'Timber And Wood In A Nation' : Australian Forest History Historiography

Mills, Jenny Australian Studies Institute 1997 Journal of Australian studies Vol.4 No.1

This forest philosophy was preached often by Charles Edward Lane poole when he was head of the Australian Forestry School in Canberra in the 1930's. Lane Poole was trained as a scientific forester at the famous French forestry school at Nantes, L'Ecole Nationale des Eaux et Foets. To explain Australian forest history it is necessary to explain its derivations which are twofold.

Direct Determination of Field Emission across the Heterojunctions in a ZnO/Graphene Thin-Film Barristor

Mills, Edmund M.,Min, Bok Ki,Kim, Seong K.,Kim, Seong Jun,Kang, Min-A,Song, Wooseok,Myung, Sung,Lim, Jongsun,An, Ki-Seok,Jung, Jongwan,Kim, Sangtae American Chemical Society 2015 ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES Vol.7 No.33

<P>Graphene barristors are a novel type of electronic switching device with excellent performance, which surpass the low on–off ratios that limit the operation of conventional graphene transistors. In barristors, a gate bias is used to vary graphene’s Fermi level, which in turn controls the height and resistance of a Schottky barrier at a graphene/semiconductor heterojunction. Here we demonstrate that the switching characteristic of a thin-film ZnO/graphene device with simple geometry results from tunneling current across the Schottky barriers formed at the ZnO/graphene heterojunctions. Direct characterization of the current–voltage−temperature relationship of the heterojunctions by ac-impedance spectroscopy reveals that this relationship is controlled predominantly by field emission, unlike most graphene barristors in which thermionic emission is observed. This governing mechanism makes the device unique among graphene barristors, while also having the advantages of simple fabrication and outstanding performance.</P><P><B>Graphic Abstract</B> <IMG SRC='http://pubs.acs.org/appl/literatum/publisher/achs/journals/content/aamick/2015/aamick.2015.7.issue-33/acsami.5b03380/production/images/medium/am-2015-03380u_0006.gif'></P><P><A href='http://pubs.acs.org/doi/suppl/10.1021/am5b03380'>ACS Electronic Supporting Info</A></P>

A simple method for estimating the major nuclide fractional fission rates within light water and advanced gas cooled reactors

Mills, R.W.,Slingsby, B.M.,Coleman, J.,Collins, R.,Holt, G.,Metelko, C.,Schnellbach, Y. Korean Nuclear Society 2020 Nuclear Engineering and Technology Vol.52 No.9

The standard method for calculating anti-neutrino emissions from a reactor involves knowing the fractional fission rates for the most important fissioning nuclides in the reactor. To calculate these rates requires detailed reactor physics calculations based upon the reactor design, fuel design, burnup dependent fuel composition, location of specific fuel assemblies in the core and detailed operational data from the reactor. This has only been published for a few reactors during specific time periods, whereas to be of practical use for anti-neutrino reactor monitoring it is necessary to be able to predict these on the publicly available information from any reactor, especially if using these data to subtract the anti-neutrino signal from other reactors to identify an undeclared reactor and monitor its operation. This paper proposes a method to estimate the fission fractions for a specific reactor based upon publicly available information and provides a database based upon a series of spent fuel inventory calculations using the FISPIN10 code and its associated data libraries.

Blue bottle light: lecture demonstrations of homogeneous and heterogeneous photo-induced electron transfer reactions

Mills, Andrew,Lawrie, Katherine,McFarlane, Michael Korean Society of Photoscience 2009 Photochemical & photobiological sciences Vol.8 No.3

The classic, non-photochemical blue bottle experiment involves the reaction of methylene blue (MB) with deprotonated glucose, to form a bleached form of the dye, leuco-methylene blue (LMB), and subsequent colour recovery by shaking with air. This reaction is a popular demonstrator of key principles in kinetics and reaction mechanisms. Here it is modified so as to highlight features of homogenous and heterogeneous photoinduced electron transfer (PET) (Pure Appl. Chem., 2007, 79, 293-465) reactions, i.e. blue bottle light experiments. The homogeneous blue bottle light experiment uses methylene blue, MB, as the photo-sensitizer and triethanolamine as the sacrificial electron donor. Visible light irradiation of this system leads to its rapid bleaching, followed by the ready restoration of its original colour upon shaking away from the light source. The heterogeneous blue bottle light experiment uses titania as the photo-sensitizer, MB as a redox indicator and glucose as the sacrificial electron donor. UVA light irradiation of this system leads to the rapid bleaching of the MB and the gradual restoration of its original colour with shaking and standing. The latter 'dark' step can be made facile and more demonstrator-friendly by using platinised titania particles. These two photochemical versions of the blue bottle experiment are used to explore the factors which underpin homogeneous and heterogeneous PET reactions and provide useful demonstrations of homogeneous and heterogeneous photochemistry.

