description: Three new (1–3) and 17 known (4–20) iridoid and secoiridoid glycosides were isolated from a methanol extract of the rhizomes and roots of Gentiana scabra. Their chemical structures were elucidated from 1D and 2D NMR, IR absorption, and HR-ESI-MS spectra, as well as comparisons of these data with reported values. The effects of the isolated compounds on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated bone marrow-derived dendritic cells were investigated. Compounds 6, 10 and 20 exhibited significant inhibitory effects on LPS-induced IL-12 p40 and IL-6 production with IC50 values of 1.62–14.29 μM. Compound 10 also showed a strong inhibitory effect on the LPS-stimulated production of TNF-α with an IC50 value of 10.45 μM.

This could legitimate conflicts of allegiance of the kind shown in recent conduct of Greek-Australian MPs (including Andrew Theophanous and Senator Bolkus). If it were possible to abolish nation states, and give every human being universal global citizenship, such conflicts might not matter.

description: The efficient removal of 2-Methylisoborneol (2-MIB), a typical odour component, in water treatment plants (WTPs), poses a great challenge to conventional water treatment technology due to its chemical stability. In this study, the combination of ultraviolet light-emitting diode (UV-LED) and chlorine (UV-LED/chlorine) was exploited for 2-MIB removal, and the role of ultraviolet (UV) wavelength was investigated systematically. The results showed that UV or chlorination alone did not degrade 2-MIB effectively, and the UV/chlorine process could degrade 2-MIB efficiently, following the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The 275 nm UV exhibited higher 2-MIB degradation efficiency in this UV-LED/chlorine system than 254 nm UV, 265 nm UV and 285 nm UV due to the highest mole adsorption coefficient and quantum yield of chlorine in 275 nm UV. ·OH and ·Cl produced in the 275 nm UV/chlorine system played major roles in 2-MIB degradation. HCO3− and Natural organic matter (NOM), prevalent in water, consumed ·OH and ·Cl, thus inhibiting the 2-MIB degradation by UV-LED/chlorine. In addition, NOM and 2-MIB could form a photonic competition effect. The degradation of 2-MIB by UV-LED/chlorine was done mainly through dehydration and demethylation, and odorous intermediates, such as camphor, were produced. 2-MIB was degraded through the α bond fracture and six-membered ring opening to form saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbons and aldehydes. Four DBPs, chloroform (CF), trichloroacetaldehyde (TCE), trichloroacetone (TCP) and dichloroacetone (DCP), were mainly generated, and CF was the most significant by-product.

description: The microwave-enhanced advanced oxidation process (MW-AOP) was utilized for the treatment of liquid dairy manure, prior to anaerobic digestion (AD). A significant amount of soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD) was formed in the treated solution, but there was no or little increase in volatile fatty acid (VFA). In this study, up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors were used in both the conventional AD system and as the methane phase reactor in a two-phase anaerobic digestion (TPAD) system. Both AD systems were capable of operating at very short hydraulic retention times (HRTs) to as low as about 3 days, and very high methane production rates were achieved. However, much higher methane production was obtained in the TPAD system. The phase separation of the acidogenesis and the methanogenesis in the TPAD system not only increased methane production but also maintained reactor stability throughout the experimental period. Thus, the combination of MW-AOP treatment and TPAD appears to be an effective means of energy recovery from dairy manure.

description: This article explores the growing independence of the inner city and suburban areas in Melbourne. It shows that the former is specialising in ‘new economy’ employment while the latter are becoming increasingly diversified in employment terms. Most Melbourne residents live and work in suburban locations. The current Victorian Government planning document, Melbourne 2030, seeks to locate suburban job growth in ‘activity’ centres close to public transport. The analysis of job creation in suburban areas in this paper suggests that this goal is unlikely to be achieved. Copyright. Monash University and the author/s

