library of Congress Recommended Format Specifications: Encouraging Preservation Without Discouraging Creation
AN  - 1679030167
AB  - The Library of Congress has a fundamental commitment to acquiring, preserving and making accessible in the long term the creative output of the nation and the world. The Library has devised the Recommended Format Specifications to enable it to identify what formats will most easily lend themselves to preservation and long-term access, especially with regard to digital formats. The Library has done this to provide guidance to its staff in their work of acquiring content for its collection, but also seeks to share this with other stakeholders, from the creative community to vendors to other libraries, each of which has a need and interest in preservation and access. To ensure ongoing accuracy and relevancy, the Library of Congress will be reviewing and revising the specifications on an annual basis and welcomes feedback and input from all interested parties.

T1  - Comparative fitness of Alternaria species causing leaf blotch and fruit spot of apple in Australia
AN  - 1627987262; 20926484
AB  - The reason for the high prevalence of the Alternaria arborescens species group compared to other species groups associated with leaf blotch of apple in Australia is not well understood. In order to determine if A. arborescens has a biological fitness advantage over the other species groups, this study compared the mycelial growth rate, fecundity and competitive spore production attributes of three isolates of each of four Alternaria species groups and examined the relationship between saprophytic and pathogenic fitness traits. Overall, this study revealed that the fitness attributes of the Alternaria isolates are significantly different among and within each of the species groups and suggests a strong relationship exists between high aggressive isolates and fast mycelial growth rate. A possible trade-off between fecundity and mycelial growth rate and contribution of mycelial growth rate in host invasion processes and factors that contribute to prevalence of the Alternaria species groups associated with leaf blotch and fruit spot of apple in Australia are discussed.

T1  - Comparison of sapwood invasion by three Phytophthora spp. in different hosts
AN  - 1627985033; 20926480
AB  - Many Phytophthora spp. have recently been isolated from native vegetation in Western Australia. As their pathogenicity is often unknown, it is not possible to provide advice to land managers on the impact of site infestation on native plants and how these infestations should be managed. We describe a rapid screening method based on sapwood invasion that has been used to compare the pathogenicity of Phytophthora arenaria, P. cinnamomi and P. multivora. Radial invasion into the xylem of six banksias and three eucalypts was assessed in an excised branch assay in summer and winter. Branches were wound inoculated and invasion was assessed by plating from a strip of tissue cut across the stem at the inoculation point and at 40 mm above and below. A symptomless infection had established in both the bark and sapwood within 6 days. P. arenaria was only isolated from the strip of tissue at the inoculation point. P. cinnamomi was isolated from the sapwood of Banksia attenuata, B. burdettii, B. menziesii and B. speciosa 40 mm above or below the inoculation point in some experiments. P. multivora was isolated from B. speciosa 40 mm below the inoculation point in one experiment. Hyphae of both species were seen in both ray parenchyma cells and xylem vessels. The invasiveness of the Phytophthora spp. was compared on the two groups of hosts using scores for sapwood invasion at the inoculation point. For banksias, P. cinnamomi and P. multivora had significantly higher invasion scores on banksias than P. arenaria but were not significantly different to one another. There was no significant difference between the three Phytophthora spp. on the eucalypt hosts. Assessing sapwood invasion provides a rapid, inexpensive and biologically meaningful way of screening the many Phytophthora spp. that have been isolated from native vegetation.

T1  - Brief Report: Visual Acuity in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
AN  - 1627732417
AB  - Recently, there has been heightened interest in suggestions of enhanced visual acuity in autism spectrum disorders (ASD) which was sparked by evidence that was later accepted to be methodologically flawed. However, a recent study that claimed children with ASD have enhanced visual acuity (Brosnan et al. in J Autism Dev Disord 42:2491–2497, 2012) repeated a critical methodological flaw by using an inappropriate viewing distance for a computerised acuity test, placing the findings in doubt. We examined visual acuity in 31 children with ASD and 33 controls using the 2 m 2000 Series Revised Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study chart placed at twice the conventional distance to better evaluate possible enhanced acuity. Children with ASD did not demonstrate superior acuity. The current findings strengthen the argument that reports of enhanced acuity in ASD are due to methodological flaws and challenges the reported association between visual acuity and systemising type behaviours.

T1  - New Politics, an Opportunity for Maternal Health Advancement in Eastern Myanmar: An Integrative Review
AN  - 1622606032; 20804933
AB  - Myanmar (formerly Burma) is a southeast Asian country, with a long history of military dictatorship, human rights violations, and poor health indicators. The health situation is particularly dire among pregnant women in the ethnic minorities of the eastern provinces (Kachin, Shan, Mon, Karen and Karenni regions). This integrative review investigates the current status of maternal mortality in eastern Myanmar in the context of armed conflict between various separatist groups and the military regime. The review examines the underlying factors contributing to high maternal mortality in eastern Myanmar and assesses gaps in the existing research, suggesting areas for further research and policy response. Uncovered were a number of underlying factors uniquely contributing to maternal mortality in eastern Myanmar. These could be grouped into the following analytical themes: ongoing conflict, health system deficits, and political and socioeconomic influences. Abortion was interestingly not identified as an important contributor to maternal mortality. Recent political liberalization may provide space to act upon identified roles and opportunities for the Myanmar Government, the international community, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in a manner that positively impacts on maternal healthcare in the eastern regions of Myanmar. This review makes a number of recommendations to this effect.

T1  - Microbial Evaluation of Fresh, Minimally-processed Vegetables and Bagged Sprouts from Chain Supermarkets
AN  - 1622604868; 20804919
AB  - The aim of this study was to evaluate the bacterial and fungal quality of minimally-processed vegetables (MPV) and sprouts. A total of 116 samples of fresh-cut vegetables, ready-to-eat salads, and mung bean and wheat sprouts were randomly collected and analyzed. The load of aerobic mesophilic bacteria was minimum and maximum in the fresh-cut vegetables and fresh mung bean sprouts respectively, corresponding to populations of 5.3 and 8.5 log CFU/g. E. coli O157:H7 was found to be absent in all samples; however, other E. coli strains were detected in 21 samples (18.1%), and Salmonella spp. were found in one mung bean (3.1%) and one ready-to-eat salad sample (5%). Yeasts were the predominant organisms and were found in 100% of the samples. Geotrichum, Fusarium, and Penicillium spp. were the most prevalent molds in mung sprouts while Cladosporium and Penicillium spp. were most frequently found in ready-to-eat salad samples. According to results from the present study, effective control measures should be implemented to minimize the microbiological contamination of fresh produce sold in Tehran, Iran.

T1  - Episodic post-rift deformation in the south-eastern Australian passive margin: evidence from the Lapstone Structural Complex
AN  - 1620046730; 20640470
AB  - Identifying the influence of neotectonics on the morphology of elevated passive margins is complicated in that major morpho-structural patterns might plausibly be explained by processes related to late Mesozoic to early Cenozoic rifting and/or differential erosion induced by Cenozoic epeirogenic uplift. The proportional contribution of each process can vary from continent to continent, and potentially even within the same passive margin. In the passive margin setting of the southeast Australian highlands the documented occurrence of neotectonic deformation is rare, and accordingly its role in landscape evolution is difficult to establish. The results of investigations within the Lapstone Structural Complex, which forms the eastern range front of the Blue Mountains Plateau, provide evidence for two periods of Cenozoic neotectonic uplift in this part of the highlands. The first, demonstrated by seismic and structural evidence, is suggested to have occurred in the Paleogene, and is thus unrelated to Cretaceous rifting. The second period, demonstrated by evidence from the Kurrajong Fault (presented herein) suggests that uplift occurred in both the Mio-Pliocene and the Middle Pleistocene. The cumulative Neogene and younger uplift of ~15m determined for the Kurrajong Fault is less than 10% of the 130m of total measured throw across the fault. The apparently minor contribution of neotectonism to the current elevation of the Blue Mountains Plateau supports a predominantly erosional exhumation origin for the topographic relief at the plateau's eastern edge. This finding contrasts with evidence from fault complexes associated with similar topographic relief elsewhere in the south-eastern highlands, indicating that present-day topography cannot be directly related to relief generated by Neogene and younger uplift, even from relatively closely-spaced (< 150km) structures within the same passive margin. These findings have implications for understanding the spatio-temporal variability of post-rift faulting in continental passive margin settings and the evolution of landscapes therein. copyright Commonwealth of Australia.

T1  - Determinants of the Knowledge of and Attitude towards Tuberculosis in Nigeria
AN  - 1618150351; 20804929
AB  - Globally, Nigeria had the fourth highest incidence of tuberculosis (TB) cases in 2009. Datasets of the 2008 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) were used for examining factors associated with respondents' knowledge of and attitude towards TB in Nigeria. With the same age-group of males and females, the sample included 47,193 respondents aged 15-49 years. Factors associated with the knowledge of and attitude towards TB were examined against a set of individual-, household- and community-level variables, using multiple binary logistic regression analyses. Respondents who reported having ever heard of TB was 74.7%. Of those who ever heard of TB, 76.9% believed that TB can be cured, and 19.6% would want a family member's TB to be kept secret. Of those who ever heard of TB, 63.1% believed that TB was spread from person to person through the air by coughing or sneezing. Multivariate analysis indicated that the probability of having poor knowledge of and negative attitude towards TB was consistently significant among the poorest household (lowest wealth quintile), geopolitical regions (North Central), respondents with no schooling, non-working respondents, youngest age-group (15-19 years), and rural areas [adjusted odds ratios (AOR)=0.76, 95% CI 0.66-0.86 for respondents who had ever heard of TB; AOR=0.89, 95% CI 0.80-0.99 for respondents who had ever heard of TB and believed that TB can be cured; AOR=0.83, 95% CI 0.73-0.94 for those who had ever heard of TB and concealed the fact that a family member had TB; and AOR=0.88, 95% CI 0.78-0.99 for those who had ever heard of TB and believed TB was spread from person to person through the air by coughing or sneezing]. Efforts to improve the knowledge of and attitude towards TB in Nigeria should focus on the youngest age-group (15-19 years), the poorest households, and respondents with no schooling. Improving the knowledge and attitude of these groups of individuals may result in an increase in the number of people who will seek early treatment.

T1  - Estimating Costs Associated with a Community Outbreak of Meningococcal Disease in a Colombian Caribbean City
AN  - 1618149434; 20804930
AB  - Meningococcal disease is a serious and potentially life-threatening infection that is caused by the bacterium Neisseria meningitidis (N. meningitidis), and it can cause meningitis, meningococcaemia outbreaks and epidemics. The disease is fatal in 9-12% of cases and with a death rate of up to 40% among patients with meningococcaemia. The objective of this study was to estimate the costs of a meningococcal outbreak that occurred in a Caribbean city of Colombia. We contacted experts involved in the outbreak and asked them specific questions about the diagnosis and treatment for meningococcal cases during the outbreak. Estimates of costs of the outbreak were also based on extensive review of medical records available during the outbreak. The costs associated with the outbreak were divided into the cost of the disease response phase and the cost of the disease surveillance phase. The costs associated with the outbreak control and surveillance were expressed in US$ (2011) as cost per 1,000 inhabitants. The average age of patients was 4.6 years (SD 3.5); 50% of the cases died; 50% of the cases were reported to have meningitis (3/6); 33% were diagnosed with meningococcaemia and myocarditis (2/6); 50% of the cases had bacteraemia (3/6); 66% of the cases had a culture specimen positive for Neisseria meningitidis; 5 of the 6 cases had RT-PCR positive for N. meningitidis. All N. meningitidis were serogroup B; 50 doses of ceftriaxone were administered as prophylaxis. Vaccine was not available at the time. The costs associated with control of the outbreak were estimated at US$ 0.8 per 1,000 inhabitants, disease surveillance at US$ 4.1 per 1,000 inhabitants, and healthcare costs at US$ 5.1 per 1,000 inhabitants. The costs associated with meningococcal outbreaks are substantial, and the outbreaks should be prevented. The mass chemoprophylaxis implemented helped control the outbreak.

