The History Of Cenozoic Magmatism And Collision In Nw New Guinea - New Insights Into The Tectonic Evolution Of The Northernmost Margin Of The Australian Plate, Max Webb, Lloyd T. White, Benjamin M. Jost, Herwin Tiranda, Marcelle Boudagher Fadel
The History Of Cenozoic Magmatism And Collision In Nw New Guinea - New Insights Into The Tectonic Evolution Of The Northernmost Margin Of The Australian Plate, Max Webb, Lloyd T. White, Benjamin M. Jost, Herwin Tiranda, Marcelle Boudagher Fadel
Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health - Papers: Part B
Evidence of Cenozoic magmatism is found along the length of New Guinea. However, the petrogenetic and tectonic setting for this magmatism is poorly understood. This study presents new field, petrographic, U-Pb zircon, and geochemical data from NW New Guinea. These data have been used to identify six units of Cenozoic igneous rocks which record episodes of magmatism during the Oligocene, Miocene, and Pliocene. These episodes occurred in response to the ongoing interaction between the Australian and Philippine Sea plates. During the Eocene, the Australian Plate began to obliquely subduct beneath the Philippine Sea Plate forming the Philippine-Caroline Arc. Magmatism in …
The History Of The Glycosidase Inhibiting Hyacinthacine C-Type Alkaloids: From Discovery To Synthesis, Anthony W. Carroll, Stephen G. Pyne
The History Of The Glycosidase Inhibiting Hyacinthacine C-Type Alkaloids: From Discovery To Synthesis, Anthony W. Carroll, Stephen G. Pyne
Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health - Papers: Part B
Background: The inherent glycosidase inhibitory activity and potentially therapeutic value of the polyhydroxylated pyrrolizidine alkaloids containing a hydroxymethyl substituent at the C-3 position have been well documented. Belonging to this class, the naturally occurring hyacinthacine C-type alkaloids are of general interest among iminosugar researchers. Their selective micromolar α -glycosidase inhibitory ranges (10 - 100 μM) suggest that these azasugars are potential leads for treating type II diabetes. However, the structures of hyacinthacine C1, C3 and C4 are insecure with hyacinthacine C5 being recently corrected. Objective: This review presents the hyacinthacine C-type alkaloids: their first discovery to the most recent advancements …

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B
Monte Carlo methods apply various physical models, either condensed history (CH) or track structure (TS), to simulate the passage of radiation through matter. Both CH and TS models continue to be applied to radiation dosimetry investigations on a micro and nano scale. However, as there has been no systematic comparison of the use of these models for such applications there can be no quantification of the uncertainty that is being introduced by the choice of physics model. A comparison of CH and TS models available in Geant4, along with a quantification of the differences in calculated quantities on a micro …

Shame: A Transnational History Of Women Policing Women, Sharon Crozier-De Rosa
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
From the 1880s to the 1910s, novelist Marie Corelli reigned as ‘Queen of the Bestsellers’, far outselling any fellow authors of her day. As I read through her works to complete my Ph.D. on bestselling fiction and a history of women’s emotions, I could not help but be disturbed by the glaring anti-feminist sentiment infusing her writing. Corelli was certainly no supporter of votes for women, but neither, it was apparent, was she a proponent of advances in women’s education and employment.

History And The Militant Woman, Sharon Crozier-De Rosa
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
In Britain in 1909, militant suffragist Theresa Garnett publicly whipped politician Winston Churchill with a riding switch saying, ‘Take that, in the name of the insulted women of England’. In an inversion of gendered norms, the male Churchill was reported in the feminist paper, Votes for Women, as pale and afraid, and the female Garnett as forceful and courageous. She had undertaken ‘a piece of cool daring’. Churchill and his ‘cowardly’ government would not accept deputations of suffragists. They endorsed state violence against campaigning feminists. This man, Votes for Women declared, was a ‘statesman who has dishonoured British statesmanship by …

The value of history is, indeed, not scientific but moral … it prepares us to live more humanely in the present, and to meet rather than to foretell, the future - Carl Becker. Becker's quote reminds us of the importance of revealing and understanding historical practices in order to influence actions in the future. There are compelling reasons for uncovering this history, in particular to better inform government policy makers and health advocates, and to address the impacts of growing community expectations to 'make the punishment fit the crime'.

E G Whitlam: Reclaiming The Initiative In Australian History, Gregory C. Melleuish
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
How are we to understand the place of the Whitlam government in Australian history? My starting point is an observation that history is not only contingent but our understanding of it is nominalist. That is to say that it does not have a necessary, or natural, structure. We make, and re-make, narratives according to the way in which we arrange and re-arrange what we know about what has happened in the past. Human beings crave a satisfactory narrative to explain the past as a means of understanding the present but, in so doing, they usually have to make use of …
Genders, Sexualities And Bodies In Modern Japanese History, Vera Mackie
Genders, Sexualities And Bodies In Modern Japanese History, Vera Mackie
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
The importance of gender to the writing of the history of modern Japan is now wellestablished. We can trace a shift from ‘women’s history’, which was largely focused on making women visible in the historical narrative, to ‘gender history’. The field of gender history deploys ‘gender’ as a major conceptual tool of analysis; considers both men’s and women’s experiences; and interrogates both masculinity and femininity (Scott 1988: 42; Molony and Uno 2005: 1–35). There is a long tradition of the writing of women’s history in the Japanese language and we now have a significant body of scholarship in the English …

