Even in totalitarian regimes, freedom of thought presumably cannot be outlawed, provided that such thought remains unspoken and unwritten. In Australia, freedom of expression is taken-for-granted. This paper sets out to ...

Since the last few decades, electrical methods have been widely used in geophysical surveying to obtain high-resolution information about subsurface conditions. Resistivity is an important parameter in judging the ground ...

Multi-consequent-pole bearingless motors can be used in low speed rotating and swinging stages (or platforms) under specific conditions. A test machine has been designed and built and in this machine two axes of freedom ...

Abstract—We predict the scattering loss in rectangular high index-contrast waveguides, using a new variation of the classical approach of coupled-mode theory. The loss predicted by this three-dimensional (3-D) model is ...

Solar glazing based on reflective or absorptive coatings of noble metals or dielectric compounds respectively is well-known. However, the use of gold nano-particles in an absorptive role has hardly been considered. The ...

A shrub savannah landscape in Niger was optically characterized utilizing blue, green, red and near-infrared wavelengths. Selected vegetation indices were evaluated for their performance and sensitivity to describe the ...

This paper aims to contribute towards the development of a radio feature language a crucial link in the development of a radio feature critical culture. Using the work of radio producer Tony Barrell as afocus the author ...

Cephalopods play a key role in many marine trophic food webs and also constitute alternative fishery resources in the context of the ongoing decline in finfish stocks. Most coastal cephalopod species of commercial importance ...

Abstract-\. The distribution of226Ra, Ca, Ba and Mg in the tissues of the freshwater mussel, Velesunio angasi, was studied. 2. The concentration of 226Ra is significantly (P < 0.05) and positively correlated with the ...
