Abstract:
Background: Myrmecia pilosula (the jack jumper ant, JJA) is the principal cause of ant venom anaphylaxis in Australia. Whereas honeybee and wasp venom allergy can be treated by venom immunotherapy (VIT), no such treatment is available for ant sting allergy. In addition, information on the natural history of JJA sting allergy is required to identify those most likely to benefit from immunotherapy. The main objectives of this research were to establish: (i) the prevalence, natural history and determinants of reaction severity for JJA allergy, and; (ii) the efficacy and tolerability of JJA VIT. Methods: A search of the Royal Hobart Hospital (RHH) forensic register, a random telephone survey, and a review of emergency department (ED) presentations were performed. Three hundred eighty-eight JJA allergic volunteers were assessed, including serum venom-specific IgE RAST, and then followed up for accidental stings over a 4-year period. Finally, a randomised double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial of JJA VIT was performed. Laboratory parameters measured during the trial were; leukocyte stimulation index (SI), IL-4 production, IgE RAST, histamine release test (HRT), leukotriene release test (LRT) and basophil activation test (BAT). Intradermal venom skin testing (VST) was also performed at trial entry. Findings: The prevalence of JJA sting allergy was 2.7% in the Tasmanian population, compared to 1.4% for honeybee. People aged 35 or older had a greater risk of both sting allergy and hypotensive reactions. Four deaths were identified, all in adults with significant comorbidities. During follow-up, 79 (70%) of 113 accidental jack jumper stings caused systemic reactions. Only prior worst reaction severity predicted the severity of follow-up reactions, with the majority of people experiencing similar or less severe reactions when stung again. Sixty-eight otherwise healthy JJA allergic adult volunteers were enrolled in the clinical trial. Systemic reactions to therapy were recorded in 34% during VIT. Objectively defined systemic reactions to sting challenges arose in 1/35 after VIT (mild self-limiting urticaria only) versus 21/29 in the placebo group. Treatment with oxygen, intravenous adrenaline infusion and volume resuscitation was effective and well tolerated. Hypotension was always accompanied by a relative bradycardia, which was severe and treated with atropine in two patients. In the placebo group, only VST and HRT were predictive of sting challenge results. Although IgE RAST, leukocyte SI and IL-4 production, LRT and BAT all correlated well with VST, they did not predict sting challenge outcome. After successful VIT, venom-induced leukocyte IL-4 production tended to fall, whereas IgE RAST increased and a natural decline in HRT reactivity was reversed. Interpretation: VIT is highly effective in prevention of JJA sting anaphylaxis and is likely to be of most benefit to people with a history of severe systemic reactions, which usually occur in people aged over 35. Neurocardiogenic mechanisms &/or direct cardiac effects may be important factors in some anaphylaxis deaths. Systemic reactions to immunotherapy are common and require immediate access to resuscitation facilities. The HRT warrants further investigation as a test for selecting those most likely to benefit from VIT. None of the tests evaluated appear to be reliable markers of successful VIT.

