Tansy, Tanacetum macrophyllum (Waldst. & Kit.) Sch. Bip., is often misidentified by herb collectors as yarrow, Achillea grand folia Friv. With the former, cases of poisoning induced by its ingestion are well documented, but the latter is widely used for ethnopharmacological purposes. The aim of this study was to estimate, based on the volatile metabolite profiles of the two species, the potential health risk connected with their misidentification. GC and GC-MS analysis of the essential oils hydrodistilled using a Clevenger-type apparatus from A. grandifolia, T macrophyllum, and two plant samples (reputedly of A. grandifolia, but in fact mixtures of A. …

A survey of the safety culture and hazard risk perception has been carried out involving 77 maritime pilots around Australia and New Zealand, representing more than 20% of the maritime pilots in each country, in proportional geographic districbution.

A prominent characteristic of streams draining catchments in West Dapto, New South Wales, are well developed macrochannels that have formed within alluvial terraces in mid-catchment zones. A detailed hydraulic modelling study using HEC-RAS, HEC-GeoRAS and Arcview GIS indicates that these macrochannels are scaled to accommodate high magnitude floods. They offer a significant degree of natural protection from flood events up to and in excess of 100 years recurrence interval, essentially by operating as 'bankfull' channels during such events. Macrochannel landforms can be clearly distinguished and mapped on fine-scale digital elevation models (DEMs) and other GIS data sources such as rectified …
