Full textAbstract:
Current meter observations from a field of en echelon sandbanks in Moreton Bay, Australia, provide insights into sandbank hydrodynamics and development. Re-circulation of sand is occurring around straight-crested, near-shore banks, but not around offshore, 'S'-shaped banks. Rather, net transport over this latter area is unidirectional (flood dominated). This is explained in the context of the evolution of the banks, in which the mature, near-shore banks have grown vertically upwards to the sea surface and thus contribute to the local generation of higher tidal harmonics and a residual current circulation pattern, whereas the crestlines of younger, 'S'-shaped banks are still mostly >5 m below the surface and do not affect the flow field significantly. For the mature, inshore banks, reversal of net sand-transport vectors over a distance of less than 1 km (from one side of an interbank channel to the other) is related to the amplification and phase modulation of the M4 tidal constituent. These observations are of relevance to dredging operations since, in order to minimize the impact on the sand-transport system, removal of sand should be from the end of the transport path. Transport paths, in turn, are identified based on directions of net sand-transport and grain size data. Observations from Moreton Bay and other locations around the world suggest that it is possible to dredge offshore sandbanks without affecting beach erosion, provided that there are no direct linkages between the offshore sandbank system and coastal deposits.

Aim:Psychology can be implicated in the mitigation and exacerbation of injustice. Arguably, this results from conventional ways of knowing/being supported by long held distinctions between individual/community and psychology/sociality. The aim of this analysis is to offer a way to think about knowing, being, justice and relationships that transcend polemics to realise just practices in education. This orientation invites the pursuit of psychosocial justice.Rationale:Psychology plays a contradictory and complicated role in the pursuit of social justice. Practitioners in educational settings may claim they are challenging equity and fairness through their application of psychological frameworks and methods yet do so employing reductionist and ableist models implicated in reproducing inequality. Examples are reflected in commitments to measure and cultivate characteristics such as grit, growth mindset, lifelong learning and emotion regulation.Implications:Distinctions between research and applied psychologists are rendered redundant as historically separated actions and matters remerge. Resonant within and across all aspects of our work then is an ethic of relationality. There we recognise the consequence of theory in practice, the entangled nature of people and institutions and the continuing emergence of psychosocial life.Conclusions:Thinking about relationality in this way fundamentally challenges and changes how psychology impacts the use of certain concepts and methods, as well as the formation of assumptions and conclusions about education. If committed to just practice educational psychologists cannot be given to finding finalised outcomes because there is and always will be morethan to consider.

Full textAbstract:
Methane is present in all coals, but a number of geological factors influence the potential economic concentration of gas. The key factors are (1) depositional environment, (2) tectonic and structural setting, (3) rank and gas generation, (4) gas content, (5) permeability, and (6) hydrogeology. Commercial coal seam gas production in Queensland has been entirely from the Permian coals of the Bowen Basin, but the Jurassic coals of the Surat and Clarence-Moreton basins are poised to deliver commercial gas volumes.Depositional environments range from fluvial to delta plain to paralic and marginal marine—coals in the Bowen Basin are laterally more continuous than those in the Surat and Clarence-Moreton basins. The tectonic and structural settings are important as they control the coal characteristics both in terms of deposition and burial history. The important coal seam gas seams were deposited in a foreland setting in the Bowen Basin and an intracratonic setting in the Surat and Clarence-Moreton basins. Both of these settings resulted in widespread coal deposition. The complex burial history of the Bowen Basin has resulted in a wide range of coal ranks and properties. Rank in the Bowen Basin coal seam gas fields varies from vitrinite reflectance of 0.55% to >1.1% Rv and from Rv 0.35-0.6% in the Surat and Clarence-Moreton basins in Queensland. High vitrinite coals provide optimal gas generation and cleat formation. The commercial gas fields and the prospective ones contain coals with >60% vitrinite.Gas generation in the Queensland basins is complex with isotopic studies indicating that biogenic gas, thermogenic gas and mixed gases are present. Biogenic processes occur at depths of up to a kilometre. Gas content is important, but lower gas contents can be economic if deliverability is good. Free gas is also present. Drilling and production techniques play an important role in making lower gas content coals viable. Since the Bowen and Surat basins are in a compressive regime, permeability becomes a defining parameter. Areas where the compression is offset by tensional forces provide the best chances for commercial coal seam gas production. Tensional setting such as anticline or structural hinges are important plays. Hydrodynamics control the production rate though water quality varies between the fields.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractCommissioners of Crown Lands were the first government officials appointed to the newly declared pastoral districts surrounding Moreton Bay after it was opened to free settlement in 1842. These officers had a significant impact on the formation of regional communities, the administration of justice and the treatment of the Indigenous people but their primary responsibility was the implementation and enforcement of government policies relating to Crown Lands. Commissioners were required to oversee pastoral leases, ensure payment of fees for pastoral and other licences and undertake expeditions to provide the New South Wales government with information regarding the nature of the land and its resources. Extracts from the original correspondence between the Commissioners and the Colonial Secretary indicate that, despite enormous challenges, early Crown Lands Commissioners were largely successful in ensuring the orderly settlement of pastoral districts. Their success however, came at the expense of the Indigenous people, who were systematically driven from their lands without compensation and with scant consideration for their welfare.

