ines presentations of Australia’s non-European history at heritage tourist attractions. It focuses on Pearl st attraction which presents the history of pearling (diving for pearls) in Broome, Western Australia. The ided for visitors at Pearl Luggers contrast the dark side of the early history of pearling (high death rates, the Aborigines, use of Asian indentured workers for dangerous jobs and racist immigration policies) with the activeness of pearls and Broome as a tropical resort town. This paper uses the example of Pearl Luggers to sues such as the treatment of Aborigines and the restrictions on Asian immigration which comprised the Policy are treated in interpretation at heritage tourism attractions in Australia. A number of studies have g tendency for Australian heritage attractions to ignore these issues, instead presenting a Eurocentric view istory and there are strong fears that growing tourism will whitewash Broome’s distinct multicultural trast, there is now a growing trend for some attractions to take a broader perspective of Australia’s history a work in progress.

Required strength evaluation model and its application for vertically exposed backfill : inspired by Mitchell ’ s physical model tests

Cemented paste backfill is an increasingly popular technique to improve ground stability in underground mines. This technique is used in several mining methods that require strength evaluation for the vertically exposed cemented backfill following the excavation of an adjacent stope on one side. The critical strength is generally evaluated with an analytical solution proposed by Mitchell et al. (1982). Despite its wide acceptance in academia and application in the mining industry, the Mitchell solution has received only a few updates in the literature, including some new developments given by the authors and colleagues. The original Mitchell solution and its variants were mainly validated against the physical model test results obtained by Mitchell et al. (1982). Even though the Mitchell model debatably assumed a zero backfill friction angle, the required strengths predicted by the Mitchell solution corresponded quite well to those obtained by physical model tests. This study reanalysed the Mitchell solution and its physical model. The testing conditions and procedures for measuring the shear strength parameters are investigated. The stability of the cemented backfill upon removal of a confining wall is analysed with FLAC3D. The comparisons between the numerical modellings, experimental results and analytical solutions are presented, and the applicable range of the classical Mitchell solution is discussed. A new analytical solution is proposed to evaluate the minimum required strength of the cemented backfill confined by two sidewalls exposed on one side and subject to pressure from uncemented backfill on the opposite side. The proposed analytical solution is validated by numerical simulations with FLAC3D. The proposed analytical solution is used to determine the theoretical strength requirement of cemented backfill in primary stopes of an iron mine that employs stage stoping with subsequent backfill mining. The floating Factor of Safety (FS) characterising the current backfilling quality control level of this mine was statistically evaluated with a large amount of uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) data after testing vast drilled samples from field stopes. The engineered strength requirement of the cemented backfill in primary stopes had been finalised by combining the analytical results and floating FS of the mine.
Cancer initiation by fumonisin B 1 in rat liver ± role of cell proliferation

Fumonisin B1 (FB1), a carcinogenic mycotoxin produced by the fungus Fusarium verticillioides in corn, causes cancer initiation in rat liver in a similar manner to genotoxic carcinogens although apparently with different kinetics. The present experiment was designed to evaluate the role of regenerative cell proliferation, effected by partial hepatectomy (PH) and carbontetrachloride (CCl4) and direct mitogen-induced hyperplasia, induced by lead nitrate (PbNO3), on FB1-induced cancer initiation. Initiation was effected over a period of 14 days by gavage administration of FB1 at different daily doses ranging from 0.14 to 3.5 mg FB1/100 g body weight while the stimuli for cell proliferation were introduced 7 days after the start of the FB1 treatment. Based on the proliferative stimulus used, cancer promotion was effected 3 weeks after completion of the initiating treatment by 2-acetylamino ̄uorene (2-AAF) treatment followed by PH or carbon tetrachloride CCl4 on day 4. Cancer initiation by FB1 was associated with a hepatotoxic effect and an increase in lipid peroxidation. In contrast to compensatory liver cell proliferation induced by PH and CCl4, mitogen-induced hyperplasia (PbNO3) failed to enhance the cancer initiating potential of FB1 suggesting that cancer induction by a non-genotoxic carcinogen is supported by regenerative cell proliferation. Cognizance of the enhancing role of cell proliferation during cancer initiation by FB1 is required in assessing the risks posed by this mycotoxin to humans. q 2001 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.