T1  - Livelihood diversification as an adaptation approach to change in the pastoral Hindu-Kush Himalayan region
AN  - 1611625681; 20757999
AB  - Migratory livestock raising has been one of the most important livelihood options for people residing in high mountain areas and has made a significant contribution to the economy of the Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) region, both in terms of supporting households and in export earnings. However, in recent decades, changes in the socioeconomic situation and increasing climate variability have led to a need to enhance adaptation by building the resilience of local socio-ecological systems, including economic diversification and sustainable management of natural resources. Based on semi-structured interviews with pastoral communities in six countries within the pastoral HKH region, this paper discusses the situation, trends and driving forces behind the diversification of pastoral livelihood. For internal diversification the study highlights the need for enhancement of pastoral livelihoods through value-adding activities in the pastoral sectors. For external diversification changes on policy changes are needed to support free out-migration, market exploitation, and multiple resource use. Finally the paper highlights the role of education in determining household adaptation strategies in the face of various socio-ecological pressures and recommends integrating innovative and indigenous knowledge to develop appropriate methods for risk management and resource management in the pastoral HKH region.

AB  - Over the past few years, brokers' needs have sometimes taken a back seat in the association's programming, not because brokers are unimportant, but because National Association of Realtors (NAR) has been applying a broad brush to help all members improve their sales. This approach has worked to some degree. But as real estate markets have become more specialized, such a generalized approach is not always effective. Here, Brown provides a sampling of initiatives that NAR instituted to target many of the frustrations.

T1  - Extending the suite of bioclim variables: a proposed registry system and case study using principal components analysis
AN  - 1566858050; 20749108
AB  - 1. The so-called BIOCLIM variables have played a central role in the advancement of ecologicalmodellingmethods for correlative species distribution modelling. 2. We propose to establish a register of the BIOCLIMvariables, allowing for the extension of the suite of described, readily available covariate data tosupport bioclimatic modelling. The registry will provide a simple means for researchers to add usefuldata sets in a transparent, documented manner. 3. As a case study, we introduce and describe the set offivemost significant principal components of the first 35 BIOCLIM variables (Bio01 to Bio35) and proposethey be assigned as Bio36 to Bio40.Together, these five PCA variables capture more than 90%of thevariability in the full suite of 35 BIOCLIM variables. 4. The PCA variables may provide a means to explore the climaticlimits of poorly known species, with a reduced risk of overfitting the models. The BIOCLIM variable registry should facilitate the expansion of the suite of variables commonly used in species distribution modelling.

T1  - Wetland plant growth under contrasting water regimes associated with river regulation and drought: implications for environmental water management
AN  - 1566828757; 20720099
AB  - An important characteristic of many wetland plants in semi-arid regions is their capacity to withstand fluctuations between extended dry phases and floods. However, anthropogenic river regulation can reduce natural flow variability in riverine wetlands, causing a decline in the frequency and duration of deep flooding as well as extended droughts, and an increase in shallow flooding and soil saturation. Our aim in this paper was to use an experimental approach to examine whether reductions in flooding and drought disadvantage species adapted to both these extremes, and favours those with water requirements that match the new regime of frequent low-level flooding. We compared the growth characteristics and biomass allocation of three native Australian aquatic macrophytes (Pseudoraphis spinescens, Juncus ingens and Typha domingensis), which co-occur at Barmah Forest, south-eastern Australia, under three water treatments: drought, soil saturation and deep flooding. The responses of species to the treatments largely reflected changes in their relative abundance at Barmah Forest since river regulation. Typha domingensis, which has remained uncommon, performed relatively poorly in all treatments, while J. ingens, which has increased its range, exhibited more vigorous growth under soil saturation. Pseudoraphis spinescens, which was once widespread but has declined markedly in its distribution, grew strongly under all water treatments. These findings suggest that a return to more natural, variable river flow regimes can potentially be an important conservation and restoration strategy in ecosystems characterised by species that have adaptations to extreme hydrological growing conditions.

T1  - Transition to self-management after pediatric heart transplant
AN  - 1561742113; 25193722
AB  - Little is known about adolescent transition to self-management after heart transplant. This gap in knowledge is critically important because the consequences of poor self-management are costly and life-threatening, often resulting in nonadherence, rejection, repeated hospitalizations, and poor quality of life.  
To explore how adolescents and parents perceive their roles in self-management, and how adolescents integrate self-management into their daily lives and navigate the transition from parent-dominated to self-management.  
Qualitative descriptive design, using online focus groups.  
Online focus groups using itracks, an online qualitative software program.  
A purposive sample of 4 adolescents, 13 to 21 years old, who were at least 6 months posttransplant, and of 6 parents of adolescent heart transplant recipients.  
Several parallel themes emerged from the parent and adolescent online focus groups. Managing medications was the predominant theme for both parents and adolescents. For the remaining themes, parents and adolescents expressed similar ideas that were categorized into parallel themes, which included staying on top of things/becoming independent, letting them be normal/being normal, and worries and stressors.  
The transition to self-management after heart transplant was a clear goal for both parents and adolescents. The transition is a shared responsibility between parents and adolescents with a gradual shift from parent-directed to self-management. The process of transition was not linear or smooth, and in several instances, parents described efforts to transfer responsibility to the adolescent only to take it back when complications arose. Additional research with a larger sample is needed in order to fully understand adolescent heart transplant recipients' transition to self-management.

T1  - Balancing bioenergy and biosecurity policies: estimating current and future climate suitability patterns for a bioenergy crop
AN  - 1554949019; 20493756
AB  - In an apparent paradox, bioenergy crops offer potential benefits to a world adjusting to the challenges of climate change and declining fossil fuel stocks, as well as potential ecological and economic threats resulting from biological invasions. In considering this paradox it is important to understand that benefits and threats may not always be apparent in equal measure throughout the potential range of each candidate biofuel species. In some environments, a species could potentially produce valuable biological materials without posing a significant invasion threat. In this study, we develop a bioclimatic niche model for a candidate biofuel crop, Millettia pinnata, and apply the model to different climatic and irrigation scenarios to estimate the current and future patterns of climate suitability for its growth and naturalization. We use Australia as a case study for interpreting the niche model in terms that may be informative for both biofuels proponents and biosecurity regulators to plan management programmes that reflect the invasive potential in different areas. The model suggests that suitable growing conditions for M. pinnata in Australia are naturally restricted to the moist and semimoist tropics. Irrigation can extend the suitable growing conditions more widely throughout the tropics, and into more arid regions. Under future climate scenarios, suitable growing conditions for M. pinnata under natural rainfall contract towards the east coast, and extend southward into the subtropics. With irrigation, M. pinnata appears to have the potential in the future to naturalize across much of Australia. The bioclimatic modelling method demonstrated here is comparatively quick and easy, and can produce a rich array of data products to inform the interests of both bioenergy proponents and biosecurity regulators. We show how this modelling can support the development of spatially explicit biosecurity policies designed to manage invasion risks in a manner that balances bioenergy and biosecurity concerns.

T1  - Protection afforded by pre- or post-treatment with 4-phenylbutyrate against liver injury induced by acetaminophen overdose in mice.
AN  - 1554472908; 24951965
AB  - Acetaminophen (paracetamol, N-acetyl-p-aminophenol; APAP) is a widely used analgesic/antipyretic drug with few adverse effects at therapeutic doses; suicidal or unintentional overdose of APAP frequently induces severe hepatotoxicity. To explore a new and effective antidote for APAP hepatotoxicity, this study examined the effects of sodium 4-phenylbutyrate (4-PBA) on liver injury induced by APAP overdose in mice. Liver injury was induced in C57BL/6 male mice by intraperitoneal injection of APAP (400mg/kg). The effects of 4-PBA (100-200mg/kg) treatment at 1h before the APAP injection were evaluated with serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and blood ammonia levels, hepatic pathological changes, including histopathology, DNA damage, nitrotyrosine formation, and mRNA or protein expression involved in the development of hepatotoxicity, such as X-box binding protein-1 (XBP1), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) and B-cell lymphoma 2 interacting mediator of cell death (Bim). In addition, glutathione depletion and CYP2E1 protein expression, which are measures of the metabolic conversion of APAP to a toxic metabolite, were examined. Furthermore, we examined the effects of post-treatment with 4-PBA against APAP-induced hepatotoxicity in mice. When administered at 1h before APAP injection, 4-PBA significantly prevented the increase in serum ALT and blood ammonia levels, centrilobular necrosis of hepatocytes, DNA fragmentation, and nitrotyrosine formation induced by APAP in mice. 4-PBA also inhibited hepatic Xbp1 mRNA splicing and JNK phosphorylation induced by APAP, but did not suppress CHOP and Bim mRNA and protein expression. In addition, 4-PBA had little effect on hepatic glutathione depletion and CYP2E1 expression, parameters of toxic APAP metabolite production. Post-treatment with 4-PBA administration at 1 or 2h after APAP injection also attenuated the increase in serum ALT and blood ammonia levels and hepatic pathological changes in APAP-induced hepatotoxicity in mice. Although post-treatment with 4-PBA did not show any effects on hepatic Xbp1 mRNA splicing and JNK phosphorylation, it drastically attenuated the DNA fragmentation induced by APAP. The precise molecular mechanisms of the protection afforded by 4-PBA against APAP hepatotoxicity in mice are unclear, but they seem to involve inhibition of hepatocellular DNA fragmentation. We suggest that 4-PBA is a promising candidate as an antidote against APAP-induced liver injury.

T1  - Effects of water accommodated fractions of crude oils and diesel on a suite of biomarkers in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua).
AN  - 1543685230; 24929352
AB  - The aim of this study was to characterize concentration- and time-dependent responses in juvenile Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) following exposure for one and three weeks to the water-soluble fraction (WAF) of three weathered oils: Arabian Light crude oil (ALC), North Sea crude oil (NSC) and ship-diesel. The sum of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in water was highest after one week of exposure and within environmentally relevant concentrations. PAH metabolites in bile confirmed exposure to and uptake of PAHs. Hepatic cytochrome P450 1A (CYP1A) gene expression (mRNA quantification) increased dramatically following exposure to all three oil types (fold-change up to 165) and there was a time lag between gene and protein expression. Hepatic CYP1A protein concentration and ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activity were more variable among individuals and treatments than gene expression. EROD activity in liver and gills increased in fish exposed to WAF from the two crude oils, but not in fish exposed to WAF from diesel. Exposure to diesel appeared to induce oxidative stress to a greater extent than exposure to crude oils. Other biomarkers (glutathione S-transferases, acetylcholine esterase, vitellogenin) did not appear to respond to the exposure and hence did not discriminate among oils. Biomarker responses in cod after exposure to weathered crude oils and diesel suggested that the CYP1A system and oxidative stress markers have the highest potential for discriminating among different oil types and to monitor the environmental consequences of spills.

T1  - Towards development of a rapid and effective non-destructive testing strategy to identify brominated flame retardants in the plastics of consumer products.
AN  - 1542007508; 24529451
AB  - Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are a class of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) once extensively used in the plastics of a wide range of consumer products. The listing of certain congeners that are constituents of commercial PBDE mixtures (including c-octaBDE) in the Stockholm Convention and tightening regulation of many other BFRs in recent years have created the need for a rapid and effective method of identifying BFR-containing plastics. A three-tiered testing strategy comparing results from non-destructive testing (X-ray fluorescence (XRF)) (n=1714), a surface wipe test (n=137) and destructive chemical analysis (n=48) was undertaken to systematically identify BFRs in a wide range of consumer products. XRF rapidly identified bromine in 92% of products later confirmed to contain BFRs. Surface wipes of products identified tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), c-octaBDE congeners and BDE-209 with relatively high accuracy (>75%) when confirmed by destructive chemical analysis. A relationship between the amounts of BFRs detected in surface wipes and subsequent destructive testing shows promise in predicting not only the types of BFRs present but also estimating the concentrations present. Information about the types of products that may contain persistent BFRs will assist regulators in implementing policies to further reduce the occurrence of these chemicals in consumer products.

