description: Among the newly discovered features of multiple stellar populations in Globular Clusters, the cluster NGC 1851 harbours a double subgiant branch, that can be explained in terms of two stellar generations, only slightly differing in age, the younger one having an increased total C+N+O abundance. Thanks to this difference in the chemistry, a fit can be made to the subgiant branches, roughly consistent with the C+N+O abundance variations already discovered two decades ago, and confirmed by recent spectroscopic data. We compute theoretical isochrones for the main sequence turnoff, by adopting four chemical mixtures for the opacities and nuclear reaction rates. The standard mixture has Z=10$^{-3}$ and [$α$/Fe]=0.4, the others have C+N+O respectively equal to 2, 3 and 5 times the standard mixture, according to the element abundance distribution described in the text. We compare tracks and isochrones, and show how the results depend on the total CNO abundance. We notice that different initial CNO abundances between two clusters, otherwise similar in metallicity and age, may lead to differences in the turnoff morphology that can be easily attributed to an age difference. We simulate the main sequence and subgiant branch data for NGC 1851 and show that an increase of C+N+O by a factor $\sim$3 best reproduces the shift between the subgiant branches. We compare the main sequence width in the color m$_{F336W}$-m$_{F814W}$ with models, and find that the maximum helium abundance compatible with the data is Y$\simeq$0.29. We consider the result in the framework of the formation of the second stellar generation in globular clusters, for the bulk of which we estimate a helium abundance of Y$\simlt 0.26$.

Superplasticity in the zinc-1 per cent aluminum system
Creators: name: Turner, David Malcolm
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A Zn - 1 wt % Al alloy has been studied in an attempt to relate tensile data and metallographic observations to assumed modes of superplastic deformation. Tensile testing, was carried out at a constant crosshead speed to determine the stress versus strain rate relationships as a function of grain size and temperature. Further analysis included activation energy determinations, low temperature (-100°C) deformation behavior, deformation grain growth characteristics, and surface and internal metallography. Stage II deformation was consistent with a process combining boundary sliding and migration and boundary diffusion. Deformation in stage I was characterized by a low strain rate sensitivity and a variable activation energy. Normal slip processes were operative during stage III deformation. Deformation grain growth and anisotropic grain shape changes were pronounced and variable in stages I and II.

description: Yield-stress is a problematic and controversial non-Newtonian flow phenomenon. In this article, we investigate the flow of yield-stress substances through porous media within the framework of pore-scale network modeling. We also investigate the validity of the Minimum Threshold Path (MTP) algorithms to predict the pressure yield point of a network depicting random or regular porous media. Percolation theory as a basis for predicting the yield point of a network is briefly presented and assessed. In the course of this study, a yield-stress flow simulation model alongside several numerical algorithms related to yield-stress in porous media were developed, implemented and assessed. The general conclusion is that modeling the flow of yield-stress fluids in porous media is too difficult and problematic. More fundamental modeling strategies are required to tackle this problem in the future.

Geophysical studies in Tasmania : Part A. : Interpretation of the gravity potential field using the frequency domain.
Creators: name: Dampney, C. N. G
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The frequency domain assembles gravity potential field information into a more meaningful form then the spacial domain. The gravity potential field becomes mathematically well behaved, allowing, ideally, an exact expression for the interpretation procedures of vertical continuation and derivatives; and the formulation of criteria to examine previously proposed interpretation methods of this class. Moreover, approximations, which are an inevitable component of interpretation, can be more clearly examined. Using the frequency domain it is shown that a discrete system of point masses, judiciously chosen, adequately synthesize any gravity field. The proposed \Equivalent Source Technique\" results in the projection of irregularly spaced data on rough topography onto a regularly gridded horizontal plane. It also allows vertical continuation of the potential field and the effective removal of the regional from the Bouguer Anomaly."
On Fading Broadcast Channels with Channel Output Feedback
Creators: name: Li, Siyao
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The Broadcast Channel (BC) has been widely used as a downlink communication system model. One of particularly important BCs is the Fading Additive White Gaussian Noise Broadcast Channel (F-AWGN-BC), under various types of the Channel State Information (CSI) like perfect CSI at both the transmitter (CSIT) and receiver (CSIR), at the receiver only, or delayed CSI at the transmitter. Despite the considerable progress on the capacity region of the BC in the absence of fading, the capacity region of the AWGN-BC with fading remains open when the CSI is not available at the transmitter. This dissertation defense will apply techniques from information theory, control theory, and deep learning to investigate the benefits of feedback in improving fundamental limits on information flow in fading BCs. We consider two channel models: the Layered Packet Erasure Broadcast Channel (LPE-BC) and Fading Additive White Gaussian Noise Broadcast Channel (F-AWGN-BC). The first model is used to characterize channel fading and is an approximation of the second one. We focus on the case where the receiver has perfect and instantaneous CSI, and the transmitter obtains the one-unit-delayed received message along with the CSI through the noiseless feedback link. The major contributions are summarized as follows: 1) Deriving inner and outer bounds to the capacity region of the fading BCs with COF; 2) Identifying the stability region for the LPE-BC with COF; 3) Designing coding mechanisms by incorporating control/estimation theory and deep learning. These techniques serve as building blocks for understanding the capacity region of wireless communication systems and developing coding methods for high reliability, low power, and broad communication.

