description: Le ciment Portland composé, CEM II, s’obtient en remplaçant une partie de clinker par une addition. Cette addition, qui peut être inerte comme elle peut être active, fait l’objet de la norme NF 197-1. Parmi les matériau cités dans cette norme on trouve les pouzzolanes naturelles et artificielles. Le métakaolin est une pouzzolane artificielle dont les performances ont suscité l’intérêt de plusieurs recherches et ont fait l’objet de la norme NF P-18 513. La pouzzolanicité de Métakaolin, comme toute autre pouzzolane, réside dans son pouvoir de réagir, en présence d’eau, avec l’hydroxyde calcium Ca(OH)2 dissous pour former des nouvelles phases hydratées (CSH, CAH, CASH) comparables à ceux formés lors de l’hydratation d’un ciment. Les propriétés pouzzolaniques du Métakaolin, ont été également remarquées chez d’autres substances argileuses, telles que : la montmorillonite, la muscovite, l’illite…. Cet article présente une recherche récapitulative sur ce qu’il y a dans la littérature des pouzzolanes artificielles, en matière de : élaboration, pouzzolanicité, méthodes d’évaluation et effets des argiles calcinées sur la matrice cimentaire.

description: By introducing long rigid ligands into polyoxometalate (POM) systems, a new POM-based hybrid compound with CDS topology, {[Cu(bpe)]2(H2SiMo12O40)}·(bpe)·2H2O (1) (bpe = bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene), has been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by physical methods. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the ladder-like 1D structure of 1 is formed from Keggin clusters modified by the wavy ([Cu(bpe)]n) chains. Compound 1 contains two types of tunnels along the a axis and the [1-10] axis, which are occupied by isolated bpe molecules. Compound 1 bulk-modified carbon-paste electrode (1-CPE) displays good electrocatalytic activity toward the reduction of nitrite and bromate, and photocatalytic activities indicate that 1 presents good degradation activity and may be a photocatalyst to decompose some organic dyes.

description: There has been a meteoric rise in enrolments of overseas students in cooking courses in Australia from around 1019 in 2004 to 8242 in 2008. All are trained in full-time courses conducted mainly by private providers—rather than via the apprenticeship system as is the case for Australian-trained cooks. Most of the overseas students who have finished these courses have subsequently gained permanent residence as cooks. Cooking is now the second largest occupation, behind accounting among those gaining permanent entry visas under the onshore former overseas student visa subcategories. This article examines the rules governing the training and subsequent visaing of these cooks. It concludes that there are serious gaps in the rules governing their training and the assessment of their competency. In large part because of these deficiencies, only a minority obtain employment in Australia as trade level cooks. Copyright. Monash University and the author/s

description: Two π-conjugated organic building blocks, TMPB and TPPB (TMPB = 1,3,5-tris(2-methylthiol-pyrimidin-4-yl)benzene; TPPB = 1,3,5-tris(2-propylthiol-pyrimidin-4-yl)benzene), have been prepared which only differ in the length of linear side chain attached to sulfur. Structural comparison between complexes of TMPB and TPPB reveals that the side chain has a great effect in modulating both the molecular structure and the molecular alignment. Reactions of TMPB and TPPB with CuI under the same conditions show that the side chain can exert impact on the assembly of coordination polymer. Assembly reaction with CuI is sensitive to the change in length of side chain, that is the shorter the side chain, the faster the reaction. Reaction of TPPB with CuI gives a 1-D chain structure of [Cu4I4(TPPB)2]n (1) based on two distinctive Cu4I4 clusters, whilst only microcrystalline powder or precipitate can be obtained for TMPB. The side chain can, thus, tune the assembly of coordination polymer in terms of the assembly structure as well as its packing manner.

description: L’activité de construction génère d’une part, l’épuisement des gisements naturels de granulats qui imposent de chercher des nouvelles sources d’approvisionnement, et d’autre part, l’accumulation des quantités des déchets de construction, qui peuvent être estimées à des millions de tonnes par an dans les pays du monde notamment en Algérie. Le recyclage de ces matériaux déjà engagé dans le secteur des travaux publics est la solution la plus prometteuse. Le recyclage de l’ancien matériau offre de multiples avantages sur le plan environnemental : une économie de matériaux naturels, une forte diminution du trafic de poids lourds qui transportent ces matériaux et ainsi une grande économie d’énergie. Ce travail constitue une contribution expérimentale à l’étude de la durabilité des différents matériaux provenant de la démolition du bâtiment (béton, brique et parpaing) en vue de leur utilisation dans les infrastructures des chaussées souples. Les résultats obtenus sont extrêmement encourageants pour l’incorporation de ces matériaux recyclés dans le corps de chaussées.