The quality parameters like fruit volume (203.67 ml), no. of seed per fruit (304.00), seed weight (8.52 g), pulp weight (196.93 g), pulp: Seed ratio, TSS (11.17 Brix) and acidity (0.22) content were significantly higher in treatment T5 (Nitrogen @ 600+ Phosphorus @ 400+ Potash @ 600+ Vermicompost @ 5 kg/plant).
Classroom tools for teaching students ( continued ) Tools Description

The article deals with the issue of teaching students of economic specialities by means of cloud technologies. The author analyses the possibilities of applying Internet services and demonstrates the feasibility of their implementation in education. The primary aim of this research is to examine the influence of Google Classroom tools on the development of students’ economic competence. During the pedagogical experiment, the criteria (cognitive, motivational and technological), indicators, and levels (high, sufficient, average and low) of the formation of students' economic competence through Google Classroom were determined. 65 students of the Faculty of Management and Marketing of the National Technical University of Ukraine “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute” took part in the experiment. The results prove that Google Classroom tools allow increasing the level of cognitive activity and motivate students to study economic subjects. The paper demonstrates that the use of Internet resources has a positive effect on the development of technology skills and also favourably promotes the introduction of new methods into the educational process.
A dataset of 30 m annual vegetation phenology indicators (1985–2015) in urban areas of the conterminous United States

Abstract. Medium-resolution satellite observations show great potential for characterizing seasonal and annual dynamics of vegetation phenology in urban domains from local to regional and global scales. However, most previous studies were conducted using coarse-resolution data, which are inadequate for characterizing the spatiotemporal dynamics of vegetation phenology in urban domains. In this study, we produced an annual vegetation phenology dataset in urban ecosystems for the conterminous United States (US), using all available Landsat images on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform. First, we characterized the long-term mean seasonal pattern of phenology indicators of the start of season (SOS) and the end of season (EOS), using a double logistic model. Then, we identified the annual variability of these two phenology indicators by measuring the difference of dates when the vegetation index in a specific year reaches the same magnitude as its long-term mean. The derived phenology indicators agree well with in situ observations from the PhenoCam network and Harvard Forest. Comparing with results derived from the moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) data, our Landsat-derived phenology indicators can provide more spatial details. Also, we found the temporal trends of phenology indicators (e.g., SOS) derived from Landsat and MODIS are consistent overall, but the Landsat-derived results from 1985 offer a longer temporal span compared to MODIS from 2001 to present. In general, there is a spatially explicit pattern of phenology indicators from the north to the south in cities in the conterminous US, with an overall advanced SOS in the past 3 decades. The derived phenology product in the US urban domains at the national level is of great use for urban ecology studies for its medium spatial resolution (30 m) and long temporal span (30 years).

Ex 3 a ERKO male infertility phenoty pe recapitulates the a ERKO male phenotype

Disruption of the Esr1 gene encoding estrogen receptor a (ERa) by insertion of a neomycin resistance gene (neo) into exon 2 (aERKO mice) was shown previously to cause infertility in male mice. While full-length ERa protein was not expressed in aERKO mice, alternative splicing resulted in the low-level expression of a truncated form lacking the N-terminus A/B domain and containing the DNAand ligand-binding domains. Thus, it was unclear whether the reproductive phenotype in aERKO males was only due to the lack of full-length ERa or was affected by the presence of the variant ERa isoform. The present study examined male mice with deletion of exon 3 of Esr1 gene, lacking the DNA-binding domain, and null for ERa (Ex3aERKO). Dilation of some seminiferous tubules was apparent in male Ex3aERKO mice as early as postnatal day 10 and was pronounced in all tubules from day 20 onward. At 6 weeks of age, sperm numbers and sperm motility were lower in Journal of Endocrinology (2010) 207, 281–288 0022–0795/10/0207–281 q 2010 Society for Endocrinology Printed in Great Ex3aERKO mice than in wild-type (WT) mice, and the rete testis and efferent ductules were dilated. Mating studies determined that adult Ex3aERKO males were infertile and failed to produce copulatory plugs. Serum testosterone levels and Hsd17b3 and Cyp17a1 transcript levels were significantly higher, but serum estradiol, progesterone, LH, and FSH levels and Cyp19a1 transcript levels were not significantly different from those in WT mice. These results confirm and extend those seen in other studies on male mice with deletion of exon 3 of Esr1 gene. In addition, the reproductive phenotype of male Ex3aERKO mice recapitulated the phenotype of aERKO mice, strongly suggesting that the aERKO male infertility was not due to the presence of the DNA-binding domain in the truncated form of ERa and that full-length ERa is essential for maintenance of male fertility.

