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.

Inteligencji wieki stare i nowe [Rec. David Adam: Ukryty geniusz. Pigułki na rozum, hakerzy mózgu i sekrety inteligencji]
No full textThe book entitled The Genius Within: Smart Pills, Brain Hacks and Adventures in Intelligence written by David Adam may easily be placed among the publications of acclaimed historians and science popularisers, such as Niall Ferguson, Yuval Noah Harari, and Bill Bryson. The author, a chemist by profession, takes the reader on a journey through the historical research on human intelligence. A lot of space in the book is, however, devoted to the presentation of some experiments that the author himself underwent. In the book’s conclusions, drawing of both the past and the present, the author claims that the future belongs to the neuroscience revolution.Książka Ukryty geniusz.

Cardiomyopathy in farmed Norwegian salmon
No full textThis paper describes the gross findings, histopathology, and ultrastructural and scanning electron microscopical (SEM) appearance of farmed Norwegian Atlantic salmon dying from a disease known locally as 'acute heart failure'. Pathological findings were mainly cardiac, and some fish showed haemopericardium due to rupture of the atrial wall. Lesions were largely restricted to the spongy portion of ventricle and atrium, and comprised myocardial degeneration and necrosis, with variable degrees of endocardial-associated hypercellularity, plus macrophage and lymphocyte infiltration; epicarditis was also present in most fish. Transmission electron microscope findings confirmed the myofibrillar disruption, while the SEM showed crater-like discontinuities in the endocardial plasmalemma. The cause and pathogenesis of these severe lesions are unknown; whether they are primarily degenerative or inflammatory requires more detailed study. Until more is known, the term cardiomyopathy syndrome seems most appropriate..RE: 13 ref.; SC: ZA; VE; CA; 0I; 0V; 2VSource type: Electronic(1) http://upei-resolver.asin-risa.ca?sid=SP:CABI&id=pmid:&id=&issn=0177-5103&isbn=&volume=8&issue=3&spage=225&pages=225-231&date=1990&title=Diseases%20of%20Aquatic%20Organisms&atitle=Cardiomyopathy%20in%20farmed%20Norwegian%20salmon.&aulast=Ferguson&pid=%3Cauthor%3EFerguson%2c%20H%20W%3bPoppe%2c%20T%3bSpeare%2c%20D%20J%3C%2Fauthor%3E%3CAN%3E19922260438%3C%2FAN%3E%3CDT%3EJournal%20article%3C%2FDT%3
