title: Perspective of a consultant and contractor

authors: Speedy, Cam

abstract: Pest management can be a very polarising issue. Every pest management operation is different, reflecting variations in terrain, accessibility, ecology, the types of pests present and the nature and scale of previous pest management. Most importantly, stakeholders often seek different outcomes based on very diverse drivers and beliefs. There is no 'onesize- fits-all' approach to pest management. From experience with a wide variety of pest management operations within diverse communities, a pest management regime specifically developed for the Okataina Scenic Reserves is described. One that will contribute positively to water quality, the sustainability of forest ecology and to community engagement.

title: A quick, reliable solution for modelling cheese chilling process

authors: Hoang, Duy

subjects: Modelling

abstract: Optimisation of the refrigerating system for cheese processing requires an accurate prediction of chilling time, product temperature distributions and heat flow. Many existing CFD models can provide the best predictions by directly solving the three-dimensional heat transfer problem within the product and for air flow around the product; however, they are time-consuming and not suitable for routine use. A one-dimensional numerical solution proposed by Ghraizi, Chumak, Onistchenko, and Terziev (1996) has been used to provide the quick answer to food processing engineers with a good accuracy. In this method, the partial differential equation describing one-dimensional non-linear unsteady heat conduction inside the product has been solved by a finite difference technique. The method can take into account the temperature-dependence of thermal properties of foods and a general shape factor was used to reflect the product geometry. The model was applied to a single block of cheese, and agar. Predicted results are compared to experimentally-measured temperature profiles as well as to results generated by the Food Product Modeller, FPM, software.

title: Antipodean settler societies and their complexities: the Waitangi process in New Zealand and native title and the stolen generations in Australia

authors: Byrnes, Giselle

subjects: native title claim

abstract: This article considers the process of determining native title claims and responding to the revelation of forced Indigenous child removal in Australia, together with the Treaty of Waitangi claims process in New Zealand; each of which can be understood more broadly as a response to the aftermath and ongoing consequences of colonisation. We undertake this analysis comparatively, through an examination of the broad sweep of colonial history in both countries, followed by a more detailed consideration of the processes in question, as they have become manifest over the last decade or so in Australia and almost 30 years in New Zealand. We compare and contrast the institutions, epistemological and political preoccupations and language in each case, revealing various latent ironies and incongruities in the systems on both sides of the Tasman Sea.
