How many migrants come to Australia each year?
No full textAttitudes towards a more generous refugee resettlement program are influenced by beliefs about how many migrants arrive each year. But making the calculation isn’t straightforward. Towards the end of ABC TV's special 'Sovereign Borders' edition of Q&A came an intriguing but frustrating back-and-forth about the number of migrants Australia welcomes each year. The key protagonists were Shen Narayanasamy, GetUp!'s human rights campaign director, and retired general Jim Molan, co-author of the Coalition's refugee and asylum policy and Tony Abbott's former special envoy for Operation Sovereign Borders. As the transcript reveals, the two speakers offered up very different numbers for Australia's annual migration intake
Potential of soil bacteria from the comarca lagunera, north-east Mexico for bioconcrete development
No full textSustainability or environment friendly green technology is based on the use of agents of biological origin that can mimic nature in their process applications. The production and use of conventional Portland cement is significant contributor to emission of greenhouse gases and the resultant global warming. Microbial induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is an emerging technology to minimize the environmental problems, to improve the concrete qualities, and more importantly as a self-healing agent. This study was aimed at isolation, selection and evaluation of urease producing bacterial strains from the soils of Comarca Lagunera of North-East Mexico. Carbonate precipitation is achieved by urease enzyme, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea to CO2 and ammonia, resulting in an increase of the pH and carbonate precipitation. Out of twenty four bacterial strains isolated, six were selected based on their urease activity and were denoted as ACRN1 to ACRN6. All strains recorded their maximum growth after 24 h and death phase after three days. ACRN4 showed the highest biomass production at 35°C, while ACRN6 recorded the least growth rate. Initially the ACRN4, ACRN5 and ACRN6 were evaluated for their potential in increasing the compressive strength of cement mortar by varying the cell concentrations and were observed that addition of bacteria at 105 cells significantly increased the compressive strength around 35%. However, concrete specimens were prepared with ACRN4 at same concentration, in the presence and absence of water reducing additives showed an increase of 4% and a decrease of 6.64% in their compressive strength on 14th day, and a decrease of 6% and 7.6% on 28th day, with and without additive respectively. Scanning electron microscopic and X-ray diffraction studies are in progress to understand the phenomenon observed
