Mammalian extinction worldwide during the Late Pleistocene has been a major focus for Quaternary biochronology and paleoecology. These extinctions have been variably attributed to the impacts of climate change and human interference. However, until relatively recently, research has been largely restricted to the Americas, Europe, and Australasia. We present the oldest Middle-Late Pleistocene stratified and numerically dated faunal succession for the Indian subcontinent from the Billasurgam cave complex. Our data demonstrate continuity of 20 of 21 identified mammalian taxa from at least 100,000 y ago to the present, and in some cases up to 200,000 y ago. Comparison of this …
Polymorphic Variants Of The P2x7 Receptor In The Domestic Dog, Ronald Sluyter, Leanne Stokes
Polymorphic Variants Of The P2x7 Receptor In The Domestic Dog, Ronald Sluyter, Leanne Stokes
Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health - Papers: part A
Due to distinctive features including genome architecture, population diversity, breed structure and breed-specific disorders, the domestic dog (Canis familiaris) is becoming an important animal to study the genetics of morphology, behaviour and disease susceptibility in mammals [1]. Further, with around 360 of the some 450 diseases in dogs similar to that of human diseases, dogs provide a valuable model to identify the genetic causes of many diseases in humans [1]. Thus, one of the goals in canine biology is to better define the genetic and phenotypic diversity that exists between the 400 dog breeds [2]. Therefore, our groups have begun …
Safe Use Of Sodium Valproate, Ahamed Zawab, John Carmody
Safe Use Of Sodium Valproate, Ahamed Zawab, John Carmody
Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health - Papers: part A
Valproate is an anticonvulsant drug which is approved for use in epilepsy and bipolar disorder. It has also been used for neuropathic pain and migraine prophylaxis. Gastrointestinal adverse effects are common, particularly at the start of therapy. Important adverse effects include pancreatitis, hepatitis, weight gain and sedation. There is an increased risk of fetal abnormalities if valproate is taken in pregnancy. Measuring concentrations of serum valproate is often unnecessary. They do not correlate closely with its therapeutic effects. If withdrawal of valproate is required, this should be done slowly if possible. Rapid cessation may provoke seizures in patients with epilepsy.

Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health - Papers: part A
Aim To report findings from a qualitative study of the experiences of long-term survivors of multiple myeloma. Background Multiple Myeloma is a malignant disease of the bone marrow. Until recently, it was rapidly fatal. Although it remains incurable, people diagnosed with it are living longer on average, largely due to new treatments, some of which have onerous side effects. Design Prospective descriptive study. Method A series of 47 in-depth interviews were conducted at 6-12 month intervals over 18 months in 2008-2010 with 10 long-term survivors of myeloma and their primary support person. Interviews were analysed using the constant comparative method …

The Benefits Of Breakfast Cereal Consumption: A Systematic Review Of The Evidence Base, Peter G. Williams
Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health - Papers: part A
There have been no comprehensive reviews of the relation of breakfast cereal consumption to nutrition and health. This systematic review of all articles on breakfast cereals to October 2013 in the Scopus and Medline databases identified 232 articles with outcomes related to nutrient intake, weight, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, digestive health, dental and mental health, and cognition. Sufficient evidence was available to develop 21 summary evidence statements, ranked from A (can be trusted to guide practice) to D (weak and must be applied with caution). Breakfast cereal consumption is associated with diets higher in vitamins and minerals and lower in …

Cholesterol-Lowering Effects Of Oat Β-Glucan: A Meta-Analysis Of Randomized Controlled Trials, Anne Whitehead, Eleanor Beck, Susan Tosh, Thomas Ms Wolever
Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health - Papers: part A
Background: Health claims regarding the cholesterol-lowering effect of soluble fiber from oat products, approved by food standards agencies worldwide, are based on a diet containing ≥3 g/d of oat β-glucan (OBG). Given the number of recently published randomized controlled trials (RCTs), it is important to update the findings of previous meta-analyses. Objective: The objective was to quantify the effect of ≥3 g OBG/d on serum cholesterol concentrations in humans and investigate potential effect modifiers. Design: A meta-analysis was performed on 28 RCTs comparing ≥3 g OBG/d with an appropriate control. Systematic searches were undertaken in PubMed, AGRICOLA, and Scopus between …

We investigate factors that drive the variability in total column CO2 at the Total Carbon Column Observing Network sites in the Southern Hemisphere using fluxes tagged by process and by source region from the CarbonTracker analysed product as well as the Simple Biosphere model. We show that the terrestrial biosphere is the largest driver of variability in the Southern Hemisphere column CO2. However, it does not dominate in the same fashion as in the Northern Hemisphere. Local- and hemispheric-scale biomass burning can also play an important role, particularly at the tropical site, Darwin. The magnitude of seasonal variability in the …

Evolutionary Dynamics Of The Mitochondrial Genome In The Evaniomorpha (Hymenoptera) - A Group With An Intermediate Rate Of Gene Rearrangement, Meng Mao, Tracey Gibson, Mark Dowton
Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health - Papers: part A
We determined the complete mitochondrial (mt) genomes of three evaniomorph species, Ceraphron sp. (Ceraphronoidea), Gasteruption sp. (Evanioidea), and Orthogonalys pulchella (Trigonalyoidea) as well as the nearly complete mt genome from another evaniomorph species, Megalyra sp. (Megalyroidea). Each of them possesses dramatic gene rearrangements, including protein-coding or rRNA genes. Gene inversions were identified in all of these mt genomes; for example, the two rRNA genes have inverted and moved into the nad2-cox1 junction in the Megalyra sp. mt genome. In addition, we found two copies of a 10-bp complementary repeat at the beginning of rrnS and at the end of trnL2 …