description: Chitosan (CS) is commonly used as an adsorbent for wastewater treatment because of its low cost, strong adsorption properties, and high availability of raw materials required for its production. However, CS exhibits limited adaptability to pH, poor mechanical properties, and high swelling in aqueous media; these limitations restrict its widespread use. To address these issues, herein, zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) is loaded onto crosslinked CS microspheres (CSM) to prepare CSM@ZIF-67, a composite adsorbent. Next, the CSM@ZIF-67 is applied to the treatment of Congo red (CR) dye, which is typically present in printing and dyeing wastewater. The results demonstrate that the in situ synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) on CSM improve the dispersion of MOFs and preserve the morphology of the MOFs. The adsorption equilibrium of CSM@ZIF-67 is reached within 150 min, and its adsorption capacity is as high as 538.4 mg/g at a pH of 9 and temperature of 25 °C. The CR adsorption process is consistent with the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models, thus revealing that chemisorption is the primary rate-limiting step, and the pollutants are adsorbed on the adsorbent surface in a monolayer. Experiments on material cycling and regeneration performance reveal that the removal efficiency of CSM@ZIF-67 remains above 90%, even after five rounds of adsorption. CSM@ZIF-67 has abundant functional groups and adsorption sites and can efficiently remove CR through mutual interactions between the metal coordination effect, π–π conjugation, hydrogen bonding, and electrostatic interactions.

description: The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) surveyed a randomly selected sample of electronic scrap (e-scrap) recycling facilities nationwide to characterize work processes, exposures, and controls. Despite multiple attempts to contact 278 facilities, only 47 responded (17% response rate). Surveyed facilities reported recycling a wide variety of electronics. The most common recycling processes were manual dismantling and sorting. Other processes included shredding, crushing, and automated separation. Many facilities reported that they had health and safety programs in place. However, some facilities reported the use of compressed air for cleaning, a practice that can lead to increased employee dust exposures, and some facilities allowed food and drinks in the production areas, a practice that can lead to ingestion of contaminants. Although our results may not be generalizable to all US e-scrap recycling facilities, they are informative regarding health and safety programs in the industry. We concluded that e-scrap recycling has the potential for a wide variety of occupational exposures particularly because of the frequent use of manual processes. On-site evaluations of e-scrap recyclers are needed to determine if reported work processes, practices, and controls are effective and meet current standards and guidelines. Educating the e-scrap recycling industry about health and safety best practices, specifically related to safe handling of metal dust, would help protect employees.
Mobility of the Vietnam-born in Sydney : a re-assessment after the 2001 census

description: Vietnamese migrants to Australia have congregated in the poorer suburbs of Western Sydney, especially around Cabramatta in Fairfield. Scholars have argued about how this phenomenon should be interpreted. Is Fairfield a zone of transition, where new arrivals establish themselves among compatriots and then move on? Or is it becoming an ethnic enclave where residents remain trapped, unable or unwilling to integrate into the wider society? The author uses census data, including 2001 data, to search for answers. He finds that, though overseas migration from Vietnam is now very low, 82 per cent of Vietnam-born people in Sydney still live in what he calls the 'core region'. Some established Vietnam-born residents have moved out of the core region since the last census - a few shifting to more affluent areas. However, their places have been taken by migrants from Vietnam and by other Vietnam-born people moving in from elsewhere in Sydney. Copyright. Monash University and the author/s

title: Evaluating RAP-chem air quality forecasts

description: Several models such as NCAR's Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with Chemistry (WRFChem) and NOAA's National Air Quality Forecasting Capability (NAQFC) have been developed and evaluated to provide forecasts for potentially hazardous species such as ozone (O3) and fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Rapid Refresh with Chemistry (RAP-Chem) is an experimental forecast model being actively developed at NOAA Global Sciences Laboratory providing forecasts since August 2020. There is a strong need to consistently evaluate operational and experimental forecast models, with specific focus on RAPChem as its physics/chemistry packages are likely to form the basis for the next-generation of air quality forecasting at NOAA. Here we present a methodology to conduct a multi-model evaluation in near real time. We created a shell script to compile forecast data and pair them with ground based O3 and PM2.5 observations. The Model Observation Evaluation Toolkit (MONET) package is incorporated into our script in which several plots and statistics are generated. Our methodology will let developers compare several models at once followed by diagnosing bugs and fixing model deficiencies quickly. We present an example of a daily evaluation to demonstrate the capability of our script and knowledge gained by a single day's evaluation. RAP-Chem forecasts of O3 and PM2.5 are compared against surface observations and several other models. Overall, we find overprediction of O3 and underprediction of PM2.5 from RAP-Chem. We demonstrate the utility of the system by investigating regional differences as well as the diurnal cycle of O3. Further and sustained use of our method will be required to develop a meaningful evaluation.

