The essential roles of metal ions in insect homeostasis and physiology
Metal ions play distinct roles in living organisms, including insects. Some, like sodium and potassium, are central players in osmoregulation and âblood and gutsâ transport physiology, and have been implicated in cold adaptation. Calcium is a key player as a second messenger, and as a structural element. Other metals, particularly those with multiple redox states, can be cofactors in many metalloenzymes, but can contribute to toxic oxidative stress on the organism in excess. This short review selects some examples where classical knowledge has been supplemented with recent advances, in order to emphasize the importance of metals as essential nutrients for insect survival
Higher Education Loan Program (HELP): a quick guide
This guide provides an overview of higher education student loans that are provided through the Higher Education Loan Program (HELP).
Introduction: Australiaâs Higher Education Loan Program (HELP) provides loans to Commonwealth-supported tertiary students. The scheme allows students to defer the costs of tuition until their taxable income reaches a certain level at which repayments commence.
HELP is regulated by provisions in the Higher Education Support Act 2003 and administered by the Department of Education. HELP debts and repayments are managed by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO)
History of Thought and Methodology in Pluralist Economics Education
The purpose of the paper is to develop the argument that history of thought and methodology should form part of the content of pluralist teaching in economics, where the aim of this teaching is to equip students to exercise their own judgement as economists. Discussion of the nature and scope of economics, with examples from history, helps students understand what is involved in considering a range of approaches and methods (rather than uncritically accepting one general approach, but without resorting to 'anything goes'). A way of teaching about the current crisis is used as an exemplar.
Tie-points and fixed-points in N^*
A point x is a (bow) tie-point of a space X if X setminus {x} can be
partitioned into (relatively) clopen sets each with x in its closure.
Tie-points have appeared in the construction of non-trivial autohomeomorphisms
of betaN setminus N and in the recent study of (precisely) 2-to-1 maps on betaN
setminus N . In these cases the tie-points have been the unique fixed point of
an involution on betaN setminus N. This paper is motivated by the search for
2-to-1 maps and obtaining tie-points of strikingly differing characteristics
