NMR-based lipidomics of fish from a metal(loid) contaminated wetland show differences consistent with effects on cellular membranes and energy storage
(SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT, 2019)Metals and metalloids are priority contaminants due to their non-degradable and bioaccumulative nature, and their ability to regulate and perturb diverse physiological processes in various species. Metal(loid)s are known ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Infection prevention and control in home nursing: case study of four organisations in Australia
(British Journal of Community Nursing, 2015)Aim: The aim of this case study was to explore the environmental challenges nurses experience with infection control practice, and the strategies they use to overcome those challenges. Method: An exploratory case study was ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Assessing plant-available glyphosate in contrasting soils by diffusive gradient in thin-films technique (DGT)
(SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT, 2019)Glyphosate represents one quarter of global herbicide sales, with growing interest in both its fate in soils and potential to cause non-target phytotoxicity to plants. However, assessing glyphosate bioavailability to plants ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
A 10-Year Literature Review of the Impact of Community Based Rehabilitation
(Disability, CBR and Inclusive Development, 2015)A thematic literature review of the impact of CommunityBased Rehabilitation (CBR) in low to middle-income countries was conducted. The review covered the period from 2002 to 2012, and the CBR Matrix was utilised to provide ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Oxygen loss from seagrass roots coincides with colonisation of sulphide-oxidising cable bacteria and reduces sulphide stress
(ISME JOURNAL, 2019)Seagrasses thrive in anoxic sediments where sulphide can accumulate to phytotoxic levels. So how do seagrasses persist in this environment? Here, we propose that radial oxygen loss (ROL) from actively growing root tips ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
A comprehensive numerical investigation on the mechanical properties of hetero-junction carbon nanotubes
(Communications in Theoretical Science, 2015)A set of forty-three hetero-junction CNTs, made of forty-four homogeneous carbon nanotubes of different chiralities and configurations with all possible hetero-connection types, were numerically simulated, based on the ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Evaluation of a simple, inexpensive, in situ sampler for measuring time-weighted average concentrations of suspended sediment in rivers and streams
(HYDROLOGICAL PROCESSES, 2019)The accurate measurement of suspended sediment (<200 μm) in aquatic environments is essential to understand and effectively manage changes to sediment, nutrient, and contaminant concentrations on both temporal and spatial ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Data-driven recursive input–output multivariate statistical forecasting model: case of DO concentration prediction in Advancetown Lake, Australia
(Journal of Hydroinformatics, 2015)A regression model integrating data pre-processing and transformation, input selection techniques and a data-driven statistical model, facilitated accurate seven day ahead time series forecasting of selected water quality ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
A policy analysis of digital strategies: Brisbane vs. Vancouver
(International Journal of Knowledge-Based Development, 2015)A growing number of cities around the world have now realised the need to strategically capitalise on the rapidly growing digital economy. In mid-2013, cities of Brisbane, Australia and Vancouver, Canada both released their ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Rational test ordering in family medicine
(Canadian Family Physician, 2015)A 54-year-old man, P.H., presented to his GP for a “health check.” He was well, with no relevant past medical history or family history. The GP examined him and requested “routine screening bloods” from the computer software ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Beach body work: Australian women’s experiences
(Gender, Place and Culture, 2019)This article examines Australian women’s complex relationship with the beach through a focus on affect and on what bodies do. Interviews with ten participants of diverse backgrounds and of different ages reveal that women ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
The ‘boy scouts’ and ‘bad boys’ of skateboarding: a thematic analysis of the bones brigade
(Sport in Society, 2019)Skateboarding has emerged from an alternative subculture to an influential action sport, boosted by recent inclusion in the Olympic Games. Central to debates in both academic and practice communities are the tensions between ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Young people and alcohol abstention: youth cultural practices and being a non-drinker in Finland and Australia
(Journal of Youth Studies, 2019)Internationally, there has been a significant increase in the numbers of young people choosing not to drink alcohol. This is counter to the weight of opinion that positions young people as irresponsible and as engaging in ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Feminist Knowledges as Interventions in Physical Cultures
(Leisure Sciences, 2019)This collection explores how feminist knowledges work as interventions in physical cultures and recognizes the considerable contribution of feminist theories and methodologies in understanding the power relations implicated ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
The time course and nature of corneal oedema during sealed miniscleral contact lens wear
(CONTACT LENS & ANTERIOR EYE, 2019)Purpose To examine the magnitude and time course of central epithelial, stromal and total corneal thickness changes during sealed miniscleral contact lens wear and the influence of initial central corneal clearance upon ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
The influence of centre thickness on miniscleral lens flexure
(CONTACT LENS & ANTERIOR EYE, 2019)Purpose To examine the influence of centre thickness upon miniscleral lens flexure and the association between the magnitude of in-vivo lens flexure and scleral toricity. Methods In-vivo lens flexure was measured using ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Scleral contact lens thickness profiles: The relationship between average and centre lens thickness
(CONTACT LENS & ANTERIOR EYE, 2019)Purpose To develop a methodology to reliably determine the thickness profile of scleral contact lenses and examine the relationship between the centre and average lens thickness for a range of lens designs and back vertex ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Combined wave-current induced excess pore-pressure in a sandy seabed: Flume observations and comparisons with theoretical models
(Coastal Engineering, 2019)Waves are coexisting with currents in coastal zones; nevertheless, previous experimental studies for excess pore-pressure responses in a porous seabed were predominantly limited to the wave-only condition. In this study, ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Estimation of Clear-Water Local Scour at Pile Groups Using Genetic Expression Programming and Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines
(JOURNAL OF WATERWAY PORT COASTAL AND OCEAN ENGINEERING, 2019)The physical process of scour around pile groups is complex. Due to economical and geotechnical considerations, multiple pile bridge piers have become more common in bridge designs. Various empirical models have been ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Effect of seepage flow on sediment incipient motion around a free spanning pipeline
(COASTAL ENGINEERING, 2019)Sediment incipient motion is the first step of the whole process of sediment transport. However, previous numerical works simplified the seabed surface as a type of impermeable and rigid boundary, and ignored the effect ...JOURNAL ARTICLE