T1  - Which chemicals drive biological effects in wastewater and recycled water?
AN  - 1539462860; 24874944
AB  - Removal of organic micropollutants from wastewater during secondary treatment followed by reverse osmosis and UV disinfection was evaluated by a combination of four in-vitro cell-based bioassays and chemical analysis of 299 organic compounds. Concentrations detected in recycled water were below the Australian Guidelines for Water Recycling. Thus the detected chemicals were considered not to pose any health risk. The detected pesticides in the wastewater treatment plant effluent and partially advanced treated water explained all observed effects on photosynthesis inhibition. In contrast, mixture toxicity experiments with designed mixtures containing all detected chemicals at their measured concentrations demonstrated that the known chemicals explained less than 3% of the observed cytotoxicity and less than 1% of the oxidative stress response. Pesticides followed by pharmaceuticals and personal care products dominated the observed mixture effects. The detected chemicals were not related to the observed genotoxicity. The large proportion of unknown toxicity calls for effect monitoring complementary to chemical monitoring.

T1  - Effect of Exposure to Atmospheric Ultrafine Particles on Production of Free Fatty Acids and Lipid Metabolites in the Mouse Small Intestine
AN  - 1654686188; PQ0001052573
AB  - Background: Exposure to ambient ultrafine particulate matter (UFP) is a well-recognized risk factor for cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. However, little is known about the effects of air pollution on gastrointestinal disorders. Objective: We sought to assess whether exposure to ambient UFP (diameter < 180 nm) increased free fatty acids and lipid metabolites in the mouse small intestine. Methods: Ldlr-null mice were exposed to filtered air (FA) or UFP collected at an urban Los Angeles, California, site that was heavily affected by vehicular emissions; the exposure was carried out for 10 weeks in the presence or absence of D-4F, an apolipoprotein A-I mimetic peptide with antioxidant and anti-inflammation properties on a high-fat or normal chow diet. Results: Compared with FA, exposure to UFP significantly increased intestinal hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs), including 15-HETE, 12-HETE, 5-HETE, as well as hydroxyoctadecadienoic acids (HODEs), including 13-HODE and 9-HODE. Arachidonic acid (AA) and prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) as well as some of the lysophosphatidic acids (LPA) in the small intestine were also increased in response to UFP exposure. Administration of D-4F significantly reduced UFP-mediated increase in HETEs, HODEs, AA, PGD2, and LPA. Although exposure to UFP further led to shortened villus length accompanied by prominent macrophage and neutrophil infiltration into the intestinal villi, administration of D-4F mitigated macrophage infiltration. Conclusions: Exposure to UFP promotes lipid metabolism, villus shortening, and inflammatory responses in mouse small intestine, whereas administration of D-4F attenuated these effects.

T1  - Special Immigrant Juveniles: In Brief
AN  - 1641843688; 2011-760666
AB  - Abused, neglected, or abandoned children who also lack authorization under immigration law to reside in the US (ie, unauthorized aliens) raise complex immigration and child welfare concerns. This report provides a brief explanation of the statutory basis of special immigrant juvenile (SIJ) status and how it has evolved. It also presents statistics on the number of children who have applied for and received SIJ status since FY2005. The report concludes with a discussion of the applicability of SIJ status for unaccompanied alien children. Tables, Figures.

T1  - Can Body Worn Cameras Serve as a Deterrent to Police Misconduct?
AN  - 1641843535; 2011-760778
AB  - Conflicting accounts about what transpired before Michael Brown was shot by Ferguson (MO) Police Officer Darren Wilson on August 9, 2014, have raised questions about police accountability and transparency. Requiring law enforcement officers to use body worn cameras (BWCs) has emerged as one idea to deter officer misconduct and reduce the inappropriate use of force. In addition, in instances where citizens file complaints against officers, research suggests that BWCs may facilitate a quick resolution; and it has also been theorized that BWCs could increase transparency and the perception of police legitimacy.

T1  - U.S. Textile Manufacturing and the Trans-Pacific Partnership Negotiations
AN  - 1641843519; 2011-760724
AB  - Textiles are a contentious and unresolved issue in the ongoing Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations to establish a free-trade zone across the Pacific. Because the negotiating parties include Vietnam, a major apparel producer that now mainly sources yarns and fabrics from China and other Asian nations, the agreement has the potential to shift global trading patterns for textiles and demand for US textile exports. This report explores positive and negative impacts on the US textile industry if the TPP were to be signed. Tables, Figures, Appendixes.

T1  - The "1033 Program" Department of Defense Support to Law Enforcement
AN  - 1641843514; 2011-760706
AB  - The US has traditionally kept military action and civil law enforcement apart, codifying that separation in the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act, however, Congress has occasionally authorized the Department of Defense (DOD) to undertake actions specifically intended to enhance the effectiveness of domestic law enforcement through direct or material support. The 1033 Program, named for the pertinent section of the 1997 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), granted permanent authority to the Secretary of Defense to transfer defense material to federal and state agencies for use in law enforcement, particularly those associated with counter-drug and counter-terrorism activities.

T1  - Unaccompanied Children from Central America: Foreign Policy Considerations
AN  - 1641843138; 2011-760667
AB  - Over the past year, there has been a sharp increase in the number of unaccompanied minors apprehended along the US-Mexico border. Nearly 63,000 unaccompanied minors were apprehended during the first 10 months of FY2014 -- a 100% increase compared to the nearly 31,500 unaccompanied minors apprehended during the first 10 months of FY2013. This dramatic spike has strained US government resources, created a complex crisis with humanitarian implications, and raised concerns both domestically and internationally about the safety and protection of the children. This report explores the foreign policy considerations involved in confronting this crisis. Tables, Figures.

T1  - A nutritional-toxicological assessment of Antarctic krill oil versus fish oil dietary supplements.
AN  - 1559621148; 25170991
AB  - Fish oil dietary supplements and complementary medicines are pitched to play a role of increasing strategic importance in meeting daily requirements of essential nutrients, such as long-chain (≥ C20, LC) omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and vitamin D. Recently a new product category, derived from Antarctic krill, has been launched on the omega-3 nutriceutical market. Antarctic krill oil is marketed as demonstrating a greater ease of absorption due to higher phospholipid content, as being sourced through sustainable fisheries and being free of toxins and pollutants; however, limited data is available on the latter component. Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP) encompass a range of toxic, man-made contaminants that accumulate preferentially in marine ecosystems and in the lipid reserves of organisms. Extraction and concentration of fish oils therefore represents an inherent nutritional-toxicological conflict. This study aimed to provide the first quantitative comparison of the nutritional (EPA and DHA) versus the toxicological profiles of Antarctic krill oil products, relative to various fish oil categories available on the Australian market. Krill oil products were found to adhere closely to EPA and DHA manufacturer specifications and overall were ranked as containing intermediate levels of POP contaminants when compared to the other products analysed. Monitoring of the pollutant content of fish and krill oil products will become increasingly important with expanding regulatory specifications for chemical thresholds.

T1  - The National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP): Issues in Brief
AN  - 1641843732; 2011-760782
AB  - Under the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP), four federal agencies have responsibility for long-term earthquake risk reduction: the US Geological Survey (USGS), the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). These agencies assess US earthquake hazards, deliver notifications of seismic events, develop measures to reduce earthquake hazards, and conduct research to help reduce overall US vulnerability to earthquakes. Congressional oversight of the NEHRP program encompasses how well the four agencies coordinate their activities to address the earthquake hazard. Tables, Figures.

AN  - 1641843270; 2011-760781
AB  - Dark pools are relatively recent and controversial electronic stock trading alternatives to traditional exchanges, such as the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), and now account for about 15% of overall trading volume. A dark pool is a type of alternative trading system (ATS), a broker-dealer who matches the stock trading orders of multiple buyers and sellers outside of exchanges. Orders sent to dark pools to buy or sell certain stocks are not publicly displayed. Pros and Cons of dark pools are at the center of a contentious policy debate. Tables.

AB  - Leaders of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's (NATO) 28 member states will meet in Wales for the alliance's 2014 summit. Some analysts portray the summit as an opportunity to consider a possible strategic shift for NATO, away from the broad, 'out of area' focus embodied by the Afghanistan mission, toward a more narrow focus on territorial defense and deterrence, largely in response to a resurgent Russia. This report provides an overview of the summit's main agenda items and expected outcomes, highlighting key challenges, US policy priorities, and potential issues for Congress. Tables, Appendixes.

T1  - Risks and Benefits of Green Spaces for Children: A Cross-Sectional Study of Associations with Sedentary Behavior, Obesity, Asthma, and Allergy
AN  - 1642627427; 21201997
AB  - Background: Green spaces have been associated with both health benefits and risks in children; however, available evidence simultaneously investigating these conflicting influences, especially in association with different types of greenness, is scarce. Objectives: We aimed to simultaneously evaluate health benefits and risks associated with different types of greenness in children, in terms of sedentary behavior (represented by excessive screen time), obesity, current asthma, and allergic rhinoconjunctivitis. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of a population-based sample of 3,178 schoolchildren (9-12 years old) in Sabadell, Spain, in 2006. Information on outcomes and covariates was obtained by questionnaire. We measured residential surrounding greenness as the average of satellite-derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) in buffers of 100 m, 250 m, 500 m, and 1,000 m around each home address. Residential proximity to green spaces was defined as living within 300 m of a forest or a park, as separate variables. We used logistic regression models to estimate associations separately for each exposure-outcome pair, adjusted for relevant covariates. Results: An interquartile range increase in residential surrounding greenness was associated with 11-19% lower relative prevalence of overweight/obesity and excessive screen time, but was not associated with current asthma and allergic rhinoconjunctivitis. Similarly, residential proximity to forests was associated with 39% and 25% lower relative prevalence of excessive screen time and overweight/obesity, respectively, but was not associated with current asthma. In contrast, living close to parks was associated with a 60% higher relative prevalence of current asthma, but had only weak negative associations with obesity/overweight or excessive screen time. Conclusion: We observed two separable patterns of estimated health benefits and risks associated with different types of greenness.

AB  - Ebola virus disease (Ebola or EVD) is spreading because the health systems in the affected countries are ill-equipped to undertake requisite containment and disease surveillance measures. Debate in the US has ensued regarding entry and exit rights of people infected with communicable diseases; whether the international community (including the US) had responded early and effectively enough to contain the virus; the appropriate use of experimental drugs, including how to choose recipients of scarce and sometimes costly drug supplies, and how to arrange dispensing to allow analysis of safety and effectiveness; and feasible approaches to accelerating drug and vaccine development.

T1  - Bills of Attainder: The Constitutional Implications of Congress Legislating Narrowly
AN  - 1641843517; 2011-760784
AB  - On occasion, Congress exercises its legislative authority regarding a specified individual, entity, or identifiable group in such a way as to raise constitutional concerns. In particular, the US Constitution expressly prohibits the federal government from enacting bills of attainder, defined by the Supreme Court as a "law that legislatively determines guilt and inflicts punishment upon an identifiable individual without provision of the protections of a judicial trial." The basis for the prohibition arises from the separation of powers concern that the enforcement of a bill of attainder would allow Congress to usurp the power of the judicial branch. Tables.

In recent years, attention has been focused on alternative investment practices in an effort to increase the interest earnings of the trust funds, among other goals. This report describes Social Security trust fund investment practices under current law. Tables.