description: Luminescent cholesteric liquid crystalline polymers consisting of the lanthanide ions covalently attached to cholesteric polysiloxanes are prepared. Cholesteric liquid crystalline monomer and 4-(allyloxy)benzoic acid grafted to poly(methylhydrogeno)siloxane is used as one of the precursors for the preparation of the lanthanide-containing cholesteric liquid crystalline polymers. The chemical structures of the monomers are characterised by Fourier transform infrared, 1H NMR and elemental analyses. The mesomorphic properties and phase behaviour are investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, polarising optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The polymers containing <3 mol% of the lanthanide ions reveal reversible mesomorphic phase transition, wide mesophase temperature ranges and high thermal stability. The introductions of the lanthanide ions do not change the liquid crystalline state of polymer systems; on the contrary, the polymers are enabled with the significant luminescent properties. With the lanthanide ions contents ranging between 1 and 3 mol%, luminescent intensity and luminescent lifetimes of polymers gradually increased. The temperature dependence of luminescent intensity was studied in the liquid crystalline phase.

description: In February 2010 the Australian Government announced a set of reform to the rules governing access to permanent residence visas and the temporary entry graduate skills visa (485) for overseas students who have completed courses in Australian universities and VET colleges. This article provides a history of Australian policy on the issue and an analysis of the likely impact of the new regulations. It concludes that the government has largely succeeded in de-coupling education in Australia from migration selection. As a result, it is likely that enrolments in the VET sector will shrink and that enrolments in the higher education sector will largely be confined to courses where students obtain qualifications that are of value in the country of origin.

description: As educators know, teaching is a complicated practice that requires an interweaving of many kinds of specialized knowledge. In this way, teaching is an example of an ill-structured discipline, requiring teachers to apply complex knowledge structures across different cases and contexts (Mishra, Spiro, & Feltovich, 1996; Spiro & Jehng, 1990). Teachers practice their craft in highly complex, dynamic classroom contexts (Leinhardt & Greeno, 1986) that require them constantly to shift and evolve their understanding. Thus, effective teaching depends on flexible access to rich, well-organized and integrated knowledge from different domains (Glaser, 1984; Putnam & Borko, 2000; Shulman, 1986, 1987), including knowledge of student thinking and learning, knowledge of the subject matter, and increasingly, knowledge of technology.

description: We study a periodic-review multi-technology production-inventory problem of a single product with emissions trading over a planning horizon consisting of multiple periods. A manufacturer selects among multiple technologies with different unit production costs and emissions allowance consumption rates to produce the product to meet independently distributed random market demands. The manufacturer receives an emissions allowance at the beginning of the planning horizon and is allowed to trade allowances through an outside market in each of the following periods. To solve the dynamic multi-technology production-inventory problem, we virtually separate the problem into an inner layer and an outer layer. Based on the structural properties of the two layers, we find that the optimal emissions trading policy follows a target interval policy with two thresholds, whereas the optimal production policy has a composite base-stock structure. Our theoretical results show that no more than two technologies should be selected simultaneously at any state. However, different groups of technologies may be selected at different states. Our numerical tests confirm that it can be economically beneficial for a manufacturer to maintain multiple available technologies.

description: The effects of different soil properties on hydrology and nitrogen removal were studied in a simulated bioretention system. Soil capacity of permeability and water retention, changes in the soil environment, leachate concentrations at the surface and bottom layers, quantification of N removal from soil, microorganism and plant by 15N isotope tracer technique, and functional genes abundance at different depths were evaluated. The results showed that shallow root plants, soil compaction, and low organic matter content were not conducive to the infiltration of bioretention systems. In the 72 h experiment, compaction (especially surface compaction) and planting of herbaceous plants (Ophiopogon japonicus) were not beneficial to the removal of TN, TP, and COD. Adding an appropriate amount of organic matter also affects nitrogen and phosphorus removal. In the process of denitrification, the order of the ability to remove nitrogen is soil adsorption > microbial assimilation > plant uptake. The contribution of soil denitrification is affected by soil compaction, compaction location, plant species and organic matter content. The abundance of 16S rRNA, nitrifying, denitrifying and nrfA genes decreased with soil depth. More copies of genes in topsoil were thought to be due to sufficient nutrients, aerobic condition, anaerobic microsites and submerged state. Soil compaction, organic matter content and plant species affected nitrification, denitrification and DNRA gene characteristics.

