Central Northern Adelaide Health Service: A Social Health Atlas

Copyright © 2005 State of South AustraliaThe purpose of this Social Health Atlas is to provide the basis for the region to understand and determine priorities for regional health planning, and for key partners in other government or non-goverment agencies to utilise the data to inform their planning processes

The Influence of Metallicity on Star Formation in Protogalaxies

In cold dark matter cosmological models, the first stars to form are believed to do so within small protogalaxies. We wish to understand how the evolution of these early protogalaxies changes once the gas forming them has been enriched with small quantities of heavy elements, which are produced and dispersed into the intergalactic medium by the first supernovae. Our initial conditions represent protogalaxies forming within a fossil H II region, a previously ionized region that has not yet had time to cool and recombine. We study the influence of low levels of metal enrichment on the cooling and collapse of ionized gas in small protogalactic halos using three-dimensional, smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations that incorporate the effects of the appropriate chemical and thermal processes. Our previous simulations demonstrated that for metallicities Z < 0.001 Z_sun, metal line cooling alters the density and temperature evolution of the gas by less than 1% compared to the metal-free case at densities below 1 cm-3) and temperatures above 2000 K. Here, we present the results of high-resolution simulations using particle splitting to improve resolution in regions of interest. These simulations allow us to address the question of whether there is a critical metallicity above which fine structure cooling from metals allows efficient fragmentation to occur, producing an initial mass function (IMF) resembling the local Salpeter IMF, rather than only high-mass stars.Comment: 3 pages, 2 figures, First Stars III conference proceeding

Survey on Consumption of Vegetables and Fruits in a Coastal District in Ghana

In 2000, The World Health Organisation reported that at least 254 million preschool children suffer from subclinical vitamin A deficiency (VAD) globally. Vitamin A deficiency adversely affects growth, reproduction and resistance to infection, which could have serious economic consequences for a nation in terms of increased medical cost and reduced workforce. Strategies to reduce VAD included periodic vitamin A supplementation of children, but this is donor-dependent and therefore not sustainable. Dietary diversification in low income groups using beta-carotene rich foods such as orange fleshed foods and green leafy vegetables is being advocated. For an effective nutrition promotion drive, however, it is important to study the foods consumed in a particular locality so as to design an appropriate intervention package for that community. The current work therefore surveyed the consumption of vegetables and fruits in a coastal district of Ghana so as to identify the potential vegetables that could be promoted in the district for improving their vitamin A status. The results showed that several fruits and vegetables are eaten in the district, but the potential beta-carotene rich ones that could be promoted on a sustainable basis are mangoes and drumstick leaves. Mangoes are abundant in the district during the two fruiting seasons and could be easily accessed by the inhabitants. Likewise, drumstick leaves are available all year round and these could be incorporated into selected recipes in the school feeding programme, and could also be used in making convenience foods for easy access. Keywords: Beta-carotene, vitamin A deficiency (VAD), green leafy vegetables, fruit

Supporting novel home network management interfaces with Openflow and NOX

The Homework project has examined redesign of existing home network infrastructures to better support the needs and requirements of actual home users. Integrating results from several ethnographic studies, we have designed and built a home networking platform providing detailed per-flow measurement and management capabilities supporting several novel management interfaces. This demo specifically shows these new visualization and control interfaces, and describes the broader benefits of taking an integrated view of the networking infrastructure, realised through our router's augmented measurement and control APIs. Aspects of this work have been published: the Homework Database in Internet Management (IM) 2011 and implications of the ethnographic results are to appear at the SIGCOMM W-MUST workshop 2011. Separate, more detailed expositions of the interface elements and system performance and implications are currently under submission at other venues. A partial code release is already available and we anticipate fuller public beta release by Q4 2011

A length scale for the superconducting Nernst signal above Tc_{c} in Nb0.15_{0.15}Si0.85_{0.85}

We present a study of the Nernst effect in amorphous superconducting thin films of Nb$_{0.15}$Si$_{0.85}$. The field dependence of the Nernst coefficient above T$_{c}$ displays two distinct regimes separated by a field scale set by the Ginzburg-Landau correlation length. A single function $F(\xi)$, with the correlation length as its unique argument set either by the zero-field correlation length (in the low magnetic field limit) or by the magnetic length (in the opposite limit), describes the Nernst coefficient. We conclude that the Nernst signal observed on a wide temperature ($30 \times T_c$) and field ($4 \times B_{c2}$) range is exclusively generated by short-lived Cooper pairs.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