T1  - Genistein Disrupts Glucocorticoid Receptor Signaling in Human Uterine Endometrial Ishikawa Cells
AN  - 1654686363; PQ0001052570
AB  - Background: The link between environmental estrogen exposure and defects in the female reproductive tract is well established. The phytoestrogen genistein is able to modulate uterine estrogen receptor (ER) activity, and dietary exposure is associated with uterine pathologies. Regulation of stress and immune functions by the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is also an integral part of maintaining reproductive tract function; disruption of GR signaling by genistein may also have a role in the adverse effects of genistein. Objective: We evaluated the transcriptional response to genistein in Ishikawa cells and investigated the effects of genistein on GR-mediated target genes. Methods: We used Ishikawa cells as a model system to identify novel targets of genistein and the synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone through whole genome microarray analysis. Common gene targets were defined and response patterns verified by quantitative real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. The mechanism of transcriptional antagonism was determined for select genes. Results: Genistein regulated numerous genes in Ishikawa cells independently of estradiol, and the response to coadministration of genistein and dexamethasone was unique compared with the response to either estradiol or dexamethasone alone. Furthermore, genistein altered glucocorticoid regulation of GR target genes. In a select set of genes, co-regulation by dexamethasone and genistein was found to require both GR and ER alpha signaling, respectively. Conclusions: Using Ishikawa cells, we observed that exposure to genistein resulted in distinct changes in gene expression and unique differences in the GR transcriptome.

T1  - Clean Coal Loan Guarantees and Tax Incentives: Issues in Brief
AN  - 1641843687; 2011-760787
AB  - This report discusses certain federal financial incentive mechanisms for "clean coal" commercial projects; namely, loan guarantees and tax incentives. Both loan guarantees and tax incentives have been available to the private sector for clean coal activities following enactment of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT05, P.L. 109-58). At issue for Congress is the extent to which the private sector has used these financial tools -- and whether they are the right tools -- to develop the technology needed for reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuel power plants while continuing to use available domestic coal reserves for electricity generation.

T1  - Phylogenomic Resolution of the Class Ophiuroidea Unlocks a Global Microfossil Record
AN  - 1627977132; 20907258
AB  - Our understanding of the origin, evolution, and biogeography of seafloor fauna is limited because we have insufficient spatial and temporal data to resolve underlying processes [1]. The abundance and wide distribution of modern and disarticulated fossil Ophiuroidea [2], including brittle stars and basket stars, make them an ideal model system for global marine biogeography if we have the phylogenetic framework necessary to link extant and fossil morphology in an evolutionary context. Here we construct a phylogeny from a highly complete 425-gene, 61-taxa transcriptome-based data set covering 15 of the 18 ophiuroid families and representatives of all extant echinoderm classes. We calibrate our phylogeny with a series of novel fossil discoveries from the early Mesozoic. We confirm the traditional paleonto-logical view that ophiuroids are sister to the asteroids and date the crown group Ophiuroidea to the mid-Permian (270 + or - 30 mega-annum). We refute all historical classification schemes of the Ophiuroidea based on gross structural characters but find strong congruence with schemes based on lateral arm plate microstructure [3,4] and the temporal appearance of various plate morphologies in the fossil record. The verification that these microfossils contain phylogenetically informative characters unlocks their potential to advance our understanding of marine biogeographical processes.

T1  - Controlled nanodimensional supramolecular self-assembly of tetra-alkylated naphthalene diimide derivatives.
AN  - 1554472131; 24864034
AB  - Construction of thermodynamically stable nanostructures on the nano- to millimeter scales through noncovalent bonding plays an important role in material science. The self-assembly of tetra-alkylamino core-substituted naphthalene diimides (cNDIs) with variable alkyl chains (C8H17, C12H25, and C16H33) added on to the core leads to the formation of a variety of controlled morphologies and well-defined nanostructures. Such structures include nanorods, vesicular, belts, twisted ribbons, and donutlike morphologies (formed in CHCl3/MeOH and CHCl3/hexane mixtures) generated through solvophobic control. UV/Vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy demonstrate molecular aggregation in solution. Furthermore, SEM was employed to visualize the supramolecular self-assembled nanostructures. The growth of these structures is mainly due to packing of hydrophobic alkyl chains and π-π stacking of the cNDI core. The present study paves the way to rational and controlled designs of nanostructures made of optically active dyes (naphthalene diimide); this may open a new avenue towards tuning nanodimensional morphology. © 2014 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

AB  - US attention to terrorism in Latin America intensified after the September 2001 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, with an increase in bilateral and regional cooperation. In its 2013 Country Reports on Terrorism, the State Department maintained that the majority of terrorist attacks in the Western Hemisphere were committed by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). The State Department asserted that Latin American governments made modest improvements in their counterterrorism capabilities and border security, but that for some countries, corruption, weak government institutions, insufficient interagency cooperation, weak or nonexistent legislation, and a lack of resources impeded progress.

AB  - A 'pit' is the plutonium 'trigger' of a thermonuclear weapon. During the Cold War, the Rocky Flats Plant (CO) made up to 2,000 pits per year (ppy), but ceased operations in 1989. Since then, the Department of Energy (DOE) has made at most 11 ppy for the stockpile, yet the Department of Defense stated that it needs DOE to have a capacity of 50 to 80 ppy to extend the life of certain weapons and for other purposes. This report focuses on 80 ppy, the upper end of this range. Tables, Figures, Appendixes.

T1  - Perfluorochemicals and Human Semen Quality: The LIFE Study
AN  - 1654688775; PQ0001052566
AB  - Background: The relation between persistent environmental chemicals and semen quality is evolving, although limited data exist for men recruited from general populations. Objectives: We examined the relation between perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) and semen quality among 501 male partners of couples planning pregnancy. Methods: Using population-based sampling strategies, we recruited 501 couples discontinuing contraception from two U.S. geographic regions from 2005 through 2009. Baseline interviews and anthropometric assessments were conducted, followed by blood collection for the quantification of seven serum PFCs (perfluorosulfonates, perfluorocarboxylates, and perfluorosulfonamides) using tandem mass spectrometry. Men collected a baseline semen sample and another approximately 1 month later. Semen samples were shipped with freezer packs, and analyses were performed on the day after collection. We used linear regression to estimate the difference in each semen parameter associated with a one unit increase in the natural log-transformed PFC concentration after adjusting for confounders and modeling repeated semen samples. Sensitivity analyses included optimal Box-Cox transformation of semen quality end points. Results: Six PFCs [2-(N-methyl-perfluorooctane sulfonamido) acetate (Me-PFOSA-AcOH), perfluorodecanoate (PFDeA), perfluorononanoate (PFNA), perfluorooctane sulfonamide (PFOSA), perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA)] were associated with 17 semen quality end points before Box-Cox transformation. PFOSA was associated with smaller sperm head area and perimeter, a lower percentage of DNA stainability, and a higher percentage of bicephalic and immature sperm. PFDeA, PFNA, PFOA, and PFOS were associated with a lower percentage of sperm with coiled tails. Conclusions: Select PFCs were associated with certain semen end points, with the most significant associations observed for PFOSA but with results in varying directions.

T1  - Modification of the Association between PM10 and Lung Function Decline by Cadherin 13 Polymorphisms in the SAPALDIA Cohort: A Genome-Wide Interaction Analysis
AN  - 1654683051; PQ0001052567
AB  - Background: Both air pollution and genetic variation have been shown to affect lung function. Their interaction has not been studied on a genome-wide scale to date. Objectives: We aimed to identify, in an agnostic fashion, genes that modify the association between long-term air pollution exposure and annual lung function decline in an adult population-based sample. Methods: A two-stage genome-wide interaction study was performed. The discovery (n = 763) and replication (n = 3,896) samples were derived from the multi-center SAPALDIA cohort (Swiss Cohort Study on Air Pollution and Lung Disease in Adults). Annual rate of decline in the forced mid-expiratory flow (FEF25-75%) was the main end point. Multivariate linear regression analyses were used to identify potential multiplicative interactions between genotypes and 11-year cumulative PM10 exposure. Results: We identified a cluster of variants intronic to the CDH13 gene as the only locus with genome-wide significant interactions. The strongest interaction was observed for rs2325934 (p = 8.8 10-10). Replication of the interaction between this CDH13 variant and cumulative PM10 exposure on annual decline in FEF25-75% was successful (p = 0.008). The interaction was not sensitive to adjustment for smoking or body weight. Conclusions: CDH13 is functionally linked to the adipokine adiponectin, an inflammatory regulator. Future studies need to confirm the interaction and assess how the result relates to previously observed interactions between air pollution and obesity on respiratory function.

T1  - Incense Use and Cardiovascular Mortality among Chinese in Singapore: The Singapore Chinese Health Study
AN  - 1642631389; 21201990
AB  - Background: Incense burning is common in many parts of the world. Although it is perceived that particulate matter from incense smoke is deleterious to health, there is no epidemiologic evidence linking domestic exposure to cardiovascular mortality. Objective: We examined the association between exposure to incense burning and cardiovascular mortality in the Singapore Chinese Health Study. Methods: We enrolled a total of 63,257 Singapore Chinese 45-74 years of age during 1993-1998. All participants were interviewed in person to collect information about lifestyle behaviors, including the practice of burning incense at home. We identified cardiovascular deaths via record linkage with the nationwide death registry through 31 December 2011. Results: In this cohort, 76.9% were current incense users, and most of the current users (89.9%) had burned incense daily for greater than or equal to 20 years. Relative to noncurrent users, current users had a 12% higher risk of cardiovascular mortality [multivariable adjusted hazard ratio (HR) = 1.12; 95% CI: 1.04, 1.20]. The HR was 1.19 (95% CI: 1.03, 1.37) for mortality due to stroke and 1.10 (95% CI: 1.00, 1.21) for mortality due to coronary heart disease. The association between current incense use and cardiovascular mortality appeared to be limited to participants without a history of cardiovascular disease at baseline (HR = 1.16; 95% CI: 1.07, 1.26) but not linked to those with a history (HR = 1.00; 95% CI: 0.86, 1.17). In addition, the association was stronger in never-smokers (HR = 1.12; 95% CI: 1.02, 1.23) and former smokers (HR = 1.19; 95% CI: 1.00, 1.42) than in current smokers (HR = 1.05; 95% CI: 0.91, 1.22). Conclusions: Long-term exposure to incense burning in the home environment was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality in the study population.

T1  - Mitochondria, Energetics, Epigenetics, and Cellular Responses to Stress
AN  - 1642628401; 21201989
AB  - Background: Cells respond to environmental stressors through several key pathways, including response to reactive oxygen species (ROS), nutrient and ATP sensing, DNA damage response (DDR), and epigenetic alterations. Mitochondria play a central role in these pathways not only through energetics and ATP production but also through metabolites generated in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, as well as mitochondria-nuclear signaling related to mitochondria morphology, biogenesis, fission/fusion, mitophagy, apoptosis, and epigenetic regulation. Objectives: We investigated the concept of bidirectional interactions between mitochondria and cellular pathways in response to environmental stress with a focus on epigenetic regulation, and we examined DNA repair and DDR pathways as examples of biological processes that respond to exogenous insults through changes in homeostasis and altered mitochondrial function. Methods: The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences sponsored the Workshop on Mitochondria, Energetics, Epigenetics, Environment, and DNA Damage Response on 25-26 March 2013. Here, we summarize key points and ideas emerging from this meeting. Discussion: A more comprehensive understanding of signaling mechanisms (cross-talk) between the mitochondria and nucleus is central to elucidating the integration of mitochondrial functions with other cellular response pathways in modulating the effects of environmental agents. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of mitochondrial functions in epigenetic regulation and DDR with environmental stress. Development and application of novel technologies, enhanced experimental models, and a systems-type research approach will help to discern how environmentally induced mitochondrial dysfunction affects key mechanistic pathways. Conclusions: Understanding mitochondria-cell signaling will provide insight into individual responses to environmental hazards, improving prediction of hazard and susceptibility to environmental stressors.