A Preliminary Survey of Norovirus and Astrovirus Antigen in Diarrheic Stools of Children in Borno State , Nigeria

Background: Noroviruses and astroviruses are important agents of acute gastroenteritis among children. Acute gastroenteritis (AGE) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in pediatric populations world-wide. Globally, an estimated 800 000 infants and young children die from diarrhea every year. Aims: This was a cross-sectional study that included acute diarrheic children presenting in Specialist Hospital, Nursing Home Health Centre and Ngamdu pediatric clinic in Borno state with the aim of detecting norovirus and astrovirus antigen. Two hundred children whose parent/guardian consented were enrolled in the study. Methodology: Two hundred acute diarrheic and forty one nondiarrheic fecal samples were collected from children aged 5 or less between June 2013 – May 2014. Samples were screened for norovirus and astrovirus antigen using 3 generation RIDASCREEN ELISA test kit. Demographic data of the children were obtained. Results: All non-diarrheic stools were negative for both antigens whileof the two hundred diarrheic stools screened, a prevalence of 8% and 5% were obtained for norovirus and astrovirus respectively. The proportion of males (6/130) positive for norovirus antigen relative to female (10/70) was found to be significant (p < 0.016199). No significant difference was observed between male and female positive for Astrovirus (p =0.307574). A significant prevalence of norovirus (p = 0.00001) and astrovirus (p = 0.013321) based on age group were obtained. Clinical sign and symptoms of infection with norovirus and Astrovirus between male and female showed no significant difference (p=0.42018). Conclusion: Norovirus and Astrovirus are a significant aetiology of diarrhea in the study area. Measures to mitigate their sequelae are required to circumvent potential public health crises in future.

Combining Diamond Burbark , Triumfetta rhomboidea ( Malvaceae ) with Garlic Extract in Push-Pull Management of Spoladea recurvalis ( Lepidoptera : Crambidae ) on Amaranthus hybridus in Nigeria

Entomological pests severely undermine amaranth production in Nigeria where the Beet webworm moth, Spoladea recurvalis and Psara basalis were responsible for the most significant damage. Surveys were conducted at two different infested areas (Area-A and Area-B) in the Southwest to identify wild hosts that relay the pest populations into new crop cycles. The spiny amaranth, (Amaranthus spinosus) was found in Area-A while the diamond burbark (Triumfetta rhomboidea) and A. spinosus were in Area-B. For the purpose of pest identification, larvae samples were collected from the plants habouring mixed lepidopteran larvae and reared to adult in the laboratory. S. recurvalis was the predominant pest in the two surveyed areas. The ratio of P. basalis to S. recurvalis populations on the spiny amaranth in Area-A was 20% to 80%. In Area-B, 90% of the larvae samples from A. spinosus developed into adult S. recurvalis while 10% was P. basalis. Thereafter, the diamond burbark was applied as a border crop around amaranth plots and water extract of garlic was sprayed on the amaranth. The garlic spray and the diamond burbark served as the ‘push’ and the ‘pull’ components of a stimulo-diversionary management system respectively. The control consisted of amaranth plots sprayed with garlic extract only (without border crop). The experiment was conducted in amaranth production field infested naturally by S. recurvalis. Significantly (P<0.05) lower damage (7.2%) occurred where amaranth was bordered with T. rhomboidea and sprayed with garlic extract, while 64.6% damage was recorded where garlic extract spray alone was used (control). The paper reported the potentials of combining T. rhomboidea with garlic extract to mitigate pest attack against leaf amaranth in Southwestern Nigeria. The method presents environment friendly pest management, capable of reducing reliance on the use of chemical pest management approaches.
The Buying and Selling Behavior of Institutional , Individual and Foreign Investors in the Korean Stock Exchange

