Kaurna Stone Artefacts: Some Methods of Analysis (Book review)
No full textKaurna Stone Artefacts is not intended as an academic study of variation across flaked stone artefacts, instead it focuses on local identification and seeks to assist ‘anyone who has an interest in understanding and recording stone artefacts commonly found within the Kaurna’s traditional lands’ (p.1). Here flaked stone artefacts are frequently made or reduced from quartz, quartzite and silcrete, with the often-misidentified bipolar reduction technique. Examples of these Kaurna Country stone materials are used to outline a simple and widely applicable guide for flaked stone artefact identification, across 45, A5 pages – a concise and portable handbook suited to the field, illustrated by Corey Turner (Kaurna Yerta).No Full Tex

No full textTim Di Muzio on 'Sabotage'
No full textIn a series of essays published in 2013 and 2014 on capitaspower.com, political economist Tim Di Muzio explored the concept of ‘sabotage’ as it applies to capitalist power. I recently rediscovered these essays and was so impressed by them that I have reposted them here as a single piece.
About the author: Tim Di Muzio is a researcher at the University of Wollongong. He is the author of numerous books, including Debt as power, Carbon capitalism, and The 1% and the Rest of us

Focussing acoustic waves with intent to control biofouling in water pipes
No full textThe colonisation of water pipes by macro-fouling organisms,such as barnacles and mussels, has presented a significant problem toindustries drawing water from infested sources. Some of these creatureshave been shown to be sensitive to low frequency sound and vibration,which have the potential to disrupt settlement and control populationgrowth without the need for chemical interventions. The applicability ofacoustic techniques to this problem is critically dependent on the achievablerange of guided waves in the fluid or pipe wall which attenuate withdistance from the actuation position due to mechanical losses.In this paper, fluid waves are considered owing to their typically lowerattenuation rates. A fluid-filled pipe is modelled analytically as a 2D rigidwalled duct. Higher order acoustic waves, which are dispersive immediatelyabove cut-on, are focussed at a target position using a transient excitation.The input waveform is obtained by filtering and time-reversingthe impulse response so as to compensate for dispersion thereby compressingthe signal in time and space. Simulations show that peak pressurescan be obtained that are more than an order of magnitude higherthan those achievable by harmonic excitation. Future work will modelfocussing of waves in a 3D pipe with fluid-structure coupling for whichexperimental validation will be sought
First person - Tim Petzold
No full textFirst Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Biology Open, helping researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Tim Petzold is first author on ‘ Connexin 41.8 governs timely haematopoietic stem and progenitor cell specification’, published in BiO. Tim conducted the research described in this article while a PhD student in Julien Bertrand's lab at the Department of Pathology and Immunology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Geneva, Switzerland. He is now a postdoc in the lab of Holger Gerhardt at the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association, Berlin, Germany, investigating developmental biology – previously his focus was on how blood stem cells develop and now it has shifted to how the vascular system develops
