description: The analysis of the third INTEGRAL/IBIS survey has revealed several new cataclysmic variables, most of which turned out to be intermediate polars, thus confirming that these objects are strong emitters in hard X-rays. Here we present high energy spectra of all 22 cataclysmic variables detected in the 3rd IBIS survey and provide the first average spectrum over the 20-100 keV band for this class. Our analysis indicates that the best-fit model is a thermal bremsstrahlung with an average temperature of ~22 keV. Recently, eleven (ten intermediate polars and one polar) of these systems have been followed-up by Swift/XRT (operating in the 0.3-10 keV energy band), thus allowing us to investigate their spectral behaviour over the range ~0.3-100 keV. Thanks to this wide energy coverage, it was possible for these sources to simultaneously measure the soft and hard components and estimate their temperatures. The soft emission, thought to originate in the irradiated poles of the white dwarf atmosphere, is well described by a blackbody model with temperatures in the range ~60-120 eV. The hard emission, which is supposed to be originated from optically thin plasma in the post-shock region above the magnetic poles, is indeed well modelled with a bremsstrahlung model with temperatures in the range ~16-33 keV, similar to the values obtained from the INTEGRAL data alone. In several cases we also find the presence of a complex absorber: one totally (with NH ~(0.4-28) x 10^{21} cm^{-2}) and one partially (with NH ~(0.7-9) x 10^{23} cm^{-2}) covering the source. Only in four cases (V709 Cas, GK Per, IGR J06253+7334 and IGR J17303-0601), we find evidence for the presence of an iron line at 6.4 keV. We discuss our findings in the light of the systems parameters and cataclysmic variables/intermediate polars modelling scenario.

description: Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) kommen in Deutschland als Instrument der Quartiersentwicklung seit 2005 zum Einsatz. Als spezielle Form des Public-Private-Partnership stehen BIDs für neue Interaktionsformen und Akteurskonstellationen im Rahmen des Leitbilds der unternehmerischen Stadt. In diesem Beitrag wird einleitend die Neuartigkeit des BID-Ansatzes gegenüber anderen privat unterstützten Aktivitäten zur Revitalisierung eines Standorts herausgearbeitet. Darauf aufbauend wird der Fokus auf die zentrale Akteursgruppe der Grundeigentümer gerichtet, welche mit Ihren Sonderbeiträgen die BID-Aktivitäten zur Quartiersentwicklung finanzieren. Zu diesem Zweck werden die Ergebnisse einer umfangreichen Eigentümerbefragung im größten deutschen BID im Bremer „Viertel“ vorgestellt. Die Ergebnisse überraschen durch ein sehr gespaltenes sowie tendenziell negatives Meinungsbild der befragten Eigentümer bezüglich der BID-Aktivitäten. Die Ursachen der schlechten Bewertung werden aufgearbeitet, um darauf aufbauend Handlungsempfehlungen abzuleiten.

Zymograms as criteria in the taxonomy of fungi
Creators: name: Cruickshank, Ralph Hayes
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: A sensitive and efficient electrophoretic technique for the examination of fungal pectic enzymes was developed. This involved electrophoresis of culture fluids in polyacrylamide slab gels containing pectin. Gels were soaked in malic acid solution which gradually reduced the gel pH from 8.7 to 3.0 and allowed the enzymes to act on the incorporated pectin when the pH was suitable. Ruthenium red treatment stained the unaltered pectin revealing unstained zones due to polygalacturonase activity and zones with intensified staining where pectinesterases had converted the pectin to pectic acid. Results were recorded as photograms. Other enzyme systems were investigated. Zymogram clarity was improved by reduction of gel thickness from 3.5 to 2.0 mm and sample wells from 15 to 4.5 ul. Curvature of buffer fronts was eliminated by efficient gel cooling. Tailing was reduced and isozyme band clarity was improved by loading samples as a slurry with Sephadex G150‚ÄövÑvÆsuperfine. Thorough gel polymerization before gel moulds were opened was found to be essential for migration characteristics to be uniform through the depth of the gels. The technique was applied to the enzymes of Botrytis and Penicillium species and the Rhizoctonia complex. The influences of culture medium composition were examined for each genus and media suitable for pectic enzyme production were developed. Potent yields of polygalacturonase were obtained from Botrytis species in the absence of pectin. Zymograms from these differed from those produced from pectin media and both were used to advantage. Distinctive and characteristic zymograms were obtained from Botrytis species and provided an accurate means for their identification, and indications of synonymy. An extensive study of B. cinerea detected nine pectic enzyme genotypes. One of these was principally associated with Vitis and may constitute B. fuckeliana. The use of zymograms as taxonomic criteria in Penicillium provided a means for the accurate identification of species in this notoriously difficult genus. The extensive synonymy in subgenus Penicillium was examined by zymograms and 80 taxa were assigned to 21 species, with significant changes in assignments to P. aurantiogriseum and P. commune. The latter was shown to be the previously unknown ancestor of the domesticated P. camembertii. Zymogram studies revealed the presence of five zymogram groups in Thanatephorus, five in Ceratobasidium and one in Waitea, from Rhizoctonia isolates provided from the grain belt of Western Australia. A similar result was obtained from isolates provided from South Australia and a link was shown between grouping of isolates by anastomosis behaviour and by zymograms in the case of four anastomosis groups available from that State. Other anastomosis groups and species in the Ceratobasidiaceae were examined and the correlations found between zymogram patterns and anastomosis groups and subgroups gave promise of aiding the practical recognition of species in the complex.