description: Evidence has been accumulating for the existence of significant intrinsic non-perturbative five-quark components in various baryons. The inclusion of the five-quark components gives a natural explanation of the excess of $\bar d$ over $\bar u$, significant quark orbital angular momentum in the proton, the problematic mass and decay pattern of the lowest $1/2^-$ baryon nonet, etc.. A breathing mode of $qqq\leftrightarrow qqqq\bar q$ is suggested for the lowest $1/2^-$ baryon octet. Evidence of a predicted member of the new scheme, $Σ^*(1/2^-)$ around 1380 MeV, is introduced.

description: We review the current state of Cepheid modeling and discuss its dominant deficiency, namely the use of time dependent mixing length. Notwithstanding, Cepheid modeling has achieved some excellent successes, and we mention some of the most recent ones. Discrepancies between observations and modeling appear not so much in the gross properties of single mode Cepheids, but rather when more subtle nonlinear effects are important, such as in double mode or even triple mode pulsations. Finally we discuss what we consider the most important challenges for the next decade. These are, first, realistic multi dimensional modeling of convection in a pulsating environment, and second, the nonlinear modeling of the nonradial pulsations that have been observed, and, relatedly, of the Blazhko like phenomenon that has recently been observed in Cepheids.

Factors influencing the susceptibility of apple trees to Trametes (Polystictus) versicolor
Creators: name: Darbyshire, B
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: \Polystictus dieback\" of apple trees is a serious problem in Australian orchards and the literature suggests that the disease is only extensive and causes severe injury to trees in orcharding areas of this country. The disease is associated with a wood rotting Basidiomycete Trametes versicolor and as a result of attack by this fungus limbs or whole trees may be destroyed. By growing apple trees in sand culture a quantitative relationship was established between a phosphorus deficiency and an increased susceptibility of limbs to destruction by the fungus (Wade unpubl.). The results reported here are directed towards an attempt to explain the parasitic nature of T. versicolor on apple trees in Australia. A field survey failed on confirm any relationship between phosphorus status and the incidence of dieback in trees. The effects of reserve nutrients accumulated by trees on the development of the fungus were then examined using in vitro methods. The fungus was grown on blocks of apple wood in culture jars containing different nutrient sources incorporated in a medium. When a carbon source was absent from the media decay of wood was high. With a high carbon or nitrogen deficient media wood decay was comparatively low. Solution culture experiments indicated that production of extracellular polyphenol oxidase is an important factor in this effect. With increasing glucose content of media decay of wood was increasingly suppressed. Polyphenol oxidase production was suppressed with increasing media sugar levels. By extracting wood blocks before subjecting them to attack by the fungus the presence in the wood of an inhibitor to the growth of the fungus was demonstrated. It was postulated that such an inhibitor may be associated with soluble sugar levels in trees. Inoculation trials demonstrated a varietal variation in susceptibility of trees to the disease an increased amount of dieback resulting from winter inoculations and an inability of the fungus to grow in one year old wood. The trials also indicated a relation between high soluble sugar levels and a lower rate of establishment of the fungus. This result although not entirely conclusive confirmed the results of the in vitro experiments. It is concluded that environmental and managerial conditions to which trees are subjected in Australia result in an increased susceptibility of limbs to attack and ultimate destruction by T. versicolor. The increased susceptibility of branches may be explained in terms of a lowered soluble sugar content and an associated lower level of the suggested inhibitory factor to the growth of the fungus."