Abstract:
The circumpolar boreal forest is an extensive carbon (C) reservoir, storing an estimated 88 petagrams (Pg) of C in vegetation biomass with an additional 471 PgC residing within the soil itself. In the North American boreal, fire disturbance acts as the main stand-renewing agent along an approximate 100-year return interval. However, recent studies suggest that fire intensity and severity are increasing, driven by disproportionate climate warming of the northern latitudes. In this study, we examine carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapour and energy exchange in a 7-year old, post-burn, jack pine stand located in the eastern James Bay region of the North American boreal; an area currently under-represented in fire studies. Over 1.5 years, covering two growing seasons and the spring and fall transitions, we measured net CO2 and energy exchange at the ecosystem level using an eddy covariance tower, and supplemented this with chamber measurements of soil respiration. The objectives of this study were to determine the environmental controls on the variability of the mass and energy fluxes. Net ecosystem exchange of CO2 (NEE) over the stand was typically small (-2.3 to 1 gC m-2 d-1), with respect to other young boreal stands, at times flipping between net uptake and release on a day-to-day basis. Annual cumulative NEE was determined to between +7 and -6 gC m-2 y-1, classifying it as approximately carbon-neutral. Cumulative ecosystem respiration and gross ecosystem productivity were smaller on an annual basis compared to other recently disturbed stands. The low productivity was associated with a lower vegetation abundance and LAI at the site due to very dry soil conditions. The increase in latent heat exchange (and decrease in sensible heat exchange) between growing seasons was determined to be primarily moisture-driven, with evaporation the dominant pathway. Little change in summertime albedo between years suggested that deciduous plant growth was not significant at the site.
La forêt boréale circumpolaire est un important réservoir de carbone (C) contenant 88 pétagrammes (Pg) de C dans la biomasse végétale et 471 PgC dans le sol lui-même. Dans les secteurs boréaux d'Amérique du Nord, les feux sont les principaux agents de renouvellement des forêts, avec un cycle d'environ 100 ans. De récentes études suggèrent que la sévérité et l'intensité des feux sont en hausse, due aux effets amplifiés des changements climatiques dans les latitudes élevées. La présente étude vise à documenter les échanges de dioxyde de carbone (CO2), de vapeur d'eau et d'énergie dans une forêt dominée par le pin gris (Pinus banksiana), brûlée il y a 7 ans. Le site d'étude est situé à l'est de la Baie James, dans la partie est de la forêt boréale nord-américaine. Cette région est sous représentée en terme d'études sur les impacts des feux de forêts. Durant une période de un an et demi, incluant deux saisons de croissance et les périodes de transitions d'automne et du printemps, nous avons mesuré les émissions nettes de CO2 et d'énergie à l'échelle de l'écosystème, en utilisant une tour de mesure de covariances des turbulences. Des mesures secondaires ont été prises en utilisant des chambres statiques afin de mesurer la respiration du sol. Les objectifs de cette recherche étaient de déterminer les contrôles environnementaux sur la variabilité des échanges de CO2 et d'énergie. Les valeurs d'échanges écosystémiques nets de CO¬2 (ÉÉN) étaient faibles (-2.3 à 1 gC m-2 d-1) comparativement aux valeurs observées dans d'autres jeunes forêts boréales, passant d'une source à un puit de CO2 sur une base journalière. L'ÉÉN cumulatif annuel était +7 et -6 gC m-2 y-1, indiquant que le site était presque neutre en terme d'échange de carbone. La respiration à l'échelle de l'écosystème et la productivité brute annuelles étaient plus basses que d'autres sites comparables qui ont été aussi récemment perturbés. Cette productivité basse a été associée avec une faible présence de végétation résultant des conditions de sol sèches. Le contenu en eau du sol a été identifié comme un facteur important de l'augmentation des échanges de chaleur latente (et la réduction des échanges de chaleur sensible) entre les saisons de croissance, l'évaporation constituant la voie principale d'échange. Le faible changement de l'albédo du site entre les deux étés indique que la croissance des feuillus est relativement faible sur le site à l'étude.

Abstract:
Knowledge of optimum concentrations and ratios of major nutrients in tree foliage is required to assess the nutrient status of the boreal forest. This thesis aimed at determining foliar nutritional standards for white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss), black spruce (Picea mariana Mill. B.S.P.) and jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) and to assess the nutrient status of forest stands across Canada for all major nutrients (N, P, K, Ca, Mg and Mn) using critical values (CVA) and compositional nutrient diagnosis (CND). Trees were sampled at three locations in Ontario and Quebec to cover a gradient of soil fertility levels. A boundary line approach was used in combination with quadratic regression models to assess the relationship between growth and foliar nutrient concentrations or CND scores when free of the effects of interacting environmental factors.

