    Golden Years of Australian Radio Astronomy (2022)
    Springer Nature | Springer
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: The evolution of Australian radio astronomy from 1945 to 1960 has been studied in detail by numerous historians of science in recent years. This Open Access book is the first to present an overview of this remarkable chapter in Australian science. The book begins in the post-war period, as the Radiophysics Laboratory in Sydney switched from secret wartime research on radar to peacetime applications of this new technology. Next follows the detection of radio waves from space and the ensuing transformation of this fledgling science into the dominant research program at the Radiophysics Lab. Drawing from this history, the book shows how by 1960 the Radiophysics Lab had become the largest and most successful radio astronomy group in the world. The final chapter presents an overview of Australian radio astronomy from 1960 to the present day, as Australia prepares to co-host the multi-national, multi-billion-dollar Square Kilometre Array. Nearly 300 high-quality images complement the text, drawn from a wide range of sources including the extensive collection held by the CSIRO Radio Astronomy Image Archive. The book will be an essential reference for readers interested in the scientific and cultural development of radio astronomy. This book is published open access under a CC BY 4.0 license.

    Eco-labelling and the Trade-Environment Debate (2005)

    Notes: In this paper we consider the effectiveness of eco-labels as a substitute for alternative, but trade-restrictive, environmental policies. Specifically, while there are concerns that eco-labelling requirements increase the cost of international trade, due to their potential for misuse as technical trade barriers, little attention has been given to the environmental benefits of eco-labelling. We show that incentive problems inherent in eco-labelling policies make it a very weak tool of environmental policy. Despite this, we argue that eco-labelling schemes may remain popular, owing to the lack of alternative WTO compliant environmental policies. We also use this framework to consider the economic and political conflicts facing the EU with regard to its policies on genetically modified organisms.

    The Relationship between Work Setting and Employee Behaviour:: A Study of a Critical Linkage in the Organizational Change Process (1994)

    Notes: It is argued that the behaviour of organizational members is influencedto a large extent by characteristics of their work settings.Furthermore, since individuals must change their behaviour in order fororganizational improvement to occur, planned organizational change canbe viewed as an attempt to change organizational work settingcharacteristics such that individuals will adopt new, desirablebehaviours. Based on these premisses, explores the relationship betweenorganizational work settings and behaviour. In particular, three worksetting features that are often the target of intervention activity– goals, managerial behaviour, and job designs - are examined regardingtheir relationships with a set of employee behaviours relevant toplanned organizational change and, potentially, organizationalperformance. Only goals demonstrate a significant relationship with thefrequency of these behaviours. Furthermore, the three work settingvariables do not appear to have an interactive effect on behaviour.Consistency in behaviour is found to be related to the extent to whichimportant dimensions of the work setting variables are congruent witheach other. Implications for future research are discussed.

    Habitat use by the inland carpet python (Morelia spilota metcalfei: Pythonidae): Seasonal relationships with habitat structure and prey distribution in a rural landscape (2004)

    Notes: Abstract  Squamate reptiles are significant components of woodland vertebrate communities in eastern Australia, but their ecology is poorly understood. We investigated seasonal variation in habitat use by the Inland Carpet Python, Morelia spilota metcalfei Wells and Wellington (Pythonidae), a threatened snake that inhabits the woodland environments of the Murray–Darling Basin. Nine pythons were radiotracked within and near the Mount Meg Flora and Fauna Reserve in north-eastern Victoria to investigate how habitat structure and prey distribution (namely, that of the European Rabbit, Oryctolagus cuniculus L. (Leporidae)) influenced seasonal movement patterns. Data were analysed over three spatial scales to allow firm interpretations regarding resource selection. Pythons exhibited distinct seasonal trends in habitat use. During the cooler spring months, snakes chose warm, well-insulated microhabitats, primarily rocky outcrops on north- and north-west-facing hillsides. Pythons moved widely during the summer months, apparently in search of prey. Snake localities could be readily linked to rabbit distribution at this time. Specifically, snakes moved to more open, disturbed habitats that contained a high density of rabbits, and consistently selected microhabitats in close proximity to rabbit burrows. In autumn, habitat use was transitional, as snakes progressively returned to the rocky hillsides where they overwintered. Thus, trends in habitat use were influenced by the snakes' thermoregulatory and foraging strategies. Careful management of specific habitats and feral prey populations is required to conserve populations of this endangered snake.

    Why the Tigers Roared: Capital Accumulation and the East Asian Miracle (2002)

    Notes: Recent growth accounting studies of Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan and South Korea have found that the Solow residuals in these economies were relatively small. Given the high capital contributions, these results are often interpreted as evidence that factor accumulation, savings and investment were the principal cause of the East Asian miracle. This paper develops an alternative method of analysing these data, combining growth accounting methods with the linearized neoclassical growth model of Mankiw et al. (1992). The method explicitly quantifies the extent to which increases in productivity, as measured by the Solow residual, induced capital accumulation in these economies. It shows that in Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea, productivity growth contributed between half and two-thirds of the growth in GDP per worker over a 20-year period.

    Notes: [Auszug] SIR - There is much interest in the use of fluctuating asymmetry as an indicator of selective pressures on an ornamental character1"4. In particular, it has been suggested that the degree of symmetry of a character, if it is paired, can indicate male quality as well as its overall length, and if ...

    The origins of white-chinned petrels killed by long-line fisheries off South Africa and New Zealand (2016)
    Norwegian Polar Institute
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-06-22
    Description: The white-chinned petrel ( Procellaria aequinoctialis ) is the seabird species most frequently killed by fisheries in the Southern Ocean and is listed by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources as globally vulnerable. It breeds around the sub-Antarctic, but genetic data identified two subspecies: P. a. aequinoctialis from islands in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans and P. a. steadi from the New Zealand sub-Antarctic islands. We identify the region of origin of birds killed by two long-line fisheries based on differences in the mitochondrial gene cytochrome b . All 113 birds killed off South Africa had the haplotype of P. a. aequinoctialis , whereas all the 60 birds from New Zealand had P. a. steadi haplotypes. The two subspecies of white-chinned petrels thus appear to disperse to different regions irrespective of their age, which accords with the tracking data of adult birds. Our finding has significant implications for managing the bycatch of this species by regional fisheries. Keywords: Fishery bycatch; Procellaria aequinoctialis ; genetic structure; genetic diversity; demographic impact.