description: We present a large multi-epoch high resolution spectroscopic investigation for the search of binary candidates in the Galactic Globular Cluster (GGC) M4. The aim of our work is the identification of the binary candidates, and the determination of the binary fraction and of the binary radial distribution. We present a large multi-epoch high resolution spectroscopic investigation for the search of binary candidates in the Galactic Globular Cluster (GGC) M4. The aim of our work is the identification of the binary candidates, and the determination of the binary fraction and of the binary radial distribution. The average radial velocity of the observed cluster members is $70.29+/-0.07(+/-0.3)(+/-0.1)km/s. The search for variations in radial velocities among the stars with multi-epoch observations yielded 57 binary star candidates. Our radial velocity measurement accuracy allowed us to identify at a 3sigma level binaries with radial velocity variations larger than ~0.3km/s for the target stars with V<15, and larger than ~0.5km/s for the targets with V>15. We identified 4 binary star candidates out of 97 observed targets inside the core radius, and 53 candidates out of 2372 observed stars outside the core radius. Accounting for the incompleteness affecting our survey, the lower limit for the total binary fraction is f=3.0+/-0.3%. The lower limit for the binary fraction in the cluster core is f=5.1+/-2.3%, while outside the core it decreases to f=3.0+/-0.4%. Similarly, we found f=4.5+/-0.4% and f=1.8+/-0.6% for the binary fraction inside and outside the half mass radius.

With the growth of psychology psychiatry criminology and the neighbouring sciences current research has demonstrated only too clearly the \"hit or miss\" character of sentencing policies hitherto adopted by the Courts. It is now recognised that whereas a particular measure such as probation may completely reform one offender another guilty of a similar offence and with similar antecedents may abuse the trust placed in him by the Courts and pursue a life of crime with added confidence."
A review of the past and present management of gill netting in Tasmania with particular reference to the Bastard Trumpeter, Latridopsis forsteri
Creators: name: Harries, DN
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Regulatory development of the inshore fishery in Tasmania is documented and compared with that of mainland Australian States, and the appropriateness of Tasmania's past and present management of the fishery is examined using information on one fish in particular, the bastard trumpeter (Latridopsis forsteri). Tasmania, with Western Australia, has lagged behind the other Australian States in meaningful regulation of inshore netting. The need for regulation first became apparent in Tasmania in the late 1870s and early 1880s, and limited control measures (minimum net mesh sizes and minimum fish sizes) were introduced in the 1880s and 1890s, primarily to protect juvenile stocks. The regulations have changed little since that time. Prior to 1925, the sea fishery was administered jointly with the more prominent inland fishery, and its management suffered accordingly. A separate sea fisheries authority was established in 1925, but its main responsibility was licensing and enforcement, and it was not until the mid 1970s that it gained true independence and the resources necessary for the development of sound management strategies. In the meantime, the inshore scale fishery of Tasmania had been eclipsed by the deep-sea, crayfish, and abalone fisheries. Anecdotal accounts in the early literature indicate that a decline in the inshore scale fishery in Tasmania in the late 1870s and early 1880s was associated with depletion of localised fishing grounds. Historical records reveal that another significant decline in the catch of bastard trumpeter occurred between 1910 and 1918. From 1930 to 1939, the catch fluctuated considerably, probably being maintained by more intensive fishing of the inshore waters. Since 1944/45 there has been a general and continuing decline in the catch. Present day commercial catches of bastard trumpeter are taken mainly in summer in the eastern and south eastern coastal waters of the State. They are rarely above 150 kg and usually below 50 kg. Non-commercial gill netting (by amateurs and crayfishermen seeking bait) appears to have increased markedly since the 1960s, and probably takes as many fish as commercial netting. Declines in the commercial catch of bastard trumpeter are related to gill netting effort, past and present regulation of gill netting, and the biology of this species. Changes to the present netting regulations in Tasmania are recommended in this light.