Abstract:
A solitary foraging ant needs to rely exclusively on her navigational skill set to successfully navigate to and from goals such as the nest and food sites. Of interest is how ants are able to acquire this navigational information at a young age, before they become experienced workers and how this eventually shapes them into becoming efficient foragers. Ants of Myrmecia croslandi are highly visual, solitary foragers that exhibit no evidence of chemical trail following or recruitment. Therefore, a forager leaving the nest for the first time, must do so completely on her own, first by deciding where to go and second by utilising the information she has acquired from the environment to journey between sites. By identifying and individually following ants, I demonstrate that ants exhibit highly individual behaviour in most tasks, from early learning, and daily foraging to navigating from unfamiliar locations. First, I document the spatial and temporal variation in individual foraging behaviour at two nests of M. croslandi over a two-year period. Ants can take variable routes to the same food site and travel the longest distance when they forage on trees. Individual ants depart the nest at different times and a few ants perform multiple trips per day. Surprisingly, not a single ant foraged on consecutive days. By examining the behaviour of inexperienced ants at the nest, I provide a detailed analysis of the learning walks of M. croslandi. Most learning walks take place in the morning with a narrow time window separating the first two learning walks. There are no common bearing or gaze directions between ants, however, (a) in subsequent walks ants always explore directions that they have not previously visited and (b) ants engage in a systematic, saccadic scanning behaviour. I also discuss the significant differences between learning walks of M. croslandi and those previously studied in two other ant species, especially in relation the ‘turn back and look’ behaviour. In displacement experiments, I provide supporting evidence of a quick scanning behaviour that occurs as soon as ants are released. I examine the effect of a conflict in navigational information on successful homing by comparing full and zero vector ants. Zero vector ants are significantly better at navigating home, especially when released at unfamiliar sites. With the aid of the extensive individual foraging histories available to me, I show how in most cases, scene familiarity plays a role in driving ants home from unfamiliar displacement locations and discuss in detail behaviours that are exceptions to this. Finally, I provide the first evidence of the use of artificial landmarks near the nest in this species, which increases the accuracy with which ants pinpoint the nest entrance, even though they do not appear to make use of such landmarks in the wild and discuss my findings in relation to other ants. I also document the occurrence of re-orientation walks in response to an altered visual environment which show that ants are more directed as a result of re-learning.

Abstract:
Abstract The transformation of the broadcasting industry from the late 1940s to the early 1960s profoundly redefined the relationship between radio and literary cultures in the United States. This interstitial period in American radio, which saw the decline of the “golden age” of network radio and the rise of format radio, and which corresponded with the civil rights era that challenged the racism and segregationism of the culture industries, generated not only new forms of radio but also new ways of listening. Tracing the influence of the legendary jazz radio deejay “Symphony Sid” Torin on Jack Kerouac, Amiri Baraka, and other writers, this chapter examines how specific practices of radio listening—such as ambient listening—that mediated the Beat reception of jazz as a source of innovation and resistance to conformism are subverted in Baraka’s early work in ways that open radical possibilities of Black reception in and against Western discourses of aurality.

Abstract:
By 1943, Cary Grant was eager to escape from the contract he had signed six years earlier with Columbia Pictures. It was a non-exclusive contract, but studio boss Harry Cohn exercised an options clause that prolonged Grant’s obligations to the studio. Cohn was incensed when Grant delayed returning to Columbia in favour of working at Warner Brothers, where he was cast in the patriotic war drama Destination Tokyo (1943). Grant’s performance as an upstanding yet gentle submarine captain was one of the most earnest and restrained of his career. He returned to Columbia to make Once Upon a Time (1943), one of the slightest films of his career. When Jack Warner offered to buy out the remainder of his Columbia contract, Grant jumped at the offer. Meanwhile, he was making None but the Lonely Heart (1944), a gritty melodrama about working class life in the backstreets of London, written and directed by the left-wing dramatist Clifford Odets. Grant’s personal connection to the films tough working class environment was signalled by placing a picture of his own father on the wall of the tiny house his character shares with his dying mother. The film was not a hit but it earned Grant his second Academy Award nomination. Ironically, at the time he was reliving his humble origins on screen, he was married to the extraordinarily wealthy Barbara Hutton. Her insistence on living lavishly and entertaining frequently made him realise what a poor match they were. She, in turn, complained that he cared about nothing other than his career. They divorced in 1945.
