Preliminary results from the dust flux monitoring instrument during the encounter of Stardust spacecraft with Wild-2 comet

On January 2, 2004, the Stardust spacecraft successfully encountered the Wild-2 comet. The Dust Flux Monitoring Instrument (DFMI) provided quantitative measurements of dust particle fluxes and particle mass distributions throughout the entire flythrough

Indigenous Australians and competition and consumer issues: A review of the literature and an annotated bibliography

This working paper is based on a literature search conducted to identify and review relevant Australian and overseas research that is of relevance to Indigenous competition and consumer protection matters. The focus of the literature search has been on matters of relevance to Indigenous communities throughout Australia related to the Trade Practices Act 1974 (TPA). Results of the literature search suggest that most research conducted to date has focused on issues associated with Indigenous community stores and consumer banking. In addition, the geographic focus of past research has been predominantly on remote and regional Australia, areas where the structural impediments associated with remoteness may impede competition. Further, although the research has included some discussion of competition in Indigenous communities, it has mainly focused on consumer issues

A summary of Western Ag’s fall 2009 field soil testing results

Non-Peer ReviewedThe reporting of regional or provincial soil test summaries has varying degrees of value depending on the individual using the data. The monitoring of yearly data will give indications of “average” soil nutrient supply changes over time. As well, year to year differences can provide the fertilizer industry signals of anticipated demand. The relevance to an individual field is quite limited. The data presented here is a summary of fall 2009, and a three year comparison of N, P, K, and S soil supply rates as measured by PRS (Plant Root Simulator)™-Probe Technology at Western Ag Labs Ltd