Kinetic study of the reaction of O2(1[delta]g) with some olefins and amines
Creators: name: Furukawa, Kiyoshi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: O2(1[delta]g) was produced in a discharge flow system and used to study the kinetics of its interaction with a number of olefins, amines and a sulfide. Rate constants were determined for the removal of O2(1[delta]g) by a series of olefins at a total pressure of 1.0 torr. The values obtained were: 1.1 x 10(7) 1mol(-1) sec(-1) by cyclopentadiene; 3.5 x 10(6) 1mol(-1) sec(-1) by 2,5-dimethylfuran; 1.6 x 10(6) 1mol(-1) sec(-1) by 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene; 1.0 x 10(5) 1mol(-1) sec(-1) by 2-methyl-2-butene; 3.2 x 10(4) 1mol(-1) sec(-1) by cis-2-butene; 1.3 x 10(4) 1mol(-1) sec(-1) by trans-2-butene. Some correlation was found between the ionization energy of the olefin and the magnitude of the rate constant. For some of the olefins the rate constants were found to increase with increasing pressure. A detailed study of this trend using 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene, 2-methyl-2-butene and cis-2-butene showed that the interaction could be analyzed into the following second order and third order processes: O2(1[delta]g) + Olefin [formula omitted] hydroperoxide; O2(1[delta]g) + Olefin [formula omitted] + Olefin; O2(1[delta]g) + Olefin + [formula omitted] + Olefin. From the kinetic measurements and a determination of the ratio of peroxide formed to O2(1[delta]g) removed the following rate constants were calculated: ( Reactant ) [formula omitted]; 2,3-Dimethyl 0.98 x 10(6) 0.3 x 10(6) 1.26 x 10(10); -2-butene; 2-Methyl 1.1 x 10(4); 1 x 10(5) 1.4 x 10(9); -2-butene The study was extended to include triethylamine, diethylamine and diethylsulfide, where complications are more easily avoided since no chemical reaction is observed. For these quenching species the following rate constants were obtained: Quencher [formula omitted]; Triethyl- 1 x 10(6) 3.5 x 10(10) 2 x 10(10) 1.5 x 10(10); amine; Diethyl- 5.9 x 10(4) 2.7 x 10(8); amine; Diethylsulfide- 8.7 x 10(9). Taking into account some earlier quenching studies conducted in the condensed phase and the relative efficiencies of different third bodies, a set of elementary processes has been proposed which involves the participation of a weakly bound complex between O2(1[delta]g) and the quenchers which displays a third order quenching process.
Computing in the Tasmanian state service

Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: There is no major study available of actual and projected investment in computing by Tasmanian Government sources. This Dissertation attempts to sketch a picture of the cost centres involved in Tasmanian Government computing investments and to identify trends and projected trends in that investment picture. Chapter 2 provides the historical perspective on the way in which computing has developed in the Tasmanian State Service. Chapter 3 examines in detail actual and proposed investment in computing from 1984/85. The majority of data is taken from the Tasmanian State Service Agencies EDP Strategic Plans, which are not published. Chapter 4 examines the administrative controls and management structures which have had an impact on the way in which Agencies have made computing investment decisions. The risks and exposures which these Agencies acknowledge exist, and those of which they appear to be unaware, are examined. In the final part of this Dissertation some proposals are made to reorganise certain administrative structures which impact on computing resources in the State Service. In addition, based on the trends observed in the investment picture and the risks acknowledged by the managers, certain proposals for staff development are made. The investment picture revealed from the examination of the unpublished data indicates that around $17.7 million to $19.4 million will be spent on computing activities in the Tasmanian State Service in 1986/87. Over the past three years, investment in computing has been mainly proportioned between capital equipment costs (18-33%), associated recurrent costs (34-14%) and staffing costs (31-40%). The study demonstrates that the trends in predictions regarding non-specialist users requiring access to computer systems will require significant improvements in staff development, software ergonomics and capacity planning by DP managers as well as policy redirections which appear to be largely unrecognised at present.

description: We review the mechanism of spin-lattice coupling in relieving the geometrical frustration of pyrochlore antiferromagnets, in particular spinel oxides. The tetrahedral unit, which is the building block of the pyrochlore lattice, undergoes a spin-driven Jahn-Teller instability when lattice degrees of freedom are coupled to the antiferromagnetism. By restricting our considerations to distortions which preserve the translational symmetries of the lattice, we present a general theory of the collective spin-Jahn-Teller effect in the pyrochlore lattice. One of the predicted lattice distortions breaks the inversion symmetry and gives rise to a chiral pyrochlore lattice, in which frustrated bonds form helices with a definite handedness. The chirality is transferred to the spin system through spin-orbit coupling, resulting in a long-period spiral state, as observed in spinel CdCr2O4. We discuss explicit models of spin-lattice coupling using local phonon modes, and their applications in other frustrated magnets.

Armut erscheint dabei aufgrund der damit einhergehenden Einschränkungen im materiellen Lebensstandard, der mit ihr verbundenen Unsicherheit und den entsprechenden psychischen Belastungen als problematisch. Reichtum dagegen wird besonders dann kritisiert, wenn bestimmte Konsum- und Verhaltensmuster nicht (mehr) über die Erfordernisse einer als allgemeingültig anerkannten Lebensweise gerechtfertigt werden können, sondern ausschließlich durch Distinktionsbestrebungen motiviert zu sein scheinen.

description: The motion picture industry is one pillar of the so-called 'cultural industries' which are highly concentrated in large urban agglomerations. Personal connections to the various informal networks found in these locations play an important role in facilitating information flows and reproduces these clusters’ competitive advantage. However, the clusters and their markets do not exist in a vacuum: creative content, capital and creative talent are also traded and connected in global networks, bridging the physical gaps between these creative clusters. Against this background, this paper addresses the issue of how network relations beyond cluster boundaries and across large spatial, social and cultural distances are coordinated in a branch of the cultural industry such as motion picture production.