description: Introduction:Evidence for the benefits of health information technology (HIT) in the paediatricsetting is currently limited. In 2012, electronic-prescribing, standardisedconcentration infusions (SCIs) and smart-pump technology were implemented intothe paediatric critical care unit (PCCU) in Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin.Aim:To assess the impact of this new HIT on PCCU medication errors.Methodology:A Delphi consensus process developed a list of novel or previously unaddressedmedication errors. The results, combined with published medication errorsdefinitions, were applied to three further studies: a before and after study ofclinical pharmacist interventions; the direct observation of smart-pump infusions; aretrospective review of hospital voluntary incident reports. The respective focus ofeach study was prescribing errors, smart-pump-related administration errors, andpotentially severe infusion-related errors. Ethics approval was granted or waivedfor each study. Data analysis and statistically tests were performed usingMicrosoft Excel® and STATA® (Version 13.1).Results:The Delphi panel determined that 14 of 17 scenarios be included as medicationerrors; reaching consensus on electronic-prescribing scenarios was most difficult.Overall medication error rates were unchanged on implementation of electronicprescribing(10.2% v 9.8%, p=0.99). Altered error distribution was evident.Implementing SCIs reduced paper-based infusion errors (29% to 14.6%,p<0.001), with a further non-significant reduction identified with electronic infusionorders(8.4%, p>0.05). Direct observation identified medication errors in 5.4% ofinfusions (n=1023). Programming errors were uncommon (1.6%). The benefits ofthe pump-interface were demonstrated. Voluntary incident report review identifiedmore clinically significant errors (14.1% v ≤7%) than the other studies.Technology-generated errors, and the capacity to engineer out errors with HITsystems, were evident in all studies.Conclusion:The benefits of HIT in the complex PCCU setting have been demonstrated. SCIsand smart-pumps increase the safety of paediatric infusions. Reducing overallprescribing errors with electronic-prescribing is more difficult to achieve.

description: The mechanical behaviour of graphene flakes under both tension and compression is examined using a cantilever-beam arrangement. Two different sets of samples were employed involving flakes just supported on a plastic bar but also embedded within the plastic substrate. By monitoring the shift of the 2D Raman line with strain, information on the stress transfer efficiency as a function of stress sign and monolayer support were obtained. In tension, the embedded flake seems to sustain strains up to 1.3%, whereas in compression there is an indication of flake buckling at about 0.7% strain. The retainment of such a high critical buckling strain confirms the relative high flexural rigidity of the embedded monolayer.

title: An Experimental and Numerical Assessment of Ejected Martian Biosignatures Impacting Phobos
Creators: name: Emerland, Zoe Sara
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2023

description: Phobos, the larger and closer of Mars’ two moons, is not considered a location where extant or extinct life may exist. However, its close proximity to Mars means it could be a repository for impact-ejected material that may contain evidence of ancient martian life.

This thesis investigates the delivery of possible martian biosignatures to Phobos and their subsequent detection within the Phobos regolith. iSALE-2D hydrocode was used to investigate the conditions experienced by Mars-like projectiles impacting Phobos-like targets, that were then compared with a survival criteria of shock pressure and temperature for amino acids. The resultant amino acid survivability varied broadly. To validate the numerical simulations, hypervelocity impact experiments were conducted, whereby bespoke Mars-relevant basaltic projectiles doped with the potential organic biosignature glycine, were fired using the All-Axis Light Gas Gun (AALGG) into two Phobos regolith simulants at a range of velocities. The bespoke projectiles fragmented upon acceleration resulting in buckshot cluster impacts where the proportion of glycine that survived impacts at similar velocities varied broadly, regardless of Phobos simulant used. This presented a fundamentally different impact process than would be experienced on Phobos. Therefore, to validate the numerical simulations with an alternative approach, the impact experiment results were compared to numerical simulations on the spatial scale of the AALGG experiments, that focussed on cluster impacts. These simulations revealed that amino acid survival and detection could be significantly affected by how early within a cluster a projectile fragment impacts. Nevertheless, the small-scale numerical simulations aligned well with the impact experiments suggesting it is an adequate tool for estimating the temperatures and pressures in real impactors. Finally, comparing the results from the large-scale numerical simulations with the impact experiments it was revealed that the datasets could be fit by logistic function sigmoid curves with impact velocity.