Acute Operative Management of Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures Is Associated with Decreased Morbidity

Mills Emily S.,Ton Andy T.,Bouz Gabriel,Alluri Ram K.,Hah Raymond J. 대한척추외과학회 2022 Asian Spine Journal Vol.16 No.5

Study Design: Retrospective national database study design.Purpose: This study was designed to determine whether acute percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) alters morbidity compared with nonoperative management.Overview of Literature: Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OCFs) are common and represent a large economic and patient burden. Several recent studies have focused on whether PVA offers benefits compared with nonoperative treatment.Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample from 2015 to 2018. Patients with nonelective admissions for OCFs were identified using International Classification of Diseases (10th edition) codes. The exclusion criteria included age of less than 50 years, fusion and decompression procedures, and the presence of neoplasms and infections. Propensity score matching was implemented to construct 2:1 matched cohorts with similar comorbidities at admission. The patients were divided into the operative and nonoperative treatment groups. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to compare differences in in-hospital complication rates between the groups. All <i>p</i>-values of less than 0.05 were considered significant.Results: We identified 14,850 patients in the operative group and 29,700 patients in the nonoperative group. In the multivariate analysis, operative treatment was associated with significantly lower rates of pneumonia (odds ratio [OR], 0.75; <i>p</i><0.001), acute respiratory failure (OR, 0.84; <i>p</i>=0.009), myocardial infarction (OR, 0.20; <i>p</i><0.001), acute heart failure (OR, 0.80; <i>p</i>=0.001), cardiogenic shock (OR, 0.23; <i>p</i>=0.001), sepsis (OR, 0.39; <i>p</i><0.001), septic shock (OR 0.50; <i>p</i><0.001), and pressure ulcerations (OR, 0.71; <i>p</i><0.001). However, operative treatment was associated with a significantly greater risk of acute renal failure (OR, 1.19; <i>p</i><0.001) than nonoperative treatment.Conclusions: Patients who undergo acute PVA for OCFs have lower rates of respiratory complications, cardiac complications, sepsis, and pressure ulcerations while having a higher risk of acute renal failure.

Yeats’s Double Visions

Margaret Mills Harper 한국예이츠학회 2011 한국예이츠 저널 Vol.36 No.-

예이츠의 작업은 자신의 시와 다른 작품에서 다수의 자아의 창조를 강조한다. 그는 또 집요하게 수정하기 때문에 작품의 의미를 찾는데 각기 다른 작품들 사이의 차이는 중요하다. 그의 철학적 저서 비전 은 특히 다양한 면을 지니며, 개성의 다양한 양상, 영혼의 단계, 역사적 정신적 진실의 여러 면을 강조한다. 비전 에는 낭만적 예이츠의 끝과 모더니스 예이츠의 시작이라는 이중적 양상으로 여길 수 있는 산문 작품, 친절한 달의 침묵 이라는 소책자의 영향이 보인다. 비전 자체도 두 버전이 있다. 1925년과 1935년에 발행된 이 두 책의 차이는 예이츠의 1920년대와 1930년대의 작품의 차이를 보인다. 두 책은 시간을 초월한 진리를 나타내기 보다는 각기 한 시기의 존재로 보게 한다. 두 권이 하나인 비전 을 인정하는 것은, 이 책이 예이츠와 그의 부인 조지 사이의 자동기술의 결과라는 점에서, 공저라는 사실에 주목하게 한다. Yeats’s work stresses the creation of multiple selves in his poetry and other work. Yeats also revised obsessively, and the differences between versions of his works are important in finding their meanings. The philosophical book A Vision is especially many-faceted, emphasizing multiple aspects of the personality, stages of the soul, and versions of historical and spiritual truth. A Vision is influenced by Yeats’s small monograph Per Amica Silentia Lunae, a prose work that we can think of as itself double-facing: the end of the romantic Yeats and the beginning of the modernist Yeats. A Vision is itself two books. The differences between the two books (one version published in 1925 and one in 1937) illustrate differences in Yeats’s work in the 1920s and the 1930s. Each book points to itself as existing in one moment rather than standing for atemporal truth. Recognizing A Vision as a book that is two books also draws attention to the importance of this work as co-authored, in the sense that it is the result of the occult collaboration between Yeats and his wife George.

Development of a multi criteria decision analysis framework for the assessment of integrated waste management options for irradiated graphite

Abrahamsen-Mills, Liam,Wareing, Alan,Fowler, Linda,Jarvis, Richard,Norris, Simon,Banford, Anthony Korean Nuclear Society 2021 Nuclear Engineering and Technology Vol.53 No.4

An integrated waste management approach for irradiated graphite was developed during the European Commission project 'Treatment and Disposal of Irradiated Graphite and other Carbonaceous Waste'. This included the identification of potential options for the management of irradiated graphite, taking account of storage, retrieval, treatment and disposal methods. This paper describes how these options can be assessed using multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) for a case study relating to a generic power reactor. Criteria have been defined to account for safety, environmental, economic and socio-political factors, including radiological impact, resource usage, economic costs and risks. The impact of each option against each criterion has been assessed using data from the project and the wider literature. A linear additive approach has been used to convert the calculated impacts to scores. To account for the relative importance of the criteria, example weightings were allocated. This application has shown that MCDA approaches can be used to support complex decisions regarding irradiated graphite management, accounting for a wide range of criteria. Use of this approach by individual countries or organisations will need to account for the specific options, scores, weightings and constraints that apply, based on their national strategies, regulatory requirements and public acceptability.
