Remarks
Aerial Photography
This is the latest of many unsuccessful attempts at acquiring aerial photography of Macquarie Island. If aerial photography is to be considered a priority for the Mapping Program's support of the scientific community it is evident that a different approach is required. Attempting to acquire a systematic coverage during a three to four day re-supply visit is unrealistic owing to the short time frame, emphasis on cargo operations and generally poor weather conditions. Other options put forward by Noel Ward in January this year are:
- Leave a suitably equipped aircraft on the island for a short summer season
- During a short ship visit place one aircraft under the control of the mapping program so that cargo operations cannot compromise attempts at aerial photography
- Engaging a contractor to acquire photography on a pay on results basis
Because of the weather conditions it is unrealistic to expect to be able to acquire photography of the whole island in one mission during a re-supply visit. The aircraft is required for cargo operations and it takes about 1-2 hours to equip the helicopter. If an aircraft were equipped and dedicated to the aerial photography it may be possible to photograph the island 'bit by bit' as the weather allows.
To improve response time most of the camera equipment could be permanently pre-fitted to the rack and a full wiring harness developed. This would reduce the time it takes to fit the camera equipment into the helicopter, enabling a faster response when weather conditions become suitable for aerial photography.
GPS Problems at Hurd Point
Problems with the Leica GPS equipment prevented the measurement of the baseline from the Aurora Camera Stand NMX1 to Hurd Point Trig NMX7. These problems may have been avoided if the surveyor, Frank Hoogesteger, had had the opportunity of testing the equipment prior to the departure of voyage 3.Taken from sections of the report:<br/><br/>Introduction<br/><br/>This report details the survey work carried out on Macquarie Island during November and December of 1996 by the Australian Surveying and Land Information Group (AUSLIG) on behalf of the Australian Antarctic Division's Mapping Program. The principle aim of the program was to acquire aerial photography to enable the production of a new topographic map of the island. A number of other tasks were also required to be carried out. This report deals with each task and the results achieved.<br/><br/>The survey work was carried out by the following people:<br/><br/>Frank Hoogesteger - Tasmanian Department of Environment and Land Management<br/>Roger Handsworth - Platypus Engineering<br/>Richard Lemon - Australian Surveying and land Information Group<br/><br/>Although this report touches on the work carried out by Roger Handsworth and Frank Hoogesteger, it does not cover the specifics of their work, that being the subject of separate reports to be submitted the them.<br/><br/>Time Frame<br/><br/>The Macquarie Island field party departed Hobart at about 5pm on Monday 25th November 1996 aboard the Aurora Australis, voyage 3 of the ANARE re-supply season. Voyage 3 arrived at Macquarie Island at about 9am eastern standard summer time (UT+11) on Thursday 28th November. The survey party departed Macquarie Island at about 10am on Monday 2nd December and arrived back in Hobart at about 7am on Thursday 5th December 1996.<br/><br/>This provided three and a half days on the island in which to complete the survey program.<br/> <br/>Aims and Project Brief<br/><br/>The 1996/97 Survey Program for Macquarie Island lists the following tasks and those responsible for their execution:<br/><br/>1. Aerial Photography of the island and station area (Lemon/Handsworth)<br/>2. Precise leveling from AFN station, AUS211 RM1 and RM2 to Garden Cove Bench Mark AUS228 (Lemon)<br/>3. Field survey of station buildings and services to check and update Digital Station Information System (Lemon)<br/>4. Install tide gauge staff and carry out water level observations at Garden Cove (Handsworth/Lemon-assist)<br/>5. GPS baseline from the AFN Station AUS211 to the Garden Cove Tide Gauge Bench Mark AUS92 (Lemon)<br/>6. Retrieval of corner cube reflectors for use on Heard Island (Lemon)<br/>7. Re-establish the Management Zone boundaries and identify to the new Station Leader (Hoogesteger)<br/>8. Level connection by GPS from the aurora camera stand NMX1 to Hurd Point Trig. NMX7 (Hoogesteger)<br/>9. Level connection by EDM from Hurd Point Trig NMX7 to tide gauge sensor (Hoogesteger)<br/>10. Download data and Check Hurd Point Tide Gauge. Install temporary tide staff at Hurd Point and take water level and temperature readings (Hoogesteger)<br/>11. Carry out maintenance of the tide gauges at Garden Cove (Handsworth)<br/>12.

Although the occurrence of dental caries in Uganda is on the rise, little attention has been paid to promoting oral healthcare in the country. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the citrus lemon extracts, and Mondia whitei root bark ethanolic extract as candidate alternative therapeutic agents for streptococcus mutans, the causative agent of dental caries.Methods: In this study, the citrus lemon juice, pulp citrus lemon juice, and Mondia whitei ethanolic extract were screened for phytochemicals. Furthermore, the anti-Streptococcus mutans activity of the citrus lemon juice, citrus lemon pulp juice, and Mondia whitei ethanolic extract was determined by the agar well diffusion method while the minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration were determined by serial broth dilution.Results: Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, and tannins in the Mondia whitei ethanolic extract and citrus lemon juices, while glycosides were only detected in lemon extracts. The zones of inhibition of Mondia whitei ethanolic extract, citrus lemon juice, citrus lemon pulp juice, and the cocktail were 13.67 ± 0.33 mm, 18.67 ± 0.33 mm, 18.33 ± 0.67 mm, and 18.00 ± 0.58 mm, respectively. The citrus lemon juice and citrus lemon pulp juice exhibited significantly lower MIC of 0.195 mg/mL, and 0.391mg/mL, respectively. The efficacy of the extract/juices increased with an increase in the concentration.Conclusion: The study findings revealed that Mondia whitei ethanolic extract and lemon extracts have potent antibacterial activity against streptococcus mutans, the main causative agent of dental caries; thus, can be further explored to formulate a herbal concoction for the prevention and treatment of oral cavity infections in resources-limited low-income communities.Keywords: oral healthcare, dental caries, citrus lemon juice: Mondia whitei ethanolic extrac

Higher Biofilm Formation by Multi-Drug Resistant K-pneumoniae and K-rhinoscleromatis Strains and Effects of Lemon and Ginger Essential Oils on Biofilm Formation
No full textBackground: Klebsiella strains are opportunistic pathogens forming biofilms on many surfaces. Nowadays some resistance traits' acquirements via gene transfer mechanisms in biofilm environments cause an urgency to discover new substances targeting biofilm inhibition. Objective: The focus of this study is to examine different K. pneumoniae and K. rhinoscleromatis strains' clinical information and antibiotic resistance results according to their biofilm formation levels and to determine lemon and ginger essential oils' effects on biofilm formation. Methods: Biofilm formation of different Klebsiella strains and effects of ginger and lemon essential oils on biofilm formation were determined by Crystal Violet Binding assay. Results: Strong biofilm forming K. pneumoniae strains were more frequently observed to be isolated from blood sample. 80% of multi-drug resistant K. pneumoniae strains were strong biofilm forming and all multi-drug resistant K. rhinoscleromatis strains were intermediate biofilm formers. 170 mu l/ mL of lemon essential oil caused 48.3% (+/- 13.7) and 83.4% (+/- 7.2) decreases in biofilm formation amounts of strongest biofilm forming K. pneumoniae and K. rhinoscleromatis strains respectively. Conclusion: According to our results; multi-drug resistant K. pneumoniae and K. rhinoscleromatis strains form higher amount of biofilms and lemon essential oil might be used as a new anti-biofilm agent, targeting the inhibition of biofilm formation of K. pneumoniae and K. rhinoscleromatis strains