description: Der Staat als Arbeitgeber hat in den letzten Jahren zunehmend seine in der "goldenen Ära des Wohlfahrtstaates" (etwa 1960-1980) entwickelte Rolle als vorbildlicher Arbeitgeber aufgegeben. Im Zuge effizienzorientierter Re-Regulierung und politischer Dezentralisierung nähern sich die Arbeits- und Beschäftigungsbedingungen im deutschen öffentlichen Sektor den Verhältnissen in der Privatwirtschaft an. Damit einher geht eine über die traditionelle Statusgruppendifferenzierung hinausgehende Fragmentierung der Beschäftigtengruppen der öffentlichen Dienste. Zugleich werden die über lange Zeit kooperativ-konsensuellen Beziehungen zwischen Arbeitnehmer- und Arbeitgeberseite heterogener und konflikthafter. In diesem Prozess, so unsere These, ändern Gewerkschaften wie Berufsverbände ihre arbeits- und professionspolitischen Strategien und besetzen neue Felder in der betrieblichen, politischen und öffentlichen Arena.
Assessing organizational effectiveness in Australia's Plant Quarantine Service
Creators: name: Djuwadi,
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Plant quarantine is significant for countries like Australia whose agricultural sector plays an important role in their income earnings. This activity is carried out with the aim to protect agriculture and the environment from the damages which may be caused by hazardous organisms inadvertently introduced by men. Those organisms may be plant pests or diseases, whose introduction can be harmful. That is why they must always be kept outside Australia, and this is done through plant quarantine. The plant quarantine activities in Australia are carried out by the States' Departments of Agriculture on behalf of the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth department which is responsible for plant quarantine at the present time is the Department of Primary Industry. This responsibility is discharged through one of its eleven divisions-The Australian Agricultural Health and Quarantine Service. The Department of Primary Industry has just recently been given the responsibility of plant quarantine following the administrative arrangement which transferred to it that responsibility from the Department of Health. Due to the importance of plant quarantine, the organization which is responsible for its discharge must always be effective.. This dissertation is concerned with the study of organizational effectiveness of Australia's plant quarantine service, in terms of how the organization can be assessed. In the first part of this dissertation, the literature on organizational effectiveness is reviewed with the purpose of identifying a framework for analysing the effectiveness of the concerned organization. Current assessments of the organization are also reviewed. In the second part of this dissertation, the state of Australia's plant quarantine service is forwarded as background information. In the last part of this dissertation, the assessment problem and its application to Australia's plant quarantine service is discussed. The proposed model in this dissertation is a modification of the process model. While it is used in assessing the effectiveness of Australia's plant quarantine service it may also be used in other plant quarantine organizations, for example in Indonesia's, plant quarantine service, in which the writer has been working for the last fourteen years.

description: Electron systems that possess light-like dispersion relations or the conical Dirac spectrum, such as graphene and bismuth, have recently been shown to harbor unusual collective states in high magnetic fields. Such states are possible because their light-like electrons come in spin pairs that are chiral,which means that their direction of propagation is tied to a quantity called pseudospin that describes their location in the crystal lattice. An emerging direction in quantum materials research is the manipulation of atomic spin-orbit coupling to simulate the effect of a spin dependent magnetic field,in attempt to realize novel spin phases of matter. This effect has been proposed to realize systems consisting of unpaired Dirac cones that are helical, meaning their direction of propagation is tied to the electron spin itself, which are forbidden to exist in graphene or bismuth. The experimental existence of topological order can not be determined without spin-resolved measurements. Here we report a spin-and angle-resolved photoemission study of the hexagonal surface of the Bi2Te3 and Bi{2-x}MnxTe3 series, which is found to exhibit a single helical Dirac cone that is fully spin-polarized. Our observations of a gap in the bulk spin-degenerate band and a spin-resolved surface Dirac node close to the chemical potential show that the low energy dynamics of Bi2Te3 is dominated by the unpaired spin-helical Dirac modes. Our spin-texture measurements prove the existence of a rare topological phase in this materials class for the first time, and suggest its suitability for novel 2D Dirac spin device applications beyond the chiral variety or traditional graphene.

Gender identity in the homosexual male : identifying and testing two theories of object relations within the personality
Creators: name: Franklin, Kevin
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Male homosexuality can be understood as an expression of the gender of the self. Three aspects of the self are proposed in a hypothetical model of the homosexual male and compared to the heterosexual male and female. One aspect is subjectivity and this study hypothesizes that the subjective experience of the gender of the self is associated with homosexuality and heterosexuality. The remaining two aspects are both objectivities. It is hypothesized that sexual preference is the objective expression of the gender of the subjective self. It is hypothesized that sexual preference is not related to biological sex (sexual identity). The two objective attitudes are defined as the extremities of a continuum of spontaneity: from involved objectivity to detached objectivity. This difference in spontaneity within a homosexual group describes the differential development of homosexual identification: from a developed homosexual role to an under-developed or absent homosexual role. The absence or development of the homosexual role are differences in spontaneity and these differences are associated with measures of psycho- and socio-pathology. Traditionally, homosexuality has been understood to be an outcome of a different sexuality. This study shows that sexuality is not related to homosexuality as a subjective expression of self. Sexual preference is, however, the objective expression of that subjectivity. Sex and gender are confounded in the literature. The confusion of the sex and gender literature, and the perplexity of the homosexuality literature, is partially resolved by the separation of two distinct but inter-related frames reference. These are the sociological and the psychological frames of reference. The results strongly support the conclusion that homosexuality is related to the subjective experience of the self and that homosexuality is an objective expression of that subjectivity as a sexual preference. Homosexuality is not synonymous with sexual preference or homosexual role, it also includes the psychological precursor of the subjective experience of gender, that is, gender identity. There is empirical support for a proposed persons-grammar theory of personality that uses a psychological frame of reference. Overall the results support this theoretical development and models of homosexuality, anxiety, and psychosis utilizing this theoretical framework.