This study highlights the stochastic nature of impact delivery, considers how some aspects of cluster impacts of martian ejecta on Phobos may result in resolvable biosignature survival, and provides a baseline from which more complex molecular biosignature survival and modification could be investigated. It supports the potential presence of martian material, including biosignatures, within Phobos’ regolith, which is significant for interpreting data from samples returned from Phobos by JAXA’s Martian Moons eXploration mission.
Racism Among Latinos and Its Influence on Latino Policy Attitudes
Creators: name: Salinas, Eduardo
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Scholars find suggestive evidence that Latino prejudice and stereotypes toward Blacks are consequential for Latino policy attitudes (Hunt 2016; Krupnikov and Piston 2016; Lopez and Pantoja 2004). However, these studies do not theoretically explain why Latinos may hold racially prejudiced views against Blacks in the first place. And to date no study explains why such prejudice among Latinos may cause them to oppose policies that aid their own group, such as affirmative action. This project tackles these questions directly via a mixed-method approach using historical research, analyses of observational data, and original survey experimentation. Overall, this dissertation demonstrates that anti-Black racial prejudice among Latinos has historical precedent outside the United States. Furthermore, this project provides empirical evidence that anti-Black racial prejudice is present among Latinos at nearly identical levels and nearly identical intensity as is found among non-Hispanic Whites. Lastly, not only does anti-Black prejudice among Latinos correlate with Latino policy attitudes, this project shows it is a primary causal driver of Latino public policy attitudes.

description: Strong final-state interactions create a pronounced cusp in eta' --> eta pi0 pi0 decays. We adapt and generalize the non-relativistic effective field theory framework developed for the extraction of pi pi scattering lengths from K --> 3 pi decays to this case. The cusp effect is predicted to have an effect of more than 8% on the decay spectrum below the pi+ pi- threshold.

Martensitic transformations in Ag-Cd and Ag-Zn alloys
Creators: name: Kirshnan, R.V.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A study has been made of the martensitic transformations occurring in β-phase silver-cadmium and silver-zinc alloys. In silver-cadmium alloys the M(s) temperature was found to change from -44°C to -137°C as the cadmium content changed from 44.2 at. % Cd to 47.0 at. % Cd. Alloys of silver-zinc did not show any martensitic transformation; even on cooling to liquid helium temperature. The thermal martensite in Ag-45 at. % Cd alloy was found to have an orthorhombic structure of the 2H type. This was confirmed by X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy. A spontaneous martensite with a face centred cubic structure was found to occur along the thin edges of perforated specimens used for electron microscopy, because of the relaxation of volume constraints during thinning. In both Ag-45 at. % Cd and Ag-41 at.% Zn alloys a <111> slip direction was found. Also it was shown that Ag-45 at. % Cd alloy was elastically anisotropic, a characteristic very common to β-phase alloys. In both Ag-Cd and Ag-Zn alloys a face centred tetragonal structure could be formed on deforming the specimens by rolling or by tensile deformation. The structure changed to close-packed on severe deformation e.g. by filing. At lower Cd and Zn contents this close-packed structure was face centred cubic, whilst at higher alloy concentrations, this structure was close-packed hexagonal. Pseudo-elasticity was found to occur by stress-induced martensitic transformation. Maximum pseudo-elasticity occurred at temperatures just above A(f) and the actual amount of pseudo-elasticity was found to be dependent on the orientation of the tensile axis. The strain memory effect was studied by deforming specimens below A(f) and then heating. At temperatures below M(f), deformation of the martensite takes place and it is suggested that there is a change in the martensite structure, involving a change from thermal martensite to stress-induced martensite. The experimentally determined habit planes for thermal, stress-induced and deformation martensites were found to agree well with the values obtained using phenomenological theory assuming a {110}<11Ī0> microscopic shear. The 'elastic' elongations accompanying the transformation could be accounted for using the theory. A mechanism suggesting the course of the transformation was developed.
Chiral anomalies in curved space
Creators: name: Gordon, J J
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The subject of this thesis is a combinatoric method developed by the author to calculate the gravitational contributions to the anomalies in the chiral currents of spin 1/2 and spin 3/2 fields in arbitrary space-time dimensions. Using general arguments it is possible to reduce the work involved in finding either of these contributions to the evaluation of a single one-loop Feynman diagram. It is a straightforward matter to calculate the loop momentum integral in this diagram, but one is then faced with the daunting task of summing the remaining function of the external momenta over all permutations of the external graviton legs. Chapter 4 outlines a notation by which the quantities relevant to this sum may be described. This notation is then used to show that recurrence relations exist between certain of the quantities in different dimensions. By solving the recurrence relations one finally arrives, with the aid of contour integral methods, at expressions for the spin 1/2 and spin 3/2 anomalies in terms of Bernoulli numbers. The calculation of the spin 3/2 anomaly is complicated by the presence of gauge degrees of freedom in the Rarita-Schwinger tensor-spinor field. In the conventional Rarita-Schwinger formulation of spin 3/2 theory both the calculation of the spin 3/2 anomaly and a proof of its gauge independence are practically impossible due to the involved forms of the propagator and vertices. However, the Rarita-Schwinger formulation is not the only formulation of spin 3/2 field theory. In fact there exists a one-parameter family of possible formulations. As it happens, one of these formulations is particularly suited to a calculation of the spin 3/2 anomaly, while in another of them the gauge-independence of the anomaly is made manifest. I therefore adopted these two formulations when calculating the spin 3/2 anomaly and demonstrating its gauge-independence, and the work of this thesis is based on the assumption that the spin 3/2 anomaly remains the same in different formulations. Since all formulations within the one-parameter family may be reached from the Rarita-Schwinger formulation via linear transformations of the field variable, this assumption is entirely reasonable.