T1  - Individual Mandate under ACA
AN  - 1650527081; 2011-770433
AB  - This report describes the individual mandate as established under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The report also discusses the ACA reporting requirements designed, in part, to assist individuals in providing evidence of having met the mandate. Beginning in 2014, individuals are required to maintain minimum essential coverage for themselves and their dependents -- Some individuals are exempt from the mandate and the penalty, while others may receive financial assistance to help them pay for the cost of health insurance coverage and the costs associated with using health care services.

T1  - Molecular Signaling Network Motifs Provide a Mechanistic Basis for Cellular Threshold Responses
AN  - 1642630097; 21201988
AB  - Background: Increasingly, there is a move toward using in vitro toxicity testing to assess human health risk due to chemical exposure. As with in vivo toxicity testing, an important question for in vitro results is whether there are thresholds for adverse cellular responses. Empirical evaluations may show consistency with thresholds, but the main evidence has to come from mechanistic considerations. Objectives: Cellular response behaviors depend on the molecular pathway and circuitry in the cell and the manner in which chemicals perturb these circuits. Understanding circuit structures that are inherently capable of resisting small perturbations and producing threshold responses is an important step towards mechanistically interpreting in vitro testing data. Methods: Here we have examined dose-response characteristics for several biochemical network motifs. These network motifs are basic building blocks of molecular circuits underpinning a variety of cellular functions, including adaptation, homeostasis, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. For each motif, we present biological examples and models to illustrate how thresholds arise from specific network structures. Discussion and Conclusion: Integral feedback, feedforward, and transcritical bifurcation motifs can generate thresholds. Other motifs (e.g., proportional feedback and ultrasensitivity)produce responses where the slope in the low-dose region is small and stays close to the baseline. Feedforward control may lead to nonmonotonic or hormetic responses. We conclude that network motifs provide a basis for understanding thresholds for cellular responses. Computational pathway modeling of these motifs and their combinations occurring in molecular signaling networks will be a key element in new risk assessment approaches based on in vitro cellular assays.

T1  - Implementation of Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS): Issues for Congress
AN  - 1641844529; 2011-760668
AB  - The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) implements the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) regulations, which regulate security at high-risk facilities possessing more than certain amounts of one or more chemicals of interest. This report presents a historical overview of program performance to date and identifies an ongoing gap between the number of facilities that have received final risk tier assignments and the total number of regulated facilities. This makes it appear likely that DHS will not have inspected or approved site security plans for some portion of the regulated facility universe for at least several years. Tables, Figures.

T1  - Compensated Work Sharing Arrangements (Short-Time Compensation) as an Alternative to Layoffs
AN  - 1650526853; 2011-770436
AB  - Short-time compensation (STC) -- or work sharing -- within the federal-state unemployment compensation (UC) system provides pro-rated unemployment benefits to workers whose hours have been reduced in lieu of a layoff. STC may help a firm and workers during an economic downturn or periods when a temporary reduction in work hours is necessary. The STC program has never reached many workers because of a combination of difficulty the US Department of Labor (DOL) has had in implementing the 1992 authorizing legislation, lack of awareness on the part of employers, unsuitability of work sharing arrangements for some firms or workers, and costs of the program.

AB  - The federal mail and wire fraud statutes outlaw schemes to defraud that involve the use of mail or wire communications. Both condemn fraudulent conduct that may also come within the reach of other federal criminal statutes. Both may serve as racketeering and money laundering predicate offenses. Both are punishable by imprisonment for not more than 20 years; for not more than 30 years, if the victim is a financial institution or the offense is committed in the context of major disaster or emergency. Both entitle their victims to restitution, and both may result in the forfeiture of property. Tables, Appendixes.

T1  - Prenatal Organochlorine and Methylmercury Exposure and Memory and Learning in School-Age Children in Communities Near the New Bedford Harbor Superfund Site, Massachusetts
AN  - 1635016366; 21004983
AB  - Background: Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), organochlorine pesticides, and methylmercury (MeHg) are environmentally persistent with adverse effects on neurodevelopment. However, especially among populations with commonly experienced low levels of exposure, research on neurodevelopmental effects of these toxicants has produced conflicting results. Objectives: We assessed the association of low-level prenatal exposure to these contaminants with memory and learning. Methods: We studied 393 children, born between 1993 and 1998 to mothers residing near a PCB-contaminated harbor in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Cord serum PCB, DDE (dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene), and maternal peripartum hair mercury (Hg) levels were measured to estimate prenatal exposure. Memory and learning were assessed at 8 years of age (range, 7-11 years) using the Wide Range Assessment of Memory and Learning (WRAML), age-standardized to a mean plus or minus SD of 100 plus or minus 15. Associations with each WRAML index-Visual Memory, Verbal Memory, and Learning-were examined with multivariable linear regression, controlling for potential confounders. Results: Although cord serum PCB levels were low (sum of four PCBs: mean, 0.3 ng/g serum; range, 0.01-4.4), hair Hg levels were typical of the U.S. fish-eating population (mean, 0.6 mu g/g; range, 0.3-5.1). In multivariable models, each microgram per gram increase in hair Hg was associated with, on average, decrements of -2.8 on Visual Memory (95% CI: -5.0, -0.6, p = 0.01), -2.2 on Learning (95% CI: -4.6, 0.2, p = 0.08), and -1.7 on Verbal Memory (95% CI: -3.9, 0.6, p = 0.14). There were no significant adverse associations of PCBs or DDE with WRAML indices. Conclusions: These results support an adverse relationship between low-level prenatal MeHg exposure and childhood memory and learning, particularly visual memory.

AB  - There are three primary ways for a household to receive broadcast television signals: by using an individual antenna that receives broadcast signals directly over-the-air from a television station; by subscribing to a cable television service that brings a wire into the house that carries the retransmitted signals of broadcast stations; or by subscribing to a satellite television service that puts a dish on the roof that receives the retransmitted signals of broadcast stations. In 2013, there were an estimated 118 million television households and 101 million multichannel video programming distributor (MPVD) subscribers in the US. Tables.

AB  - China's actions for asserting and defending its maritime territorial and exclusive economic zone (EEZ) claims in the East China (ECS) and South China Sea (SCS) have heightened concerns among observers that ongoing disputes over these waters and some of the islands within them could lead to a crisis or conflict between China and a neighboring country, and that the US could be drawn into such a crisis or conflict. Decisions that Congress makes on these issues could affect US political and economic interests in the Asia-Pacific region and US military operations in the Asia-Pacific region and elsewhere.

T1  - Preconception Maternal and Paternal Exposure to Persistent Organic Pollutants and Birth Size: The LIFE Study
AN  - 1654685973; PQ0001052575
AB  - Background: Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are developmental toxicants, but the impact of both maternal and paternal exposures on offspring birth size is largely unexplored. Objective: We examined associations between maternal and paternal serum concentrations of 63 POPs, comprising five major classes of pollutants, with birth size measures. Methods: Parental serum concentrations of 9 organochlorine pesticides, 1 polybrominated biphenyl (PBB), 7 perfluoroalkyl chemicals (PFCs), 10 polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and 36 polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were measured before conception for 234 couples. Differences in birth weight, length, head circumference, and ponderal index were estimated using multiple linear regression per 1-SD increase in natural log-transformed (ln-transformed) chemicals. Models were estimated separately for each parent and adjusted for maternal age, maternal prepregnancy body mass index (kilograms per meter squared) and other confounders, and all models included an interaction term between infant sex and each chemical. Results: Among girls (n = 117), birth weight was significantly lower (range, 84-195 g) in association with a 1-SD increase in ln-transformed maternal serum concentrations of DDT, PBDE congeners 28 and 183, and paternal serum concentrations of PBDE-183 and PCB-167. Among boys (n = 113), maternal (PCBs 138, 153, 167, 170, 195, and 209 and perfluorooctane sulfonamide) and paternal (PCBs 172 and 195) serum concentrations of several POPs were statistically associated with lower birth weight (range, 98-170 g), whereas paternal concentrations of PBDEs (66, 99) were associated with higher birth weight. Differences in offspring head circumference, length, and ponderal index were also associated with parental exposures. Conclusions: Preconceptional maternal and paternal concentrations of several POPs were associated with statistically significant differences in birth size among offspring.

AN  - 1650527041; 2011-770438
AB  - The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant provides states, territories, and Indian tribes with federal grants for benefits and services intended to ameliorate the effects and address the root causes of child poverty. This 1996 welfare reform law is most associated with policies such as time limits and work requirements that sought to address concerns about 'welfare dependency' of single mothers who received cash assistance. This report examines the characteristics of the TANF cash assistance caseload in FY2011 and compares it with selected post-welfare reform years (FY2001 and FY2006) and pre-welfare reform years (FY1988 and FY1994).

T1  - Association of Arsenic and Metals with Concentrations of 25-Hydroxyvitamin D and 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D among Adolescents in Torreon, Mexico
AN  - 1635016123; 21004981
AB  - Background: Limited data suggest that lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and uranium (U) may disrupt vitamin D metabolism and inhibit production of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D], the active vitamin D metabolite, from 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] in the kidney. Objectives: We evaluated the association between blood lead (BPb) and urine arsenic (As), Cd, molybdenum (Mo), thallium (Tl), and U with markers of vitamin D metabolism [25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)2D]. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 512 adolescents in Torreon, a town in Mexico with a Pb smelter near residential areas. BPb was measured using atomic absorption spectrometry. Urine As, Cd, Mo, Tl, and U were measured using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Serum 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)2D were measured using a chemiluminescent immunoassay and a radioimmunoassay, respectively. Multivariable linear models with vitamin D markers as the outcome were used to estimate associations of BPb and creatinine-corrected urine As and metal concentrations with serum vitamin D concentrations, controlling for age, sex, adiposity, smoking, socioeconomic status, and time outdoors. Results: Serum 25(OH)D was positively associated with urine Mo and Tl [1.5 (95% CI: 0.4, 2.6) and 1.2 (95% CI: 0.3, 2.1) ng/mL higher with a doubling of exposure, respectively]. Serum 1,25(OH)2D was positively associated with urine As and U [3.4 (95% CI: 0.9, 5.9) and 2.2 (95% CI: 0.7, 3.7) pg/mL higher, respectively], with little change in associations after additional adjustment for serum 25(OH)D. Pb and Cd were not associated with 25(OH)D or 1,25(OH)2D concentrations. Conclusions: Overall, our findings did not support a negative effect of As or metal exposures on serum 1,25(OH)2D concentrations. Additional research is needed to confirm positive associations between serum 1,25(OH)2D and urine U and As concentrations and to clarify potential underlying mechanisms.

T1  - Social Security: Calculation and History of Taxing Benefits
AN  - 1650527017; 2011-770439
AB  - Before 1984, Social Security benefits were exempt from the federal income tax. Congress then enacted legislation to tax a portion of those benefits, with the share gradually increased as a person's income rose above a specified income threshold. In 1993, a second income threshold was added that increased the share of benefits that are taxable. Because the income thresholds used to determine the share of benefits that is taxable are not indexed for inflation or wage growth, income taxes on benefits will become an increasingly important source of income for Social Security and Medicare.

