Preface
On 26 March 2003 the Senate agreed to the recommendation of the Selection of Bills Committee in its Report No. 4 of 2003 that the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Amendment (Invasive Species) Bill 2002 be referred to the Environment Communications, Information Technology and the Arts Legislation Committee for inquiry and report by 25 November 2003.
It was subsequently agreed that there was merit in a more comprehensive examination of the general topic of the regulation, control and management of invasive species, and accordingly on 26 June 2003 the Senate agreed to refer the Bill to the Environment Communications, Information Technology and the Arts References Committee for examination in conjunction with a broad inquiry into invasive species with the following terms of reference:
(1) The regulation, control and management of invasive species, being non-native flora and fauna that may threaten biodiversity, with particular reference to:
(a) the nature and extent of the threat that invasive species pose to the Australian environment and economy;
(b) the estimated cost of different responses to the environmental issues associated with invasive species, including early eradication, containment, damage mitigation and inaction, with particular focus on:
the following pests:
(A) European fox (Vulpes vulpes),
(B) yellow crazy ant (Anoplolepis gracilipes),
(C) fire ant (Solenopsis invicta),
(D) cane toad (Bufo marinus), and
(E) feral cat (Felis catus) and pig (Sus scrofa), and
the following weeds:
(A) mimosa (Mimosa pigra),
(B) serrated tussock (Nassella trichotoma),
(C) willows (Salix spp.),
(D) lantana (Lantana camara),
(E) blackberry (Rubus fruticosus agg.), and
(F) parkinsonia (Parkinsonia aculeata);
(c) the adequacy and effectiveness of the current Commonwealth, state and territory statutory and administrative arrangements for the regulation and control of invasive species;
(d) the effectiveness of Commonwealth-funded measures to control invasive species; and
(e) whether the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Amendment (Invasive Species) Bill 2002 could assist in improving the current statutory and administrative arrangements for the regulation, control and management of invasive species

[Letter] 1856 July 19, Trinity College [to] Members of the Senate and Graduates of Cambridge / Sedgwick.

On the back of this letter, another letter is begun which describes the transportation of the collection.Writes regarding the Reverand T. Image\u27s (of Corpus Christi College) paleontological collection which has been acquired by the Woodwardian Museum at a "price much below its real value," and is particularly rich in the English Second Series in which the Cambridge Cabinets are most defective. Sedgwick estimates that the collection can be transported and arranged for a cost of less than 350 pounds. It can be added to the Geological Museum with a subscription to recoup the cost; Segwick requests assistance in what he states will probably be his last service undertaken for the University

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