We use Poisson regressions to test our hypothesis that war was a catalyst of welfare legislation especially in countries that were heavily exposed to the dreads of war. By welfare legislation we mean the inaugural adoption and major reforms across four programs (old age and disability benefits, sickness and maternity benefits, unemployment compensation, and family allowances). Our findings suggest that both world wars are key factors for explaining the timing of comprehensive welfare reforms and outweigh the significance other factors such as regime type or level of economic development.
The Janus Face of Europeanisation: Explaining Cross-Sectoral Differences in Public Utilities
Creators: name: Schmitt, Carina
Publisher: name: Taylor & Francis
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Privatisierung
subject: 320

description: Although policymakers broadly sought to liberalise network based utilities, a more detailed look at privatisation pathways reveals a heterogeneous picture and remarkable sector specific differences. This paper examines why efforts among political actors to privatise public utilities differ so greatly in the telecommunications, postal, and railway sectors. By estimating probit models, it is demonstrated that firm characteristics and sector specific EU integration account for cross sector differences in the material privatisation. More specifically, governments dispose of the most efficient firms first to maximise revenues from privatisation sales with presumably low political costs. Regulations at the European level pushed governments to privatise their national postal providers, while privatisation in the telecommunications sector seems to be a global trend. In the railway sector, exceptional clauses and regulations have rather decelerated privatisation.
Discrete diffraction and shape-invariant beams in optical waveguide arrays
Creators: name: Longhi, S.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: General properties of linear propagation of discretized light in homogeneous and curved waveguide arrays are comprehensively investigated and compared to those of paraxial diffraction in continuous media. In particular, general laws describing beam spreading, beam decay and discrete far-field patterns in homogeneous arrays are derived using the method of moments and the steepest descend method. In curved arrays, the method of moments is extended to describe evolution of global beam parameters. A family of beams which propagate in curved arrays maintaining their functional shape -referred to as discrete Bessel beams- is also introduced. Propagation of discrete Bessel beams in waveguide arrays is simply described by the evolution of a complex $q$ parameter similar to the complex $q$ parameter used for Gaussian beams in continuous lensguide media. A few applications of the $q$ parameter formalism are discussed, including beam collimation and polygonal optical Bloch oscillations. \

Quatuor Pour Temps Incertains (Part 4: Cello)
Creators: name: Elia, Anthony J.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2013
Subjects: Music

description: The “Quatuor pour temps incertains” is a Quartet for Bb Clarinet, Violin, ‘Cello, and Piano, inspired by the work “Quatuor pour la fin du temps” by Oliver Messiaen. The present work is also in 8-movements, and composed with the same instrumentation as Messiaen’s work. The parts are based on aspects of life, memory, spirit, and prayer, for example, though not directly tied to Messiaen’s biblical inspirations. The composer of the present work first got the idea to write this “Quatuor,” after reading a piece about Messiaen by clarinetist Nurhak Tuncer, for whom this was written. The 8-movements of this piece include: Part 1: Incertitude, Part 2: Fragilté, Part 3: Recherche, Part 4: E’quilibre, Part 5: Esprit, Part 6: Repos, Part 7: Prière, Part 8: Résurrection. (All individual parts for the 8 movements will be available on Academic Commons).