T1  - Regional Monetary Policy: An Australian Perspective
AN  - 1667938641; 2011-741529
AB  - A structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) model for Australia is utilized to identify the domestic impacts of common monetary policy shocks on national and state business cycles and to consider the role of state diversification disparities for observed differences in responses to monetary policy innovations. Western Australia and Queensland differ to other states in their response to common shocks and evidence suggests this may be due to differences in their economic geographies. Overall, the Australian monetary union has become increasingly reliant on fiscal transfers particularly from Western Australia in the past two decades. This emphasizes the importance of a political union underpinning a successful monetary union. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - The Near Edge Structure of Hexagonal Boron Nitride
AN  - 1846409591; PQ0003866185
AB  - Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a promising material for a range of applications including deep-ultraviolet light emission. Despite extensive experimental studies, some fundamental aspects of hBN remain unknown, such as the type of stacking faults likely to be present and their influence on electronic properties. In this paper, different stacking configurations of hBN are investigated using CASTEP, a pseudopotential density functional theory code. AB-b stacking faults, in which B atoms are positioned directly on top of one another while N atoms are located above the center of BN hexagons, are shown to be likely in conventional AB stacked hBN. Bandstructure calculations predict a single direct bandgap structure that may be responsible for the discrepancies in bandgap type observed experimentally. Calculations of the near edge structure showed that different stackings of hBN are distinguishable using measurements of core-loss edges in X-ray absorption and electron energy loss spectroscopy. AB stacking was found to best reproduce features in the experimental B and N K-edges. The calculations also show that splitting of the 1s to [pi]* peak in the B K-edge, recently observed experimentally, may be accounted for by the presence of AB-b stacking faults.

T1  - Understanding food security issues in remote Western Australian Indigenous communities
AN  - 1684418248; 2011-766932
AB  - Issue addressed: Food insecurity in remote Western Australian (WA) Indigenous communities. This study explored remote community store managers' views on issues related to improving food security in order to inform health policy. Method: A census of all remote WA Indigenous community store managers was conducted in 2010. Telephone interviews sought managers' perceptions of community food insecurity, problems with their store, and potential policy options for improving the supply, accessibility, affordability and consumption of nutritious foods. Descriptive analyses were conducted using SPSS for Windows version 17.0. Results: Managers stated that freight costs and irregular deliveries contributed to high prices and a limited range of foods. Poor store infrastructure, compromised cold chain logistics, and commonly occurring power outages affected food quality. Half of the managers said there was hunger in their community because people did not have enough money to buy food. The role of nutritionists beyond a clinical and educational role was not understood. Conclusions: Food security interventions in remote communities need to take into consideration issues such as freight costs, transport and low demand for nutritious foods. Store managers provide important local knowledge regarding the development and implementation of food security interventions. So what? Agencies acting to address the issue of food insecurity in remote WA Indigenous communities should heed the advice of community store managers that high food prices, poor quality and limited availability are mainly due to transport inefficiencies and freight costs. Improving healthy food affordability in communities where high unemployment and low household income abound is fundamental to improving food security, yet presents a significant challenge.

T1  - Catalytic oxidation of organic pollutants on pristine and surface nitrogen-modified carbon nanotubes with sulfate radicals
AN  - 1677941363; 20223987
AB  - Employing metal-free nanocarbons or carbonaceous materials as a catalyst for environmental water remediation is a promising clean approach because the green carbon materials can completely prevent the potential toxic metal leaching and secondary contamination to water body. This study reports that pristine multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) can effectively activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and peroxydisulfate (or persulfate, perdisulfate, PDS) to produce sulfate radicals for oxidation of phenol solutions. Surface nitrogen modification was conducted by a facile synthesis via annealing MWCNTs with ammonium nitrate at a low temperature and the nitrogen modified MWCNTs (N-CNT) was characterized by a variety of techniques. It was found that surface nitrogen modification of MWCNTs produced different effects on PMS and PDS activation. N-CNT can significantly improve the phenol degradation with PMS, but decrease the degradation efficiency with PDS. Reaction kinetics and the mechanism in catalytic oxidation of phenol solutions with sulfate radicals over CNT-based materials were discussed.

T1  - Comparative performance of philic and phobic oil-mist filters
AN  - 1671612175; 20235452
AB  - The evolution of pressure drop, drainage rate, saturation, and efficiency of combined philic, and phobic oil mist filters in real-time are examined. The experiments used four different filter configurations, with a combination of oleophobic and oleophilic fibrous filter media, and one oleophilic only reference. The effect of separating filter materials of differing wettability, with a mesh, was also explored. It was found that inclusion of a mesh between layers promoted increased drainage rates and resulted in a significantly lower pressure drop across the filter. The overall mass-based filtration efficiency was also slightly higher for the configurations containing the mesh. Conversely, re-entrainment of droplets from the rear face of the filter was only observed in filter configurations without the central mesh. Filters with oleophobic initial layers did not display a classical "depth filtration" pressure drop curve. The oleophobic media was found to possess lower steady-state saturation than oleophilic media. Additionally, the steady-state saturation of the oleophilic filter media, when placed at the rear of the filter, was lower when the central mesh was present. The saturation values were compared with recently published theory. copyright 2014 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 60: 2976-2984, 2014

T1  - Women in cabinet and public health spending: evidence across countries
AN  - 1667939016; 201507056
AB  - This article studies the effect of women's cabinet representation on public health policy outcomes. Based on a large sample of countries in the year 2000, the analysis shows that an increase in the share of women in cabinet is associated with an increase in public health spending. There is also an indication of a decrease in the gender gap in life expectancies in places with higher cabinet representation of women. The endogeneity of women's cabinet representation is accounted for by using the share of daughters that a national leader parents as an instrument. Adapted from the source document.

T1  - Public perceptions of cancer risk factors: a Western Australian study
AN  - 1665164450
AB  - Issue addressed: Peopleʼs perceptions of risk may influence health-related behaviours. The aim of this study was to investigate the perception of cancer risk factors among Western Australian adults in order to inform health promotion policies. Methods: Cross-sectional surveys of 2094 adults were undertaken in 2007/2008 in which respondents were asked whether they thought factors increased or decreased the risk of cancer. Factors included both established and unestablished risk factors for cancer. The distribution of perceptions was compared according to age and sex. Results: The study found high levels of endorsement for some unestablished risk factors (74-91%) and comparatively lower levels of endorsement for many established risk factors (33-80%). The established risk factors of smoking and asbestos received high levels of endorsement (94-98%). Conclusion: It appears that the alignment between scientifically established risk factors and the Western Australian publicʼs perception of cancer risk factors could be improved. So what? Health promotion strategies are needed to improve the publicʼs awareness of cancer risk factors. The high levels of endorsement attributed to unestablished risk factors highlight the need to dispel myths surrounding cancer and to reinforce the key factors in cancer prevention. Ongoing assessment of the alignment between community perceptions of cancer risk and the scientific evidence for cancer risk is important for guiding prioritisation within public health organisations.

T1  - Understanding food security issues in remote Western Australian Indigenous communities
AN  - 1665157796
AB  - Issue addressed: Food insecurity in remote Western Australian (WA) Indigenous communities. This study explored remote community store managersʼ views on issues related to improving food security in order to inform health policy. Method: A census of all remote WA Indigenous community store managers was conducted in 2010. Telephone interviews sought managersʼ perceptions of community food insecurity, problems with their store, and potential policy options for improving the supply, accessibility, affordability and consumption of nutritious foods. Descriptive analyses were conducted using SPSS for Windows version 17.0. Results: Managers stated that freight costs and irregular deliveries contributed to high prices and a limited range of foods. Poor store infrastructure, compromised cold chain logistics, and commonly occurring power outages affected food quality. Half of the managers said there was hunger in their community because people did not have enough money to buy food. The role of nutritionists beyond a clinical and educational role was not understood. Conclusions: Food security interventions in remote communities need to take into consideration issues such as freight costs, transport and low demand for nutritious foods. Store managers provide important local knowledge regarding the development and implementation of food security interventions. So what? Agencies acting to address the issue of food insecurity in remote WA Indigenous communities should heed the advice of community store managers that high food prices, poor quality and limited availability are mainly due to transport inefficiencies and freight costs. Improving healthy food affordability in communities where high unemployment and low household income abound is fundamental to improving food security, yet presents a significant challenge.

T1  - An exploratory study identifying where local government public health decision makers source their evidence for policy
AN  - 1665154377
AB  - Issue addressed: The Western Australian (WA) Public Health Bill will replace the antiquated Health Act 1911. One ofthe proposed clauses ofthe Bill requires all WA local governments to develop a Public Health Plan. The Bill states that Public Health Plans should be based on evidence from all levels, including national and statewide priorities, community needs, local statistical evidence, and stakeholder data. Methods: This exploratory study, which targeted 533 WA local government officers, aimed to identify the sources of evidence used to generate the list of public health risks to be included in local government Public Health Plans. Results: The top four sources identified for informing local policy were: observation of the consequences of the risks in the local community (24.5%), statewide evidence (17.6%), local evidence (17.6%) and coverage in local media (16.2%). Conclusions: This study confirms that both hard and soft data are used to Inform policy decisions at the local level. Therefore, the challenge that this study has highlighted is in the definition or constitution of evidence. So what? Evidence is critical to the process of sound policy development. This study highlights issues associated with what actually constitutes evidence in the policy development process at the local government level. With the exception of those who work in an extremely narrow field, it is difficult for local government officers, whose role includes policymaking, to read the vast amount of information that has been published in their area of expertise. For those who are committed to the notion of evidence-based policymaking, as advocated within the WA Public Health Bill, this presents a considerable challenge.

T1  - Gun Control Legislation in the 113th Congress
AN  - 1650526962; 2011-770442
AB  - The 113th Congress has been left to consider whether gun control legislation would be an appropriate policy response to Newtown, CT, and similar 'mass shooting' incidents. The Senate considered such legislation in April 2013, but it was not passed, while similar legislation has had no action in the House of Representatives. Congress also extended a ban on undetectable firearms for 10 years in December 2013; and in July 2014, the House passed several amendments to appropriations bills, which were supported by many gun rights advocates -- While the Senate leadership tabled a bill, rather than consider a wide-range of firearms-related amendments.

T1  - Decay of enteric microorganisms in biosolids-amended soil under wheat (Triticum aestivum) cultivation
AN  - 1647019443; 21255234
AB  - There is a growing need for better assessment of health risks associated with land-applied biosolids. This study investigated in-situ decay of seeded human adenovirus (HAdV), Salmonella enterica, Escherichia coli, and bacteriophage (MS2) in biosolids-amended soil under wheat cultivation. The biosolids seeded with microorganisms were placed in decay chambers which were then placed in the topsoil (10 cm depth) at three different sites. Sites were selected in arid wheat-growing regions of Australia with loamy-sand soil type (Western Australia) and sandy soil (South Australia). Seeded E. coli and S. enterica had a relatively short decay time (T90 = 4-56 days) in biosolids-amended soil compared to un-amended soil (T90 = 8-83 days). The decreasing soil moisture over the wheat-growing season significantly (P 180 days) during the winter in biosolids-amended soil. The stability of adenovirus suggests that consideration towards biosolids amendment frequency, time, rates and appropriate withholding periods are necessary for risk mitigation.

T1  - An exploratory study identifying where local government public health decision makers source their evidence for policy
AN  - 1642618718; 21055609
AB  - Issue addressed: The Western Australian (WA) Public Health Bill will replace the antiquated Health Act 1911. One ofthe proposed clauses ofthe Bill requires all WA local governments to develop a Public Health Plan. The Bill states that Public Health Plans should be based on evidence from all levels, including national and statewide priorities, community needs, local statistical evidence, and stakeholder data. Methods: This exploratory study, which targeted 533 WA local government officers, aimed to identify the sources of evidence used to generate the list of public health risks to be included in local government Public Health Plans. Results: The top four sources identified for informing local policy were: observation of the consequences of the risks in the local community (24.5%), statewide evidence (17.6%), local evidence (17.6%) and coverage in local media (16.2%). Conclusions: This study confirms that both hard and soft data are used to Inform policy decisions at the local level. Therefore, the challenge that this study has highlighted is in the definition or constitution of evidence. So what? Evidence is critical to the process of sound policy development. This study highlights issues associated with what actually constitutes evidence in the policy development process at the local government level. With the exception of those who work in an extremely narrow field, it is difficult for local government officers, whose role includes policymaking, to read the vast amount of information that has been published in their area of expertise. For those who are committed to the notion of evidence-based policymaking, as advocated within the WA Public Health Bill, this presents a considerable challenge.