description: We study a periodic-review multi-technology production-inventory problem of a single product with emissions trading over a planning horizon consisting of multiple periods. A manufacturer selects among multiple technologies with different unit production costs and emissions allowance consumption rates to produce the product to meet independently distributed random market demands. The manufacturer receives an emissions allowance at the beginning of the planning horizon, and is allowed to trade allowances through an outside market in each of the following periods. To solve the dynamic multi-technology production-inventory problem, we virtually separate the problem into an inner layer and an outer layer. Based on structural properties of the two layers, we find that the optimal emissions trading policy follows a target interval policy with two thresholds, while the optimal production policy has a composite base-stock structure. Our theoretical results show that no more than two technologies should be selected simultaneously at any state. However, different groups of technologies may be selected at different states. Our numerical tests confirm that it can be economically beneficial for a manufacturer to maintain multiple available technologies.

description: Linguistic diversity is more evenly spread in Melbourne than in Sydney or Adelaide. Some languages are more concentrated than others in all cities, while others tend to be more dispersed. Some municipalities are characterised by the dominance of one community language while others are multilingual, and others have no significant community language presence at all. Copyright.

More 'relaxed and comfortable': public opinion on immigration under Howard
Creators: name: Goot, Murray
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In the last two years, polled opinion on immigration has shifted; whereas earlier surveys indicated that most Australians thought the migrant intake too high, surveys taken after the 1998 election and 1999 referendum point to a public which is more evenly divided. This paper sets out the evidence for this shift and defends its validity; it points to possible reasons for the change; and it explores the relationship between policy-making and public opinion on immigration, pursuing the implications for opponents of immigration who seek to base their case for lower population growth on opinion-poll data.

Population dynamics in Queensland

description: Population growth in Queensland has been strong for the last 30 years, but has slowed in 2009 and 2010. There are three drivers of Queensland’s growth: natural increase, net overseas migration (NOM), and interstate migration. For most of the 30-year period interstate migration was the strongest factor. Currently, however, it is weak, while national increase has grown and NOM, though lower than in 2008, is still significant. Why has interstate migration fallen? New South Wales has been the main source of internal migrants, attracted by plentiful jobs, lower house prices, and by the Queensland lifestyle. But levels of job creation in Queensland have eased and the cost of housing has risen steeply, thus mitigating two of the three main incentives for making a long-distance move. Though NOM has also fallen since 2008 this was from a record level and numbers remain high. Many immigrants are temporary workers sponsored not so much by the mining industry as by employers in healthcare and construction. Others are New Zealanders who are disproportionately attracted to Queensland. Whatever happens to interstate migration NOM will almost certainly continue to be a key driver of Queensland’s population growth, as will natural increase. Copyright.

description: Most estimates and projections of life expectancy are based on period measures. This paper presents forecasts of cohort life expectancy for older generations derived using the Lee-Carter method of forecasting mortality. These cohort measures point to more years of life expectancy than the commonly cited current period measures. The new forecasts also indicate a more rapid increase in future life expectancy than official projections assume. Policy-makers and those planning retirement should take into account that Australians are likely to live longer than currently envisaged Copyright. Monash University and the author/s
Future dilemma: a reply to the critics
Creators: name: Foran, Barney
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The release of the CSIRO Future Dilemmas report on population environment futures sparked a widespread debate in the Australian print, radio and television media. As well as the positive or neutral responses that focused on the issues, there were three sorces of overt criticism to which one of the authors replies in this article. The first are the economists, Chris Murphy and Mark Wooden, members of the Ministerially appointed external reference group, who oversaw the project in due diligence terms. The second is the green movement where the response is focused on the article by Ted Trainer in People and Place (vol. 11, no. 1). The third are three journalists from The Australian newspaper who concentrated their commentary on personal criticisms of the authors, rather than dealing logically with any of the factual issues analysed in the report. The three sets of criticisms help focus the next stage of the work but it is unlikely that doubling the effort and increasing the precision of the work will alter the attitudes of the broad groups that these critics represent. Once strong ideologies are formed, whether in science, society or politics, they are difficult to deconstruct and reform. Pagination on item is incorrect Copyright. Monash University and the author/s
