New danger from Hoary cress

HOARY CRESS is undoubtedly one of the worst weeds introduced into Australia. It is a vigorous deep rooted perennial which competes strongly with crop plants and seriously decreases yields. The importance of three recent discoveries of this weed in Western Australia therefore need hardly be stressed. G. R. W. Meadly, Offlcer-in-Charge of the Weeds and Seeds Branch, and R. D. Royce, Offlcer-in- Charge of the Botany Branch, report on two recently found infestations of hoary cross in the Great Southern, and one at Jerramongup. An intensive eradication programme is under way

Youth Perspectives on Meaningful Participation in Community Based Programs: A Qualitative Assessment

Allowing the voiceless to have a voice is a tenet of empowerment. This paper highlights research that employed a participatory action research framework to gain a better understanding of young people’s perceptions about youth empowerment and acquire their perspective (voice) about the meaningfulness of participation in out-of-school advocacy and volunteer program activities. Using Photovoice, the research provides a missing point of view in youth empowerment model development. Results indicate that the quality of a youth’s participation in a community-based program is determined by 1) youth expressing themselves without censorship, 2) occasions for youth to expand their social networks with youth and adults, and 3) adults observing and valuing youth contributions. These findings raise implications for community-based, youth empowerment programs including program philosophy, program procedures, youth empowerment content and activities, and adult leadership style. The findings may assist practitioners when designing youth empowering activities and researchers when operationalizing youth empowerment

Using Photovoice to Examine and Initiate Youth Empowerment in Community-Based Programs: A Picture of Process and Lessons Learned

Photovoice is a creative, participatory action research method that puts cameras in the hands of people whose voice is often hushed by the power elite, such as youth, to document issues and concerns as perceived by that group. Adult society provides youth few opportunities to positively influence the laws and regulations that govern their lives or the policies of programs in which they participate. Communitybased programs are one channel for youth to gain skills and opportunities for changing the community context in which they live. Mechanisms to facilitate youth empowerment in these programs, however, are currently vague and imprecise. Photovoice was implemented in two community-based youth programs in South Carolina to examine and initiate youth empowerment in those communities. This article details the process and lessons learned from conducting Photovoice with youth in out-of-school, community-based youth program settings. While roadblocks appeared for both the youth researchers and the universitybased investigative team, the Photovoice method was embraced by the youth who participated in the research process. Some challenges the investigative team experienced for implementation included geographic distance between the Photovoice project facilitator and the youth, challenges of working with youth and their competing commitments, an uncertainty of youth expectations, and underestimation of time and other resources

Building an Academic Community SmallSat Program

The US Coast Guard Academy (CGA), which educates future officers for service in the US Coast Guard, is developing a multifaceted program in SmallSats. The CGA space initiative includes undergraduate courses, such as a recently-created Remote Sensing course. It incorporates Virginia Space\u27s ThinSat Educational Program, providing hands-on experience in designing, building, and testing miniature satellites through space mission engineering; this involves collaboration between Science and Engineering and is extended to local high schools through their participation in SmallSat projects with CGA faculty and students. An important addition to the CGA space initiative is an MC3 ground station atop the Science Department building at CGA. It will be used to train cadets in satellite operations and ground station hardware, and to acquire data from satellites, allowing for training in cyber security and data analysis, and for use in student and faculty research projects. Sequential year-long senior student capstone projects in the Engineering Department to design, build, and test CubeSats, including new components and innovations, have already begun and will continue. Additional capstone projects involving CubeSats sensors, the use of UAVs, and remote sensing data analysis, including data from the CGA ground station, are planned in the Science Department with the 2020 implementation of a revised Science major

Material Strength Effect in the Shock Compression of Alumina

The Hugoniot elastic limits (HEL) of a high-density aluminum oxide ceramic (Lucalox) and a slightly lower-density ceramic (porosity approximately 4%) were determined to be 112±13 and 83±5 kbar, respectively. Above the HEL, the shock-stress-volume Hugoniot curves for both materials are offset by 40 kbar or more above their hydrostatic-pressure-volume curves. These results indicate that shear stresses with magnitudes of about 30–40 kbar persist in aluminum oxide to shock-pressure levels of at least 300 kbar