Contemporary fertility patterns in Australia: first data from the 1996 census

description: The results of the 1996 Census show that levels of fertility are falling for almost all categories of women and for women as a whole. Most young women would like to have at least two children but economic and social circumstances force them to curtail their preferences. Very low fertility is not in Australia’s interests. The solution lies not in forcing women out of the work force but in supporting them in their desire to combine work and family. Copyright. Monash University and the author/s

description: Cette étude présente le développement d’un béton innovant qui réutilise les sédiments marins en tant que matière première et en remplacement des granulats traditionnellement utilisés. Il est fabriqué à partir d’une mousse pour lui conférer une faible densité (1,2). Le béton développé dans cette étude est fabriqué à partir d’un sol artificiel pour palier au problème de variabilité de ce dernier. L’un des premiers objectifs a été de mettre en place une méthode de formulation, un procédé de fabrication et une base de données des caractéristiques de ce matériau. La méthode de formulation est basée sur la détermination d’un paramètre relié à la limite de liquidité des sédiments marins. Ce paramètre permet de fixer la quantité d’eau pour la fabrication du béton. La première démarche de la mise en place de la méthode de formulation a été de réduire le phénomène d’affaissement de la mousse pendant la fabrication du béton en déterminant une quantité d’eau optimale. Des éprouvettes ont été testées mécaniquement en compression à 28jours. Les résultats ont montré que le rapport eau/limite de liquidité dépend de la quantité de ciment. Cette dernière a été ajustée pour atteindre une résistance en compression satisfaisante au minimum égale à 0,3MPa.

King et Pantl. and its structure was elucidated by extensive spectroscopic methods and comparison with the literature data. All compounds were first reported in this plant and two of them (4 and 5) were the first examples of flavonol triglycosides isolated from Anoectochilus genus. The effects of 1–7 were evaluated on insulin-treated human HepG2 cells under high glucose conditions for stimulating glucose uptake activities. The novel compound (4) displayed highly potent dose-dependent effect on the stimulation of glucose uptake in insulin-resistant human HepG2 cells.

description: L'objectif de ce travail est d'étudier l'influence du dosage de sable recyclé et des gravillons recyclés sur les propriétés à l’état frais et durcis du béton. Le programme expérimental a été effectué sur le béton réalisé avec différents taux de substitutions (15, 30, 70 et 100%) du sable et des gravillons par du sable et gravillons recyclés. Pour les propriétés à l’état frais, les mesures ont été effectués pour l'affaissement, la teneur en air et de la masse volumique, à la sortie du malaxeur, puis après 30, 60 et 90 minutes. Des essais ont également été effectués pour une résistance à la compression à 1, 7 et 28 jours, alors que les mesures du module d'élasticité ont été réalisées à 28 jours. Les résultats ont indiqué que le maintien de l'ouvrabilité du béton de ciment recyclé dépend du taux de substitution des granulats recyclés. Les résultats ont montré qu’il y avait un optimum pour le pourcentage de sable recyclé qui est égal à 30%. Les gravillons n’affectent pas beaucoup le comportement à l’état frais des bétons. Les propriétés mécaniques telles que la résistance à la compression et le module d'élasticité présentent moindre résistance en comparaison avec le béton de référence.

Urbanisation, lower rates of marriage, and immigration all militate against recovery in cohort fertility. Copyright. Monash University and the author/s
What is the role of net overseas migration in population growth and interstate migration patterns in the Northern Territory?
Creators: name: Golebiowska, Kate
name: Carson, Dean
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The key trend preventing the Northern Territory (NT) from achieving consistent annual population growth has been the unpredictability and very high levels of Net Interstate Migration (NIM). Natural Increase (NI) and Net Overseas Migration (NOM) both appear to have provided consistent contributions over the past twenty years. This article examines the contribution of NOM to the NT population growth in the period 1996 to 2006 to establish whether it has in fact mitigated or sustained the high interstate migration rates. Two trends suggest that NOM in the NT has contributed to high levels of population mobility. First, it has been dominated by net long-term movement of temporary migrants rather than settlers. Second, the overseas-born have higher rates of interstate migration from the NT than do the Australian-born. Unfortunately the data on the interstate mobility of overseas-born residents do not permit us to distinguish between people holding long-term and permanent visas. But we believe that some migrants from both groups have participated in this transient population system. Copyright. Monash University and the author/s
Pointing the way? : managing UK immigration in difficult times