As the scale and types of data being generated by research are constantly, and respectively, growing and evolving, CUL/IS is developing policies, procedures, communications, and training to accommodate these transformations.
Magnetic resonance studies of some X-irradiated hydrogen-bonded arsenates
Creators: name: Dalal, Nar Singh
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The techniques of EPR, ENDOR and double ENDOR were employed with a view to obtaining detailed information on hydrogen-bonding and on the role of protons and heavier nuclei in the phase transitions in the X-irradiated ferroelectrics KH₂AsO₄, KD₂AsO₄, RbH₂AsO₄, mixed KH₂PO₄₋ KH₂AsO₄ and the antiferroelectric compound NH₄H₂AsO₄. The paramagnetic Centre AsO[sup 4-/sub 4], formed by the capture of an electron by an AsO[sup 3-/sub 4] ion, was used as a microscopic probe. EPR investigations, combined with the use of electric fields, have resulted in an accurate interpretation of the As⁷⁵ hyperfine structure in the EPR spectra of AsO[sup 4-/sub 4]. The use of EPR to obtain the dielectric hysterisis loop has been demonstrated for the first time. ENDOR studies of the AsO[sup 4-/sub 4] centre in KH₂AsO₄ at 4.2°K have yielded accurate superhyperfine parameters. The results provide evidence for covalent character in both the O-H….and O….H- parts of the O-H….O bond in such systems. A new method has been proposed for determining the signs of hyperfine couplings for S=1/2 systems and has been illustrated by application to the AsO[sup 4-/sub 4] centre in KH₂AsO₄. Analysis of the temperature dependence of the EPR spectra indicates that both the As⁷⁵ and the protons perform jump-type motions. At lower temperatures, however, the correlation times for the As⁷⁵ and the proton motions are found to be essentially the same. This provides experimental evidence for the recently postulated coupled proton-lattice motion in these systems. A method for performing Electron-Nuclear Triple Resonance experiments has been demonstrated. This development may extend the range of applicability of the ENDOR technique.

Co-evolution of institutions, culture and industrial organization in the film industry: the case of Shanghai in China
Creators: name: Mossig, Ivo

Publisher: name: Taylor & Francis
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: co-evolution
subject: film industry
subject: Shanghai
subject: China
subject: 910

description: Research about the Chinese film industry is far behind the actual development of practice, especially considering its evolution and main influential factors. Furthermore, existing research on the film industry in economic geography is mostly conducted from the perspective of cluster theory with lesser attention to institutions or culture. In this paper the theory of co-evolution is used to tackle these two gaps. The role of institutions, culture and industrial organization as three fundamental elements of co-evolution is pointed out and discussed in the theoretical section. The phenomena of co-evolution in the Shanghai film industry as important examples of the Chinese film industry are analyzed in the empirical part. We phase the development process in four periods and differentiate identified effects of co-evolution between institution, culture and industrial organization based on the specific setting in each particular period.

Review of the literature on the biology of Tasmanian native freshwater fish.
Creators: name: Fulton, Wayne
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Although Tasmania posesses a large amount of freshwater and a considerable variety of freshwater habitats it does not have a correspondingly large native freshwater fish fauna. The fauna is low in species number and also lacks diversity. Twenty five species are recognised in this work as native \freshwater\" fishes. The term freshwater cannot be used too rigidly as many other species of fish may spend part of their life in freshwater ( water with salinity below 3p.p.t. is henceforth used to define freshwater). All of the fish included in the review with the possible exception of the whitebait Lovettia sealii (Johnston) would appear to require or perhaps prefer freshwater for part or all of their life. Lovettia sealii has traditionally been included in works on freshwater fish in Tasmania and it is therefore included with that group in this work. Of the 25 species 18 are of the order Salmoniformes suborder Galaxioidei (McDowal3. 1969) and no less than 10 are of the genus Galaxias. The remaining 7 species are spread through 3 orders as follows: Petromyzoniformes (2 species) Anguilliformes (2 species) and Perciformes (3 species). The fauna shows an amazing radiation in the galaxiid group but suprisingly little activity elsewhere. In fact all of the 13 species endemic to the State are galaxioid fishes. However there has been little study of any detail done in Tasmania on any of the native freshwater fishes. The only exception to this is the work by Blackburn (1950) on L. sealii. With the exception of some brief scattered details on some species all knowledge of the Tasmanian native fishes is a result of work done elsewhere in Australia and New Zealand. It is beyond the intended scope of this thesis to include a review of all the taxonomic work on the native freshwater fish of Tasmania as this would be as voluminous as the biological data. The treatment of the taxonomic data will be in the form of a species list as seen at the present time with a separate synonomy giving names and first user only for each species then a brief coverage of the major taxonomic changes that have occurred since the original description of each species. The literature search relied heavily on the extensive reference lists in many papers by McDowall ( in particular: 1964a 1968b 1970c 1971a 1972a b 1976c) and in the papers directly relating to the Tasmanian fauna by Frankenberg (1974) and Andrews (1976)."