Full textAbstract:
The Clarence-Moreton Basin covers an area of some 28 000 km2 in north-eastern New South Wales and south-eastern Queensland. The basin is relatively unexplored, with a well density in New South Wales of one per 1600 km2. Since 1980, Endeavour Resources and its co-venturers have pursued an active exploration programme which has resulted in the recognition of significant petroleum potential in the New South Wales portion of the basin.Previous studies indicated that the Upper Triassic to Lower Cretaceous Clarence-Moreton Basin sequence in general, lacked suitable reservoirs and had poor source- rock potential. While exinite rich, oil-prone source rocks were recognised in the Middle Jurassic Walloon Coal Measures, they were considered immature for oil generation. Moreover, during the 1960's the basin acquired a reputation as an area where seismic records were of poor quality.These ideas are now challenged following the results of a new round of exploration which commenced in the New South Wales portion of the basin in 1980. This exploration has involved the acquisition of over 1000 km of multifold seismic data, the reprocessing of some 200 km of existing single fold data, and the drilling of one wildcat well. Over twenty large structural leads have been identified, involving trapping mechanisms ranging from simple drape to antithetic and synthetic fault blocks associated with normal and reverse fault dependent and independent closures.The primary exploration targets in the Clarence- Moreton Basin sequence are Lower Jurassic sediments comprising a thick, porous and permeable sandstone unit in the Bundamba Group, and channel and point-bar sands in the Marburg Formation. Source rocks in these and the underlying Triassic coal measures are gas-prone and lie at maturity levels compatible with gas generation. In contrast, it was established from the results of Shannon 1 that the Walloon Coal Measures are mature for oil generation and this maturity regime is now considered to be applicable to most of the basin in New South Wales.A consideration of reservoir and source rock distribution, together with structural trends across the basin in Petroleum Exploration Licences 258 and 259, has led to the identification of three prospective fairways, two of which involve shallow oil plays. Exploration of these fairways is currently the focus of an ongoing programme of further seismic data acquisition and drilling.

The article presents the results of Bromopsis inermis (Leyss.) Holub study under cultivation conditionsat the ash dump of the Sredneuralskaya state regional power station (SUGRES) located in the taiga zone. Studies haveshown that rehabilitation activities at the ash dump of SUGRES created favorable conditions for the growth of plants.Bromopsis inermis is the most promising for growing on ashes with the application of peat. The biological feature of thisspecies is the development of a powerful root system with a sufficient content of mineral nutrition elements in the peatand intensive shoot formation, which contributed to its active vegetative renewal and the creation of long-lasting (morethan 20 years) productive culture phytocenoses.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis is a reflective piece that examines the nature of racial complaint with reference to Dr Kris Rallah-Baker's concerns about the racism that characterised his medical education. It will further examine the anti-racist campaign that sprung up in support of Rallah-Baker with a view to illustrating the limits of conventional critical race theory in understanding the course of events. Using the work of Aileen Moreton-Robinson, Gramsci and Stuart Hall, it will be argued that the Rallah-Baker case illustrates that Australian hegemonic formations can never quite command total legitimacy because sovereign formations, anti-racist in outlook, erupt with a frequency and facticity that lay bare the conceit of settler-colonialism. In so doing the paper will work towards an understanding of the critical Indigenous/race paradigm that goes beyond critical race insights borne of other places and experiences. As will be seen, what followed Rallah-Baker's complaint, the campaign that supported him and the concessions finally won was not, as critical race theory is wont to claim, a case simply of ‘interest convergence’; rather it was, I propose, an example of ‘sovereign divergence’.

