David Gilbert Ferguson
No full textDavid Gilbert Ferguson was born on 7 October 1861 at Muswellbrook, New South Wales, the son of John Ferguson and Elizabeth nee Johnston. He was educated at Scone National and Church of England schools, and at Fort Street Model School, Sydney. (1)<br /><br />Ferguson worked in Sydney as a clerk in a copyright office and as a shorthand writer with Want and Johnson, solicitors. From 1883 to 1890 he financed his studies by working as a journalist for the <em>Sydney Morning Herald</em> and <em>Daily Telegraph</em> and by reporting for Hansard for the Queensland Parliament and the New South Wales Parliament. He graduated from St Andrew's College, University of Sydney (Levey Science Scholar 1883, BA 1886). The Levey Science Scholarship of fifty pounds was given to a second year student, after examination, for proficiency in natural science. (2)<br /><br />Ferguson was admitted to the New South Wales Bar on 8 March 1890. His speciality in practice was Common Law jurisdiction. He was a member of the NSW Bar Association council from 1902/3 to 1910/11. He also held a Challis Lectureship at the University of Sydney from 1901 to 1911, lecturing on the law of procedure in civil and criminal cases, evidence and pleading. (3)<br /><br />Ferguson was appointed an Acting Judge of the Supreme Court of New South Wales from 13 March 1911 for six months under the Supreme Court and Circuit Courts Act, 1900, to sit and act in every jurisdiction. His appointment was extended from 13 September 1911 for further six months. On 6 March 1912 he was permanently appointed a Puisne Judge of the Supreme Court. Ferguson's expertise was in the law of evidence. In 1926 he presided over the action brought by Sister Ligouri (Brigid Partridge) against Bishop J W Dwyer. He was Acting Chief Justice from 1 February 1929 to 31 December 1929. He retired from the Supreme Court on 6 October 1931. (4)<br /><br />From 27 February to 19 May 1915, Ferguson presided over the Royal Commission of inquiry respecting the Wheat Acquisition Act. He investigated whether interference or bribery was used to secure the passage of this Act, which cancelled forward contracts for the sale of wheat following the failure of the 1914 rains. From 23 April to 18 June 1918 and 31 October to 31 November 1919 he presided over three of the Royal Commissions of inquiry into the 'standard price' of gas under the Gas Act, 1912 (Act No.71, 1912) and Gas (Amendment) Act, 1918 (Act No.3, 1918). The Australian Gaslight Company and North Shore Gas Company Limited applied for an increase in the price of gas above the 'standard price' set in the 1912 Act. (5)<br /><br />Following his retirement from the Supreme Court of NSW, he was Chairman of the Commonwealth Royal Commission on Taxation. This commission, established on 6 October 1932, looked at the simplification and standardisation of the taxation laws of the Commonwealth and States where they related to the same matters, for example income tax, land tax and death duties. The commission presented its fourth and final report on 10 October 1934. He received his knighthood on 4 June 1934 for being Chairman of the Royal Commission into Taxation. (6)<br /><br />In 1902 Ferguson was a vice-president of the Sydney University Law Society, established that year, and president in 1912-1913 and 1917-1918. He was a Fellow of the Senate of the University of Sydney from 1913 to 1934 and Vice-Chancellor from 1919 to 1921. (7) In 1915 and 1916 he was Official Visitor to German prisoners of war in NSW and later Chairman of the Returned Soldiers' Amelioration Committee. He was Chairman of the Returned Soldiers and Sailors Employment Board (NSW) from its establishment on 30 April 1935 until his death. (8)<br /><br />On 16 March 1887 he married Alice Rosa Annie Curtis. His third son, Keith Aubrey Ferguson, became a Supreme Court Judge. David Gilbert Ferguson died at Woollahra on 2 November 1941.