T1  - Gender Equality Challenges to the REDD+ Initiative in Nepal
AN  - 1611627663; 20761475
AB  - Despite widespread gender issues in natural resource management and rural livelihoods strategies, there has been little study of how new development strategies, such as Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+), consider gender issues. Gender consideration in REDD+ is especially important in mountainous countries like Nepal, where the majority of the rural population, especially women and socioeconomically disadvantaged households, depend on forests for many of their subsistence needs. Any changes in forest access or use rights or rules as a result of REDD+ would impact marginalized people whose inclusion, voice, and access to and control over forest resources are influenced by deeply gendered power relations and socio-institutional practices in Nepali society. This article analyzes ways the REDD+ initiatives in Nepal have considered gender issues identified in earlier studies. The main finding is that the REDD+ policy process is inadequate to account for underlying power dynamics, and thus is unable to achieve equity goals. In the absence of accounting for power, the consideration of gender issues in forest management by explicit inclusion of women in the payment criteria and policy discussions within REDD+ programs, including the REDD+ payment pilot project, is insufficient to redress gender imbalances. Forest actors such as the government and other project implementers-including community institutions-lack strategies and responsibilities for applying REDD+ initiatives that are gender equitable and ensure REDD+ benefits and decision-making opportunities for women and other marginalized people. To tap the potential of REDD+ to contribute to both climate change mitigation and mountain development, efforts are needed to make REDD+ national strategy- and policy-making gender sensitive. The critical areas to be addressed in Nepal include framing the REDD+ strategy within the forest ministry's Gender and Social Inclusion Strategy 2008, and then by judicious implementation ensuring access of poor and disadvantaged women and men to forest resources, carbon funds, and decision-making roles in order to undermine entrenched unequal relations.

T1  - Gender Equality as a Key Strategy for Achieving Equitable and Sustainable Development in Mountains: The Case of the Hindu Kush-Himalayas
AN  - 1611625650; 20761485
AB  - The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) believes in a future where the mountain people of the Hindu Kush-Himalayas can experience enhanced livelihoods, equity, and social and environmental security; where they can adapt to environmental, socioeconomic, and climate change; and where future generations of mountain and downstream populations can enjoy the benefits and opportunities afforded by the region's natural endowment. ICIMOD is an intergovernmental center that develops and shares information and knowledge, facilitates learning, and uses innovation and effective communication to empower its eight regional member countries-Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Myanmar, Nepal, and Pakistan-and the women, men, and children living there. ICIMOD believes that interventions are most successful when they take into account the points of view of everyone in society, regardless of gender, caste, or ethnicity. Inclusiveness is the hallmark of ICIMOD's work.

T1  - Recipe for disruption: multiple recent arrivals of megachilid bees in Pacific archipelagos
AN  - 1560126264; 20552131
AB  - When examining how the ecosystems of remote islands have developed, it is important to know the timing of when various elements arrived and whether they then diversified. Our understanding of the histories behind the biodiverse south west Pacific (SWP) archipelagos is limited, and further impeded by the complex geological histories of this region. Previous studies of the SWP short-tongued halictine bee fauna suggest their presence is much younger than the geological ages of these archipelagos, which is surprising given their critical role as pollinators in other terrestrial ecosystems. The long-tongued megachilid bees represent a considerable proportion of the known bee species for the region, yet little is known of their origin. Here we use genetic diversity within mitochondrial DNA to infer the likely ages and origins of megachilid species from Vanuatu, Fiji, and Samoa. Our results indicate a very recent origin for megachilids in the SWP, with many species exhibiting small intraspecific genetic distances. Three species share almost identical haplotypes with specimens from Southeast Asia, suggesting multiple human-aided introductions. Combined with data from recent studies on other bee groups present in the region, our results have broad implications for how the Pacific island biota developed and how we should approach its management.

T1  - Shape-controlled activation of peroxymonosulfate by single crystal [alpha]-Mn sub(2)O sub(3) for catalytic phenol degradation in aqueous solution
AN  - 1554953691; 20224001
AB  - Shape selective reaction on crystallite particles is an important issue in catalytic reactions. In this investigation, Mn sub(2)O sub(3) crystals with different shapes were prepared and tested in activation of peroxymonosulfate to produce sulfate radicals for degradation of aqueous phenol. The Mn sub(2)O sub(3) shaped in cube, octahedra and truncated octahedra showed different activities in phenol degradation. Cubic Mn sub(2)O sub(3) presented the highest activity among the three catalysts with an order of Mn sub(2)O sub(3)-cubic > Mn sub(2)O sub(3)-octahedra > Mn sub(2)O sub(3)-truncated, attributed to high surface area and surface atoms arrangement. In addition, kinetic studies showed that phenol degradation on Mn sub(2)O sub(3)-cubic follows first-order kinetics with activation energy of 61.2kJ/mol.

T1  - Acacia, climate, and geochemistry in Australia
AN  - 1554948155; 20486808
AB  - Background and Aims: In anticipation of global climate change, the question of whether shifts in plant community composition (beta-diversity) are predictable from environmental variation is receiving considerable interest. Species strongly associated with local soil environments may be more vulnerable to climate change than species with a broad tolerance of soil conditions. Here we investigate relationships between climate, geochemistry and the distribution of Acacia over Australia. Methods: We use geostatistics to estimate total Ca, Mg, Na, Al, P, pH, and electrical conductivity at sites where Acacia species have been recorded in the Australian Virtual Herbarium database. We compare the median predicted geochemistry and reported substrate for individual species that appear associated with extreme conditions; this provides a partial evaluation of the predictions. We generate a site-by-species matrix by aggregating observations to the centroids of grid cells 100 km on edge, calculate diversity indices, and use numerical ecology methods (ordination, variation partitioning) to investigate the ecology of Acacia and its response to climatic and geochemical gradients. Results: Many species that tolerate extreme geochemical conditions are range restricted. Species in the genus Acacia are widely distributed across Australia but strong associations exist between species turnover and climate and geochemistry. Climate, pH, P, Na, and EC account for much of the variation in Acacia distribution over the continent, especially across southern Australia. Climate and geochemistry together account for half of the variation in species turnover of Acacia across Australia and for about 60-80 % in areas of high species richness. The unique contribution of geochemistry to variation in species turnover of Acacia is smaller than that of climate except in the most species rich areas. Conclusions: Climate is more important than geochemistry in explaining Acacia species distribution and turnover across northern Australia. Geochemical variables are important in explaining the occurrence of Acacia species where species richness is high in southern Australia-it is important to investigate this further with other genera. Aridification, which has driven some the observed extremes in geochemical concentrations, is a key process in landscape evolution as well as biogeography. This study of Acacia diversity and environmental conditions underscores Australia's place as a natural laboratory for evolutionary ecology and biogeography.

T1  - Nematode community composition in hydrothermal vent and adjacent non-vent fields around Myojin Knoll, a seamount on the Izu-Ogasawara Arc in the western North Pacific Ocean
AN  - 1554948141; 20489410
AB  - In contrast to specific large benthic invertebrates in chemosynthetic ecosystems such as hydrothermal vents, meiofaunal communities in such habitats have been reported to have strong taxonomic overlap with meiofauna in the adjacent "normal" environments. However, meiofauna have only recently been included in studies of those environments and detailed information on these communities is still rare. This is especially true in the Northwest Pacific Ocean, even though there are many seamounts with active vents in the calderas of the region. Nematode community composition at the genus level in sediments from a hydrothermal vent field in the caldera of Myojin Knoll (32 degree 06'N, 139 degree 52'E, depth 1,300 m), a seamount on the Izu-Ogasawara Arc, Japan, was investigated for the first time and was compared with adjacent non-vent areas inside and outside the caldera. Multivariate analyses showed that the composition of nematodes in the hydrothermal field was significantly different from that in the non-hydrothermal fields around the caldera. However, the common genera, such as Oxystomina, Pareudesmoscolex, Desmoscolex, and Microlaimus were found in two, or all three vent fields while their rank contributions differed among the three fields. When the data from Myojin Knoll were compared with those from other deep-sea vent environments in different regions (e.g., North Fiji Basin, East Pacific Rise, Mid-Atlantic Ridge), the nematode composition in the vent field of the Myojin caldera was more similar to that of the non-vent fields around the caldera than the composition in vent fields of other regions. These data from the Northwest Pacific Ocean also suggest the absence of long-range transport systems and local adaptations for meiofauna in hydrothermal vent fields.

T1  - Anthracnose on almond in Australia:disease progress and inoculum sources of Colletotrichum acutatum
AN  - 1554945085; 20482991
AB  - Anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum acutatum, is an important disease of almond and has caused significant economic losses in California, Israel and Australia. Anthracnose development was monitored for three growing seasons in an almond orchard in South Australia on two almond cultivars, Price and Nonpareil, with up to 80 % of fruit affected in 2004. Lesions, typical of anthracnose, formed on young developing fruit and symptoms continued to appear until the fruit were ca 20 mm long, after which no further lesions developed. Symptoms were observed on leaves, woody tissue showed signs of dieback, but blossom blight was not observed. Maximum disease incidenceperfor, man and Relative Area Under the Disease Progress Curve (RAUDPC) were significantly larger for Price than Nonpareil for each season, but differences in the apparent rates of infection for both cultivars were insignificant for the three growing seasons. The apparent rates of infection were correlated with rainfall and daily temperature for the three years combined but there was no correlation between maximum disease incidence or RAUDPC and these environmental parameters. Considerably more mummified fruit remained on the trees of cv. Price than Nonpareil each year; however, there was no correlation between the number of mummified fruit in one season and maximum disease incidence, RAUDPC or apparent rate of infection, in the following season. C. acutatum was recovered from mummified fruit, peduncles and bark, from both Price and Nonpareil, every month throughout a year-long sampling period. C. acutatum was also recovered from asymptomatic leaves, fruit, bark, buds and blossom, however, less frequently and at lower rates than from mummified fruit and peduncles. Recovery was consistently greater from Price than from Nonpareil for all tissues.

T1  - Pathogenic variation of Alternaria species associated with leaf blotch and fruit spot of apple in Australia
AN  - 1554942648; 20482992
AB  - Four Alternaria species groups (A. longipes, A. arborescens, A. alternata/A. tenuissima and A. tenuissima/A. mali) are associated with leaf blotch and fruit spot of apple in Australia. There is no information on the variability of pathogenicity among the species and isolates within each species causing leaf blotch or fruit spot. We used a detached leaf assay and an in planta fruit inoculation assay to determine the pathogenicity and virulence of the four Alternaria species. Our results showed that isolates within the same species were not specific to either leaf or fruit tissue and showed great variability in pathogenicity and virulence, indicating cross-pathogenicity, which may be isolate dependent rather than species dependent. Generally, virulence of A. tenuissima and A. alternata isolates on leaf and fruit was higher than other species. Isolates of all species groups were pathogenic on leaves of different cultivars, but pathogenicity on fruit of different cultivars varied among isolates and species. Implications of our findings on prevalence of the diseases in different apple-producing regions in Australia and the development of targeted disease management of the diseases are discussed.