The characteristics of goal-directed actions tend to resemble those of previously executed actions, but it is unclear whether such effects depend strictly on action history, or also reflect context-dependent processes related to predictive motor planning. Here we manipulated the time available to initiate movements after a target was specified, and studied the effects of predictable movement sequences, to systematically dissociate effects of the most recently executed movement from the movement required next. We found that directional biases due to recent movement history strongly depend upon movement preparation time, suggesting an important contribution from predictive planning. However predictive biases co-exist with …

This article explores the unique mentoring model that the Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience (AIME) has established to assist Australian Indigenous young people succeed educationally. AIME can be described as a structured educational mentoring programme, which recruits university students to mentor Indigenous high school students. The success of the programme is unequivocal, with the AIME Indigenous mentees completing high school and the transition to further education and employment at higher rates than their non-AIME Indigenous counterparts. This article reports on a study that sought to deeply explore the particular approach to mentoring that AIME adopts. The study drew upon interviews, observations …
Scholars And Radicals: Writing And Re-Thinking Class Structure In Australian History, Terence H. Irving, R.W. Connell
Scholars And Radicals: Writing And Re-Thinking Class Structure In Australian History, Terence H. Irving, R.W. Connell
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
We wrote Class Structure in Australian History in a period of heightened social struggle. It grew out of collaborative research projects at Sydney's Free U in the late 1960s. The book was distinctive in both emphasising the socialist tradition of class analysis and trying to find new paths for it. Its first edition was ignored by mass media, and often mis-interpreted in professional journals. Nevertheless it circulated widely and has continued to be a point of reference for progressive scholarship. Its method tried to carry forward the Free U project of democratic knowledge making, linking documents with analysis and inviting …
Pinkwashing The Past: Gay Rights, Military History And The Sidelining Of Protest In Australia, Tanja Dreher
Pinkwashing The Past: Gay Rights, Military History And The Sidelining Of Protest In Australia, Tanja Dreher
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
This paper explores the implications of the militarisation of Australian history and the dilemmas of increasing public support for same-sex marriage in Australia at a time of renewed assaults on Indigenous rights, austerity measures and the silencing of dissent. The paper analyses the celebratory rhetoric which increasingly typifies both marriage equality campaigns and the commemoration of Australia's First World War or 'Anzac' history in popular media and public debate. Against the confluence between ongoing debates on same-sex marriage and the 'Anzac myth', I highlight four key challenges: the silencing of dissent; forgetting of the Frontier Wars; untold stories of civil …

Sites To Remember: Performing The Landscape In Cultural History, Janys Hayes
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
This paper aims to compare and contrast two site-specific performance productions, both designed to grapple with processes of cultural remembrance, whilst also operating as successful tourist attractions. The narratives encompassed by both productions revolve around shared Australian histories, for audiences attracted by place and what it is able to represent. Re-enactments of past events call into the present a consideration of what still remains, with both shows enabling new subjective interpretations of earlier times. The defining difference between the two, however, rests in the context of each performance, in the one case as a commodification of heritage and in the …

Radical History: Thinking, Writing And Engagement, Terence H. Irving, Rowan Cahill
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
In recent years, in various places and on our blog ‘Radical Sydney/Radical History’ we have written about radical history. As radical historians we seek out, explore, and celebrate the diversities of alternatives and oppositions, arguing there is a basic tension between radical history and ‘mainstream history’, a history that is constituted to prop up both capitalism and the state. We see our history as part of the struggle against capitalism and the state. In researching the past, we do not do it nostalgically, but with utilitarian, political intent, recognising that the past has the capacity to variously inspire and inform …

The Barber Who Read History And Was Overwhelmed, Rowan Cahill
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Beginning with a chance encounter in a Barber's shop whilst travelling, the author ruminates on history, and the proposition that each and everyone of us is an historian, and that in a sense we are all time travellers. Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956) is invoked, and the role of radical historians from below discussed before the author returns to his Barber shop encounter, and to Brecht. The title of the piece references Brecht's poem A Worker Reads History (1936).

Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
Twenty thousand years ago when the planet was starting to emerge from its most recent ice age and volcanoes were active in Victoria, the Australian continent’s giant animals were disappearing. They included a wombat (Diprotodon) seen on the right, the size of a small car and weighing up to almost three tons, which was preyed upon by a marsupial lion (Thylacoleo carnifex) on following page. This treedweller averaging 100 kilograms, was slim compared to the venomous goanna (Megalania) which at 300 kilograms, and 4.5 metres long, was the largest terrestrial lizard known, terrifying but dwarfed by a carnivorous kangaroo (Propleopus …

Considering The History Of Digital Technologies In Education, Sarah Katherine Howard, Adrian Mozejko
Faculty of Social Sciences - Papers (Archive)
Over the past century, numerous key technologies (including digital technologies) have been introduced into education. For the most part, each of them has been expected to revolutionise teaching and learning. However, it is generally accepted that neither dramatic reorientations nor changes in education have happened. Yet, while use of technology over the last 100 years has not resulted in a revolution, several key improvements and advancements in educational access and equity have resulted. The critical focus of this chapter is to look beyond the hype of technology and media over the last century and, instead, critically consider the significance of …
Book Review: The History Of Democracy: A Marxist Interpretation By Brian S. Roper, John Passant
Book Review: The History Of Democracy: A Marxist Interpretation By Brian S. Roper, John Passant
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Brian Roper's book on the history of democracy from a Marxist perspective is an ambitious one. Roper starts with Athens and Rome and then, as capitalism rises, examines the revolutions in England, America and France and after that the 1848 revolutions across Europe. He then looks at the Paris Commune and The Russian Revolution. In doing this, Roper describes three distinct but related forms of democracy - Athenian democracy which was a form of participatory democracy limited to sections of society; liberal representative democracy which, while nominally open to all, is actually limited to operating within narrow propertied confines; and …

History Of Esl Pronunciation Teaching, John Murphy, Amanda Ann Baker
Faculty of Social Sciences - Papers (Archive)
This chapter tells the story of over 150 years in the teaching of English as a second language (ESL) pronunciation. An analysis of historical resources may reveal a reliable history of pronunciation teaching. A consistent theme within the historical record is that prior to the second half of the nineteenth century pronunciation received little attention in L2 classrooms. Beginning in the 1850s and continuing for the next 30 years, early innovators such as Berlitz, Gouin, Marcel, and Predergast were rejecting and transitioning away from classical approaches. A change that resulted in pronunciation teaching's considerably more consequential second wave was the …

Faculty of Business - Papers (Archive)
Public welfare payments have played a central role in providing financial-and service-based support for the disabled in Australia since the early part of the twentieth century. This study examines the role that discursive regimes of accounting and accountability have played in these regimes between 1909 and 1961. By examining the Means Test, a key technique and strategy used to qualify or disqualify citizens as disabled, the paper demonstrates the salient role that accounting techniques have played in these governmental programs. Through this demonstration the study reveals the array of implications for the disabled of accounting techniques applied to their identities …

The article investigates the financial statements of the aircraft industry in the USA. Boeing Corporation has a long history of managerial accounting system which makes it unique in the industry. The paper seeks to show the main challenges the company have been facing. We also investigate the regulation aspects of the firm. More research showed that an error with the 787 aircraft battery that is manufactured in Japan jeopardized the finances of Boeing. After financial struggles Boeing was able to turn their revenues around which is seen in their current financial statements from the past years. As a result of …

Depositional History And Archaeology Of The Central Lake Mungo Lunette, Willandra Lakes, Southeast Australia, Kathryn E. Fitzsimmons, Nicola Stern, Colin V. Murray-Wallace
Depositional History And Archaeology Of The Central Lake Mungo Lunette, Willandra Lakes, Southeast Australia, Kathryn E. Fitzsimmons, Nicola Stern, Colin V. Murray-Wallace
Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health - Papers: part A
Lake Mungo, presently a dry lake in the semi-arid zone of southeastern Australia, preserves a unique record of human settlement and past environmental change within the transverse lunette that built up on its downwind margin. The lunette is >30 km long and the variable morphology along its length suggests spatial variability in deposition over time. Consequently this presents differential potential for the preservation of past activity traces of different ages along the lunette. Earlier work at Lake Mungo focused primarily on the southern section of the lunette, where two ritual burials of considerable antiquity were found. Here we describe the …

Patterns Of Genotypic Diversity Suggest A Long History Of Clonality And Population Isolation In The Australian Arid Zone Shrub Acacia Carneorum, Eleanor K. O'Brien, Andrew J. Denham, David J. Ayre
Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health - Papers: part A
For plants capable of both sexual and clonal reproduction, the relative frequency of these reproductive modes is influenced by genetic and ecological factors. Acacia carneorum is a threatened shrub from the Australian arid zone that occurs as a set of small, spatially isolated populations. Sexual reproduction appears to be very rare: despite regular flowering, only two populations set seed. It is not known whether this reflects an ancient pattern, or results from rapid land use changes following arrival of Europeans in the region 150 years ago. We assessed genotypic variation throughout the range of A. carneorum using AFLP markers, to …

125,660 Specimens Of Natural History: Navigating Colonial Collections In The Anthropocene, Anna-Sophie Springer, Etienne Turpin
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
In the age of the Anthropocene, the assumed division between nature and culture is radically destabilized. By taking a nineteenth century colonial collection of natural history as our point of departure, the international touring exhibition 125,660 Specimens of Natural History: Re-imagining the Practice of Collection Through Alfred R. Wallace's Malay Expedition (premier at Komunitas Salihara, Jakarta, Indonesia in 2015) develops transcultural artistic and curatorial methodologies as means to rethink traditional views on scientific knowledge production, human-nature interactions, and the future of natural history collections.
