How To Set Up A Mediterranean Fruit Fly Community Baiting Scheme, Sonya Broughton

Biosecurity published reports

Second edition.

The Mediterranean fruit fly (Medfly) is one of the most serious economic pests, infesting over 300 fruit and vegetable species worldwide. Medfly is thought to originate from Africa and is a pest in many countries including North America, Central America, South Africa, Europe and Australia. In Australia, Medfly is present only in Western Australia where it is considered to be naturalised. Although Medfly are occasionally detected in eastern Australia, these outbreaks are eradicated at considerable expense by local agricultural departments.

For Western Australia, Medfly poses a serious threat to backyard and commercial fruit production, and restricts access to …

From Liminars To Others: Securitization Through Myths, Karsten Friis

Peace and Conflict Studies

The article discusses the rise of societal and ethnic conflicts. It focuses on some of the analytical tools designed to illuminate these processes. More specifically it builds on the framework of the so-called "Copenhagen School of Security Studies" but seeks to develop a more flexible approach on the concept of identity. To understand how an identity gains strength, Roland Barthes’ theory of myths is examined and combined with Michel Foucault's concept of power. Finally a concept of agency is added, namely what has been labeled a “conflict entrepreneur”. It is argued that by combining these theoretical insights the process of …

Intellectual Property Rights And The New Institutional Economics, Robert P. Merges

Vanderbilt Law Review

When someone speaks of "the law and economics of intellectual property rights" (IPRs), an image along the lines of the following diagram is apt to come to mind: Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati Professor of Intellectual Property Law, U.C. Berkeley (Boalt Hall) School of Law. For helpful comments, the author wishes to thank members of the Vanderbilt Law School Conference, "Taking Stock: The Law and Economics of Intellectual Property Rights," April, 2000. The usual disclaimer applies.

This is the basic illustration of monopoly price and output, familiar from introductory microeconomic texts. It is often used to explain the effects of …

Profiting From Adversity - Meeting The Challenge Of Salinity Through New Industry Development, Andrew Quinn, Tamara Law, Peter Rowe

Natural resources published reports

Salinity in the Wheatbelt of Western Australia is one of the most significant challenges facing the State's agricultural sector.

Efforts to manage the increasing effect of salt influenced and threatened farming land requires not only the implementation of new farming systems, but a new way of thinking and attitude to production more in tune with environmental and technological limitations.

While past environment lobby pressures have significantly focused on other production activities such as mining and forestry, the future is likely to see increased community interest in agricultural production systems.

Consumers World wide are becoming more environmentally sensitive, with global media …

The Effect Of Plant Location, And Leaf Position On The Adult Leaf Form Of Monstera Tenuis In Costa Rica, November 2000, Heather J. Allen

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

Leaf morphology of Monstera tenuis (a tropical forest vine) differs greatly between growth stages. The mature leaf growth form has open areas presumably to prevent shading of the lower leaves on the same plant or to prevent overheating. Therefore, leaves highest on a plant, those exposed to most sun should show the most open area. Plants located on the edge of forest are exposed to more evenly distributed light; therefore, they are expected to have more open area per leaf on average. These ideas were tested in the forest and on the forest edge near the Estación Biológica Monteverde. One …

An Access Protocol To Provide Qos In Wireless :Networks, Xin Liu, Edwin K. P. Chong, Ness B. Shroff

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

In wireless networks, contention-and-reservation schemes provitle promising implementations of packet switching, which efficiently multiplexes different classes of traffic. In this report, we present an access scheme to satisfy the QoS requirements for two classes of traffic during the contention-based communicat,ion. In this algorithm, different classes of users contend with other users for resources based on controlled class-dependent permission probabilities. We prove that our algorithm is stable for a large class of arrival processes. Under certain QoS requirements, we derive an upper-bound for the throughput for a general class of random access algorithms. We show that the throughput of our algorithm …

Organizing For National Security, Douglas Stuart Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

Over the last decade the United States has been confronted with not just the collapse of the Soviet empire but also with revolutionary scientific breakthroughs, the transformation of the global economy, and the erosion of many of the basic premises of the Westphalian system of international order. The U.S. policy community has attempted to make sense of these and other changes by recourse to bodies such as the National Defense Panel and the U.S. Commission on National Security/21st Century (USNCS/21). The USNCS/21 is currently in the third phase of its mandated activities. At the end of phase three, the members …

Permeabilization Of Cochliomyia Hominivorax (Diptera: Calliphoridae) Embryos, Dennis Berkebile, Jan Chirico, Roger A. Leopold

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

Embryos of the primary screwworm, Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel), were successfully permeabilized for use in subsequent cryopreservation studies. Mortality was greater for eggs incubated for<5 h before treatment. The mean survival of embryos to first instars was 55.7, 61.1, and 62.6% when the embryos were incubated for 5, 5.5, and 6 h before treatment, respectively. The survival to the pupal and adult stages was low. An improved media for culturing the embryos during and immediately after treatment needs to be devised and the procedure for rearing the larval stages also needs to be altered to improve survival for emerging adults.

Prevalence Of Parainfluenza And Influenza Viruses Amongst Children With Upper Respiratory Tract Infection, Gheyath K. Nasrallah, Mamdoh M. Meqdam, Abdullah Al-Shurman

Saudi Medical Journal

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of Parainfluenza and Influenza causing upper respiratory tract infections and to evaluate shell vial culture assay and direct immunofluorescence assay. METHODS: A retrospective study during the period between November 1997 and May 1998. A total of 350 nasopharyngeal aspirates were obtained from children suffering from respiratory tract infections. Nasopharyngeal aspirates were investigated for the presence of Parainfluenza 1, 2 and 3, Influenza A and B using shell vial culture assay, conventional culture assay and direct immunofluorescence assay. RESULTS: Parainfluenza 1 were identified in 3%, Parainfluenza 2 in 5% and …

Ccd Speckle Observations Of Binary Stars From The Southern Hemisphere. Ii. Measures From The Lowell-Tololo Telescope During 1999, Elliott P. Horch, Otto Franz, Zoran Ninkov

Articles

Speckle observations of 145 double stars and suspected double stars are presented and discussed. On the basis of multiple observations, a total of 280 position angle and separation measures are determined, as well as 23 high-quality nondetections. All observations were taken with the (unintensified) Rochester Institute of Technology fast-readout CCD camera mounted on the Lowell-Tololo 61 cm telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory during 1999 October. We find that the measures, when judged as a whole against ephemeris positions of binaries with very well-known orbits, have root mean square deviations of (1.8+/- 0.3) degrees in position angle and (13+/-2) …

Proactive Legislation And The First Amendment, Stuart Minor Benjamin

Michigan Law Review

It is a commonplace that the world is changing rapidly, with whole sectors of the economy being transformed. New forms of communication, like the World Wide Web, e-mail, and satellite television, have risen from obscurity to ubiquity in less than a decade. The speed of these changes has led some to express concern about the ability of governments to respond. The fear is that governments cannot keep up with developments as they occur and thus get hopelessly behind. The solution, according to some, is for the government to act proactively - before a harm has arisen, so that the government …
