Foreword to The Organic Grower
No full textAudrey Windram is a living treasure of Australian organics. She has been ‘fighting the good fight’ to advance the cause of organics for the best part of half a century. When it comes to organics, Audrey leads by example. She has been living the organic life, variously as an organics pioneer, producer, evangelist, educator and author, all the while ‘practising what she preaches’ and preaching in the most gentle of ways. It is a delight to commend Audrey Windram’s latest book The Organic Grower on the fortieth anniversary of the publication of her first organics book. Organic Gardening originally appeared in 1975 as a Rigby Instant Book. It was a mass-market book distributed throughout Australia. The organics enterprise must continue to draw strength from the validity of its foundational premises and continue the fight which Lord Northbourne warned in 1940 may be a fight lasting “for many decades, perhaps for centuries”. In The Organic Grower Audrey Windram brings together four publications, Organic Gardening, the two volumes of Meet the Organic Farmer, together with Ways of Being Organic. Enjoy it
Audrey and Bill a romantic biography of Audrey Hepburn & William Holden
No full text"Here for the first time is the complete, captivating story of an on-set romance that turned into a lifelong love story between silver screen legends Audrey Hepburn and William Holden. In 1954, Hepburn and Holden were America's sweethearts. Both won Oscars that year and together they filmed Sabrina, a now-iconic film that continues to inspire the worlds of film and fashion. Audrey & Bill tells the stories of both stars, from before they met to their electrifying first encounter when they began making Sabrina. The love affair that sparked on-set was relatively short-lived, but was a turning point in the lives of both stars. Audrey & Bill follows both Hepburn and Holden as their lives crisscrossed through to the end, providing an inside look at the Hollywood of the 1950s, '60s, and beyond. Through in-depth research and interviews with former friends, co-stars, and studio workers, Audrey & Bill author Edward Z. Epstein sheds new light on the stars and the fascinating times in which they lived"-
Fast Fiber Orientation Estimation in Diffusion MRI from kq-Space Sampling and Anatomical Priors
No full textHigh spatio-angular resolution diffusion MRI (dMRI) has been shown to provide accurate identification of complex neuronal fiber configurations, albeit, at the cost of long acquisition times. We propose a method to recover intra-voxel fiber configurations at high spatio-angular resolution relying on a 3D kq-space under-sampling scheme to enable accelerated acquisitions. The inverse problem for the reconstruction of the fiber orientation distribution (FOD) is regularized by a structured sparsity prior promoting simultaneously voxel-wise sparsity and spatial smoothness of fiber orientation. Prior knowledge of the spatial distribution of white matter, gray matter, and cerebrospinal fluid is also leveraged. A minimization problem is formulated and solved via a stochastic forward–backward algorithm. Simulations and real data analysis suggest that accurate FOD mapping can be achieved from severe kq-space under-sampling regimes potentially enabling high spatio-angular resolution dMRI in the clinical setting

Regulation of proNGF processing and its effects on p75NTR-mediated cell death following seizure
No full textNerve growth factor (NGF) has been known to play critical roles in neuronal survival and differentiation during development. Recent studies have
discovered that its immature form, proNGF, is a ligand for the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR). proNGF binding to p75NTR activates apoptotic signaling, and
this binding occurs with a five-fold higher affinity than that of mature NGF (Lee et al., 2001). This binding preference, along with the increased prevalence of
proNGF after injury (Harrington et al., 2004), creates a cellular environment susceptible to cell death; thus, the balance between levels of pro- and mature NGF may be a key factor in determining whether a neuron lives or dies (Lee et al., 2001; Volosin et al., 2006). Using both in vitro and in vivo methods, this thesis examined the mechanisms that regulate the extracellular processing of proNGF and the consequences of that processing on p75NTR-mediated cell death following injury. The results discussed here demonstrate that 1) proNGF binding leads to cell death via the p75NTR signaling pathway; 2) after injury, proNGF is upregulated and preferentially secreted in a functional manner capable of
activating the p75NTR-mediated apoptotic pathway; 3) the enzymes plasmin and MMP7 extracellularly cleave proNGF, 4) after injury, plasmin activation and
MMP7 activity are reduced, leading to increased proNGF-induced apoptosis, and 5) restoring plasmin or MMP7 activity following brain injury reduces proNGF
levels and consequently, p75NTR-mediated apoptosis. Overall, these data suggest that increased cell death following injury may be mediated in part by a
change in the balance between extracellular proNGF and the activity of its processing enzymes, leading to increased cell death via p75NTR.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Audrey P. L

Audrey Macdonald’s Turkish Suite
No full textThe output engages with the field of Printmaking and cross-cultural dialogue in the visual arts. The work responded to a proposition by the curator, John Robinson, who had bought a second-hand book containing elements of a person’s life. The book contained the name Audrey MacDonald, an address in Edinburgh, a list of items to pack and a luggage label from the Hotel Rossiya in Moscow. Inspired by Turkish author Yashar Kemal’s novel, ‘They Burn Thistles’, my work engaged with the clues of cultural exchanges. The project aimed to engage artists in a thematic exhibition around imaging and imagining the life of a traveller. Audrey MacDonald was used as a premise for researching different cultural traditions responding to the location of Hobart based on travel and exposure. A variety of visual responses were explored with initial involving copying sections of Persian miniatures. These forms were abstracted and developed into a suite of lithographic collages. The works contrasted chance-based organic lithographic washes on Japanese rice paper against strong geometric forms redolent of architecture. Incorporated into the strategy was thinking through Hobart as ‘Edinburgh’ in the sense that the building blocks of the cities are directly related to the mountain rocks they are carved from. This continues my research into the integration of culture and place influenced by forms of printmaking that are accessible through trade and travel. This work innovates on cultural traditions combining languages and materials from Japan, Turkey, Europe and Australia.</p