"Google, and Twitter, and Bitly—oh my!": Novel Approaches to Repository Collection Development

description: In order to capitalize on the recent increase in traffic to Academic Commons, the digital research repository of Columbia University and its affiliates, we have implemented a couple of new collection development strategies that focus on faculty who are strongly motivated to enhance their visibility on the Web. The first is using a set of weekly Google Alerts and RSS feeds to track mentions of Columbia researchers in the news media. We then contact them with a customized outreach message inviting them to deposit their work. We also tweet about new content added in this way. The second is emailing Columbia researchers a monthly usage report for their content detailing how many times each of their works in the repository has been viewed and downloaded, both that past month, and over their lifetime. This report also includes a link to our newly designed self-deposit form, thereby providing a gentle, but regular, reminder to faculty about the value of adding their work to the repository. The third is to further enhance the visibility of Academic Commons content by faculty in the news by coining a Bit.ly URL that points to a dynamically-generated search results page for their content and then using Twitter to push that URL out to relevant Twitter feeds, including the faculty member's and those of the department or center with which they are affiliated. We also use hashtags to take advantage of the additional boost to visibility that they can provide. Together these efforts have proved highly successful at motivating faculty to deposit their work in an ongoing fashion: every week we identify a dozen or more researchers and anywhere from a third to half respond by depositing work in the repository; every month over 1,000 email stats reports go out and, as a result, dozens of new items are deposited; several times a week we tweet about this content, generating hundreds of additional pageviews and downloads every month.
Environmental policy in Australia : a thematic review
Creators: name: Eberhard, Ian H
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The importance of 'environmental policy' and its claim to a special portfolio in government at the national level was first recognized in 1971. Policy since then has grown rapidly. It is now diverse, complex and influential in public affairs. A great deal has happened in little more than fifteen years and it has been difficult for practitioners, partisans and commentators to keep in touch with events in particular areas of interest, let alone with events covering the field as a whole. Environmental policy has a strong claim to critical attention. In view of the pace of events, it is not surprising that the literature of serious study of Australian Environmental Policy, as distinct from other writing and documentation, is limited. Environmental histories have been used as case studies in reviews directed at the interest-group theory of politics; some attention has been paid to inter-governmental relations, but there are few other detailed commentaries of an interpretive kind. There has been equal neglect of policy outputs, in terms of rigorous examination of efficiency, effectiveness and impacts. More contributions at these levels are undoubtedly needed. This study however, takes a broad perspective. It views Australian Environmental Policy (AEP) as a working sub-system of public administration. It draws selectively but widely from the whole field. Its particular focus is a search for 'structural issues'. At the same time it attempts to present a generally useful guide and reference source to documentation and literature. It is written with the idea in mind that administrators and managers may have a need for a work of this kind.
