Fishing futures

This policy brief focuses on fisheries and provides three perspectives: one, an overview of the underlying causes of overfishing; two, a discussion on the recent efforts of Australia to put its Commonwealth fisheries on a sustainable management path; and three, the challenges faced by our Pacific neighbours in managing valuable and migratory tuna fisheries. The contents are: Too few fish and too many boats by R. Quentin Grafton Getting things right: structural adjustment in Australia’s Commonwealth fisheries by Tom Kompas Ensuring sustainable fisheries in the Pacific by Kate Barcla

Breeding wheat varieties for acid soils

Wheat varieties with improved tolerance of acid soils cold increase yeilds be perhaps 20 per cent or more over a substantialarea ofWestern Australia\u27s eastern wheatbelt. Aluminium toxicity is probably the main cause of poor root growth and therefore reduced yields on these soils

Determination of Return to Play in Infectious Mononucleosis

Splenic rupture is a rare, but potentially life-threatening, complication of infectious mononucleosis. Splenic rupture is generally uncommon four weeks after infection onset, however given the long incubation period and prodromal symptomatology characteristic of infectious mono, it can be difficult to determine an individual patient\u27s risk in the clinical setting. Additionally, diagnostic labs have high false negative rates in the first 1-2 weeks of infection. To help alleviate diagnostic uncertainty and protect patients against outcomes such a splenic rupture, an evaluation and consolidation of the available literature yielded a simplified schematic of advisable activity levels for each stage of infection.https://scholarworks.uvm.edu/fmclerk/1392/thumbnail.jp

High-Spatial-Resolution K-Band Imaging of Select K2 Campaign Fields

NASA's K2 mission began observing fields along the ecliptic plane in 2014. Each observing campaign lasts approximately 80 days, during which high-precision optical photometry of select astrophysical targets is collected by the Kepler spacecraft. Due to the 4 arcsec pixel scale of the Kepler photometer, significant blending between the observed targets can occur (especially in dense fields close to the Galactic plane). We undertook a program to use the Wide Field Camera (WFCAM) on the 3.8 m United Kingdom InfraRed Telescope (UKIRT) to collect high-spatial-resolution near-infrared images of targets in select K2 campaign fields, which we report here. These 0.4 arcsec resolution K-band images offer the opportunity to perform a variety of science, including vetting exoplanet candidates by identifying nearby stars blended with the target star and estimating the size, color, and type of galaxies observed by K2.Comment: 2 pages, Published by Research Notes of the American Astronomical Societ
