Alcohol, assault and licensed premises in inner-city areas
Get PDFThis report contains eight linked feasibility studies conducted in Cairns during 2010. These exploratory studies examine the complex challenges of compiling and sharing information about incidents of person-to-person violence in a late night entertainment precinct (LNEP). The challenges were methodological as well as logistical and ethical. The studies look at how information can be usefully shared, while preserving the confidentiality of those involved. They also examine how information can be compiled from routinely collected sources with little or no additional resources, and then shared by the agencies that are providing and using the information.Although the studies are linked, they are also stand-alone and so can be published in peer-reviewed literature. Some have already been published, or are ‘in press’ or have been submitted for review. Others require the NDLERF board’s permission to be published as they include data related more directly to policing, or they include information provided by police.The studies are incorporated into the document under section headings. In each section, they are introduced and then presented in their final draft form. The final published form of each paper, however, is likely to be different from the draft because of journal and reviewer requirements. The content, results and implications of each study are discussed in summaries included in each section.Funded by the National Drug Law Enforcement Research Fund, an initiative of the National Drug StrategyAlan R Clough (PhD) School of Public Health, Tropical Medicine and Rehabilitation Sciences James Cook UniversityCharmaine S Hayes-Jonkers (BPsy, BSocSci (Hon1)) James Cook University, Cairns.Edward S Pointing (BPsych) James Cook University, Cairns

Current speed and acoustic backscatter data measured with a Bottom Boundary (BOBO) lander at the Gardar Drift in the North Atlantic
No full textTo monitor particle fluxes and near bottom hydrographic variability a modified version of the benthic Bottom Boundary (BOBO) lander was deployed at 57° 29.09 N, 27° 54.53 W on the Gardar Drift at a water depth of 2630 m. The deployment lasted from 16/09/2007 to 19/09/2008. Current velocity (S and W; cm/s) and acoustic backscatter (counts) were monitored at 15-min intervals using an upward looking RD Instruments 1200-kHz ADCP. These are the data from 6.65 m above the seafloor. Full details about the deployment can be found in Jonkers et al., 2010 (doi:10.1016/j.dsr.2010.05.005)

No full textSalinity, temperature and optical backscatter data measured with a Bottom Boundary (BOBO) lander at the Gardar Drift in the North Atlantic
No full textTo monitor particle fluxes and near bottom hydrographic variability a modified version of the benthic Bottom Boundary (BOBO) lander was deployed at 57° 29.09 N, 27° 54.53 W on the Gardar Drift at a water depth of 2630 m. These measurements cover the period from 16/09/2007 to 09/09/2008. Salinity and temperature were logged every 15 min at 3 metres above the seafloor with an SBE-16 CT sensor. Two Seapoint optical backscatter sensors were fitted to the lander at 1 and 3 metres above the seafloor recording data every 15 min. Biofouling of the sensor windows may have affected the results, and the lowest sensor (1 mab) appeared temporarily saturated by high turbidity. Full details about the deployment can be found in Jonkers et al., 2010 (doi:10.1016/j.dsr.2010.05.005)
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Mass flux, major components and the Lead 210 concentration of sediment collected using a Bottom Boundary (BOBO) lander at the Gardar Drift in the North Atlantic
No full textTo monitor particle fluxes and near bottom hydrographic variability a modified version of the benthic Bottom Boundary (BOBO) lander was deployed at 57 29.09 N, 27 54.53 W on the Gardar Drift at a water depth of 2630 m. The lander was fitted with three extended Technicap PPS 4/3 sediment traps, each with a baffled collecting area of 0.05 m2 positioned at 4 metres above the seafloor. Trap bottles were filled with ambient seawater and poisoned with a pH-buffered HgCl2 solution and rotated every 11 days. To test the performance of each sediment trap, two traps were programmed to collect material synchronously for three intervals during the deployment. Fluxes were intercepted successfully from 2007-09-19 through 2008-08-03. Full details about the deployment can be found in Jonkers et al., 2010 (doi:10.1016/j.dsr.2010.05.005). Pitch and roll of the lander were recorded and displayed very little variation (1.8370.031 and 0.3370.041, respectively); trapping efficiency was thus uncompromised by the movement of the lander. Upon recovery the pH of the supernatant was measured and found to range from 8.5 to 8.8, indicating minimum sample degradation. The samples were stored at 4 degC. Before sample processing in the laboratory the supernatant was sampled for dissolved Si analysis to correct for the dissolution of the particulate biogenic silica (doi:10.1016/j.margeo.2005.11.001; doi:10.1016/S0967-0645(97)00018-0). Swimmers larger than 1 mm were removed prior to splitting of the samples for further analysis. Carbon and nitrogen were separately analysed on weighed aliquots of the bulk material before and after removal of the carbonate-carbon (doi:10.1016/S0967-0637(02)00030-4) using a Carlo Erba Instruments Flash 1112 elemental analyzer. Biogenic silica (BSi) was determined by continuous alkaline leaching that accounts for contributions by co-leaching of Al-silicates (doi:10.1023/A:1020318610178). The lithogenic content was calculated according to doi:10.1016/S0924-7963(02)00189-6. Samples were analysed for 210Pb activity using the granddaughter 210Po by means of spectrometry. About 10 mg of trap material was spiked with 209Po and leached with concentrated HCl. Polonium isotopes were collected onto silver disks and counted for at least two days with Canberra alpha detectors