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017

description: The United Kingdom has moved to a new points-based system of managing the temporary and long-term immigration of workers, students and their families. It is designed to ensure that only workers with high-level and/or needed skills are selected and that students are genuine and of benefit to the UK. The government view is that the new system will provide it with the tools necessary to reduce labour immigration during the current economic downturn. The system is not yet fully operational but recent data on skilled immigration show that around 60 per cent of migrants are from the European Economic Area, and thus have the right to enter Britain for work, and that many others have been transferred by the multinational companies that employ them. Thus while the new system represents a definite administrative break with the past, its effects on selection and on overall numbers may be limited. Copyright. Monash University and the author/s
Whither Tasmania?: a note on Tasmania's population problem
Creators: name: Jackson, Natalie

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Tasmania has recently experienced four consecutive years of net population decline. In total these years have witnessed the net loss of 4,000 people. However, in the 18 to 38 age group category, the net loss has been substantially greater, 11,400 over the past four years, and nearly 19,000 (12.5 per cent at that age) over the past decade. This paper argues that the emerging age structure, which is beginning to resemble an apple core, poses a massive threat to Tasmania's future. The paper outlines the dynamics of intrinsic (natural) population decline, projected to begin in Tasmania somewhat earlier than in Australia, and the unique problems Tasmania faces in trying to resolve this seemingly inevitable problem with replacement migration. A range of fertility and migration scenarios that would produce moderate positive growth are described, and policy issues are indicated. Copyright. Monash University and the author/s
Managing international population movement: is the nation state obsolete?

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Some experts argue that increased visitor and student numbers consequent on the globalisation of the world economy make the maintenance of restrictive residency rules in nation-states obsolete. This article tests this proposition against the recent Australian experience with visitors from the People’s Republic of China. The past record has been of high overstay and protection visa claims on the part of these people. This has not been the case in recent years. The policy initiatives contributing to this outcome are examined. The conclusion is that high visitor numbers and restrictive residency rules are not necessarily incompatible in a globalised environment. Copyright. Monash University and the author/s

Why high levels of net migration present problems for unemployment and external debt stabilisation
Creators: name: Mitchell, William
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Unemployment is affected by two factors: increases in the productivity of labour and increases in its supply. Both of these factors could, in principle, be offset by strong economic growth. But, if the economy grows fast enough to accommodate both productivity gains and the addition of migrants to the labour force, it will draw in more imports and the balance of trade will deteriorate. Economic growth of around two per cent per annum may be all that we can sustain without increasing our foreign debt. This level of economic growth is not enough to reduce unemployment in the face of any net immigration (or any growth in labour productivity). Copyright. Monash University and the author/s
Declining marriage rates and gender inequity in social institutions: towards an adequately complex explanation for childlessness
Creators: name: Cannold, Lesle
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: A recent newspaper report pitted McDonald’s and Birrell’s explanations for Australia’s below-replacement fertility against each other. This article presents data from qualitative research into the experience and understandings of 35 childless women aged 28 to 42. Childless women were best understood as those who were Childless by Choice and those who were Childless by Circumstance. On the basis of their baseline orientation to motherhood — namely, the place, durability and stability of motherhood in their imagined futures and identities — the latter group was categorised as either ‘Thwarted Mothers’ or ‘Waiters and Watchers’. While the applicability of the findings are limited because of the small, self-selected sample, the data shed some light on the relative contributions of gender inequity and declining partnering rates to childlessness, and thus on the dispute between McDonald and Birrell.

description: Boat people who arrive in Australia and request refugee status are detained while their claims are evaluated. Most objections to this practice concern the length of detention, not the policy itself. Since early1992, requests have usually been evaluated within five weeks. But many unsuccessful applicants then appeal. Appeals from detainees to the Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT) are given priority but, if applicants go to the Federal Court, long delays are inevitable. We need to ensure that primary decisions and the work of the RRT are of high quality, and we need to limit appeals to the Federal Court. Copyright. Monash University and the author/s

description: The 1996 Census of Population and Housing reveals that between 1986 and 1996 Queensland recorded the major share (31.2 per cent) of Australia’s overall population growth, followed by New South Wales (29.3 per cent) and Victoria (17.4 per cent). The authors estimate that, in this period, there was a net interstate movement of some 426,000 persons, with Queensland accumulating 90.5 per cent of all net interstate movers. This paper explores some of the demographic consequences of this movement for Queensland. The coastal centres are attracting a wide age-spectrum of movers. On the other hand, Queensland’s declining regions are losing young people at a faster rate than the general statewide decline in the proportion of young people. However, it appears that older people are remaining in Queensland’s declining, rural areas, or at least are not leaving at the same rate as young people. Copyright. Monash University and the author/s