A Preliminary Framework For Dna Barcoding, Incorporating The Multispecies Coalescent, Mark Dowton, Kelly A. Meiklejohn, Stephen Cameron, James F. Wallman
Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health - Papers: part A
The capacity to identify an unknown organism using the DNA sequence from a single gene has many applications. These include the development of biodiversity inventories (Janzen et al. 2005), forensics (Meiklejohn et al. 2011), biosecurity (Armstrong and Ball 2005), and the identification of cryptic species (Smith et al. 2006). The popularity and widespread use (Teletchea 2010) of the DNA barcoding approach (Hebert et al. 2003), despite broad misgivings (e.g., Smith 2005; Will et al. 2005; Rubinoff et al. 2006), attest to this. However, one major shortcoming to the standard barcoding approach is that it assumes that gene trees and species …

Driving is a complex task, yet some people with dementia are capable of driving safely. As driving a vehicle is a privilege and not a right, clinicians are often called upon to provide guidance regarding their patients' ability to drive safely. The Australian Bureau of Statistics has predicted that by 2056, one in four Australians will be aged over 65. Older members of our community are increasingly dependent upon the private car as their preferred, and in some cases only viable, mode of transport. Given that the prevalence of dementia rises with age, we can expect an increased number of …

Dementia, Driving Retirement And Decision Aids, John Carmody, Victoria Traynor
Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health - Papers: part A
The recent editorial by Yates and Ibrahim1 was a mature and balanced account of an increasingly important medical and social issue: what is the role of physicians vis a vis driving and dementia? In contradiction to Oliver's juxtaposed entreaty to avoid the internet,2 Ibrahim's impressive online educational video3 addresses the sensitive topic of driving cessation with aplomb. Similarly thoughtful approaches to this vexed topic may be found elsewhere.4-6 There are three points, we wish to add.

The red-bed deposits in northern Iraq are situated in an active foreland basin adjacent to the Zagros Orogenic Belt, bound to the north by the Iranian plate thrust over the edge of the Arabian plate. The red-bed successions are composed of alternating red and brown silty mudstones, purplish red calcareous siltstone, fine- to coarse-grained pebbly sandstone and conglomerate. The red beds in the current study can be divided into four parts showing a trend of upward coarsening with fine-grained deposits at the top. A detailed petrographic study was carried out on the sandstone units. The clastic rocks consist mainly of …

The Archaean gneisses of the Nuuk area (southern West Greenland) are partitioned into tectonostratigraphic terranes - blocks of arc-like crust that evolved independently until they coalesced by collisional orogeny. To 'map' terranes to the east under the Inland Ice, sand samples were taken from rivers issuing from the edge of the Icecap; three from the Isua area and one from ∼20 km to the south. Bedrock along this part of the ice front consists of ∼3820-3600 Ma amphibolite facies rocks. 40 km south of Isua (Kapisilik terrane in the Ivisaartoq area) and also from ∼10 km to the north there …

Critical Ally And Critical Friend: Stepping Stones To Facilitating Practice Development, Michele Hardiman, Jan Dewing
Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health - Papers: part A
Background: The Critical Ally and Critical Friend are two models in the early stages of developmental testing as part of a doctoral research programme. Together with the Critical Companionship model, they offer a theoretically coherent framework for developing expertise in the facilitation of learning about practice from within the workplace. The two new models are sequentially related models underpinned by key principles of practice development and critical social theory. Unlike Critical Companionship, the Critical Ally and Critical Friend models are aimed at novice and proficient practice developers respectively; we argue that, because of their design, they can offer stepping stones …

Hyperuas - Imaging Spectroscopy From A Multirotor Unmanned Aircraft System, Arko Lucieer, Zbynek Malenovsky, Tony Veness, Luke Wallace
Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health - Papers: part A
One of the key advantages of a low-flying unmanned aircraft system (UAS) is its ability to acquire digital images at an ultrahigh spatial resolution of a few centimeters. Remote sensing of quantitative biochemical and biophysical characteristics of small-sized spatially fragmented vegetation canopies requires, however, not only high spatial, but also high spectral (i.e., hyperspectral) resolution. In this paper, we describe the design, development, airborne operations, calibration, processing, and interpretation of image data collected with a new hyperspectral unmanned aircraft system (HyperUAS). HyperUAS is a remotely controlled multirotor prototype carrying onboard a lightweight pushbroom spectroradiometer coupled with a dual frequency GPS …

Savanna fires contribute approximately 40-50% of total global annual biomass burning carbon emissions. Recent comparisons of emission factors from different savanna regions have highlighted the need for a regional approach to emission factor development, and better assessment of the drivers of the temporal and spatial variation in emission factors. This paper describes the results of open-path Fourier transform infrared (OP-FTIR) spectroscopic field measurements at 21 fires occurring in the tropical savannas of the Northern~Territory, Australia, within different vegetation assemblages and at different stages of the dry season. Spectra of infrared light passing through a long (22-70 m) open-path through ground-level …

Internationalization of the curriculum is important in today's globalized environment, with the increasingly interdisciplinary nature of complex issues, such as climate change, requiring students to think beyond their disciplinary and cultural boundaries. Here we introduce a novel cross-discipline and cross-country activity with the overall goal to expose students to an international environmental problem (climate change) that requires an awareness of different perspectives, so as to contribute to their development of responsible global citizenship through internationalization of the curriculum. Students studying in Australia and the United States of America completed an anonymous survey on their climate change perceptions, and then the …