T1  - Comparison of Thraustochytrids Aurantiochytrium sp., Schizochytrium sp., Thraustochytrium sp., and Ulkenia sp. for Production of Biodiesel, Long-Chain Omega-3 Oils, and Exopolysaccharide
AN  - 1554942385; 20480343
AB  - Heterotrophic growth of thraustochytrids has potential in coproducing biodiesel for transportation, as well as producing a feedstock for omega-3 long-chain ( greater than or equal to C20) polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA), especially docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) for use in nutraceuticals. In this study, we compared eight new endemic Australian thraustochytrid strains from the genera Aurantiochytrium, Schizochytrium, Thraustochytrium, and Ulkenia for the synthesis of exopolysaccharide (EPS), in addition to biodiesel and LC-PUFA. Aurantiochytrium sp. strains readily utilized glucose for biomass production, and increasing glucose from 2 to 4 % w/v of the culture medium resulted in increased biomass yield by an average factor of 1.7. Ulkenia sp. strain TC 010 and Thraustochytrium sp. strain TC 033 did not utilize glucose, while Schizochytrium sp. strain TC 002 utilized less than half the glucose available by day 14, and Thraustochytrium sp. strain TC 004 utilized glucose at 4 % w/v but not 2 % w/v of the culture suggesting a threshold requirement between these values. Across all strains, increasing glucose from 2 to 4 % w/v of the culture medium resulted in increased total fatty acid methyl ester content by an average factor of 1.9. Despite an increasing literature demonstrating the capacity of thraustochytrids for DHA synthesis, the production of EPS from these organisms is not well documented. A broad range of EPS yields was observed. The maximum yield of EPS was observed for Schizochytrium sp. strain TC 002 (299 mg/L). High biomass-producing strains that also have high lipid and high EPS yield may be better candidates for commercial production of biofuels and other coproducts.

T1  - Metabolic and safety issues for multiple sclerosis pharmacotherapy--opportunities for personalised medicine.
AN  - 1545424843; 24910969
AB  - A number of disease-modifying therapies have become available to treat multiple sclerosis (MS) in recent years. As the effects of these medications are unpredictable and they are generally used for a number of years, the selection of the most appropriate disease-modifying agent must be based on the long-term efficacy and toxicity profile, thus strategies to personalise treatment to optimise responses may be potentially very useful.
          This review provides an overview of the efficacy and toxicity of disease-modifying agents used in MS and specifically discusses any metabolic side effects and advances in personalising the use of each of these agents. Medline and EMBASE were searched for any articles regarding the efficacy, toxicity and personalised use of the medicines discussed in this review. Disease-modifying agents used to treat MS differ substantially in their efficacy and toxicity profile, but metabolic side effects appear to be limited to alemtuzumab, teriflunomide and IFN-β. Although personalised treatment strategies to assist in selection of the most appropriate disease-modifying agent for MS are limited, there is substantial potential to use genetic sub-studies of the many recent trials investigating disease-modifying agents to develop personalised treatment strategies.

T1  - Polyphasic identification of cyanobacterial isolates from Australia.
AN  - 1531953517; 24810741
AB  - Reliable identification of cyanobacterial isolates has significant socio-economic implications as many bloom-forming species affect the aesthetics and safety of drinking water, through the production of taste and odour compounds or toxic metabolites. The limitations of morphological identification have promoted the application of molecular tools, and encouraged the adoption of combined (polyphasic) approaches that include both microscopy- and DNA-based analyses. In this context, the rapid expansion of available sequence data is expected to allow increasingly reliable identification of cyanobacteria, and ultimately resolve current discrepancies between the two approaches. In the present study morphological and molecular characterisations of cyanobacterial isolates (n = 39), collected from various freshwater sites in Australia, were compared. Sequences were obtained for the small ribosomal subunit RNA gene (16S rDNA) (n = 36), the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase gene (rpoC1) (n = 22), and the phycocyanin operon, with its intergenic spacer region (cpcBA-IGS) (n = 19). Phylogenetic analyses identified three cyanobacterial orders: the Chroococcales (n = 8), Oscillatoriales (n = 6), and Nostocales (n = 25). Interestingly, multiple novel genotypes were identified, with 22% of the strains (17/77) having <95% similarity to available sequences in GenBank. Morphological and molecular data were in agreement at the species level for only 26% of the isolates obtained (10/39), while agreement at the genus level was obtained for 31% (12/39). Confident identification of the remaining 44% of the strains (17/39) beyond the order level was not possible. The present study demonstrates that, despite the taxonomic revisions, and advances in molecular-, and bioinformatics-tools, the lack of reliable morphological features, culture-induced pleomorphism, and proportion of misidentified or poorly described sequences in GenBank, still represent significant factors, impeding the confident identification of cyanobacteria species.

T1  - Cuba: U.S. Policy and Issues for the 113th Congress
AN  - 1735655793; 2011-899442
AB  - Cuba remains a one-party communist state with a poor record on human rights. The country's political succession in 2006 from the long-ruling Fidel Castro to his brother Raul was characterized by a remarkable degree of stability. Raul Castro has implemented a number of gradual economic policy changes over the past several years, including an expansion of self-employment. A party congress held in April 2011 laid out numerous economic goals that, if implemented, could significantly alter Cuba's state-dominated economic model. Few observers, however, expect the government to ease its tight control over the political system. Tables, Figures, Appendixes.

T1  - NATO: Response to the Crisis in Ukraine and Security Concerns in Central and Eastern Europe
AN  - 1735653735; 2011-899443
AB  - Russia's actions in Ukraine and its alleged role in the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 have caused observers and policymakers on both sides of the Atlantic to reassess the role of the US and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in upholding European security. The security concerns of NATO's Central and Eastern European member states and non-NATO member states such as Moldova and Ukraine are of particular concern. NATO has strongly condemned Russian actions and has taken steps aimed both at reassuring allies and partners in Central and Eastern Europe and at deterring further Russian aggression.

T1  - Evaluating Uncertainty to Strengthen Epidemiologic Data for Use in Human Health Risk Assessments
AN  - 1635016117; 21004980
AB  - Background: There is a recognized need to improve the application of epidemiologic data in human health risk assessment especially for understanding and characterizing risks from environmental and occupational exposures. Although there is uncertainty associated with the results of most epidemiologic studies, techniques exist to characterize uncertainty that can be applied to improve weight-of-evidence evaluations and risk characterization efforts. Methods: This report derives from a Health and Environmental Sciences Institute (HESI) workshop held in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, to discuss the utility of using epidemiologic data in risk assessments, including the use of advanced analytic methods to address sources of uncertainty. Epidemiologists, toxicologists, and risk assessors from academia, government, and industry convened to discuss uncertainty, exposure assessment, and application of analytic methods to address these challenges. Synthesis: Several recommendations emerged to help improve the utility of epidemiologic data in risk assessment. For example, improved characterization of uncertainty is needed to allow risk assessors to quantitatively assess potential sources of bias. Data are needed to facilitate this quantitative analysis, and interdisciplinary approaches will help ensure that sufficient information is collected for a thorough uncertainty evaluation. Advanced analytic methods and tools such as directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) and Bayesian statistical techniques can provide important insights and support interpretation of epidemiologic data. Conclusions: The discussions and recommendations from this workshop demonstrate that there are practical steps that the scientific community can adopt to strengthen epidemiologic data for decision making.

AN  - 1761664720; 2011-905330
AB  - The US maintains about 285 diplomatic facilities worldwide. Attacks on such facilities, and on US diplomatic personnel, are not infrequent. The deaths of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other US personnel in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11, 2012, along with attacks that week on US embassies in Egypt, Sudan, Tunisia, and Yemen, drew renewed attention to the challenges facing US diplomats abroad, as well as to the difficulty in balancing concerns for their security against the outreach required of their mission. This report provides background information on the organization, practice, and funding of US diplomatic security efforts. Tables, Figures.

AN  - 1650527140; 2011-770444
AB  - Although nonmarital births (ie, births to unmarried women) are not a new phenomenon, their impact on families has not diminished, and there is much agreement that the complexity of modern family relationships and living arrangements may further complicate the well-being of children born to unwed mothers. This report analyzes the trends in nonmarital childbearing, discusses some of the characteristics of unwed mothers, addresses some issues involving the fathers of children born outside of marriage, and offers some concluding remarks.

T1  - Asylum Policies for Unaccompanied Children Compared with Expedited Removal Policies for Unauthorized Adults: In Brief
AN  - 1641844253; 2011-760669
AB  - The sheer number of Central American children coming to the US who are not accompanied by a parent or legal guardian and who lack proper immigration documents is raising complex and competing sets of humanitarian concerns and immigration control issues. Adults and families from the same three countries -- El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras -- have also been coming in increasing numbers over the same period. This report focuses on how unaccompanied alien children are treated in comparison to unauthorized adults and families with children in the specific contexts of asylum and expedited removal.

T1  - Early-Life Bisphenol A Exposure and Child Body Mass Index: A Prospective Cohort Study
AN  - 1635017097; 21004978
AB  - Background: Early-life exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) may increase childhood obesity risk, but few prospective epidemiological studies have investigated this relationship. Objective: We sought to determine whether early-life exposure to BPA was associated with increased body mass index (BMI) at 2-5 years of age in 297 mother-child pairs from Cincinnati, Ohio (HOME Study). Methods: Urinary BPA concentrations were measured in samples collected from pregnant women during the second and third trimesters and their children at 1 and 2 years of age. BMI z-scores were calculated from weight/height measures conducted annually from 2 through 5 years of age. We used linear mixed models to estimate BMI differences or trajectories with increasing creatinine-normalized BPA concentrations. Results: After confounder adjustment, each 10-fold increase in prenatal ( beta = -0.1; 95% CI: -0.5, 0.3) or early-childhood ( beta = -0.2; 95% CI: -0.6, 0.1) BPA concentrations was associated with a modest and nonsignificant reduction in child BMI. These inverse associations were suggestively stronger in girls than in boys [prenatal effect measure modification (EMM) p-value = 0.30, early-childhood EMM p-value = 0.05], but sex-specific associations were imprecise. Children in the highest early-childhood BPA tercile had lower BMI at 2 years (difference = -0.3; 95% CI: -0.6, 0.0) and larger increases in their BMI slope from 2 through 5 years (BMI increase per year = 0.12; 95% CI: 0.07, 0.18) than children in the lowest tercile (BMI increase per year = 0.07; 95% CI: 0.01, 0.13). All associations were attenuated without creatinine normalization. Conclusions: Prenatal and early-childhood BPA exposures were not associated with increased BMI at 2-5 years of age, but higher early-childhood BPA exposures were associated with accelerated growth during this period.

T1  - Ligand Binding and Activation of PPAR gamma by Firemaster registered 550: Effects on Adipogenesis and Osteogenesis in Vitro
AN  - 1635016227; 21004977
AB  - Background: The use of alternative flame retardants has increased since the phase out of pentabromodiphenyl ethers (pentaBDEs). One alternative, Firemaster registered 550 (FM550), induces obesity in rats. Triphenyl phosphate (TPP), a component of FM550, has a structure similar to that of organotins, which are obesogenic in rodents. Objectives: We tested the hypothesis that components of FM550 are biologically active peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR gamma ) ligands and estimated indoor exposure to TPP. Methods: FM550 and its components were assessed for ligand binding to and activation of human PPAR gamma . Solvent mapping was used to model TPP in the PPAR gamma binding site. Adipocyte and osteoblast differentiation were assessed in bone marrow multipotent mesenchymal stromal cell models. We estimated exposure of children to TPP using a screening-level indoor exposure model and house dust concentrations determined previously. Results: FM550 bound human PPAR gamma , and binding appeared to be driven primarily by TPP. Solvent mapping revealed that TPP interacted with binding hot spots within the PPAR gamma ligand binding domain. FM550 and its organophosphate components increased human PPAR gamma 1 transcriptional activity in a Cos7 reporter assay and induced lipid accumulation and perilipin protein expression in BMS2 cells. FM550 and TPP diverted osteogenic differentiation toward adipogenesis in primary mouse bone marrow cultures. Our estimates suggest that dust ingestion is the major route of exposure of children to TPP. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that FM550 components bind and activate PPAR gamma . In addition, in vitro exposure initiated adipocyte differentiation and antagonized osteogenesis. TPP likely is a major contributor to these biological actions. Given that TPP is ubiquitous in house dust, further studies are warranted to investigate the health effects of FM550.