description: Drawing on data from Australia’s 1996 and 2001 Census of Population and Housing, this paper enumerates and examines the distribution of Victoria’s population according to people’s religious identification. The number of both Christians and non-Christians increased over this five-year period, but Christians’ proportion of the Victorian population declined. Patterns of religious residential concentration have remained largely the same, but the degree of concentration has increased for Jews in Caulfield and Muslims in the northern suburbs.

description: The Australian Labor Government has pursued a high migration policy since it came to office in late 2007. This has been justified by claims that it is needed to provide scarce skills for the resources industries. Modelling of employment demand by industry by Access Economics for Skills Australia shows that this justification is based on myths Copyright. Monash University and the author/s
On estimating: the percentage of people who will never marry
Creators: name: McDonald, Peter
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In 1997 the Australian Bureau of Statistics estimated that if current marriage rates continued, some 40 per cent of Australian men and women would not get married. Though subsequently revised, this estimate has since been widely cited in academic and media discussions of the issue. This paper reviews the methods available to project marriage levels and concludes that the proportion of young Australians who will never marry will not rise above about 23 per cent for women and 27 per cent for men over the next decade or so.

Woomera: hell-holes and mandatory detention of illegal immigrants
Creators: name: Klintworth, Gary
Publisher: name: Monash University

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Australia’s policy of detaining illegal immigrants who apply for asylum has attracted criticism. The author is a former member of the Refugee Review Tribunal. He argues that, while some aspects of the implementation of this policy could be improved, it is essentially sound and conditions within the detention centres are reasonable. He explains the system for assessing and processing asylum-seekers’ claims and compares Australia’s response to illegal entrants claiming asylum with that of other Western countries. He also points out that illegal immigration is now a large and growing international business with strong underworld connections. Copyright. Monash University and the author/s

description: Secretoglobins are a superfamily of secreted proteins thought to participate in inflammation, tissue repair, and tumorigenesis. Secretoglobin family 2A member 1 (Scgb2a1) is a component of prostatein, a major androgen-binding protein secreted by the rat prostate. Using a rat model for developmental reprogramming of susceptibility to prostate carcinogenesis, we identified, by RNA-seq, that Scgb2a1 is significantly upregulated (>100-fold) in the prostate of adult rats neonatally exposed to bisphenol A (BPA), with increased gene expression confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR and chromatin immunoprecipitation for histone H3 lysine 9 acetylation. Bisulfite analysis of both CpG islands located within 10 kb of the Scgb2a1 promoter identified significant hypomethylation of the CpG island upstream of the transcription start site of this gene in the reprogrammed prostate. These data suggest that expression of Scgb2a1 in the adult prostate could be epigenetically reprogrammed by BPA exposure during prostate development, with potential implications for cancer risk and response to chemotherapeutics associated with prostatein binding.

description: This academic poster was created for the DH Benelux 2024 conference. It proposes a preliminary survey of the early years of the auteur comics magazines Linus and Charlie.The Italian monthly magazine Linus, launched in 1965, aimed to publish high-quality comics for a mature, educated audience, marking a novel approach in Italy. Linus featured contributions from intellectuals and artists, with a significant cultural influence, engaging with arts and politics. It introduced and contextualized foreign comics, nurturing a unique local comics tradition. Inspired by Linus, the French magazine Charlie was founded in 1969, maintaining a similar positioning with a touch of irreverence. This pilot research aims to build a database and employ network analysis to position Linus and Charlie within their transnational and transmedial contexts, utilizing digital humanities tools to explore their cultural significance. The study eventually aims to develop a method for analyzing a broader corpus of European comics magazines from the 1960s onwards, integrating media sociology, cultural studies, and historical research.

Spouse migration from the Indian sub-continent to the UK: a permanent migration stream

description: Immigration to the UK of the existing spouses and dependent children of the original labour migrants is diminishing. But it is being overtaken, as elsewhere in Europe, by immigration of new spouses, of both sexes, who are marrying partners from the young and growing ethnic minority populations. Most of these marriages are 'arranged', some are believed to be contrived with immigration as their main purpose. Migration chains established between industrial countries and poorer third world societies with extended family systems are very hard to end. Copyright. Monash University and the author/s