This study examines the impact of institutional and individual investorsbuy and sell trades on stock market volatility. Our dataset also allows to investigate the trading behavior of six di¤erent institutional investors, namely the insurance companies, mutual funds, investment banks, commercial banks, savings banks and other companies. Insurance companies, mutual funds and investment bankstrades have an asymmetric e¤ect on volatility, with buy orders having a stabilizing e¤ect and sell orders a destabilizing one up to the period of the Asian nancial crisis. Commercial banks, savings banksand other companiesbuy and sell trades have a positive e¤ect on volatility for all samples considered. The aggregated non-member institutional and individual investors buy and sell trades a¤ect volatility positively across all subsamples. The buy and sell trades of individual investors exacerbate volatility, supporting the argument that their buy and sell decisions carry little information and are possibly a¤ected by psychological biases and market trends/momentum (Barber and Odean, 2011). Finally, foreign buy (sell) trades have a negative (positive) e¤ect on volatility in the pre-crisis period while in the post crisis one both buy and sell trades a¤ect volatility positively. Overall, buy orders are more informative and value motivated while sell orders are less informative and possibly more market phase (or momentum) driven. Keywords: trading volume, volatility, institutional investors, individual investors. JEL classi cation: G12, G15, G23
EFFECT OF AMARANTH : MAIZE FLOUR RATIO ON THE QUALITY AND ACCEPTABILITY OF U gali AND Porridge ( KENYAN CEREAL STAPLES )

Food and nutrition security is a major global concern, especially in the developing countries. Currently, many countries in sub-Saharan Africa depend on a narrow base of food, a situation which minimizes variety in food production and contributes to insecurity in food and nutrition. This situation can be highly improved by considering highly nutritious crops that have domestication potential, such as the amaranth grain, which is richer in protein and other mineral elements when compared to commonly consumed cereal grains. The amaranth grain is currently a highly ignored crop, and yet it is very easy to grow, and its survival in harsh conditions also guarantees its yield. In this paper, the knowledge that the Kenyan North Rift farmer and consumer has the amaranth grain plant was established in a survey. Literature sources were used to lay out the nutritive value of the amaranth grain, and nutrition education relayed to 250 randomly sampled consumers and farmers, so as to justify the need for its adoption as a cash/food crop. The functional properties (cook paste and water absorption) and culinary characteristics (colour, texture, flavour) of commonly consumed products (ugali and porridge) which were made in varying treatments of amaranth flour: maize meal flour (100:00; 80:20; 70:30; 60:40; 50:50) was determined. Data were managed using SPSS version 18. The survey results established that the knowledge that the farmer and consumer had on the amaranth grain was minimal. Time taken for the samples to turn viscous reduced with increasing amounts of amaranth flour, which also took the least time and lowest temperature to form a stable gel. The porriber and ugaber composites with high amounts of amaranth grain flour (80:20) were the most acceptable, and from the nutritional point, the most nutritious. Increased nutritional awareness, production and consumption of grain amaranth products may be the way to better food and nutrition security.
European integration , liberalisation and labour market performance

1. The construction of unified Europe is one of the main long-wave movements in postwar history. The main driving force for this essentially political objective has been its compelling economic rationale. The creation of a single European market has been widely seen as advantageous for all participants and beneficial to living standards of European citizens. Much in the same vein, many EU governments willingly took the steps towards the establishment of the European Monetary Union because they were generally perceived as bringing about beneficial political economy consequences, such as creating a consensus for implementing some of the changes in institutions and policies which are needed to ensure long-run sustainable growth in the European economies. Unfortunately, however, the movement towards unification has failed so far to contribute significantly to the economic objective of reducing high and persistent unemployment, which is most important for maintaining the momentum and the social cohesion of European societies around the European project. Indeed, structural unemployment among EMU members is still much higher than in other OECD countries and, more importantly, European
