This project examines how the moving image can be used as a vehicle of memory, to express what is lost, what is gained and what changes occur in relation to personal family migratory history—a messy and ambiguous process. This practice-led research project investigates video work, using filmed materials and objects, to focus attention on the non-linear aspect of time as it is subjected to individual and collective memories. The outcomes highlight the sometimes disconnecting and unpredictable experiences of migration, storytelling, and memory.

This research explores whether Environmental Management Accounting can be applied to assist an Australian cogeneration company in improving both its financial performance as well as its environmental performance. Cogeneration or ‘combined heat and power’, in this particular case, involves the simultaneous production of heat and electricity using a single fuel, that is, natural gas. The heat generated is then used to produce steam to meet the customers’ requirements as well as boost the production of electricity.

The aim of this research is to gain an in-depth understanding of the role of extended family members in family decision-making in the context of a high-involvement purchase in an emerging economy. A high-involvement purchase involves a positive and strong engagement for consumers and thus requires that the purchaser devotes more time, thought, energy, motivation and other resources to the purchase process (George & Edward, 2009; O’Cass, 2000).

The growth of waterborne pathogens and the discharge of partially treated or non-treated chemical waste has become a severe environmental and health risk. Conventional wastewater treatment methods have become less effective, and most current techniques require multiple stages for the disinfection of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) pathogens and the combined removal of toxic, non-biodegradable, or emerging priority pollutants from wastewater.

The objectives of the present study are: To design and produce functional samples of woven single-layer, fire-resistant fabrics made from natural, FR man-made cellulosics, and high-performance synthetic blended yarns; to determine the physiological consequences and health risks associated with wearing PPC in hot, humid environments in relation to metabolic heat production and physical work for firefighters trying to maintain the balance between protection and comfort, and its implication on the required Station Wear fabric properties.

Through this body of work it was found that both lysozyme and sfGFP remained in their native state in each of the selected PILs at 1 mol% IL: water concentrations. Both selected proteins were stable to highest proportions of PILs which contained the propylammonium cation and the acetate anion. This was contrary to some previously reported studies where the elongation of the alkyl chain length provided a greater stabilising effect than the shorter chained ILs.

These formal definitions often seem far stronger than necessary for practical security — many cryptosystems used in practice do not satisfy the formal definitions. This includes typical ElGamal implementations. The attacks discussed in this paper suggest that it is worth striving to meet formal definitions of security in actual implementations.

Ambiguity in language translation is due to the presence of words in the source language with multiple non-synonymous target equivalents. A contextual analysis is required whenever a grammatical analysis fails to resolve such ambiguity. In the case of scientific and engineering literature, clues to the context can be obtained from a knowledge of the varying degrees of probability with which words occur in different fields of science.
