Efficacy and Residue Comparisons between Two Slow-release Formulations of Fluridone
Get PDFResidue profiles and efficacy of Avast and Sonar, two slow
release pellet formulations of fluridone {1-methyl-3-phenyl-5-
[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenly]-4(1H)-pyridinone}, were compared
in outdoor tanks. Hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata (L.f.)
Royle) and southern naiad (Najas guadalupensis (Sprengel)
Magnus) were treated with a split application of 6, 12, 18 and
24 μg/l a.i. fluridone and the concentrations of both formulations
compared over a 134-day period. Both pellet formulations
exhibited very similar residues over time for each
respective treatment, resulted in peak concentrations of fluridone
40 to 50 days after application, and effectively and
similarly controlled southern naiad and hydrilla at all rates
tested by 92 days after initial application. (PDF contains 3 pages.
Australia’s female political leaders: a quick guide
Get PDFIntroduction: This Quick Guide draws together information about women who have held leadership positions in Australia from Federation to May 2014. It includes vice-regal appointments, presiding officers, government, opposition and parliamentary party leaders, and parliamentary party presidents.
This Quick Guide includes dates in office, positions held and significant firsts. It also includes women who have served as deputy leaders in the Commonwealth Parliament. The final table presents women who have held executive (non-parliamentary) leadership positions in the parliamentary parties.
This information has been compiled from a range of sources including the Commonwealth Parliamentary Handbook, the Australian Electoral Commission, vice-regal, parliamentary and political party websites, biographies and archives relating to women in politics, and media articles relating to individual appointments.
A hyperlink to individual biographies is included where available, together with selected online sources for further reading. Using the arrows that appear in the header, the information may be ordered by name, party, jurisdiction, chamber and year of election/appointment.
The Parliamentary Library would appreciate receiving additional information or corrections that may assist in compiling future updates

City Sets – Narrating Visual Urban Identities
Get PDFCity Sets - Visual Urban Identities was a workshop and a seminar arranged for post-graduate students in graphic design, new media, photography and architecture in November 2010. The aim was to research and discuss designs, artifacts and visual narratives embedded in an urban environment. Photo-observation, video recording and interviews were used to collect pictorial material and to investigate modes of visualizing information, identities, promotion and narratives in cities.
City Sets is a metaphor that refers to cities as stages where passers-by are seen as actors. Architecture in an urban environment tells history and frames places, which can be seen as stages for various scenes and encounters to come about. Advertising and signage as city sets influence the appearance of a place, although their functions are information and promotion. Arts on streets have developed new modes for participation questioning the restrictions and rights to use public space.
Anthropologists have used photography and filming for documentation since 1800s and photo-observation is associated with ethnography. For artists and designers it is a method to explore and observe the world and collect material to create new artworks. In City Sets project these two aspects were combined. In collaborative fieldwork the students documented urban scenes and collected material, which they developed further and created multi-linear visual narratives. The material was arranged and presented online by the City Sets Multilinear media player application designed for the project. The paper presents the workshop model as a visual method applicable for research and for media design