Full textAbstract:
Platypus Rockshelter is a multicomponent archaeological site set into a conglomerate cliff on the Brisbane River near Fernvale, S.E. Queensland. Excavation revealed seven stratigraphic units in the smaller of two weathered cavities and these date from some 300 BP to younger than 540 BP. An abundance of bone, freshwater mussel shell, charcoal and a lesser amount of other organic material (e.g. feathers, hair, plants) was found associated with numerous stone artefacts. This good organic preservation, when linked with an internally consistent C14 dating series, a model of site formation and an initial understanding of site disturbance processes, makes it feasible to investigate variability in prehistoric human use of Platypus Rockshelter. Details concerning the site's complex stratigraphy, dating and site formation are the focus of a separate paper in this issue of QAR (Hall et al 1988). In accordance with the aims of the Moreton Region Archaeological Project - Stage II (Hall and Hiscock 1988), this companion paper presents data on the assemblage content and discard patterns in order to discuss changing site use during the Holocene. In particular we raise the issue of how the changing morphology of the shelter may have influenced the temporal pattern of cultural discard and follow with a discussion of how the nature of assemblages may be employed to tease out some factors relating to temporal changes in site use. We also offer the caveat that changes in the discard rate of cultural material through time do not necessarily reflect shifts in "occupational intensity".

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT The Appalachian Mountains were formed through multiple phases of Paleozoic orogenesis associated with terrane accretion. The timing, tempo, and significance of each event in New England are obscured by overprinting, the limits of geochronologic tools, and differences between lithotectonic domains. We present new monazite and xenotime geochronology, 40Ar/39Ar thermochronology, and major- and trace-element thermobarometry from major tectonic domains in southern New England and across multiple structural levels. These data show contrasting pressure-temperature-time (P-T-t) paths across tectonic domains and highlight eastward metamorphic overprinting associated with younger tectonic events. Our data and geochemical proxies suggest two major periods of crustal thickening, ca. 455–440 Ma and 400–380 Ma, and a heterogeneous record of thinning/exhumation. Ordovician (Taconic) crustal thickening postdates the interpreted accretion of the Moretown terrane by ~20 m.y. and may have been related to shallow subduction after subduction polarity reversal. Subsequent cooling and exhumation (440–430 Ma) may have been related to the end of the Taconic orogeny and opening of the Connecticut Valley basin. (Neo)Acadian tectonometamorphism is recognized in accreted terranes of New England and is absent in the Taconic block. Amphibolite- to (high-pressure) granulite-facies metamorphism, slow cooling, and protracted anatexis ca. 400–340 Ma support the existence of a long-lived orogenic plateau in southern New England. Exhumation, which began at 340–330 Ma, may have involved ductile (channel) flow. The boundary between continental Laurentia and accreted terranes has been reactivated at multiple times and is presently manifested as a 12–15 km Moho step. At the latitude of our samples, Alleghanian-age tectonism (ca. 310–285 Ma) was limited to retrograde metamorphism, and relatively minor loading and exhumation in the vicinity of the Pelham dome. Our results highlight the sensitivity of the integrative petrochronologic approach and the transition of the eastern margin of Laurentia from terrane accretion to the formation of a high-elevation plateau.

Full textAbstract:
It has been shown that, under culture conditions, human endothelial cells synthetize plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) which neutralize urokinase and tissue plasminogen activator.Treatment of human endothelial cells with LPS (50 ngto 10 μg/ml) from S. enteritidis resulted in a dose-dependent increase in PAI production.Fibrinoenzymographic analysis showed that incubation of supernatantfrom LPS-treated cells with urokinase of low and high mol. w. (33.000 and 55.000) led to disappearance of the two urokinase lytic bands and formation of high mol. w. complexes (Mr 93.000 and 107.000). The mol. w. of the urokinase binding factor was calculated to be near 50.000. Polymyxin B and colimycin could suppress this effect of LPS. Injection of LPS (30 ng-30 yg/kg in the rat led to a considerable decrease in the fibrinolytic activity of plasma euglobulins which clot lysis time was prolonged from 55 up to morethan 240 min. This hypofibrinolytic state was associated with PAI detected in euglobulins and in plasma.Large complexes (Mr 80.000-105.000) were formed between exogenous urokinase of low and high mol. w. mixed with post LPS plasma or euglobulins. Polymyxin B and Colimycin could prevent the hypofibrinolytic response to low doses of LPS. These results suggest thatPAI generation in endotoxemia could be due in part to the direct effect of LPS on endothelium.