Haemorrhagic kidney syndrome of Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L.
No full textThis report describes a new syndrome affecting farmed Atlantic salmon on the Canadian east coast that has resulted in increased morbidity and mortality in affected stocks. The major pathological findings are apparent only microscopically and include renal interstitial haemorrhage and acute tubular necrosis and tubular casting. As a result, the disease has become known as haemorrhagic kidney syndrome (HKS). Affected fish are lethargic and anorectic, and lark external lesions. Clinically, HKS fish are anaemic, hypoproteinaemic and hyperosmolalic, with increased serum concentrations of sodium and chloride. At necropsy, internal changes ranged from apparently normal to include one or several of the following: swelling and/or patchy reddening of the kidney, pale gills, exophthalmos, serosanguinous ascites, darkening of the posterior intestine and splenomegaly. Ultrastructurally, viral inclusions were found in the cytoplasm of erythrocytes of HKS fish, and there were unusual electron-dense inclusions within the tips of renal tubular microvilli of HKS fish. The significance and relevance of the ultrastructural findings to HKS are unknown. Virus isolation was attempted using CHSE, RTG-2, FH-10, BE and EPC cell lines; no virus was isolated. Bacteriological analysis failed to reveal significant pathogens. Analysis of tissues for heavy metals and pesticides was negative. Assays for clostridial toxins, lipopolysaccharide and verotoxins were negative. The aetiology of HKS remains unresolved.PT: J; CR: AHNE W, 1989, VIRUSES LOWER VERTEB, V3 ARMSTRONG R, 1993, CAN VET J, V34, P312 AUSTIN B, 1993, BACTERIAL FISH PATHO BOVO G, 1995, DIS AQUAT ORGAN, V21, P115 CONFER AW, 1995, THOMSONS SPECIAL VET, P209 DANNEVIG BH, 1995, J GEN VIROL, V76, P1353 EATON WD, 1993, J GEN VIROL, V74, P2299 EVENSEN O, 1991, RES VET SCI, V51, P215 FERGUSON HW, 1982, VET PATHOL, V19, P687 FOOTT JS, 1992, J AQUAT ANIM HEALTH, V4, P306 HETRICK FM, 1993, ANN REV FISH DIS, V3, P187 KIMURA T, 1986, DIS AQUAT ORGAN, V1, P209 KIMURA T, 1989, VIRUSES LOWER VERTEB, V3 KOSKI P, 1992, BULL EUR ASSN FISH P, V12, P177 LAMAS J, 1995, J FISH DIS, V18, P425 MEIER W, 1994, ANN REV FISH DIS, V4, P359 NOUGAYREDE P, 1992, B EUROPEAN ASS FISH, V12, P5 PINTO RA, 1992, J AQUATIC ANIMAL HLT, V4, P292 ROBERTS RJ, 1994, RECENT ADV AQUACULTU, V5 SANO T, 1995, AQUACULTURE, V132, P43 SMITH LS, 1975, MISCELLANEOUS SPECIA, V27 SPEILBERG L, 1995, VET PATHOL, V32, P466 THOESEN JC, 1994, BLUE BOOK SUGGESTED TISHER CC, 1989, RENAL PATHOLOGY CLIN, V1 WADDELL TE, 1996, INFECT IMMUN, V64, P1714 WOLF K, 1988, FISH VIRUSES FISH VI WOOD CM, 1995, PHYSL ECOLOGY PACIFI; NR: 27; TC: 29; J9: J FISH DISEASES; PG: 11; GA: 170XZSource type: Electronic(1

The mineral prospecting expeditions to the South Atlantic islands and Antarctic Peninsula region made by the Scottish geologist David Ferguson, 1912-1914
No full textDavid Ferguson’s mineral prospecting expeditions to South Georgia (1912), the Falkland Islands and the South Shetland Islands (1913–1914), on behalf of the Christian Salvesen whaling company of Leith and now largely forgotten, were early examples of commercially motivated terrestrial exploration in the South Atlantic region. Prior geological knowledge was very limited and Ferguson complemented his unsuccessful prospecting work with attempts to understand the regional geology of the areas that he visited. These interpretations were based on relatively cursory fieldwork undertaken in an arduous environment, and did not prove robust; but the well-documented specimen collections that Ferguson accumulated provided the basis for excellent and much-cited petrographical accounts by G. W. Tyrrell of Glasgow University. Ferguson had studied geology at the university and the influence of his mentor there, Professor J. W. Gregory, is apparent. In turn, Gregory utilized Ferguson’s observations in support of a subsided ‘South Atlantic continent’, opposing the ‘displacement hypothesis’ for that region formalized by Alfred Wegener from 1912 onwards. Ferguson’s field notebooks and most of his rock specimens are now held by Glasgow University (Archive Services and Hunterian Museum, respectively) but he distributed representative specimen collections widely, and these are extant in several other British museums. Specimens were also supplied to, and discussed with, William Speirs Bruce who, following the 1902–1904 Scottish National Antarctic Expedition, took a keen interest in Ferguson’s discoveries

Measurement of J/ψ production in pp collisions at s√=2.76TeV
No full textThe production of J/ψ mesons is studied with the LHCb detector using data from pp collisions at s√=2.76 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 71 nb−1. The differential cross-section for inclusive J/ψ production is measured as a function of its transverse momentum p T. The cross-section in the fiducial region 0 < p T < 12 GeV/c and rapidity 2.0 < y <4.5 is measured to be 5.6 ± 0.1 (stat) ± 0.4 (syst) μb, with the assumption of unpolarised J/ψ production. The fraction of J/ψ production from b-hadron decays is measured to be (7.1 ± 0.6 (stat) ± 0.7 (syst))%
Production of J/ψ and Υ mesons in pp collisions at s√=8 TeV
No full textThe production of J/ψ and Υ mesons in pp collisions at s√=8 TeV is studied with the LHCb detector. The J/ψ and Υ mesons are reconstructed in the μ + μ − decay mode and the signal yields are determined with a fit to the μ + μ − invariant mass distributions. The analysis is performed in the rapidity range 2. 0 < y < 4. 5 and transverse momentum range 0 < p T < 14 (15) GeV/c of the J/ψ (Υ) mesons. The J/ψ and Υ production cross-sections and the fraction of J/ψ mesons from b-hadron decays are measured as a function of the meson p T and y
