Francis Hare Papers (no.6): John Mullan (?), Revenue Detective, to the Chief Inspector of Distilleries
No full textThis is part of the digitized version of the Francis Hare Correspondence held in the University of Melbourne Archives. It consists of 54 letters and documents, of which this is one, from 1859-87 and received by or relating to Superintendent Francis Hare, one of the members of the Victoria police force involved in the pursuit and capture of the Kelly Gang. The collection complements Hare’s published memoir, The Last of the Bushrangers (London, 1892) and includes letters by some of the key figures of the Kelly story including the Police Commissioner Frederick Standish, Superintendents Charles Hope Nicolson and John Sadleir, Detective M Ward and John Sherritt, as well as items by Hare himself.Paper no.6, 30 December 1865TEXT: Melbourne 30th Decr 1865 / / / Revenue Detective Mullan reports for the information of the Chief Inspector of Distilleries that in accordance with instructions recorded he made enquiries respecting Currie and finds his Description to be as per margin.

Isolation of polyphosphate-accumulating lactic acid bacteria from natural whey starters
No full textNatural water-buffalo whey starters are used in the manufacture of Mozzarella cheese in Southern Italy. Microscopic examination of 12 commercial whey starters revealed high concentrations of lactic acid bacteria, in particular lactobacilli, containing inclusion bodies. Differential staining techniques revealed that the inclusion bodies contained high concentrations of polyphosphate (polyP). Because of the potential role of polyP in intracellular pH control, the presence of this polymer in starter bacteria may be an environmental adaptation to the typical high acidity storage conditions of natural starters
SpitzerObservations of Nearby M Dwarfs
No full textWe present Spitzer IRAC and MIPS observations for a sample of eight M dwarfs: six dMe, one dM, and one sdMe star. All of our targets are found to have SEDs that are fitted within the error bars by a purely photospheric spectrum out to 24 mu m. We find no evidence for IR excess. None of our targets are detected in the MIPS 70 and 160 mu m bands. The estimated ages for all are > 10 Myr, suggesting that enough disk dissipation has occurred within the inner several AU of the star. For four of these, Mullan et al. had reported IRAS detections at 12 mu m, although the reported fluxes were below the 5 sigma IRAS detection limit (similar to 0.2 Jy). Mullan et al. also pointed out that V - K colors in dMe stars are larger than those in dM stars, possibly because of the presence of a chromosphere. Here we suggest that metallicity effects provide a better explanation of the V - K data. For reasons of observational selection, our targets are not the most active flare stars known, but being dMe stars indicates the presence of a chromosphere. Scaling from Houdebine's model of the AU Mic chromosphere, we have computed the free-free IR excesses for a range of densities. Our Spitzer 24 mu m data show that the chromospheres in two of our targets are less dense than in AU Mic by a factor of 10 or more. This is consistent with the fact that our sample includes the less active flare stars. Our models also indicate that the chromospheric contribution to the observed AU Mic emission at submillimeter wavelengths is only about 2%

M dwarfs: Theoretical work
No full textTheoretical work on the atmospheres of M dwarfs has progressed along lines parallel to those followed in the study of other classes of stars. Such models have become increasingly sophisticated as improvements in opacities, in the equation of state, and in the treatment of convection were incorporated during the last 15 to 20 years. As a result, spectrophotometric data on M dwarfs can now be fitted rather well by current models. The various attempts at modeling M dwarf photospheres in purely thermal terms are summarized. Some extensions of these models to include the effects of microturbulence and magnetic inhomogeneities are presented
Tribunals Imitating Courts - Foolish Flattery or Sound Policy?
No full textIn his 2004 Horace E Read Memorial Lecture, David Mullan assesses the impact of the due process explosion. To what extent has the evolution of Canadian law (both statutory and common) in the domain of procedural fairness been responsible for the phenomenon of excessive judicialization of the administrative process? Has the increase in the number of decision-makers subject to the obligation of procedural fairness and the growth in the parallels between tribunal and court processes affected adversely the interests of the administrative justice system and the public that it is meant to serve? The author suggests that there is a basis for this concern. He also argues that one potentially profitable way of dealing with it is for tribunals to recognize that they do not always have to function in the same way procedurally for all matters coming before them for resolution. While some tribunals have accepted this and make provision in their rules for variegated procedures depending on context, the author contends that the time may now have come to legislate for this possibility in the manner of the 1981 Model State Administrative Procedure Act
Temperature Dependence of the Primary Relaxation in 1-Hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis{(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl}imide
No full textWe present results from complementary characterizations of the primary relaxation rate of a room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL), 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis{(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl} imide, [C(6)mim][Tf2N], over a wide temperature range. This extensive data set is successfully merged with existing literature data for conductivity, viscosity, and NMR diffusion coefficients thus providing, for the case of RTILs, a unique description of the primary process relaxation map over more than 12 decades in relaxation rate and between 185 and 430 K. This unique data set allows a detailed characterization of the VTF parameters for the primary process, that are: B = 890 K, T-0 = 155.2 K, leading to a fragility index m = 71, corresponding to an intermediate fragility. For the first time neutron spin echo data from a fully deuteriated sample of RTIL at the two main interference peaks, Q = 0.76 and 1.4 angstrom(-1) are presented. At high temperature (T > 250 K), the collective structural relaxation rate follows the viscosity behavior; however at lower temperatures it deviates from the viscosity behavior, indicating the existence of a faster process

Effect of variety, growing region and growing season on digestible energy content of wheats grown in Western Australia for weaner pigs
No full textAn experiment was conducted to examine the digestible energy (DE) content for weanling pigs in a cohort of wheats grown in Western Australia, and to establish relationships between DE content and their chemical composition. The 3 5 3 5 2 factorial experiment examined the wheat variety (Arrino, Stiletto and Westonia), growing location (high, medium and low rainfall zone) and harvest year (1999 and 2000). Pigs (no. = 5 per diet) aged about 28 days were given a diet at a level of 0.05 5 live weight containing 900 g/kg of the wheat and an acid-insoluble ash marker for 10 days, with samples of faeces collected from each pig for the final 5 days. The average live weight of pigs was 6.6 (s.d. 0.77) kg. The DE content of wheats harvested in 1999 varied by up to 1.3 MJ/kg, while wheats harvested in 2000 varied by up to 1.8 MJ/kg. When the 2 years' data were combined, the DE content ranged from 12.5 to 14.4 MJ/kg. Both the variety and growing region significantly influenced (P 0.05) with the wheats harvested in 2000. In addition, the precipitation level (mm) during the growing season of wheats was strongly correlated (r = -0.821, P < 0.01) to the DE content of wheat in year 1999, but was not correlated in 2000. The results indicate that the genetic and environmental conditions during the growth of wheat have a significant impact on the utilization of plant energy in weaner pigs, and that greater attention needs to be paid to these influences in the assignment of energy values for wheats given to weaner pigs
